THE RISE OF LIMING HIGH PRIESTS
Wu Huan stood looking at Dai Chan not knowing what to say. She was right. One should never forget their past. Especially if they wanted to succeed. But right at this moment, all Wu Huan could think about were her eyes. They were so beautiful. “Your Highness, I know I agreed to us listening to your story. But, Wu Huan is right. We have to get going. Please forgive us." Zhi Hao said this time while Wu Huan continued to gaze at Dai Chan. “Fine. Since you are insisting, I will let you go.” Dai Chan said smiling at Wu Huan. Zhi Hao dragged Wu Huan out of the restaurant after they had said their goodbyes to Dai Chan. Only when they were outside in the streets did Zhi Hao hut Wu Huan to gain his attention. “Ouch! " Wu Huan cried looking at Zhi Hao. Turning around, Wu Huan realized at they had already left the restaurant. “Did we leave already?" Wu Huan asked Zhi Hao. “ I didn't expect you to notice. You were already in another world when she was talking to. I had to practically drag y
THE RISE OF LIMING FIRST TIME
Han Ying had been playing with the other children out in the field so she hadn't noticed when Zhi Hao and his friends passed. After an hour of trying to make the children leave her, Han Ying was finally able to escape. “Your Highness, your hair is all messy." Han Ying heard her personal maid say making her laugh. “I don't mind. It's for the children after all. No need to start redoing my hair. I will just put it up in a simple way. It will take us a lot of time of we are to redo it." Han Ying said putting her hair up in a normal big bun before placing all her hairpins on them. “Your Highness is still very beautiful. This hairstyle seems to fit you more the the formal hairstyle.” Han Ying heard her maids say making her laugh. When she entered inside, Han Ying was still laughing until she entered inside. Seeing Xing Ming introducing some people to the Empress Dowager, Han Ying rushed to go and stay by his side. Only when she got there that she did see Zhi Hao. He was the guy that ha

Song Huo watched Wu Huan scream on the top of his lungs feeling sorry for him. He was the one that had forced Wu Huan. He forgot that things like that shouldn't have been forced. Song Huo took a step forward wanting to go and comfort Wu Huan when he felt a hand on his shoulder stopping him. “Don't do it, Brother Song. Better now or never." Yin Xue Yue said. Song Huo turned looking at Wu Huan seeing how Wu Huan was already crying. This time, he felt Yin Xue Yue was right. These are the things that Wu Huan would have to do sooner or later since he is the team's leader. Glancing at Wu Huan one more time, Song Huo turned round with Yin Xue Yue leaving. While Wu Huan continued crying, the gates of the manor opened and Zhi Hao, Xiang Jun, Shao Wen and Nan Cheng entered. Xiang Jun was the first one to notice Wu Huan crying. Although the place had been dark, Xiang Jun had good eyesights seeing as Wu Huan had tried to quickly wipe his tears away. “Brother Zhi." Xiang Jun said tapping Zhi H

“Your Majesty, don't you think that might have acted rashly this time? The entire capital is now blaming Liming." Master Ye said while Xing Ming continued to paint. Luckily, he had managed to calm down his officials. Them panicking would only cause him stress which was not what he wanted at this moment. “Don't panic too. Their damaged reputation is only for a while. The public are just like dogs. Once they don't have food, they will rebel naturally. Once you feed them, they would start to follow you while wagging their tail. All we need to do is to make them do something that the public will like.” Xing Ming said rolling his eyes before he returned his focus back to his painting. Wu Huan woke up the next day getting of bed. Standing up, Wu Huan held his two hands up stretching. Having some sleep had done him a little bit of good. Of course he wasn't so easy to just forget that you had slaughtered a whole family. During the early hours of the night, the nightmares had haunted him. T
THE RISE OF LIMING RESPONSIBILITIES
Wu Huan heard what Song Huo had said making him close his eyes. Once again, he had been caught in the middle of Song Huo and Zhi Hao's quarrel. The two of them couldn't stand each other and in the end, he was being forced to choose. He didn't like to always seem partial towards Zhi Hao. So he had tried his best not to be around whenever they fought. His plan had never actually worked. “Instead of trying to find out what doesn't concern you, you should be getting ready to go to the tea house. What? Do you think that because you successfully completed one mission by yourself, you have earned the right to stay at home?” Wu Huan heard his master ask making him turn around. “Yes, Master." Song Huo said glaring at Zhi Hao as he left. “You too. I don't care of you want to burn down the tea house. Go there immediately! And the two of you better not be seen fighting in public. You brothers must show your unity even if you can't stand each other." Master Ye said watching as Song Huo and Zhi
THE RISE OF LIMING BREAKING POINT
Xing Ming looked at the report from the head of the crime department. The head of the crie department had managed to find all the obvious evidences which made Master Ye worried. “These are nothing. They slaughtered the entire manor. You didn't expect them to start cleaning up the entire manor after killing them, did you? All this isn't what is important. Grand Duke Fenghao sent me a white pigeon while I was with my uncle. I suppose his intention might have been to make my uncle suspicious. Make one of the people from Liming follow him. I want to know what my uncle finds. And don't send Wu Huan. You don't know how surprised I was when I saw Zhi Hao at the palace the other day. I was afraid out of my wits. That Han Ying might recognize her brother.” Xing Ming said . “It's been twelve years. There is no way the Empress would have recognized her brother. Still, its been to be careful. I heard from one of the members of Liming that the prime minister and his son were both taken back when

After seeing Wu Huan leave, Nan Cheng turned looking at Song Huo. Song Huo was also suprised at the way Wu Huan had behaved. It was like he had been pushed past his breaking point. “What is it? What are you looking at?” Song Huo asked intimidating Nan Cheng as he passed. Wu Huan left the tea house sighing as he came out. He had been so angry that he dared to fight with Song Huo. This was why he had always tried to keep his anger in. Looking around, Wu Huan saw the capital streets being busy again. Their manor almost didn't have anything. No maids, no workers and no coachmen. No matter where theh wanted to go, they had to go by foot. “Young master, do you need a ride?" Zhao Yao asked as she looked at Wu Huan. She had been dressed as a coach man in order to come to the tea house. Wu Huan looked her not realizing that she was a woman. “Aren't you here for His Majesty?" Wu Huan asked whispering. " His Majesty? Is His Majesty here?” Wu Huan heard the coachman making him realize how m

Everyone's gaze turned looking as Fenghao's grandson entered. The truth about them had been hidden for a very long time making all of them afraid as they shifted back. Some say he was crazy. Others said that he was a deity. No one really knew the truth about him. “My grandson is here." Fenghao said smiling. " Greetings Your Highness.” They said standing up as he entered. “No need to stand on ceremony. I've been away for a long time. Has anything significant happened in the capital?" Fenghao's grandson asked as he sat down. “Nothing much, Your Highness. The capital is still the same." One of Fenghao's men said smiling as he looked at Fenghao himself. “Still the same? The murder of Count Cao, the planing of rebellion. Were all these things in action before I left?" Fenghao's grandson asked glaring at Fenghao's men. “Okay. Stop being angry with them. They are doing their best. Things would be much easier if your second cousin would just hand over his throne.” Fenghao said as he sip

Opening the door, Wu Huan was suprised as he saw greeted with someone running to meet him. “Your Majesty." Wu Huan heard his wife say and nodded his head at her too. “Royal father." Wu Huan heard Huanxing say and smiled. Day by day, Huanxing resembled the woman he had loved to the ending. The fact that he wasn't at her side at her last ending was forever a big regret to him. Nevertheless, she left him a perfect gift. Her son. Wu Huan didn't mind who was Huanxing's father. To him, he was his son and he would take care of him as long as he was alive. Few months later, Wu Huan left the palace and arrived last on the mountains. All the other members of Liming were already there wi

Hearing Nan Cheng talk, Han Ying became even more nervous. The more Nan Cheng talked, the more he was revealing too many things. Things that she didn't want the world to know. Signaling a guard with her hand behind her back, Han Ying collected his sword. Tightening her hand around the sword, Han Ying threw the sword aiming for Nan Cheng. The rest members of Liming gasped in shock as they saw me that Nan Cheng was about to be killed. Luckily, Nan Cheng has seen it coming and jumped up into the air to avoid the sword. Even when she saw that she had failed, Han Ying didn't stop. “Kill him. Make sure you kill him!" Han Ying said exposing herself while Han Ling remained calm. The royal guards that she had come with, immediately brought out their arrows showing their true intentions. Wu Huan saw the arrows being fired at Nan Cheng and immediately went to block it for him. The two of them blocked all the arrows watching it fall to the ground. But the more they blocked the arrows fired at

“What? What did you say? Wu Huan is holding Duke Chengzhou hostage for his deed?” Han Ying asked as she stood up. Staring at her toys, Han Ling heard everything yet she didn't say anything and continued to play with her toys as if she wasn't concerned. “Has he gone mad? Let's go immediately." Han Ying said about to leave but stopped when she realized that her daughter was not with her. Turning back, Han Ying signaled her daughter to get in line and Han Ling stood up obeying immediately. Few minutes later, they all arrived at Duke Chengzhou's manor where Wu Huan was still holding Duke Chengzhou hostage. He had alreadygotten the deed and was coming out of the manor when Han Ying's carriage stopped iln front. Holding her maid's hand, Han Ying came down and Han Ling followed. “Wu Huan." Wu Huan heard his name and stopped watching as the royal guards that had followed Han Ying rounded him. “Wu Huan. Stop this madness immediately and drop the deed. You have finally exposed yourself in

FINAL REVELATION (3)
Few seconds later, Wu Huan was rushing out of the house in order to go and find who had been behind everything from the beginning. This unknown person was finally ready to show his face which meant that Han Ling's suspicions had been correct. Anger blinded his eyes and all he wanted to do was to destroy that person. But just as angry as he was, he was also afraid. “Wu Huan." Wu Huan heard his name only after he had felt something grab him. Lifting his head up, Wu Huan turned and saw Zhi Hao. He had already forgotten about Zhi Hao who had followed him. Unlike Wu Huan who was blinded with rage, Zhi Hao was not. Therefore, Zhi Hao could see that it was a huge set up. “Where are you going? Don't you know that it's a trap?" Zhi Hao asked. " Trap or not, do you expect me to leave my sister and allow her to get killed?” Wu Huan asked. Hearing what Wu Huan said, Zhi Hao sighed knowing that there was actually no way that he could stop Wu Huan. Later that evening, Zhi Hao sent a message

FINAL REVELATION (2)
“ Who am I?" Han Ling asked as she laughed walking across the room. Wu Huan and Zhi Hao who had been watching her stood suprised as they watched Han Ling move to the window. Just then, the doors opened and the guards came in leading Duke Fenghao. After leading him inside, they left leaving him alone with Wu Huan and Zhi Hao. Glancing at the room, Duke Fenghao already knew something was wrong. “Your Majesty, what is happening here? Do you mind telling me?” Duke Fenghao asked as he looked around the room. “Duke Fenghao, Wu Huan is saying that someone kidnapped Princess Zhao Yao. Did you do it? I believe that you might be the one since you have a grudge against his family for stealing your family's deed.” Han Ling said. “Your Majesty, that's impossible. I would never do such a thing. At all. Even though it is true that he did steal our family's deed, I have no reason to kidnap his sister.” Duke Fenghao said. “But it won't be the first time you have done that. As I have heard, the pr

FINAL REVELATION
Han Ling walked from her royal chair where she was supposed to be and walked to the window gazing through it. “In this palace, there are a lot of things that cannot be said. I only hope on others till I can gain my own power. There are a lot of things happening but I can't do anyone about it. Please help me.” Wu Huan heard Han Ling say. After remembering what Han Ling said, Wu Huan left the palace gate about to enter his carriage when he saw Zhao Yao hiding by a corner. Glancing around confused, Wu Huan stepped away from his carriage walking to where Zhao Yao was. “ What are you doing here? Hiding like that.” Wu Huan asked Zhao Yao. Few seconds later, Wu Huan and Zhao Yao stood in an alley talking. Wu Huan had dragged her hand immediately he saw that she had been holding a bag. “Where are you going?” Wu Huan asked Zhao Yao even though he he already knew the answer. Zhao Yao was leaving so suddenly. It could only he because she had heard something about Song Huo. At this moment,

Shao Wen's eyes widened as he heard what Zhao Yao had said. Hearing that it was about the gate of heaven, Shao Wen drew closer near to Zhao Yao and glanced around to make sure no one was around. “Gate of heaven? Did you just say the gate of heaven? How is that possible? You don't think that Brother Song has something to do with this, do you? I can sincerely vouch for him. He would never do such a thing.” Shao Wen said immediately trying to convince Zhao Yao. Shaking her head, Zhao Yao sipped her tea before glancing at her cup as she dropped it down. She already knew that Song Huo wasn't behind it. “I know that he isn't the one behind it. You don't need to convince me otherwise.” Zhao Yao said. “Are you really not going to return back to Chu with me?” Shao Wen asked. Zhao Yao looked at Shao Wen and sighed not knowing if she was doing the right thing. At this moment, she knew it was better to reason with her head rather than her heart yet, she couldn't find herself doing it at al

Glancing up at the ceiling, Han Ying took a deep breath before putting her head down. Lately, she was losing a lot to Zhi Hao and she didn't like it at all. Not wanting to comprise, Han Ying opened her mouth to speak but looked at her personal maid and saw her signal her to not do it. This was more than them just accepting whatever Zhi Hao said, her pride was slowly diminishing. Deciding to heed to her personal maid's warning, Han Ying looked at Han Ling and nodded her head. “Thank you, mother." Han Ying heard Han Ling say as her daughter jumped into her arms hugging her. “Thank you, Queen Mother." Zhi Hao said bowing his head as he smiled. Leaving the palace, Zhi Hao smiled as a part of his plan had worked. He was one step away from revealing the truth. Few days later, Zhi Hao set the trap he wanted in the palace without anyone knowing. Meanwhile, Han Ying was getting anxious by the minute every single day. Zhi Hao had told them that he was going to set a trap but he had not told

Few minutes later, Song Huo woke up with blurry vision as he opened his eyes for the first time. Glancing around, Song Huo looked and saw that he wws still in the same room as his unconscious father. Seeing his father in a coffin, Song Huo immediately got the idea of had really happened. Although their royal family had learned the magic that could be used to preserve a person in between the gate of life and death, there was a price to be paid for it. Sitting up, Song Huo looked to trying to avoid Nan Cheng's gaze as he knew his younger brother very well“There is no need for you to continue staring at me. I know very well what I am doing." Song Huo said" What you are doing? I don't think you know at all. The price of you performing such magic, you must know yourself.” Nan Cheng said making Song Huo stand up immediately. “Enough. You don't need to continue telling me about such trival matters. I will handle myself. Just make sure that you help me perseve my father's body.” Song Huo
