"He's just a child" - everyone kept saying that, but... Did anyone truly understand that?
Yanqing's origin was always unknown, and the reason for his extreme talent was too... But what was known, is that he's the lieutenant that everyone can trust...

Yesterday's events were full of disaster. No matter how much he tried, Yanqing couldn't feel more at ease. The buildings he accidentally destroyed, Shuye who died because of him, Hongling, who he could've hurt, and The Abundance "Yanqing" hallucinations. It all stayed in his head and he couldn't let go. But thankfully, besides that, he managed to have a good conversation with The General and managed to share some info regarding The "Abundance" with him.
Yanqing was lying in his bed when his phone let go of a "BEEP" sound.
When Yanqing took his phone in his hand, he saw that General Jing Yuan sent him a message. Uncertain, the boy opened it to see what he had written.
- "Helm Master Yukong has invited you to the Palace Of Astrum. She has an important message for you." The message said.
"Yukong has an important message... For me?" The thought appeared in the Lieutenant's head.
What could she possibly want to tell him? Yanqing was curious but even more worried. The boy had no idea if Madam Yukong was on the "Save Yanqing", or "Execute Yanqing" side.
The blonde boy had nothing to do anyway, therefore he decided to go immediately... But he had to change first.
...
It took some time for Yanqing to finish changing, as his gloomy mood slowed him down. However, the boy finally managed to change his clothes, but when he was about to leave, he realized he didn't wear his hood.
- "There's no point..." He exclaimed to himself, as he left his room, leaving his sword collection alone.
As Yanqing went downstairs, he then petted Mimi. - "Good cat... I'll be back later, okay?" He promised as he smiled falsely.
The blonde boy then left the house. He wasn't ready for what was about to come.
...
As Yanqing went towards The Palace Of Astrum, his gaze was focused on the ground as he knew that people stared, and seeing it would only make him feel worse.
Step after step, he was getting closer and closer. The Lieutenant couldn't help but get more and more nervous despite trying to stay calm, the uncertainty was too much to handle.
And then, the boy arrived. The Palace Of Astrum was right in front of him.
- "Here goes nothing..." He mumbled as he entered the building.
...
Guards didn't stand in his way, as they knew he was invited. Yanqing could enter the main hall and then he noticed Madam Yukong.
- "I'm here, Madam Yukong... What is it that you need to share with me?" With a voice full of worry, Yanqing asked.
- "Yanqing." She replied with a neutral yet mad tone of voice.
The blonde boy's body immediately tensed. - "Y-yes... It's me..." A bit scared, he replied.
