Escape
Liao Ling looked up to the sky and reminisced about the last 120,000 years.
"Sniff. Do you know how happy I was when I saw you again?" She held up a book titled "Dream of Imperialistic Might'.
"Sniff, ha~ what a bad naming sense." Although she said that, she felt warm whenever she held it close to her chest.
"To you, it was just a dream huh? I still remember it as if it was yesterday."
She flips the cover and starts reading.

[120,000 years ago in a lower realm of a world called 'Sky Marble World']
Sky Marble World was a world that had little cultivation due to its lacking spirit energy. The Emperor of the world was a man named 'Ming Chen'.
The world was at peace when Ming Chen was on the throne and won many battles.
However, like all people his old age caught up to him. At the age of 78, he had 3 sons.
Originally he had 8 sons and 2 daughters. In order to keep families under his control, he had wed them with his daughters.
2 of his sons died in battle, 1 drowned, and 2 died fighting for the throne. Now all that was left was the 7th prince, 3rd prince, and 2nd prince.
However the 7th prince, Ming Yu was disabled due to poison at the age of 11.
His eyes have lost all sight and he was blind.
The Emperor decided that his son, Ming Yu would be engaged with the daughter of general Liao Ying. Liao Ying was a loyal man, but the Emperor wanted full control.
Liao Ying had won too many battles, to the point that if he were to actually revolt, it could potentially succeed.
Therefore, Liao Ying had no choice, but to let his 3rd daughter be the one to be engaged.

6 years passed
A man with a cloak on walked through the streets and headed towards the gates. He held in his right hand a treasure chest and on his left hand was a special pass to exit the gates.
"You can't pass through here-"
"I have the pass." He showed it and the guards checked it nodding their heads.
They held their heads up and shouted.
"She's right here!"
Guards from all over surrounded the cloaked person.
"Ms.Liao Ling, let's go back before the general notices!"
An old man wearing servant clothes urged her.
"And get married?! In your dreams!" She took off her disguise while circulating her qi and flew over the guards and rushed towards the gates.
"Close the gates!"
As she rushed towards the gates, guards kept standing in her way. She slid and jumped, but did not harm anyone.
The gates were already closing, but Liao Ling refused to give up. She used every last bit of her strength to propel herself through!
THUD!
The gates closed.
"W-Where is she!?"
She had already gone to the other side of the gate.
"Ha~ want to catch me? Take more time to practice instead." She said while shaking her head.
But just after 3 steps of freedom.
"So you're out. What took you so long?"
Liao Ling, who was as happy as the sun was drenched by cold water.
She turned her back and faced the man speaking, glaring at him.
He was standing casually in a corner where you couldn't see him if they were exiting the gate.
Scoffing unhappily, she says,
"Dad".
