5 The Big Shots Arrive (1/1)

6 YEARS LATER

DUAN KINGDOM

IMPERIAL PALACE

LING COURTYARD

In a beautiful courtyard were three people all with white silver hair. They were surrounded by bright green grass and colorful under a cherry blossom tree at the foot of a pond as coy fish swam. It was quiet and calm as they all gave off a holy feeling as if they were gods enjoying the beauty of nature. The one in the middle was a pure goddess her serene and motherly smile would strike ones soul to the highest of heavens. To her right sat an 8 year old girl but others would call her a fairy that descended from the heavens. She was sitting next to this goddess with her long silver hair over her shoulder as she laid her head on the goddesses shoulder. To the goddesses left sat a 6 year old boy with a purple lotus surrounded by a sleeping dragon. He looked like a young god thats been sleeping for centuries as he laid his head on the goddesses lap as she brushed his hair. The entire scene was soul shaking making a person want to avoid looking for fear of tainting this godly scene with their eyes.

During these 6 years our Mc has lived life quite comfortably. He hasn't began his cultivation but he has started tempering his body with herbal baths and exercising in the core world with the one shadow clone he's able to create. While his clone does all the work on the inside he's been reading about this new world of his with the extensive books in the Imperial library. He's also hailed as a genius after being able to walk and talk at one years old. He even convinced his father of a few modern evolutions such as the sewer system, toothpaste,soap,shampoo and even perfume. Causing him to make a lot of money off the woman in the kingdom. He's also suggested to his father to found a police force that protects and gives justice for the citizens. He did this after seeing the slums when his mother,aunts and elder siblings took him to the lake just outside the capital for a picnic. He told his father that the police force will take on all complaints filed by the citizens and that he should hire people from the slums. This was actually another money making scheme on his part. He created a police uniform for the force as well as ranks and allowed them to do as they wished even with people of the four families and two associations. This was hated by those factions so they tried to suppress them but the police force fought back and ended up putting up shop in every city in the kingdom. But what really shocked the kingdom was the laws the police force put up especially the 4th which was no forced marriage. This was Duan Ling Tians own law he personally put in as he didn't like this custom especially after finding out his mother's situation. Funny enougha young miss of the Xu family filed a complaint and had her father fined for trying to force her to marry. She was of course banned from the Xu family but joined the Police Force where her cultivation sky rocketed leading to the Xu family trying to bring her back only to go back embarrassed at the loss of a talent .This police force not only stabilized and boosted the kingdoms income and safety it even turned the slums into a presentable area especially when Duan Ling Tian introduced apartment buildings and using metal,brick and concrete to the construction of buildings.

Aside from that and reading he's been enjoying his time with his family he was surprised to see how close the family is. Even his mother and aunts got along really well even sharing the same title as Queen even sharing one bed with his father. He found out the guy was quite the smooth talker and wondered just where he got it from since his gramps is quite docile with a lioness grandmother. His siblings are nice and treat him like a treasure. The only downside is having to wear a mask until his 6 birthday. He was upset at first but realized it was only outside but that changed when he was attacked by an older maidservent who couldn't control herself. However before she could even touch him she was being dragged away by a hidden guard. Since then he's had to wear a mask all day unless he was around his family only. At first they would all be stunned by his looks and even get slightly turned but they've become numb to it now.

A few days ago he gave the entire palace a scare when he suddenly disappeared from the dining table. He was kinda heart broken for doing it especially seeing his mother cry it broke his heart. He ended up telling them that he accepted a master who gave him a bunch of techniques. He gave them to his father saying that these can't get out especially the Seals of the Uzimaki clan and the Seals of Root the shadow clone technique and also ways of qi control. Once my father new the functions of the Seals he wanted to immediately put them on his subordinates while also gaining more since he didn't have to fear leaks but was stopped when I showed him the 5 absolute heal pills. Once I told the functions my mother cried as everyone consoled her.

Now is the day of my 6 birthday the day I get shown to the public and take off my mask although after taking it off I'll put it back as I'm to handsome. As I lay on my mom's lap I hear footsteps coming and open my eyes my mother notices and looks up from brushing my hair. My elder sister also opens her eyes as we all look forward. Sure enough the person to enter is my father coming to get us for my birthday banquet. He looks at us for a minute in a daze as we all smile he comes back and shakes his head saying ”no matter how many times I see this scene I still feel as if my soul has been taken away.”

My mom and sister giggle as I sit up lazily with a cheeky smile and say”father I must say this son apologizes. I mean my looks are simply too awe inspiring but you must not worship my looks you must try to reach higher level of a beauty my dear father” by this time I have already stood up with one hand behind my back and another touching my chin as I lift my head slightly and try to keep a serious face. with My short height and chubby cheeks it makes for a very comical sight.My mother and sister are tremblingwith puffed up cheeks trying not to laugh. My father has black lines on his scrunched up face shaking slightly as he says” you damn brat are you trying to call this daddy ugly hmp I'll have you know this daddy is quite the looker you shameless little brat.” At this point he was truly a little angry as he says internally 'fuck who taught this brat to be so shameless'

I look at my father with a teasing face and say ” yes yes father is indeed an ok looker. well anyway is it time yet” my father was about to speak until he hears manager Fu say ” Your Majesty General Mo, General Xu, Lord Su, Lord Ling, Association Head Gu, and Association Head Bu As well as the various other nobles have arrived. Shall I get the maids to serve tea.”

As he finished my father mother sister and I all revealed amused smiles. My father said ”yes serve them tea the really good tea” then he looks at us and says to me” come on put your mask back on the Big Shots have arrived and the play is about to start. Hmm time to see just what your elemental affinity is are you nervous?”

I ignore the question while I put my mask on and look at my father as he helps my mother and sister up and say arrogantly” Hmp why would this young noble be nervous hmp you'd better make sure to breath when you see this young nobles talent hmp” I say as my silver sways as I walk away with my hands clasped behind me and my head slightly raised leaving them stunned before my father erupts in a fit of curses.
