292 Come Back

"Sister, why didn't you want to come back with me?"

"Like I said, I will only go back next year. You don't need to worry about me. Anyway, why did you even come to this continent?"

"Father sent me because of that accident where the sky suddenly turned to golden color."

"Oh, that one. What do you know about that incident?"

"We don't know anything except the sky turned to golden color. And many influences also started coming to this continent. We don't know anything other than that."

"Hmm... From this continent, it was clearer to see it was Lightning Tribulation."

"Lightning Tribulation?" She was shocked.

"Indeed. From what I see, someone in this continent triggered a golden lightning in his/her tribulation. When everyone came to the place, we couldn't find the person."

"Do you think it is a peerless genius that could trigger such a tribulation?"

"Hmm, maybe. After all, we never had any record of golden lightning. Song Jia, what are you going to do if you found that person?"

Song Yu's sister was called Song Jia. She came with the lady behind her, Sana, to find the cause of the golden sky. They also had speculated it was a person's lightning tribulation, but they didn't have concrete evidence.

They sent her to this place so they could investigate it. But Song Jia also came to Heavenly Sword Sect to check on her sister, Song Yu. She worried about her.

"We are going to invite him/her to join the Blackwade Clan, of course."

"What if it turned out to be a he and he is a peerless genius? Wouldn't father send you here so you can make some 'relationship' with him?"

"Sister, it is not good to joke like that." Song Jia shouted as her face became red.

"Haha..." Song Yu only laughed it off. Well, she also got some information about a certain individual. However, she was still unsure whether it was true or not.

"Sister, how about we search for this person together, then we come back to the Northern Continent together?" She tried to change the topic back.

"Like I said, I'm going to stay for another year according to my plan. Don't worry about me. I know how to take care of myself."

"But it is still frustrating. You are also a genius. If you are in the Northern Continent, you have already reached Martial King. But because you come to this continent, your strength barely reaches the 6-Star Martial Lord. Father and Mother also miss you."

"I also miss Father and Mother. It has been fifteen years, after all. But I have something to do on this continent, and I can't leave just yet."

"What is it? Do you find a man? You can't fall in love with a man on this continent. You will only be separated after you come back to the Northern Continent because he can't keep up with you."

"I don't have a man. Well, you can just say I am also gaining some friendship with one of our VIP customers." Song Yu said.

"VIP customer? Does this continent have our VIP customer? But I thought we already located all of the VIP card holders."

"I also don't know about this. Well, there is certainly something about his VIP card. Do you know anything about the VIP card that has two 'V' on the card?"

"Two 'V'? Do you mean two golden 'V'? I never heard about that, and our VIP card should only have one 'V' on the back of the card."

"That's what puzzles me too. I have checked his VIP card, but it is a real VIP card."

"Maybe grandfather knows something about it?"

"Yeah, you can ask him when you go back."

"Who is the one who holds this card, Elder Sister?"

"He is my Junior Brother."

"Your Junior Brother?" A surprised look planted on her Song Jia's face. From what she knew, there were only women in this place. Since when they accepted a male disciple?

"He is a bit special, you see. I think he even has more talent than me."

"Even more talent than you? Are you kidding Elder Sister? You are one of the four peerless geniuses in the Northern Continent. If the situation back then didn't force you to flee to this continent, you will certainly become the number one."

"Haha. You are exaggerating my power. Even I need to learn Sword from him, you know. Back then, he is only a Martial Master."

"What?" Song Jia's eyes opened wide. Even Sana, who calmly waited for Song Yu and Song Jia to finish their conversation, suddenly froze.

She knew how talented Song Yu was. But she said she learned Sword from a Martial Master. It was pretty unbelievable.

"Is he that good?" Song Jia asked.

"Yeah. If I didn't warn him, he might learn our Blackwade Clan's sword dance in a day just by watching it." Song Yu said. It was pretty amusing to see Song Jia's shocked face. She teased her, "How is it? Are you interested in him? Want me to introduce you to him?"

"Elder Sister, don't tease me. I don't need a man." Song Jia pouted. She certainly got curious after hearing such a person.

"Hehe... For a battle maniac like you, you should have a man to pin you down. If not, you will just challenge everyone here and there." Song Yu suddenly picked up something with her ears. "Speak of the devils. This guy finally came back."

"Hmph, since my sister has teased me like that. I am going to test him."

"Oi, wait." Song Yu was surprised by the sudden mood swing from Song Jia. But before she was able to stop her, she had disappeared.  She and Sana immediately chased her.

...

Outside Song Yu's house,

Alex was flying toward his house before suddenly, a woman blocked his path. She looked like Song Yu. But unlike Song Yu's petite figure, she was pretty tall.

Suddenly the woman stretched her hand to grab him who was flying toward her. Alex was startled and used his Sky Step to stop his momentum.

She was surprised to see Alex managed to react like that. After Alex avoided her grasp, she immediately flew toward Alex, trying to catch him once more.

Alex immediately activated his Spirit Eyes. He didn't see any fluctuation of Spiritual Energy, so it seemed this person didn't have any intention to hurt him.

She was a 4-Star Martial Lord. Alex wanted to stop this woman, but before he could do anything. Anna suddenly came out of her card without summoning.

Anna suddenly grabbed her hand with her left hand. She opened her hand, and a scythe appeared. She immediately swung her scythe toward this woman.

The woman was surprised by the sudden appearance of Anna, especially since Anna was a 5-Star Martial Lord. She tried to escape from Anna's grip but to no avail. When Anna swung her scythe, she immediately took out her sword and swung it toward Anna's scythe.

But even with all of that, the collision between scythe and sword never happened.

Alex stopped Anna's scythe with his hand while Song Yu also appeared to stop the other girl's sword.

"You should stop Song Jia."

"You can stop, Anna," Alex said while looking at the woman with the orange hair, Sana. He could see the boundless energy inside her body. It was even more powerful than the Martial King that tried to catch him.

Anna also could feel it as she released Song Jia's hand from her grip. She sent a message to Alex with transmission thought. After reaching the Martial Lord stage, they could do something like telepathy with their Spiritual Energy.

Anna just didn't use it that much because the System's telepathy was even more useful. After all, it could be used anywhere. "I'm sorry, Alex. I summon myself out without your permission."

"You are doing it for me, so it is fine." Alex smiled.

Song Jia was only doing it because she got curious. She had challenged so many people into battle. At first, she did it because she was a fan of her sister, Song Yu.

She wanted to catch up with her, so she challenged so many people. But Song Yu suddenly chose to flee to this continent. She was devastated at that time.

She tried to challenge all strong people that she could challenge. It was all so she could bury her feelings deep. But eventually, it became a habit. When she knew Alex could teach her sister swordsmanship, she became curious and wanted to test him.

She thought she could grasp him, but Alex managed to dodge her, and eventually, Anna suddenly appeared to stop her.

Song Yu then went to the front, "I'm sorry, Alex. My younger sister is very rude to you. She is usually a good girl. She just loves to challenge someone."

Song Yu then turned to Song Jia and said, "You should apologize to him."

"I'm sorry." Song Jia didn't know why, but she always listened to her sister. Even though she had tried, she never succeeded.

"It's alright. I can see she didn't have any intention to hurt me since she didn't even use her Spiritual Energy."

"Well, she comes here from the Northern Continent to visit me. I never thought when I told her about you. She suddenly went to test your strength."

"I just want to see why Elder Sister praised you so much. I thought she fell in lo-Gya!"

Song Yu chopped Song Jia's head and said with a poker face, "Now you dare to tease your Elder Sister?"

Song Yu looked at Alex and asked, "You should challenge the battle tower soon if you want to participate in the tournament."

Alex nodded. He wanted to participate in the tournament because of the reward from his system. He never expected anything from this sect. He was rich, and he had many Martial Arts from Zwaka, as well as making pills himself.

"That's right. I need to tell you something later, so I will visit you later."

"Sure."

"Alright. I need to take this girl back first." Song Yu said while dragging Song Jia to her home. If they didn't know Song Yu and Song Jia, they would think Song Jia was the elder one because of Song Yu's childish figure.

"Anna. Let's go back."

"Yes."

"We meet this kind of person pretty often lately."

"Ugh... Maybe because my luck is still bad?" Alex said unsurely. He remembered that his luck was not that good at the moment. He thought it was only for a day or so. It seemed it was not. He would just sit in his house for the time being.

After a few months away,

He felt a bit nostalgic in this place. He started practicing again.

Not long after, Song Yu came to his house.

He invited her in and asked Anna for a tea.

"I'm truly sorry for my sister. She is a bit unique." Song Yu apologized.

"It's fine," Alex said. "By the way? What about Evelyn? She is still with her Senior Sister, right?"

"Yeah. She is training right now. She has fast progress and reached 3-Star Martial Grandmaster. Her progress can't be compared with you, though."

"Haha... I'm just a little lucky this time."

"Alright. Anyway, you are going to have a hard time after this, you know."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, my sister came to this place to search for this particular person who could make the sky turn to golden color." Song Yu said casually. She was trying to look at Alex's reaction. Alex was away at that time when that phenomenon appeared.

If it were truly a lightning tribulation, then the most suspicious one would be Alex. Anna told her Alex would leave the sect for a while, and that phenomenon appeared. So, it was justified that she suspected Alex was the one they were searching for.

Alex's heart skipped a bit, but he didn't show it on his face. Alex only nodded his head, "Oh, that phenomenon. I'm wondering what kind of person could make such a phenomenon."

Song Yu only smiled a little. Because of her hearing, she noticed Alex's heart skipped a beat. But since Alex wanted to hide it, she stopped pressing him for that.
