The Fallen Consort

Yi Ling had a bountiful harvest. She even found some herbs that she needed to break her Second Seal. Such us; The Bloody Ginseng, Green Holy Sage, GoldenSeal, and the MaidenHair Tree. They were the precious treasures of the Mo Family but compared to a spiritual water, Mo Yan just had to give in. On top of it, Linyu wanted one of every single herb as well. Their treasury was almost about empty. He sighed. Its for a greater cause, he thought.

Mu Xin gave her a list of what she needed to break her Second Seal. Luckily, there wasn't any spiritual herbs in the list. Just that, she needs to mix it with Linyu's Green leaves and spiritual water. Mu Xin explained that this is to replenish her weak soul.

After handing the spiritual water, Mo Yan tried to treat them for a meal before leaving but Linyu firmly declined. Yi Ling made Linyu ask if they know any places that sell some cauldrons, Mo Tian instantly volunteered to be their guide. Mo Tian was smart enough to try to befriend their guests. It might bring the Mo Family to a brighter future. Mo Yan agreed to Mo Tian suggestion. They left the premises once everything was settled.

By now, Mo Tian got used to the both of them not speaking much at all. Even though earlier, his grandfather and him were on the edge. It's hard to know one person's thought if they don't talk, much less that they can't even see their facial expressions.

The Three of them and Mo Tian's servant head their way to the blacksmithing street.

"Here you can see a bunch of shops selling all kinds of weapons. From Daggers, Knives, Sabers, Swords and Bows." Mo Tian explained. He didn't get any response at all, but he still kept on going.

Linyu noticed that Yi Ling stopped at a particular shop. It wasn't much of a shop, It was a bit shabby. Everyone stopped as well when Yi Ling stopped. Mo Tian was keen on observing the younger one. Yi Ling went inside the store without paying any mind to her group.

As she got inside, she saw rows of weapons. Just a small variety of it. Nothing note worthy. She kept on walking like she has been here before, she then stopped in front of a Bow that was placed inside a case. She kept staring at it. Mo Tian was puzzled on Yi Ling's taste. The bow looked old, it looks very delicate and girly.

A shopkeeper came out from the back door. When he saw that he had some customers, his smile went wide. Its been a while since he sold anything.

"Young masters, may your humble servant help you pick anything?" The shopkeeper tried to converse with them.

Nobody spoke, since it was Yi Ling who wanted to come inside this shop. Everyone looked at her direction, the shopkeeper saw the clue. It must've been this little young master who wanted to buy something. When he saw where Yi Ling was looking, his eyes furrowed.

"Young master, are you interested in this bow?" he asked nicely. Yi Ling didn't say a word nor she looked at him. She just nodded while she kept staring at the Bow.

The bow has faded green color and gold linings. The string seems so old as well, that it might break the first time someone pulls it. It looked like it was meant for the ladies, for display purposes. When a lady just want to impress the man of her choice. Nobody knew why Yi Ling wanted it, even Linyu was confused. Little did they know that it was Mu Xin who ordered her to come inside the shop.
