Deported

As I previously perceived, my big sister finally made her move.

I was currently still playing with my sister lan, happily tickling her while she is chuckling, amusedly telling me to stop.

However, we got disturbed by a knock on the door, the nanny hearing the loud banging, horrified to open it.

Shortly after, three guards with fierce looks on their faces entered the room; the one in front circulated his eyes around the room. Before telling the nanny, "there's an order from above to bring that kid to the inner court."

(A/N: just for records, the inner court is where the official family, core disciples, and important elders reside)

The nanny perplexedly looked back at us, wondering what she should do; after all, my mother instructed to notify her about anything happening in my sister's playground.

Fearfully she uttered, "I need to inform my lady before letting you take him."

Hearing her, the guard snorted, obviously not paying her any heed; after all, what a concubine's orders amount to anyway? If you want your opinion to matter at this mighty chew the weak world, you should have either strength or status.

Laws and morals don't exist; nobody will come to look for you if you're strong enough; even enormous wealth won't save you at the void;

Well, to be honest, it's very scarce even to keep your fortune if you didn't possess the strength to protect it; when push comes to shove, you will find someone knocking at your door demanding what belongs to you in a smiley face. Or should I say what belongs to him?

To summarize it, unlike the presumption of innocence, "guilty till proven innocent," in this realm, it, "Not your's till proven otherwise."

'Indeed, an open buffet for the strong to feast'

Going back, I heard the big guard point at me, authorizing the two lower-status lackeys to come snatch me.

The blue robbed men went straight to our bed, pushing aside the nanny; as they grabbed me like a little stray cat.

Lifting me in the air, my sister hugged my foot so tight; she got raised with me in the way; her icy aura filled the room, but as a little girl, she had no might to change anything for now.

Thus, the short guard pulled her from my foot and put her back on the bed before strolling outside of the room.

They took me back to the familiar room; I visited a couple of days ago.

In the way, I glanced at the Palace structure, the wooden roofs stretched beyond the walls, embedded with dragons and water deities to take shelter from fires and bring good fortune. On the inside, I saw more ancient wood with bright murals hanging on each side, with mesmerizing ink illustrations, birthing people's souls anew.

Handing me to the head maid with a red sword tattooed on her forehead, they left as we entered the sumptuous room.

The first thing I noticed was two figures.

One was sitting in a lotus position, while the other laid on the bed.

Still, after sensing our arrival, they both shifted their gazes toward us.

The gaze coming from the bed was familiar, as it belongs to Nan; however, I felt like the other held feint hostility and resentment.

Focusing on the cultivator squatting on the corner, I finally was able to recognize her identity, 'Oh, this girl was also at the party that night, her name was Mo Nung was it?"

Sunk in my thoughts, I overlooked the coming Nan, stepping closer, as she snatched me from the maid's arms, waving her hands for her to leave.

"Well, look who's here," I heard her say, then brought me to the bed, chuckling on the way.

Another stern voice resounded, "Nan, Are you out of your mind? Why would you go through all these troubles just to bring a lowly bastard kid?"

Turning her neck towards Nung, I felt heat coming from Nan's body, while anger erupted in every inch of her body, "His name is Chou, not a lowly bastard."

Baffled by her sister's answer, Nung stood up and said, "What so special about him?"

A furious reply came instantly, "You don't need to know,"

Adding, "Would you like to go out? I have some business with my little brother over here."

Nung frowned, declaring, "I'm not leaving." after crossed her arms standing still.

Sighting, Nan ignored her and talked to me, "How have you been this past week?"

Remembering the system bars, I knew she was overly interested in me; trying not to trigger any ominous whiffs, and while still in her embrace, I replied, "Good, I was trying to learn some alchemy,"

"Oh! You are working hard at such a young age, as expected of my little brother," she calmly praised.

However, the look she's trying to hide didn't escape my sharp sight, her horrified hands exposed how she really felt, already wandering my hair and body.

Leaning me down the bed, she whispered in my ears, "It's not time to speak now; I will make it out for you later,"

The bold hands didn't stop its movement, exploring the areas that didn't yet been felt previously. Hence, warming up her body and further relaxing her emotions as she closed her eyes.

I, too, felt prudent and relaxed from the rosey smell emitting from her, but I didn't sleep.

Shortly after, low snorting whistled beside me, under Nung's outraged eyes.

"Hm?" Nung exclaimed looking at us.

Question after question popped into Nung's head, as words failed to take flight from her mouth.

And in around two hours since Nan blissfully slept, curiosity got the best out of Nung, leading her straight to the bed.

Slowly, crawling, she reached my entangled body, poking my cheeks; I was still awake, so I could still feel everything she's doing.

She naively inspected my face with her hand, trying to discern anything unusual, yet, she couldn't notice anything worth mentioning.

"Weird," she mumbled.
