"Li Wenhua!!! Quickly hand over that Yin Yang Book!" Li Wenhua looked back, a group of elders from the sect chased after him not far from behind.
"No will! Till death I swear I'll avenge my parents!" Li Wenhua used the Thousand Feet technique to speed up his pace. Now he was quite far away from those elders.
However, his heart rate increased when he realized that in front of him there was only an abyss that stretched out. Li Wenhua had no choice.
He jumped.

"Qiao Rong!" Concubine Shu cried loudly. He noticed the face of his daughter lying lifeless in the courtyard of the pavilion.
Suddenly, his daughter opened her eyes slowly. "Ohhh!!!" Consort Shu was so shocked that she collapsed unconscious. While Li Wenhua who opened her eyes felt very strange. This is not my body, her mind.
She wore an expensive silk royal dress that was now full of mud. Li Wenhua had yet to ask any questions, but her head was flooded with unfamiliar memories.
Qiao Rong's. The 7th daughter of Emperor Qiao of the Wen Kingdom. The lame princess who had no protective spirit even at her 16th age. Her last memory was Princess Lan pushing her so hard that her head hit her own pavilion pillar.
Li Wenhua was furious given that. How the poor fragile girl was treated by her surroundings. He could not forgive those who had done such cruel things to the girl whose body he was in now.
But he remembered his mother, Consort Shu who was currently lying unconscious next to him. The head of the ladyboy who had just come immediately shouted hysterically.
"Mrs!" The lady-in-waiting kept rushing to run and yelled out to the other lady-in-waiting to help her move Consort Shu.
Li Wenhua could only be speechless seeing Consort Shu being carried by the servants. He was still not fully aware until the head of the ladyboy approached him. "Anu.. daughter, if I may know, what happened to Consort Shu?" The head of the lady looked confused. Just now he wanted to call the healer to check the condition of Qiao Rong who was lying down, after he came it turned out that even Consort Shu had fainted.
"That's it. I don't know either. After I woke up, mom had passed out next to me." The head lady-in-waiting nodded, not daring to ask any further, then asked a lady-in-waiting to escort Qiao Rong to his room.
After walking for so long, Li Wenhua's headache lessened. He also became more understanding of what had happened to Qiao Rong. He felt very sorry.
Arriving in the bedroom, Li Wenhua ordered the entire lady to come out of the room. He stared at the bronze mirror. Qiao Rong was very beautiful, unfortunately the birthmark of the flower on her forehead made her unsightly.
Li Wenhua now fully understood the condition of his body. He also understood Qiao Rong's fate. That girl, her body meridians were perfectly sealed, that technique was what caused this birthmark to appear. A simple trick that is certainly done by someone with malicious intentions.
He was so grateful to have a second chance at life. Although he does not know where and when exactly, but he will live.
And Li Wenhua made the decision for the rest of her life.
*****
Qiao Rong decided to address the issue of the seal in his body meridians first. That way he would be able to more freely cultivate like his former body. He told the servants to block anyone who wanted to visit for the next three hours.
"Haaa. this little trick, of course, a little boy can finish it." Qiao Rong started. He opened one after another the seals on his body's meridians. Qiao Rong finished exactly two hours later, the time it took turned out to be shorter than he expected. He felt his body lighter and fresher. This seal was what made this little girl used to suffer so much from not being able to cultivate. It should start now that the birthmark on his forehead will shrink and fade.
"Someday I will take revenge on the man who sealed this body." Qiao Rong swore. Then he tried to remember. The year Qin 196, so remember, Qiao Rong was very surprised. It means that more than 1000 years have passed from the time he lived. There was some suspicion on his mind, such as how easy the seal was on his body, and why no one was aware of it.
Then Qiao Rong walked out of his room, and recognized the familiar face of the ladyboy in front of him.
The dayang was named Chu Yue. From the memory of Qiao Rong's body, it turned out that Chu Yue had been with him since Qiao Rong was nine years old. He was extremely loyal and kind-hearted, therefore Qiao Rong always gained gentleness and warmth when together with Chu Yue. He regarded Chu Yue as his only friend in life.
"La-anu.. Her Highness.. Consort Shu has been awakened. It's waiting for you in the pavilion." Ah, that place again, Inner Qiao Rong.
Qiao Rong immediately rushed into the pavilion, he brought Chu Yue with him. From a distance, the look of Consort Shu who was sitting and drinking tea worriedly.
Qiao Rong bowed. "Mother." Then Consort Shu gave him a sign to sit down. Consort Shu looked confused as well as worried. Her daughter, who she thought had died, suddenly opened her eyes. Qiao Rong's arrival was indeed to explain the true events, but he could only concoct a little story.
"I know what you want to ask. But all I remember, was a little bit.I remember my head hitting the pillar. Then everything went dark. Suddenly there was a very bright white light and it kept on illuminating me until I woke up." Consort Shu's eyes twinkled as Qiao Rong explained.
"Thanks heaven! Yes, it must be him! Good thing you're okay, son. At least you got the mercy of heaven for having lived such a difficult life." Concubine Shu looked moved to the point of wanting to shed tears. Qiao Rong who saw him was eager to laugh. Maybe his mother was stupid, or just very grateful that her son could come back to life. But then he remembered how warm his mother's embrace was defending him in front of the Emperor when everyone made fun of him for not having a protective spirit.
In this world, the protective spirit was indeed an important matter. The types and types of protective spirits were more or less able to be said to measure one's strength. Even the Crown Prince himself has a protective spirit in the form of a white tiger. Therefore, he could gain his current position. But Qiao Rong was sure, this body that he had sealed off, it would definitely not be long before that protective spirit would appear because he had already sensed the presence of spirit energy. Normally, a protective spirit appeared when a child was twelve years old. But until now, the spirit of the protector Qiao Rong had not appeared yet, which is why he became the material of the people's banter.
After chatting for longer, Consort Shu finally returned to her pavilion. Qiao Rong returned to the room and brought Chu Yue back. In fact, the entire ladyboy in his pavilion looked at them cynically upon returning. But of course it was because of Qiao Rong whose status was considered low because it was not considered by the Emperor at all.
Qiao Rong ignored them, all this time the maids had not dared to make a move on him because Consort Shu was always in control of their behavior.
Qiao Rong told Chu Yue to take out some cultivation books in the royal library, Chu Yue initially felt confused, but still did so according to Qiao Rong's orders. Qiao Rong started to open the books. But he was very surprised to see the information written there.
In this world, cultivation levels were divided into four levels. From the weakest to the strongest are the Earth, Moon, Sun, and Heavenly levels. Among these levels there are three phases, namely the initial, intermediate, and final phases. To his surprise, the highest cultivation expert in Wen Kingdom had only reached the Intermediate Moon level.
"Hmm. surely cultivation in this world has greatly decreased from a thousand years ago." Qiao Rong was somewhat disappointed, he thought with the difference of a thousand years, he would have a greater challenge. Whereas, a thousand years ago, most elders had already reached the Heavenly level. Meanwhile, he himself reached the Intermediate Sun level before he jumped into the abyss.
Thinking of that, Qiao Rong suddenly recalled something. The Book of Yin Yang ! Li Wenhua clearly hugged her as she fell down the ravine. Why is the book missing now? Was it the book that caused his soul to enter this body?
