In a world called The Seven Seas, where immortals live for thousands and millions of years, connected to the world of humans which they called us as mortals. I myself is a mortal and so are you. Have you ever wonder that there will be another world beside the world of humans? an immortal standing beside us when we are not even noticing?

What I'm about to tell you now, is a story, filled with love ,hatred, forgiveness, sadness, sacrifice, the hurtful feeling of losing something dear and the precious memories that somehow lost somewhere.

.

In The Seven Seas, the clans there live in harmony and peace, their job is to help both of the worlds live in stable condition and become the ruler of the worlds. Every god and goddess, king and queen, fairies and apprentices and every immortals in The Seven Seas have their ability to master themselves, from a creature to a fairy, from a fairy to an apprentice and from an apprentice to a goddess.

This story starts from XueLian clan, a princess who is going to be an apprentice of a god from the Celestial clan, people called him as the sword of victory, he is the god of war in the Celestial palace also a prince from the Celestial clan.

"Quick, if you don't want to look bad in front of your master." ZheShang God impatiently said to the young princess, the young princess of the XueLian clan is not an easy person, she doesn't trust people easily except being persuade by ZheShang, the god and the protector of XueLian clan.

She goes on her journey with him to Sheng Celestial, where the god of war teaches and trains his apprentices. She never wanted to go to the god of war, she just wants to be free for the the rest of her life, but the sake of her clan, she thinks herself as the future queen of XueLian and accept the advises from ZheShang.

"Why not just use your flying powers to get there?" , they walk their way to Sheng Celestial which is very far to get there by feet, but ZheShang always do the best for her, he wants her to get to know the roads clearly in case she can't use her powers one day.

On the long journey,they finally get their feet in the entrance of Sheng Celestial gates, ZheShang hides her cat form and powers to seal her identity and protect her from troubles related to her identity. They went into that place and saw a group of boys wearing light green clothes chasing after a jade flute that is flying around the place, making them all busy.

After one catches it and lets it go, another catches it again but doesn't manage to hold onto it, the jade flute suddenly sense its master somewhere around the area and fly towards the person, the others continue to follow the jade flute and try to catch it again.

"Quick! catch it before it flies away!" they all struggle hard to catch it and they all run into ZheShang and the young princess of XueLian in the end. The jade flute flies in high speed and was caught smoothly by the young princess. Looking at jade flute,she felt weird, "Who are you? What are you doing here in Sheng Celestial? outsiders can't just simply came into Sheng Celestial!" one of the guys said to them loudly.

As the princess was about to talk back, a voice from the inside of Sheng Celestial palace suddenly speaks "What is the ruckus going on out here?", the group of guys turned, kneel down and said "Master!". She was not supprised but amazed by the guy they call master.

"What brings you here ZheShang god?" he said gently making the princess felt no hope in becoming skillful with his attitude. "I brought a little girl from the forest to XyeLian, and I thought she will be a gret apprentice if you accept her." he was hesitating, thinking about the real reason why ZheSheng brought her here, he uses his powers to look into her real identity, it turns out that she is the princess of XueLian clan.

He never accepts any female apprentice before, but he had a second thought because of the jade flute that chose her to his master a while ago. 'There might be some connections with this little girl' he thought in his mind, he invite the both of them inside and the other apprentices stand up after greeting their master and the god.

they all seated and they talk things through, "Are you willing to be my apprentice?" asked the god of war to the disguising princess.She is a straight forward person, she ask why is he so calm in front of the other apprentices, "How dare you speak rudely in front of our master!" said the guy who sits near to the god of war.

"Of course I want to ask before I become one of his apprentice,"

"How rude--", "Enough..." said the master who was hesitating for a while just now.

"What if I'm not a calm person but a bad temper person instead, would you be my apprentice?" he answered her with a very calm tone, she started to put a little of her trust into the god of war, she peeks back at ZheShang, and ZheShang nods at back at her, telling her to accept him as her master until she masters up her powers and become a goddess and the ruler of XueLian clan, protecting the XueLan mountain.

She accepts the god infront of her as her master,she kneeled down and call him her master. "From today onward, she will be one of your sister who will be training with you all together, we shall call her as fifteen, the fifteen apprentice in Sheng Celestial."

She thanked him for accepting her as an apprentice and start to get to know the other brothers of hers in Sheng Celestial. "Why do you accept her so easily?" "Isn't that what you want me to do?" "Come on, there must be something else than just that..."

He remains silent without answering his question, "Those question might be answered one day." answered the god of war, XuanCheng to ZheShang.

She is the princess of XueLan Mountain, the future queen of XueLian clan. She is both the protector and the responsible. Sometimes she lacks doing the right thing and failed to show herself as a real princess, she is still young and naive, still in the progress...

The princess of XueLian Clan, who is now hiding her princess identity and call herself as the fifteen apprentice in Sheng Celestial to practice and master up her hidden powers and become a goddess. She treats her seniors the way she treats her family back in her hometown. A week had passed, she is slowly getting used to the environment and the rules in Sheng Celestial, with the help of her master, the great god of war and her other fourteen seniors, she started to practice her powers and strength, but she is still the old her.

The princess is someone free, no controls and live her own life with her own will before she had the name fifteen, although she hid her identity well and manage to change her name, her personality never changes. She is still the same young girl who likes to cause trouble and do things with her own will.

"Fifteen! master wants to see you." A fine day to meet with her master, they have never really talked after that day, so she was nervous to meet him or even nervous to put her head up.

"Master, did you looked for me?" she said smoothly to not make any mistakes.

"Fifteen, come with me." walked past her and walk through the door to the garden.

In Sheng Celestial, there is a garden where a lily pond was located, filled with lilies. But the real reason was never only because of the lilies if it comes to the god of war, there is always something else.

"Next time, this garden will be in your care."

"What---?" in surprise, she was unable to accept the fact that she is now the owner of the garden. "I'm still new here, and you leave this garden in my hands? This garden is filled with your favorite lilies, you let someone whom you just are known to take care of your precious and valuable things?"

XuanCheng, the god of war, looked at her surprising look and answer her, "A teacher who doesn't put trust in his student, would that be okay for you? how do you feel if I do have that kind of attitude?"

She was speechless, saying the wrong thing and make herself look bad in front of her own master. he continues and says, "I leave this garden to you because I trust you as much as how I trust your seniors...", "Take good care of the garden especially these lilies, don't tell me you can't even take care of a garden..."

She nods quickly and promised him to take care of the lilies. She started to feel the warmness between her and her master, which means their relationship is starting to build up. She felt that her master is an easy and fun person to talk to when they are alone.

From that day on, she wakes up earlier than the others and went straight to the garden after cleaning herself up. Watering the plants and look after the lilies, sometimes she talks to the lilies as her friend, plays with the lilies...

She likes it that way, she has her own personal time to spend and to do whatever she wants to do.

For some reason, she went to the garden to look after the lilies after their training session, as she was playing with the lilies, a question suddenly pops out of her mind and asks herself why...

'Why did the master accept me as his apprentice?'

"Mr lily, why do you think master accepts me as his apprentice?" she asked a lily that can't respond to her question.

The Next Morning

Everyone gathered at the Sheng Celestial Hall for their history lessons, talking about the histories of their kingdom, The Seven Seas. Of course in the learning progress, they did talk about XuanCheng's histories in wars, how a man became a great warrior. Also, learn about the histories of every clan in the kingdom: Celestial clan, Demon clan, QingXiu clan, XueLian clan, ShenTuan clan, BaoJin clan...

In the kingdom of Seven Seas, the Celestial clan is in charge of ruling the immortal world, every clan in the immortal world including the Celestial clan are all rulers, they rule together but the one who holds the upmost power to rule is the Celestial clan.

Talking about the histories of the clans in the kingdom, after the highly Celestial clan, the second highly respected is the XueLian clan, then the BaoJin clan and so on...

She was not distracted by the talk about her clan, she didn't show her identity but only make herself as the outsider picked up by ZheShang to XueLan Mountain. She was not really comfortable but trying to conceal the truth and bear with it.

"Fifteen, how do you met ZheShang?" her sixteen senior asked. After that question, another comes. "Do you know the peach blossom trees in XueLan Mountain? I bet they are beautiful..." "What does XueLan Mountian look like?" "Are they XueLians good?"... she can't answer since there are too many questions in a row.

Suddenly, fourteen asked her, "What does the princess of XueLan look like?" everyone began to question only that, there is a big secret which no one accept the people of XueLan Mountain know, the princess of XueLan that keeps herself hidden ever since young, never shows herself or tells herself as the princess of XueLan.

But XuanCheng had see-through her identity, he could only watch the silliness of his students, didn't know that the princess of XueLan is actually the whom they speak to. 'Why did the topic suddenly change to me?' she questions herself in her mind.

"Alright, that's enough of questions, even if you ask fifteen she wouldn't know since she is not from the XueLian clan but a cat picked up by God ZheShang in the forest and sent her here to learn. Everyone was speechless for forgetting their master who was the teacher.

'Thank goodness master helped me, I felt sorry that master didn't know who I am... just wait master, one day you'll know...' (but actually he already knew from the start)

“Master, fifteen is missing!” fourteen came in running, hearing the news from him, XuanCheng was startled, He instructed his disciples to search for fifteen, he searches outside of Sheng Celestial Mountain with some guards, search everywhere for an hour without any results.

Thirteen hurried back to XuanCheng, thought that it is weird to have something like this happen, “Master, no sign of fifteen at all.” everyone is worrying, trying to think of a solution. A guard came with a lily flower and shows it to XuanCheng.

“This is from the garden, where did you find it?” Asked XuanCheng to the guard standing in front of him, he answered and clearly said that the flower was seen on the way to the Sheng Celestial Hall, thought that maybe the flower was a clue to them that she was kidnapped.

“But no outsiders including gods can simply come into Sheng Celestial accept us, the gates here were always sealed by master's magic.”

XuanCheng was not mistaken by his own powers, he has been in Sheng Celestial for over 10 thousand years, guarding the same place with his own powers, there is no way outsiders can freely walk around Sheng Celestial, not to mention coming in and out.

“Or maybe...someone who's been here long before us, someone who knows this place well, ” said Chen BingYu, the eldest senior.

“That's right, gods who know the magic of Sheng Celestial would only be the heavenly god, god ZheShang and…”

“Xu YuLing…” XuanCheng suddenly speaks. No doubt that the only possible one to kidnapped fifteen is her, the god of spirits, goddess Xu YuLing.

XuanCheng brings third senior brother and fourteen along to LingHun Mountain, wanted to rush to her and hopes that everything is alright.

On the other hand...

“Where am I?” looks around her with the unfamiliar environment, stands on her feet and starts to walk around, as she was about to do so, a woman in clear white clothes came to her along with two servants. She recognizes the woman, at first sight, it was the woman who she met a few days ago, goddess YuLing.

Not long ago, goddess YuLing visited Sheng Celestial for her master, wanted to have a fair fight with him. She was pissed since XuanCheng doesn't want to, rushed out of Sheng Hall with anger and accidentally bumped into fifteen. She was slightly shocked that XuanCheng had a female apprentice in his Sheng Celestial, that is where the idea came from.

She was actually attracted by fifteen and asked her sincerely whether if she wants to go to her place and be her foster sister, holds the same power with her in LingHun Mountain. Of course, fifteen declined her offer, she herself is the princess of XueLan and has the same level power with her, why bother to accept the offer? to embarrassed XueLan? She won't want to get beaten by her father.

Goddess YuLing was angry that a mere apprentice dares to refuse her offer, she left Sheng Celestial angrily. Think about giving XuanCheng and fifteen a lesson, "Since she is XuanCheng's one and only female apprentice, she must be precious to him, if I took her away from him, I wonder what will he do? at the same time, I will teach that brat a lesson for looking down on me..."

"Goddess YuLing?"

"Don't you know you're status? do you not know how to give your respect when you saw a goddess?" one of the servants yells at her fiercely.

"You kidnapped me and took me away from Sheng Celestial and now you want me to bow and respect your goddess? I must be crazy to do that!" losing her patient, she talked back at the servant and clearly tells her that she is just a servant, cannot be compared to an apprentice.

The servant was pissed by the humiliation, goddess YuLing started to talk. "I can still give you a chance to take my offer you see..." "I won't accept even if I have to die." "You asked for it. Grab her and follow me, she can't use her powers and strength anyway since she is still weak."

The two servants grab her arms and follow the goddess from behind. She can't struggle harder, her body is too weak to fight back. They came to a place with an underground cell filled with water, looks deep, she was not afraid because the goddess will definitely torture her since she doesn't accept her offer, but worries instead, because she can't swim well, plus with her condition now, she'll probably drown.

"Throw her into the water." as she expected, the servants threw her hard into the water and close the cell. Still gaining some consciousness, she tries to swim up to the surface, the water is deeper than what she had expected.

"Keep struggling, you don't want to accept my kind offer? then I'll use you as a bait to get XuanCheng here and teach you a lesson too, enjoy..." She struggles harder this time to survive from the water, she must live, to teach her a lesson back, but now she needed help, she doesn't think that she could struggle any longer, in her mind, she calls 'Mom...dad...god ZheShang...senior brothers...master...anyone...anyone...help...'

At the right time, the guards that were guarding the place was knocked down by a powerful god accompanied by two men, using his magic powers, he opens the cell fiercely and takes fifteen who was nearly drowned, out from the water, carries her in his arms. Her seniors were worried looking at the weak and helpless fifteen. XuanCheng stares at goddess YuLing with cold eyes, goddess YuLing was about to shiver, yet masters up her courage to act brave and bold, "Looks like this female apprentice does look important to you, god XuanCheng."

"YuLing, you should be careful when you use your powers on anyone, they might be someone whom you should also put your respects to, especially when it comes to my students."

"I know she is important to you, I just wanted you to have a fair fight with me in exchange for her safety in the future."

XuanCheng carries fifteen and goes out from that place with third senior brother and fourteen, about to leave, "Tomorrow, at Sheng Celestial training space." XuanCheng said to goddess YuLing, accepting the challenge made by her.

Third senior brother and fourteen made eye contact with each other, signify that someone is going down terribly tomorrow.

Back at Sheng Celestial,

XuanCheng carries her into his room and lay her down on his bed cover her up with a blanket. He checks her pulse and fourteen came in with water and damp clothe, XuanCheng place the damp clothing on her forehead. He asks fourteen to inform the others that fifteen is alright and told them not to worry and go back to their rooms to rest. Fourteen was relieved and leave fifteen to his master's care.

"Sorry for coming late..." XuanCheng apologizes to fifteen who is now lying on the bed unconsciously.
