"She is resting in her room. Let\'s go meet her".

"Mm, thank you, Soma, Let\'s go!".

Soma calmly nodded his head and began to follow the two girls in front. However, as they approached the door, he felt multiple people approaching their side from the other side of the corridor.

They abruptly nodded, and the silhouettes of people who came to visit showed themselves. Oblivious, Soma slightly shifted his positioning beside Xiao Lian, ready to protect her anytime.

The people who came to the place were a woman in her early thirties and two male guards who held their gaze up, acting arrogant. She is a black-haired beauty but hides a shrewd intent behind her calm gaze.

She wears a purple Hanfu, letting the gown cascade down, picturing the elegance that brought out her Aura of empress. The woman sweeps her gaze attentively toward Soma\'s group, and no one notices, but Soma, with his keen sight, notices a slight ripple in her unwavering, sharp, dark eyes.

Xiao Lian stepped forward but still did not go beyond the line of his sight. She maintains a straight position beside him and confronts the woman with her cold expression. She cupped her fist and opened her mouth reluctantly.

"Greetings, Aunt Yin!".

As soon as that name came up, Soma\'s brows knitted, but he soon shook his head to neutralize it.

He forced his agitation to drown in his calmness. Soma knows who the woman before him is. However, he intends to lay low for a while because there is something more pressing than that. "But, to think we will meet this soon," Soma muttered.

"...Lian\'er, it\'s been a while. how have you been?".

The woman, Xiao Yin, waves her delicate fingers, gesturing to stop with the cupping fist. Xiao Lian relented as she nodded her head and looked at Xiao Yin\'s pleased face.

"I am fine, thank you. Why are you here?".

"Nothing, I was planning to visit your mother like usual".

Hearing that, Xiao Lian\'s cheek twitches, never expecting Xiao Yin, who had no actual relationship back then, to bother herself and visit her mother. "Something is wrong!"—all of a sudden, the hidden gem she always had since little resurfaced.

The instinct skill she was born with, tingling in alarm, her blood froze, and a deep sense of unease gnawed at her heart. Xiao Lian lost the feeling from her fingertips, trembling, and couldn\'t exert a single grain of power within her being.

Then a bast of blue aurAuraploded within the place. It created shockwaves that blew away the ceilings and wooden fences around. A beautiful hue of blue aurAuraveloped Xiao Lian\'s body as she gripped the Legendary spear, which was also trembling, following its master\'s sudden change of emotion.

Feeling the situation might have turned bad, Soma clenched his hands, ready to summon his equipment in full gear and confront the enemy in front of her.

Within the swirling chaos, the woman kept her calm and watched the girl before her with an intrigued expression. The two males behind her tensed their bodies and were ready to start a confrontation.

However, with a single wave of her palm, the two males retreated and eventually returned to their own position behind, while Xiao Yin sighed and, for the first time, cupped her fist and opened her mouth.

"...I am sorry, Lian\'er. I have no ill intention toward your mother, truly believe in me. I was doing my monthly visit to see my sister\'s(marriage) condition, that\'s all".

The blue Aura that was swirling around her still did not show any sign of backing out; its light dimmed. Xiao Yin\'s voice was low and faltered for a moment, showing her deep worry.

"Mm, I see".

"...Ye-yeah, so may I visit her like usual. I just want to see how her condition was and probably stock some medicine I have in hand".

Hearing her aunt\'s persuasive tone, Xiao Lian\'s emotion falters. She turns her gaze back and notices that Xiao Bai is nodding her head furiously, telling her that what Xiao Yin has said is true.

"Madam Yin is right. She usually comes to this place to visit your mother to check her condition and give her some medicine that might cure her."

Xiao Lian\'s tensed mind lessened. She retracted the Aura that enveloped her body and alternated her gaze toward her sister and Aunt. She had so many questions that she wanted to ask, but the most important thing was, "Why now of all time?" she muttered weakly.

Once, when she was on the brink of collapse, no one extended their hand to grasp the shivering cold hand of Xiao Lian and her mother; only Xiao Rui and then Xiao Bai came second. There was no speck of sign from the other mistress of the family head; even that man himself didn\'t help her.

Her face knitted, trapped in her own swirling thoughts. Meanwhile, Soma\'s face was stoned, but inside, he was engulfed in the swirling danger that was creeping behind him. "So, it has become the same as the story. I must hasten the process. Xiao Lian!? " His eyes were wide open to see Xiao Lian\'s eyes turned misty.

Soma unconsciously grasped her trembling little hands, telling her he was here with her. The girl lifted her face and met her eyes with Soma.

"Soma?".

"It\'s okay. Follow your heart, Xiao Lian!".

Looking at his calm face and the way he sounded so confident soothed the raging waves of emotion that clouded her mind. She gripped the warm feeling on her hand and faced the wall that blocked her.

"Mm, Thank you for your attention to caring for my mother, but it\'s okay. Everything is alright now."

"I am sorry, Lian\'er. I couldn\'t quite catch your intention here".

Xiao Lian stored her blue spear and then moved one step forward. Her unwavering calm gaze slightly pushed back the intent Xiao Yin possessed.

"We don\'t need your goodness anymore because everything will be solved today!".

Everyone in the place except for Soma had a dumbfounded expression, witnessing the bravery of a single girl who rejected some goodwill from a person she claimed to be a stranger.

"Lian\'er, what are you…".

"Hoo, since when is sister Yin so care about our circumstance?".

Another third-party voice echoed, garnering everyone\'s attention to look at the source, only to find Xiao Rui and two other girls standing behind Soma.

"Xiao Rui!!".

Xiao Yin knitted her brows unpleasantly, seeing someone she regarded as an outsider. In the first place, Xiao Yin never accepted Xiao Rui\'s presence as one of her own in this place.

"It\'s been a while, Xiao Yin".

On the other hand, Xiao Rui calmly faced the woman with her head held high. She didn\'t falter even though the males behind Xiao Yin were ready to choke her throat.

"You bring another strangers into this place".

"Well, if you have some complaints, you can complain to the family head, for they were young lady Xiao Lian\'s friends she invited personally to visit this place."

"...".

The place turned quiet; no one opened their mouths until Xiao Yin sighed helplessly, turned to look at Xiao Lian, and opened her mouth calmly.

"Well then, Lian\'er. I will bid my farewell here. All of you, you can stay in this place, but I warned you to not do something inappropriate for later you will receive a severe punishment later".

After giving one last look at the group, Xiao Yin turned her back and moved away from the place before her guards followed behind her, their faces tense.

"Tch, that fox, always had that creepy mask on her face. That really disgusts me".

Xiao Rui clicked her tongue as she turned to Xiao Lian, who had observed her and the other since her arrival.

"Why is everyone here?".

"Silly girl, of course we will be here. What else do you expect?".

"Mm, no. I\'m just a bit confused. I\'m also sorry about my earlier childish tantrums."

"Well, that was truly rare to see you in that state!".

Hina interjected from behind, and Serafina also nodded from beside her, understanding her point.

"True, because you are always keeping everything to yourself so it was kind of fresh, looking at you who could express her emotion clearly".

"Senior".

The three girls began to gather up and start a small conversation that loosened the tension in the air. They began to introduce themselves to Xiao Bai, and their laughter chorused behind them as Xiao Rui watched their exchange in utter bliss.

On the other hand, Soma calmly watched them, but internally, he was still bothered by Xiao Lian\'s mother\'s condition; he cleared his throat to gain everyone\'s attention.

"Sera, can you contact Lucy to come to this place!".

"Lucy, why? She was staying in her hometown".

"No, I believe, she was with Leon, and staying in the Lin Family somewhere in this country".

Serafina\'s body flinched upon hearing Soma\'s explanation. Then, her mind began to recall the memories before she left here. A visible vein protruded on her temple; it ruined her beauty. She took out her phone and began to dial her best friend\'s number.

The phone beeped several times before the other side picked up. Upon noticing it, Serafina placed it near her ear.

{...Se-sera, what\'s wrong?}

"Hoho, how was your honeymoon with your boyfriend, Lucy?".

{Eh!?}
