that is standing in front of them, the previously warm and gentle leader disappeared Allen got worked up at the unexpected turn of events "OH-oh leader got angry what an expected phenomenon" he was going to sit next to him to take the first batch of the grilled meat, to warm the atmosphere he asked "so can I call you little blue" naming her little blue due to her jeweled blue eyes, anticipation filled his face.
after a while "Emmm" she responded "then little blue where are you heading ?" snatching the first grilled meat from Nathan happily and jumping straight to the branch of the tree above them watching this monkey-like person made her bite her lips thinking if telling them is a wise choice or not "girl you need to gather information about your school, stop been paranoid" Xiyue scolded "I am heading to the capital" not mentioning the school it's already out of her character revealing her plans.
" oh" "miss if you are going to the school of magic's examination then you already know that it's a week from now" she looked at Nathan with a bit of curiosity in her eyes "how is the exam held?" she asked, the group at that moment looked at her strangely then Nathan composed himself "Ahem, well first for magic users they will check about which phase you belong you know for magic users energy is divided into eight phases according to the eight phases of the moon the first is the phase of the surge it's for the people who can conjure fire and lightening, the phase of the sea people here use water and ice, phase of land there are earth and metal, phase of the sky its wind and wood, phase of mind it's for people who have special abilities they use their psychic and aura, phase of arcane it's where they use poison and sound those people can develop their power to cast illusions.
seeing that he kept quiet after that she asked "what about the other two?"
Allen answered, "well you see the last two phases are just for decoration because there was never a person who could manipulate those elements they are rare if not impossible to control they are the phases of heaven they use light and crystals, and the phase of spirit its the use of shadow and phantom."
"It was rumored that the previous head of the Feng clan was in the heaven phase"Alice intervened and sat beside evered with a shy look "they are just rumors besides it's the Feng's clan hobby to spread those false facts, it really irritates me they are just a bunch of old foxes that keep bringing trouble to all who oppose them the fall of the Xia clan is their doing, let's not mention the high taxes they charge from the unproductive villages, everyone from the clan is a devil incarnate except their gentle second young miss her unmatched beauty that could melt the bachelor's hearts and her pure soul and compassion that matches Guanyin ( TL: a bodhisattva related to compassion)
she is the flower that blooms once in a blue moon" Allen kept dreaming about the miss of the Feng clan "humph what are you talking about Allen there's nothing to see obviously another rumor since you said that that's their way of dealing I'm sure she is just a hideous bumpkin who is afraid of showing her face she doesn't show up outside nor does she attends official banquets" " but sister maybe she is sick we can't say these things about her I'm sure that she is a good person" "Alice stop being naive! this venomous snake wants to attract the third prince's attention, playing the hard to get is a common strategy now".
Isabel came closer to the fire and stretched her hands to it to keep them warm and continued"I've heard that she is madly in love with the third prince to the point where she tortured the palace maids to know his whereabouts "the youths looked at her in astonishment while evered kept gazing at the fire seeing that the conversation diverted from her supposed direction Naya asked, "Is this all for the exam?"
Nathan refocused at her " well after selecting the phases you have to choose your branch of study either magic, archery, swordsmanship, apothecary, and healing those two-divisions are associated together as for cultivator it's different, they check what type of spiritual root you have and do a test I don't know their test procedures due to its scarcity but then you will be under a special tutor that will teach you because cultivation is rare and there is also dou-qi division after choosing the division that suits you (magic-douQi-cultivation) and after meeting their requirements, there will be held a test in theory and practice if you succeed you can enroll," there is a lot of things to do and studying is one of them " she thought to herself.
"take, you need to eat "Nathan handed her five brochettes of meat "woahh, you gave her more than you gave me" Allan retorted she took the meat and started eating "didn't your parent taught you manners?" Isabel shouted angrily Nathan looked at her with cold eyes, looking at his cold eyes made her freak out she stood up and begins shouting "why are you so bias toward this fat girl she didn't even say thank you, we took her, gave her food, let her camp with us and this is how she thanks us?" Naya had enough of this stupid pig almost positioning herself to make a move a silver flash passed near her, dashing to Isabel, Naya stood dazed "to noisy" turning to the source of the voice she finally heard Evered voice he was going to sleep, Isabel was sent flying, everybody stood still.
silence filled the air "brother Evered you didn't have to hit her" Alice with her pitiful eyes trying to make evered another victim of her purity "another word and it's going to be your turn" his cold voice lingered in the air Alice stood petrified, she quickly ran after Isabel to check her.
Naya stared at him with a faint smile on her lips they prepared to sleep, everyone got in his corner ready to sleep after Evered's display of power but to everyone's notice when Alice ran toward Isabel Naya saw a shining object fall from her bosom seeing that nobody noticed it, she waited for everybody to put their guards down to take it.
late in the night, the moon stood high in the middle of the dark sky a fatty figure moving past the trees in a stealthily way "Xiyue can you sense the surroundings?"," what do you want to find?" "the tunnel that leads to the national route " while avoiding the sharp rocks she still didn't have shoes, after waiting for a time "go straight to the hill up there, you will find a cliff you jump down then you will see" biting her lips not believing that it's going to be another cliff she kept running while in the camp a pair of mauve eyes were staring at the direction she headed to.
"huphhhh" letting out a long exhalation she keeps forgetting this body's stamina is a disaster resting on a flat rock she was already near the hill " girl you need to lose weight with this fat you would be killed in an instant".
wanting to change the subject "why did you want to take the jade pendant?" it was Xiyue who told her to take the jade in haste "little girl this jade is one of the objects that you should collect for me" "if energy is flowing in everything then why not just absorb a tree essence or cultivate under a waterfall?" "The essence of a tree and those things is not the type of energy that suits me"
"the jade that you have has a special accumulated Qi apparently it's from a high-tier beast core, this is the least that I can absorb in this lowly like energy" she hides the pendent in her robe and resumed the journey, she kept thinking about the book's phrases "you shall accept yourself and remember You shall not eat more than you need and make sure everyone has their fair share."
The first phrase is understood about the part of accepting herself but the second is making her flustered eat what? And what everyone's shares? She knows already that this isn't about food but It's vague, time passed she is at the top of the hill "I will die if I jump" her long hair flowing behind her the silver layers of the moonlight illuminating her silhouette and made her jeweled pale blue eyes shine more then any gem in the world.
the golden robe that segar gave her made her look refined even though, her disfigured face looked horrible in that instant she appeared as an immortal who doesn't care about the worldly affairs from afar she looked lonely and sacred, looking down at the dark abyss made her remember the first time she came to this world she touched her face gently sensing the disfigured skin "you are going to pay for this" she purred with a cold voice.
"now jump " he commanded at first she was unwilling how could she jump at such a high without dying? a warm aura spread inside her it made her calm and feel secure "I will catch you "he reassured in a soothing voice clenching her fist she closed her eyes and jumped she herself didn't understand how did she trust him.
in that instant falling at a high speed made her a little scared, seeing that there is no sign of slowing down she begin to swing herself in the air to get near the wall she was trying to catch it with her hands "hold
