The next morning, Nan Heng was in the library reading some book. Wearing a white shirt with a dark green robe. Reading a book about history about the sect, mythical beast, and divine sword.
'Reading the actual history book hit different than reading it from the novel.'
The novel only give a simple explanation about these thing, especially the Daedalus Flower Sect. The novel only mention it twice, not giving a detailed infromation about it.
Dang Zai who was just walking by the hallway, passed the library room. He look at Nan Heng reading with a serious face.
'Huh, i see now why he ask about the library.'
Dang Zai continue walking down the hallways after that, not wanting to interrupt Nan Heng while he is reading.
Nan Heng spent the next 4 hour, reading book in the library. He closed the book he was reading, he stand up and returned it back to the bookshelf. Feeling happy, he walked to the sect yard. He then sat down, feeling the air around.
"Hey, you done reading?"
Nan Heng look toward the voice, it was Dang Zai. He was holding a wooden sword, there were sweat all over his body.
"Yeah, i'm done reading. It was worth it."
"Good for you."
"You were? Training?"
"Yeah, as you can see."
Nan Heng didn't notice it at first, but as he observed more. Dang Zai body was really muscular, and his Zhu, Nan Heng could feel it.
'This guyn i didn't realize it at first. He is already at the level of peak Hanzhu. Which mean he is stronger than me.'
Dang Zai noticed thst Nan Heng was staring at him, saying nothing.
"What? Is there something wrong?"
"No, i'm just surprised with your body. You're really muscular."
"Well, this is the result of my hardwork."
Dang Zai smiled proudly, while looking at Nan Heng.
"So, what's the future plan for the sect? Are we going to recruit more people or?"
"Well, yeah. I mean it's just only me and you here. There's no way a sect will be acknowledged with only 2 people right?"
"That's true."
'Wait a minute.'
Suddenly Nan Heng had a thought in his mind.
"Why don't we travel around to nearby town. Maybe we can recruit someone."
Nan Heng suggested that idea.
"That's a brilliant idea! But there's just one problem."
"I geniunely don't know about any town outiside here."
"You don't have map?"
"No... i don't have any map. I've never get outside."
Nan Heng widened his eyes.
"Alright, let's just buy some map."
'I really don't want to get lost. This world is too big and mysterious for me.'
"Good idea."
Nan Heng and Dang Zai then climbed down the mountain. Going into the town.
'Oh yeah, i forgot asking about this town.'
"What's the name of this town?"
"Tianqin Town."
"Ahh, i see."
Both of them walked into a shop, asking if there's a map. The owner walk to the container behind him, opening it. He pull out a small sized paper from the container, it was a map.
"How much for it?"
"3 silver, that's the price i can give you."
Nan Heng pulled out 3 silver coin from his pocket,
"Here."
The owner grabbed the silver coin as he handed out the map to Nan Heng.
"Glad to do bussiness with you."
"You too sir."
Nan Heng and Dang Zai left the shop. Nan Heng then look at the map.
'Let's see what's the nearest city from here.'
He look at the map, watching all the town name being marked in the map.
'Alright, this place is the nearest from here.'
"Let's go here."
Nan Heng point his hand at a marked spot in the map.
"Changdong Prefecture?"
"Yes."
Nan Heng was pointing toward Changdong Prefecture in the map.
"Alright, let's go then."
Dang Zai was about to go, when he noticed Nan Heng was just staying still, not moving a single bit.
"What are you waiting for?"
"Hold on a bit."
Dang Zai was confused.
'A prefecture, maybe we can recruit strong people there.'
Nan Heng thought they maybe could recruit strong people for their sect. Or even a wealthy person to help their sect financial, that was what Nan Heng aiming.
'But, if it's a prefecture, there's probably going to be a big sect there.'
Every prefecture have one sect that live inside there.
'This is going to be hard, recruiting people there.'
'And worst, we could make them enemy just because we're recruiting people in their territory.'
Nan Heng thinked about his plan really hard. He doesn't want to make enemy with other sect, especially the big one. After thinking for awhile, he resolved his mind.
"Okay, let's go now."
Dang Zai then let out a huge smile, as both of them depart to Changdong prefecture.
'If we really make enemy out of them, we'll just apologize. Fuck pride, we're just small sect. Dang Zai will understand if that happend.'
'I'll rebuild the whole sect, back to it's glorious day. Slowly but surely, one step at a time.'

"Senior sister, why are we in a place like this?"
A man with a handsome face with a short black hair wearing a blue shirt and a blue robe, was asking the woman beside him, a woman with a beautiful face with a platinum long hair, wearing a white shirt and a long white robe.
"Shhh, don't ask. Just follow me."
Both of them continue to walk in a dark alleyway, the road was dusty, and it was also silent.
"We're here, Raise your guard."
"Wait what, why senior sister?"
"Just do what i ask."
Their breathing changed, as they slowly walked inside a building. Both of them feel nothing inside the building. As they go deeper, they still feel nothing.
"Let's split up."
The woman whispered to the man beside him.
Both of them then split up, searching the whole building. Countless hour passed by, both of them then accidently met again.
"It seems they know that we were coming here."
"Just what are we searching senior sister?"
The woman ignored the man. The man couldn't do anything but sighed.
'Alright then if your not going to tell me.'
"Let's return."
"Alright, senior sister."
Both of them then walked out of the building, both of them jumped toward one of the roof. They began jumping, from one roof to another. Until they reached a building.
"From here, don't follow me."
"Whatever you say, senior sister."
The woman then left the man alone. She jumped toward the top, with just a single jump. Reaching the top, she then stand down on her knees, bowing her head down.
"Greeting, sect master."
"Raise your head, Ning Yan."
Ning Yan raised her head, looking at the sect master.
"Master, those bastard were already gone when i arrived there. It seem they knew that i was going there."
The sect master touched his beard, looking confused.
"There is no way for them to know that you are coming, except... someone tell them that you were coming."
"Master, Are you suspecting that there is a traitor among the disciple?"
"I hope my intuition is wrong, but for now, don't trust anyone Ning Yan."
"I will keep that in mind, master."
Ning Yan then left the building, jumping out of from the top floor toward the bottom.
***
"We've finally arrived."
Dang Zai was stunned, he looked around his surrounding, as he never went outside Tianqin town.
"We have arrived? Finally..."
Nan Heng followed him from behind, while crawling on the ground.
'Gah! That was really tiring, i really think we should buy a horse or something.'
Both of them finally arrived at Changdu prefecture.
