Soon, the troops escorting the Young Master Chang arrived. The Lackey left the troops and returned home thinking the Governor and his son would settle all. This would have been the last time he would be seen again. The Captain of the Guard dismissed his troops and continued to escort the Young Master to his father’s estate. The home was the largest in the town; although it was single-story, it housed many rooms with luxury surrounding a large garden in the middle of the home where they could comfortably relax. The trees here were small, along with the bushes that the staff tended to every day, and the pond held many types of fish with a wooded bridge going over. The Captain led Chang to the waiting area where his father awaited their arrival.“Why did you disobey me? When I said not to go and provoke that man and woman?” Governor Wang Yu asked with a frown.“Father, he went to wipe the dishonor that befell the family.” Just then, Mingue walked in to smooth over the situation, not know

“Look here, men, we have a smart one.” One of the men with a scarred eye seemed to be the leader, replied.The men only laughed and kept an eye on the couple.“It would seem that you require something; perhaps I could be of service?” Blake asked the men.“Oh, you could say that.” The scarred man said. “You could give all you have, and we will spare your lives. I hoped to do this trade a little further from the town, but given the choice, you know how it is when you are found out.”“I see your dilemma, but to risk all for a petty robbery? Are you not afraid of the guards from town finding out?” Blake asked.“Oh, the guards? There are no guards that will go against our group. Also, this is not only a robbery; we will also take the woman. As you both know, the slave trade is big business, so I’m afraid that your rescue trip will have to be delayed if you value your life.” The scarred man proclaimed.Blake sighed deeply. The boss took this as him giving up, but Blake’s following words mad

“It would seem that your daughter has taken a liking to her maid. It is a shame that there is nothing she can do; it has already been decided since my younger brother has taken a fancy to her and, from here on out, will become the Second Prince’s betrothed. I take it that her position in the Flowing Sword Sct will reflect her status as my brother’s woman.” The First Prince stated, taking a sip of his drink; all the while, his brother stood there, not saying anything.“Yes, my Lord, she will be tended to and given servants to look after her.” The head Master stated with a great smile. “Then it’s settled Prince Xiang Ma will be staying here to also look after his future wife and get better aqainted. Maybe he can break out of his shell with a stronger approach.” The First Prince said, looking at his brother, who still gave an indifferent look.“Apologies, but do I not have a say in this?” A voice rang out coming from behind Hana, it was Camila.“What does a mere servant have to say? Yo

A few days passed, and Blake immersed himself in the arrays and formations to better understand his powers. He could infuse a formation with time, and the item within the formation would rapidly age; another would make it rapidly turn younger until it would disappear into nothingness. Blake was satisfied with these results and tried to create a space formation that could teleport him a few feet from his original position. Sister Song watched him as he would easily pop from one place to the next.“What do you think?” Blake asked one day when he popped beside Sister Song, who was polishing her Spirit Sword.“I think you are trying to give me a heart attack with you popping so close.” Sister Song replied as she was startled by him.“Sorry, but I think I can shorten our trip by a day or two,” Blake said confidently.“How?” Sister Song asked.Blake then explained that he could create a teleportation formation that didn’t need a second formation for the link. All he had to do was visualize

At this accusation, Sister Song stood up, ready with her sword. What was this nonsense? How could she blatantly announce that Brother Blake was to be her husband?‘A simple meal just became complicated.’ Blake thought, preparing another dish for Xuanlu.“Cough, sorry to disappoint, but I already have a wife,” Blake said as he handed her another plate and motioned Sister Song to calm down.“Of course you do. I would not expect anything less of the exceptional man I choose.” Xuanlu said and ate with the same ravenous appetite.“No offense, but we just met, and I don’t know you.” Blake continued to turn her down.“But yet you are kind enough to feed a stranger and bested me with your cooking skills. So whoever beats me is bound to become my husband and the heir of the Chai family of the Southern Provenance. BURP!” Xuanlu said as she placed her small hand over her mouth as the burp escaped. “Pardon.”Blake could only laugh over this situation and shake his head in disbelief.“Okay, how ab
