Defender Hacienda Defender Hacienda clamored, Jen appeared in the cultivation territory of Xuan Rong, the shadow disappeared and the old man soared from the throne in the blink of an eye.
Before Jen could feel that she was left alone and falling down, strong arms held her carefully, Xuan Rong casted a glance on her and immediately his eyes widened, he held her and returned back on his big throne.
Xuan Rong, the defender of this Sphere shook his head with dismay, what was use of this power when his grandchild was riddled with wounds, from her condition, it was hard to tell how she reached to this state.
Her clothes were tattered, who knows when she last cleaned her face, perhaps the fresh wounds bled, her open skin was stained with many visible injuries, he carefully placed her on the throne, the hair was unkempt as well, he remembered when he last saw her, she seemed reserved, stubborn to refute him and well-kept in her disposition and bearings but at this time, she was looking like a defeated trooper who has all his energy to face the world anymore.
She was looking frail due to overused essence force, her acmes pairs were empty and enough of that when she opened her eyes, her eyes were empty too.
He carefully observed her, everything was acceptable but empty eyes were not acceptable, what had happened and what was wrong, Jen looked up at her great grandfather silently, after a moment she closed her eyes again since she has reached at the safest place of this sphere.
Xuan Rong picked her and patted against his chest, "You should rest and later we"ll talk," he coaxed her affectionately and straightened her hair, Xuan Rong picked her weak wrist and purest essence flowed in her empty acmes pairs, the wounds also started to heal slowly.
"Grandfather," Jen called.
"I am here," Xuan Rong hurriedly answered.
She did not speak further, she seemed a small child whom Xuan Rong was carrying.
Jen fell asleep, after she found that no enemy could reach her, no evil can pursuit her, and no so called hunter can harm her here, she finally let her guard down and thought to rest first, it has been a long time she last slumbered this calm.
Xuan Rong saw her timid face and his heart ached, why she was this stubborn, but if he asked her the very same question, she would refute saying that he was stubborn instead of her.
Xuan Rong carried her to send in the chamber for rest but he has to stop, the Sky Thunder Martinet was here and it was rare that it would appear suddenly.
The flapping of wings created sharp wind which removed hair from the face of the girl who was hanging in the arms of Defender, with a single look the Sky Thunder Martinet recognized the girl, "May I ask the ident.i.ty of this small girl my Superior?" it asked Xuan Rong.
This girl has once favored the Macabre Dwelling and saved all the races of beasts from big conflict and also helped in identifying the true enemy, the strongest beast of all beast races was Sky Thunder Martinet, and it has taken oath to provide strong backing to the Defender of Celestial Sphere, though usually if a human wanted to hail a beast, it would be called his Escort Sentient but the Sky Thunder Martinet race never submitted to any human, still it was agreed to appear whenever it was needed so the upper sphere always had this notion that Sky Thunder Martinet was the Escort Sentient of Defender Xuan Rong.
The beast asked, Xuan Rong as if in dilemma looked toward the beast, he was little curious instead of explaining the reason why it came suddenly, the beast was asking about his granddaughter.
"She is my grandchild, and little stubborn," Xuan Rong could not keep it to himself, he was openly accepting that his grandchild has the power to refute his orders as well as concerns.
"Then I must say that the Superior Defender has a courageous and valorous grandchild," the Sky Thunder Martinet landed on the ground and stood in front of the Defender with obedience as if asking permission to relate the matter.
Xuan Rong was slightly surprised to know that Sky Thunder Martinet was familiar with her.
He walked and reached the chamber, placed her carefully and returned, if he kept her holding while both talked it might disturb her rest.
"Is there something urgent?" Xuan Rong sat on his throne and asked with solemn face.
"As the Superior has prior knowledge about the ongoing conflicts in the upper sphere, the strongest potential contestant of the position has withdrew his name and it would result the opening of the worst era for the upper sphere and the celestial Sphere, he is here to meet Xuan Rong," the beast slightly bowed its giant body, the senior Sky Thunder Martinet was a strong existence for everyone and it only bow in front of Superior Xuan Rong.
"What is the purpose?" Xuan Rong creased his brows, if a contender was not willing to fight for the position what face he has to meet others especially when it was necessary to defeat evil, he let the evil win without much ado.
"I am not sure," Sky Thunder Martinet flapped its wings and went to bring the guest.
Xuan Rong spread his aura which he was keeping shut because it could hurt his wounded grandchild, but in front of a coward he was not willing to preserve.
A man entered in the hall, from his disposition to his bearings he was royal and very sure Xuan Rong has met this man before, "w.a.n.g Bo greets Superior," the man introduced himself as well as greeted.
Xuan Rong gestured him to sit, "I know the news of withdrawal must have reached to the Superior," w.a.n.g Bo was smart, he knew many strongest people have tied their hopes for him to win but he has no say when the supreme himself has chosen him for more better position.
"You know very well," Xuan Rong spoke.
"I thought to meet Superior Xuan Rong before start learning from Supreme," w.a.n.g Bo caught the anger and slightly smiled, he knew that Xuan Rong wanted him to win the Defender s.h.i.+p of the upper sphere, and he would support him but it turned out that he won"t be fighting anymore.
"Supreme? What do you mean? Did the Supreme agree to it?" Xuan Rong got in conflict of thoughts, as far as he could predict about the supreme, he never chose anyone until now.
"Indeed, the supreme wanted to me to learn from him rather than to waste time on fighting for the position," w.a.n.g Bo nodded his head with calm composure.
He was fortunate to be chosen by the supreme but the situation would be troublesome for the upper sphere as well as Celestial Sphere, as the next month Nianru would be selected without a single battle.
"If supreme has chosen then I am no more angry, I hope the new Defender won"t bring trouble any time soon," Xuan Rong can only prepare himself for any sudden surprise of battles.
"Superior should not worry as the fate has decided that Nianru would die at the hands of Juis.h.i.+ this time when she will take revenge for the betrayal," w.a.n.g Bo spoke to lessen the worry.
"I am not sure where that woman is currently and how she will reach his enemy, did the supreme relate whether she has appeared or not?" for Xuan Rong this tale was little difficult to digest since supreme has spoken about it, he cannot deny the possibility.
She has to appear at right time else two sphere would be destroyed.
"She is currently learning and in the Celestial Sphere because of her locked heart, she has no memories of her past, but as long as she remained persistent she will be able to become strongest, only time will decide the fate of the spheres till then," w.a.n.g Bo did not relate that the girl was his grandchild, Jen Xuan Rong, it was fate after all.
He has no say if the spheres were fated to suffer because her learning cannot be disturbed not increased with means, the supreme would not approve, his precious daughter was backstabbed and he decided to let her revenge so why he would want to repeat the same things, he don"t want her to get pampered by anyone, only her suffering would help her to revenge, the sufferings would let her learn right from wrong, innocent from sly, foes from friends, clear from vague, accurate choice from fabricated.
"If we are destined to face it then so be it, I am willing to take this risk for the sake of supreme as I believe him," Xuan Rong spoke.
Only four people were aware about this fate, supreme, Xuan Rong, w.a.n.g Bo and his elder.
