Granny Yu was a companion maid, even though her talent to cultivate was sub-par at best,

she was an excellent maid,

for over 150 years, she had been a maid, serving the eldest daughter of the royal house of Xing from the Zhong dynasty far north

there weren't any complaints from anybody in all the years she had worked as a maid

Granny Yu considered herself faithful, accomplished, and a veteran at her job

There weren't many situations granny hadn't been in practice. She had been in all of them

Cleaning, cooking, childbirth, infant care, nursing some injured, recovering from an injury she had done them all.

In fact, these were a few of the many reasons she had come so far south with miss Xing because she had experience taking care of children and had the basic knowledge of midwifery among cultivators.

Granny YU was very accomplished and successful in her profession

But today, she felt like a failure She felt helpless.

She had never felt such helplessness; it was a new feeling

Back when she was a child and still learning how to do things,

she had felt helpless sometimes, but a more experienced maid would take over,

and the problem would be solved And after granny Yu matured,

she had never needed help even a new situation came up,

she could handle it

Ever since she found that the mistress was pregnant

Granny Yu was over the moon with happiness;

she felt that the child would help her poor bookworm of a miss who only knew how to take care of

her medicinal field her cauldron and taking pills all the time

Ever since miss had walked on this path of cultivation,

all she did was cultivate meditate and pill refinement

When Granny Yu found that miss carried not one but three children,

she felt even more gratifying hoping these children would change her mistress for the better

All the hopes and dreams of granny Yu had been brutally crushed

The children were born

Two boys and one girl

They were named with the surname of their father

The names were given by the mistress herself, making granny Yu feeling giddy

The firstborn was named Liu wang, a boy with the spiritual eyes

The second was called Liu Yun, a girl born with a 5-element spiritual root and the 5-element

heavenly body

The third born was named Liu Yuntao, another boy he was born with the mutated thunder element

root and blue thunder spiritual body

Three children were born three exceptionally talented children

But that is where the happiness of granny Yu ended. Miss was not interested in the children the way

granny Yu hoped

For her first, all she could think was his eyes and would they could mean

For her daughter, all she could think was how she was perfect for inheriting the Xing clan cultivating technique of the 5-element white lotus spiritual art

For her son, she told granny Yu that he would inherit the Liu clan

And when the mysterious message from the royal capital had come, she didn't even stay for a week

She left 3 days after giving birth to the children

Taking with her only the daughter

She left the brothers back in the red star sect

For Liu Yuntao, it wasn't so bad

he was celebrated and cherished by not just the Liu clan but the entire red star sect

She even heard that he was being accepted as a true disciple by some nascent divinity realm ancestor

But for Liu Wang, it was an entirely different story

When Liu wang came into this world, he came in quietly sleeping

Even when he woke up, the child didn't cry

Granny Yu had broken into a cold sweat with a chill down her spine

Even After the baby drew out the amniotic fluids, the babe still kept on sleeping without any movement, any expression changes, or even a sound

Like a stillborn

Granny Yu had scooped up the babe and went into a corner, hoping to hide the corpse from the mistress.

Even though she knew it was useless, a dozen divine senses were monitoring the place of the birth.

As granny Yu touched the babe, she felt a perfectly normal heartbeat

With that, she breathed a sigh of relief

And then the babe opens his eyes

His golden piercing eyes

That scared granny Yu so much that she felt nothing cold all over a body

Like many others, she thought that some all being had taken over the young child's body.

How wrong she had been

Granny regretted creating the panic that day

After all those tests and speculations, it was nothing but that a newborn soul was blessed by the heaven.

A blessing had turned into a curse for the child.

The day child had been born granny Yu and brought her thoughts attention to master Xu, the mistress's younger brother.

He had thanked her and told her how great of a maid she was

She had felt so happy

But today, standing in the corner of the courtyard, she nothing but guilt and regret.

In the middle of the courtyard sat a 2-year-old child staring at the sky and doing nothing

Granny Yu felt great heartache watching the child.

The day When she took the child in her embrace from master meng

the child didn't cry or make a fuss; he just stayed quiet

Over the months, granny Yu noticed more of the odd behavior

The child would not move, cry, or make a fuss. The only time she heard anything from him was when he soiled himself

he would make noises to grab the nearby servant attention, who would change him

If you fed him, he would feed, but he would never cry or even make a sound if he was hungry

The child was skinny and frail

it took a lot of effort from granny Yu to make the child gain some weight and strength

In a month time, he became healthy and strong enough to crawl

Granny Yu had emptied her saving to buy pill panaceas and spiritual objects that would improve the physique of the child

Even though the child could crawl, he never went anywhere never moved around like the children his age should do

The babe was beautiful, but he never smiled. He never even open his mouth

He would just sit for hours altogether staring at nothing in particular

A year and had passed since master meng handed the child to her

The child could now walk, and she had brought him to the courtyard so that the child could walk

And enjoy the outdoors a bit and breath some fresh air

The child did start to walk, but he just went to the middle of the courtyard and just sat down

It had been 3 hours, and all he did was stare at the sky

Granny Yu felt great pain her heart

There was a lump forming in her throat

Yesterday she had master Liu ren take a look at his spirit, and master ren had said that he had not found anything wrong physically or spiritually.

"Still, there is a chance that he could have hurt mentally and turned into an idiot" he had said.

Granny Yu had been shocked by the news.

As she looked at the poor child, she broke down in sobs

He was supposed to be a great hero who would have shocked the world,

but instead, he turned into an idiot

And all because of her because she felt afraid

AS granny Yu stood there crying

The child named Liu wang sat there staring at the sky

If anyone had come near him

They would notice him mumbling something to himself

If they would have come closer,

they would see clear crystal tears falling silently from his eyes
