6 Promise
The next day Lee clan was in chaos." search everywhere for elder yi" shouted old lee. When he went to greet elder yi, in the morning. He was nowhere to be found. Even old lee tried to search for elder yi, through his divine sense. He found that he was unable to locate him in the imperial city. As if elder yi never existed in first place.
Old Lee frowned on knowing something went wrong. " Did someone assassinate elder yi". But to escape from my divine sense, he must be an expert. But to think elder yi would offend a powerful person, that's impossible. "Even if he was a spiritual realm expert, he was really a sly man. He would never do things that endanger his life" he was thinking of every possible option.
It was not that old lee was worried about elder yi. He worried about the Divine sect rage which will descend on Lee clan. They were one of the top sects, in taing country. "To think one of their elders went missing from my Lee clan" sigh!!!!.
The Lee clan main hall was crowded with elders and guards, all talking about elder yi disappearance. "Patriach, should we send a message to Divine sect about this news," said an elder. "Don't talk foolishly, if they know, our Lee clan will be the one they will suspect? "said another elder. " He is right, elder yi presence was lastly felt at lee clan. If they know, they will suspect us" replied the patriach. To think there was someone to erase the existence of elder who is it!!! , Old Lee was breaking his head by thinking.
It was that time a servant came running to old lee." Patriach, second miss Wang shi request an audience with patriach" old lee was already annoyed. He just said, "say her I am busy right now". He still showed some face for Wang shi, after all, she was Mo Lee and Han Lee mother.
"But patriach, second miss said she knew the culprit for elder yi disappearance", the servant said in a hurried tone. The elders and old lee were shocked ." Bring her here " old lee shouted. A middle-aged female along with the head maid entered the Hall.
"Greetings!!! Father, I know you were busy with elder yi matters. But this daughter of yours have come here to inform about the culprit" said Wang shi with a devious smile. " Who is it !!! Say, Wang Shi, who has the guts to enter our Lee clan to kill our guest" old Lee replied with a frown.
"Father, I saw first young master's personal maid entering into elder yi room last night," Wang she said with a tone of disgust. The elders and patriach were showing a shocked expression. But the servants who knew the truth felt pity towards Yoshi. Even if they want to say the truth, who will believe them.
"Is it true Wang shi?" asked old lee. "Yes father, I saw her with my own eyes" replied Wang shi." it is settled then we will just hand her over to Divine sect," said an elder. But old lee was still thinking, is it really true??. I know Wang shi doesn't like tian Lee, so she always troubles tian Lee. But to think she would say this. Hiss!!! Old Lee took a deep breath. "Bring Yoshi here " old lee ordered a nearby servant. Wang shi felt extremely happy inside, what if you were lucky to escape last night. Tian lee I will remove whoever is close to you, this is just a start.
WAIT!!!!!!a voice which made the air tremble sounded across the main hall. Hearing the voice Wang shi frowned. "To think she would come out now" Wang shi showed a face of disgust.
"Its old madam lee, she has finally broken through monarch realm" shouted one of the elders. Now lee clan can be called as the second powerhouse of the taing country, after the imperial family. Old Lee smiled "at last she has ascended". But still now is not the right time to be happy as the crisis will fall upon lee clan soon.
An elderly looking female with a bright face came walking down the main hall. Every elder present greeted her with respect. "Everyone disperse, I have something to talk with clan head". Everyone stood up and silently left the main hall. "I know you are here for that brat, even if she is his personal maid, I have no other choice," old Lee said with a frown. But madam lee was smiling. It further infuriated old lee. "Whatever you say this time, I can't do anything. It is something that will cause lee clan to suffer" old lee looked at madam lee and said in a firm tone.
He knows she always loved tian Lee. The first grandson whom he never saw in a favorable light. Unexpectedly old madam started laughing. She laughed at how her husband was foolish, to think he was scared of a sect. To think he would even do injustice for an innocent soul, who knew nothing. "Old man has your brain dead" shouted old madam. Old Lee was startled, to think his own wife was talking against him.
"Wha....what an audacity, do you think I am doing this for my own. If not for the clan, I wouldn't have stepped this low" old Lee knew he was doing wrong, but what else he can do. He just wanted to save his clan from the calamity.
Sigh!!!!" Old lee lets me tell you this, make sure you remember. Make an enemy out of anyone in this world but not him"." If he gets angry even the gods can't help you".old lee was speechless. Just who is his wife talking about?
He knows Yoshi, she was orphan who had no backing. But who does she talks about? The only one I know that backs Yoshi, is that tian brat. But what if I anger him, this is for our clan. old lee was thinking about what his wife was saying.
Knowing what he was thinking old madam sighed!!!."old lee, angering tian Lee isn't something we can trifle with". Old lee eyes enlarged. Just what is she talking about isn't tian brat a normal child. He knows how that brat lazy around during his childhood. Where his cousins were working hard in their cultivation.
" I know you are confused, but remember not to disturb tian Lee anymore" as old madam walked out saying that. Old lee sat on the chair with a blank expression. Just what is going on?
"He is turning 18 this month huh!!!, Time flies so soon," old madam lee thought about her promise to tian Lee. "Tian you should never show your true power or your face to people". " But grandma why," asked the 5-year-old tian, Lee. "It's for your own good, little tian. Wait until you turn eighteen ". "Hmmm, okay it's a promise that"
