"Madam Yu, Your Excellency-".
"Stop with that! Speak what you want to say!". She said sternly, I smiled.
"Of course, Madam Yu, it's very important". I said with a bow, she raised an eyebrow, she made her servants leave before looking back at me, we were at the training grounds and just finished training.
"What is it?". She asked.
"There's something I want you to keep safe in my place, having it at Waterlily Pavilion is dangerous and forbidden for me to keep written down". I said as I handed her a few books, she was confused before opening one and reading it.
"What am I reading?". She asked, my smile faded.
"Powerful incantations, my father forbade me from writing them, I'm the only one who is supposed to know how it works". I said.
"Why are you giving me this? If your father finds out-".
"He won't, I'm entrusting them to you because my father plans to make a move against the Wen's and I don't know what will happen to my sect or even me". I said, she stood silent.
"The incantations are very powerful but if you perfect them then it will activate-".
"What do these do? if they're connected to your cultivation-".
"It's not, I assure you. I have other abilities that are pure, it's the only thing that is keeping my cultivation balanced right now". I said, she looked at me.
"What do they do?". She asked again.
"Some purify while the other harms". I explained.
"Why me? I could destroy these and send you away, so why-".
"I trust you, Madam Yu, I know it's not enough explanation for you to accept, but with something like this-". I handed the books back to her.
"I can count on you to keep these safe and used when it's necessary to you. I know something is going to happen to me in the future of what my father is going to do, so I want to make sure I leave something behind to help you all and to have a chance-".
"Enough with this nonsense talking! Nothing is going to happen to you, your father treasures you more than anyone in this world! he won't risk your life so carelessly!". She said sternly.
"Yes, I'm his favorite but a strong cultivator like me comes first then his daughter, he must do what is necessary for the sake of our sect, no matter the sacrifices". I said.
"And you willing to sacrifice yourself so easily because he asked!? Whatever he has planned for you, you mustn't go through with it! Do you hear me Meigui!?". She said firmly, I can only hum in response.
"I try, if you promise to keep these books safe at all costs and be more true towards your feelings for Wei Ying, only then will I accept my promise to you". I said, her eyes widened a bit as I bowed and left her there alone, I walked out of the training grounds and walked around since I was done with training.
"Meigui!". I heard Yanli call out, I looked at her with a smile as she walked over.
"Hello, Yanli, is something the matter?". I asked.
"I heard you're good with herbs, I was wondering if you could tell me what this is?". She asked as she showed me what she had in her hands, I raised my eyebrow suspiciously since I knew she knew what this was.
