_______Meanwhile on the other side at the woods...____________

Zhao Li Xin calmed himself he tries to remember what happened after he killed his last enemy, at that time he knew he is going to die but he refused to die his revenged still not settled yet, a lot of his enemy still alive he can't die, not now. Zhao Li Xin remember there is someone coming approaching him, the steps is light maybe a woman a small woman to be precise he can feel she's staring at him closely he can feel her breath and her faint scent.....and her voice...he remembers her voice vividly that soft gentle voice, he can hear her genuine concerned to him there is no pretense in her words and her touch....her small hand on his cheek...he doesn't know how to describe his feeling, maybe it's just curiosity…..suspicion….he don't know but one thing for sure he needs to find her first.

Zhao Li Xin takes out the flare to sign his subordinate, in a minute a bunch of men with black clothes arrives all of them kneel in front of him "Mi Lord forgives our negligence!!" they shouted at the same time. Zhao Li Xin rise his hand indifferently his head is filled by something else "Enough!!" he said impatiently "You all would be punish for this but before that, I need all of you to investigated the area find the girl for me!!"

"..." The hidden girl stunned, not like they did not want to do it but what girl, should their Master give more explanation like her names or description.

"Why are you all still here?!" Zhao Li Xin shouted, he doesn't know how long he had been unconscious he doesn't know if that girl is still in this area or not and if she's leaving where does she go? Zhao Li Xin doesn't realizes with his absurd decision the hidden guard not dare to infuriate their Lord anger more than this so they dispersed hoping to find whatever girl for the Lord.

Zhao Li Xin double-check his wrist then he sighs, the poison really gone but he not remembered eating any pill or elixir at least for that he sure, even great alchemist or physician would give him some pills or bathing him with herbal remedy, he knew his cold poison is in his body poisoned him since he was a child and now it's start infected his organs, that's why so many alchemist and physician had given up with his condition but he doesn't want to give up should he lay down and die letting the people who wronged him alive, he couldn't do that.

A few days ago he heard rumor about talented young alchemist at capital city Nanjing in the Jiang Wei Kingdom that's why he returned to his hometown today he travels incognito he not trust the rumor easily he heard the alchemist is inside Lao Manor prime minister when he wanted to investigated the manor suddenly he wast attack by dozens of assassin, normally is not a problem for him but that day his cold poisoned reacted badly because of that the enemy managed to hurt him, he feel stupid if only he brings his shadow guard with him but he never like follow and protected it only make him feel weak.

just when he thought he is going to die because his stupidity someone helped him and not just that his old poisoned also had been cured miraculously, his cultivating is leaps and bound to Peak stages at Emperor level with his high cultivating he doesn't need to eat as much as other cultivators he, even barely sleep anymore.

Feeling grateful, curious or maybe intrigue he was searching for his mysterious savior all over the city at first he thought the daughter of Lao prime minister the rumor talented alchemist Lao Min Na the unfavoured concubine child is his savior but after months investigation the resulted is she not his savior, her power is way too low at that time to able cured his illness.

Disappointed Zhao Li Xin still not give up he needs to find her he wanted to ask why is she helping him? Why she's leaving without said or asked anything for return? And maybe...he just wanted to say thank you. Whatever reasoned he becomes obsessed to find her and in a blinked of an eye a year has gone by.
