The Black pearl in the snow and clouds

The test of healing and talisman crafting

Wei Ying felt lighter as she walked slowly through the thongs of people going to each stall and enquiring things such as sales, health of themselves and families, trading situations, when she left to head to the next stall each and every one had given her a 'gift' Wei Ying knew that hidden messages were within these gifts but the gift itself was hers to keep, the head elite and the second in command stayed close to her looking for any trouble and at the same time making sure that no one could come close to her, Wei Ying was made out to be a treasure, While Wen Rouhan and her family wanted her be a true maiden and not fighting her grandmother and uncle Sheng had different plans,

"Why not be a fighting maiden, she needs to be able to defend herself"

In the end it was true, wasn't it Wei Ying was tortured unable to defend herself and almost cost her, her life if it was not for her uncle.

Master, it is not good to dwell in the past said Suibian as he chose to walk next to her

I am not dwelling, merely understanding said Wei Ying

You are dwelling said ChenQing as she two walked beside her.

Fine I am dwelling but who wouldn't, twice... twice I almost died, twice I was bought back from the brink of oblivion and for what? To be the sacrifice this world needs... can I not just for once be me? asked Wei Ying

We understand, we know you never chose this path and that it was chosen for you by them, you lost your childhood innocence because of them... for that they need to pay and pay dearly said Suibian as ChenQing growled her approval.

Let's head back said the head elite as his eyes narrowed.

Of course, said Wei Ying as both suibian and ChenQing disappeared.

Maiden Wei, a moment...

I do not have a moment to spare sect Leader Jin, I have two last tests to set up a feast to prepare and a conference to get ready for said Wei Ying as she bowed slightly and tried walking off.

Jin GuangShan grabbed on Wei Ying's arm and pulled her to him holding her tight, Wei Ying eyes flashed red as she slowly turned and tried holding her breath as the man's breath smelt stale of wine and sex.

Sect Leader Jin if you prefer your limbs attached to your body then I suggest you leave me and retain a cordial distance, as I am sure that everyone here would love to poke you with holes for even daring touching their maiden and in the process hurting her sneered Wei Ying

Wei Ying allowed her Yin to wrap around the arm that held Wei Ying to the whore of a man and slowly began making him bleed, Jin GuangShan hissed and let go of her and was pushed back to a safe distance for Wei Ying to take a breath.

See I do not need my swords or my men to protect me, as I have stated I am not the weak child that everyone had gotten to know, so now if you will excuse me I have more important events to plan and people to see then stroke your ego while you make empty promises trying to gain my favor said Wei Ying as her elites once again closed around her and walked her away.

Jin GuangShan seethed where he stood as Xue Yang chuckled.

Told you, she is special, her bonds to the other sects are solid, her Yin and Yang are more than even I can handle and her fire, if she used that you hand would be nothing but cooked meat and Charred bones, you need her trust as I have.

And yet every time she wins growled Jin GuangShan

That is because you underestimate her sect Leader Jin, stop thinking of her as a weak child because she is nothing like that, Wei Ying wears the mask to disguise her true intent said Xue Yang
