chapter : 05

' Luo mei... hmmmm... new name..new identity...new family...complicated world. sigh~' luo mei lied on her big bed as she thought of the current things that happened.

As she was rolling in her bed and going to sleep because she felt extremely tired, grandpa luo was holding a meeting. At the leader's seat grandpa luo sat as he played with a chess piece. He had a faint smile on his handsome face. The long black hairs and the mature face showed no sign of aging but the pure handsomness of the man. The three young masters were also sitting uptight. An eldery man with white hairs was sitting at the left of grandpa luo as he carassed his long white beard. His eyes hold extreme intelligence. An uptight man of age 27 to 28 with millitary aura sat on grandpa luo's right. His rought hands as well as as a scar on his left side of face completely shows that he is active in battels.

Two men dressed in black stood at the back of grandpa luo. The whole room was silent as grandpa luo spoke " All of you already knows why i held meeting right!"

The eldery man sneered as he said" Do you really want to send your grandaughter at that devils competition with the grandsons of yours!"

Grandpa luo on noticing the mocking in elder's voice raised his brows as he asked" Why you got a problem?"

The eldery man in anger replied" Its only 6 months later! She doesnt even knows what cultivation is! Do you really want to smear on luo family's name?"

Grandpa luo kept the chess piece on the table as he replied" I want to pave a way for her but atlast it depends on her! I want you all to make her ready for the competition 6 months later.Any of my descendant arent useless even if they are trash."

The elder man hummphed" Master luo, i can help but if she cant even reach the boundary for qualification then dont blame me."

Grandpa luo smiled sinisterly" You all just put maximum efforts. I have no objection for you all being harsh on her. I think she will work hard. Who doesnt want to get stronger and respected!"

The elder man didnt said any further as he left the room before saying" call her here in morning!"

The man who was sitting on right just bowed as he left.

Luo yi spoke " Grandfather is it necessary to push her hard!"

Grandpa luo sighed" You three might not have noticed but if we dont sooner or later, she will become our weak spot!"

Hearing the words nobody spoke any further.

....

In the forbidden forest of fire kingdom, a bright red light kept on shining in intervals illuminating the dark forest. The red light shone near a lake but the beasts in the forest didnt dare to be around that place. The light was attractive but held a pressure. Finally the red light shone valliantaly and it almost reached the sky when it slowly started decreasing.

A man dressed in violet appeared out of thin air at the place where the light shone. The man was gritting his teeth as if enduring a great pain. Bright red blood flown from the corner of his mouth. The black cascade like black silky long hair dangeled with wind. His sharp and purple eyes along with a bright purple lotus mark in between his eyebrows made the full appearance like a god. His pale lips that he was biting was the only thing that showed that he is in pain.

The man leaned on a stone nearby as he cupped some water from the lake before drinking it. After some time the pain seems to subside as he looked at the bright moon in the sky.

He then suddenly heard a voice. The voice was crisp and clear and felt as if an elder is speaking. The man narrowed his eyes as he heard the voice in his head " You failed the third time shinzhe! Instead of punishment you choosed to reverse time using your powers! But remember, this is the only time you could have used this power and the consequences you can see for yourself."

The man didnt said even a word as he heard the voice. When finally nobody spoke in his mind he sighed. His eyes had a complicated feeling of sadness along with detestation. His eyes was then filled with determination as he spoke" This time i wont choose. I wont be hasty. Even if my soul gets destroyed completely then also i wont take the stakes if i amnt sure."

His voice was filled with bitter sadness along with a strong determination. The night was extremely long for the man. As the morning arrived the man washed himself in the lake before changing his clothes from a luxurious violet robe to a common coarse cloth of cream colour. He then tied his hair in a simple pony with a simple wodden hairpin on his head. He then took out a simple mask that covered his right half side of face.

He looked at the image of him in the water. He seems handsome but ordinary. The aura fron night seems as if it has dissapitated only leaving a ordinary aura. He then solemnly walked out of the forest.

......

As the morning arrived luo mei who was dreaming was mercilessly woken up by a maid. Then she was made to washup and get dressed. She was mumbling all the time as she walked towards a place where the maid was leading her" Whats wrong with everyone! I was having a good dream only to be awoken by devils. hmpphh.. my soft bed, my sweet dream... that old man is despecible."

As they reached a big door, the maid stepped aside as she gestured for her to enter. Luo mei entered the room as she saw a big empty hall and eight people in there. Threee were her brothers, then the grandpa luo but the rest she had no idea. She lazily walked towards grandpa luo as she spoke" Why you called me this early old man!"

Grandpa luo smiled sinisterly. Luo mei on seeing the smile had a bad premonition. Then she heard the grandpa luo speaking" Luo mei this is elder zhu a proficient blacksmith."

Luo mei only nodded towards the white long beard old man.To which the elder seemed furious but grandpa luo looked satisfied.

Then grandpa luo gestured at a man with a scar on his left side " And this is commander bai yuan."

After which he gestured towards the two person dressed in black clothes" And these are ye sha and ye shi proficient in assasination."

Luo mei only nodded towards everyone as she looked questionally towards her grandpa. Grandpa luo on seeing her questioning looks said in a solemn voice " luo mei, today i introduced these people to you because i want you to learn from them. Dont you want to be strong and be respected?"

Everyone then focused on luo mei as the latter only yawned before saying in a determined tone" Old man i dont need respect neither i want to be strong, so i will go and sleep then. Thankyou old man for thinking this all but its ok, i dont need."

Everyone who heard her words almost coughed up blood. Why wont they! Who doesnt want to be respected or be strong!

Grandpa luo then furrowed his brows as he said" Luo mei you know that without being strong, you will die in some years soon. Dont you want to live longer?"

Luo mei only replied" No. I only want to laze around or eat or be happy. Thats all. I dont wish for long life neither i am worried about dying!"

Everyone was flagstabbered as they heard her. In this time who has these simple wishes of being happy, eating or lazing around! Who are not afraid of dying! Who doesnt want to live longer! Grandpa luo's expression turned grave as he spoke" Xiao mei you dont understand. The world isnt good as you think. If you dont get stronger you sooner or later will be the one to be targetted by them!"

Luo mei furrowed her brows before smiling" Grandpa dont i have you and brothers. I promise i wont look for troubles. You dont need to worry. I really want to live a common life."

Grandpa luo looking at the little girl sighed as he said" xiao mei i cant be everywhere with you neither can your brothers. You cant predict future neither i can. If you really want to eat, sleep and laze around then either you do what i am saying now or i will lock you up in the punishment jail!"

Luo mei's eye widen as she heard her three brother saying in unison"Grandpa!"

But grandpa luo coldly glanced at them as he walked towards luo mei before leaning towards him and sneering" xiao mei.. Do you know what is punishment jail? I will tell you.. Its a place where all the punishments are carried out. A very damp and dark place. There wont be a single day when you wont hear the pained voices of criminals locked there! If you have done a little crime and made to stay in punishment jail for a single night then the next day when you comes out, there wont be a single place where blood wont be oozing out. And if you are locked for months then for sure your bones will be crushed slowly then remaid then again crushed. This process will continue endlessly. And you know what... Be it a boy or a girl we give equal treatments to both."

Luo mei gulped her saliva as she shivered on the thought of breaking and joining then breaking and joining of bones again and again. She looked towards the man with a bit fear.

Grandpa luo then tilted his head to left as he smiled" Do you want to go there luo mei! You know what, the members of luo family are treated more harshly there. I will give you today to be ready for tomorrow's training. If you have objection then i will personally escort you to punishment jail." After which he laughed sinisterly as his eyes sharpened.

Luo mei shooked her head as she spoke hurridely" Old man no need for your efforts. I will be here for training tomorrow." After which she ran away from hall as if her tail is on fire.
