A handsome young man appeared in her eyes, he has protuded long hair , top half of his hair was a goldish-white while the bottom half is black enhancing his uniqueness. Clad in red cloak along with a three-eyed, three-tailed wolf, a monster she had never seen or heard before was hanging around his shoulder.

Black ink-like markings could be seen around his eyes and in his hair making Xia Qingyue unable to avert her eyes, his golden eyes seems to be shining with light amidst the darkness like the moon.

This man's elegance along with his sharpnes was producing an attractiveness that would most likely be fatal to countless females.

Leaning his back at the front door with his hands on his chin, he smiled and ignored her question. Qingyue regain from shock and circulated her profound energy, coldness started to form but couldn't materialize because the man's figure dissappeared from where he stood. She couldn't sense him..

A jade-like white hands suddenly appeared behind her holding her chin, his breathing can be felt from her ears: "Just like the rumours said, a drop-dead beauty"

When she heard it her anger erupted. Circulating her powers, she grabbed the white hands touching her chin and slowly froze it.

Si! Si!

Hannya soaked his hands with "fear" preventing it from continuing. He smiled: "I thought you were frail girl but you're quite fierce."

He turned his back to Qingyue and made his way to the window.

"Who are you? What's your point of coming here?"

Hannya stopped and glanced at Qingyue: "I just want to confirm if the rumours are true."

He jumped out of the window, his robes fluterred and dissappeared.

"Nurarihyon, that's what everyone calls me, if fate allows it, let us meet again" His words rang in Qingyue's ear.

Xia Qingyue moved towards the door and gaze at the place where Nirarihyon's figure dissappeared.

"What a strange man" she muttered.

...

Xiao Clan Mountain Area, Reflection Gorge

Within the mountains situated north of the Xiao Clan, Karasu Tengu was observing the a tightly closed area.

The interior was dark and humid; it has narrow entrance, it was unlikely that an excessively violent Profound beast would intrude inside.

"So this is the Reflection George that Sōdaishō was talking about."

Su! Su!

Black smoke smoke rose from Karasu Tengu's body, his wings slowly spread open. He was about to move when he noticed some movements coming from the back, he looked towards the location where the movements came from.. spreading his legs, his right hand was on top of his sword handle; Battoujutsu stance. His eyes narrowed down into slits.

Slowly a figure of a young man appeared. 'Huff' 'Huff', Greed couldn't help but curse in his mind. This body is too weak, he was about to continue running when he noticed a silhoutte in front of him.

"You got 2 minutes to explain your intention of coming here. If I'm not satisfied only death awaits."

Yun Che turned his attention to the man or to be exact a demon crow in front of him. He said "Karasu Tengu." And tried to steady his breathing.

Karasu Tengu was stunned, his pressure loomed around the young man in front of him."Who sent you and why do you know me?" Because of his careful personality he didn't immediately assumed and asked.

"I'm here because... I was.. ordered by.. Nurarihyon-sama"

"Sōdaishō? I understand." When it was confirmed he retracted his "fear" and the atmosphere turned calm.

"What did Sōdaishō ordered?" With that Yun Che immediately told Karasu Tengu the situation. "I see. Then let's immediately save the two. I don't really understand why Sōdaishō wants to save those two but knowing him I'm sure he got a good reason. Let's go and stop dilly-dallying here." He grabbed Yun Che and spread his wings shooting to the sky living a fierce wind in his wake.

...

The outskirts of Floating Cloud City, in the corner of an abandoned house.

A young man around the age of fifteen was walking around the area while surveying his surrounding,

His pure black long hair that protrudes out the back of his head while the lower part of his hair was tied in pony tail, Wearing a kimono with green and black stripes and a white cloth draped over his shoulders and zōri yet despite his unique appearance it seems like everyone on the streets was ignoring him.

It was none other than Nura Rihan in his yokai form, he was extremely bored so he decided to slip away and tour around the city. He noticed a huge building which attracted his attention, he made a decision and decided to take a look at this place.

The lamps inside Xiao Clan lit the way.

Nura Rihan stepped through the gate of Xiao Clan and casually walked in a straight line, without the least bit of cautiousness in his posture. As the disciples of the Xiao Clan walked passed him, no one took a glance in his direction, with Nurarihyon's bloodline running through his veins, it's easy to move around unnoticed unless someone stronger than specifically search for him.

When he arrived at the Guest Hall, Rihan halted in his footsteps as he silently listened at two people talking in a secretive manner.

"Boss, if the Xia Clan hears about what we did to Xiao Lie and Xiao Lingxi what do you think would their reactions be?"

"Hmmph, what a stupid question, I'm sure they would not mind and we also have Xiao Kuangyun in our back so even if they interfere there won't be any results, he'll be coming tomorrow to select a disciple from our Xiao Clan back to the main house. haha"

"Hehe, with Xiao Che's death, I'm sure Xia Qingyue would accept if you try to woo her."

"Ofcourse, who would dare to refuse this Xiao Yulong?" With an arrogant tone he declared.

Rihan got bored at their conversation and was about to leave when he heard the name "Xiao Yulong". Touching his chin he observed this guy who is supposed to be someone that he needs to thrash around in front of many people.

A young man of medium build. He has a refreshing face and he seems to be around Nascent Profound Realm 3rd stage. Nura Rihan muttered: "Really I don't know why Oyaji would want me bully this person, sigh"

this weak guy may be weak but it seems like this 'Xiao Kuangyun' from the main family might be strong. What a coincidence it is since they would also give this Xiao Clan a 'visit'.

He turned around and dissappeared from the Xiao Clan Headquarters.

...

When Hannya arrived at the inn, no one was around so he thought that maybe Karasu Tengu brought Rihan with him, he went on top of the roof and took out his pipe.

He sat at the chair near the window, he took out his pipe and afterwards a rich oaky smell of the fire permeated the room, wisps of silver grey smoke curled and danced their way through the thick, hazy air.

After a few puffs, a figure opened the door and Nura Rihan's figure appeared, Hannya turned his head and was a bit surprised, the Rihan infront of him greatly resembled him, he seems a bit taller when he's in yokai form.

"Heh, it seems like you didn't come with Karasu Tengu. Where did you go?"

"I went to look around the city, By the way Oyaji, I encountered this Xiao Yulong guy earlier. The one you told Karasu Tengu about..I wasn't sleeping so I heard, hehe"

"You brat, eavesdropping is not a good act."

"Haha, it's the first time I heard a yokai talking about good acts."

Hannya was stunned, not just the figure but it seems like when in Yokai form his "son" acted diffirently.

"Hoh, you got some guts talking back, huh... Anyway I have something for you."

"Sorry, sorry.. What is it?" Rihan's closed one eye opened and shone with excitement.

Hannya asked the system to transfer Sky Poison Pearl to Rihan. With a wave of his hand a green light shot through with great speed to Rihan's left hand.

"This is?" Rihan looked at his dad with a confused expression.

"Go discover it yourself. It's something good, don't forget to thank me later. Oh before I forgot, go to the mountains behind Xiao Clan and help out Karasu Tengu." Hannya kicked out Rihan outside the room while leaving those words.
