Heavens Blossomed Goddess~ [Y/N]

2

[Y/N] was currently under the newly built garden pavilion of 雪花黑曜石/Snowflake Obsidian] Xuěhuā Palace within the Pond Garden, a bridge connecting towards her residence. Enjoying the freshly aroma of the tea, taking a sip while enjoying the view of the beautiful garden that she values greatly.

"What do you mean she's not here?"

"My apologies but her grace is not accepting visitors"

"Not accepting? Dare to say that."

"Oh?" [Y/N] hearing the commotion from afar.

"Your grace, It seems that General Ming Guang has come to the palace to speak with you." A servant says as she comes up.

"Bring the General "[Y/N] says then with a pause of thought "...and the servant he spoke with as well." Thinking why would one of her servants refuse the welcoming of others to come to her palace.

The General arrived as [Y/N] never had a full look of him, but undeniably extremely handsome. General Ming had a symbolic mark on the side of his upper face around his temples, his eyes were a blazing mix of red, long hair looking rough yet silky, as half of it was tied up with a ribbon, his inside shirt was white formal while on top was like a black guarded long sleeve suited vest [that also covered his hands halfway] as scaled gold like colors ran down his flared outer white coat. His whole demeanor showed one of a leader yet had a gentleman appearance.

[[Normally with his head crown piece on but wasn't during this time and usually covered armor on his shoulder blades with accessories of silver/ red armor jewelry with purple long dangling earrings, his outfit consisted of the colors shaded red, copper orange, brown and black. ]]

"Greetings & Blessings towards her Heavenly Grace." Pei Ming doing the [Fist & Palm] Salute Greeting as he looks up. [Y/N] smelling an amazing musk aroma from him.

"General Ming. Explanation for the commotion?" Sudden tension

"Tsk. I was informed your heavenly grace, long left the palace of worn out shoes to be extremely busy?" Pei Ming stated sarcastically as he sat down without a care towards [Y/N]. It seemed the female servants seemed entranced by him.

"That wasn't very humorous, General." [Y/N] bluntly said with crossed arms.

"Servant of yours does not know their place." Pei Ming gave a look of disapproval towards the servant who argued with him.

"My apologies, your grace!" The Servant quickly got on her knees, fully bowing.

"How long were you waiting?" [Y/N] asked the General, surprised the two were conversing as if they knew each other for a long time , although only meeting her for the second time .

"Not long" He said looking away, his cheek laying against his palm as his elbow was against the table.

"General, why have you not requested to discuss further matters beforehand?" [Y/N] question.

"Your grace, you refused all of them ." Pei Ming said with a blank stare as [Y/N] was speechless from his behavior, not knowing what was on his mind.

"All ? " [Y/N] question in confusion as he nods. [Y/N] looked down upon the kneeled Servent with an icy demeanor.

"I didn't mean to, your grace!"

"That's odd..I haven't been notified of any of your
requests" [Y/N] says with a thought that untrusted servants have been involved.

"This will be reported to his heavenly majesty, as it seemed you had no knowledge this was occurring." Pei Ming said as [Y/N] nodded.

"General Ming, I will hand over the servant in which you seek to punish. My palace will reevaluate everyone to ensure this does not occur again. " [Y/N] says her eyebrows slightly furrowed in distress, as she pondered her plans to head to the mortal realm sooner than she had thought-

With Pei Ming's snap of a finger, the kneeled servant disappeared as the other two servants bow In courtesy, before quickly walking away when he looked toward them with a chilling glance as if he was agitated by something.

"Would you like some tea, General?" [Y/N] pouring a cup and placing it in front but aside, just in case he didn't want any.

"Call me Pei Ming, your grace." He said with a smirk and a wink, before having a sip.

"Were you off womanizing again? Your hair has become undone." [Y/N] says sarcastically as his tied ribbon hair was loose to his confound expression when [Y/N] abruptly gets up and goes behind him to fix it.

"Hmph." Pei Ming sighs without [Y/N] notice as he once again has one of his cheek laying above his palm, elbows against the table.

"General, don't mind no offense but I've been informed of a recent case."

"I won't take offense to what it is, your grace."

"It's unfortunate Pei Xiu has been banished..." [Y/N] states with a slight tone of sadness as Pei Ming was silent, hoping it wasn't too offensive as [Y/N] finished tying the ribbon with a shaped butterfly.

"Sincere apologies..." [Y/N] says as she sits back down.

"Pei Xu had admitted to his wrongful doing but framing Xie Lian is unacceptable without valid evidence. General." A sudden slam of the table of PeiMing expressed irritation as [Y/N] did not flinch, taking a sip of her tea.

"Was that all."

"I had received a certain request from him long ago but now that he's banished to the mortal world, it'll be hard to find him."

"Request?" Peaking Pei Ming Interest.

"General Ming....if you could...please hand an item to him."

"What item do you speak of?"

"It is a scroll which is to be handed to him. If he cannot be found, bring it back." [Y/N] says with seriousness as Pei Ming was curious what was spoken within the sealed scroll. Most sealed scrolls could be broken with certain spells but those under [Y/N] and the Heavenly Emperor are unable to break it, only to the true receiver is allowed to break the spell.

"Of course, your grace." Pei Ming said with a hidden smirk as a sealed scroll appeared in [Y/N] hand, the scroll floating over to Pei Ming, who wondered how [Y/N] and PeiXiu knew one another but [Y/N] spoke as if she once again knew what he was thinking.

"Pei Xiu was once my subordinate when I was in the mortal world long after the Banyue Kingdom's tragic fall. If you are having a hard time looking for your junior, I suggest looking for the Ban Yue Girl, considering the fact they called her the Imperial Preceptor."

"Ban Yue?" [Y/N] nods by his question-

"She currently should be in Puqi Village. I advise you to not interfere in hopes to reopen the trail, General." [Y/N] strongly advising him to listen, knowing he most likely would go against her suggest, as she had that planned out as well-

(....I'll have to let his heavenly majesty know of my departure...it seems the martial gods are disturbing peace within the underworld.) [Y/N] sudden thought-

Pei Ming gotten up as [Y/N] says "General, please don't be rough on Prince XianLe. He only has good intentions."

"How are you so sure." He says coldly with piercing eyes as [Y/N] wasn't bothered as she looked at the flowers in the distance and says with a warm smile-

"Through all my years, I believe his heart never changed for greed nor hatred...He's truly one of a kind."
