The Heavenly Tiger Swordsman
A Brother

Towards a night where the moon had already appeared a little, Hao Zhao as well as Yue Yie finally decided to stop their training.

On the way back to the Fallen Dahan city, Yue Yie continuously hummed happily making Hao Zhao feel a little strange hearing him.

“Yie, did anything good happen to you that you could look so happy like this?" hao Zhao asked, never remembering Yue Yie who when she first met him so coldly turned out to have such a side in her.

“Oh, what is so visible? Hehe, I'm just in the middle of being happy about being able to spend the last few days with you, Young Master Zhao." Yue Yie with her face that started to turn red blushed.

Hao Zhao raised his eyebrows, looking at Yue Yie full of probes before Yue Yie's hand suddenly patted her face.

“What?" Hao Zhao raised his eyebrows, completely not expecting Yue Yie to pat her on the face like that.

Yue Yie looked a little panicked, not understanding herself why her hands could move on their own to do so.

“Hehe, sorry Young Master Zhao. I just feel a little uncomfortable being stared at in such a way by you," Yue Yie said, where her eyes kept on the ground looking down.

Hao Zhao looked at the matter immediately frowned, before saying, “Yie, are you sick?"

“No, I'm fine," said Yue Yie quickly.

“Then why does your face look so red?" Hao Zhao raised his eyebrows, so waiting for what if Yue Yie's answer to his question.

“A— I just ... so happy?" Yue Yie was a little unsure.

Hao Zhao heard it becoming more and more wondering, not thinking of how to train his sword that made Yue Yie happy because Yue Yie was obviously not how long ago still looked annoyed when practicing sword with him.

“What is the way I train you a sword that makes you happy like this?" hao Zhao asked, trying to be sure.

The Yue Yie from who was originally smiling brightly immediately deteriorated her facial expression, remembering how annoying Hao Zhao had been for the past six days according to her. Where it was clear, it was not that thing that made Yue Yie happy like now.

Yue Yie was a nobody back then, she was just a child living in a small village with her small family consisting of her father, the mother of one older brother.

At the age of the fifth year Yue Yie, something unwanted happened to her family. Whether coming from nowhere, a bunch of bandits attacking his village to loot also acted arbitrarily.

The village was destroyed because of the actions of the bandits, as well as his family who had to become victims of the violence of the bandit gang.

Father, mother and sister Yue Yie had to die because of the event, making little Yue Yie have to live a kara that relied on herself to find food.

Until Yue Yie was met by Yang Gao accidentally, making Yang Gao who could see Yue Yie's talent invite Yue Yie along with her before raising her as a disciple.

Yue Yie grew full of attention and affection from Yang Gao afterwards, simultaneously Yue Yie was also surrounded by people who were so respectful towards her because of her status as a disciple of the Treasure Lantern patriarch.

This made Yue Yie slowly forget the dark events that befell her family, but not with the wounds in her heart.

Pain in the heart from losing both parents, Yue Yie can still try to heal because now she has Yang Gao as a new figure to fill the departure of both parents. In contrast to that, the pain of losing big brother figure was still so bothersome for Yue Yie even now.

All these things Yue Yie conveyed to Hao Zhao, where Yue Yie also conveyed if she somehow began to get rid of the pain of losing her brother since the arrival of Hao Zhao.

“Maybe I shouldn't have told you this, Young Master Zhao. Even so ... I have no regrets because I felt a little relieved after doing so," Yue Yie said with a bitter smile on her face.

“It must have been heavy for you to keep everything so far, you were great," said Hao Zhao, whose hand had already been raised to gently pat Yue Yie on the head several times.

“Eh? A— what are you doing Young Master Zhao?" yue Yie asked as she looked at Hao Zhao in disbelief.

“I? Just trying to make you feel better," Hao Zhao stared back at Yue Yie intently.

Yue Yie immediately shifted her gaze, after which she could only remain silent as she continued her steps.

Hao Zhao immediately grabbed Yue Yie's hand making Yue Yie's step stop, after which Hao Zhao's gentle pull made Yue Yie turn to look back at Hao Zhao who was still staring fixedly at him.

“Yie, you can think of me as your brother from now on" Hao Zhao said softly.

Yue Yie was immediately surprised not to believe at all that what she had just heard from Hao Zhao was the truth, just like how could Hao Zhao suddenly reveal such a thing to her.

“A— is that true, Young Master Zhao?" yue Yie asked trying to be sure.

“Of course, so stop calling me like ... Young Master? It shouldn't be a sister calling her brother that way" Hao Zhao said.

Yue Yie was getting fixated after hearing that, she felt strange but somehow she also felt happy about it.

“What's up? Don't you like it?" hao Zhao asked, after seeing Yue Yie only speechless after his remark.

“A— I want, Ka— Zhao's sister ...."

Yue Yie then pulled her hand to break from Hao Zhao's grasp, before walking quickly to leave from there with her blushing red face.

Hao Zhao only raised his eyebrows, not knowing what to do so just let Yue Yie leave.

“Hmm, does the pain recur again?" Hao Zhao wondered, after which only shook his head slowly choosing not to bother about it.

It was not long before Hao Zhao finally reached Dahan Gutur city. Where either the feeling alone or how, in front of the gate entering the city looked like it was much more crowded than usual.

Hao Zhao was aware of a few things from the oddity, one of which was that most of the people who wanted to enter the city had a profound energy in their bodies.

“Did anything happen until enough warriors decided to come to this city?" Hao Zhao when he had just managed to enter the city gate of Dahan Gutur, where not a single city guard dared to make things difficult for him somehow.

No matter how long Hao Zhao entered the city, soon Hao Zhao realized one other thing after seeing the atmosphere of the city streets late in the evening.

“Most of their robes are warriors who come similar, obviously they are warriors who come from different sects," murmured Hao Zhao.

“Young Master Zhao!"

An exclamation rang out, making Hao Zhao turn his head before realizing Jian San was running quickly trying to get to him.

“It just so happens that I can ask him about all these strange things," muttered Hao Zhao, thinking Jian San must have known what if the reason enough warriors with different sect robes came there.
