Each of her plans were scarily successful whether it was the matters of the Northern Warlord Sect, Slate City, the flood and the attack on the Blood Sect bases.

Knowing the future and information about many events and organisations made her feel like the lives and fates of many people were dancing around in the palm of her hands.

However she was aware that the more she interfered and made her own moves, those she believed to be within her grasp would begin to move differently and possibly escape her predictions.

With no response from the teams sent out, the Blood Sect would send out others to check the bases.

Those sent would either die by the poisons released or escape to inform the sect of what they had witnessed.

Once the sect finally have someone to give them an answer to the progress of the missions, the sect leader and heir will be enraged resulting in many unpredictable movements.

While she hoped that the sect heir would behave like he did in her previous life resulting in many deaths within the Blood Sect, she also knew that the current sect leader was still by his side guiding him.

She had not met the previous sect leader but she had heard that he was an intelligent man who had complete control of the sect until the day that his student took over from him.

However the sect heir was always a cruel individual who wished to be seated at the absolute top, after taking his masters seat and still receiving council from behind by him, it was believed that he grew tired of being a puppet leader and betrayed his master.

Since the previous sect leader had gone into the shadows and was using him to manipulate the sect behind the scenes, the sect heir or next leader could not accept such a fake position still being under his masters control.

Since his master had gone into seclusion or retirement, many did not get to visit him so it was easy for the student who was being used by his master to gain the chance to kill him without having to deal with the public fallout from his actions.

Later it was announced that the old leader had encountered a qi deviation or had died of illness, old age or from an old injury but the people who knew of the sect heirs true nature would be able to know the truth.

As someone who spent many years by his side, Ki knew fully well what he was capable of but since it was not yet time for him to grab the power from the old man's hands, things could go differently to how she predicted.

Even if a cleansing or conflicts with another sect does not take place, the damage she had done to them was already something that could push back some of their plans to a later date until they can replace those that had been lost.

Even if they do not act, a seed of doubt had been planted within the sect that would either slowly consume them after witnessing many others strange or suspicious movements.

A sect like that may be well controlled but each sect member has their own secrets or hobbies that they keep to themselves, their small movements to hide that may be taken as an act of betrayal in times of suspicion.

Ki went back to her daily routine but with a small change this time.

As she entered her music room, a wooden three stringed instrument with a bow string was placed there but instead of her regular teacher from the north, a beautiful woman was sat calmly as she examined the person in front of her.

In her eyes, Ki was an unusual young lady which did not fit in with the social norms of the Central Lands which showed that her upbringing must have been unique and less restrictive.

Even she had to struggle against the normalcy of the world and others views just so that she was not married off by the elders within the family during her youth.

She had to show her talents and work to prove herself but also live under strict rules and education of the family just to escape that life and inherit the head of the household position but in the end she was still trapped in a sham of a marriage.

An old family have their own strict values that constantly get in the way of many things and helped to shape herself which was so carefully maintained to appear as a gentle and refined scholarly beauty but she could appreciate Ki who also came from an old family and could grow up in a more free environment.

However what impressed her the most was Ki's overall aura, it was one of someone who had experienced many things and was carefully hiding themselves but she was much more sensitive to qi and the true essence of some things the closer she was to the Mystic Realm and mastered her Sound Arts so she could sense something else behind the human like mask Ki put on.

Ki stepped forward calmly and greeted displaying her proper etiquette. "I am Ki Bombyx, the current heir of an old merchant family with a very long background much like your own family. As you can imagine, I did not just arrange for you to casually teach me music but to also help me grasp some things I need to learn. I figured that you would recognise me the moment I spoke so there was no need to keep up appearances. I still hope to achieve the same thing as I have said before but also help you achieve the same for your family."
