Letters to a child I never knew
1st Exchange: Power imbalance

1st Exchange: Power imbalance

From: Lady Ye

To: The Honourable Inner Elder Gu Heng

Honourable Master,

as instructed I have evaluated the slave girl personally. Her character appears docile but with erratic tendencies. No violent behavior has been observed.

Despite this we hope, as we reported in our last report, for her relocation at the soonest convenient time. Our adjusted estimate has once again proven faulty.

We do not have the means to control a cultivator at the late qi gathering realm. Judging by the analysis of the lave girl's bath water and her letters to your honourable grandson we expect her to rise to the body soaking stage within days. We pray that your honorable grandson surpasses the slave girl's talent and brings honour to your distinguished clan.

As instructed all attempts of the slave girl to contact your honorable grandson have been burned.

The slave girl appears to have developed an obsession with spinning. Please convey your instructions regarding this tendency.

She has further written a letter to her ancestral home and wishes to send it with her spindles and thread attached. The assessment has proven the spindles to be low grade artifacts, despite being made of mortal grade wood. The thread barely qualifies as lowest artifact grade.

Both thread and tpindles are imbued with enhancements for purification of qi.

Please instruct us on how to proceed.

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

May your cultivation forever soar and your name be spoken wit reverence in all worlds.

Your loyal servant,

Ye Lan

Master appeared appaled at the lack of respect for filial piety - suggested your respect for Master prevented you from acting without approval and your suggestion was meant for personal inspection before the letter is sent.

Volcano Grass: okay to work with, seems to be overwhelmed by my qi and eat my qi, thread quality is high

Bronze Wool: really hard to work with, seems to fight my qi, quality is low

Cliff Grass: really hard to work with, seems to fight my qi, quality is low

Lake Spider Silk: really easy to work with but qi gets sucked up by my qi easily if I'm not careful, quality ranges from low to really high

Grassland Grass: really easy to work with, seems to be strengthened by my qi, very high quality Thread

Is it okay like this?
