Qinli Palace.

The Qinli Kingdom is a 6th rank kingdom under the wing of Shuilu Empire.

Inside the King's room, a man knelt on the floor.

It was steward Lii.

"Find whoever is responsible on the kidnapping event of Chang You's 2nd son. *We don't mind even if you have to use a 9th rank martial artist. *We need to find what kind of mice dares to sneakily do things right under *Our nose." The King's voice echoed through the room. Steward Lii, just silently knelt on the floor not saying anything.

A/n: *, I used *we/us/our because the king's voice represent's the whole kingdom.

"Understood." He curtsied and was about leave the room. When the King started talking again.

"After this war... I will fulfill my promise." The King said with voice full of certainty, it was the word of Fergard Lyne, not the King's.

Lii's mouth curved upwards as he leave the room.

Shihu Inn, room #07.

The sun shone brightly. The bustling and lively town of Qinli Kingdom, started their work. On the Ture Town lays the Great General's manor.

Rui Wei sat beside the window, her hands supporting her chin. Watching the people as they pass by.

'Hmm... Things have been quite smooth. It's going way too well. Even though I Investigated the enemy's background, personality and personal hobbies just so my plans would go smootly... I still don't feel satisfied.'

I put my arms behind my head, I rocked my chair and slowly dozed off.

I peeked behind me, looking at Ruzi who is trying his hard to freeze the water inside the cup. Ruzi is sitting on a babystool which I requested to a certain craftsman. The sit is made of a fragrant wood, which I put layers upon layers of cottons, so Ruzi would be comfortable. Quite an extravagant seat for a baby if I may say so...

Ruzi at the age of 1 year and 2 months has started to cultivate... I once gave him normal toys, he threw it away and didn't look at it for a second time. He just focused on trying to freeze the water.

Because of his attitude. I once doubted that he's a reincarnated person or someone who transmigrated after some months, either from the earth or another multi universe.... Either way, in my point of view there's nothing impossible, now, that I even transmigrated here.'

'I speaked in different languages in front of him, but Ruzi just stared at me for a second, then goes back to freezing the water.

I've reached into many conclusions but in the end, just dropped it. Since he's my child now, even if he is a reincarnator who is formerly a god or whatsoever, he needs to listen to me or he'll get a spank in the booty.

While I was leisurely wasting time-- no, I mean, waiting for Steward Lii's people,to add my finishing touch, so I could leave this kingdom.

From the crowds I recognized a familiar figure. Her whole person emitted a depressed aura, that even the people who passed by her were also affected.

It was Sona.

'If I'm not wrong, she'll be sent back to her home?'

'Although, she was plotted against, she is also one of the weakest servant inside the Manor. Clearly, Steward Lii purposely gave me the weakest servants, albeit when he starts to take action; it'll be a lot easier and after my death, he would have an excuse to fire them. He would even look quite the benevolent person, as the servant failed their duty to protect their master and is punishable by death.'

'Woah... I thought he only gave me the weakest servants so he could kill me easily, but to think he wanted to kill 2 birds with one stone... '

Ah!! I suddenly thought of an idea.

I got off the chair and picked up Ruzi.

"MAMA!" Ruzi pouted at me who suddenly picked him up, the cup of water which was starting freeze, immediately became water again. I ignored Ruzi's complaint as I bought him in front of the window.

"Ruzi look, do you know that big sister over there?" I pointed Sona's figure, which Ruzi quickly saw.

"Hmm!" Ruzi nodded his head when he saw Sona.

"Do you want to play with her again?"

"Oh!" Ruzi once again nodded his head, but he was still pouting.

Hiring Sona, who is very loyal to me for unknown reasons. I have investigated her background.... She have 3 brothers and 4 sisters, who are all married, her parents are just living leisurely inside the mansion that Sona created with her hard-earned money, also all of dowries of her siblings came from Sona's pocket. In short, Sona is the pillar of the family. But right now her family have tried to improve themselves and have been quite successful in business, In short Sona doesn't have to do anything, as her family will surely welcome her back with warm open hands. Her hobbies are martial arts, magic, and swordmanship... she is a person of Jianghu.

Her Martial Arts stopped at the 2nd Rank and she only knows a few techniques, her swordmanship is even worse as she only know the basic arts, and her magic doesn't seem to improve as until now she is stuck at the peak of 4th rank... The real problem lays at Sona's Qi Veins...

Her veins is full of impurities. That's why she can't advance in rank, If I cleanse the impurity on her veins and gain her trust-- she, uh... she's already blindly following me,though.

I watched Sona's figure disappear within the crowd. Ruzi innocently waved his hands at the direction where Sona went.

"Ruzi, I will go out for a while, ok?" I put him down on his sit. Ruzi didn't even bother to reply as he once again focused on the cup of water in front of him. I changed my appearance into a handsome young lad, with a blood red hair.

I activated the formation inside the room, and left.

Serena Street; Wu Residence

Wu Residence, was built just a few years ago, they own several small humble shops. People generally have good impressions towards them, due to their honest personalities.

"Aiyah... Sona don't be like that, look around you, this is all the fruit of your hard-work, so what if you lost your job? it's not like it's the end of the world. Now, now, eat." A lady on her 40's pushed several plates in front of the dejected Sona.

"Ha... This child, what will this old lady do to you?" It was Sona's Mother, Shien. She worriedly looked at her daughter. She really owe this daughter of her's too much... When Sona was a still a kid, she couldn't buy her fancy clothings, when Sona took interest in martial arts, she couldn't bring herself to waste money on cultivation books... And even now, her daughter is already 17 but she is yet to be married.

Shien was about to say something, but seeing Sona is not paying attention, she just sighed and left.

Sona blankly looked at the space.

She greatly regret leaving them.... But, who started the fire? Is it an insider?

Sona's eyes flashed with killing intent.

She must at least exact revenge for the Madam.... Shall she report this to the minister?

****

I was walking towards Sona's house, which is just a street away.

After walking for almost an hour I could finally see the residence with a big wooden placate, writen "Wu Residence".

I stood in front of it for a second before a steward came to me.

"Does Young noble have any business inside the Wu Manor?" The steward politely asked.

"Oh, I heard a woman named Wu Sona lives here?"

"Yes, she is the 3rd lady of this house, do you want me to call the 3rd lady?"

"Then, I'll have to bother you."

The steward lead me inside the Wu Residence.

I sat in the waiting room for about 5 minutes before I heard a series of hurried footsteps, Sona's mother came in, behind her is Sona.

--

"Young Noble, this one apologize, if I this one made you wait." Shien immediately respectfully said. She once again curtsied and left.

Sona looked at the young noble. He have a long lustrous, blood red hair, tied in a pony tail, smooth jade like face, small slanted eyes, paired with thin butterfly-like eyelids, and thick brows, he have a tall but thin structure, his body emits a noble aura. Anyone who saw him will immediately think that he is a noble.

Sona furrowed her brows. She doesn't know this young man, although he have good looks. Sona doesn't have a good impression towards him, as almost all of the young masters she met are all lecherous perverts or seeking out information.

Sona curtisied at the young noble and asked:

"Young noble, this one is called Wu Sona, may I know what is the Young Noble's business with this one?"

Their Wu residence, is still a commoner residence, although they have several humble shops, they still can't afford to buy a title for their house. And every single person on their family thinks that it is just a waste of money to buy a title. So she still have to be respecful towards this unknown Young Master.

The steward, Shien, and Sona, labeled The young man as a Noble by themselves and didn't ask his origins. Nobles usually flaunts their background so there was no need to ask. But this time it was different.

The young man looked at Sona, seizing her up, and then he clapped his hands.

The young noble handed a paper to Sona.

"This...?" Sona looked at the Young Noble with puzzled face.

"Read that, and think about it carefully." The young noble then stood, quickly leaving the room; not waiting for Sona to reply.

Sona looked at the disappearing figure of the Young Noble. She slowly opened the paper, inside, there was a letter.

That would later change Sona's whole life.
