Chapter 88: Yao Luying.

“Jun'er?”

Guo Luo couldn't help but speak out when she saw Yao Jun freeze as he stared at something further down the street. Yao Jun did not respond to her, instead dragging her along as he moved towards the youth wearing the Yao clan robes.

“Excuse me.”

Yao Jun stopped behind the youth and tapped him on the shoulder. If this youth really was from the Yao clan, there was a good chance that he knew of a way to return to the Grand Quan continent.

“Yes?”

The youth turned around to face Yao Jun. The youth had a completely unremarkable face, slightly tanned and rough skin. A small nose, thin lips, and two black eyes. He had brown hair that hung down over his eyes, covering half of them.

“Are you from the Yao clan of the Grand Quan continent?”

Yao Jun had never seen anyone using the same insignia as the Yao clan, but that did not mean that it was impossible for there to be a clan that just so happened to have the same insignia. This meant that he first had to find out whether or not this person really was from the Yao clan.

“Yes, I come from Boulder Fortress City. Can I help you with anything?”

The youth was slightly surprised when he heard Yao Jun's question. There were not a lot of people on these small continents that knew about the Grand Quan continent. Mostly it was only the leaders of certain large clans that knew about the Grand Quan continent and how to get there.

“I am Yao Jun, I come from the Great Rock City branch of the Yao clan. I ended up stranded on this continent after getting caught up in a Natural Spatial Node. You wouldn't happen to know how to return to the Grand Quan continent?”

While Yao Jun spoke, he drew a few strange symbols in the air. These symbols were used by the Yao clan, proving that someone was from the Yao clan and which branch they belonged to. Yao Jun had also heard about Boulder Fortress City when he was a child.

While Great Rock City was where the biggest branch of the Yao clan in the Great Yan country was located, Boulder Fortress City was where the main headquarters of the Yao clan was located. It was one of the four largest cities on the Grand Quan continent.

“Ah, so it is a fellow brother! You must truly have bad luck to be sucked up by a Natural Spatial Node. I am Yao Luying.”

The youth, Yao Luying, put on a bright smile after he heard Yao Jun's words. It was very rare for him to meet others from the Yao clan when he was on vacation, it was especially rare for him to meet someone who didn't try to flatter him immediately.

“Brother Luying, would you happen to know how to return to the Grand Quan continent? I have been gone for far too long, my parents must be worried to death.”

Yao Jun sighed in relief as he spoke. He had finally found a glimmer of hope for returning home, he could return to his parents. He would still have to work hard with his training, lest he become too weak to protect them, but at least they would be near him. Once he was strong enough, he could then return to this continent to reclaim his interspatial ring.

“You are in luck brother Jun! My vacation is ending tomorrow, so I plan on returning to the Grand Quan continent using the Spatial Array of the Guan clan. You can join me then and we can return together!”

Yao Luying pat Yao Jun on the shoulder as he spoke with a bright smile, but Yao Jun's face sank as he heard his words. Yao Luying noticed Yao Jun's expression sinking. Yao Jun put on a wry smile as he started explaining.

“It seems like we can't return together brother Luying. One of my friends might have encountered an accident a few days ago, so I can't return until I have found him and made sure that he is fine. But I must thank you for telling me that the Guan clan has a Spatial Array. Once I have found my friend, I can use that to return.”

Yao Jun wanted to return to his parents, but he was too worried about Yun Yantian to leave without finding him. Because of this, it was impossible for Yao Jun to follow Yao Luying to return to the Grand Quan continent. But at least now he knew of a way to go back, through the Spatial Array of the Guan clan.

“I see, it seems you have your fair share of worries. But don't worry, since you are such an honorable brother, I will make sure to send word of you to your parents once I return. Tell me their names and which branch they reside in.”

Yao Luying sighed and shook his head upon hearing Yao Jun's words, but he found that he quite liked this youngster. He had been stranded on an unfamiliar continent for who knows how long, but he still chose not to return immediately once he was given the chance, all because he was worried about his friend. Such a person was exactly the type of people he wanted in his Yao clan.

“Thank you brother Luying. Their names are Yao He and Yao Xun, they live in the Golden Moon branch. If you could tell them that I am still alive and fine, I would be grateful.”

Yao Jun sighed in relief after hearing Yao Luying's words. If he could send word to his parents that the was still alive, then they could stop worrying so much.

“No problem brother Jun, I will make sure that they get your message. I must return now, otherwise my assistant will start scolding me for returning too late. Once you decide to return to the Grand Quan continent, you can give the Guan clan my name, they will then allow you to use the Spatial Array.”

Yao Luying beat his own chest as he spoke, handing Yao Jun a small token with the Yao clan insignia, before he turned around and started walking away. He had come to the Guanyu continent on a vacation, but his assistant still ended up finding him and forcing him to work.

Yao Jun could not help wonder about the identity of this Yao Luying as he was watching him walk away. He looked and spoke like a youth, but he talked about having an assistant and that using his name would make the Guan clan let him use their Spatial Array.

He quickly shook his head and threw away the thoughts. Just thinking about it would not let him find the answer, so he would just have to wait and see if he ever met him again, he could ask him then.

“Let's go.”

Yao Jun spoke to Guo Luo next to him, a bright smile on his face, as he dragged her towards the inn. Now that he had found a way that they could use to return to the Grand Quan continent, and even found a way to deliver a message to his parents, he was in an excellent mood.

The two of them returned to the inn and ate a nice dinner, before they walked a bit more around the city. Once night sank, they returned to the inn and went to bed, they would head out once the sun started rising.

Once the first rays of the sun started shining over the horizon, Yao Jun and Guo Luo were standing on a hill a good distance away from the city. Yao Jun brought out his gate and summoned Little Gray. He placed the gate on Little Gray's back, and brought Guo Luo with him as he entered.

With the gate on Little Gray's back, they could stay inside it while Little Gray was flying over the ocean. Yao Jun did not usually do this, as he enjoyed the view from Little Gray's back as he was flying.

But he two reasons for doing it like this for this trip. Since they were inside the gate instead of on his back, Little Gray could fly for longer without needing rest, as there was no weight on his back to encumber him.

The other reason was that Yao Jun was planning on using this time to start training in the technique that Sword Empyrean Heng Jiang had given him, giving him another trump card that he could use in battle. Once they entered the gate, Little Gray let loose a loud screech and flapped it's wings, shooting into the air and starting the journey over the ocean.
