The Ancient Rare Phoenix: Colourful Flames - Chapter 18
Back at the Jia Clan Mansion,
A Few maids and servants were carefully selecting stuffs like books, scrolls, cloths, alchemy resources materials and packing them for miss Nina.
Nina was gazing outside through the window. She felt very sad and lonely knowing that she was going to leave soon, leaving her father alone. She then thought she should at least enjoy her remaining days and started planning to visit Hou before she depart.
Suddenly she caught sight of her father returning then shrieked and started running out.
Jia Kong looked very haggard with messy hair and cloths along with blood stains covered on his chest. He saw his daughter coming at him then sighed.
Nina looked at her father in tears and sobbingly asked.
” Father, what happened? who did this? ”
Jia Kong raised his right hand and starting explaining.
When Nina heard it, she looked at her father incredibly amaze by her father action then angrily said.
” Father, how can you do this to me? also isn’t Hou just a baby? I do adore him but I still just see him as a weird baby. And this still doesn’t explain why you are in this state? ”
Jia Kong complexly looked at his daughter and he hesitatingly about mother Bing’s words without disclosing about her identity and how he ended up like this.
Nina became totally speechless and completely daze. She knew how Hou and grandpa Zong were so arrogant like they didn’t see anyone above them, yet Mother Bing’s words were so arrogant that put her above on the top of all. No mother in this empire would say that her daughter-in-law had to be Sovereign Mortal Realm to be qualified as his concubine. She finally started to think Hou’s arrogant behavior might be just normal.
She looked at her father who just calming explaining that got her very puzzled. No matter how strong Liu Clan was, her father wouldn’t just get himself humiliated and defeated, given his personality he should be retaliating for few days before finally calming himself down. She looked at her father angrily and asked.
” Father, don’t you feel humiliated by her words? why do you look so calm? ”
Jia Kong looked and loudly answered.
” Of course, I felt humiliated and ashamed about it. Even though Liu clan is just a branch here but her words stands as same as main Liu Clan from Imperial Palace City so there is nothing I could do and just have to bear it for now. You should go join your aunt at Rain Forest Clan and start working hard. Once you reach at Sovereign Mortal Realm, I’ll tell you all about your mother. Also that time we’ll pay another visit to Liu Clan. ”
After saying that he left toward the inner part of the mansion, while Nina just silently nodded clutching her fists when she heard him say mother.
————————————
Jia Kong stood nervously at the sealed garden inside the inner part of the mansion watching the shadow silently meditating and slowly absorbing the heaven Qi from the nature. After a while the shadow stopped and looked at him without speaking.
When Jia Kong saw him looking at him, he shuddered and trembling said.
” Mother, You were right all along about Liu Clan. They’re deeply connected to the Royal Family. In fact I myself saw the decreased Empress Bing today who is actually daughter of Lui Zong, when I went to discuss about marriage proposal for Hou. While I did not succeed due to the strong refusal of Empress Bing but she said as long as Nina reached Sovereign Mortal Realm, she’ll consider as Hou’s concubine. I also did not inquire about anything about Empress Bing being there, fearing I might offend and break our relation with them. ”
Shadow was pleasantly surprised and smiling said.
” Well done, finally we found the way to Monarch Zhu legacy. Even though there was no record of having a second child of Empress Bing. You should still keep close an eye at Hou and maintain friendly relation with Liu Clan. Also send message explaining everything to Mei that she must let Nina reach Sovereign Mortal Realm as soon as possible. ”
Jia Kong nervously nodded before dubiously asking.
” Yes Mother, But is the Monarch Zhu legacy that powerful to let us to go back into the Mid Mortal Realm Plane again. ”
Shadow angrily looked at him and said.
” What do you know? 1,500 years ago Monarch Zhu singlehandedly barged into the Mid Mortal Realm Plane then loudly declared if any Sovereign or above tries to intervene in the Lowest Mortal Realm Plane, He’ll wipe out all Monarch Mortal Realm from the Mid Mortal Realm Plane. Even after 1,500 years no one has dared to intervene here in the lowest Mortal Realm Plane. If they do, the Guardians guarding the Monarch Zhu legacy will do anything to wipe them all out from the Lowest Mortal Realm Plane. So you can imagine what kind of legacy has Monarch Zhu left behind for his descendants. Only reason we’re staying alive here, was the favor given to asylum here when needed, given by Monarch Zhu to our Ancestor for being loyal to him. ”
” Anyway you should stop worrying about that and complete what I told you to do ”
” After all you’re the most anxious one to return back in Mid Mortal Realm Plane.
After saying that, shadow closed her eyes.
Jia Kong bowed at the shadow and left from there.

At the Liu Clan
Hou was looking in the skies in daze while sissy was pouring tea for him.
Finally recovered from looking and he said.
” Sissy, Lets go to the Wind Cloud Tavern.
Then he started hopping around before jumping up on sissy’s back.
Sissy helplessly started walking slowly.
