After resting for a day, Yun Che set off to find more demon beast to increase his cultivation. As he was training, Jasmine was observing him from behind. His physique, determination and sword art reminds her of a certain someone used the same method years ago. The longer she looked at him, the longer she started to see that person on him.
Jasmine started to remember the person. The person was the one supporting her, loved her and always watching her as she grows up. That person was her brother. She remembered, her brother was just like him. He always comes up with new techniques, showing her off his skills and most of all always watched her back.
Unaware of Jasmine's dilemma, Yun Che was killing off demon beast as usual. The demonic beast after yesterday started to grow weaker and weaker. Maybe it's about time he stop grinding and focusing on his real mission?
"So, how long are you planning to stay here and train?" His train of thought interrupted by Jasmine as she slowly descends and slowly stand next to him.
"She's been doing this too often though." Yun Che slowly said in his mind.
"I don't know. Until I found that BOSS, I mean the strongest beast I guess. Last time I scanned this area, the strongest was at early stage of True Profound Realm. We did search the entire day but no such beast actually comes here." Yun Che sighs as he sheath Zangetsu behind him.
"Maybe it's afraid? Well you do look like a demon when going on a level up rampage." she started to make fun of him.
"Well, you don't look too bad yourself." he countered.
"Are you saying that I looked like a demon."
"Maybeee…" it might be the reason why those beast scared to come here.
"You…" Jasmine said and the bickering with one another starts. Maybe the both of them didn't realize they were actually closer than they think.
As they were bickering, they started to sense multiple signatures approaching their area.
"These signatures, profound cultivators?" Both of them heightened their senses together.
"Why are they here? Jasmine. How many did you sense?"
"Five mid stage Narcent, Two peak and one True Profound Realm Cultivator. Wonder if they here for something.
"Or investigating the ruckus I just cause. Either way, it's not wrong to investigate right. " Yun Che and Jasmine immediately jump between trees and making their way towards the signatures.
A few miles from their current position.
"Young master Kuangyun, it seems the noise came from that direction."
"It must be cultivators hunting or training in this forest."
"If that explosion a few days ago cause by them, then its their luck they are going to be recruited by this young master." an arrogant voice sounded among the experts.
The young master who was walking through the forest is known as Xiao Kuangyun. He has been travelling through Cyan Town looking for information that might lead him to Yun Che. He holds a deep grudge against him after he marries Xia Qingyue. The other day, after imprisoned Xiao Lie and Xiao Lingxi to an abandoned courtyard, he tried to make Xiao Lingxi his woman was he was rejected on the spot. Turns out, Xiao Lingxi was using Yun Che's name to scare them off. Xiao Kuangyun dismissed it and orders his network to find Yun Che. He himself led a team to a nearby town to recruit experts that might be usable to track Yun Che. He was planning to bring Yun Che back to the Branch Clan and **** Xiao Lingxi in front of him. To him, that might satisfy his grudge against him before finding Xia Qingyue. He didn't believe the story told by the branch clan about how Yun Che use a single slash to cut the mountain's top. He wanted to see for himself how Yun Che fabricated a story just to lure experts to the city.
"Xiao Che, when this young master finds you, I'll be sure to make that bitch and your wife my slaves as I used them in front of you." Xiao Kuangyun with his sinister thought as he walked through the forest tried to find the mysterious expert cultivating here.
He led a team of five mid-level Narcent cultivators, two peak Narcent level and his own guardian, a true profound realm cultivator. He himself was a peak Elementary Profound Realm and he doesn't even register in Yun Che's and Jasmine's radar. They dismissed him as a bug that trying to tag along.
Yun Che and Jasmine arrived at the tallest tree in the forest and overlooking the group. Yun Che was never a multiplayer type. He was more of a solo player where he wanted all the loot for himself. He merely thought that these guys are just hunters who killed demonic beast for materials. As soon as he wanted to leave, he listened in on their conversation.
"Young master, why are recruiting experts from the nearby city to find the trash." one of the peak expert. Xiao Ba asked.
"Hoho, he was able to rob the treasury means that he had someone behind him. I wanted that backer killed in front of him as I drag the trash back to manor." Xiao Kuangyun replied.
"Trash? Treasury? Are they looking for someone? As far as I know only I am the one who fits the description." Yun Che thought in his heard while still looking at them from the top.
"Young master, why are you looking for him? Should it be easy for you to lure him back to the city?" another peak expert, Xiao Jiu asked him.
"No no no, servant. I wanted to kill that backer of his and show him the true power of this Young master. I wanted to tied him at the back of the carriage and drag him to the city."
Yun Che was getting uncomfortable. He wanted nothing more to tear this piece of shit apart.
"What did he do to you, master." His attendant was asking. He knew the answer but he wanted the experts to know his purpose.
"Hehe, that bastard married the flower of Floating Cloud City. This young master fancies her when I saw that painting of hers before. This young master knew he had a family named Xiao Lie and Xiao Lingxi. This young master wanted to torture him into telling me the location of his wife. Then, I drag him to the city and watched me defiled that bitch Lingxi. I wanted to see the despair on his face as I killed him after raping her. HAHAHAA." Xiao Kuangyun was twisted and the experts are uncomfortable after hearing it. The pay he gave them was too much. They merely accept the job of this trash capture.
Yun Che was angry. Very angry. He asked the system for the identity of this bastard. Turns out, he was supposed to meet this bastard after his wedding day. He was supposedly killed by Jasmine in Cyan Forest. Looks like this bastard spend half a year looking for experts and searching for him. This guy really does have a grudge against him.
[Ding….Mission triggered. Kill Xiao Kuangyun and forever save Xiao Lingxi and Xiao Lie from trouble.]
"No matter, let see how you felt when the hunter becomes the hunted. Anyone hurts them must face death." Yun Che murmured quietly before disappearing from the tree.
As for Jasmine, she heard everything. She knew about Yun Che's family when he talked about them in his inner world. She was quite jealous after heard the story about Xiao Lingxi. Wait, why did she felt that feeling?
