I froze. He knew who I was, and he knew the situation that I was in. That meant that he could help me. Thoughts raced through my mind.

"He can also help me get powerful right? I will be able to grow a little stronger, and will have a better standing among everyone else." I thought.

"Are you stupid? The goal is to complete the world. That means that you have to become the strongest, kick everyone's ass, and then get back. That is the goal. If you start alchemy as a profession, then all that you are going to be is a lackey to someone else and helping someone else become the strongest. That is pointless. Come on. Just step it up and say no. It doesn't matter what the situation is. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." Another voice inside of me rose.

Two voices started fighting, and outside, my face looked complicated. I looked at the old man with hesitation.

"It looks like you are still not convinced. Well then. It just means that you are not fated to become my disciple. That is too bad. I wish you the best of luck in your martial journey." the old man shook his head as he turned away to leave.

I nodded. As I turned away as well, the old man stopped.

"There was something else that I wanted to ask you. If you please. Tell everyone else to leave. This is a private talk, and it is not going to be alright with all these people listening on." the old man looked at the bodyguards.

"Everyone! Move right now. You do not want to offend the master. Just scatter!" the bodyguard in the front stepped up and cleared the area.

Soon, the place was empty, and there was only me and the old man left, with all of his bodyguards of course.

"What is it that was so private that everyone had to leave? They already saw me say no to you for the disciple proposal, and that was a little, humiliating on its own, no? So then why is this that private?" I asked.

"Well, I did not want to humiliate you when I wanted to ask you to break your engagement with Zhiqui. It is a little embarrassing to ask, but that is the one thing that is tying her to this city, to this place. She has greatness ahead of her, and I am afraid that you are the reason that she is at a bottleneck. She is bound by the promise that her father made, and that saddens me. I will compensate you if you wish for that." the old man said.

"You really love her, don't you. As a master, I mean. She is lucky to have a master like you. But you do not need to worry. I already agreed to Bai Zhiqui when she asked me earlier today. However, that proposal that you gave me, that you would give me something in return. May I be so bold as to ask for just a little bit of information?" I asked.

"If your father has not told you who he is, and why you have people after you, then I cannot disrespect his decision. You should as him." the old man shook his head.

"You read right through me, didn't you? But if you cannot tell me that, then can you at least tell me how you know?" I asked.

"That? Everyone knows. Every big powerhouse in the royal capital and the kingdom knows who you are and that you are his- I have spoken too much. But many know. You never cared enough. Who would have thought that you would change overnight? Truly a pity." the old man shook his head and sighed.

"Wait, what? Everyone knows?" I asked, staggering back.

"I have said too much. Anything else, you should ask your father. He will have all the answers that you want. Maybe, if you survive the next few years, then you will find out the truth for yourself. But it is not my truth to tell." the old man said as he started walking away.

"But-" I stepped forward, but I was stopped by the bodyguard.

"What do your think you are doing? How dare you try and approach the master without permission? I will not punish you because you are young and impulsive. Do not let this happen again." the bodyguard said with a harsh tone. By then, the old man was already quite a distance away, and the bodyguards were swiftly closing him in a protective shell.

"What the hell is happening? How could he just drop these bombs and leave like that? This is unfair. And the whole capital knows? Father is not going to say anything. I know that much. Why is everything happening now, at this time? Everything is concentrated around the few days that actually mean something to me." I shook my head.

I left for the house. I did not get the relaxing bath I wanted, and only got stress added to me. My shoulders slumped as I walked towards the Liu Family manor. Luckily, there were no more incidents that would keep my adrenaline pumping even more. I entered the manor and into the courtyard.

By now, the courtyard was empty. Everyone had left, and father was sitting outside, just gazing at the sky. He looked at me and smiled.

"Were you able to get some rest? Like you wanted?" he asked.

"Looks like today was not my lucky day. I did not get to do anything at all. There was an old man, who seemed to know you. I think that he was an alchemist. I could not enter the bath house because he was in it, and he was too important a guest to be disturbed." I said, shaking my head.

"An alchemist? I know a lot of alchemists. Well, better luck next time. But don't you dare say that today was not a lucky day. You are lucky. For you to win the match today, was only because your opponent underestimated you. Do not expect the same to happen at the martial gathering. If this was yesterday, I would say that you should not keep your hopes high, but now that I see you at this stage, I will be honest. If you overestimate yourself like you are right now, then you are going to get crushed." Liu Qian said.
