unexpected encounter

person turned his head "humph, as you wish you majesty, "Royce aren't you going to show yourself we came all this way just to search for you " he stood up facing the opposite side of where Naya has departed " wasn't the punch enough for you Cecil?" Royce said with a mocking voice his jeweled amethyst eyes shining "mmm well it is indeed strong, even though you watched your big brother get hit by a girl you did nothing, it really breaks my fragile heart" making a pitiful face.

Royce rolled his eyes at his big brother's playful behaviors how could an emperor have this kind of attitude? even he, is wandering sometimes, gazing at Cecil to analyze him he has to say that even though his brother appears to be an easy-going person even in the court but when it came to the matters of the royal family and the ruling he is quietly capable like now in an instant Cecil's behavior changed "Elijah, are the preparations for the imperial competition ready?".

Elijah begins to hesitate whether to tell him or not "actually the …." squinting his eyes a little "what's the matter "actually it's like that since the imperial competition is but a facade to select experts for the royal family, my spies have reported to me that the sects and the schools are already at odds with each other, some reported that some sects invited a few poison masters in hidden as a final card we are afraid that they may use some underhanded methods to poison the adversary participants also it seemed that some of the council members are having some connection with Feng clan which may justify their suspicious conduct to which it may spoil our plans, your majesty"

after a silence

" using poison What a boring idea, if they can't touch the head then why not cripple the legs," Cecil said in a disdainful tone "what a waste of resources they won't let us even snatch some talents, if that's so then why not change the rules ?" Elijah widened his eyes "your majesty what are you saying?�� changing the rules of the imperial competition never happened, think about your ancestors face your majesty!!! "write this edict,"

the imperial competition is going to be a friendly competition between the two schools of magic and the three sects they will form groups, each group has to include at least three members from the different institutions like that they will make sure to work together if any member is excluded from the team then the whole team is out of the competition, let's see then if those old foxes are going to do anything as for the council member go tel zephanos to keep watch on them and let him make reports to me everyday "yes, your majesty" Elijah went out without a delay "do you really want this?" Royce asked, "why not, it's going to be fun isn't it, "said Cecil in a playful manner "by the way you did see the feisty girl that punched me earlier?" inquiring about Naya "Emmm".

Then can you describe her?" he asked with a tone of eagerness, seeing that Royce has already gone and that he was alone he murmured "oh girl, hitting the emperor and fleeing away, how shameless of you" his pair of violet eyes sparkled with thrill.

he chanted for an unknown time and a white fox appeared, Cecil let out an amethyst token, the token that segar gave Naya "fellow the smell and bring her to me" he held the token near the fox nose the fox kept smelling it as if mesmerized by her scent he saw that the fox was quivering with pleasure and anticipation Cecil raised his eyebrows at this "you like her already"the fox nodded enthusiastically, Cecil advanced to the fox and said with a cold voice "don't forget she hit your master bring her to me then you can play with her" the fox as if been awakened from an illusion ran immediately in search of Naya.

Entering the city

"come on MAO-MAO keep moving" a peasant was hitting an old ox to move forward he is already late for the shipment date his carriage carried stalks of straw and cabbages in the middle of the dense hay a girl sitting in a lotus position.

Naya was already in the practice mode "Xiyue guard me "

she closed her eyes taking out the jade that she had stolen from Alice, she begins absorbing its energy as Xiyue tough her after that she begins thinking about the phrase "you shall accept yourself".

"forgiving myself for what I didn't know is the first step, I face the disagreements and criticism from the outside world and I approve of it, I accept myself no matter what I need to do, to accomplish and no matter what my goals and dreams are this is me, I am going through the day by my effort my appearance my size, my willpower, and my soul so yes I approve of myself" while she was accepting herself a glow of energy surrounded her it held tiny sparks of red and purple they were entering her body at a rapid speed she is feeling that her meridians are being filled with the energy.

the sparks are floating in the air the wind is passing by like a soft melody that keeps the mind clear and the soul tranquil it was fresh she was on the outskirts, carriages passed by her they carried people, other shipment carriages that carried other vegetable wines and other stuff people were passing by chatting, laughing some were even reciting poems, how peaceful.

after hours she opened her eyes "Xiyue what is the name of this cultivation method?" seeing that it was until now where she asked about its name made him helpless she really has a different set of priorities " it's called the Lustrous book of the Primordial" arranging her robe that was loose she really didn't know how to fold this large dress it's annoying "who wrote it?"

"all that I will tell you is that he was powerful" "could he shatter mountain and split the seas?" she asked with hope "girl this is nothing when you reach the tenth level you can do what you say the cultivation method has twelve levels when you comprehend a level and cultivate enough you will have to go through tribulations though "she leaned on the straw slowly while listening to him eagerly "what's that" she inquired "well, in general, they are the heavens trying to prevent your ascension to the next level sometimes it comes in the form of frosty wind that could shatter your body or meteors from the sky that can destroy lands even heavenly lightning" passing by a rice field "Horayyy" a farmer shouted happily he found a big carrot, she turned to him while widening her eyes at this news "Are you saying that I have to get stocked by lightning to pass through levels?".

"yes," he said that with an indifferent voice while having a conversation about this earth-shattering fact, the peasant shouted" miss this is the capital "she turned her head and there it is in the long horizon majestic walls stood as high as mountains she saw that they were black decorated in gold "what a prestige! " she murmured
