Chapter 238 - 238. Looking for his sister

The long line of people just left the village and went to a new adventure when the rest of the villagers just started waking up. 

''Chief, we finally got rid of him. Now its time we reorganize the people. We will be back in four more years and we need to gather enough supporters for the next Elder posts. If we can show our leading skills here...'' Man with a serious expression and clean appearance came to sitting youth and nudged him. ''Claro, you need to work hard now to gain more supporters. Four years is a short time.''

Claro just rose his blue eyes and smirked. ''You think I don't know what you are thinking about? Moral, you are sneaky as usual. Elder position? I am not interested in it. Why pushing me there? It's not interesting. I wish to find her and Elders told me she is here, now, in this world. I need to make a trip to that Save Heaven City. If any of them come to trade there maybe she will be there as well.''

Moral just snorted. ''For hundred of years, you dream about that girl and talk about her. It's getting annoying. Look at how many beautiful and amazing cultivators we have in our sect. Just take two. three, ten, hundred. Claro, not even one would mind. Literally.''

He just stood up and looked at Moral in disgust. ''I am looking for my little sister you disgusting idiot. Not a woman to mate. If you have to wish to do so, please leave me out of it. Not interested at all.''

Morel looked in astonishment at leaving youth. After so many years just now it became clear that he never spoke about that female in a dreamy tone. More in worried and expectant. Morel rushed after him but who could even catch on Claro. He was the fastest person with and without powers. Soon he just saw far away from his back disappearing in the forest. 

His heart hit hard in his chest. If that man really goes and finds that woman, he definitely will leave sect and leaders won't let him stay without Claro. He just did too many wicked things behind their backs and many things will come on daylight when they leave here. What should he do? How can he escape punishment?

At the same time, Claro stopped running and started remembering his dream. 

A faceless woman stood next to him and he could hear her sweet and melodic voice talking to him. ''You little chipmunk, I told you sister will take care of everything. Now stay here. I don't want you to get hurt. I want you to be safe so forgive sister for not being able to follow you until the end.''

Somehow he stood frozen and tough blurry vision he could see woman's figure disappearing in a sea of fire. He wanted to go after her but his body was just unmovable. No matter how he tried he couldn't move even a tiny little bit. Soon trough the pressure of heat and his straining, he lost his powers and slowly felt weak and powerless. Darkness enveloped him slowly and after that, he would always wake up seat beaded and with tears flowing out his eyes in all kinds o directions.

He slowly followed the trail that hundreds of people left and sighed. ''Sister, please. you have to show me the way. I am sure you reincarnated in this place. But where? I miss you, my Eden.''

The day passed slowly and as the night approached he could hear from not far away clamor and talks. Trough the braches of trees he could see people sitting around fires and some just laying on floor and sleeping. He suddenly could smell the food that was cooked in pots and pans.

Loud grumbling could be heard from his stomach so he chuckled by himself. ''I am really a fool. Walking just like that without taking any of my things. Stupid, am I not?''

It was just rhetoric question meant just for himself but a female voice suddenly could be heard behind him, making him jump almost in the air in fright. ''Of course, you are dumb, or maybe not. Following our leader is not a stupid decision. Those people don't know how much he is thinking about everyone. Anyway, let's go. Chief will be happy to see you.''

Claro just sighed as he followed her. As they approached the people of the fire suddenly saw him and started cheering. ''Claro joined us as well!''

Everyone liked the silent youth. Actually, Claro was already over half of millennium old but had this youthful appearance since the start. His powers grew very quickly and he became one of the most powerful cultivators ever. But when he once tried to do one of the quests his base was hurt and his cultivation almost completely stripped. 

Luckily for him, this sect had a special healing technique that could recreate the sea of power and restart his cultivation. Out thanks, he staid there and was already there for over five hundred years. He could have ascended a long time ago, but he heard elders talking about reincarnation of some cultivators and found someone who told him that his sister has reincarnated.

Now he just has to find her, among thousands of reincarnations. This will be a feat. How can he do that? If she reincarnated that means she got another body and probably has no memory at all about him. But he still wants to protect her. At least this time. This time he is powerful. He will be able.

As he saw the village Chief he got a small smile on his lips. ''Little Taro, are you taking me in. I had to run away from that bothersome person and didn't take any of my things with me.''

Chief Taro just chuckled. ''Moral again? That man is truly a pest at the times. Claro, when we go back, will you finally take the Elder position? It is time.''

Claro shook his head. ''Actually, I found out that the woman in my dreams is actually my long lost sister that died centuries ago and has reincarnated. She must be somewhere her. I got a special item with me that will show me when she appears. Little Taro, give me some work like everyone else. You know I hate to be a burden to anyone.''

Taro just nodded and pointed at one of the benches on the side. ''Then come with me. You must be hungry. We have food and drinks and you will have to sleep like everyone else.''

Claro just nodded and everyone sighed in relief. Even tho they knew Claro was quite a calm person, but they heard about his powers and feared he would be aggressive or look at them from high. But seeing him be simple and humble, warmed their hearts so everyone scrambled to help him out with this and that.

The night became silent when Claro suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the man with silvery hair sitting by the fire and looking at everyone with a small smile. ''Taskmaster, are you bored?''

''Claro, it is time that you go up. But looking at the slow pace of your people it seems your base will be hurt again. You know the punishment of not being able to finish up the task?'' Taskmaster looked at him seriously. ''If you officially leave your group now I can help you ascend straight to God.''

Claro chuckled and shook his head. ''Taskmaster, are you taking me as an ungrateful person? Even if I have to start from the beginning again, it's fine. Really. It is not the first time, isn't it? These children are doing their best to finish the given task. Do not put stumbling stones in front fo their feet.''

Taskmaster suddenly looked at him icily. ''Are you reprimanding me? You dare?''

Claro laughed lightly. ''Taskmaster is strong and almighty, so please do not take to many words of such lowly people like I am to your heart.''

''Lowly people?'' Taskmaster chuckled. ''If they knew your real background they would kiss every step you make. Claro, I heard your sister reincarnated.''

He nodded. ''She did. But what about you? Do you still miss her?''

Taskmaster nodded. ''Your sister was like my sister as well. Claro, we know each other for so many centuries. You know I had only brotherly affection for your sister. Even if she reincarnates a hundred times I will love her only as my sister, never as a woman.''

Claro's face became serious and then he suddenly smiled as he looked at Tasmaster's face. ''It seems you found her. The fairy you were talking about. The one from the old stories.''

Taskmaster nodded. ''That is the reason I must become stronger. To be able to protect her. You know how many dangers are awaiting her. But that stupid woman still... Never mind. I will see you soon again. Sleep well, Claro.''

Claro yawned and slowly laid back on the ground. ''So I shall. Sleep well, the way to Save Heaven City is long, truly long...''

What Claro didn't know that some people were not so deeply asleep and heard partially their conversation...
