A feeling of joy could easily can be over come with a bit of jealousy
After a long journey, our heroes reached the Temple of Tranquility, where Mata's servants awaited. At the temple, Perinka—a Kalii mercenary hired by the High Balancer Shakti—awakened to the ringing bell of the sanctuary. She looked left and right, scanning every inch with her eyes.
"I can't see him..." Perinka muttered at the doorstep of the room, where her dear friend Xingcai was waiting. The outsider Balancer was now two weeks pregnant. Due to her status as the only outsider—and also the only Jiangshi Balancer—the rules of virginity did not apply to her. Therefore, Xingcai was allowed to marry Sima Tong.
When she saw Xingcai, Perinka felt a great wave of happiness. Looking back at Perinka, Xingcai said in her soul-soothing tone:
"May the Divine Sire bless you, O dear friend. I saw your special friend leaving when I was coming to your room. You should be careful, Perinka... Shakti is not one to trifle with."
Then, a wave of silence covered the air. Perinka's heartbeat quickened. Frozen in place for a few seconds, she couldn't move.
Before she replied or say anything A other balancer came to where the two of them were standing then she said to Xingcai : your seeker husband have reached the gates of the temple but ..
The other balancer didn't speak for while then said with confidence tone: but he's came with Lady Parvati
A cloud of jealousy covered over her feeling of joy again ...are you sure what proof do you have fellow balancer Xingcai said the other balancer replied to her as she seemd more confident than ever: may your divine sire help you I heard that Parvati is the long lost princess of devimara the fallen Kalii Kingdom an...

After the both of them returned to the inside of the temple exactly to the center of the temple where a magnificent statue of Mata the heavenly order goddess is located it's said only the high balancer can directly communicated with her through the statue perinka bowed before the statue her hands clasped together in prayer she prayed in quite voice Xingcai sat on the ground she also started praying for her patron god the divine sire while they' were busy praying
