Cultivation Goddess
Chapter 281. Open

Shi Han Wu looked sad. Before he told Fang Yin, he was silent for a while to compose his words. There was something stuck in his heart that made him fall apart.

There is something big going on with the ice tribe. Perhaps Fang Yin had not heard of it because all this time kept going around to look for the Nine Dragons Book and strengthen himself. It takes good words to tell bad news.

Seeing Shi Han Wu's silent demeanor, Fang Yin felt suspicious. Even though his grandfather was famous for being a non-talking figure, but he seemed to be harboring a problem. Invisibly her face shows that she holds a burden that squeezes her heart.

"Where are we going, Yin'er?" Shi Han Wu switched the conversation. He waited for the right time to talk. For now he can't say it.

"I'm with two of my friends, Cake. We stayed in the forest before continuing our journey. Our bodies are so tired after fighting because of a misunderstanding." Fang Yin told me briefly about his experience today.

Shi Han Wu nodded but he looked unfocused. Only his head moved but his mind floated out of nowhere.

Their steps looked slow, but the bodies of both of them who both had high cultivation levels made the movements of both of them extremely fast and invisible.

Bai An and Liu Sheng stared in astonishment at Shi Han Wu. Bai An did not recognize him because he had never ventured like Liu Sheng.

"Liu Sheng saluted you, Blind Demon Swordsman!" Liu Sheng put together his two hands in a respectful manner.

"Hopefully live a long life." Shi Han Wu still replied to the reverence even though he felt extremely astonished. In a strange place, someone recognized him.

"Who are they, Yin'er? Are they your relatives?"

Fang Yin told me briefly about Bai An and Liu Sheng. Actually, he also did not know much about them because he had just met today.

Shi Han Wu no longer asked much. He walked to a rock and sat there. Liu Sheng and Bai An came carrying cooked grilled meat. The four of them ate it together.

That night, Fang Yin and Shi Han Wu spent their time cultivating while Bai An and Liu Sheng were cultivating for a while then sleeping.

Morning, the morning,

"Bai An, Liu Sheng! I'm going with my grandfather. Enjoy your journey and see you on another occasion" said Fang Yin as he woke up his two new friends who were still asleep.

They answered 'yes' in a semi-conscious state. Both of them felt that the one who spoke was his mother. Bai An was startled and immediately sat down when a drop of dew hit his face.

"Miss! Where are you going?" call out to him when he saw Fang Yin walking on his back.

Fang Yin did not reply, he simply waved his hand as they were already far away.

"So the woman who spoke was not my mother?" Bai An gathered his consciousness and then woke up from his sleep.

"Heh, where are you going? Early in the morning you've been so noisy." Liu Sheng was still sleepy and went back to sleep.

Back to Fang Yin and Shi Han Wu,

Fang Yin still looked at Shi Han Han's different attitude than usual. In the bright morning he could see the murat of sadness so clearly. He wanted to repeat his question, but it seemed impossible. His grandfather was calculating, he was just waiting for the right time to talk.

"What are your plans today, Yin'er?" Shi Han Wu initiated the conversation.

"Go to Silver Mountain to meet my mother, Kek."

Fang Yin's reply made him shocked. Shi Han Wu stopped his steps. He was facing towards her even though physically his eyes could not see. However, in the depths of his heart his vision was extremely sharp.

'I can't seem to hold myself back any longer. I have to tell Yin'er everything. It was not yet time for him to go to the Silver Mountain. I'm afraid he'll be in danger if he goes there now.'

Shi Han Wu's strange demeanor further made Fang Yin curious.

"Does Grandpa know anything about them?"

Fang Yin could not help himself anymore to ask. Shi Han Wu was indeed hiding something.

"Yin 'er. I have bad news, but that doesn't mean it's bad. The ice tribe is currently having difficulties. The people of the glacier tribe joined them and changed all the rules of the Shi clan. I went down the mountain to observe this situation. Actually I was also heading to Silver Mountain to see what happened. All the news I've heard is he said and said, for that I want to see firsthand what's really going on."

Shi Han Wu's story made Fang Yin think. Something must be happening to his family right now. It seems he has to change his plans. The Book of Nine Eight-star Dragons that had been in his hands had to be completed immediately before he reached the Silver Mountain.

"I understand, Cake. I will still go to the Silver Mountain but after finishing the Book of Nine Eight-star Dragons that I just obtained."

Shi Han Wu was stunned to hear Fang Yin's statement. He did not expect that the little boy had reached the eighth stage of the nine books in just a few years.

"Bad boy! You almost reached the god level. After completing the Book of Nine Eight-star Dragons you will reach the demigods and the refinement is the Nine-star Nine-star Dragon Book."

Fang Yin smiled. His chest felt enlarged hearing the tone of admiration from Shi Han Wu. There was no harm in her being proud, but everything was soon she was tepis. His journey was still long, he also did not know what the contents of the Eight-star Book of Nine Dragons were like.

"I'd be so happy to surpass grandfather after this." Fang Yin jumped up happily. He walked on tiptoed feet showing the spoiled side of a grandson to his grandfather.

"of course. Maybe now you've surpassed me. Grandpa is proud of you. I hope you're not acting recklessly because it's gonna get you into trouble."

"Hm." Fang Yin nodded. "Now I'm more of an adult, Cake. A journey that taught me to be calculating."

"good. I will join you in absorbing the Eight-star Book of Nine Dragons and then together go to the Silver Mountain."

Fang Yin felt happy instead of playing. Shi Han Wu's existence would help him greatly. Although he could overcome all his difficulties, but he could become calmer with his grandfather's whereabouts.

They both stopped near a waterfall. Fang Yin opened the Book of Nine Eight-star Dragons there. There was no puzzle that made it difficult for him to open the Eight-star Book of Nine Dragons.

'I feel happy because this book is not a hassle. I just need to concentrate on absorbing it into the core of my mind.' Fang Yin started to open pages per page then absorbed them.

On the other hand, Shi Han Wu stood guard and remained vigilant. The forest they are in today is frequented by humans. A lot of people pass there.

Shi Han Wu's vigilance increased as he sensed a surge of energy coming closer. A human with a cultivation realm equivalent to her walked towards where she was.

Shi Han Wu approached Fang Yin. Before the person who came was close, he had to protect Fang Yin. However, it seemed like Fang Yin had also found out. His instincts are sharper than anyone else. He was more sensitive than Shi Han Wu with Yang Hui in his body.

Fang Yin stopped his absorption and stored the book before anyone saw it. He then moved from his seat and stood facing Shi Han Wu.

"Someone's approaching, Cake."

Shi Han Wu nodded and hinted at Fang Yin to be quiet. They hide their presence and hide behind trees.

A man came to the waterfall and took water for his supplies. After filling his drinking place, he drank the water with his palm and washed his face. The man smiled as he deeply recognized the aura of energy he had planted in his body.

'I feel a very familiar energy.' Fang Yin thought and felt curious as to who the owner of the energy was. He peeked at that person very carefully.

The man pretended not to see Fang Yin's whereabouts. He sat down to relax on a rock while stretching his muscles. Afraid of losing his tracks, he stared straight at Fang Yin's hideout.

"Xiao Yin, until when are you going to hide there."

The man spoke casually as if he was calling a brat who was working on him. He knew that Fang Yin also knew of his arrival.

There was no other choice for Fang Yin other than to come out of her hiding and meet the man who called out to her.

"You're not a ghost, are you? Why did you suddenly appear here? Or maybe you're stalking me on purpose?" Fang Yin charged at him with questions.

The man pulled her and hugged her. Fang Yin's silly question didn't need an answer. By hugging him he would understand only he dared to do so.

Fang Yin was startled and tried to push him. All that he did without intending to offend the man, but what he did made the man before him feel annoyed.

"There's someone else here. Sorry." Fang Yin looked awkward. He knew that Jian Heng was disappointed.

"Other people? Man or woman?" he asked as he looked at Fang Yin in a straight line.

"Man," Fang Yin replied without thinking.

Jian Heng's change of attitude made Fang Yin think, 'Is this man of a rancor feeling jealous? Since when did he act without thinking? Does love make a person stupid?'

They remained silent for a while. Fang Yin did not know how to behave. All of this is just a misunderstanding.

"Yin 'er. What the hell are you doing? Don't be friendly to strangers!" Shi Han Wu appeared and stood beside Fang Yin.

Jian Heng who was originally facing the other direction now turned around and looked towards the source of the sound. His eyes widened as an old geezer stood right before him. Instantly he felt ashamed.

'Xiao Yin must be laughing at me right now. I should have asked first.' Jian Heng looked at Fang Yin awkwardly.

"He's not a stranger, Cake. He was the Third Prince of the Middle Continent who was happy to wander. We've known each other for a long time" Fang Yin explained.

Shi Han Wu nodded then again said, "You still have to be careful, a handsome man is very happy to play tricks on women. You can't just choose a partner, once it's wrong then your world will be destroyed."

"He's not that kind of person, Cake. I didn't mean to defend him, but he was a good man."

"Xi Jian Heng paid the highest respects to you, Master." Jian Heng showed his manners to Shi Han Wu.

"Wake up!" Shi Han Wu replied with a hand gesture.

"How far do you know Yin'er? I don't want anyone approaching her because of her background. But it seems you are different. Your status is already high without Yin'er."

Jian Heng looked at Fang Yin not understanding. He felt that there was something strange about the old grandfather's words before him. It seemed like there was a big secret covered up by him all along.

'Die me! Why is Grandpa alluding to my background. Jian Heng is an intelligent person, I'm sure he won't let me go after this until I tell him the truth.' Fang Yin did not dare to look at Jian Heng's face.

The atmosphere still feels stiff. It was like there was a distance separating Fang Yin and Jian Heng even though they were close together. Shi Han Wu tried to read the situation between the two. He felt he needed to interfere in this matter.

'I read the unusual relationship between Yin'er and the Third Prince. Both have a special background. It's not a bad thing if they become a couple. It just takes uniting the goal and eliminating the ego. Justjust? What I'm saying. Ah, I think it's pretty complicated.' Shi Han Wu spoke inwardly.

"I think you guys need time to talk to each other." Shi Han Wu turned around.

"Wait, Cake!" Fang Yin and Jian Heng simultaneously called out to him.

They are currently in non-matching mode. It will be difficult for the two to talk to each other. Need an intermediary to remove the frost between them.

"Yin'er, you're an adult, it's time you think about your future. The Empire of the Eastern Continent needed a leader capable of a complete overhaul. The situation is now a complete mess." Shi Han Wu opened Fang Yin's identity before Jian Heng.

"Grandfather!" Fang Yin wanted to stop Shi Han Wu's remark but to no avail.

Shi Han Wu continued to talk about who Fang Yin was to Jian Heng. All the things he experienced started from the day where he experienced seclusion in the Southern Star Forest and slander experienced by him and his mother. He wanted to know if after this Jian Heng still wanted to hang out with Fang Yin or even leave. Everything he said could be erased from Jian Heng's memories with the Memory Removal Steps if Jian Heng took a stance that was not in line with Fang Yin.

'So Xiao Yin was Princess Gu Fang Yin. The only daughter of Emperor Gu who survived. It was only fitting that he was so great because he was born as a descendant of the two most influential clans.' Jian Heng looked at Fang Yin seriously.

"I don't blame you for hiding your identity from me, Yin'er. As the only Gu Clan survivor you do deserve to do that." Jian Heng looked sad.

"I'm not the only one. The Thousand Eyes Swordsman is my relative from the Gu Clan. He will come if I call him, no matter where he is at the moment. Uncle Tian Feng is my grandfather's disciple. It's a strange coincidence, isn't it?" Fang Yin told her another side of her family life.

Jian Heng looked pleased. Against Fang Yin's background as a princess, Emperor Xi would not hinder the two from being together again. Although Emperor Xi's attitude was already more open and signaling if he had sanctioned his relationship with Fang Yin, but Jian Heng still sensed something was up. Now the path to being together with Fang Yin had opened.

"Yin'er, how heavy the road you've been on all this time. You should have shared it with me from the very beginning." Jian Heng lamented Fang Yin's attitude without thinking about the reason.

"I don't want to depend on anyone. You are still an outsider. The only thing I can do is protect my identity and fight to be strong. No one believes that if I was Emperor Gu's legitimate daughter, it might as well be you. My mother's name is really bad in everyone's eyes." Fang Yin bowed lethargic.

Jian Heng's heart was grim. The little girl he met a few years ago has now transformed into a mature figure. Circumstances that force him to struggle alone to face the rigors of life.

"What are your plans after this?" jian Heng asked. She did not want to hear more about the sad story of her lover.

Her grudge is ignited along with the reality she knows. Emperor Ning's cruelty fostered a raging fury. Not only as the closest person to Fang Yin, as an influential person in power he also felt that what Emperor Ning did was very cruel.

The entire Gu Clan he had mercilessly vanished. For the sake of a power he justifies every means to obtain it. Jian Heng promised himself to finish off Emperor Ning with his hands.

"I'll go to Silver Mountain with grandfather. But earlier I will finish the absorption of the Eight-star Nine Dragons Book first."

Jian Heng stared fixedly at Fang Yin. "Silver Mountain? I heard there's tension between the ice tribe and the glacier tribe over there."

Jian Heng's shocked attitude made Fang Yin feel tense. It seemed Shi Han Wu did not say all the news he knew. She looked sad but tried to calm him down with the relaxed attitude she showed him. In the meantime, she was worried alone.

Shi Han Wu looked misbehaved. The look on his face changed. He was afraid that Fang Yin had so many thoughts after this that he lost his concentration to absorb the Eight-star Book of Nine Dragons.

"Do you know what happened?" fang Yin asked with a face that showed her anxiety.

Her beautiful eyeballs twitched describing her uneasiness. There was his mother and grandparents whom he should have protected. All this time he had known them as a figure who did not have any ability.

"I don't know much. That's all I hear."

Jian Heng's reply further aroused Fang Yin's curiosity.

"Grandfather, shouldn't we go there immediately?" Fang Yin asked Shi Han Wu who had been silent since.

"Lost that worry. Shi Jun Hui is not an easy person to deal with, nor is your mother. I don't think Yu Ruo is so weak either." Shi Han Wu knew that his twin brother would not remain silent. He was very confident that if his stored strength was not inferior to his, it could have been greater.

"No ... No ... My mom's not that good. I never saw him fight. He only had the science of medicine alone," Fang Yin refuted.

"Would an ordinary person give birth to a great girl like you?"

Shi Han Wu's question made Fang Yin think. 'Has mom been pretending to be weak for her safety?'

Fang Yin turned to look at Jian Heng as if asking for his opinion. In matters of strategy, Jian Heng was superior to him. He is not reckless and calculating.

"You better execute the original plan. Finish the book, just go to Silver Mountain. If you will, I will help you solve this matter." Jian Heng no longer wanted to let Fang Yin struggle alone even though he knew if he could handle it without her.

"Are you willing to go to Silver Mountain for me? I will feel calm if you are there and help the Shi Clan."

Jian Heng sincerely nodded although after this they would go back to parting. However, he believed their meeting in the future would be very sweet.

Shi Han Wu remained to accompany Fang Yin to complete the Eight-star Book of Nine Dragons. His appearance would bring a great influence to the Shi Clan since he had been known to be neutral all along. Not much is known about its origin. One would think a thousand times to deal with him because of his cruel and mysterious nature.

That day too Jian Heng set out for the Silver Mountain to help the Shi Clan. What happened there is unclear. He only heard the news of the confusion that blew in the community. This news is still very new.

Fang Yin and Shi Han Wu followed Jian Heng to the edge of the forest. They choose different paths because they have opposite destinations. Fang Yin would go to the untouched forest to avoid passing people even though his grandfather was always on guard.

"You look very sad. My granddaughter looks so adorable when she's in love" Shi Han Wu guessed. The eyes of his heart could clearly see Fang Yin's sadness.

"Ah, um, grandpa's not good at guessing. I'm just worried about my mother" elak Fang Yin.

"I'm not good at guessing or you can't lie?" tease Shi Han Wu.

Fang Yin blushed. He did not want to refute anymore and chose to continue his journey.

They both entered the depths of the forest with air paths. The thick shrubs and slithering animals will hinder their journey. For this reason, both of them choose to cross at high altitudes.

Fang Yin sensed the spirit beast aura in that place, but he was not worried. There was Yang Hui who was ready to help him.

"Yin'er, I sense there is a powerful spirit beast ahead there," Shi Han Wu said without stopping his steps.
