'Hey, Rihan. I've got a feeling that-' after Hannya left, Jasmine spoke to Rihan but she was cut off by the latter.

"Little Girl, call me young master." With a deadpan face, Rihan spoke.

"Hmph, don't get ahead of yourself! What reason would I, this princess, call you young master?!' Jasmine was fuming with anger after being cut off in a serious atmosphere.

"Little girl, you're always serious, aren't you?" Rihan only laughed at her anger which made Jasmine even more angry, this man's happy-go-lucky attitude is hard for her who learned at a young age how hard life is.

'Stop calling me little girl, I have a name. This princess shall allow you to call me Jasmine.'

"I understand little girl, now tell me. What the conditions are for getting the new profound veins."

"Huh? Didn't you say you're not interested in the profound veins? Hmmph, so you were hiding your true feelings."

"I refused it?! How strange I can't remember refusing it." With an exaggerated shock expression Rihan said. It was as if he truly didn't refuse it once making Jasmine frustrated.

The truth is Rihan was really not interested in this veins but he needed to get stronger as soon as possible to help his dad in putting the onmyouji's in their place. He doesn't want to stay protected within his father's umbrella.

He only made his mind when his father found out about the girl inside him, also the connection that the girl have and the Sky Poison Pearl that his father gave him a feeling that everything that happened was within his calculations. Even though Rihan is not sure but with sufficient support he made up his mind.

"Don't mind the small details, what are the conditions?" Rihan asked while looking at the sky with a 'serious' expression.

'Hmmph, what a great way to change subject. Anyways, the first condition, you must promise to help this princess find three items… They are: A stalk of Netherworld Udumbara Flower, three Profound Beast Cores no lower than that of the Tyrant Profound Realm as well as… At least thirty-five kilos of Purple Veined God Crystal!"

"I see, it seems like you know a language I haven't heard about. Good for you." Rihan nodded as if he understood a thing and praised Jasmine.

"That's not a new language! You idiot!" Jasmine felt that she would lose a strand of hair from frustration if this conversation continues for a long time.

"Sigh, let me explain everyth-." After taking a long breathe to calm her boiling heart, she sighed and planned to explain everything but was once again cut off.

"Stop, it's much better if you just let me know when we encounter one." As if he found the best resolution Rihan had a smug expression plastered on his face.

"@/$$@_€×&&£+€" Jasmine finally exploded from anger, this guy again and again wouldn't read the atmosphere and just keep on saying what he wants.

"Calm down, little girl. Anger would definitely affect your growth." Without a care Rihan suggested.

Without knowing where to vent her anger, Jasmine fell in the ground powerlessly.

"So, what are the other conditions." Rihan added.

When she heard Rihan, a teardrop sparkled beside her eyes. She decided to stop talking for now or she might die from frustration.

Rihan on the otherside could only shake his head when he didn't hear a reply.

'Sigh, kids nowadays are getting more and more rebellious.'

Good thing Jasmine didn't know what Rihan was thinking or else she would definitely puke blood from anger.

Greed went back to Floating Cloud City to recruit Xia Yuanba, his former brother-in-law. He stood outside the Floating Cloud City for three hours until he saw a shadow that seems to be getting closer and closer.

Clip-clop! Clip-clop! Clip-clop! Clip-clop!

As the shadow got closer Greed can finally see the appearance of the man riding the profound horse.

The young man has a sturdy and tall body, his muscles were of a dark tan metallic luster and broadcasted his astonishing strength even without showing it.

After Yun-che's death Xia Yuanba felt extremely sad, despite his naive personality which doesn't suit a cultivator only Yun-che's the only one who treated him well while everyone hates him and he can feel that.

He decided to become stronger so he decided to train and enter the New Moon Profound Palace, thanks to his father's relationship with Vice Palace Sikong Han, he was accepted. He is now on his way to New Moon City.

While Greed noticed Xia Yuanba the latter also saw him which caused him to fall from the horse in shock.

"B-br-roth-her-in-l-laww." While on the ground Xia Yuanba sat on the ground while pointing at Greed with a scared expression as if he just saw a ghost.

"B-but I thought you died, could it be you became a ghost?" Yuanba added.

"Stop giving me that expression it makes me uncomfortable." Greed touched his nose with an embarassed look on his face.

"Brother-in-law, it really is you!" Seeing Yun Che respond, Xia Yuanba's voice grew somewhat louder as he rushed over with a face that brimmed with surprise and joy. As he ran over, even the ground slightly quivered; if one saw Xia Yuanba's posture, it looked as if he may be coming in for a bear hug. Greed could not help but feel his scalp go numb, and unconsciously took two steps back… If he was hugged like this, suffering a bone fracture would be considered as getting off light.

"Hold-Hold-on!" Greed quickly waved his hands, stopping the excited Xia Yuanba who'd almost hugged him. He then looked at him from head to toe, and asked spoke: "How are you? We haven't met in just a short time and you seem to have become a lot bigger."

"I'm doing well, I should be the one asking Brother-in-law a lot of questions." Xia Yuanba's face flushed with excitement: "A few days ago, I heard you died. I was extremely depressed and trained hard so I can investigate the real cause of your death. Phew, it's really good that you're alright. Where are you staying now? I heard that the Xiao Clan was attacked by the leader and young master of a mysterious clan, you should hide or they might do something to you."

"Don't worry about me, I'm currently a member of the Nura Clan, the one you mentioned. The leader was the one who brought me back to life." Greed spoke using the script Hannya gave him.

"Woah! The leader must be a god! I can't believe he got the ability to resurrect you." As expected Yuanba's eyes shone with amazement and awe. Without a change in expression Greed replied: " Yeah, I was really amazed by the leader of that clan, he's so mysterious and powerful."

"Oh my god! I can't believe it. Should we try becoming his disciple?!" Yuanba's excitement rose to a higher level.

Greed smirked on the inside 'he took the bait' with the finishing touch he made a solemn expression: " I tried doing that, he gave me a test. If I can pass the test, he will take me in. If you want to join you will also have to take the test."

"What's the test?!" Yuanba who had no idea that he was being recruited with the person he trusted the most asked.

"We need to follow his son to the New Moon Profound Palace and join the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament."
