It was already night outside when Seth and Rina finally stopped their lovemaking session.

Seth left Rina resting on the bed and went to take a quick shower, getting rid of the sweat from overly exercising together with Rina. During the daytime, he had invited her to go to the banquet inside Duke Jiang's house, but she didn't like the idea of going in a human party yet.

She was a reserved person and Seth respected that. That's why he gave his all to satisfy her thoroughly, before going to that banquet alone. Actually, it would be better for him to go alone, because if something were to happen, he could be rigid and deal with the situation the way he liked.

He left the bathroom and saw that Rina was already sleeping soundly and that she wouldn't wake up for now. He took some good clothes out of his spatial ring, wearing them and getting ready to go.

After he left the room, he created a barrier while using his Mana, to better protect her. This inn was a very safe place, but another layer of protection was always welcomed.

He went to Meihui's room and asked her, if she would need anything. After seeing she and Meiyi were good, Seth did the same thing around the room they were staying, before leaving the inn.

When he was passing through the reception, he asked the receptionist where Duke Jiang's mansion was located.

Very quickly, he was able to find the answer. Duke Jiang was one if not the most important nobles in the entire city. He was responsible for the protection and security of the entire nation and the army was his responsibility to manage. Duke Jiang was a very stern and rigid person, but everyone respected him.

He always did everything to keep the entire nation being a secure place and that's why even though he lived in a place everyone knew where it was, he has never had any problems regarding its security.

After finding out that Duke Jiang lived in a mansion inside a very well-known and important part of the city, he just left the inn and vanished, quickly finding the way towards there.

Butler Zhao was serving the members of the Jiang family in the spacious hall where the banquet was happening. He was very satisfied with his job, being a person Jiang Chao, known as Duke Jiang, trusted. Among the people he was serving, Duke Jiang and one of his women were present.

Duke Jiang was a fat middle-aged man with a short blue hair that had a very rigid and serious personality; However, if it was about his family, even though he was rigid, he loved them. He was a very responsible man that really worked to make his nation better each day, partially like Huo Shihong was.

There was only a single flaw on his personality, he doted too much on his daughter Jiang Yi. Doted her to the point she was treated like a real princess. Even if he was stern with everyone else, including his wife; with his daughter, he turned into the sweetest one out all of fathers out there.

Yesterday, his daughter had taken the test to enter into the Glazed Lake Sect. A test he was able to obtain a chance for her, only after a lot of efforts. If not for him being a very good leader and having helped some members of the Glazed Lake Sect some times before, he would never get a chance like that for his daughter.

When Jiang Yi returned with a sour mood, he thought she had failed that test. However, it turned out that she was discontent that she had passed to enter the outer-court of the Sect, while in reality, she wanted to be chosen to enter one of the Twelve Palaces.

The Glazed Lake was divided into Twelve Palaces. Each palace had a female supreme teacher called Palace Master.

Their strength was just like the strength of the Twelve Shadows under Velgor's command. But in terms of classification of power, their method was just the opposite of what the Twelve Shadows used.

Eleventh Palace Master Yushui, the Master of Jiayi, Xiurong and Ruolan, was the second strongest out all of the Twelve Palace Masters. Her strength was at the Profound Mana middle-stage Realm. At that time inside the Ereinrith Abandoned Ruins, she was able to defeat and kill Wang Lei, even though he had infected her with the Evergreen Synthetic Poison.

Her strength and prestige inside the Sect, was really something everyone respected, but Seth didn't know about it. He was invited by one of the strongest figures of a Higher Ground. At her power level, she was just behind the Twelfth Palace Master and the Sect Master, that was currently the Lake Goddess.

Jiang Yi, being a spoiled child she was, wasn't content with her low status inside the Sect and returned home with a sour mood; however, for her father and family, the mere fact of her being able to enter the Glazed Lake, was something deserving of a great party.

This party would not only attract attention and prestige to their family, it would actually, bring him more alliances and to his daughter, more gifts. However, when talking about the possibility of a boyfriend, Duke Jiang denied it vehemently. He didn't want to lose his princess to anyone yet.

Just like he expected, all the nobles that had arrived brought many gifts with them, making a pile of things accumulate in a distant part of the banquet hall.

Butler Zhao was serving Duke Jiang food, making his round belly get a bit rounder, when he suddenly noticed his daughter descending the stairs like a beautiful princess. She was his precious jewel, and fortunately for her, she had taken her mother's genes, being very slim and graceful. However, differently from her mother, her body was able to retain fat where it needed, making her figure very seductive. That last characteristic was thanks to her father.

As she descended, everyone admired her beauty secretly, but no one dared to express any of their thoughts about her.. Not because of her father, but because no one wanted to be the next pitiful target of that devious imp.
