Don't stare too much! or you'll fall for me.

Xiao Rou, who was daydreaming about a prince charming riding in a white horse, saving her from the monster king who abducted her forcefully. Woke up! Looking down at the perpetrator fainting on her legs, she frowned.

Seeing the familiar ordinary face becoming handsome, and seeing something so handsome abruptly, she blushed, the attractive face was sweating heavily, while frowning unconscious.

Scholar Li who's in front of them stood up, and hurriedly grab Ye Shie's hand, sending his qi inwards, to probe, the panic stricken face of Scholar Li turned calm, then he frowned, then he started sweating too, trembling he said "Stay here! I'm going to see you father" with that he walked out.

Murmuring 'D-Divine body?! W-hat?! H-how!? I-I should tell his majesty the emperor'.

Now, the two 10 year old kids, who was intimately seated in the library, the conscious one, Xiao Rou, was at loss on what to do! She touched Ye Shie's forehead feeling his heat while murmuring worriedly "Stupid Ye Shie, whats wrong with you" but upon seeing the handsome face of his and the prince charming on her daydream combined, she blushed again. 'No! I-it isn't like that' while shaking her head in denial.

Xiao City, City Lords Manor, City Lords office.

A black robed elderly man with a middle aged physique entered without knocking.

The City Lord, who was busy shuffling through the files in his tables, skimming and reading on them, Looked up at the uninvited guess.

He stood up, and greeted politely "Scholar Li? What brings you here? How are the kids?"

Scholar Li went in front of the desk and said "City Lord Bai, I demand an Explanation! Shouldn't you tell me, why are keeping Ye Shie in your Manor? Shouldn't you send him to his majesty the emperor to groom! are you out of you mind?!" at first he was calm, but at the last sentence, Scholar Li exploded.

Scholar Li continued "It was his majesty's decree! "That whomsoever found a person with a divine body, he or she shall be groomed in the imperial royal palace!" It's only not for you own good, but for Ye Shie also! The imperial royal palace has boundless resources capable of fueling Ye Shie's cultivation base up to Saint Stage(8) with ease! Don't tell me, you're disobeying his majesty's decree?!" he hollered.

Signalling him to stop, City Lord Bai, offered Scholar Li to take a seat "Scholar Li, calm down, please take a seat"

Then he explained "Scholar Li, You know of Ye Shie's situation right? He's mind is still unstable due to the events about his village, and Scholar Li, You of all people should know how, cold and cruel the Imperial Royal Palace(9) is! Do you think that, sending an innocent heartbroken child over there will make his life better!?" the more the City Lord Spoke, the angrier his voice became.

He looked at Scholar Li eyes and shouted "Tell me Scholar Li! Will his life be better!?"

Scholar Li, after calming down, and hearing City Lord Bai's reasoning, he was perplexed, speechless, not knowing how to answer, 'He's right, Ye Shie's situation is still unstable, plus the Imperial Royal Palace, is not suitable for an innocent kid to live.'

Contemplating for a bit he stood up and bowed to City Lord Bai "Sorry for not thinking this through, I guess this old bones of mine are getting rusty indeed" he sighed and continued "So City Lord Bai will still send him to Imperial Royal Palace then?" City Lord nodded, and said "But not for now, maybe after he's situation becomes stable"

"Got it, forgive me City Lord Bai for causing such ruckus, I'll take my leave now" after bowing again, he left, returning to the library.

City Lord Bai stood up, went to get tea, and took a sip of it.

"Why didn't you tell him the whole reason?" a gentle and pleasant womanly voice rang out.

Hearing that voice, City Lord Bai's face flushed, feigning indifference towards the beautiful woman sitting on the sofa, who was at the corner of the room.

Seeing her husbands reaction, Xiao Mei giggle and teased "Oh my Xiao Bai~, still so strict, but so cute...come here~" patting the place beside her.

And the door to the City Lords office was locked.

On the way out, Scholar Li's thought was 'Oh! I was so excited and passionate that I forgot to calm down.' face palming he continued 'This, so unlikely of me', foot steps of an old man rang out, along with the occasional sigh, in the hallway towards the library.

Back in the library, After touching Ye Shie's forehead, he woke up, seeing the beautiful face in front of him, with those crystal clear eyes, Ye Shie stared blankly.

Xiao Rou, upon seeing him woke up, and staring at those dark and magnetizing eyes also went in daze.

After staring for a while, the silence was broken by

"Hmph, Don't stare too much! or you'll fall for me" after saying that, a resounding slap was heard.
