Cultivation Goddess
Chapter 331. Selection Forces
The large family of Emperor Xi saw Jian Heng and Fang Yin who suddenly disappeared without leaving a trace. They stayed there for a while and saw what was to come next.
After not seeing anything strange, Emperor Xi invited his family to return to the palace. They're speechless. The reality that happened today felt like a dream.
Jian Heng came suddenly and left quickly. Both of her sisters felt increasingly distant from her. However, they still supported his younger brother to help Fang Yin take back the Eastern Continent.
"Xiang'er, Changyi, you guys need to train more. This country you two will have to look after. Any possibility can happen. Keep trying to be the best." Emperor Xi spoke to his two sons.
"Good, Dad!" changyi and Hao Xiang replied almost simultaneously.
They no longer gathered at Emperor Xi's palace but resumed their respective activities. Many things were missed with the presence of Jian Heng and Fang Yin. However, they felt happy with the only meeting for a while.
Hao Xiang and Changyi did not want to lose away from Jian Heng. They couldn't possibly surpass his sister but both of them were trying hard to improve their abilities.
After today, they promised themselves to practice more. Emperor Xi lent them ancient martial books that they could learn on their own.
The Silver Mountain,
Fang Yin and Jian Heng arrived at the starting place of their departure where they left a trail of energy before moving on to the Middle Continent Empire.
No one was there when they arrived. Both of his grandfathers came home after delivering them. There was no point in waiting there as it was not certain when Fang Yin and Jian Heng would return.
"Sister Heng," called Fang Yin.
"Hm. What's up, Yin'er?" jian Heng asked.
"none. I just wanted to say that right now I feel relieved. Before I was so scared that your family couldn't accept me. Right now everyone still thinks of me as my mother's illegitimate son." Fang Yin expressed his feelings.
Jian Heng stopped his steps then looked at Fang Yin meaningfully. His hand grabbed Fang Yin's two hands and grasped them tightly. They looked at each other and revealed heart language through their eyes.
"The war will begin soon. No matter what battleground we face, we must strive to live. Don't forget our promise to live together after the war is over. I'll stay where you live and not want to be apart again like this." Jian Heng was so afraid of losing Fang Yin.
"I want the same thing, Brother Heng. Although there is no prohibition for a woman to lead, but I hope that you are willing to become the leader of the Eastern Continent Empire in the future. But I have a condition that you must fulfill. I want to be your only queen forever." Fang Yin said expectantly.
The life of an emperor was synonymous with many concubines. There was an invisible competition between them despite being at first glance in harmony. Fang Yin did not want to mess around with it all where they would invite trouble that should not be thought of.
"I'm not a man who can share my feelings with some women. Since we first met I have fallen in love with you even though you were so silly and childish at the time" Jian Heng said with a smile reminiscing about their meeting.
Fang Yin glared in disbelief at Jian Heng's statement.
"I was still a child at the time, too. Wherever you may fall in love, you always invite me to argue to the point that I feel annoyed and angry with you." Fang Yin vented his frustration.
"Haha! I did it on purpose so you would notice me. You also know that even today I'm not good at seducing women." Jian Heng smiled sillyly.
"Don't arrive" Fang Yin whispered as he blushed.
Jian Heng still clearly saw the mark he made on Fang Yin's forehead. For a moment they dissolve in memories. The increasingly strong feeling between the two became excited to face the obstacles before them.
Having satisfied his nostalgia by recalling a piece of the story in the past, Jian Heng brought Fang Yin walking down the hill. They stepped casually towards the Fang Yin family's residence.
'In the modern world, as Agata I failed to get Doctor Zidane's love. Maybe Jian Heng was the answer to my turmoil. After this I will be a wife. The first experience I've never had in my two lives.' Fang Yin monologued in heart.
There was nothing they talked about on the way home. Both dissolve in their own minds. Shadows of memories and plans in the future come to change and decorate their minds.
Time passed by so quickly, everything that happened was like just coming here but years had passed. Suffering, despair, anger and resentment stirred up ambition for Fang Yin and made her the way she was today.
The sun almost sank when the two reached the border of the village. The lanterns in the houses have been lit making the dim streets look bright.
The people who met them greeted them respectfully. The ice tribe thought Fang Yin was a hero. It might even surpass Patriarch Shi as the current leader of the ice tribe.
"You're back?" shu Han Wu. "A fast one," he continued.
"Already, Cake. Where are the others?" ask Fang Yin.
Shi Han Wu sat alone on the terrace. Fang Yin turned his head to and fro looking for other members of his family. However, there was no human air there.
"They went to a new settlement to attend a meeting held by Patriarch Shi. They will discuss who will be dispatched to participate in the attack" Shi Han Wu explained.
'Looks like I have to be there and consider the person I'm going to bring. The ice tribe has lost many of its members. There should still be someone guarding.' Fang Yin monologued in heart.
"I want to go after them, Cake. Does Grandpa want to come?" ask Fang Yin.
"Hm. There is always something interesting if you have. Where could I have missed it. Let's go!" Shi Han Wu got up from his seat.
He stood beside Jian Heng and struck his shoulder softly. The two then looked at each other and nodded then walked after Fang Yin who had first walked in front.
The streets look deserted as the night begins to fall. Only the children and women lived in their homes. Occasionally there was the sound of babbling children who were whining to his mother.
Fang Yin let out the dragon goddess instinct to know where the ice tribe held the gathering. His footsteps followed his instincts towards a cottage on the edge of the new settlement.
Shi Han Wu and Jian Heng followed behind. They walked a little slower because Fang Yin was not in a hurry.
The inhabitants of the ice tribe were gathering in a large courtyard. They swarmed around the few people who were in the middle.
Seeing the arrival of Fang Yin, Jian Heng and Shi Han Wu, the swarming residents vied to make way for them. The arrival of the three became the center of attention and made the leaders who were discussing suddenly silent.
The atmosphere became silent for a while until Fang Yin began to speak.
"Fang Yin saluted Patriarch Shi and the ice tribe elders." Fang Yin saluted followed by Jian Heng and Shi Han Wu.
"There's no need to be too polite, Miss Yin, Mr. Heng, Mr. Wu. Come join us." Patriarch Shi let the three join the ranks.
Fang Yin walked over and listened to the elders' opinions on the selection of the troops to be brought in the attack. They had chosen that army before he came.
Patriarch Shi asked the selected troops to gather to form a separate line. There were about two hundred and fifty people who were considered worthy of being part of the attack.
"Can I check them? I don't want to harm people who have no fighting experience. On the battlefield requires not only strength but courage. Fear is the beginning of defeat." Fang Yin looked at everyone with his stern gaze.
"Please, Miss Yin. We are considering their ability to become the troops we will send there," Patriarch Shi explained.
"Hm." Fang Yin nodded then turned his head towards Jian Heng.
In terms of his martial strategies Jian Heng was skilled but to select Fang Yin had a special trick.
Jian Heng walked up to Fang Yin and asked, "What's your plan, Yin'er?" jian Heng asked curiously.
"I give a chance to anyone who wants to join without election but with screening selection. There are three stages of selection that will be followed by training. To do everything, I can't do it alone. I need your help, Brother Heng," Fang Yin said.
"It is with pleasure," Jian Heng replied.
After speaking to Jian Heng, Fang Yin again spoke to Patriarch Shi and the elders. In the selection that he was about to make, Fang Yin wanted to give an opportunity to a non-elected person to take part first.
They agreed to it and invited Fang Yin to make a selection.
To do the selection he needs a large enough space. The inhabitants of the ice tribe were asked to retreat and make room for him. Patriarch Shi and the elders also moved back and stood with the residents.
In the middle of the crowd was Fang Yin and Jian Heng alone. They began to prepare to remember the night was getting late.
"How are we going to start Yin'er?" jian Heng asked.
"So many people we're going to select. We each make two circles of fire so that at one time we can select four people. The person who had passed the selection would be split into two groups," Fang Yin explained.
"Alright, let's start," Jian Heng replied.
