A few days had passed, Fei Chen and Jia Li continued on their journey both towards the Sword Valley. It took about two weeks for the two of them to return to the Yin Empire.
“Chenchen! You are heartbroken to continue your relentless journey to the Yin Empire!” Jia Li breathlessly tried to keep pace with Fei Chen's running pace.
“Rest is also important and you need to remember one thing if the woman likes a man who is warm and understanding,” Jia Li continued.
Fei Chen had already heard Jia Lu complaining repeatedly, yet he did not overly ponder Jia Li's grievances after knowing the route to the Sword Valley after asking the merchant on the way.
“Lili, stop complaining. We're close to the Sword Valley, aren't we?” Fei Chen stopped running after he was on the hill.
Jia Li chased after Fei Chen and grumbled in annoyance after standing beside Fei Chen who seemed to be watching something from the top of the hill.
“Maybe afternoon we will arrive if there is no hitch.” Jia Li smiled brightly as he was finally able to return to the Sword Valley. But the smile disappeared as Jia Li remembered his partner was gone.
Fei Chen noticed Jia Li's change in face and realized something.
“Lili, what's up?” Fei Chen asked. Jia Li's head shook slowly.
“No, Chenchen.” Jia Li hid his face and took a step forward.
Fei Chen let out a long sigh and sharpened his eyes looking far ahead. At first glance he saw the shadow of someone sitting meditating on a tree.
“What did that person do?” Fei Chen muttered full of questions.
“You saw what Chenchen?” Jia Li turned his head back when he heard Fei Chen mutter.
Fei Chen pointed at the shadow of someone sitting on a tree. Jia Li noticed the direction Fei Chen pointed at but he did not see it.
“Didn't you see it?” Fei Chen asked as he saw Jia Li frowning.
Of course Jia Li did not see the shadow of someone sitting on a tree. Fei Chen's sense of vision was sharper than Jia Li due to the condition of his body.
“I don't see anything.” Jia Li shook his head slowly as he did not see anything Fei Chen meant.
“We're better off there.” Fei Chen invited Jia Li down the hill, both of them speeding up their steps as the distance towards the Sword Valley grew shorter.
What Fei Chen and Jia Li found was the figure of a white-haired old man meditating on a tree. The old grandfather's white beard swayed slowly due to the wind's trick.
Jia Li knew the figure of the old grandfather. The old grandfather was none other than the Sword Valley Patriarch named Feng Lao.
“Patriarch Feng's habits have not changed at all Jia Li sighed lightly then smiled faintly as he looked at the figure of the Sword Valley Patriarch.
Feng Lao opened his eyes and descended from the top of the tree after seeing Jia Li's figure below.
“Li, is this really you? Rou is looking for you and he looks devastated after the news of your group's death spreads. What happened to you?” Feng Lao watched Jia Li closely and threw out a number of questions.
“Grandfather Feng, many things happened..” Jia Li was visibly sad as Feng Lao discussed about the mission he took with his partner and ended in doom.
‘This boy killed Tan Yun who was the son of Tan Wuyun..’ Feng Lao approached Fei Chen and greeted the boy.
“What did Li said was true?” Feng Lao asked and Fei Chen looked at Feng Lao for a long time before he finally saluted and explained to Feng Lao if what Jia Li said was true as it was.
“Salam salute senior, my name is Fei Chen. It was a coincidence that I met Lili while on my way to the Ma.” Empire Fei Chen looked at Jia Li who disagreed with him after he saluted Feng Lao.
“Chenchen, did you say our meeting was a coincidence? If there was no you I would have died. I am so grateful to meet you and our meeting is no coincidence.” Jia Li snatched Fei Chen's words.
“Hah? Why are you protesting?” Fei Chen immediately responded to Jia Li's remark.
“Obviously I protest because you look like you want to leave after knowing Grandpa Feng's identity. Chenchen, will you stay in the Sword Valley with me?” Jia Li held onto Fei Chen's clothing sleeve and lowered his head.
Seeing this Feng Lao stroked his white beard and could see clearly if Fei Chen and Jia Li's relationship was very close after the two traveled together.
As Feng Lao recalled, Jia Li had never shown his efficacious attitude to anyone other than himself and Feng Xinrui. In front of him now Jia Li and Fei Chen called their names with very sweet names.
‘This boy is mysterious, besides he makes Li.’ interested Feng Lao was interested in Fei Chen after finding out if the boy had abilities that could be considered a genius.
“Chen, what if you stop by the Sword Valley? Looks like Li-Ther hasn't wanted to part with you.” Feng Lao offered Fei Chen to stop by and stay at the Sword Valley.
Fei Chen thought for a moment. Actually he wanted to go to the Peach Valley and was intending to meet Fang Huo.
“Actually Junior wants to continue the journey to the Peach Valley..” Before Fei Chen finished his words, Feng Lao held onto both of Fei Chen's shoulders tightly.
“Peach Valley you said? Are you a disciple of that sect Chen?” Feng Lao intended to make Fei Chen his disciple but he did not expect Fei Chen to be related to the Peach Valley so Feng Lao thought Fei Chen was a disciple of the Peach Valley.
Fei Chen looked puzzled, ‘Why did his Grandfather Lili get so serious?’
“Sorry Senior, Junior is not a student of the Peach Valley.” Fei Chen added that he wanted to go to the Peach Valley because he wanted to see Fang Huo.
“Fang Huo? You didn't lie to me, did you?” Feng Lao was surprised when Fei Chen alluded to Fang Huo's name.
“There is no reason Junior lied to Senior.” Fei Chen took out a badge belonging to Fang Huo and showed it to Feng Lao.
“It..” Feng Lao was again taken aback by Fei Chen.
“You are as you think of me, Sky Tiger.” Knowing Fang Huo was intending to make Fei Chen his disciple, Feng Lao laughed.
“What's Senior?” Precisely Fei Chen was astonished by Feng Lao's attitude, as well as Jia Li.
“Nothing, Chen. Let's go to Sword Valley.” Feng Lao took Fei Chen to the Sword Valley.
Fei Chen simply nodded his head slowly and approached Jia Li then whispered softly.
“Lili, what happened to your grandfather?” Fei Chen said that very softly.
“I don't know for sure, but it looks like he wants to make you a student of Chenchen.” Jia Li guessed.
“Murid?” Fei Chen himself had not been interested in having a human Master. However after he considered his plan while conversing with Liu Xianlin, Fei Chen had the intention to accept Fang Huo's offer.
However Fei Chen never expected that the old man in front of him was also interested in him.
