The Cai family

The gates loomed at me. High up in the sky towering over me like Mount Tai. I didn't know why I felt that way. I never saw Mount Tai, but I felt it as the closest point to the heavens itself.

I had a mask and a cloak over me. I did not want to show my presence as Liu Feng to everyone. With the martial gathering, everyone in the city knew who I was. I glanced at the guards. They looked at me with suspicion, which was to be expected. Who wouldn't be suspicious of a man with a mask and a cloak?

I stepped up to them.

"I am here at the request of Young Lady Cai Lien. She requested a pill from me." I said.

"You wish. Do you really think that we wouldn't know the alchemists of the city. Just go back home and stop trying to meet our young lady." the guard scoffed while the other laughed at me.
