Chapter 51: The Xu-Wang Bargain
“Drop the hearing?” Wang Zen said. “Can you really do that? Lu Daomengt says it’s practically over for me. I doubt even my family can sway the headmaster.”
“Well, you shouldn’t compare what my family can do with what yours can.” Xu Hau said, sounding slightly bored. “My family is pureblood while yours is bribebloods.”
“Bribeblood,” Wang Zen repeated the unfamiliar word.
“Yes,” she said impatiently. “Now do you want to stay or not?”
Zen opened his mouth and closed it. He was not sure if he wanted to stay. Was this not what he wanted all along? Did he not wish to go home to his friends and comfort? But would it be worth it for him to return because he was expelled for being a pervert?
A smile uncontrollably tugged at the corners of Wang Zen as he thought of his father’s outraged and probably girly reaction at how his son had been expelled for peeking at the girls’ bathhouse. Would he take off his mask, he thought.
“What are you smiling about?” Xu Hau said with an annoyed tone.
“Hmm?” Zen was brought back to reality.
“Well? Do you want to stay or not?”
Zen gulped as he thought on his answer.
“Well?” she tapped her foot.
“I…” Zen began, “I… want to stay.” Zen decided to save face instead of fulfilling his dream of going home.
Xu Hau smiled at this. “Good, but you’ll have to do something for me.”
“What do you want me to do?”
Xu Hau leaned closer to him, narrowing her eyes at him. “At first I didn’t recognise you but today in the headmasters office, I realised who you were. You’re the 3 seconds boy.”

Zen groaned at the name causing Xu Hau to smile.
“I knew it,” she said, snapping her fingers. “You and your little band of misfits have been bothering my friend Chen Jian.”
“If your friend has so many people bothering him then maybe he is the one bothering them.” Zen said, feeling a flare of mutiny and anger rising in him at the mention of Chen Jian.
“Don’t talk badly about my friend,” she said. “Now, I want you and your friends to stop what you’re doing.”
“I don’t control them.”
“Yes? Of course you don’t. The fat one, your all his puppets.”
“I’m no ones puppet,” Zen said.
“Could’ve fooled me,” she said. “I mean, he tells you to challenge Jian Chen and you do it. He tells you to to spy on Jian Chen and you do it. He tells you to jump and you eagerly say, ‘how high?’”
“I am not his puppet!”
Xu Hau’s face twisted in anger at his tone. “Your right, your not his puppet because from now on, your mine. If you want to stay, you will spy on your friends and report what they do to me.”
“What? But… I can’t do that.”
“Then you’ll go home as a disgrace.”
Zen shut his eyes and looked away, a moment later he raised his hand, too ashamed at what he was doing to look at her.
“What is this?” Xu Hau looked at his raised fist. “Are you threatening me?”
Zen looked at her in confusion. “No. This is how we seal this vow… this bargain, by touching fists.”
“That seems so… uncouth.” She shook her head. “We’ll have a verbal agreement, that will be enough.” She said before walking away.
Zen looked at his fist, feeling as empty as it was alone in the air.

The Foretold: Sun Child (Complete)
As a sixteen year old commoner, your future is bleak. Worse, your appearance sets you apart from others. Your only achievement so far, is befriending the second son of the Lord of the Keep. He has been your only friend for eleven years, initially partner in mischief and later your hunting companion and confidant. Now your friendship is being torn asunder, he has turned eighteen and is being sent away to become a Judge Knight Aspirant. What is to become of you? Before your friend leaves, there is murder and conspiracy! Magic left the land hundreds of years ago, all you have is your bow and hunting skills, nevertheless you must fight to survive and save another to have any hope of a future! Note: The graphic isn't mine; it is a re-imagining of a few separate images, any objections by original artists let me know. N.B. If you are looking for Sexual Content every chapter, or every second, third or fourth chapter this isn't the story for you - the Sexual Content is required for a plot device, not a way of life and the later chapters reflect that - please stop dropping Low Ratings when you feel I haven't met your idea of "fan service". This is finished as much as a multi book vision can be finished. At 750,000 words give or take and very little readership I can only blame myself. I have learnt a lot, possibly forgotten a lot as well! I will probably return to the Chapters at some point - a touch up here and a touch up there. The second book though will probably remain in my head for a very long time, so yes "cliffs" although I hope the characters and their motivations are developed enough that you can have a good guess at the content of Book Two and tell me so I can confirm or deny! This isn't a LITRPG where classes are developed, great foes are defeated by a hero of immense power. This is a story based within (I hope) a very real and consistent culture, that leaves breadcrumbs for the reader to work out what the heck is happening and why. This is a slow burn story as the MC is stumbling around discovering her new place and role. Author's Note (Apr 2021): I dropped the Fantasy Genre for the Mystery Genre, because while the setting mentions magic, is it about past glories and trying to return to them. Whereas the MC from Chapter One doesn't understand her predicament and the range of mysteries she must solve to survive. If I have this wrong PM me and I will change this back.
