36 Depart
When Hou and Lily returned to the courtyard, Mother Bing was waiting for him there.
Mother Bing looked at her maid before the maid carried a small package and placed it on the table.
Mother Bing opened the package and passed two old perfectly preserved golden scrolls to Hou.
She gazed at him with a warm smiled and said.
"Hou, Now you've grown up, You must learn our family heirloom skills."
"As of tomorrow, You'll start your journey to gain experiences around the Ice Empire till you reach 13 years old. After, come to the Imperial Palace City at our main Liu Clan to meet me there."
Saying that Mother Bing forced herself to stop from sobbing however her eyes were misty.
Hou quickly rushed into her bosom, hugging her.
After a while, Mother Bing calmed down and picked a token. It engraved with Liu along with many ancient texts and unknown symbols, forming a tiny formation like the same token used for auction. However, it was in dark red coloured.
She passed it to him while saying.
"This token same like before using for the auction house anywhere in the empire however you can spend 10,000,000 gold more instead of 1,000,000 gold."
Mother Bing took out the ancient sword, another old golden scroll and a pouch then threw at Lily before saying.
"Learn that skill soon and use that sword to kill any who dares to harm Hou."
"Also, on that pouch has 10,000 gold for the journey."
She kissed Hou before reluctantly left for her room.
Hou wiped his misty eyes while staring at her leaving figure before his eyes shone brightly.
He glanced at those skills scroll in his hand and flipped the first scroll.

After reading, Hou channelled all of his fire Qi into his body before taking a dashing leap, however, he stumbled and did a faceplant in the ground.
He quickly stood up and rushed into his room before Lily could say anything to him.

After reading it, Lily contemplated while sitting on the ground.
Before long, she practised and showed some progress signs.
However loud noises kept on reverberating inside the courtyard, like someone tripping on the ground, disturbing Lily from practising.
So she helplessly shook her head before sprinting and leaving the courtyard.
Next morning, Hou and Lily left the clan through the gate, while Mother Bing, grandpa Zong and the grand elders silently watched them disappeared.
Finally, their figure left the sight, Mother Bing wiped her tears before looking at grandpa Zong.
"Father, I am also leaving for the Imperial Palace City today."
"Take care of yourself."
Afterwards, she too left without looking back. Grandpa Zong just sighed before returning inside the clan.
