'I can't see.' That was the first thought that came to Xie Ren's mind as he regained consciousness. He tried to move his body but it was to know avail because it felt like something was blocking any and all of his movement. As he thought of the predicament he was in, cold air wrapped around his body. Xie Ren opened his eyes and what appeared before his sight was a giant man, at least from Xie Ren's perspective.

 

The man was wearing a light blue robe with a white sash around his waist. He had broad shoulders and lean muscles that looked as if they would explode with power at any given moment. His long, silver hair was tied up in with a blue ribbon and black eyes looked down at Xie Ren with unending love.

 

"It's a healthy baby boy," The man said as his smile got wider with happiness.

 

At this point, Xie Ren knew that he was now a newborn baby. He was filled with shock as he remembered the events that happened prior to his death.

"Let me hold him." a gentle voice sounded.

 

Xie Ren snapped out of his thoughts and turned his head to an incredibly beautiful woman. Long, silver hair were splayed on the bed and her smooth skin glistened with sweat. Though her face was pale, her black eyes were filled with warmth and affection.

 

The giant man walked over to the bedside and gently handed Xie Ren over to the woman. As she held him, she rocked him side to side.

 

"What beautiful eyes he has," the woman said happily.

 

The man looked at Xie Ren face and nodded his eyes in agreement.

 

"Yes, I think father once told me what amethyst colored eyes meant but I forgot," The man said with a bit of embarrassment. "But I do know that it is extremely rare."

 

The woman nodded and thought of an issue, "What should we name him?"

 

"Mmm, what about Bai Cong?"

 

"That's a nice name." the woman, who Xie Ren now knew was my mother, said and looked back down at Xie Ren, "Welcome to the family Cong'er."

 

"Hahaha," a boisterous laughter sounded, "Where is my grandson, let me hold him".

 

The man who appeared to be in his early 30s, walked in looking joyful with a big smile stretched across his face. He walked across the room to the bed and Xie Ren's carefully mother handed him over to the man. As Xie Ren was studying him, the man was doing the same to Xie Ren. He also had silver hair but his were cut short. The same black eyes also looked out from their sockets.

 

"What unique purple eyes" he said as he looked at Xie Ren surprise. He then turned to Xie Ren's father and asked him what Xie Ren's name was.

 

"His name is Bai Cong."

 

"Bai Cong," he repeated to himself slowly, "That's a good name but he must work hard to get stronger to be the pillar of the Bai Family."

 

" Yes father, I will raise him well."

 

"Good," the old man said, "I will take my leave now." Xie Ren watched him as he turned around and left the room as quickly as he came in.

 

Tired, Xie Ren closed hsis eyes and drifted of to sleep as he reflected on all the events that transpired today and clenched his tiny fists as he recounted on what happened to get him in this situation.

 

'The person who I trusted backstabbed me, Gou Fan you better be ready.' Xie Ren thought as a bit of bloodlust seeped out from his bones.

 

'The heavens have given me this chance of a new life', he thought to myself, 'Now, I will use it to kill that vicious woman.'

 

Looking down at himself, Xie Ren made the decision to completely start anew. 'My parents gave me the name Bai Cong. From now on, I am no longer Xie Ren.'

 

Xie Ren, now changed to Bai Cong, decided to start his day the next morning with slowly gathering Qi slowly into his body to purify his bones and inner core to pave a way for his future training.

 

With a plan set out, Bai Cong drifted off to sleep.
