Next morning, Lin xue was preparing for his departure when someone knocked on his door.
He went and open the only to find a beautiful lady in purple robes standing in front of him. she slightly bowed to Linxue and give him a letter without saying anything.
Linxue bowed back before taking the letter in his hand with puzzled expressions. On the letter seal of a phoenix and sword was engraved, it was ingesia of head Mistress of the sect, it means that Lin wei had sent the letter.
mother have sent a letter for me
Lin xue hurriedly opened the letter. it read
my son I hope you have recovered, I'm writing you this letter to inform you that i have gone out of sect for important business so, you should head out first, i will meet you at your grandfather's home after i have found those bastards who harmed you till it is best for you to live their.
this lady's name is Tang xie, she's a disciple of mine, she will make sure that you reach your destiny safely.
with love, your mother
after reading the letter, lin xue looked towards Tang xie.
Tang xie looked to be in her early 20s but, looks are deceiving in this world and as cultivator become stronger, they age slowly. Lin xue asked her to wait for sometime then he went inside his cottage.
after sometime he came out. He was wearing combination of yellow and white which was color of robes worn by outer disciples of the sect. around his neck was a light green colored jade pendant that Lin wei had given to him on his arrival in the sect.
" senior sister tang, let's go" said Lin xue to tang xie
to which she nodded slightly and began to walk toward the exit.
the entire Nine sword sect was divided in Nine peaks and seven halls.
the Nine peak were martial arts school, each specializing in different kind sword arts.
only those who were in spirit root realm could choose one of the peaks to cultivate.
on the other hand seven halls were like auxiliary to Nine peaks and they are responsible for management of the sect, one such hall is resident hall which oversea the accommodation of the disciple. the place where Lin xue live comes under that hall. these residents are mainly located in foothills of seven peaks.
the distance between his residence and departure wing, which comes under transportation Hall was almost 10 Km which took both of them around 20 min but, during all that time Tang xie didn't spoke a single word to Lin xue but he tried to speak to her multiple times but she would either nod or shook her head for answer. which was really annoying for shadow but, he didn't mind as once he was the same soon they arrived at departure wing.
It was a wide ground on the foot of Sect, where all kind of animals were being domesticated for the purpose of transportation. lin xue and Tang xie arrived at one of the counter to book a black wind horse for their travel. just like it name it was a majestic black horse, almost three times the size of normal horse with little horn coming out of it's head.
" hello! i'm LInxue and this Tang xie...." just as lin xue was talking with receptionist for booking, tang xie suddenly placed a paper on the reception desk. when reception lady saw it. she immediately nodded and told them to follow her.
Lin xue who was watching from side lines couldn't understand what's going on when a voice rang in his ear.
" Master, that note was from Master, I could sense her aura from it, looks like she have already arranged a ride for us" said shadow
oh! right it must be mother
while in thought he subconsciously followed Tang xie and receptionist they reached on special grounds where in fields a gigantic beast was standing. the size of almost five times that of normal horse. it had scale of golden color on its neck with two clearly disguised horns and a scaled tail, one that looked like a dragon's tail.
" Master Linxue, This is a dragon horse, found only in depths of abyssal plain. it is demon beast with grade 3 core and this will be your ride for today" said receptionist as she gave signal for rider to get it ready.
" 3rd grade? doesn't it mean..?" said Linxue subconsciously.
" yes, it mean he is as powerful as human master in golden core realm." replied attendant pridefully."
suddenly the horse which was in standing till attacked the attendant taking care of him and began to scream loudly which sounded little bit like dragon and even before anybody could react he started to run towards LIn xue's group.
It took only two second for it to cover distance of more than 300 meter and only shadow who was hiding was able to see him move but, even she was not able react to his sudden movement.
just as it was about to hit them. the time stopped for the the horse it as became rooted in ground as it didn't understand how he got stopped.
Lin xue was equally confused as for him ,he was happily chatting one second and another second suddenly a horse came and stopped right in front of him.
same was receptionist's reaction, only person who wasn't confused was shadow because she saw what happened just now, a shadow went past his master.
the person that did it was
" master, its Tang lie, just now that monster was about to attack us when she ran behind it and she bounded him to the ground even before it could react." said shadow.
