Auction...

Tianlei doesn't leave her yard, cultivating and practicing martial arts until six days later.

           Tianlei and Mei mei are already dressed and prepared, ready to set off to the Pinling auction house in the city. She wants to greet her mom before she leaves, but sees her mom talking with her dad and Grandma in a place of rest/chill in her dad's backyard garden...

Tian Lei: Die die(father) good morning (she runs and grabs his arms).

Tian Hong: silly girl 😏 you finally remembered me instead of Martial arts huh.

Tian Xiling: 😮‍💨 don't mind your father. You know this son of mine, no more than a 5yr old 😒😏.

         Tian Lei sulks. Pouting her lips, she quickly leaves him to go hug her mom and grandma at the same time, and this makes her dad pretty stunned and then he sighs😮‍💨... Her mom speaks...

Tian fei: darling, how have you been? Mummy rushed from where she travelled when she heard you were sick, only for you to be better. I'm so glad. Let's see how your progress goes, and next or before next week, I'd be training you.

Tian Lei: I'm sorry for making you worry mother. I'll try my best to become stronger, so I won't make you worry, and also in turn, protect you.

She stops to think for a while, and continues speaking saying,...

Tian Lei: Mom, do you also practice martial arts?, c'os I haven't sensed no power fluctuations from you. Ever!

The 3 elders laugh in unity, and her grandma speaks.

Tian Xiling: I won't expose much, but your mom is great. If you're not convinced, you can "try" sparring with her a lil' 😏🤭.

Tian Lei: hmmm,... Okay mom, what do you say we spar a little?

Mei mei who they seemed to have forgotten her existence in their presence quickly in reflex speaks, flinching...

Mei mei: Young Mistress, elders(bowing/Greeting) the auction Will Start in an hour and 30mins time and the venue is an hour's horse ride from here, please...(she's interrupted by Tian fei)...

Tian fei: it's alright dear. It's just a matter of seconds😏 she says in a mocking way looking towards Tian Lei.

Tian Lei's mom leaps from her seat, turning the whole garden to a sea of snow, her hair loose, and veil off, she removes her coat revealing this...

N/B: the mother's dark skinned, blue eyes and white hair. The blue eyes and snowy blue-white hair was inherited by Tianlei.

She beckons on Tianlei who was suffering a bone chilling freeze to proceed, using one finger. Tianlei tries the most basic god martial arts skill in her past life,... At least, her current strength can use one percent of it's power.

Tianlei says," Lei dao(lightning way) she's already levitating and the place becomes very dark, with the clouds in a spiral movement... Lightning descends on the mother...

Lights fade out to a scene of Tian Lei in a Speedy Carriage with Mei mei heading towards the auction house...

Tian Lei's thoughts: IS IT JUST ME, OR I'M CRAZY TO THINK THAT MOM IS ALREADY A "god"? THE WAY SHE WAVED MY LIGHTNING BACK TO THE SKY AND IN LESS THAN A SECOND, I WAS FROZEN "GOLD"(AS HARD AS GOLD). SOMETHING'S FISHY. I HAVE TO FIND OUT...

They arrive at the entrance of the auction house, where a lot of nobles from far and wide enter. A deacon of Pinling sect who's stationed at the auction house, welcomes her and walks her to her vip room.

Deacon Han: Young miss welcome.

Tian Lei: mm... Han Feng sir, your too polite.

Deacon Han: Nali Nali(Where, where) Madam(President of this branch of the Pinling auction house.) prepared a special VIP room for your Tian family as usual...

They walk there and deacon Han leaves saying if she needs him, she should send for him. The Auction's about to start...
