Here he met everyone else. The old lady was also here. The first thing he did was to check if they are alright. Other children told Ming jia that they were also brought here the same way.

Ming Jia told them about Bai jie had allowed him to cultivate. Everyone was happy especially Ming Xue she knew what it meant for her brother, tears were forming in her eyes. Her brother would practice in the forest daily he would push himself to his limits every day.

She felt very grateful for her brother. She wanted to meet Bai jie again and thank him personally.

Then suddenly a lady showed up. she was a beauty she wore a red dress.

" My name is Han Bing. As you know we are in heavenly pavilion. I just want to know about a person if you tell me no one will get hurt. " said Han Bing coldly. She had an air of a queen around her.

" But we are just mortals. " replied grandma Ann she didn't even know why were they summoned here in the first place.

" Look at this do you know this guy. " Han Bing shoes them a scroll Bai Jie's sketch was drawn on it.

Everyone recognized him with the first glance.

" So you do know him. " Han Bing noticed this sudden change in expression. She looked towards Ming jia and smiled. He was the only cultivator so she thought he must be the leader.

" Just tell me about him and I will let everyone go," said Han Bing.

Ming Jia face suddenly turned dark. There were two options for him one was not to tell her about his Master or betray him.

" I don't know anything. even if I did I won't tell you. " Ming Jia said resolutely. He took a gamble that if she wanted to kill them then she would have brought them to an isolated place.

" Miss Han why to play around just give me a few minutes and he will tell you everything," said Ning Xie he walked in long strides. He had a cruel look on his face with a gentle smile. It was terrifying in itself.

" Young master Xie it's not gentlemanly of you to barge into my private residence without permission. " Ning Xie who had a smile on his face stopped in his tracks. He thought after he helped Han Bing she wouldn't mind. He even sent two people from his family's personal guards.

" Apologies Miss Han. " Ning Xie smiled awkwardly.

" But Ning family sure posses some reliable people to find information about him so quickly. but still, they couldn't find him trash " praised Han Bing more like sarcasm. According to her mother, if she used personal of heavenly pavilion then her mother would know. So she used Ning Xie to go for a loophole.

" oh, it's nothing, Miss Han," said Ning Xie while backing away But in his heart, he was cursing her. But he was also eyeing the ladies standing outside Han Bing's room. The room door closed again. The ladies didn't even bat an eye they just stood there. He was a perfect example of a degenerate.

" So you want to tell me now. " Han Bing smiled towards Ming jia. Ming jia also felt captivated by her, he gulped down his saliva. She was like a seductress in front of him. he could almost see everything.

" I won't no matter how much " Ming jia wanted to speak more But Han Bing voices in.

" What if I gave your sister to him," said Han Bing she had tried the soft approach.

" You " Ming jia suddenly felt conflicted. He could bear the pain but he didn't want his sister to suffer. For Ming jia, his sister was all he cared about

" I will speak " Ming Jia gave up he got deflated like a balloon.

" Big brother," said Ming Xue. she was clenching her little fists.

" Little girl you shouldn't try anything funny as I have said if you cooperate you can leave," said Han Bing. Her mother had always taught her if you want to exploit someone strike at their weak point. She always likes to be in control.

Ming Xue saw her brother leaving with the lady. She felt suffocated ' I am just a burden to him. ' Ming Xue closed her eyes. tears started streaming down her eyes.

" little Xue everything will be alright. " Grandma Ann embraced Ming Xue from behind.

*************

" To tell you the truth today was the first time I have met him," said Ming Jia. In this world without strength, you are just at the mercy of others.

" hehe, no need to make such a long face. I like you somewhat," said Han Bing. What this kid just had done not many people could do what he had done.

" How about this if you help me with this guy I will make you a guard personal of the heavenly pavilion in Ji village. you have the talent to become 1 stage mortal at such a young age while he is just a mortal why are you protecting him if good guidance is provided to you, You can become very powerful in a short time. You can also have access to any lady in the heavenly pavilion." Han Bing was genuinely trying to invite him. There weren't many people who could hold themselves in dangerous situations.

" Miss why don't we get straight to the point. " Ming Jia replied his eyes filled with guilt. But one thing he was clear that even she didn't know that Bai jie was a powerful cultivator. This greatly boosted his confidence.

" Then tell what is his name and where he lives. " Han bing asked excitedly.

" His name " Ming jia tried to recall. He suddenly realized Bai jie never told him. He basically knows nothing about him. He knew he couldn't lie here it was his sister on the line here. He couldn't take any risk. But soon he realized something he actually didn't know anything.

" hahaha, Miss I don't know anything about him hahaha " tears started forming in his eyes Ming jia felt the guilt in his heart vanish. He felt even greater admiration for his Master.

' Did he have such great insight. ' Ming jia admiration for Bai jie went up another level. Because Bai jie never revealed any information about himself because he didn't want to bring danger to them. He was feeling very conflicted ratting out the person who had given him hope to live. As the saying goes The less you know the safer you are.

" This " Han Bing closely looked at him. She knew he was telling the truth. She was a 3rd stage cultivator. so she was keeping a close eye on his vitals. unless the little kid in front of her was a trained a.s.sa.s.sin which she believed to be impossible.

Then she went back and investigated everyone. But she got nothing it was a completely fruitless endeavor. Only the old lady told him that he bought all the books she had and he wanted to learn how to read and write. After that, they know nothing about him.

" hahaha, Miss I really pity you even after all this hahaha," said Ming jia. He felt very satisfied watching this lady getting frustrated.

Han Bing moved fast and struck Ming Jia unconscious. She was getting more and more frustrated.

She went out went to meet Ning Xie. She heard Ning Xie shouting about bringing someone here.

" Young master Xie did you find him. " Han Bing opened the door.

" Yes, Miss Han They are bringing him here but he was just a mortal not as you said," replied Ning Xie.

Han Bing didn't say anything. ' But how could he escape if he wasn't a cultivator. ' she herself was a 3rd stage mortal. She thought he might also be 2nd or 3rd stage to escape from her senses.

" Melian I might need you," said, Han Bing.

A woman suddenly appeared beside her.

" Han Melian is at your command " Replied Han Melian. Her face had no emotion but it suited her very well. she wore loose white robes and had a short sword. She was the strongest expert hereafter Han yu, 8th stage mortal.

" I want to keep a close eye on the guy that will be coming here he might be 5th or 6th stage," said Han Bing.

" I understand," replied Han Melian.

*****************

" What do you think," said Han Bing. there was another woman beside her.

" He is really a mortal I can't sense any fluctuations of spirit force from him," replied Han Melian. She was keeping a close eye on Bai Jie's every action from the start.

" All the drama he did outside," said Han Bing.

" Miss I don't know specific but he was very scared of you I could feel his blood circulation was very erratic most likely it was true Young miss did you really used poison," replied Han Melian.

" No it was unexpected " Han Bing's cheeks went red suddenly.

" Miss I think you should get married soon," said Han Melian suddenly. " I think that Bao Shen guy is a much better option than Ning Xie. "

" Ohh why don't you marry him then," replied Han Bing bashfully. But even Han Melian could see how Han Bing was feeling.

" Miss I am already past my age and I will have to leave the heavenly pavilion if I want to marry someone I was already married once my partner died in the rank 1 battlefield after that I joined the heavenly pavilion I get to meet many sisters here same as me it's our home and I am willing to die protecting it," replied Han Melian her face didn't have any remorse but an unwavering determination.

" What do you think about this guy," said Han Bing bashfully.

" Miss I hope you don't joke around it would be better if you don't even think about it," replied Han Melian. It was better to crush her dream now.

" Do you want me to finish the work.it would be better if we can get rid of them before Mistress Yu comes back. " She moved her hand from right to left upon her own neck.

" but they are just children. "replied Han Bing. Even though she acted cruelly her heart wasn't willing to kill children.

" I am talking about him we don't even know his name it's better to get rid of him. What happend outside was just an unexpected incident " said Han Melian with an icy tone. her loyalty was with Heavenly pavilion." while the others can be incorporated into heavenly Pavillion except for him and the old lady. "

" I need to meet him, is he awake," asked Han Bing.

" No, he is the guest hall with others still unconscious. he might wake up anytime now," replied Han Melian.

" Tell me when he wakes up," said Han Bing. ' Who the h.e.l.l are you ' thought Han Bing. After the incident, she couldn't get Bai jie out of her head. She had even sent his sketch to underground organizations but nothing came up about him. From what that said this guy never entered the Village and there is no record of him being born in the village either.

He just popped out of nowhere.
