Chapter 42 - Investigate His Whereabouts

Ha!

Fwoosh

Clank

Fwoosh

Haaah!

Crack

Panting, movement and noise could be heard in one of the courtyards of the Lord of the City's Mansion.

A gentle, charming figure fluttered through the air, making surprising movements.

She was Long Yuyin.

She had been training her skills with her two swords in each hand.

Each sword in her hand was made of the finest quality materials that could be found. Since she was a child, her father had trained her and she had become accustomed to the mastery of two swords, so when she grew up, she went deeper into the way of the double sword.

Her blades were not as long as a normal sword or saber, they were slightly shorter. Perfectly sized and adjusted so that she could maneuver correctly and without any difficulty in her movements.

Her amazing figure danced in the air as she made such incredible movements.

Since that time when she nearly died along with her father from that demon beast and was saved by that young man, she has been training even harder. She wants to be stronger, like that young man, so she will have the ability to protect herself and others.

Who was he?

How come he's so strong?

Where does he come from?

Are there really other cities besides Star City?

Her head was filled with questions related to that young man named Ling Tian. Since that time, that powerful and mysterious figure had been ingrained in her mind. She didn't know what she was feeling, admiration? Fear? That incident completely changed her life, as she realized that the world was not as simple as it had been before.

The only thing she was sure of was that she wanted to be as strong as he was. Because of this, her obsession with martial arts was further reinforced and she continued to train more every day.

She had hoped to see that young man again, but for several days now, there had been no news about him.

Long Yuyin could not help feeling a little disappointed, to which she went out several times and went through every star city alone or with her father, in search of Ling Tian.

For some reason, she felt a little sad and disappointed that she could not see Ling Tian again. She even wanted to ask him many questions, about how he became so strong, where he came from and to see that legendary flying sword. She dreamed of being able to fly the skies like Ling Tian.

What person wouldn't want to fly through the skies? Feeling free in the air and flying through the clouds should feel great.

Fwoosh

Long Yuyin ended with a horizontal movement of her small right sword while defending herself with her left sword.

Hmm?

Long Yuyin turned in one direction and watched a person enter the study where her father was at the moment.

What is Uncle Zhang Chao doing here?

Did something happen to Sister Xinya?

Long Yuyin put her weapons aside, while drying her sweat with a towel. She would always take a bath after training, but, seeing the patriarch Zhang here, she could not help but look around and know the reason for his visit, therefore she sneaked into one of the windows of her father's study while listening quietly.

Just when Long Yuyin had come close enough, she could hear what Patriarch Zhang said.

"The young man we've been looking for is here in Star City!"

What?!

The news rumbled like thunder through Long Yuyin's body.

Have he really been here in Star City?

He's really here!

Unknowingly, Long Yuyin flashed a happy smile on her beautiful face while her heart beat incessantly at the news that this young man had appeared once again.

She could not help but let out a hint of her power when she was moved by such news, so she immediately relaxed and retracted her aura. She did not want to be discovered. Slowly she watched and realized that neither person had noticed her presence, therefore she could not help but breathe a sigh.

Zhang Chao continued to talk about what had happened.

The more she listened, the more surprised Long Yuyin became.

A horde of demon beasts nearly wiped out the entire Zhang family?

Even Sister Xinya was chased by a demon beast in the King rank?

But... that young man had suddenly appeared, saving the entire Zhang family by eliminating more than 50 demon beasts himself?

Sister Xinya was also saved by Ling Tian?

Did she even receive a divine elixir from him, crossing two ranks, reaching the rank of 3-star King?

Did he even leave her a powerful and sharp spear as well?

Long Yuyin knew that, Ling Tian was really amazing. She was sure of what her father had said, he was in the God rank! Such power, was not someone who could show. Even her father could not fly like him or kill that demon beast he saved us from, he really seemed to have become a God.

Such a young man, with incredible strength, stirred up the fighting spirit in her to become stronger.

Did he really not want to be found?

Listening to what her father and Uncle Zhang said, she could not help but frown slightly as she thought.

After a while, she heard that the two people changed the subject and finished talking about what they wanted to say about that young man, so she returned to her room quietly without alerting anyone.

While taking a bath in the tub in her room, she couldn't help but think about all she had heard.

Long Yuyin knew that her sister Xinya was behind closed doors stabilizing her power granted by that mysterious young man. So, she could not be disturbed while she trained, therefore she would wait until she was finished.

"He didn't want to be found?

Hmph!"

A trace of smile appeared at the corner of her lips as she said: "I will find you sooner or later... I will investigate every corner of the city and you will not be able to hide from me... b-big brother..." she blushed when she said the latter.

Once there was news of him, she would be inspecting every corner of the star city.

"Since I can't ask Sister Xinya about him right now, then... hmm... maybe I can ask Sister Wanying or Sister Shuiruo, they might know something...? Anyway, I might as well tell them that, if they have any clue about him or find him, they should let me know right away, hehe."

Long Yuyin's eyes shone with a mysterious light while a sly smile formed on her delicate lips.
