By the time I got to the courtyard, I knew that I was in trouble. There were a lot of people in the open space, and they were probably looking at where I was going. I approached them with a heavy heart, and one of them noticed me.

“I found the young lord!” he shouted. Then, he looked at me with concern.

“Where were you, young lord? Where were you all this time?” the man asked me.

“I was in the training grounds. Where else would I be? If you wanted to find me, why didn’t you go there?” I said nonchalantly, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. I had to make this look like someone else’s fault, or there would be trouble for me.

“You were in the training grounds? You went there?” he asked me with shock. He then looked behind. Liu Qian was standing there with a calm face. He looked at Liu Feng once, and turned away, going back into the house.

“Looks like father is going to leave me this time.” I heaved a sigh of relief. As if he sensed my relaxation, his voice rang in my ears.

“Come to my room. We need to talk.”

I shook my head with dismay. Ever since I came here, I only got into trouble. No one seemed to be a friend at all! I sighed and walked to the master bedroom. Meanwhile, all the people who gathered here looked at me and quickly vacated the courtyard.

Liu Qian was sitting on the bed. My mother was not here, but if I had to guess, she was probably in another room. Liu Qian looked at me with a gaze so furious that I thought that he wanted to kill me.

“Do you know how much you worried your mother? She looked everywhere for you. What were you doing in the training ground, of all places? Stop trying to be something that you are not. You have no talent for cultivation. You need to accept that.” he barked.

“No talent for cultivation? But father! This master graced me during the three months that I was in the forest, and he seemed to do something to my body. I am able to gather some of this mysterious power, and I can use it through an art that he taught me.” I started weaving a story of my own, trying to explain what happened to me along the way.

“What did you say? You are able to feel qi? That is impossible!” Liu Qian jumped up to me and grabbed my left hand. He put his fingers on the veins, and I felt a warm feeling from them. His eyes opened wide.

“Qi circulation! In the fifth realm no less! How did you get to the fifth realm of qi condensation in just three months? God must be favoring the Liu Family. All these years that you have lost might finally be recovered. You might be able to cultivate!” he shouted with excitement.

“Qi condensation? They must be the realms of cultivation. I need to clarify that later. But it looks like I am on the right track here.” I made a note to myself. Then, I asked my father, “Father, do you think that there is any way that I will be able to win the competition happening in two months? I think that I have a good chance.”

“The martial gathering? There is little chance that one of us, from the Liu Family will win. The Bai family has that young girl who is supremely talented, and the Cai family is just too mysterious. We are the weakest. We always have been. Don’t worry about something that you cannot control. Today, I will teach you how to gather Qi. That way, you will be able to start building up your cultivation, and maybe you will reach the foundation building stage by the end of two years.” he said, shaking his head.

“Two years? That is a long time. I need to see how long I will take with the system. It should be much faster, considering that I did all that I have right now in just three months.” I told myself.

“Go eat lunch. Your mother is worried sick. But don’t tell her anything about this. Don’t tell anyone at all, in fact. Don’t go outside anymore. Do everything here. I want you to hide this for a while. Or it will be dangerous. And it looks like you have chosen the spear? I will talk about that later. It is a tough weapon to yeild, but deadly once mastered.

I nodded. This was a surprising outcome from what I had expected. I thought that father would beat the hell out of me for this one. For some reason, I had this innate fear of him, possibly because he hit the previous owner of this body a lot.

I left the room, and went to my own. I had a ten foot high spear, and I couldn’t exactly take it everywhere that I went. If only the system had an inventory system. But that would probably be too much of a cheat.

After I put the spear in my room, I took a deep breath and headed over to another part of the family estate. It was a common gathering for all those who were a part of the main clan. All the pure lineage members ate here, while the subsidiary clan members ate elsewhere. It was a terrible segregation, but there was nothing that I could do about it. I entered the wide hall and saw many a familiar face. Liu Kun scowled at me, while mother smiled as she saw me enter.

She beckoned to me, asking me to sit next to her. I nodded and scurried off to her side. Everything else felt so foreign.

“Look who is here. The cheater. You coward. You sneak attacked me then, and look at you, without any shame, coming here so proudly.” Liu Kun said, taunting me.
