4 Hidden agenda

Duchess Fen Liling watches in horror as her daughter suddenly fainted next to her, "Lu Huo, bring Baiyu back to her room! Diqiu, go to Yixue Hall together one of the watch guards. Look for Physician Yao. The two of you, stay with your mistress for the time being. I will be there once everyone leaves here."

Lu Huo immediately carries the unconscious Bao Baiyu back to her room with Yangzi and Yushui following her closely behind.

The guests at first were shocked when they heard the royal decree. The eldest miss of the influential Bao family has just celebrated her fifth birthday. Like any 5-year old in their Kingdom, she is supposed to undergo the cultivation test as the Three Elders and the crowd will watch what will her attribute will be. Many expected her to be as talented as her gifted parents but, some wishes that she will be just a piece of nothingness due to their grudge against the Bao family.

Who will ever think that the elusive Quanheng Sect from the Celestial Realm suddenly comes into the picture? No one heard anything about this. There is no sign whatsoever. Even the Bao family members are completely shocked by it.

Why did the infamous Elders of the Quanheng Sect want Eldest Miss Bao as their first disciple? It is a quite well-known fact that, within Quanheng Sect, other than Dark Lord An and Light Mistress Guang, there are eight more Elders. All of them are disciples of the founder of Quanheng Sect, Ancestor Zu, who is said to be more than 100-year old but he still has a childlike appearance of a 12-year old. Amongst his disciple, Dark Lord An and Light Mistress Guang are said to be the strongest disciples.

Dark Lord An is said to be one with an exceptional appearance with dark and dangerous aura. He never smiles in from of others including his master, Ancestor Zu. Light Mistress Guang is said to possess a beauty that can destroy a nation. Whenever she appears, the world seems to lighten up with her seemingly sparkly appearance. Both have been called as the "demon" and "fairy" of Quanheng Sect and always together due to their differences that balance one another. When Dark Lord An reached his 17 years of living, Ancestor Zu suddenly instructed him to marry Light Mistress Guang who is 3 years older than him. He agreed without making any fuss. It has been 10 years since then but, both of them are still without any children. Some said that it is a loveless marriage. Some said that Light Mistress Guang is terrified of Dark Lord An. Some said that it is just a marriage in name only.

All these years, Quanheng Sect did recruit new disciples but only the remaining Elders took disciples by secretly recruiting them personally according to their liking. Ancestor Zu no longer interested in worldly matters and live in seclusion for more than 5 years now. Dark Lord An and Light Mistress Guang never even once take any disciple and concentrated fully on cultivation practice.

Why now? Why must it be Eldest Miss Bao? They never heard that the 5-year old girl is gifted in any way. Everyone is racking their brains to thinks the reason for this extraordinary move by the powerful marriage couple that represents the Yin and Yang of Quanheng Sect of the Celestial Realm.

Somewhere inside the imperial palace, the Emperor is sitting on the Dragon Throne while deep in his own thoughts. He did not have intention to send his oldest son to that place in the first place. On the face of it, he treated Duke Bao as one of his closest confidantes. But, deep inside his heart, he loathed that man. The reason for his hatred? Fen Liling, the former disciple of Manyue Sect. She was meant to be his but that man just swooped in and took her away from his reach.

On the spring of 6 years ago, he planned to propose to her when Manyue Sect and Xiongwei Sect are having the annual Spring Festival. This festival is for disciples from both Sect to get to know each other and, above all, find their life partner as it has always been ever since 100 years ago. Disciples from both Sects requires to marry one another, that is the rule sets out by the founders of both Sects.

He has fallen in love with her when he first saw her during one of the fight competition and has set his eyes on her for more than 10 years. He wanted to marry her and, make her the empress of his Kingdom. But, during one fight competition, she saw that hateful man. Everything has gone downhill from that fateful day.

He has known her for more than 10 years and she even called him affectionately as 'Senior Brother Li' ever since they first met when he is a 10-year old and she as an 8-year old. He treated her with kindness and love and their masters even thought that they were meant to be together. His hope and love have been crushed by the appearance of Bao Biming.

7 years ago, Bao Biming followed the then Duke Bao to the fighting tournament as honoured guests. The love of his life has fallen deeply in love with Bao Biming who he has once considered as his best friend. Upon knowing that he and Bao Biming are friends, she keeps asking him to invite the latter to any organized events by both Sects.

A year has passed, and he thought nothing of the love of his life of being quite nice with his closest friend, Bao Biming. Not even once he has ever suspected them of being more than just friends. Maybe it is his fault for not being upfront with her from the very beginning but, she has gone against the rule by running away with Bao Biming during the Spring Festival.

His unfulfilled wish. His disgruntled heart. The sense of betrayal... All of it is caused by both of them whom he once considered significant in his life. He loves her but, at the same time, he hated her ignorance as well. As for Bao Biming, there is nothing but hate.

All these years, he pretended to be quite a magnanimous ruler but he wanted revenge. Their daughter will soon be Quanheng Sect... He thought that today will be the day for that family to face his well-hidden wrath.

A few months after running away, she told him that she has already married Bao Biming and pregnant with their first born. He smiled and gave her his blessings but, he has planned a sinister plan to destroy the Bao family.

One of his concubines is a disciple of Dark Sect which is famous for their dark alchemy. He instructed her to make a potion that will destroy one's dantian that will prevent that poisoned individual to cultivate. During the full moon celebration of their firstborn, he pretended to take a look at their daughter and gently pour the vial of potion into the small mouth. No one knows. Not even her parents as the potion will only affect and destroy the baby's energy centre and that makes her a thrash. He knows that both Bao Biming and Fen Liling are proud individuals.

If their firstborn turns out to be a thrash of them will be severely disappointed and ashamed. He intends to take his revenge slowly and gradually by using Bao Baiyu. He wanted to destroy that family and Bao Baiyu will be a good start.
