The Ghost of Fog
Chapters 19. Practicing Together 2

A few minutes later, Xiao Lian returned with her parents. Looking from the girl's beaming face, Lin Tian could surmise that both of his parents were agreeing that Xiao Lian would train under his guidance.

"Lin Tian, is it true that you will help with my daughter's training?" Xiao Li said as the three of them had already arrived near Lin Tian.

"Sure sir, will you allow it?"

"Haha....Of course, why not? I've never seen your abilities in person, but I do believe in the words of my son and wife who say that you're a saint who came to save them." Said the middle-aged man with a big laugh.

"Hmm.but, it looks like I'd be much more trusting if I tried it myself hehe..." Continue with a cynical smile.

"Please, sir." Reply Lin Tian casually.

Without further ado, Xiao Li instantly slashed his punch towards Lin Tian's face which was only about a meter in front of him. Obviously this attack was very fraudulent and embarrassing, but the next incident made everyone there including the man who was observing from afar surprised instead of playing.

The reason was, just when the fist was about to hit Lin Tian's handsome face, this young man only tilted his head in a casual motion and the punch was able to avoid it perfectly.

"Swuuussshhh!!"

The punch struck beside Lin Tian's head and there was the sound of wind rumbling from the air of the punch.

It turned out to be an extremely powerful blow to this, as the fist passed beside Lin Tian's head, its punch was able to shake a tree that was approximately five meters behind Lin Tian.

Xiao Li widened his eyes in shock if Lin Tian was able to dodge his attack, but in the depths of his heart he felt happy as well because his daughter would be trained by a great like that young man.

Without giving a chance, Xiao Li then moved his other hand to send out an attack again. But before his hand moved, Lin Tian had already first moved his hand towards the blood vessels in Xiao Li's neck.

It was extremely dangerous to note this, the blood vessels that Lin Tian was aiming for were the weakest and most dangerous points in humans. Since those veins were the pathway to funnel blood from the heart to the brain, if Lin Tian was right on target, he said, then the path of blood will stop or worse the vessel will break and the person will die immediately.

But it was impossible for Lin Tian to do that. Right an inch in front of Xiao Li's neck, Lin Tian stopped the pace of his hand. This clearly made Xiao Li stand stiff and let out cold sweat.

"C-c-so fast." He muttered in a shocked heart to see Lin Tian's lightning strike.

"H-great....." Inner Xiao Mei and Xiao Lian.

As for a man who had seen from a distance was only able to stand dumbly looking at the event just now.

"Hows it? Do you trust me completely now?" Finally Lin Tian asked after lowering his hand.

"Yes, I believe, I believe!! I didn't think you'd turn out to be this great. In that case, please guide my daughter Lin Tian." The answer is still a little nervous considering the incident.

Lin Tian simply nodded his head without taking out a word.

"Dad, you just attacked Lin Tian in such a way, do you have no shame!?" Suddenly Xiao Lian asked with a sullen face.

"Eh, eee.not so my daughter, I did attack Lin Tian all of a sudden because I was sure she could definitely avoid it. And it turns out to be true, right? he managed to dodge perfectly. I did it not because I wanted to harm Lin Tian, but because I trusted Lin Tian too much to forget myself." Xiao Li replied calmly by putting on a handsome and dignified manner to cover up his embarrassment. Indeed, when his son asked that, he felt his face was slapped by the words of the girl.

"Hmmph!!" Xiao Lian only snorted at the words of her father.

"Hihi..well Lin Tian, can you start the practice now?" Xiao Mei watched as she chuckled amusedly at the quarrel of the boy's father.

"Of course Madam."

"Alright, then please help Lin Tian." Xiao Mei said as she respectfully followed by her husband.

Seeing that, Lin Tian also went along to pay his respects as well.

*******

"Well, miss, now I want to see your swordsmanship and silat that you use so that I can know where the gaps and weaknesses are." Said Lin Tian right after Xiao Mei and Xiao Li left them.

Xiao Lian nodded her head and without being ruled twice, this girl immediately played her family's derivative silat named 'Science Silat Dewi Kahyangan'. As the name suggests, this science was created indeed for a female swordsman because the movements in silat is very beautiful and more worthy of being called a dance.

But when Xiao Lian played this silat, there were still a lot of gaps and unnecessary movements. This was able to be realized by Lin Tian in one look either because the young man was too meticulous or indeed Xiao Lian's game was too bad.

After a few minutes, Xiao Lian finished playing all the moves in the Science of Silat Dewi Kahyangan. Then this girl then pulled out her sword and showed the sword intelligence that also came from the family legacy to Lin Tian.

"Enough!" Shouted Lin Tian who instantly stopped Xiao Lian's movements.

Xiao Lian's breathing had already begun to dashed and her clothes seemed to be drenched in sweat. If this was exhausted, let alone in the fight, it was certain that this Miss would die that was how Lin Tian thought.

"Well...Miss, both your martial arts and swordsmanship are both still raw. If you were in a real fight and played your martial arts that way, there would be two possibilities, the first you will die and the second you will not die but will be the laughingstock of your enemies." Clearly Lin Tian was without hiding anything.

"Well..hah...then...what should I do? And what's less than my silat?"

"Look Miss...."

Then Lin Tian explained in detail about all the mistakes and flaws made by Xiao Lian earlier. Also, Lin Tian gave a little suggestion for the girl's martial arts and swordsmanship to be even more perfect.

All of that they lived together until it was not felt that it had been five days that Lin Tian was in the Xiao residence and became Xiao Lian's guide.

*******

"Trubs."

"Good!! increase your power!!"

That morning there was a young man and a young woman who were pitting her sword in the back yard of the residence of the Xiao family leader. They were none other than Lin Tian and Xiao Mei.

It had been seven days since Lin Tian had been at the Xiao residence to train the family leader's daughter. Actually Lin Tian was feeling sorry for Xiao Li and Xiao Mei, he felt that he had inconvenienced the Xiao family a lot during his stay in this residence. Actually Lin Tian had intended to leave two days ago, but Xiao Niu instead cried and dragged Lin Tian to collect his promise that he would stay there for one week, finally inevitably this young man obeyed the wishes of the little girl who was chatty not playing.

And this morning, Lin Tian was as usual training Xiao Lian to help the girl perfect her martial arts.

"Hiaat....!!!"

Xiao Lian let out a long shout as she thrust her sword towards Lin Tian's left ribcage, but easily the young man was able to dodge the attack by squatting down and instead sent a counterattack with his left hand which he pointed at Xiao Lian's stomach.

Seeing that, Xiao Lian immediately jumped back avoiding Lin Tian's attack, she did not dare to claw the young man's hand directly because she thought it was too risky.

Just as Xiao Lian had set foot on the ground, Lin Tian had already lunged forward with his sword piercing towards the heart feather.

Xiao Lian did not stay still, quickly she moved her sword to deflect while her left foot retreated slightly back.

"Songlips!!" Fireflowers flew when the two blades met. Xiao Lian did not waste this opportunity, this girl then moved her left leg which she had deliberately moved her position backward to kick Lin Tian's right arm.

"Bwgokk!!"

There was a loud sound when the leg touched Lin Tian's arm, but this young man did not feel any pain at all as he had already drained his inner strength to protect his arm.

"Huh.hah.you are so great Lin Tian." Xiao Lian said in awe as she adjusted her breathing.

"You are also Miss, although your magic is still not good enough, but this is still better than a few days ago. You just need to keep practicing diligently to mature your techniques."

Xiao Lian simply nodded hearing Lin Tian's advice.

"Oh yeah, won't there be a meeting tonight between the ruling families?" Said Lin Tian.

"Yes, you're right." Reply Xiao Lian who suddenly had the look on her face become serious.

"Hopefully by meeting tonight, all these issues will be resolved soon." Further.

"Yes.you're right." Lin Tian said as he looked at the blue sky in the morning.

Indeed today was a day that would be the determinant of the fate of the Xiao family. Because the six ruling families including the Xiao family will hold a secret meeting to uncover the peculiarities of the post-meeting in the Hu family a few days ago.

After Xiao Li sent his notification letter to each of the families, they immediately replied to the message and said they would head straight for the Xiao family residence. All of this was done so that they could determine the best move that could be taken to deal with the Hu family.

"After this, everything will become clear...." Inner Lin Tian and Xiao Lian lay down.
