I woke up to the sound of people running around and talking.

Maid: Hurry. Go prepare the food.

I woke up and sat up on my bed.

"Mei Ling."

She came inside.

Mei Ling: Gongzhu. Shall I prepare a bath?

"Mm. But tell me what's going on?"

Mei Ling: The people of Shu Hexin Wangguo will be arriving later in the evening.

A/N:"Shu Hexin Wangguo" means Tree Core Kingdom.

"What reasons are they coming here?"

Mei Ling: They came to visit his Majesty. His majesty is great friends with the people from Shu Hexin Wangguo.

"Mm."

I then dismissed her.

Later on I had took my bath and changed into a black hanfu. This time I wore a hat with a veil that covered my whole face.

I then headed down and saw father and Jin.

Cheng: Yin Lan.

"Fuqin."

Cheng: Are you sure you'll be alright?

"Yes. I'll be fine. I'll be back tomorrow."

Cheng: Have Jin go along with you.

"Mm. Then take of yourself."

Cheng: You too.

He hugged me.

Cheng: You must come back home safely tomorrow.

"I got it. Then I'll be leaving."

Cheng: Mm.

Jin and I headed out and rode on the horses and left.

We headed to the northern border.

We arrived there in the evening.

I then got off the horse and headed to the border.

Guard: Hold. State your name.

I then took out my Royal crest and showed it to them.

They all kneeled down.

Guard: Welcome Gongzhu. We heard of your arrival. Please come this way.

I followed and headed up the border.

I then saw a lot of cultivator and citizen outside the border pushing through the guards.

I stood there watching the scene.

Then I signaled Jin.

Jin: Enough!

They all stopped and looked at the person who had yelled.

"Jin."

He jumped down and tapped some people on the shoulder.

Jin: Those who have been tapped on the shoulder may head inside.

Guy: This is unfair.

Women: Let us in too. How can they get to go in but we don't?

Jin: Enough! If your worthy to go in. Prove it. If you can defeat me. Then you can head in.

Guy: Wait!

He then pulled out a crest and showed it to Jin.

Guy: I'm from the Monster Sect. Let me through.
