The Empress's mansion stood magnificently atop a gentle hill, overlooking the sprawling Azure Kingdom. Its architecture blended grace and authority—soaring white pillars lined the expansive verandas, while lush gardens of blooming jasmine and peonies filled the air with a sweet fragrance. Inside, the halls were adorned with intricate golden carvings and fine silk tapestries depicting the kingdom's glory. The grand throne room was no exception, featuring a majestic throne crafted from polished jade and embroidered velvet cushions that symbolized the Empress's supreme status.
Seated regally upon the throne, the Empress herself was the very image of refined elegance and strength. Clad in an exquisite gown of deep sapphire silk, embroidered with silver threads in the patterns of phoenix feathers, her presence commanded respect and warmth alike. Her dark hair, streaked faintly with silver, was arranged meticulously with jeweled pins that shimmered under the soft lantern light. Though handsome and dignified, worry flickered behind her calm eyes.
Right General entered respectfully, bowing before the Empress. "Your Majesty, I have reported all that occurred in the court meeting today. The ministers challenged Prince Shen Yun's position but were swiftly reprimanded."
The Empress nodded, her gaze thoughtful and stern. Just then, Shen Yun stepped into the room—a sharp contrast with his youth and the traces of recent battle still faint on his face. His white hair reflected the soft light as he approached, bowing deeply to his mother.
"Mother," he greeted with a respectful nod.
Her eyes softened immediately, but worry colored her voice. "My son… I heard you were attacked yesterday. Is it true? Are you unharmed?"
Shen Yun managed a light smile, trying to ease her fears. "It's nothing, Mother. You don't need to worry about me."
The Empress reached out, brushing a lock of his white hair gently from his forehead, her voice warm but firm. "You may be strong, but dangers surround you. Promise me you will be cautious."
He nodded solemnly. "I will."
Right General cleared his throat softly before speaking again. "Your Highness, for your protection, I suggest you accept my daughter as your personal bodyguard. She is skilled and loyal, and it will serve both your safety and our families' alliance."
Shen Yun's red eyes flickered coldly as he responded in a low, measured tone. "General, do not forget your place."
The Empress's expression shifted sharply as her voice chose firm resolve over tenderness. "Shen Yun, you are the Crown Prince and bearer of great value. The way you treat those around you reflects on the entire royal household. Respect is not weakness—show honor to those who serve you, or you risk losing more than just allies."
He met her gaze, a brief flicker of understanding and restraint crossing his eyes. "I understand, Mother."
The Empress rose gracefully, signaling the conversation's end but leaving an unspoken charge in the air. Shen Yun bowed once more before silently taking his leave, his thoughts already turning toward the challenges ahead.
Empress ask when your returning to Azure sect. Shen Yun say he next week mother. then Right general and Shen Yun come outside together from empress mansion. they're walking together. Shen Yun suddenly Stop walking and say because of you mother scold me. remember next time this happened again your whole family, he stop saying then smile you better what will happen right Right General?. Right General say yes crown Prince.
As the conversation in the Empress's throne room began to wind down, the Empress's voice held a gentle but pressing tone. "When do you plan to return to the Azure Sect, my son?"
Shen Yun glanced toward his mother, his expression steady. "Next week, Mother. I will leave once I have made the necessary preparations."
The Empress nodded approvingly, a hint of relief softening her features.
Shortly after, Shen Yun and the Right General stepped out together from the grand mansion into the crisp afternoon air. They walked side by side along the garden path, the scent of blooming flowers mixing with the faint murmur of palace life around them.
Suddenly, Shen Yun stopped mid-step, turning to face the General with a teasing glint in his red eyes. "Because of you, Mother scolded me harshly today," he said, narrowing his gaze playfully.
The General raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued as Shen Yun continued, "Remember, if this happens again, your entire family will face the consequences."
Before the words could grow heavy, Shen Yun's sternness melted into a sly smile. "You do realize what that means, don't you, General?"
The Right General chuckled heartily, nodding with respect. "Indeed, Crown Prince. I will keep that firmly in mind."
The two men shared a moment of camaraderie, a bond forged through loyalty and mutual understanding amidst the palace's intricate politics.
Shen Yun was thinking to going library to read a cultivation book. when was walking toward library he was struck with one women. Women drop her books that she borrow from library. He help her to keep her things than both of them say sorry and bow suddenly and again when they their head struck with force. Some girls calling that girl so she gone. then Shen Yun go inside the library.
As Shen Yun made his way through the palace corridors, his mind focused on the cultivation books he planned to study in the grand library. The thought of unlocking new techniques stirred a quiet excitement within him.
Turning a corner, he suddenly collided with a woman coming from the opposite direction. The startled woman dropped the stack of books she was carrying, pages fluttering like scattered leaves.
"I'm so sorry," Shen Yun quickly said, crouching to help gather the fallen volumes.
The woman's cheeks flushed as she reached for her books, and together they carefully stacked them. "Thank you... I should have been paying more attention," she replied softly.
They simultaneously bowed as a sign of apology—and accidentally bumped heads with a gentle thud.
Both winced and chuckled awkwardly, "Sorry!"
Before they could continue, a group of girls called out the woman's name from further down the hall. She glanced back briefly, then hurried away to join them, leaving Shen Yun watching her go.
Shaking his head with a small smile, Shen Yun adjusted the books in his hands and stepped into the quiet, cool expanse of the library, ready to dive into his studies.
Next day Shen Yun sitting in chair was reading the book in the library and she also come their, She sit chair in front of him she was reading a book about fire fist technique. Shen Yun notice her and ask her name. She say before asking someone else name you should tell your first mister. Shen Yun smile and tell him his fake name. she also tell her name.
The next day, sunlight filtered softly through the tall windows of the grand library, casting gentle rays over rows of ancient books and scrolls. Shen Yun sat in a sturdy wooden chair, engrossed in a thick tome detailing advanced cultivation techniques. His crimson eyes scanned the pages with focused intensity.
Suddenly, the woman from the day before entered quietly and took a seat in the chair opposite him. She opened a well-worn book on the Fire Fist technique, her fingers tracing the illustrations thoughtfully.
Shen Yun's gaze lifted, curiosity sparking in his eyes. "May I ask your name?" he inquired politely.
She glanced up, a playful smile curling her lips. "Before you ask others' names, mister, you should tell me yours first."
A faint, amused smile touched Shen Yun's face. "Very well," he said smoothly. "You can call me Jiang Lei for now."
Her eyes twinkled with interest. "I am Lu Yan," she replied, returning her attention to the fiery martial arts text.
A quiet understanding settled between them as the afternoon sunlight bathed the library in a warm glow, two cultivators silently sharing the beginning of an unexpected connection.
