Eating and taking a long refreshing bath could take off some stress. That was what Si Ning thought as he wore his sleeping robes, water still dripping from his hair. He touched his palms and he couldn’t help the smile that played on his lips because his hands were now softer and all he needed was a little more time taking care of his hands for it to finally become how he remembered his hands to be. He glanced at his table to see a folded piece of paper just right beside the pouch Song Feng gave him, he knew he didn’t see the paper earlier when he placed the pouch on the table which means Ah Dai must have dropped it for him. Si Ning carried the jug on the table and poured himself a cup of water and took out one of the pills in the pouch, it was dark and round, without thinking he threw it in his mouth and drank water to wash down the pill then he flexed his toes glad of the little knowledge about pedicure and manicure he knew because his feet now feels and looks softer.

"Jiang Ye!" Si Ning shouted. He knew it doesn’t make sense for a high-ranking General like him not to be vigilant when sleeping that he doesn’t even know the person that came into his room. At least he should be vigilant enough to hear the slightest sound but Si Ning decided to blame it on the sleeping pill."General Lieutenant Jiang went..." Xiao Pei stopped when the doors opened to reveal Jiang Ye.Jiang Ye dressed in dark blue robes, his hair neatly done into a simple ponytail with a dark hair band without a strand out of place and no shiny hair accessories, his dressing gave him a cool look even though his dull cloth seemed expensive and he doesn’t look like a guard, he had the look of a wealthy man that doesn’t want to flaunt his wealth that came to pay his friend a visit. Si Ning had to stretch his neck so he could check Jiang Ye’s shoes before Jiang Ye close the door and he was able to peek at the dark boots and Si Ning could tell i

When Xiao Pei told Si Ning his mother was waiting for him at the meeting room, Si Ning had expected the meeting room to be the one he and Qiu Bai had a discussion but Yanyu met them on the way and led them in another direction, to the part of the residence Si Ning was yet to explore and when he thought about it Si Ning hadn’t got any time to check the whole residence because the residence was too big and for him to do so he needs a lot of time."Madam, Young Master has arrived," Yanyu announced then waited before nodding to the guard at the door and the guard quickly step back and opened the doors."Wait here." Si Ning said to Jiang Ye before stepping into the room after Yanyu.The room was bigger than Si Ning thought and it was well lit than he expected. Ge Mengshu back was turned to him since she was closing the window, an unfinished board game was on the table that Si Ning frowned when he got closer."Yanyu leave us." Ge Mengshu said when she tur

"The first time I met your father was in Mu country, that was long before Mu country became a vassal state of Xiu." Ge Mengshu pursed as she placed her hands on the table. "I was only fifteen and tagged along with my father. My father, Ge Sumeng as the Prime Minister of Xilie went to see one of Xilie’s informants and for me not to be idle, he gave me some silver to go and check the market with Green Wild Tiger...""A tiger!" Si Ning's eyes widen at his mother’s last word. "You have a tiger?" His mouth fell in astonishment, he never thought his mother would be so wild to keep a tiger and it didn’t even occur to him how odd it was to be a green tiger."It is a moniker for Yi Chen, I heard he was a wild child that kept going to hunt in the forest, I think that was how the name came to be." Ge Mengshu explained slowly before she took a sip of her tea."Oh." Si Ning’s eyes started glimmering, he wished he also had a flashy sobriquet to make hi

Darkness. That was all Si Ning could see the moment he opened his eyes, it was too dark that he was a bit confused and the odd part was he could tell he was standing."Where am I?" Si Ning blinked and squinted yet he couldn’t see a thing. "Where is this?" He asked foolishly despite having a feeling he would never get a reply.This made Si Ning blinked rapidly with the fear that he may be the one who couldn’t see anything and after blinking and seeing it was still dark first made him swallowed the lump in his throat, he raised his hands and was about to rub his eyes when it instantly became bright and it was so bright and hot that he could feel the heat from the sun and it was getting abnormally hot, the brightness was blinding that he had to raise his hands to shade his eyes from the brightness then he realized there was nothing in the space that his hands supposed to be.What?Looking down to where his arms should be to see nothing threw Si N
