Chapter 1 - 1.The Beginning (1/2)
”Madam, hang in there! The baby is coming out! Just push a little bit more!”
Set aside the manners, the mid wife kept talking to the lady that covered in cold sweat. The white sheet was covered in blood and water.
”UGGHHH”
The lady gave her last push.
”Madam congratulation! It is a young miss!”
The mid wife and the maids cheered gleefully whilst showing the little baby to her mother. Before the mother could touch her daughter, a maid suddenly burst into the room.
Maid: ” MADAM, THERE ARE ASSASSINS! QUICK TAKE A PROTEC...”
A slim silver metal went through her heart, stopping her from finishing her words. The maid dropped to the ground when the person behind her pulled away the silver metal in her heart.
The other maids and mid wife immediately on their defense mode, they quickly stood in front of the tired lady and the maid that was holding the little baby, shielding them from the .
Maid: ”Protect madam and young miss even if it cost our life!”
They create a magic barrier around them but luck was not by their side, one of the assassins appeared beside the maid that was holding the baby, and disappears together with the maid and the baby.
BANG!
”Qing er!!”
A tall man barged through the door and sprinted towards the lady. He supported the pale lady and anxiously asked her.
Tall man: ”What happened?! Are you okay? Where is our baby?”
Maid: ”Master! Young miss was kidnapped! This slave is useless, the assassins are too strong. We couldn't block them!”
The mid wife quickly explained to the tall man with tears streamed down from her eyes.
Tall man: ”What?!”
Before he could scold the maids for being careless, a soft hand firmly hold his strong and big hand.
Lady: ” Tingfeng, you must find our daughter, I managed to put a spell on her, as long as she is alive, I can feel her lifeforce.”
The lady weakly said to her husband.
Tall man:” Don't worry, I will definitely find her, you need to rest now.”
The tall man left the room after he gave his wife a gentle kiss on her forehead. The lady went to a deep sleep while her lips whispered ”My daughter...”

Assassin: ”Sh*t! That Xu family is as strong as master said.”
The assassin managed to slip away from the residence, he killed the maid and took the baby with him. The 19 expert assassins were killed by the great general, leaving him alone with heavily injured body.
After running for 4 hours, he could feel their presence getting closer and closer to him. He looked around and decided to hide the baby in a well at the nearby village. He put on a magic barrier on the well so they couldn't feel the baby's presence, he picked a thick wood and wrapped it with the cloth that the baby used. He ran to the opposite direction from the well.
