"I want to be like Cheng-shixiong!" Lei Ling said as they slowly flying on their sword to match Lei Ling's pace. They're on their way to Zhongyang.
Fei Yin, Feng Mo, Li Tian and Lei Qing almost fell from their sword. Fortunately, You Rou pulled her back. However, Lei Qing's face is dark. Li Tian has a helpless look on his face. Feng Mo looked like he had eaten shit. Meanwhile, Fei Yin's face couldn't be any blanker. In order for Lei Qing not to kick Lei Ling off his sword, Fei Yin – as the da shixiong, spoke. "Were you mistaken, Lei-shidi?" Fei Yin asked.
Lei Ling, who was flying on his sword with the help of the Sticking Talisman, shook his head. "No! I really wanted to be like Cheng-shixiong!" he repeated.
Lei Qing's face is darker than the rain clouds afar. However, even if he'd beat Lei Ling until their parents couldn't recognize him, seeing Lei Ling looked very determined, she could only give up and sulk while You Rou comforted her. You Rou gave up on flying on her sword. She has trouble balancing her body on the sword. Even the Balancing Talisman can't save her. She becomes dizzy when she's in a high place. She needs someone to accompany her. Since Lei Qing can't fly on You Rou's sword since You Rou is weaker than her, then You Rou can only fly on Lei Qing's sword.
Cheng Sheng, Lei Ling's idol, spoke. "Nice choice, Lei-shidi!" he grinned. Their face was covered in dark lines because of that. You Rou just giggled. After all, she's a fan of Cheng Sheng, too.
Lei Ling, whose eyes are sparkling while looking at Cheng Sheng, nodded. "Yes, Cheng-shixiong!" he said. This is blind following another blind. One1 has a thick filter in his eyes, while the other one2 is oblivious to his own faults. Thus, they traveled with three3 people having a dark face as they listened to the two4 people looking brighter than the sun who, one was boasting his 'achievements', the other one listening with worship in his eyes and the remaining two5 were awkwardly sandwiched between who don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Zhongyang Capital.
Sun Yi coolly looked around the capital, a smile was on his face. His handsome face looked sunny, which turned gloomy after Chen Han – who looked aloof, opened his mouth and spoke something completely opposite of his character. "Sun-shidi, when do you think Ah Sheng will arrive?" Chen Han asked as he anxiously looked around, seeing the cultivators looked colorful wearing different sect uniforms. His fingers were tapping the hilt of his sword non-stop. However, his anxious appearance was masked by his cold expression.
Sun Yi, who knows better of Chen Han's real face, stifled a sigh. "Da shixiong. According to Cheng-shidi's letter, they will be travelling in a seven-person group. Thus, their speed will decrease." He explained.
Chen Han sharply turned to Sun Yi. "Ah Sheng sent you a letter?!" he asked, completely grasping the wrong point.
Sun Yi coughed. "Cheng-shidi wants to surprise you. But, you now know." He shrugged and looked away, covering up for Cheng Sheng. Seeing Chen Han's pleased expression, Sun Yi knew he made the right choice. He and Cheng Sheng, ever since the Youxiwang Sect was saved, were exchanging letters – though not frequently, since Wu Yuan would be jealous. Cheng Sheng was asking for some advice from him about suppressing his cultivation level. Sun Yi would answer him and, in return, would ask for some gossip from Cheng Sheng. Cheng Sheng really has a glib tongue. He knows Sun Yi wants to know his1 and Fei Yin's relationship, thus he was sending him about Fei Yin's recent strange behaviors. Sun Yi would be entertained, but the thing is, Cheng Sheng could also ask some advice from it! Sun Yi was losing here. But, for Sun Yi, as long as he was entertained and his curiosity was satisfied, he's okay with anything. Furthermore, he owns a publishing house in Xiwang. It sells longyang2 books. At first, it was only about his and Wu Yuan's stories, but later it became Chen Han's after Chen Han went to Xinfaxian in the past and fell in love with Li Tian. Now, Cheng Sheng's fame was on the rise thus Sun Yi plans to sell Cheng Sheng and Fei Yin's stories.
"Ah Tian…" Chen Han called in the empty space. Aside from Cheng Sheng, it was Li Tian who Chen Han was excited to see.
"'Ah Tian'?" a voice spoke. "Who is this 'Ah Tian'?"
Sun Yi and Chen Han turned. They saw a group of disciples wearing blue and white robes. They are from the Shanliangde Sect. "Xi Shi…" Xi Ming, the eldest disciple of the Shanliangde Sect, called in warning. He has a warm expression of his kind-looking face. One would like to befriend him at first glance. Some can't help but warm up to him after knowing his genial attitude. He doesn't behave like the eldest disciple. But, there will be time he'd be strict – like now.
Xi Shi, who spoke earlier, frowned. But, he had to shut his mouth now that Xi Ming was mad. He just sneered at Chen Han. Chen Han, on the other hand, ignored this discourtesy of a junior. He isn't petty, and the Youxiwang Sect is known for his benevolence. Thus, he didn't spare a glance on Xi Shi and he turned to Xi Ming who's leading his fellow disciples. Xi Shi, seeing Chen Han doesn't even look at him, his expression turned green. Xi Ning, who was silently standing on the side, covered her lips and laughed. She's obviously making fun of Xi Shi – her cousin. Xi Xing, her and Xi Ming's adoptive brother, just did his part to become a background. His eyes are looking for Gong Xian, though, who knows where he went to. But, Gong Xian – being the sole disciple of the Earth Peak's master, Ho Yue, has always been a solo fighter. Thus, it's reasonable he'd separate from their pack.
Sun Yi spoke to break the tension created by Xi Shi. He secretly looked at Xi Shi in disdain. "Greetings, Xi-xiong." He cupped his hands to Xi Ming. Chen Han followed. Chen Han left them earlier when they arrived in Zhongyang since he wants to find Cheng Sheng, Li Tian and the other Xinfaxian sect disciples. Sun Yi has no choice but to follow him and stop him from doing anything stupid. Their fellow disciples can't keep up with them thus they were left behind to look for their shixiongs.
Xi Ming returned the greeting. "Sun-xiong. Chen-xiong." He called, then turned to Chen Han. "Chen-xiong. Please forgive my cousin earlier." He said and glanced at Xi Shi. His gaze is sharp.
Xi Shi was displeased but he can't be disobedient. Xi Ming has always been good-tempered, thus Xi Shi could only grit his teeth and bow his head to Chen Han. "Chen-shixiong. I apologize for speaking out of my turn." He said.
A flash of scorn appeared in Chen Han's eyes as he looked at Xi Shi, but it immediately disappeared. However, Xi Ming saw it and he can't help but sigh. His cousin is too disorderly. Xi Ming knows Chen Han hates Xi Shi. Before, Xi Shi was insulting Chen Sheng when the news about Chen Sheng being inept in cultivation was exposed. The Youxiwang Sect and the Shanliangde Sect has always been competing. Xi Shi, from the branch family of the Xi – one of the supporting families of Shanliangde Sect, is better than Chen Sheng so he always bullied Chen Sheng. Chen Han can't beat him up, so he always became cold towards Xi Shi. Chen Han had told him before, which became the biggest insult to Xi Shi –
"You're just from a branch family. How can you compare to my younger brother? Even if my younger brother has no talent in cultivation, but he's more worthy than you. Scram!" Chen Han said with cold eyes that pierced Xi Shi's heart and made his bones cold. Starting then, he hated Chen Han and Chen Sheng.
