Separation!

"Nothing! I just remembered I have something else to do!"she replied as she retreated in a happy mood. 

Situ stood on place alone complaining as he observed the figure of Xiaohe slowly walking away.

"What is she happy about?"

"It's time to go and see father and mother. They claimed to have something important to tell me!" Situ walked the opposite of Xiaohe's direction.

****

"Dad! Mom!" In a small garden, FengXian and My Qingzhi were calmly relaxing when Situ appeared.

"Mm!" To his greeting, they just responded lightly. Clearly showing signs of dissatisfaction with his interruption.

Situ's father was seated on a bamboo chair, while Mu Qingzhi was seated on the ground with her head laying on his lap.

When he saw them like this, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

'Are this couple trying to flaunt off their relationship or something? Their child is just before them, and they don't even have any ounce of proprietary.' 

Even though he was complaining inwardly, he still shamelessly sat close to his mother, who was being fed some fruit.

"So! Son, what wind blew you here so early in the morning?" FengXian was indeed resentful, or at least that was what Situ thought as he looked at the old man's eyes.

From the moment Situ arrived at this garden, Mu Qingzhi had shifted most of the attention she was giving him to Situ.

'What a stingy old man! All I did was just sit down, do you have to become passive aggressive with me already?' he was complaining but very relaxed and unwilling to move.

"Didn't you guys mention that I should look for you today? You claimed to have something important to tell me!" Situ was cleaver worked around this issue.

"I thought you would show up after breakfast, but turns out I was wrong!" Mu Qingzhi spoke with a soft smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

"Hehe! I thought he would show up at dinner." Indeed he was jealous.

"Son! We wanted to just talk to you about some important isssue. You might not always be lucky to have the two of us with you." FengXian's words made him cinfused.

"The thing that worries us, however is the danger you light face by just living in this world. To protect yourself you have to walk the path of extraordinary people." FengXian clearly wasn't playing..

"How dangerous can it be? What extraordinary people?" Indeed. In the past four years things have been too peaceful for him.

When he heard his parents talk about danger, instantly became alert.

From everything that happened to him at the end of his previous life, he knew he was ignorant.

Having more knowledge was not a bad thing,. especially in this world.

With the efforts his parents put in to make him read and memorize universal principles that seemed vangue and profound, he could tell the world was probably more than meets the eye.

The word dangerous however never crossed his mind, until his parents brought it up.

"Let's not mention this! In this future you will learn this by yourself. Perhaps you can determine how dangerous the world really is." FengXian didn'tseem that interested in this topic.

"Your mother and I have taught you alot of Scriptures and Universal Principles, make sure to take your time to ponder over this principles in the future deeply. The benefits are not small." FengXian seemed to remember something and mentioned this.

*****

Life went on, and everyday, other than being taught some knowledge on creatures as well as treasures. Situ also had to recite the Universal Principles and before he knew it, five years has flashed by.

On this day, he woke up as usual, expecting to pass through the similar routine, but looking at the carriage he was sleeping in he sobered up real fast.

The first thing that came into his view was the letter and opening it, he realized his parents indeed where responsible for his current circumstances.

On the side, Xiaohe was still sleeping, and that in itself was abnormal.

'Is this what they were always worried about? The danger ther spoke of couldn't have anything to do with this right?'

Situ rushed out of the carriage and looked around anxiously.

He wanted to leave, but to his shock, he just moved less than fifty meters before he hit some kind of barrier.

He couldn't cross it. Looking at the carriage tracks, he seemed to finally understand what was in the letter.

He wasn't relieved in the slightest, rather his expression was of worry. He couldn't go back, but he letter clearly stated that from now on he had to not just be wary of beasts but also the human heart.

Being someone had lived his second Life how could Situ Feng not able to understand this words. The meaning was very simple, he had to be wary of everyone since people change under different environments and circumstances.

Sitting alone on the ground with a helpless expression, he heard movement from behind him.

Turning his head, it was Xiaohe. She was dressed in bright red Chinese Hanfu.

He didn't focus his eyes on her, rather his gaze only lingered for moment before turning his head away.

"Little Feng! What are we doing in this place?" The first sentence that came from her mouth.

Xiaohe was someone he grew up with and his parents never really told him about her origin, but he always suspected it wasn't simple. Even the scriptures and Universal Principles were taught to her by Mu Qingzhi.

The treatment she heard was much better than even that of someone like him.

Situ also discovered from the very beginning that the way she carried herself was different, especially for a child. In the Feng Manor, she was the only one that dared to call him little Feng and when she was being sarcastic Young master.

What he also figured out was that the kids the same age rarely had to play. They were being forced to memorize the Universal Principles and scriptutes.

He turned to face her and then replied, "Not sure! Do you know anything?" 

She shook her head.

"Well it seems that we are on our own, but mom and dad left us a hint. The statues in the temple?" He turned to look towards the decapitated temple.

He was not calm at this moment, as he felt his life was not on a path he couldn't predict in the slighest.

Situ recited the Scriptures and Universal Principles trying to calm himself.

"Nature is everywhere... Inaction is eventually action! Movement ..." He recited some Universal Principles and calmed down.

Looking around, nothing stood out as compared to the temple and he decided to head up, before turning towards the carriage.

Xiaohe was busy starting to clean the entrance of the temple, and he had to stop her, "Xiaohe! Stop that for now. It is not like we have nothing important to do. Let's see the situation in the temple."

"But young master, this place is very dirty, I can't just ignore it." Xiaohe didn't want to stop.

"Okay! Suit yourself, I'm go into the temple and check things out.

As he approached the temple, back in some distance two figures were hidden and observing and if Situ could see them he could be shocked as they were his parents and his mom, who had some relief but sadness at the same time.

"Madam! Our son is able to adapt so fast, I'm impressed. It seams that all our years of training are not in vain." FengXian commented.

Clearly this couple had been watching Xiaohe and Situ all this while from since they woke up.

"It's time to go. We should give our child the time required to grow." Speaking of this, even the voice Mu Qingzhi had become more resolute.

"Calm down! Let's wait until he manages to her his hands on the things hidden in the statues." FengXian was sure his wife was reluctant to leave, but also afraid she might act impulsively.

A black sedan chair seemed to manifest before the couple, just as they were discussing the issue if leaving.

*By Decree of Seven Human Sovereigns* 

The moment this words appeared on the surface of the Sedan chair, they already knew it was impossible to delay any longer.

They hesitantly entered the sedan chair and the words on the decree turned into golden light covering the entire sedan chair.

"Boom!" The moment, the sedan chair turned into a golden dot that vanished off into space.
