"Concubine Lin and miss Yang Qiou Xi I hope you can mind your words because if anything happens to Young Madam Li I don't know how both of you answer our Master" although the old maid's words were still gentle and polite, however, anyone could hear the stern warning in her words.
Lin Yu Lan's face turned from white to red It had been a long time since anyone dares reprimand her since she became Governor Yang's concubine, feel humiliated Lin Yu Lan glared at the old maid and shouted, "You are just a servant, how dare you speak to me like that, Xi Ying how do you teach your own maid? she's so rude!" Lin Yu Lan suddenly shifts her anger to Yang Xi Ying.
Yang Xi Ying who was already in a bad mood became even angrier, "That old servant is brother Li former wet nursed, she was the one who raises Bhim after his parents die, she's like a family for brother Li, it was you who supposed to mind your behavior?" she scoffed at Lin Yu Lan.
Lin Yu Lan was dumbfounded, she looked at the old servant in shock, who would have thought that the old lady had such a high position in the Jiu Yun sect. the old maid sneered when she saw Lin Yu Lan cover her mouth after knowing her identity, the old maid then turned her gaze to Yang Xi Ying and nodded courteously, Yang Xi Ying responded with a gentle nod as well.
"I…I didn't mean…" Lan Yu Lan was still trying to defend herself although it was futile.
Yang Xi Ying waved her hand dismissively she had no patience to hear Lin Yu Lan excused, Yang Xi Ying narrowed her eyes and coldly said "You better stay quiet concubine Lin less you will make things worst" Yang Xi Ying quipped as she accepts the tea that the maidservants handed to her politely.
Embarrassed but can't refute Yang Xi Ying words Lin Yu Lan twist the handkerchief in her hands feeling angry and indignant, while Yang Qiou Xi was also feeling embarrassed, she felt Yang Xi Ying deliberately humiliated them because their position lower than her, just because her Mother is concubine and Yang Xi Ying Mother legitimate wife she must accept this humiliation, No, she refused to live under Yang Xi Ying shadow, if only she could find a better husband than Yang Xi Ying then she wouldn't have to lower her head in front of Yang Xi Ying ever again.
Yang Xi Ying slowly took a sip of her tea then he handed the teacup to the maid next to him after she was done, she took a deep breath to calm herself then she gave Lin Yu Lan and Yang Qiou Xi a look of contempt and say "Listen to me well because I will only say it once"
Yang "For the sake of the Yang family and yourself, I will give you one last warning because for the best or the worst I can't deny that you two are my family, so I will tell you that whatever stupid plan you have in your head, Whatever it is. imagination or wild thoughts that you build up in your head, I want you to ignore them, erase them from your mind and heart" Yang Xi Ying said firmly.
"I will tell you two, honestly without exaggeration because God is my witness when I say it to you that Long Ming will never accept you as his concubine, nor he will never accept you as his servant, the truth is he won't even let you touch his shadow, you know why? Because he hates all arrogant women who dare to belittle his feelings for his wife."
Yang Xi Ying saw shocked in Yang Qiou Xi and Lin Yu Lan faces and continues "I have seen women, prettier than you, graceful than you, smarter than you, they have excellent backgrounds and extraordinary talents, but all those women have never been able to shake Long Ming's heart. without burial when they forced themselves on him, the luckiest among them was Ming Ru Yi who was just a vegetable, so you should know what kind of fate awaits you if you dare to force yourself on him"
Yang Qiou Xi squeezed her hand, she lowered her head trying to contain her anger, despite everything Yang Xi Ying had told her Yang Qiou Xi still believed that Yang Xi Ying didn't want to help her not just because Yang Xi Ying didn't like her, but Yang Xi Ying also didn't want to risk her friendship with Long Ming's wife, well, Yang Qiou Xi was right but that didn't mean Yang Xi Ying's words weren't true, actually, she was very worried that Yang Qiou Xi would bring havoc to the Yang family.
Just because Zhao Li Xin is a little softer these days but that doesn't mean she's changed her true nature, a beast is a beast no matter how tame it may seem, once provoked, it will bear its fangs and rip your neck mercilessly, such is a beast and so as well as Zhao Li Xin. Yang Xi Ying hoped that Lin Yu Lan and Yang Qiou Xi would believe her words for once even though she wouldn't count on them.

[What are you thinking, Lory?]
[Why do you always ask what I think? did it never cross your mind that I might not think of anything?]
[Yes… and that's what I'm afraid of because you're more unpredictable when you don't think about anything]
the corners of Lory's lips quirked up [I think you worry too much about old birdies...] she joked at him.
Girsha shrugged [After a while it became a habit, you know...] Girsha looked ahead and pondered since when he became such a nag.
Lory chuckled softly, she didn't hate Girsha's nagging sometimes it was even comforting. Lory sat on the yellow grass, she rested her chin on her knees lazily while looking at the volcano in the distance. Once again she returned to the mystical realm, Zhao Li Xin became a bit paranoid lately.
Lory didn't want to worry him when he already got a lot on his plate so Lory obediently follows him inside the ring, after all, it's not like she hates this place.
[You are quite obedient to your man, aren't you, girl] Girsha suddenly said.
[What do you mean, I've always been an obedient child] Lory said unabashedly.
Girsha laughed [Yeah right....wait, your joke right?]
[Ha – ha…] Lory laughed sarcastically.
Girsha stare at Lory with a disbelieving expression [What, did you forget how many times you sneaked out of cestine palace with Lucas and the others, did you forget you ever infiltrated
the ancient underground mine to find a sacred spell, there also a situation you enter the dangerous dark forest to hunt the Minotaur just to get its horns so you can make weapons for Clift's birthday...oh, and if you forgot....]
Lory waved her hand feeling defeated [I get it - I get it, I'm a wild kid, okay!]
[Well, that's an understatement...] Girsha sarcastically said.
[Shut up, old birdie!] Lory grumbled.
[No, to be honest… you changed quite a lot, did you notice? everyone who knows you now might think you are reckless now but compared to you in the past you are quite docile right now, at least you didn't deliberately search for trouble as much as you use to… I wonder what has changed?]
Lory crosses her arms in front of her chest and mutter [What changed?…] Lory sighed then laid his back on the grass [Maybe… I understand that I'm not the same person anymore] Lory quietly said, then she raised her hands in the air, sunlight peeking between her fingers, Lory stares at her smooth hands she realizes her hand didn't have much callous as it used to be showing she didn't fight as much as the past, Lory didn't know if that good or bad thing.
[ I'm not a person the same as before, the curse on my body, the Trinity scepter has disappeared and my powers...] Lory clenched her palm and sighed [I'm not as strong I used to be... so it's stupid of me if I acted like in the past]
Girsha is silent for a moment the says: [You still Lorient for me…]
[Yeah….] Lory smile wryly [It's weird that I feel the same, I look the same, but after everything that I've been through…. the loss and the pained, everything that I know, the secrets I reveal…how could I do not change? do you think I change a lot, Girsha?]
[You did change…..although I wish you don't have to] Girsha said in low voice.
[It's nobody's fault….it's inevitable for everything that living to change because that's the only way to survive…and I did survive, in a way…]
[You did Lory] Girsha bitterly said knowing she's not survived unscathed.
Suddenly the sky rumbled, Lory immediately stood up from the grass. then a strong wind lifted the dry grass and leaves into the sky. Lory brushed her hair away from her face and she looked into the distance with a content smile "Breakthrough..." Lory muttered.
From within the volcano, suddenly a figure pierces into the sky like a bullet, he soared through the sky followed by golden flames. Even from a distance, Lory could feel the heat the wind carried against her skin, but she remained calm as she walked to the edge of the cliff then calmly jumped down, purple circles with runes floating in the air then Lory bouncing between the circles until she reaches the end of the cliff.
Lory land smoothly on the white sands, she walks calmly while her eyes are fixed on Zhao Li Xin figures that engulf with a golden flame.
[He became stronger than I thought] Girsha's comment while flew beside Lory, his round green eyes stare at Zhao Li Xin's figure with meaningful gaze [Perhaps one day he will become even stronger than the old you]
Lory didn't look surprised instead she smiles happily [How could that be such a bad thing...] Lory stepped onto the beach casually and when her feet touched the water suddenly it froze with every step she took the water under her feet froze instantly then turn into the water again after she lifts her feet, and when the waves blocked her way Lory raised her hand and the waves also froze, then suddenly shattered into pieces as Lory walked past it, Lory's expression remained the same as for now all her attention was focused on Zhao Li Xin.
