Lai Fen is an old guard that is loyal to the Wu clan. When the first lady, Wu Zhihui was born. Her father assigns him as her bodyguard. A job that he took very seriously, even when the lady lost her talents.
It won't be weird to say he saw her grow up and with no child of his own, he thought of her as his own flesh and blood. Though such thoughts are very disrespectful to the living parents of the lady, he still could not help but feel them. As such he looks at the masked man walking close to his lady while talking.
He could not help but be suspicious, he knew that this man is Xiong Ming. That he lost to his lady and its second place in this tournament. He just had a bad feeling about this man. He soon turns his eyes to his work partner, a young woman in her 20s like his lady.
Yu Huan is the lady's personal female servant, here to keep her lady conformable and beautiful. Growing up with the lady, the two of them are great friends, almost like sisters. To Lai Fen, this was his second daughter, a bit more tomboyish than their lady.
"Boi, might I know why Xiong Ming is talking to our lady?"
"Augh, how am I supposed to know old man?"
Lai Fen could not help but shake his head at the young lady's cruel way of speaking, she truly has no chance of getting married at this rate.
"You should really change the way you talk if you wish to win over that flower lady"
Yu Huan hearing that response once again, could not help but blush deeply.
"Shut up old man…"
Lai Fen giggles a bit at seeing the blushing child. But his eyes once again focus on Zhihui and Mor's conversation, they clearly were not close. Seeing the distance, they keep from each other. Soon the group enters a VIP room reserved for them.
The Wu clan and the sect they lead it a strong force close to Quhai Free City. As such to keep close political relationships, any member of the Wu clan is given VIP luxuries when in the city. A perk that comes with being a strong force in this area.
As the group enters the room, Mors and Zhihui take a seat in the beautiful hand-crafted red color chairs. Their view focuses on the fight that will soon happen but neither of them truly cares for it. Not being the only ones, as everyone else could care less about this boring fight between normal cultivators.
Yu Huan got right into the action, serving her lady a drink and some light snacks that were provided by the colosseum staff. She did it with love and care, doing things that she knew her lady will enjoy. But when it came to serving the guest, Mors, she did it with no feelings.
Of course, she still shows off her perfect skills to not make her lady feel shame. As she finishes serving both, she goes back to the wall. Standing close to the door with Lai Fen. As servants, they must be able to respond to any situation as fast as possible.
The newlywed couple started to talk as they look at the fight.
"Time to continue your story Mors"
Zhihui said, biting into one of the sugar cookies presented nicely on a porcelain plate. Mors takes his mask off, as he takes a sip of the steaming green tea. As the flavors spread across his tongue, he let loose a soft smile. He could not lie; he really enjoys his tea.
"Oh, you are right. Well as to why you might have not heard of me from the future. It's simple, I am from a very faraway place. But for some reason when I die, I found myself in this place with a working body"
"Working body?"
"Yea let's just say before being burned alive, I could not move my legs"
Zhihui looks with open eyes at Mor's legs, she could not forget the way he moves them when fighting. Almost like a beautiful dance. But as she digests the new information, Mors spoke.
"Now that we are married and know about each other darkest secret. What are your plans? Are you trying to change the future?"
Zhihui nodded her head, happy that Mors is smart, and asked the right questions.
"Yes, after this tournament, we will be dealing with a problem that if left by itself will deal a lot of damage to my sect and clan"
"Alright, what problem are we dealing with?"
"An [Old World Corruption], a new form that was later called [Mind] corruption"
"..."
Mors looks at her like she was speaking gibberish. Such things as [Corruption] never appear in the game and none of the books he read in the library talk about it.
"By the look on your face, it seems like I have to explain it to you"
