Somewhere on the mountain, a man with dark robes bounce on the cliff wall, his body as light as feather but his moves are swift and sharp just like a cougar, with one stong leap he lands on the top of the cliff smoothly. His long dark hair sway when the wind blowing his hair and his cold dark eyes swept surround him, he smirked when two shadow tigers watch him from the boulder, their black fur raised their menacing blue eying on him, they begin to growl and bear their long fangs towards him.
Zhao Li Xin smiles as he has no fears but excitement, is a good thing he didn't need to find them when they the ones who greet him, the tigers roar loudly to scared him but who is Zhao Li Xin? Fear is never in his dictionary for a very very long time.
The tigers jump towards him, he evades the giant claws swiftly then he kicks the tigers right in his stomach, the tigers flying at hitting the rocks, and the other tigers become furious and the beast attack from behind.
Zhao Li Xin grab the tiger neck in swift moves, he make a quick spin and hurls the tiger to the boulder and the sounds of bones crackling loudly heard, the tiger flop on the ground, they want to stand but their legs shook. Zhao Li Xin calmly strides toward the frightened beast who cowers like a kitten under his intimidating aura.
"Bring me to your leader, I have a proposition to make" his words are cold and firm.
The tiger is a divined beast level even though they unable to talk with a person who is not contracted to them but they able to understand human language. The beast hesitates, they never seen a man this powerful before if someone told them that this human is not human they will believe it.
"You don't want to?" Zhao Li Xin asked casually "Then I have to kill both of you and find another tiger, let's see if they will help me later, maybe I just have to kill all the tigers in this mountain then maybe your chief will be the one who looking for me…I think it's a better idea" he props his chin while mutters to himself with a blank face.
The beast petrified because they know the man in front of them able to do that, he had defeated them in two seconds will other tigers will have a chance? Of course not!
"What, are you change your mind?" Zhao Li Xin makes eerie smiles that even the beast would trembles in fear.

Lory got bored inside her medium size courtyard, she tossed and turn on her bed so much she ends up fall on her bed with the sounds of 'thump' but lory to lazy to raised from the floor and Girsha only gives Lory sides eyes.
[What are you doing?] he perfunctorily asked.
[I'm bored….] Lory w.h.i.n.es.
[This is not the first that boy leaving you…] Girsha rolls his round green eyes.
[But this is the first time I'm literally alone, there used to be that brat I'm messing around with or Mong Yi sometime Bei Li Yan also come…..the manor full with people so I never felt alone but this time is different….I feel…lonely?] she said the last word with disbelieved expression.
Girsha chuckles [Is not a bad thing isn't it, you have considered his place as your home]
Lory hummed [Uhm, guessed so…]
Suddenly Girsha startled [Lory, Mo Ning Yuan is moving!]
[Really!] Lory abruptly sit up [Where is she going, is she alone?]
[Why don't you see, yourself?] Girsha's eyes glow in purple light at the same time Lory eyes also shine with dimmed light.
Through the bird that connected with Girsha consciousness, Lory saw Mo Ning Yuan leave her courtyard secretly, she doesn't bring anyone not even her intimated subordinated with her when she reaches outside her house she used veil hat before she left in hurry.
Anyone who said Mo Ning Yuan weak is absolutely wrong, the woman moves very fast she leap between the tree branch leaving only trails of shadow behind her, Lory knew Mo Ning Yuan is high skill cultivator because she is surrounded by strong people from Hei Shen Sect so she knew well how powerful Mo Ning Yuan is.
It seems Mo Ning Yuan hides her real power, Lory wonders what else she hides. Unbeknown by Mo Ning yuan a little sparrow bird has following her from afar, the little bird hides behind the leaf, the little bird eyes glowing with purple light she watches every moves she makes.
[Where does she go?] Lory mutter to herself.
Inside the caves Mo Ning Yuan take of her veil hat, she takes a deep breath as she enters the caves with slow pace the swallow bird secretly followed her from behind, Mo Ning yuan os powerful cultivator but even she will never think in a million years that the ordinary little sparrow is more than just a bird so when she heard the sounds of birds behind her she didn't bother with it, is normal to find swallow bird inside the cave.
Mo Ning Yuan pace suddenly halted, she noticed an old man with dark green and white inner robes waiting while clasped his hand behind his back, his hair is grey and he has a long grey beard touching his c.h.e.s.t, he stands with straight back even though he old he still has a sturdy body just like a man in forty but this is common among powerful cultivator, the higher their level the slower their aging become.
"Yuan Yuan" he called her dearly, his beard moves slightly as he smiles.
Mo Ning Yuan smiles "I'm sorry for coming late," she said with a gentle voice, she doesn't like a vixen that seduced Zhao Li Xin before, today she looks gentle and slightly frail, if not because Lory has following her from her courtyard she might think this woman is not the same Mo Ning Yuan but an imposter.
[They look closed] girsha said.
[Are they perhaps….related?] Lory got curious, how many secret she hides?
Mo Ning Yuan smiles tenderly as she gets closed to the mysterious old man "Old master Xie, everyone said you are heartless but for me, you are the kindest man I ever know"
The old man turns out is part of the Xie family, Lory gasped while covering her mouth in shock
[Do you hear that?] Lory was flabbergasted.
The old man chuckles "You think I'm kind?" he raised his eyebrows with teasing smiles.
Mo Ning Yuan smiles shyly as she nods her head, her face slightly fl.u.s.tered when the old man stroked her head.
Lory tilted her head while rubbing her chin [Perhaps Mo Ning yuan and the Xie family is related, is she illegitimate granddaughter of Xie family?]
Girsha tilted his head to the side on a perfect ninety degrees [Lory….I don't think they are family….]
[Huh…]
'!!!!'
[Oh my God – Oh My God �� Oh My God, stop the connection – stop the connection!!] Lory closed her eyes but is no used because her conscious still connected with Girsha.
[You do it yourself, I need to watch this!] Girsha hushes the noisy Lory beside him.
[No – NO – No!] Lory becomes more frantic from the scene in front of her.
[Noooo, My Heart - My Eyes!]
