1 Young miss
Yinan empire, Menglong city of Wuming prefecture.
The sun is shining and giving off waves of heat to the populace of this city. In the second floor of an auspicious restaurant on a certain street , a woman with a beautiful face and white skin sat by the window overlooking the street, a man who looks like a bodyguard stood behind her.
"Young miss, is there something special you are looking for here?" A flat but powerful voice came out from the man.
"Black iron, I just really like the atmosphere here and would like to relax here." a voice ringing pleasantly like bells come from the woman.
"Keep in mind that you have an appointment tomorrow evening with the neighboring family" the body guard black iron replied.
"You need not worry, I will be sure to attend"
As they are chatting the woman's eyes glowed bright blue, the other patrons in the restaurant did not notice this because she positioned herself, such that nobody can see her how her eyes glowed in the restaurant not even black iron who stood behind her.
When she was 8 years old she accidentally fell into a lake, at the time she was playing with a friend at the nearby lake near her house, they were both running around near it so when she slipped she immediately fell into it. What can a kid do to help a friend who was drowning on a deep lake?, not much if they jumped in they both would just drown, not to mention her friend was also unable to swim.
She thought she would die that day, but Fate had other plans. As she sunk deeper into the lake she heard a voice, the voice said that she had an unbelievable hidden ability that can take her to the peak. The voice said that it would help her open that ability, in return she would come back to the lake when she was strong enough to help the voice free itself.
It seemed that the voice is someone or something that is sealed at the bottom of that lake. As such she awakened this ability, with it she can see most things others can't. She can see what a person is dreaming, the inside of a secret area within her family house that is protected and hidden with a strong formation. She can see if someone is poisoned with the most undetectable poison. She can also see different unique particles floating around every person she met, but currently she know not what that entails.
She was sure there is a lot more secret to this eye has that she didn't know about, since she hasn't been able to leave the city she was born in ever since she was little. The records she read in her family does not mention anything about the ability that she has, there maybe more information on another family's or other sects records.
She looked out onto the street looking at every face that passed by, the passerby's did not notice her gaze. just as she was about to leave, she felt an intense chill.
Suddenly waves of blinding golden light filled her eyesight from a certain direction, the golden light engulfed a certain area of the street filled with stalls selling all kinds of food. She knew she is the only one able to see this since everybody around her didn't react to it. But the golden light only lasted but for moment before disappearing.
"What?"
She blanked for a moment before immediately looking in the direction where the golden light came from. There was nothing peculiar over there, then she noticed someone gazing at her from that direction. A young man you can see everywhere, he stood still and was drooling a bit while looking at her seemingly enraptured by her beauty.
'just a pervert'
she continued to look around but nothing seems out of place, After an incense stick of time she still had yet to see anything peculiar on the street, neither did she feel that chill from before.
"Young miss we can't stay here any longer, we still need a bit of time to travel over to the neighboring town" black iron sounded again
The woman let out a snort of contempt.
that said appointment is actually marriage talk between her and the neighboring family's young master. her family is using her as a chess piece to build a connection with that family. not to mention that young master had a bad reputation for being a good for nothing. And shouldn't it be the man that comes to the doorstep of the bride?.
But the neighboring family is much more powerful than her own family, her despicable family is using her to curry favor. 'this family is repulsive!' the woman thought
She had amazing looks but alas, after being checked it turns out she didn't have much cultivation talent, she would not make it far in her cultivation journey, so she can only be used for political marriage. even black iron, her so called bodyguard is actually just a person to keep her in check, the family does not want her to run away and ruin their plans.
With the ability that her eyes have, she was sure that her cultivation talent will be something that can be fixed in the future. that good for nothing young master is not worthy of her, once she become strong enough she will show the family that she is not a woman that can be used on their whim to make connections.
Her eyes burned with passion, with time she will be able to stand at the top of the cultivation world and nobody will be able to control her.
*sigh*
but that is for the future, for now she didn't have enough strength to refuse her family's wishes.
She stood up to leave, but noticed that pervert is still looking at her, he even had a stupid grin on his face.
"y... you...."
her eyes twitched, she was about to snap but calmed herself down. she left with black iron in tow, after leaving the restaurant the pervert is no longer there. Perhaps he was scared that she would order black iron to beat him up.
she boarded a luxurious carriage and left to attend the appointment.
---------------------
On a crowded street of the capital city of Yinan empire a young man can be seen walking, each of his step was soundless, his back straight like a sword piercing the heavens, he wore a simple robe with a sword on his back, the sword looked unassuming, it looked like something you'd find in a pawn shop.
as he was walking an uproar erupted around him, the ground began to shake vigorously. the air trembled, an alarm sounded throughout the capital city, this alarm would only be sounded if the capital city is in danger of being destroyed completely. everybody panicked and scattered, they bumped to each other, some fell down and was crushed underfoot.
a young beautiful woman with bright blue eyes also fell and was almost crushed too, but the young man suddenly appeared beside her and caught her.
"Are you okay my lady?" the young man said with a refreshing smile on his face.
"uh... uhm... I.... I'm okay, Thank you very much" the young woman blushed, her face completely red. for some reason her eyes shone bright blue as if glowing.
as they were having this conversation a world shattering roar sounded, a celestial dragon landed on the street. everybody was scared stiff unable to move, with the exception for the young woman and the young man.
"would I be able to have the pleasure of knowing your name?" the young man asked with a smile.
"This isn't the time for that!, we need to run away!!" the woman said in a panic.
"don't worry you're safe as long as you're with me" the young man answered with a refreshing smile. seeing that the woman felt reassured.
the dragon looked in their direction since they were the only ones still moving and having a conversation. the young man also looked at the dragon while unsheathing his sword.
"This sword is called Over Heaven!. this is the legendary sword that venerable Di'ao used to battle gods and demons!" the young man shouted, an overwhelming aura emerge from the sword, dragon trembled and tried to run away, but it's too late.
"Take this!, Super heaven slash!!!!" the young man slashed the dragon straight down the middle separating the dragon into two parts before it's even able to let out a sound.
"Savior!, that was amazing!!" the young woman approached the young man, elated
the people in the surroundings is able to move again and joined in to offer their praises.
just as the young man wanted to rejoice at his victory, a giant hand appeared from above the clouds descending towards him, from the hand declared.
"Wake UP!" before the young man could even react he was turned into meat paste.
--------------------------
on an inauspicious street there is a tiny shop called zhenshi pawn shop, a slap reverberated inside the shop, the person being slapped who was just sleeping immediately woke up.
"F*ck why would you slap a sleeping person Wang Jiaohua!" the person that was slapped is a young man wearing a simple robe, he's currently giving a slightly chubby man a murderous look. the man supposedly named Wang Jiaohua.
"You can't blame me Li Pingjun, you were shouting super heaven something in your sleep!, It's annoying!" replied Wang Jiaohua, he continued "And why are you even sleeping here in my shop!, you come in here saying you're sleepy and immediately falling asleep, you shouting weird stuff is scaring away customers!" Wang Jiaohua berated Li Pingjun.
"who would buy anything at this dishonest shop?" Li pingjun let out a snort of derision. "In the first place the only reason I'm here is because the sword you sold me is defective!. It broke after one battle!"
"That's what you get for being cheap!, the money you used to buy the sword is only enough to buy lunch!" Wang jiaohua remarked. "Cheapskate!"
"damnit... I wouldn't be like this if I had more money" Li pingjun murmured in a small voice
"and you don't even normally fight with a sword, why are you using one?" asked Jiaohua.
"I mean, who wouldn't want to become a peerless sword immortal?" Li Pingjun said in a small voice.
Wang Jiaohua was bewildered "fair enough" said Jiaohua with a wry smile.
"anyway hear me out jiaohua, i saw a super smoking hot babe before I came here" Li Pingjun said. "the moment I gazed at her she immediately gazed back at me, It's Fate!, we're gonna meet again, marry and have three kids!" Li Pingjun's eyes seemed as if It's seeing into the totally real future.
"stop day dreaming man, what do you want?, and why were you feeling so sleepy?" Jiaohua asked with his eyebrows raised.
"I told you this already" Pingjun said in exasperation, he took a pose holding one of his eyes with one of his hand and the other clenched to a fist as if holding back extreme pain.
"My eyes are special! like no other , I am able to see into the potential of others and see how far they can go in their lives!. There is nothing they can hide from me!. alas, this ability requires unimaginable amount of energy, so I will be drained after using it" Pingjun ended his speech.
"Right you said that before...., who did you use it on?" Jiaohua said helplessly.
"The smoking hot babe I met" Li Pingjun said as a matter of fact.
Wang jiaohua looked at him without any reaction. "anyhow, what do you want?"
"I want the usual, a qi strengthening pill, I can only get really cheap ones from you" Pingjun said.
"you know the stuff I'm giving you is cheap because they're failed batches right?, they only have about 1/5th of the usual efficacy "jiaohua replied.
"I know but that's the only thing I can afford" Pingjun replied with a wry smile. he continued "they're 5 spirit stones right?"
"Yeah 5 for 3 pills" Jiaohua said, taking out a pill bottle from a cupboard behind the counter and giving it to Pingjun while taking the 5 spirit stones from him. As they were doing this, there was a sudden loud noise coming from outside the shop along with a woman's scream.
Li Pingjun and Wang Jiaohua looked at each other, and they immediately left the store to check out what's happening.
