Xia huaqing looked at his reflection in the soul mirror in daze. He couldn't believe that the reflection in the soul mirror is his. The long silvery hairs, the immature face without any scars, the dark black pupils which are full of life, which hadn't lost its sight.

He dazely touched his face which is as beautiful as beautiful jade sculpture. His lively eyes turned misty as they kept on staring at their own reflection.

Xia huaqing the son of the only ancestor of xia family xia chuting. His status remained unparalleled in Xia family because of his father. He was a very proudy, arrogant young master. His heart full of devil while his face full of innocence, he always treated himself as superior.

But this proudy, arrogant young master will die a very horrible death. His once arrogance will be trampled thoroughly. This young master will slowly lose his mind and will be withered. These lively eyes will be dug out. His limbs torned apart, this stunning face burned until it no longer resembled that of a human.

Xia huaqing knew well that he couldn't blame anyone for his own demise. He was the one who was responsible. He even made others die due to his crooked mind and heart.

He was a narrow minded and vulgar person. He never understood what it meant to have such a prestigious position in his clan. He only took it for granted.

His heart pained when he saw with his own eyes how his crooked mind doomed his whole clan. He was surely an ungrateful person.

As his mind churned with the events that happened in the past, a gentle voice travelled to his ear from outside. A young male dressed in servant's attire walked in with a wash basin in his hands.

The young male had a slightly thin body, with a small scar on his face which destroyed its delicate features and turned his face a bit ferocious. But that beautiful smile returned the gentleness of the whole face.

It was such a contradictory sight. When silent and no expression, his face looked ferocious. But when a gentle smile adorned that ferocious face, it was akin to gentle lotus blooming amidst the warm water.

This young male is the slave he bought a month ago. It's been a century for xia huaqing since he saw the gentle young man who once protected him at all cost.

For him, this young man was just a slave but for this slave, he was akin to a great benefactor. He never understood certain emotions. 

Like for him this young male died, he felt as a slave he must but even if his mind said that, his heart pained and felt as if he lost something important. After a long time of his suffering, he understood, his heart pained because unknown to him this little young man had become someone whom he liked as a friend.

He missed that gentle smile, those nagging words, those caring gestures. He understood late but he was sure this person was important. 

Now time has reversed, bringing him back to his 16 year old self. He still hadn't made any big mistakes, his loved ones are still living. More than his own horrible demise, he resented himself for the harm he had done to those people who liked him, loved him, treated him with care.

He was so full of himself that he never saw others care towards him. After the painful time, he missed them, he resented himself for being blind.

But he got a chance so that he could change this tragic fate of others and his own.

Lin qi glanced at his young master sitting in daze before keeping the wash basin on the table. He walked towards the young man helping him wash his face before saying " Young master, elder yan will return today from the higher world. He is bringing back a young beast. I heard from others that all the disciples can participate to tame the little beast. You should participate too."

Lin qi sighed in his heart. His young master has no interest in all these things. It made his heart distressed. If only his young master could show some interest then it will be good.

Xia huaqing felt warm as he heard the same nagging tone of lin qi. It's been a long time since someone cared for him. It feels so sweet.

Xia huaqing hummed in response which stilled Lin Qi a bit. While making the hairs of his young master, he hesitatingly asked " Young master...agrees?"

Xia huaqing nodded in response before curling his lips upwards and saying " You will participate with me as a team."

The jade comb in lin qi's hands almost fell down as he heard him. After grabbing the comb tightly he decisively refused " Young master.. I am just a servant, not a disciple. You should participate with someone else."

Xia huaqing laughed as he replied in a firm tone " Who told you, you can't participate. I have asked my father to let me adopt you as my younger brother. He had naturally agreed. As an adopted son of the Xia family you have more than enough rights to participate."

This time the jade comb fell down with a thump sound as Lin qi widened his eyes. He stammered " You..young master.. you shouldn't… I am just a mere slave. Becoming your servant is more than enough for me."

Xia huaqing shook his hand turned around and pouted looking lovely " You can't refuse! After elder yan comes back, father will announce this!"

Lin Qi who was stunned still wanted to argue but before he could, he only saw his young master jumping down from bed and wearing his shoes in the most ugly way and flying out on his spirit tool.

He was left alone in the room as a gentle breeze entered the room bringing some cherry blossom petals along with it.

Meanwhile xia huaqing who was the initiator of all of this was flying at a high speed towards the cloud jade peak located at the forbidden lands of xia clan.

Only elders and the individuals who are called can enter this cloud jade peak. But without the will of the owner , even these people can't enter the main entrance of cloud jade peak.

Only exception is him. He could go anywhere in forbidden land and enter the cloud jade peak anytime. The barrier around the cloud jade peak recognizes him as the other master.

His father, Xia chuting, is already 4000 years old. He had established this Xia clan in the Longua continent. He had only one descendant and that is him. Due to this status, he was extremely arrogant in his past life.

Moreover his relation with his so called father was not that great. He mostly ignored him. It worsened when he accidentally discovered that he is not the real son of his father. He was adopted by him and given this real son identity in order not to wrong him.

His father was really one of a kind. He was so gentle towards him, so willing towards his demands and always spoiled him rotten. After discovering the truth he unknowingly distanced himself from him. He was only 8 when he discovered this fact. 

After discovering this fact, he hadn't stepped here all this time. His father always cultivated in this place and seldomly left this place. His father was full of mysteries for him.

But from past life incidents, he knew well that this mysterious father of his dearly loved him. His poor father's soul was obliterated because of his damn self. 

He still remembered how his father protected himself from the calamities of heavenly dao and took the strike himself.

Xia huaqing entered the cloud jade peak crossing the barrier easily and felt the great vitality of this place. He walked towards the bamboo forest taking in the smell of nature filled with spiritual powers.

His mind cleared, his heart felt less troubled. At the end of bamboo forest is a little palace made of jade. A beautiful pond in front with golden carps and a fountain. The variety of lotus blooming magnificently making the pond looks ethereal.

Along the pond is a pavilion, from where beautiful music of guqin could be heard. Xia huaqin stood stunned as he looked at his father immersed in playing the musical instrument.

The face looked like that of a young man who is in his 20's. Even though he is 4000 years plus but still so young and handsome that can make anyone envious of him.

The long black hair,  the casual blue white robes, those beautiful fingers, that aura around him. He is akin to a fallen immortal. So beautiful and enchanting yet so gentle like a blooming lotus.

As compared to his father's immortal beauty, he is more like a wild enchanting beauty. His father seemed as if the whole world can't sully him whereas he is like a burning fire. One is ethereal the other is enchanting.
