After being content to chat with the grandfather and elders, Xie Long then said goodbye to them, as he could not linger too long outside the sect, besides, it was, there were still some herbs he wanted to look for in the city of Xuanshi.
At first, Lin Jianheeng offered his grandson some help, he even intended to escort him back to the Golden Phoenix sect, but Xie Long immediately rejected the offer, because he did not want his identity to be known by others.
"Young Master, are you sure you don't need both of our escorts?" ask the clan gatekeeper.
Xie Long shook his head, "Uncle is better here, because it would be terrible if grandfather did not find uncle both here."
"Young Master, let alone anger the Patriarch, for the sake of maintaining your security, we are even willing to sacrifice lives."
"Thank you uncle, but I was forced to reject both uncle's wishes and sorry if I let uncle down" said Xie Long, then lowered his head.
"Young Master, don't do this, we don't deserve your respect."
"Uncle is wrong, precisely uncle really deserves it, because according to father, the person who deserves respect is a good person like this second uncle."
"So, then excuse me" he continued, then left the two gatekeepers behind.
The two guards were still looking at Xie Long's increasingly distant back, neither did they expect that their Young Master had a very polite demeanor, even at his very young age, he can appreciate others.
"The Lin family is truly blessed, hopefully our family will always succeed."
"You're right, I expected the same thing."
In town.
After leaving the Lin family territory, Xie Long then headed to the market and visited some taverns selling herbs, but after touring for quite a while, he still had not found the garden he was looking for.
While he was resting, someone suddenly came to him, that person was a spy sent by the leader of the Black Lightning sect to watch over Xie Long and his younger brother, Xie Ling.
"May I sit here?" ask the man.
"Of course, uncle" Xie Long replied without the slightest suspicion.
"You look exhausted, did you just finish training?"
Xie Long shook his head, "I'm looking for herbs, but I still haven't found them."
"herbal plant? What plant are you looking for? Maybe I can help you find her."
"Ten-year-old Red Ginseng" Xie Long replied.
"Red ginseng, huh? Looks like I have one" said the man, then took out the plant in question from his pocket.
"Really! This is the red ginseng I was looking for and it's over ten years old" Xie Long seemed excited after seeing the plant, "Will uncle sell it to me?"
"Unfortunately, I only have one and I don't plan to sell it, but if you really need this plant, I can show you where I got it, maybe there's another ginseng there."
"really? Where did uncle find him?"
"In the North of this city, but it's a little far from here."
"Thank you uncle, one day I will definitely return the favor of uncle" said Xie Long, then left the man.
Not long after Xie Long left, the man suddenly disappeared from sight, a moment later, he had appeared in the depths of the forest while following Xie Long from a distance, after all, however his steps suddenly came to a halt as he sensed the aura of immense power.
"Who are you?!"
"Just not knowing yourself, how dare you trap my Master's son!"
A moment later, a man dressed all in black like an Assassin appeared in front of the man, he was the shadow of Lin Feng who had just arrived in the city of Xuanshi just a moment ago.
Originally, Lin Feng's shadow had intended to help Xie Long, but when he reached the city of Xuanshi, he instead saw Xie Long talking to a stranger, and while listening to their chat, he noticed that he was talking to a stranger, shadow Lin Feng already knew that the man had evil intentions on Xie Long.
"What do you mean?" ask the man.
"Don't pretend to be stupid!" said Lin Feng, then walked up to the man, "If you don't want to die, you better tell me what your true purpose is?"
The man trembled as he looked at Lin Feng, his extremely sharp eyes as well as the killing aura emanating from his body, making the man feel like he was meeting a Death God who wanted to take his life.
"I-i..."
"Thank you, I already know everything" said Lin Feng, then decapitated the man.
After which, Lin Feng disappeared from sight, a moment later, he appeared again not far from Xie Long, yet he did not directly stop him, but rather just watched him from a distance.
***
An hour had passed since Xie Long had gone towards the Northern region, but until now he had still not found the place in question, and let alone found the place, not to mention, he did not even find any herbs around there.
"Why aren't there any herbs around here?"
When Xie Long was focused on finding the herbs he wanted, he involuntarily passed through a protective formation invisible to the eye, and instantly, immediately, Xie Long who was originally in the forest, had suddenly been in front of a gate.
"What is this place?"
Not long after, several people appeared before him, they were the leaders and elders of the sect, "Welcome, do you want to join my sect?"
"I'm sorry, sir, it seems like I'm going the wrong way" Xie Long replied politely.
"No problem, so, do you want to join my sect?" the sect leader repeated his question.
"I'm really sorry, but I'm a disciple of the Golden Phoenix sect, so there's no way I'm joining the sect Master" Xie Long replied, still in a polite tone, because he did not want to offend those people in front of him.
"Haha! I don't care which sect you are, since you've already entered here, inevitably you have to join this sect, otherwise, you won't come out safely."
"really? I want to see who dares to do that to my son!" said Lin Feng, then appeared beside Xie Long.
"Dad!"
"Who are you? How did you break through the barrier I created?"
"Who am I is not important, but because you want to harm my son, then be prepared to accept the consequences!" replied Lin Feng.
