《Path of the Lilies》54. The Two Big Families in the Chen Kingdom
Advertisement
“Senior Mu, there are a lot of people over there,” Ye Jiao commented when the two of them have walked for quite some time. The side of the wall near the finish line was extremely crowded with people. Those who hadn’t reached Rank 1 would stay on the wall in fear that they would get attacked.
Mu Xin nodded her head. “They can’t watch from below, so they’re also using this place to watch.”
“Can we get pass them?” Ye Jiao asked worriedly. It would be hard to look from there with numerous people blocking their way. Added with their height as children, it would be close to impossible to see from behind them.
“I can secure a place easily,” Mu Xin shrugged.
“What?”
When they reached near the wall, a soldier approached the two of them. He recognized Mu Xin immediately as their general’s daughter.
“Miss Mu Xin,” the soldier bowed down.
“I want to take a look,” Mu Xin said in an indifferent tone. Her warm expression was replaced back to her cold and aloof face, showing a large contrast to how this girl behaved in front of Ye Jiao.
“I’ll take you there, Miss,” the soldier glanced at Wang Jun and Ye Jiao, unsure if he should bring them along.
“They’re my friends, so they’re coming with me.”
“I understand, Miss.”
As the soldier guided them, Ye Jiao was watching the soldier’s expression. From the way he behaved, it didn’t seem he liked the notion of taking the two of them along with Mu Xin. Well, the two of them didn’t have high status, so it was to be expected that the soldier wouldn’t give them preferential treatment.
The soldier brought them to the post tower. In the city wall, there will be some parts that were rather large. It was usually called as their post and also the place for their leader to lead during war or battle.

This time, the place was used by children of influential families to rest. Because of their parents or other family members, they were allowed to stay there to watch. Compared to the crowded wall, this place only had several children staying. Some of them brought their friends, but there were not many.
“It’s pretty large,” Ye Jiao commented in awe. She didn’t know that they could stay here.
Mu Xin nodded her head. “It’s to be expected that this place is pretty large. This is the post for the generals or other people such as the strategists.”
“I see.”
Walking to the wall, Ye Jiao looked to the ground. Her eyes were astonished when she saw the height. The wall in Wei Family residence could never be compared with the mighty height of this wall. It was simply too awesome.
The people outside looked extremely small from this position. Ye Jiao admired the people around her then turned her head to the side. She could see a young boy leaning on the wall leisurely. His relaxed attitude was in contrast to the excited children around him, but no one dared to get close to the young boy.
“Senior Mu, do you know who that is?” Ye Jiao pointed using her chin.
Mu Xin furrowed her brows. “It’s Lu Wan.”
“Lu Wan?” Ye Jiao tilted her head. From the corner of her eyes, she secretly watched that green haired boy with curiosity.
“Haven’t you heard about him?” Mu Xin smiled wryly. “Just recently, he came out of his training hall as Eon Energy Master Rank 1.”
Eon Energy Master Rank 1?
Ye Jiao was astonished. From the figure the boy had, she guessed that he should be around 11 to 12 years old. Most children that age have just formed their core, but this Lu Wan has reached rank 1?

“You know that Lu Family is the second largest family in this kingdom, right?”
“Yes.”
Chen Kingdom was formed with two factions supporting it. One of them was Wei Family, which was the holder of the military of this kingdom. The other one was Lu Family, who was known for their strict rules and extreme understanding of politics and law. Above the two families, only the Imperial family stood higher.
Mu Xin pointed to the boy. “Lu Wan is the second son in Lu Family and also the genius of this generation.”
“Is it not Wei Cheng or Wei Yin?” Ye Jiao recalled that the two of them were pretty good themselves. If they claimed themselves to be the genius, many people would surely agree with them.
“Nope, they’re nearing the word ‘genius,’ but they’re mostly only slightly talented,” Mu Xin shook her head.
“Only slightly talented?” The standard to be called as a genius was really high in this place.
Mu Xin smiled as she watched Ye Jiao’s reaction. “Do you remember their color during the test? Or at least, have you heard about it?”
“It’s blue with slight purple color in Wei Mi,” Ye Jiao replied.
“You’re right,” Mu Xin nodded her head. She pointed her chin to Lu Wan. “On the other hand, this young boy reached purple color back then, making him the one with the highest talent so far.”
Purple color!
It was known that purple was the peak of their talent in this world. Whoever could reach purple color would be destined for greatness because they have the possibility to achieve the highest stage in Eon Energy.
“That’s amazing!” Ye Jiao exclaimed.
Mu Xin nodded her head. “In this kingdom, there are only two people who reach pure purple color in this generation. I mean, among the people around our age.”
“So little!”
“Of course, do you think it’s common to reach purple color?” Mu Xin laughed. If it was that easy to find one with that talent color, the entire world would be filled with geniuses all over the place.
Ye Jiao could sense the longing tone that Mu Xin used when she spoke. It was clear that Mu Xin also hoped that she could have purple color talent because it was the only chance she could reach higher rank.
“Senior Mu,” Ye Jiao tugged the girl’s sleeves. “Don’t worry. I’m sure that you’ll be able to reach a high rank in the future too.”
“Yes,” Mu Xin smiled. Her talent might not be the best among them all, but she would not give up that easily. Her path would be much harder if she wanted to reach the same rank as them all, but it was not like all hope was lost.
Their path has just begun. There will be many things that happened in the future that might change their fate.
Ye Jiao turned her head to the other side and her body stiffened when she saw the four siblings from Wei Family. In total, Wei Family has five children, but so far, she has only met with four of them. Right now, the four of them are staying in this post tower.
Her eyes met with Wei Mi’s eyes, who widened in surprise and disgust.
“You! What is trash like you doing here?”

LIlith's Firstborn
The legend says that the Forbidden Fruit made the first two humans – Adam and Eve – intelligent, but what if it was the other way around? What if the Forbidden Fruit took most of their humility, their intelligence, their kindness, etc. away and turn them into the discriminating, angry, and hateful humans that they are? What if the only way to turn back into their former selves was to lead a good life on Earth to cleanse their souls? The legend also says that Lilith was a demoness who fled from Heaven and was granted mercy when she showed humility and proved that her soul was still worthy of saving despite all her wrongdoings. What if, after centuries of sinning, Lilith finally found her way back to kindness? What if God forgave Lilith for her crimes? What if she gave birth to a baby after she had repented? And what if that baby is the only human soul in existence that isn’t tainted by the Forbidden Fruit or her past sins? Tallitanya of Lilith inherited her mother’s immortality and grew up at a rate much slower than an average human so she had witnessed the rise and fall of empires even though she is physically and mentally 21 years old. She was born on Earth, but she moved to Heaven when she was physically 5 years old and didn’t return until she was 18 years old. She was tasked, by God himself, to guard over the Forbidden Tree which had since been replanted on an isolated island on Earth. She loves that job, and she loves that she was given direct instructions instead of having to figure out what God’s so-called ‘mysterious plans’ for her was. Centuries went by. Tallitanya is 21 years old when the Final Judgement is nigh. As an immortal who has yet to have a real affiliation with Heaven or Hell, Tallitanya has received a personal invitation from the Antichrist who wishes to recruit Tallitanya. Heaven also sends its angel – Michael – to inform Tallitanya that as a human, her soul would also be judged by God. She was ordered to leave her post as the Forbidden Tree’s guardian so that she could get to know the other humans before she makes an actual decision about who she wants to align herself with. The second she steps out of the island, it disappears. Turns out, her message from God was faked, and so was her mission. The devil had tricked her, and as the guardian of the Forbidden Tree, she must recover the tree and the island, or humanity will perish within the year.
