Yanyue Mei is a 25 year old woman, with a beautiful face, luscious long white hair that cascaded down behind her, pink lips and fair skin. A voluptuous and enchanting body that simply seemed divine and enraptures the attention of others. Light blue eyes which would reflect the light of the moon in the night and give her an ethereal glow, as if heralding her status as a member of the Moon Swallow Sect. The robes she wore, decorated for her status, just serves to enhance her beauty for all who see her.
She is the princess of the Moon Swallow Sect, the granddaughter of the head of the sect, which gave her great importance in the sect and obvious control over its matters. This was also what allowed her to take care of Genshu Hao without much difficulty, as she is also able to order her sect members to take care of him when she is busy.
And as the years passed and she watched him grow up, she could say that she is very fond of him. While his cultivation was problematic as he seemed to have troubles in advancing through the stages, she was quite happy because he is able to use his intelligence and act as a mediator for various members of the sect, and he is also quite intelligent as well, and the ability to be in a good relationship with everyone.
He has managed to gain the favour of many people in the sect and due to his skills in communication and mediation, he has managed to make transactions run smoothly, both between members of the sect, and one with those outside of their sect.
This also had the effect of gaining the trust of many in the sect, and some of the clans as well. As he has facilitated the easy exchange of items that allowed the concerned parties to advance in their cultivation, sometimes with some information that is beneficial to them.
While he wasn't strong enough as a cultivator, he does however have the wisdom to utilise his intelligence and smooth out the tensions in the sect by ensuring that the sect members are happy with each other. And his repeated help in these matters allowed him to be in the good graces of many in the sects.
Even the other higher ups of the sect have noticed his actions and has been impressed by his skills at his age. Though, because of the fact that he is still in the copper core stage, he doesn't have much importance in their eyes. But he does have some importance as a mediator in the sect.
She has been trying of course, to help him advance through his cultivation, but there always seemed to be a problem with his cultivation, despite their best efforts to help him. She has gave him their scriptures, watched him train in their ways and also supplied him with pills as well.
While the pills have helped him greatly, the fact that he has been finding bottlenecks in his cultivation at such an early stage was worrying for her. It might make him seem like he isn't capable of great cultivation, which would be detrimental for him in the future.
In the end, she worries that he will be disheartened due to not being able to advance in his cultivation. She was also quite aware of his failed courting of Zhu Li. It first felt quite adorable to watch him chasing after a girl, but it soon became painful for her to watch as he was refused time and time again.
She understood the value of Zhu Li of course, with her talent in cultivation and her rise to fame in the sect due to her potential, she is a girl who is prized by the sect. But she still wanted the two of them to get together, as she knows that Genshu Hao is a very good person and would be a loyal man to her.
Then there was the matter of the newly joined Zhun He. He is a boy of great talent and due to him being of the Jade core stage at his age, he is quite valued by the sect and her family. And from what she has heard and seen, he has been quite polite and well liked by the people, calling him a prodigy due to how potential.
However, the fact that he is pursuing Zhu Li was something that she didn't know how to feel about. She can understand that with her beauty, she would gain the attention of boy, especially one of his age. But since Genshu Hao has also been pursuing her, she didn't know what to think about it.
She obviously won't take a side, as she knows that the decision rests in Zhu Li's hands, but she hoped that if she did choose Zhun He, it wouldn't affect Genshu Hao too much. She doesn't like the boy she had taken in and raised to be sad.
She is also aware that while it isn't publically said, the higher ups of the sect were thinking that it would be good if two talented sect members got together, after all, two young prodigies becoming a couple would be a great thing to publically speak about. And it was much more appealing than her getting together with a boy like Genshu Hao who didn't have the same cultivational strength as she does.
In any case, she just hopes that she will be able to find a way to help him in transcending his current stage and rise to the next level, as he is also a cherished disciple of hers after all.
She looked down from her room at the highest places of the palace, as she saw Genshu Hao reading some scriptures about cultivation as she smiled to herself at how hard he is working to advance despite his many setbacks.
"You're working so hard. But why do the Heavens cause you such troubles." Yanyue Mei said to herself as she looked at him.
She sighed to herself before she decided to look for some way to help him advance in his cultivation.
"Perhaps I should find some scriptures that he can use." Yanyue Mei muttered to herself as she left to find some ways.
She pursed through the scriptures on cultivation that their sect had to find ways to help him get past his bottleneck on cultivation. After some time she left the place, not feeling confident about the scriptures she had read, especially since he is still a teen and she would have to explain it to him which she thinks might be too advanced even for him.
As she walked through the lower levels of the palace, her attention was drawn to a commotion in the place as she blinked in surprise at the noise. It didn't seem like it was anything bad, instead it seemed to be sounds of awe.
What she saw was Zhun He showing an impressive display of sword arts as he is trading blows with another older member. His strikes are precise and powerful, well above the level of those his age. This has gained him a small audience and she was also surprised by the amount of skill he has.
Just like the rest she was also mesmerized by the skill and grace that Zhun He fought with the sword as she was impressed by his composure while fighting an older opponent.
"Remarkable." Yanyue Mei muttered in surprise as she watched.
She had known of course that he is very special to the sect, but to see the skill with the blade that he is showing, it just served to elevate him in the eyes of others and even she has to agree that he has great skill and talent.
Genshu Hao who had been lounging around the area had also heard the commotion and came to check it and he was surprised by the skills shown by Zhun He. He also spotted Zhu Li watching the display as well and he can see clearly that she was also taken in by the show of skill as he frowned.
'But I gotta give credit where credit is due. He has skill, both in cultivation and martial arts.' Genshu Hao thought to himself as he watched it in silence.
Zhun He who was fighting had noticed Yanyue Mei watching him as he smiled slightly while he continued to battle against his opponent as his smile widened a bit at the fact that the princess of the sect is watching.
