Legend of the Heavenly God
Ch. 107 ~ Meet Fen Lian
Tan Hao asked Lan Lihua to use her soul perception to figure out the situation around, as they waited for the gatekeeper who had not returned.
The situation that was quite lonely gave a peculiarity to Tan Hao, he felt that something might happen soon. It was not that he did not want to use the Eye of God, Tan Hao only wanted to give Lan Lihua a chance to demonstrate her abilities.
During this time Lan Lihua had only been more silent, Tan Hao felt it was not something good. Having great ability and high achievement will be useless if not always honed.
"Sir HaoHao, I saw a considerable movement from the southeast," said Lan Lihua who was still closing her eyes.
"Can you be sure?"
"The range is too far, I'm not so clear. For sure over a hundred people were moving towards Hibei,"
"Continue!" pinta Tan Hao then took out the Heavenly God Sword.
"All right, man! Now you can show me the real you." said Tan Hao, trying to talk to his father's sword.
As if understanding Tan Hao's words, the sword trembled for a moment then emitted a dazzling golden energy to the eyes. However, that was not an obstacle for Tan Hao.
"Oh interesting! My guess doesn't seem to miss," Tan Hao said with a smile.
It didn't take long for the energy radiance to vanish, the sword that originally floated in front of Tan Hao's face. Now change in form. The form that surprised Lan Lihua so much that she jerked from where she stood.
"What's wrong! You just go ahead," said Tan Hao to appease Lan Lihua.
Lan Lihua only nodded once then focused back on checking the surrounding area. While Tan Hao stood calmly looking at the original form of his father's sword.
"I just can't figure out why you've been so good at hiding yourself until I didn't realize it. Until the lotus beads from my mother told me about you. Is there anything you want to say?" said Tan Hao so casually that interspersed with a small laugh.
The embodiment of the Heavenly God Sword chuckled lightly, the colorful beautiful feathers he had looked so awesome. A form that was not too big, only smaller than the actual size of Ye Yuan.
His appearance even made Ye Yuan seem like he had never existed, he was silent deep within Tan Hao's soul space as if surprised to hold back in fear.
"It seems like the next time I say it, the person you're waiting for will be here soon. I don't want my appearance to be known right now," said the embodiment of the God Sword as he lowered his head as if paying his respects.
"G ... You right! Now you play first with my other friends," Tan Hao replied with a big smile.
"I'm ready whenever Young Master needs it" he said firmly. His long mustache which was only two strands seemed to dance drifting in opposite directions.
There was no further statement after, Tan Hao inserted it into the Dimensional Ring shortly after returning to the form of the sword.
Tan Hao let out a long sigh, occasionally he smiled then shook his head. Simultaneously, Lan Lihua had also finished inspecting the surrounding area.
"Sister! Are you done?" asked Lan Lihua slowly.
"You've been stupid over and over again and you still don't know? Take a look at that guard behind you," Lan Lihua said as she pointed at the gatekeeper who had been lying on the steps with his mouth foaming and his eyes turning white.
"Eh?! I forgot about his whereabouts just now," replied Tan Hao smiling innocently while scratching his back head.

Fen Lian smiled warmly as she spoke to Tan Hao, as if his cold and indifferent nature were disappearing in front of Tan Hao. Until he did not pay much attention to the existence of Lan Lihua.
Tan Hao simply answered all Fen Lian's questions, the three of them walking quite casually up the steps leading to the main hall of the Golden Tower Association of the Hibei branch.
"Hear from the guards, Miss Fen Lian is having a meeting? Shouldn't miss be in the Chu Empire? What a precarious thing that made the lady come to this remote little village in Wang Empire," Tan Hao said clearly. They stopped when they were a few steps from the entrance of the building.
Fen Lian flinched then sighed before smiling awkwardly.
"It seems like Young Master Tan Hao knew about it, huh? Okay, we'll talk about it later. Now let's go in and enjoy the banquet I've specially prepared,"
Tan Hao turned his head towards Lan Lihua as if asking for an opinion, but Lan Lihua's indifferent reaction should make her smile wryly. He realized the reason Lan Lihua behaved like that. Women have certain traits that make it seem unappreciated when the person he likes to switch views to other women, even if the conversation is not about feelings.
Fen Lian entered and took a seat first followed by Lan Lihua who ignored Tan Hao before he said anything.
"He he ... Women oh women? It's so hard, "tan Hao plainly said.
Elsewhere, Elder Tiandou and Liu Zey were sitting in a teahouse. The two looked quite silent, listening to some small discussions as well as the tavern visitor talks. The drink shop is not too wide but there are so many visitors, that there is no seat left.
Most of the visitors were not Hibei villagers, it was seen from their clothes and the way they spoke. Besides that, the shopkeeper also seemed to not recognize them from his reaction when delivering wine orders.
"Sister Tian! Shouldn't we go back? Night is almost here, I think Young Master is waiting for us" Liu Zey asked slowly. Both of them wore black robes with headgear so that their presence was not too conspicuous.
"Don't worry! The Young Master was taking care of an important matter, while Yue Yin had yet to return. I still have to find out all the information needed," Tiandou softly explained then holding Liu Zey's hand.
"You better not talk anymore or everyone will know you're a woman" he added, smiling warmly.
Tiandou had to smile wryly, as he was in the tavern for almost two hours but no important information was obtained. Only the boasting and stupid statements of low-level warriors are useless.
However, when he intended to invite Liu Zey to leave the tavern, some people who were sitting not far from his place began to talk about something that caught his attention.
Indeed, when the night has come, many tavern visitors are reduced. Only a few tables still have visitors. It was quiet and quiet, different from the situation two hours ago.
"I think I recognize this voice? Could it be that bastard Gao Zhan?" tiandou growled after hearing the voice of the conversation from the other direction.
Gao Zhan was not aware of Tiandou's frustration with him because he had never met or fought between them. While at the diner some time ago he did not have time to see the chaos that occurred because he decided to leave before ordering food.
