Arriving at the location Lian turned to and fro looking for the whereabouts of – people, seen hordes of citizens were gathering at the exit of the village. Lian held onto her knees while trying to catch her breath, a sweat drenching her entire face.
“Lian?! Where have you been?” the middle-aged man of the previous wood seller finally realized the arrival of the – boy.
“Uncle? Where's rangand—“
“They've gone Lian’er” Guan Qianda appeared from within the crowd.
“Teacher Guan!? I'm sorry! After all – words trust me yesterday I instead...I apologize as much as –!” lian bowed with regret.
“Lian’er lift your head, I know there must be a reason why you got late. Try telling me”
“Actually...”.
Lian tells the whole story from the moment she wakes up and leaves very early but spends time helping Grandma Nuan find her family. Guan Qianda nodded – nodding in a sign of understanding, but Lian still really felt guilty.
“What's Lian’er, your decision to help the grandmother was exactly—“
“Hohoho...did you see Brother Guan? What say? You just throw away – waste of energy hoping on this poor little boy” a man – arrogant-faced man dressed in luxury laughs complacently.
He opened his fan and threw a condescending look at Lian, the fruit not falling far from the tree. Such is the saying that is often heard and is true, the figure in front of Lian now is Chun Jiao. The head of the Chun family as well as Chun Lang's parents are also Chun Ah.
“Quite Mr. Chun...”
“Why? I'm just telling you the truth, the farm boy seems unlikely to be able to beat the talent of my son –. You better go back to take care of the fertilizer in the field of udik” boy
“Salah, there's still a chance. It's not over Lian”
“Lu Cai?!”
Lu Xiulan's father arrived – suddenly interjected, the surrounding community began to fidget then slowly tried to stay away because they did not want to get involved. The three most influential families in the Windless Heights Valley were currently clashing with each other.
Lu Cai told Lian that actually a moment ago, the members of the – White Crow Sect members came and gave a general assessment only. The joining examination had yet to officially begin, they brought twenty of the most potentially high-quality children successfully passed the test from the village.
Therefore Lian had a chance if she managed to catch up with the group or reach the White Crow Sect headquarters before the real test was closed three days ahead. Hearing this news Lian instantly rose, a strong determination emanated through the look in her eyes.
“I'll go!”
“Wait a minute, please bring BlackThunder to me”
One of Lu's family aides said he then led a dashing, muscular black horse ready with his saddle. Lu Cai thrust the rope of the beast at Lian, making the child and everyone stare in astonishment.
“Use him, BlackThunder is our best horse. Hope you make it”
“Uncle? I can't take it, this mount is too good for me. I better run sa—“
“We cannot refuse the gift”
“Thank God Lian’er” Guan Qianda was also happy to see it.
After being convinced many – times, then Lian finally willing to go up even with a rather heavy heart. He still felt unworthy to ride a horse as great as BlackThunder. Guan Qianda came forward to give him some advice on being able to catch up to the White Crow Sect group.
“Lian’er I want to ask for help, this is about Xiuxiu..”.
The head of the family began to tell him that Lu Xiulan actually did not have the slightest intention of becoming a Cultivator, but without him noticing. There was a hidden talent within him, it attracted the interest of the members of the White Crow Sect.
Unwilling to make trouble for Father and his family, Lu Xiulan agreed to come with them. Lu Cai was also actually reluctant to allow Xiulan to leave, he knew once how bloody the Cultivator world was. Because it used to have a sister who tried her luck through the road but never returned.
“I'm afraid....Xiuxiu has the same feeling, so please...please help my daughter....”.
GRABS!
“Don't uncle, all right. I will do my best to help Young Miss Lu” said Lian swiftly intercepting the man prostrating to her.
“Thank you, I leave him to you”
Lian nodded before spurring BlackThunder, in a few blinks of an eye. The silhouette is no longer visible, one by one people began to return to the residence – each. Guan Qianda, Chun Jiao, and Lu Cai.
“Heh stupid, you sent him just to die. Everyone knows that the location of the White Crow Sect is well hidden. Individual – individuals who are not members are impossible to find it” Chun Jiao snorted mocking signs.
“We will see...who will laugh the last” said Lu Cai calmly.
------><------
Lian's journey wasn't easy, as fast as she tried to catch up. There was no sign of – group marks from White Crow Sect, moreover he had to stop several times for the sake of feeding and drinking BlackThunder.
“I know that it was you who planted this but...really I started to get sick of eating it” muttered Lian and then bit the cucumber tip in her hand.
Lian did bring a variety of – kinds of vegetables in her carry mound as a stock, she also occasionally shared with BlackThunder carrot plants and other – others. His sleep had to be cut, for two days Lian slept for three hours before returning to ride the mighty black horse.
BlackThunder itself should also be rested, so that many hours are wasted. At the end of the second day, Lian arrived outside a foggy forest. A collection of trees without leaves adorned the road.
.
Lian went down to confirm if it was true that the White Crow Sect group's horse carriage was heading there, after searching for a while. His eyes caught the trail of – wheel tracks are still new, indicating if there is a vehicle shortly just passed.
“Alright BlackThunder, I think it's enough to get here. I know you are an intelligent animal and must be able to return to Windless Heights Valley” Lian untied – ties all over the horse's body.
BlackThunder neighs sadly, although he has only spent a short time. He begins to like Lian and refuses to leave the boy. Lian tried to calm him down, slowly the boy's hand – men gently stroked his nose.
“Not what –, I'll be good – fine”
Lian fed him a tuk last time, BlackThunder rubbed his head full of affection then immediately spun the direction of running at full speed through the cold air of the evening.
After the horse was not seen again, Lian turned her attention towards the misty forest there. Swallowing his heavy saliva, he skillfully created a simple torch to accompany him later to barge in.
“I have a bad feeling about this place, I hope only my feelings. Excite Lian, let's skip immediately and find the location of White Crow Sect is” Lian took a deep breath – then stepped steadily splitting the thick fog before her.
