Gusu

The morning before her trip her adoptive father Hua Cheng , gave her a gift as a token which he called a pass to return home when it was time for her it was also a sign of where she came from and only certain people would recognize it as well simultaneously used being a protection charm if she was faced with danger on the way there specially with her being a princess he was sure there would be some people who would want to take advantage of such a prestigious title. And a little bit before heading to gusu , 6 months earlier her adoptive father had forced her to vigorously learn to write and along with her adopted father who she was surprised to be in the same boat as her to undergo writing lessons in Temple of a thousand lights . Calligraphy to her was like a nightmare especially with her medical problem that resulted in her very shaky and unsteady hands when it came to holding objects but they were patient with her. At least at this point her calligraphy was somewhat legible not as monstrous as Hua cheng's but still nowhere near the level of the pristine cleanliness that Xie Lian had. And when she wasn't studying calligraphy her adoptive father would train her with his scimitar ..

Ruthlessly at that though to his surprise she caught on very well learning basic techniques as well as advanced ones . Almost as if she lied to him about knowing how to handle a weapon. He did note that she was still unexperienced with certain weapons he definitely took notice that she had some experience in some kind of weapon maybe it was something she had used previously and her old life and she chose to never use weapons again it made him backtrack to a promise his beloved once made about using a weapon once upon a time ago. Out of guilt and negligence however he was pleased to know that she was willing to get past whatever she had keeping her from using a weapon. Pushing past whatever is bothered her about using a weapon in the past versus the present as she sparred with him and trained with him. He wouldn't be lying if he was ecstatic over the fact that even when he was holding back she dare not . Sometimes he found himself struggling to keep up with her internally taking notice that maybe she knew he was holding back especially with how vigorous he was with his training maybe she was trying to get a little bit of Revenge.

This was a strange way for them to bond and sometimes away for them to get their anger out. As they both shared similarities in that.

One thing he really wanted her to learn especially since he hammered it into her so much for her safety he taught her how to take control of his butterflies, although that requires him sneakily teach her a little bit of demonic energy for her to be able to connect with wrath butterflies of his properly. And it was a surprise insight for his eyes that when she finally did get the grasp of demonic energy and how easily she was able to adjust . Those butterflies changed the from their silvery color to a vibrant violet color.

"You learn very quickly it's almost as if you're used to this type of energy"

He spoke in a probing manner just giving her a silent hint that she wasn't all as sneaky as she thought she was.

Her eyes wide and slightly before straightening up . "Ah- aya- uh -I don't think so I don't know where you got that from I just think it's easier to understand as it's much closer to Magic then cultivation is at least the fundamentals are.."

She said as a response although she knew that he knew that he was definitely picking up on some things she hoped that he wouldn't however her response wasn't completely alive it was somewhat similar to how magic worked it was a type of energy. Cultivation with energy from within but things such as demonic energy and resentful energy is extential energy . So it was a lot easier for her to grasp the concept of rather than cultivation.

By this time she hadn't yet developed a golden core but knew all the basics and requirements to prepare her body for creating one along with some simple spells that merely required very little spiritual pressure, of which she figured out to mimic in her own combining her knowledge of how her magic works and how sorcery worked in their world . That energy such as demonic energy and residential energy although she knew a little bit more about harmonic energy thanks to her a doctor father with the training on how to properly utilize his butterflies one could gathered demonic energy from the area around them as she was taught by Xie Lian that spiritual Essence could be found within living things rather than the exterior as long as there was life as it ran within everyone but it was up to the person to unlock its true potential and what it could truly be of use for. Teaching her the basics of how a golden core is to be formed on that principle so when her time to study at recess came she would have vanessary knowledge to train and accumulate one within herself.
