Chapter 738: Fiancée (2)

(Unedited)

…

Gabriel wanted to walk forward but suddenly frowns upon seeing the handsome young man in front of Alea as she walks towards that young man. A complicated feeling overcame his expression as he watches while she talks to the young man while giggling every now and then.

Not long later the two separated and Alea continues with her shopping in the market district.

Alea wanted to be with Master Si Ji, but she knew that she would cause him trouble if she stayed with him due to the family following behind her. Luckily for her, the message she wanted to convey to him was sent stealthily and he responded by secretly handing her a piece of paper.

The people around her did not notice that and while shopping she secretly peeked at the letter. She saw what Shin Jiao wrote in it and a smile crept on her face.

The place and location for the array plate are written on the piece of paper. She knew that if she uses that array plate, she would really reach the lord's level in just a month.

With her cultivation of 300 years, her body is already prepared to accept that huge amount of power. She just needed a device or a catalyst that could provide her as such. However, within the city or any place in the immortal land, there is no such thing. It is hard to control the universe element in the air which always baffles the array masters.

Even in creating a barrier, everything is maintained in a balanced and there are no energy fluctuations in the air that could cause chaos to the Dao.

But what Shin Jiao learned is different. He has learned a higher form of an array that could control the universal laws. Though he could only touch the basic at this moment, yet it is already enough to fascinate even those saint rulers of the immortal land.

After Shin Jiao left, Gabriel sent someone to follow Alea Zin while he himself followed Shin Jiao.

Not long later, he saw the young man entering a tea shop.

He entered the shop and immediately saw Shin Jiao walking to the second floor.

While sitting on one of the tables on the second floor, Shin Jiao noticed a young man suddenly sat on the opposite side of his table.

He did not know who the young man is but knew that this is the same person who is tailing him a while ago.

The two look at each other and observe each other's appearance.

Shin Jiao is wearing a robe with a bluish hue which makes him looks like a young master of a clan. While Gabriel wears his favorite white robe and holds a white paper fan with mystic arts drawn on it.

"Good morning… I am Gabriel Osmond, and who might this young master be?" Gabriel said with a polite gesture.

Shin Jiao was a bit taken aback. He expected this young master to throw his weight around and hearing that he belongs to the great Osmond clan, Shin Jiao knew that this young man holds a high position in the clan.

He might even be a young master of the 2nd generation of the Osmond clan. And if he is, then Shin Jiao would find it hard to face this man with the big power behind him.

But contrary to his expectation, the young man seems humble and friendly. Even his tone is controlled and showing neither a haughty nor overbearing attitude.

"Good morning! I am Si Ji, I'm just a regular merchant from Gipard town." Shin Jiao replied.

"Oh… so you might be one of the people that escorted the mistress of the Zin family."

"Yes, we traveled to Omin city together with other people."

"Ahhh… I see… you must have developed a great friendship with Miss Alea Zin."

When Shin Jiao heard this question, he suddenly had a realization. He might have discovered that this young man in front of him might be Alea Zin's fiancé.

Upon thinking up to this point Shin Jiao carefully reassessed the young man and thinks about the reason why he is so friendly towards him.

However, he did not show this to his face as he just calmly sips the cup of tea on the table. He then gestured for Gabriel to do the same.

With calmness in their eyes, the two keep their calm while enjoying the scent and aroma of the tea.

"Young master Gabriel is interested with Miss Alea?" Shin Jiao asked calmly.

"Hmm… Yes… I have my eyes on her ever since I first saw her. How about you… Master Si Ji?" Gabriel replied calmly then shifted his gaze towards Shin Jiao with a smile.

Shin Jiao knew that this young man is trying to prove his and Alea's relationship. He knew that this man might be the fiancé, and as her friend, he wanted to see if this man is really good enough for Alea who holds boundless talent and potential.

As a friend could only hope for the best for her.

"Hmm… Miss Alea and I are friends… but I would not want any random guy to be with her… even if that guy belongs to a powerful clan." Shin Jiao said with a slight smile on his face while his eyes are on the cup on the table.

Hearing the words of Shin Jiao Gabriel seems to feel a large burden being lifted from his back. Though he is still doubtful he knew from Shin Jiao's reaction that he is not interested in Alea Zin. This is because he could see in the young man's eyes that he longs for someone who seems to have not existed in the world anymore.

It was the eyes of someone longing for the one he loves that passed away. And this expression in the young man's tranquil aura made Gabriel looks highly at the young man in front of him.

With a faint smile on his face, he knew that he has met a kindred spirit.

"Master Si Ji… If you would, I want to invite you to my home…" Gabriel suddenly blurted out without thinking twice.

This invitation seems to have woken Shin Jiao from his calm stupor. He shifted his eyes doubtfully at the young in front of him.

"Don't mistake my intention… I just feel that you and I share the same sentiments when it comes to women. In fact, in all my 300 years of life in this land, I did not dabble in any type of relationship with any female. My heart is set on making myself stronger. That is until I saw her…" Gabriel explained as he shifted his eyes outside the window.

Then a faint smile appears on his face, a smile of longing and contentment even though he could just look at the woman he loves.

Shin Jiao heaves a sigh at this hopeless romantic person in front of him. Who could have known that the fiancé that Alea is trying to escape from would be this kind of person? A person who is willing to wait for her and would only be contented in watching her from afar.

He shifted his gaze and there he saw the figure of Alea being followed by a few guards and some maids.

Shin Jiao smiled and decided to intervene. Though he did not fully trust this person yet, he knew that he would be a good candidate for Alea Zin. Gabriel is a man who is willing to take care of her and has a great background to help her reach the top.

"Alright, I will take you up on it…" Shin Jiao said with a smile.

Upon hearing Shin Jiao's words, Gabriel was a bit taken aback as he did not expect Shin Jiao to agree so fast. He suddenly stood up.

"Let's go then, I wanted to ask you a lot of questions privately…" Gabriel seems to be feeling excited as he gestured for Shin Jiao to follow.

Feeling a bit helpless, Shin Jiao could just heave a sigh and follow behind the excited man as the two left.

On the road, Gabriel made sure that he would not be seen by Alea as he just looks at her from afar with that longing and loving gaze. Shin Jiao who saw this just shook his head and smiled.

The two soon reach a large courtyard with many servants going to and fro. The guards guarding the courtyard show their imposing aura with their customized golden armor gleaming. Shin Jiao noticed the large golden sign above the gate, Osmond Clan.

He knew that this is not the main clan as this only a courtyard, but he knew that this courtyard belongs to the main Osmond clan.

Soon they enter a room with many paintings and calligraphy strewn all over the place. Plus there are also many scrolls and array formations lying on the ground. With one glance Shin Jiao knew that those array formations are failed array formations. But some of them still emit slight energy fluctuations which made him smile.

Soon the two enter a room. As soon as Gabriel opens the finely crafted wooden door, he was startled to see someone inside the large room.

This reaction from him was also noticed by Shin Jiao. So he curiously peeked from behind Gabriel and saw a handsome man wearing a leather vest over his finely crafted silver robe. From the looks of the man and his imposing manner, Shin Jiao knew that this man holds a high position in this house.

"Uncle! When… when did you return? You should have informed me earlier!" Gabriel's tone suddenly changes as an excited expression appears on his face.

Shin Jiao is now curious who this person that the young master of the Osmond clan excitedly greeted as his uncle.
