Ye Sa lost consciousness and the borderlands alchemist and doctors immediately go to the rescue.
Liu Qing was surprise that Li Wei only has a few external injuries. Despite that, she felt really tired and their group immediately rent a room for them to rest.
Chu Lin, Mu Yang, Meimei and Qo Shuang gathered around Li Wei's room.
"That was so awesome, young miss! You actually learned Battered The Heavens technique." Meimei spoke smilingly. With this technique, it will definitely help her young miss into battles.
"Yo, don't pinch my bruise Mu Yang!" Li Wei scolded.
"It's just a pinch! Don't your body feel hurt? You look pale. Let me make a ginseng soup. I'll be back." Mu Yang said worriedly.
"Let me help you."
Mu Yang and Meimei exited the room. Qi Shuang and Chu Lin remain.
"Thank you, Li Wei. I will never know what to do if he really wanted to fight me. I would be dead in an instant." Qi Shuang said lowering her head. She felt like she was a burden in this group.
Li gave the girl a small smile and tap his shoulder.
"No worries. You're my person, remember? I will protect you."
Chu Lin watch the interaction between the two. She felt envious to Qi Shuang that someone is willing to protect her.
"Since you're all with me. I'll do my best to protect all of you." Li Wei declare causing Chu Lin's heart to waver.
"If you trust me with your life. I'll trust my life too with you."
Li Wei was never been good with friends, but if someone want to stick with her through her journey then she will treat them good as a family.

"Queen Azillah, this is the necklace. The portal will be ready soon." Ora said putting the necklace to the Queen's hand.
The Queen nodded and put the necklace back onto its treasure box gently.
"Good. Very good, Ora."
Azillah smiled at her attendant.
"I'm glad that I can be of used to you, My Queen." The corner of Ora's lips curves into a smile. Her black eyes filled with thick malice.
'This Queen...is useless!' She thought to herself.
She's boring! Li Wei is better than her!
Ora looked at the Queen with narrowed eyes. Mind filled with disgust and contempt to Azillah.
Feeling the heated gaze, the Queen turned around and saw Ora looking at her smilingly.
Her heart skip a beat. Fear rose in her heart.
You never really know what a smile can hide...
...
Queen Azillah, Ora and the rest of the soldiers walked towards the area where Li Wei and her two servants find the portal.
Standing in front of it. The Queen watch the swirling black portal. It looks so deep. She cannot imagine how that step daughter of hers entered this space. Is she not afraid what's in the other side?
As she was thinking, she heard Ora clearing her throat, and then her powerful voice sounded.
"My Queen, the portal has open. We can enter."
Azillah nodded and step forward, her body disappearing as she entered the passage.
Ora and the soldiers followed...
11 people who are wearing their military uniforms run towards the closing passage.
"No! We're losing them!"
General Rob tried to jump to enter the portal before it closes but it was too late.
He punched the ground.
"Damn! I never thought Ora open the portal early." He said feeling regretful. He should have stayed and let his men find his Uncle---General Argon.
"Find a way to message the Great General. We will send a signal when they're back." Rob wipe his sweat. He had run miles when he saw the Queen entering a dark passage. As a 20 year old, he was the best runner from their group of young soldiers.
However, he admit that he wasn't as good as the others. As much as possible, he wanted to be fair with them. Same level, different titles, but has mutual respect.
He have watch Li Wei from afar. He wanted to help Li Wei several times. However, there was some kind of force around the Queen and her, for him to be unable to get closer.
This is a magic world but only the gifted ones learns magic and those without magic will only live with fear, work day and night, and if you're brave and has courage enough to fight in the battlefield, work as a soldier. Or worst...a slave.
They knew that this is an unfair world...
