The Legend of the Guardians of the East Gate
Ch. 71 - Man without destiny

38 Years after the death of the Eastern Gate Guard.

Jade Palace, before the majestic building that was almost entirely made of jade, stood on top of the peak

A woman was on her knees, in front of an empty singasana, her whole beautiful fingers seemed to tremble, her normally proud face now vanished without even looking so depressed, her eyes closed so fiercely full of helplessness, she said, the breath that was held made the magnificent hall so silent.

The woman had been kneeling for several days, although only alone but her life could be taken in the next second, making her always try to survive in the pressure of uncertainty, because anyone who sits in the singasana is destined to have power after God, who is crazy for blood.

And that woman was none other than Counselor Ming who was now like a soulless body, only able to kneel without a fight, her self who was the best firebender felt her entire body freeze, as the cold air began to infiltrate the spacious room.

Snowflakes began to enter the hall, and more and more, spinning in the air and out of nowhere, the soft-looking snowflakes formed thousands of lotus petals.

the petals swirled over a singasana, and from the sidelines of the petals began to look fine hair as close as night, the brownish-colored clear eyeballs gazed at the direction of Counselor Ming, who was not at all, the red lines in her eye bags add to the beauty of those eyes, while making her look like a sick person, and in just a matter of seconds a woman who possessed heavenly beauty was already standing before the singasana in that main hall.

Counselor Ming who was still closing his eyes lowered his head until his forehead touched the jade floor.

The front door of the main hall was opened, and more than 100 women of various generations entered, and three men entered the hall they formed a line according to age and rank, and they were the only ones in the hall, the line went in on the right and left of Ming's adviser, the three men knelt behind Ming's Counselor, and all approached the women in the singasana, everyone kneeled down and congratulated the woman.

"Congratulations, the Sovereign has already completed closed-door training and broken through to the level of a late stage saint cultivator, I am ready to serve you," Advisory Ming said in a voice so forced as to look calm.

The woman sat with her legs crossed and propped up her chin with her right hand that looked like snow.The woman smiled full of satisfaction looking deeply at Counselor Ming.

"Except Madame Ming, all out! tell the three supreme Elders of Jade Palace I will face immediately," said the woman with a half moon emblem as big as a bright blue pinky tip on her forehead. The 100 women and three men walked out of the cold-impressed hall and left two beautiful women who now looked the same age.

The woman sitting at the singasana flexed her fingers, making Counselor Ming's body float and draw closer to the woman who looked 35 years old.

"You look pale, like you're not in good health," said the ruler and now in front of Counselor Ming and his two fingers touching the forehead of advisor Ming made the ruler able to gaze at a glimpse of the hidden soul of Counselor Ming.

Counselor Ming opened his eyes, but the female ruler had already returned to her original position, her head getting lowered, only Councillor Ming's eyeballs glanced to the side, her hands clenching, her head clenching, the nails of her beautiful fingers pierced her palms until they bled.

The woman called the Ruler smiled full of scorn,

"hahaha....say if an astrologer is no longer able to read the future?no, Ming Lan, you're not okay" the woman said.

Counselor Ming closed his eyes deeply, as he clenched his teeth, in fact the age of the female Ruler was much younger than his, as well, Counselor Ming remembered very well when he escorted the 9-year-old girl into the jade realm gate two eight years ago.

And after 28 years the little girl is now back and looking so grown up, and calling the name of Counselor Ming by his name straight away, he said, no one knew exactly the difference in time in this realm with the jade realm, but to become a late saint realm cultivator required at least 700 years.

"haha... Angry does not solve problems, meet people who do not have destiny, then your problems will be resolved soon" said the Ruler.

"Ruler, does any human being have no destiny? the sky has set every living thing to have its destiny, even babies who die in the womb are dragged in the destiny of the mother," said Ming's advisor staring at the face of the Goddess.

The goddess only smiled faintly, though,

"I didn't force you to trust me, but ever since that person appeared your strength had weakened, for the far ahead, your gaze began to blur, and, you can only see the next year, there are even some people you can't see at all" said the goddess.

"I'm sorry Goddess what should I do if I meet her?" ask Counselor Ming.

"I don't know, after all you're an advisor, you should know better, now that I'm back, I've prepared all my needs, I have to prepare to meet the three supreme Elders," said the woman approached the table in the corner of the room and picked up her black badge as a child, and opened a large door and some servants had bent over preparing her clothes, even the door had not been closed the woman had taken off her clothes showing her beautiful back with skin that looked so healthy.

Advisory Ming's body slowly landed on the floor, his entire body covered in ice, and quickly closed his eyes before completely freezing.

"That crazy woman froze me, with the fire element of mine it took me at least two months to melt this ice, a man without destiny?" inner Counselor Ming, his side teeth were almost shattered from docking each other.

The news of the Jade Palace's ruler's return having been empty for 500 years, making the Qing Empire's palace in an uproar, the empress's singasana emptying ceremony was about to be held, all the higher-ups and the palace elders were obliged to attend. it seems that the empress did not mind at all when this plan was in the meeting right in the grand hall, and the empress became a grand concubine, a position that was deliberately vacated and filled in during the current situation.

It seemed that the event would be held so lively and full of sacredness, that some holy Monks from the Golden Lotus Sacred Temple at the North end would be brought in to lead the procession, because the sacred temple and the Jade palace are so close since antiquity.
