Granny Yu was a companion maid, even though her talent to cultivate was sub-par at best,

  she was an excellent maid,

  for over 150 years, she had been a maid, serving the eldest daughter of the royal house of Xing from the Zhong dynasty far north

  there weren't any complaints from anybody in all the years she had worked as a maid

  Granny Yu considered herself faithful, accomplished, and a veteran at her job

  There weren't many situations granny hadn't been in practice. She had been in all of them

  Cleaning, cooking, childbirth, infant care, nursing some injured, recovering from an injury she had done them all.

  In fact, these were a few of the many reasons she had come so far south with miss Xing because she had experience taking care of children and had the basic knowledge of midwifery among cultivators.

  Granny YU was very accomplished and successful in her profession

  But today, she felt like a failure She felt helpless.

  She had never felt such helplessness; it was a new feeling

  Back when she was a child and still learning how to do things,

  she had felt helpless sometimes, but a more experienced maid would take over,

  and the problem would be solved And after granny Yu matured,

  she had never needed help even a new situation came up,

  she could handle it

  Ever since she found that the mistress was pregnant

  Granny Yu was over the moon with happiness;

  she felt that the child would help her poor bookworm of a miss who only knew how to take care of

  her medicinal field her cauldron and taking pills all the time

  Ever since miss had walked on this path of cultivation,

  all she did was cultivate meditate and pill refinement

  When Granny Yu found that miss carried not one but three children,

  she felt even more gratifying hoping these children would change her mistress for the better

  All the hopes and dreams of granny Yu had been brutally crushed

  The children were born

  Two boys and one girl

  They were named with the surname of their father

  The names were given by the mistress herself, making granny Yu feeling giddy

  The firstborn was named Liu wang, a boy with the spiritual eyes

  The second was called Liu Yun, a girl born with a 5-element spiritual root and the 5-element

  heavenly body

  The third born was named Liu Yuntao, another boy he was born with the mutated thunder element

  root and blue thunder spiritual body

  Three children were born three exceptionally talented children

  But that is where the happiness of granny Yu ended. Miss was not interested in the children the way

  granny Yu hoped

  For her first, all she could think was his eyes and would they could mean

  For her daughter, all she could think was how she was perfect for inheriting the Xing clan cultivating technique of the 5-element white lotus spiritual art

  For her son, she told granny Yu that he would inherit the Liu clan

  And when the mysterious message from the royal capital had come, she didn't even stay for a week

  She left 3 days after giving birth to the children

  Taking with her only the daughter

  She left the brothers back in the red star sect

  For Liu Yuntao, it wasn't so bad

  he was celebrated and cherished by not just the Liu clan but the entire red star sect

  She even heard that he was being accepted as a true disciple by some nascent divinity realm ancestor

  But for Liu Wang, it was an entirely different story

  When Liu wang came into this world, he came in quietly sleeping

  Even when he woke up, the child didn't cry

  Granny Yu had broken into a cold sweat with a chill down her spine

  Even After the baby drew out the amniotic fluids, the babe still kept on sleeping without any movement, any expression changes, or even a sound

  Like a stillborn

  Granny Yu had scooped up the babe and went into a corner, hoping to hide the corpse from the mistress.

  Even though she knew it was useless, a dozen divine senses were monitoring the place of the birth.

  As granny Yu touched the babe, she felt a perfectly normal heartbeat

  With that, she breathed a sigh of relief

  And then the babe opens his eyes

  His golden piercing eyes

  That scared granny Yu so much that she felt nothing cold all over a body

  Like many others, she thought that some all being had taken over the young child's body.

  How wrong she had been

  Granny regretted creating the panic that day

  After all those tests and speculations, it was nothing but that a newborn soul was blessed by the heaven.

  A blessing had turned into a curse for the child.

  The day child had been born granny Yu and brought her thoughts attention to master Xu, the mistress's younger brother.

  He had thanked her and told her how great of a maid she was

  She had felt so happy

  But today, standing in the corner of the courtyard, she nothing but guilt and regret.

  In the middle of the courtyard sat a 2-year-old child staring at the sky and doing nothing

  Granny Yu felt great heartache watching the child.

  The day When she took the child in her embrace from master meng

  the child didn't cry or make a fuss; he just stayed quiet

  Over the months, granny Yu noticed more of the odd behavior

  The child would not move, cry, or make a fuss. The only time she heard anything from him was when he soiled himself

  he would make noises to grab the nearby servant attention, who would change him

  If you fed him, he would feed, but he would never cry or even make a sound if he was hungry

  The child was skinny and frail

  it took a lot of effort from granny Yu to make the child gain some weight and strength

  In a month time, he became healthy and strong enough to crawl

  Granny Yu had emptied her saving to buy pill panaceas and spiritual objects that would improve the physique of the child

  Even though the child could crawl, he never went anywhere never moved around like the children his age should do

  The babe was beautiful, but he never smiled. He never even open his mouth

  He would just sit for hours altogether staring at nothing in particular

  A year and had passed since master meng handed the child to her

  The child could now walk, and she had brought him to the courtyard so that the child could walk

  And enjoy the outdoors a bit and breath some fresh air

  The child did start to walk, but he just went to the middle of the courtyard and just sat down

  It had been 3 hours, and all he did was stare at the sky

  Granny Yu felt great pain her heart

  There was a lump forming in her throat

  Yesterday she had master Liu ren take a look at his spirit, and master ren had said that he had not found anything wrong physically or spiritually.

  "Still, there is a chance that he could have hurt mentally and turned into an idiot" he had said.

  Granny Yu had been shocked by the news.

  As she looked at the poor child, she broke down in sobs

  He was supposed to be a great hero who would have shocked the world,

  but instead, he turned into an idiot

  And all because of her because she felt afraid

  AS granny Yu stood there crying

  The child named Liu wang sat there staring at the sky

  If anyone had come near him

  They would notice him mumbling something to himself

  If they would have come closer,

  they would see clear crystal tears falling silently from his eyes
