The Imperial Palace of The Tolling Lands
"I have lived long and have seen much. As you live and time past by. Life lessons will present themselves to you. No one knows what the future hold. Somethings can only be learned by living and not by being taught by others since I can see what you cannot see. I can only forewarn you whether you choose to take heed to that warning. It is for you to decide. Young Liu is only thirteen years of age. However, there is a seed in him that has been planted but not watered. Be wary of planting and watering the seed of hate in his heart." Everyone in the room listened attentively in rapt attention as the Elder shared his wisdom with them and warned the Emperor.
"However, somethings in life, only fate can decide. No matter how you try to avoid certain things. The wheels of time will continue turning, and nature will determine its course.
If ever there comes a time when Liu Tián Qǔ must be eliminated. You must not fail the first time because you will never have a second time to try." Sounds of people sucking in breaths of cold air rang throughout the room. The shock of everyone was so deep they lost speech.
Seeing that everyone understood what he was trying to convey. The Elder looked over at the First Lady of Wang Royal Manor and confirmed their thought. "Yes, I am saying I see the same ability in Young Liu that Granddaughter in law has. He is capable of overturning a country, tearing it in two, and dragging an Emperor from the thrown. I've already said do not judge him by his age."
Looking back over to the Emperor, he said, "I will say it for the last and final time. If you can't win his heart, don't use him. Keep him as far away from your courts as you can and avoid conflict with him, however, if you can win his heart. No matter what unintentional mistakes you make as an Emperor. He will honor your heart. Even if it's to spare your throne and kingdom one time in regards to the respect and honor he had for you, do not take him lightly. That would be a mistake." Everyone looked at each other in disbelief and astonishment. Trying to digest what they just heard.
"Now that I've said that, I will also say this." Looking over to the Grand Prince's and his wife, he said. "Granddaughter in law, I see your worry, however, from what I can see. Young Liu is still young, and as of now, he appears to be a person who wants to live in peace. He doesn't appear to be a person who goes out looking for trouble. Young Liu won't bother people who won't bother him first. He appears to be a person who is willing to compromise and find a common meeting ground. So don't I think you need to worry about him befriending the children. Actually I think it will be a good idea to allow them to get close. The regard that develops in his heart for his friends will also extend to the family of his friends. In actuality, Young Liu's temperament reminds me of your temperament a lot." He said to his great-granddaughter in law.
Had Liu Tián Qǔ been there, she would have cried blood tears while lamenting, Grandfather! You're only saying these good things now?!?! After you burned all the bridges, now, you want to put a small thin plank over the water to see if I can cross safely ah!? All I ever wanted was to live in peace! But look at what you're doing, ah?! You are running around giving people wild ideas about killing me!? Grandfather, as old as you are, you should not do this!! You should know already, If you cannot say anything good then say nothing at all! Go still quietly in retirement and stop running around and finding trouble for me with all these wild words you're throwing all over the place, Ah!?! Grandfather, you've wronged me?!?! She would cry for being convicted without even being granted trial.

Liu Tián Qǔ may have felt that Elder Wang was going around shooting innocent bystanders, twisting words, and forcing logic. However, his discernment of Liu Tián Qǔ wasn't entirely wrong. It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. So although he couldn't have known that Liu Tián Qǔ is an adult that reincarnate into the body of a thirteen years old child. He discerned what Liu Tián Qǔ's eyes gave away. That was that Liu Tián Qǔ had an old soul. So there was no way she should be treated as a child.
The wise elder was also correct when he said Liu Tián Qǔ have the ability to quickly win and move the hearts of people and direct the emotions in the hearts of others to her cause. In Liu Tián Qǔ pass life, her father was framed by a rival in an attempt to take over his company. This sent the stocks of her father's company plummeting and almost bankrupt his company overnight. Liu Tián Qǔ was only 20 years old at the time. However, she was already in her final year in a top Univerity achieving a master's in business administration (MBA) in America. When she found out about her father's predicament, she immediately took time off from school. Went back to her country and took control of her father's business.
Liu Tián Qǔ is an extremely talented, brilliant, and innovative person. When she chooses to apply herself, the results show. Within one year, using every connection their family had and the connections she made in America. Lying, cheating, threatening, manipulating, bribing, deceiving, and exhausting every option and opportunity. She quickly dragged her father's company from the brink of bankruptcy and turned the situation around. Using the media, she changed the hearts of the people. Instead of hating and boycotting her fathers' company, they felt sympathy towards him. People even came down to the company to volunteer to help out.
Then she used the media to turn the people of the country on her father's rival. Her father's rival was an extremely powerful person, and his company was one of the biggest companies in the country. However, within one year, she pulled him down from the CEO position of his company and had him imprisoned. She did not spare him. She wanted to make sure he would never get the opportunity to hurt her father again. She used her father's company to swallow the rival's company after he was imprisoned. After stabilizing the company, she then handed the company back to her father, changed her major, and went back to school. So the wise Elder Wang didn't see wrong.
He was also correct when he said winning her heart can spare you even if you cross her. She had a boyfriend in college. After he ate her, he started mistreating her. He cheated on her with her friend. Stole her thesis, it took her eight months to complete and did many bad things that hurt her.
However, because she loved him, she couldn't bring herself to harm him. So instead, she once again change her major and moved to a different country to continue her education. She never really hated him. For that matter, she never really hated the rival of her father, who framed him. She just came and did what she needed to do to protect her family.
However, because of the hurt and distress, these two men bought into her life, a seed was planted in her heart. Only Liu Tián Qǔ was unaware of her own true heart and her strength. She only saw it as doing what needed to be done.
It gave testimony to the saying a spectator sees more than a player in the heat of a game. Simply meaning, those on the out of a matter can see clearer than those involved in the matter.
