Warning

[no one's pov]

3 am.

The whole kingdom is asleep and it's a chilly night at the kingdom.

"We have to stay alert,the youngest prince was threatened,so it must be a sign of an attack" said by one of the kingdom's guards.

they have their own swords out and ready,and at the bottom of the sword's handle is a gem with an image of A Heather flower,which symbolizes protection and the casing of the sword has gems of protection and strength,every cultivator,guard,night hunters and royals of fengjin has these gems as amulets bracelets and accesories.

7:30 am(training is resumed).

[ in the huang's manor]

"your majesty,we had compiled 20 secret attacks from our cultivators,disciples and villagers and even guards,and the locations are near the palace,and gladly, no one was hurt nor slayed' general huang spoke.

his majesty took a look at the map bowl, a unique type of map his father created,a big bowl of glowing water can be used as a map showing the navigations of every area and perimeter of the desired territory.

and can only be controled on who ever wears the Huang clan's belt of leadership.

and can also be accessed by the key of flowers,created by the late grandmaster of the clan and who is also fengjin's 2nd leader but also the chief general can have access to it and owns it!

" the kingdom's security walls and towers are all activated,but the only thing that we need to investigate is where and what route do these random puppets entering and how can they go undetected by the amulet?" king yuzhi said.

"we are currently investigating on it and making sure every civilian in town is prepared for an urgent evacuation and possible mass attack in the future" said the general.

"ok,i need all of our kingdom's doctors to ready up their supplies and leader night hunter to prepare his troops,ill contact clan leader wang and king wu to prepare in case these attackers involve them nearby" king yuzhi said.

"in your order,your highness,we will also locate all possible entrance routes of these attackers in and out of the kingdom,we will give you reports soon,may we take our leave" the general said and saluted before the king gave him his leave to go.

[in the palace]

" i have a sort of bad feeling" the boy beside xianye spoke.

"why?" he asked.

"King huang yuzhi told my father to prepare for the possible attack on fengjin,and maybe we will also get attacked,since we just near" young childe wang said.

" Wang chen,dont be too worried,besides your clan is an annex of fengjin,since your dad was a former disciple and allowed the huang clan to annex his new clan right?" xianye spoke with his kindest comforting tone.

And the younger nodded.

"If an attack would start,I guess it might killer over 50 people because Puppets are strong depending on how powerful their master is or how powerful the spiritual element that controls them" the person came out of now where,Scaring the 2 boys's butts off.

"Holy Flowers,Huang Xiao can you not?" Xianye said in a Frightened and Shooked voice as he exhales all the threats in his lungs.

"Can I what?" Huang Xiao replies.

"Stop, With your thoughts,Gosh,I cant believe how deep and dark your thoughts are,It creeps the soul out of me" Xianye said.

"Well,What if you die and in the afterlife you are so confused if you are going to heaven or hell so you just stay in the middle of the 2 gates just thinking if one of the gates will open,but you are just there sitting and waiting to be reincarnated because none of the gates opened" Huang Xiao said.

"Aight,Im out,Bye" Xianye said and walks for his life.

"Oi-yo-Senior prince Huang wait!" Wang Chen stumbles chasing the older.

Huang Xiao just sat there with a pout.

But his eyes turned into a fire glare when Source of his hatred appeared before him.

"What are you looking at?,weirdo" The boy spoke.

"And why are you looking at me?" Huang Xiao spoke back.

"Because you are looking at me" The boy replies back again.

"Then if you could have just walked away,I wouldnt be here stabbing your soul with my eyes?" Huang Xiao talked even more sassily.

"Eh?,I can make your eyes roll back to your head and Yell for mercy" The boy threatened with a smirk.

"Hah,you think I'm scared?,So what you gonna do to make me roll my eyes?,Use a possession spell? A reverse spell of a Exorcism talisman?" Huang Xiao spoke.

"Maybe i can do it in physical,Lets see if you will scream" The guy said and smirked wider.

"Hah,Make me" Huang Xiao grinned.

And the two Stared at each other intensely.

Meanwhile.

They didnt see Xianye's presence(3rd wheel alert).

"Uh...Huang Xiao,Why are you talking to the best playboy of our batch?" Huang Xiao spoke startling the two.

"What?,ah,Im killing his soul with my eyes,So he can leave me ALONE!" Huang Xiao intensely said.

"Well you cant make me leave your life Bae,Ill always be around" The guy said.

"Oh shut up Dao Dong-wen,And stop flirting around and be serious in cultivation,I cant believe you are part of the training program and also part of the Huang clan." Huang Xiao said and rolled his eyes.

"Well atleast im not your relative so i can have you" Dong wen said which made the people around them widen their eye sockets in shock.

"Well the tea is suprisingly Magnificent today" Xianye said and sipped his tea while making faces away from them.

Huang Xiao kept silent for a whole 10 second before standing.

"Shut.up" He glared intensified more.

"Be angry all you want Hun" Dongwen said and walked away.

"I-...DAO DONG-WEN I HATE YOU SO MUCH!" Huang Xiao yelled with a face steaming in pinkish red.

"Have some tea Huang Xiao,Its better than the tension you have with that guy,hes a playboy so just dont fall" Xianye said and gave Huang Xiao a cup if ginseng tea.

[Sanwol]

I was in the archery area of the training grounds when a Disciple from the Lan clan aproached me.

"Nice shot Prince Lee" The disciple said and smiled.

I bowed and continued on shooting.

"I see you are a silent prince" He said.

I placed down my bow and decided to speak with him.

"Im just not used to talking much,Young master Lan" I said.

"Oh yeah this must be the 1st time we had met,I am Lan Yuan-Bui,Young master of the lan clan,And you dont have to introduce yourself i already known you" Yuan Bui

Sanwol bowed his head as a response.

"Oh,um do you perhaps have a Nickname?" Yuan bui asked.

Sanwol thought about it for a second and said.

"No,In korea,Nicknames arent that used of,We call each other by our names" Sanwol said.

"Oh in that case,i brought here a friend of mine who is also from korea,we met during a hike accidentally" Lan Yuan bui said and appeared behind him is a boy 3 inches shorter than sanwol.

(He and the korean guy will converate in korean)

"Kim Myeon-geum?!"sanwol whispered.

"Yo!,Sanwol-ssi!" Myeon geum walks towards his childhood friend.

Sanwol was stunned in his position as his childhood flashed before his eyes as he saw his childhood bestfriend.

Myeongeum was in tears as he hugged his Old time Best friend.

"God,Sanwol,I thought you were killed by The invaders" Myeongeum said as he sobs in sanwol's shoulders.

Yuan but is trying his best to hold back his tears.

"I..." Sanwol went in complete silence as the emotions overwhelm him, The reunion that he never once thought of came true all of a sudden.

speechless and shocked, sanwol just hugged his long time no see a friend.

The two newly reunited friends sat down and had a heart-to-heart conversation about what happened in the past, But sanwol is still this stubborn and close person.

"Sanwol...I've noticed that you changed a lot," Myeongeum said with his face full of concern.

"When you were just little, you were this shy kid in the corner just watching the other kids play, but until I met you, you were very talkative and high energy, Where is that Sanwol?" Myeongeum spoke.

"Myeon...I can't tell you that but all I can say is, I had changed for the better of our clan" Sanwol said.

Myeongeum just stayed quiet and just nodded and agreed.

Lan Yuan Bui Was invited to join in their conversation for a getting to know each other moment.
