Somewhere in the forest with tall tree trees looming upwards. There was someone staring up at the sky that was already night. The sky sprinkled with star stars and crescent moons made the sky look beautiful.
A boy who was on top of the tree kept staring up at the sky and his hands started clenching, "Just wait.. I definitely.. Will repay you." He muttered with a look of hate.
"Young Master Zhou."
Hearing that voice, he made him immediately glance back and see that above the ground level in front of the current standing a figure he was familiar with. The person he thought was dead at that time and yesterday, that person came back to him. Of course he was very happy to know that besides himself, there were others still alive. Moreover, he knew that person very well and was already close to him. Because that man was his father's friend.
"Uncle Yuan." Said the boy with his head tilted, "Why is uncle here?"
The Uncle Yuan that the boy said was none other than Zhou Yuan. The one who was once the personal servant of Hao Yu. He smiled, "Your own Young Master why is he here?"
"I'm just looking for some fresh air, nothing more and uncle, don't call me Young Master. After all, uncle was my father's best friend. Also, the Zhou family is gone now. So there's no need to call me 'Young Master'."
"But still, you are the Young Master of the Zhou family."
"Tck, uncle.. I don't want you to call me that anymore. Otherwise, then I would be angry at uncle," the boy before Zhou Yuan was Zhou Yan, the beggar boy that Feng Ying and Wang Chen met near the port.
"alright.. Because I don't want you to be angry. Then I will call you Yan'er. How's it?"
Zhou Yan smiled and nodded happily. "Like it better. Than that."
Zhou Yuan immediately jumped up high and retraced on the same tree branch as Zhou Yan. He looked at the sky and the direction facing his body was different from Zhou Yan, "Huh.. I know, you must miss your parents."
Zhou Yan was stunned. He's still sitting in the same position, "You're right, uncle. I miss them."
"Honestly, I'm like that too. I miss my family and your father. But how else? They're gone."
"I know," Zhou Yan clenched his hands without looking at Zhou Yuan, "But I will definitely avenge their deaths on that person.. People who have attacked our family, the Zhou family."
Zhou Yuan glanced at Zhou Yan who was still sitting facing the opposite place to him, "The one who was wrong was the one who had already sent out that person."
"I don't care. For me, they are the same and must be calculated. Lives must be paid for by life."
Zhou Yuan could only stare at Zhou Yan. He understood that even though he had said many times that the wrong thing was the one who sent the assassin, but still it would not work. As for the current Zhou Yan, the ones at fault were those hit men.
He chose to change the subject, "I'll teach you the puppet-control technique, Yan'er. But before that, I'll take the book your father saved you first."
Zhou Yan was surprised at once confused. Zhou Yuan told him to come down and finally he complied. They also stand on the ground.
"Hold on a little bit," Zhou Yuan instantly made a hand gesture and lastly, he placed one of his palms on Zhou Yan's chest.
Originally, Zhou Yan felt nothing. But before long, he began to feel that something was in his body that was forcing him out. She groans in pain. "Aarrkh!"
Slowly, Zhou Yuan distanced his palm from Zhou Yan. Simultaneously, an object started to come out from within Zhou Yan's body and flew closer at Zhou Yuan.
Hap!
Zhou Yuan caught up to him immediately and the pain Zhou Yan felt was no longer felt. The boy sat on the ground holding his chest. His gaze was directed at Zhou Yuan.
"A-What is this?", Zhou Yan pressed back against his chest as he was still in pain.
"That's the book that sent the hit man 1 year ago. They can't find him. Because before the massacre happened, your father got a bad feeling and immediately secured the book on your body. Only your father, your mother and I know how to get it out."

Now Kai is healed. He bowed his body and head to Feng Ying as if thanking her and giving her respect. His strength increased after obtaining blood from Feng Ying, just like back then. Originally he was at the level of a 3-star emperor, now an 8-star emperor. What an amazing increase.
Feng Ying nodded when she found out that her blood had helped Kai, "Stand now."
Kai immediately stood up straight facing Feng Ying. Until Feng Ying finally made a sound again, "Is there another griffin in this place? Because I found a griffin with an ash wingtip."
Kwaaakk Kwaakk
"So it seems," Feng Ying smiled obliquely, as if she was planning something evil. "So that griffin was the son of the old griffin I killed two years ago. All right, I've decided. I'll kill him too and take his core."
Wang Chen who had been silent and still shocked finally came to a realization when he heard Feng Ying say, "Y-Ying.. How could that be.. Your blood.. Earlier.. Why.." Wang Chen was hard to say anything.
Feng Ying looked at Wang Chen, "This is what you have to keep her secret. You can't tell anyone about my blood. You promised." He said with a cold look.
Wang Chen silently silently swallowed his saliva. Feng Ying's cold gaze was so sinister. Like the gaze of a true assassin that could even be said to be more than that. He nodded his head quickly, "I can't possibly break my promise. Exceedingly.. When others find out about your blood.. Then you'll be in danger.. Ma-Therefore, I won't say it. Because I don't want to.. You're inside.. Danger." Said Wang Chen fearfully scared and nervous.
Feng Ying's gaze turned 180 degrees. He smiled broadly and as if he had never shown a look, "Alright.. I keep your promise."
"Kai, can you tell me where the griffin is? I will visit him and meet," Feng Ying smiled.
Although Feng Ying smiled, neither Kai nor Gong felt that Feng Ying would be treated with kindness or courtesy. They seemed to know what Feng Ying might do.
Kwaaakk
"But I'll just go with your son. After all, he also must know where the griffin house is."
Kwaaakk
Gong immediately lowered his body and head. Feng Ying was still behind him. However after hearing his voice, Feng ying immediately turned around.
"Well, you agree too. Kai, I'm leaving now. You are here together with Chen and Wang Feng only. See you, you guys don't come. Because it will hinder me later," Feng Ying climbed onto Gong's body and the griffin began to stand upright and fly low.
"But.. Ying-"
Feng Ying cut off Wang Chen's remark. "Not to worry. We'll just visit that griffin and pick up his core. Not challenging the danger."
After saying that, Feng Ying and Gong darted out.
"But you're doing it, Ying." Wang Chen muttered anxiously.
