Ouch... Lian’Er! Why are you here!?” Said Xiao Che with a confused expression.
The girl was wearing a black robe with an orange dragon pattern. Her robe only covered her upper body and her left arm, while her right arm was decorated with armlet and guards. On her right palm, a black dragon tattoo was painted clearly. Her face was pretty and her expression showed a deep longing for Xiao Che. She then realized that the both of them were in a peculiar position, she quickly stood up with a reddened face and calmed herself down.
“Ahem... I’m here to help you in what the heck you are doing!” Said Lian’Er while rubbing the back of her head.
“Huh....”
Xiao Che was confused hearing Lian’Er explanation, suddenly another familiar face came to the room too; he was a middle-aged man with a scar on his face. Same like Lian’Er, he was wearing a black robe with an orange dragon pattern on it, but this person robe was old and rugged. His right hand was also decorated with armlet and guard, and the same dragon tattoo was painted on his palm. With a smug face, he said to Xiao Che.
“XIao Che, are you not happy that your dear friend comes all this way from Chang’An to meet you?” Said the man with a smug, while standing like a drunken person.
“Ohh... Drunken Old Man, you are here too?” Said Xiao Che with a bit of dissatisfied face.
Hearing all the ruckus, another person came into the room. the person was a girl too, her face had an elegant look and her hair was long, she was wearing a common black robe and she seemed dissatisfied with what happened on Xiao Che room.
“You two... Why do you guys come here?” Said the girl with a tired face.
The girl spoke with a flat tone, Lian’Er who saw her, then talked back.
“Xia Yu, is it wrong for me to see my friend!?” Said Lian’Er with a bit annoyed face at Xia Yu.
“It is wrong if you are this loud. Do you think the neighbour wouldn’t hear it, quiet down will you!” Said Xia Yu as she goes head to head with Lian’Er.
After a few minute, the 4 of them talked quietly in the dining room. Xiao Che seemed happy that Lian’Er and The Old Man came, different than Xia Yu who seemed annoyed that both of them came, she then asked them.
“So... Why do you guys come here....” Said Xia Yu calmly on the table.
The Old Man then started to talk seriously, but his face still showed his usual smug
“Xia Yu, we know about Xiao Che Great Dragon Fire is getting restless by each day, we also know that you are here to control it.... what we don’t know is how?”
“So knowing you, you must have already thought of an “only plan” to “safely” control the fire. and so that’s why I and Old Man Tang is here to help Xiao Che if any case you “might” get in trouble...” Said Lian’Er full of tease.
“Heh... do you have no trust in me?” Said Xia Yu with a Smug on her face
Xiao Che then smiled “There, there, let’s get to the point shall we....... We are planning to get The Pill of Sovereign Rest from The Heavenly Blessings.” Said Xiao Che with a joking, yet serious tone.
“Xiao Che, don’t we already ask the Heavenly Blessing for The Pill?.... Did they refused us?” Asked Lian’Er with a concerned looks.
Xiao Che looked at Lian’Er with a small smile.
“The Leader was kind enough... to beg the Heavenly Blessing for the Pill, but they still wouldn’t give it to us....” Said Xiao Che with a grateful yet sad face.
“The Pill of Sovereign Rest is a pill that acts as a token of honour for the Great 10 Sect of The JiangHu Alliance. They are the only people that have the right to receive The Pill, unfortunately for you, The Ravaging Flame Sect is on the neutral side of the JiangHu, so you can’t ask for it...” Said Xia Yu with a flat tone.
This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
“The Heavenly Blessing Sect really did that! Do they really wanted to let an innocent person die because of some Rules!” Said Lian’Er with a contempt expression.
Xia Yu then Said “The Heavenly Blessing is a sect that put discipline at high priority, it would be weird for them to suddenly “Break the Rules”, besides, for a great Sect like them, what is the importance of 1 person. And so, that’s why a couple of days from now, we are going to “Asks” The Heavenly Blessing again, for the Pill.”
“How do we going to get that, we are far from Chang’An...” Asked Lian'Er
Xia Yu smirked and said
“Stupid girl, if we are going to literally ask them again, then we won't travel all the way to Sichuan! Hear me out, I got an info from the Underground World that in a couple of days, a small group of Heavenly Blessing member will come to E Mei Town....”
“Hmmm.....” Both of Lian'Er and Old man Tang head started to lean toward Xia Yu.
“It seems that they are planning on extinguishing The Crimson Sky Sect for good...” Said Xia Yu as she started to focus.
“Oh!? So The Crimson Sky Sect finally manage to anger the Heavenly Blessing huh?” Said Old Man Tang
“It seems so. but our target is not these ordinary Heavenly Blessing member, our target is the one that’s leading this raid.... The Genius from The Heaven, Fei Gua!!” Said Xia Yu with great confidence.
“!?”
Both Lian’Er and Old Man Tang was shocked hearing Xia Yu explanation, there was concerned about this plan, Lian’Er then said
“Fei Gua, the would-be leader of Heavenly Blessings! The God-Like Prodigy of Heavenly Art and Healing! That Fei Gua! Are you sure about this?”
Xia Yu nod.
“Yes, that Fei Gua, and Yes, I’m sure about this” Said Xia Yu seriously.
Both Old Man Tang and Lian’Er looked at each other with worries painted on their faces, Xia Yu then said
“Listen first!..... According to my analysis, Fei Gua seems to be a cocky bastard who doesn’t know his own Strength. My scout told me that he only brings 15 Heavenly Blessing member on this “Fight” to extinguish The Crimson Sky Sect, The Crimson Sky Sect has Lu Guo a Greater Heavenly State Warrior, and other Cosmic Heavenly State veteran, not to mention people who are already in High and Converging Heavenly State are also a member of this Sect. And he, an 18-years old Young Boy dare to only bring 15 people to fight them. Cuih! The only thing he can do with 15 people is Clean-Up, besides, the Major JiangHu in Chang’An don’t even know what Spiritual State he is at now, knowing his age, I think he is still at Greater Spiritual State, Middle Heavenly State top!”
“Hmm, So we are here to get the ill from Fei Gua” Said Old Man Tang.
“Correct, it seems Fei Gua had the pill on his Void-Room Ring. Our job is either to wait until Fei Gua forces are eliminated and stole the ring, or fight them when they are weak if by any chance they are winning, or steal the ring when he is alone.” Said Xia Yu as she carefully persuaded Lian'Er and Old Man Tang.
Lian’Er and Old Man Tang seemed to agree with Xia Yu plan. Although there was still a bit seed of doubt, they thought this plan might really work, they had the element of surprise; but to meddle with Fei Gua, meant to meddle with the Heavenly Blessing, if this plan failed, and the Heavenly Blessing recognized them, The Ravaging Flame Sect would be at war with them. Lian’Er then looked at Xiao Che.
“Xiao Che, do you think this would works?” Said Lian'Er
Xiao Che looked down. In his heart, Xiao Che himself was not hundred percent sure that this would work, but he was willing to try, he looked at Lian’Er and said.
“Hmmm we’ll see, Xia Yu already has a solid plan, I think... I think we can try to do this..” Said Xiao Che with a smile and confidence.
From his word, Xiao Che seemed eager to do this plan. Xia Yu nodded at Xiao Che and Old Man Tang smiled with his usual smug, but only Lian’Er who was sensitive enough to see the doubt on Xiao Che expression.
That night, Xiao Che didn’t sleep, he stood on the balcony of his room looking at the star. he pondered about his own power and skills, all this time, he had been blessed with such a good friends and master, but when it came to his own power & skills, he actually really timid. Although all of his friends considered him to be “The Strongest” he himself never thought of that, Xiao Che rest his body on the balcony until he heard a knock on the door
*Knock *Knock
“Xiao Che, May I come in?” Said Lian’Er behind the door.
“Sure....”
Both of them then sit on the wooden balcony. Xiao Che continued looking at the star while Lian’Er looked at him with a gentle caring look. She knew that Xiao Che felt confused about something, she then asked him “Xiao Che, what are you thinking about?”
“Huh?..... I’m just thinking about.....”
Before he even finished his sentence, Xiao Che looked at Lian’Er with a worried and sad expression, he calmly asked her “Lian’Er.... do you think I have done good enough?”
“Hmm...?”
Xiao Che then said. “Lian’Er you remember when we were still children...”
“You mean when you still like to get bullied?” Said Lian’Er with a little smile on her face.
Xiao Che laughs a little “Yeah...... Hah..... back then I think I was truly useless…”
