Do you know the feeling of falling rapidly from a high cliff?

The wind blew so hard around you that you won't be able to hear anything except from the roaring wind... and as it is such a high cliff...it seemed like you were falling forever...

And the pain of having your cultivation and your hardwork destroyed is very bad...but the one who destroy all of this is yourself..

you can't blame anyone or you deserve sympathy.. ..and your most trusted friend is no longer with you..

Worse still,I forgot something very important....

I can't see without my powers...

"Crap..."Thider cursed inwardly as she fell ... Darkness ,wind blades as sharp as they sounded...and the feeling of loss surrounded her...

She felt like dying... Ah,I brought this on myself.. . Thider closed her eyes... They are useless anyway...

Feelings like loss and fears can only race her death...she don't need such feelings..

As for that thing in the lake... It better worth her trip...

Thider felt that she had counted about thirty hundred Pilias before she finally felt the water and the sound of it...

And she sank...

....

....

.....

Feng Jiu felt quiet uneasy now adays... He was still waiting for Thider as he studied and cultivated his powers...

It became a habit for him to look out every time he heard a sound..

"Feng boy,you are wasting your time again...Raise your cultivation while you can..Don't you want to become strong?"

The elder sighed as he looked at the boy who went in a daze for the ninth time of the day...and he too looked out into the distance..

"It's been three months ,isn't it?"

The mountain peak is sitll surrounded by a layer of clouds ...

Everywhere in the horizon is white.

Occasionally,there would be the sound of phoenixs in the distance.

And the night sky would be filled with countless stars and the bright moon...like that time she pushed him off from three hundred kilometers above the lake surface.

The boy nodded... and said.

"Elder Mo,can't you do anything about the barrier?"

Although,he could contact with Fidelis via spiritual jade token Thider had given and talk about recent activies around the place,he was informed that she has not come back yet... or at least ,they didn't find her switching back....

Elder Mo shook his head slightly..

"I'm still too weak for that.."

'The lass is really something... She just practically confined the Feng boy in this golden cage called the heavenly...something.... Wait,I shouldn't think things this way..'

"Did you offend her in someway before?"'Because,the girl is helping him grow up but her methods are quite....rough...'

".I....." only met her at the banquet for the first time...

No, I've met her before... but where?...

"Forget it,just make yourself stronger... You must not disappoint her when she come back...." She will come back... I hope... Elder Mo looked away...

'The barrier can be opened by the caster or the death of the caster...

Since,it's still in good shape apart from the first two weeks..I can assume that that lass is still alive.'

'But why is she not back yet? '

....

...

.....

"Fourth miss,the eldest miss is calling for you...."

Sen Ye Aye looked up from her book... The book was given to her by Third sister before she went to the banquet...

-little Ye,you can ask the person who come back from the party about the things you don't understand .... Keep this a secret,don't worry,Sister will be fine..-

The book is a little extraordinary as the words change according to the person. If she was reading.. it would be some cultivation tips and all about medicinal herbs..and martial arts..but if others were to read it,it's all about some boring stuff about the country.Although she doesn't know what her third sister was planning...she still study as much as she can.. but that person ,she don't want to see her most of the time...-

"She is not the eldest miss .Sister

Sen Kyi Kyi is!Her sirname is Heng.

And tell her that I'm sick...."

'And that step sister is such an annoying person.I really don't like to see her.Eldest sister is not here.

Third sister is also not here. How could they left me alone with this crazy women ... They are even messing with Second sister's dowry...although that person is protecting it most of the time....'

"Eldest miss,you can't come in here,like that!"

There was a commotion at the entrance of the Camilla courtyard

,making her frown...

'Here we go again...'

"So,you are sick...Fourth sister?"

A fourteen years old girl looked at the seven years old who was reading a book in the shade..

'This girl is sick?Ha! More like being lazy.!and disrespectful!And I hate those kind of people!'

Her gaze was filled with contempt as she looked at the clam eyes gazing at hers...

"You are merely a concubine's daughter!Is this how you treat the legitimate daughter?!"

Ye Aye looked at the agitated self-proclaim eldest miss...

"I am indeed a concubine's daughter...and I am not ashamed to admit this...but princess Heng seemed to forget the fact that even if her mother is married to the lord of this clan,her sirname will always be 'Heng'.."

'Meaning... you are not a legitimate daughter of the Sen clan ,go back to your rightful place and quit bothering me.Stupid !'

"You....you..." Heng Ling pointed her forefinger at the sharp-tongue girl.'How dare she talk to me like this!'

'If this place is in Dragon Kingdom,do you really think you can talk to me,the only princess of the Long family like this!'

-Long family is the imperial family of The Dragon Kingdom..Heng ling is the niece of the emperor.. -

"You what?It seems ,miss Heng is really free ...you should use this time to raise your cultivation.."

A cold voice sounded from the entrance as a girl in a light-blue dress came in with two maids behind her... She had set her hair into a high pony tail as usual and had the air of a powerful soul around her .One could not along herself to let her guard down around such a person...

"Third sister...I was just telling fourth sister to respect their elders..."Heng ling was quite annoyed at this.. 'Aren't siblings in great clans hate each other? Why are these girls so abnormal!'

"I see," the girl smiled widely,her two canine teeth glinted..

Shivers ran through their backs..

"Miss Heng is really kind. Telling off other household's concubine daughters how they should act.."

"Third sister,how..."

"Miss Heng,I am the legitimate daughter of the Sen Clan.And you are a person who was brought together by the Current madem Sen... " She walked past her as she whispered.. ."Don't touch my siblings or else,you will have some really bad dreams...you know what I mean.. ,princess."

"Little Ye,come with me to the lotus lake...,does Miss Heng want to come with us too?"

"No,I think I have a cold...I'm going to rest..." Heng ling said as she turned and left with her maids...

'Damn,I can't even face a ten years old!This Sen Thider is killing me!'

....

"Third sister," Ye Aye looked around before leaning in to whisper into the girl's ear..

"When will you come back?"

The wind passed through the building on the lake,carrying the scent of lotus with it.

The girl lost her smile as she stared into the distance...

"Master,has not been calling me,these days..."

"What!!"

"Keep it down,Fourth miss.."

She smiled at Ye Aye before taking the book from her .

"Now,can you tell me about your homework I gave the other day...?"'Master, you must come back quickly.. My life force is starting to weak...'

....

"Mother,that Sen Thider is really annoying!Can't you do something about her!?"

Heng Ling said sulkily..

Madem Sen sipped the tea and placed the cup back on the table.

he frowned at the girl's words.

"I told you to become a nice friend of hers but you managed to fail this easy task.Sen Thider is not someone we can afford to often yet. She is the daughter of the former heroine.She has the favour of the common people and the retired emperor..and the lord dotes on her ...more than any of us..If you become her friend ,things will be must easier..."

-Really,you are a freaking sister of the dragon emperor! what's a mere ten years old to you!-

"But she's so strange.. She is too protective of those lowly illegitimate daughters and she won't even allow any insult to her trashy fiance... And she doesn't like gossips.. .She is not interested in most of the things I presented...And she had a very bad first impression of me...Can't we just finish her off?"

Heng Ling sighed as she drank the whole cup of tea in one go...causing her mothwr to frown...

"No,we can't.She won't even allow us to mess with the dowry of the second girl born from a servent of her own mother...whom she had never met.I have check the situation...

We can't do anything about the countyard you want...It was part of the second girl's property.. . and that third girl won't allow it to be taken."

"It's a countyard that no ones lives.Besides ,that lowly girl don't need it now.. When I ask for the Wisteria countyard, it was the eldest girl's countyard... So,there's only a few left..."

"I don't like those things... I like to go back to my country.... I want to see my cousins ..I don't like being talked back by lowly concubine's daughters nor some heroine's daughter...I really hate making schemes just to snatch their tiny possessions... I hate those eyes looking at me with disdain ,I hate those whispers all around me!Why did you come here,mother? Why did you not let me inherit the Heng clan? I could have done much better than those branch's lowly kids...and those stupid..."

"Heng Ling,shut your mouth!"

Madem Sen slapt her daughter..

she regreted it instantly...as her daughter looked at her in shock ..and disappointment....

But thinking about what her daughter was about to say,she sternly reminded her..

"What did this one say to you ,before we came here?! You are no longer a precious princess of the Long and Heng Clans.You have to stay alert and work hard to live! And there are people watching us"

"Still,still...." Heng ling touched her cheek as tears welled up in her eyes... "Ahh,"

She turned and left ,unwilling to acknowledged all the things she's been through.. .

Princess Long,now Madem Sen ,sighed and sit down weakly on her chair..

"Nanny Heng..Have I been spoiling that girl too much?"She said as she pressed her temples...

Nanny Heng poured a cup of tea for her mistress..

"Princess,the little princess had it tough..She just need a little more time...Then,she'll understand that one day.."

"That girl,I hoped she can become friends with the third Sen girl...

Her life will become much more easier that way...Oh,don't call me princess anymore Nanny Heng.."

"Yes,Mistress."'..but you will still be my princess..that I will protect'

"What should I do now...This girl seem to have a guard against me,"

She smiled helplessly...She still remember that pair of intelligent eyes and those words ...

:I only have Ye Wei Wei as my mother...I won't call anyone else with that title...:

Although it was very filial to her own mother,she is not very flexible

...but she has her talent to cover that....and she is protective of the people she approved of.. It would be great ....if she became little Ling's friend...

"So,that's their story...huh?" The person in the dark noted all the conversation down.. "Master would like to know this..."

....

....

....

Thider listened and felt the movement of wind around her...

And with the sword in her hand she lept up and slashed at the creatures lunging at her..

Eighteen, Nineteen,Twenty...

The angry snarls and the sound of

Blood spilling from the dead bodies..as she waved her sword and slashed left and right...

Things must be pretty gruesome out there...

Thirty-nine,Forty,Fourty-one...

It's been five months...since she jumped off the cliff... I must have been mad.... Thider thought as she kicked another creature out of the way... and advanced into the cave...

'Just hope it's right this time.'
