Not for long Mingyue felt someone watching her. His hand instantly took out an arrow and released it in the direction where he felt someone was.
Then a black shadow appeared. Mingyue then took out another arrow. He frowned and started aiming while following the movement of the shadow.
After feeling right he aimed at her. But not about it. The shadow moved again in the darkness of the night.
Mingyue was about to pick up an arrow, but suddenly a blade shot out at high speed, which even Mingyue had difficulty following his movements.
He tried to dodge, but his shoulder was scratched.
A knife again shot out from the other direction.
Mingyue quickly avoided it. The knife almost hit him.
He tried to stand up after falling. Reaching for the arrows that had been scattered on the ground. Pulling strings and wanting to aim. A knife was on his neck. The person watching him was behind him.
When he wanted to end Mingyue's life, he suddenly distanced the blade. Mingyue immediately took out a knife and pulled the person's hand, then kicked him to the ground.
“The person died?”
The black-clothed man had his body pierced. Blood flowed from the hole in his chest.
“I killed him.”
Suddenly Su Jiao spoke and walked over.
“Why did you kill him?”
“I should have rather died in his hands. You should have let it. Wasn't I the one who tried to kill you? Am I not a person who deserves to die?”
“Why do you say that?”
“People who love me have you killed. The reason for me is no longer there. You've destroyed everything I've had in one day. You deserve to be called a villain rather than your noble princess.”
Mingyue then picked up all the scattered arrows. When he picked up the last arrow, he grasped it very tightly, then sighed and looked at the sky.
Mingyue recalled what her uncle had said. He once said, “Having something that means the core of my life. I love my job, and you should have it someday.”
“I already have it, uncle Chao, I have uncle, and happy uncle is something I should strive for.”
Mingyue then looked at Su Jiao. “Because I only have it in this world. If without him, I've lost it all.”
Su Jiao did not argue. He then held the girl's hand slowly and demanded her leave. But Mingyue was unwilling and withdrew her hand.
Before Mingyue said Su Jiao directly held her hand tighter and pulled it forcefully.
Su Jiao then sat down in front of his courtyard. He then pulled her to sit down. Mingyue was unwilling, but Su Jiao's strength was very strong for her.
Su Jiao then took out a long white cloth from behind her clothes. He then raised Mingyue's hand and bandaged a wound on her shoulder.
“Yue, er, have you seen your father and mother?”
“For what to ask like that?” mingyue replied indifferently.
“I've been looking for information about you. You don't have to behave like this. Yue’er.”
“Don't call me that! Only Uncle Chao can call me that.”
“Have people called you that name?”
Ming then looked at Su Jiao. “Do you know where my father and mother are?”
“No.”
Mingyue disappointed. “You said you've been looking for information about me.”
“I didn't get any information about your parents.”
As they spoke finally Su Jiao finished tying her bandages.
Mingyue looked at the wound that had been on the bandage and slightly smiled. All this time no one had noticed him until like this, except for Uncle Chao who had been dead. He then looked at Su Jiao and wondered, why did he do it? Was he wrong all this time? It might have been a trick he had done to get something, but I felt that this was really sincere, if not like that, what did he want?
“Do you remember your mother?”
Mingyue shook her head. “No, Ming did not remember it. Except for one conversation that came out of nowhere. I felt in my arms and my back was wet. I heard the cry of a woman. The woman then kissed my forehead while strengthening me to fight. Then he rubbed my head and left. I could only feel and remember a little of that. Is he my parents?”
“For so long I was in the ghost of curiosity with the gray figure, until now I am still curious.”
“If you want to have a mother, you can think of me as your mother.”
“Never! You must have other plans to do this.”
“What plan?”
“I don't know, but I'm sure it's there.”
Mingyue then stood up. He left after taking his arrows and bow.

The night is getting late and the wind is blowing slowly, but it is getting colder. The moon was crossed by clouds several times and the stars kept shining brightly in the sky there. A beauty that no one will ever find.
The window of the library opened and from there came the sound of the wind, the birds, as well as people who were out of nowhere.
Xuan Yi sat quietly reading a book.
Some of the candles are still alive and there are some who die from being blown by the wind or are already exhausted.
Xuan Yi had never paid attention to those candles, he was too focused on reading books and subconsciously passed the day so quickly.
During her reading, she finally learned of the various histories, important places and events that changed this world. In addition, he knew of an innate power possessed by humans to reach higher levels and make them superhuman who has the power. Able to smash big rocks, run fast, destroy trees just by looking at it and many more amazing things that are read. Reading that, made Xuan Yi very excited to explore the wonder-filled outer world.
During her reading, she learned that there were some traditions of worship and some of the origins of the Sects that now stand in the empire. According to the book he read, there is one story that causes the northern area where barbarians are arid and difficult to get resources. A long time ago it was said that the place was very fertile, but because people were too happy and ignored the tradition of worship to the Goddess of fertility, finally their land was cursed to become arid as it is now, it will be returned if it is in time. Therefore the land became arid, whether done or not, the tribes continued to beg for forgiveness and perform the traditions as originally done their ancestors.
For the three sects, he said there were three geniuses who appeared, they created various martial techniques and made enormous progress. They are touted as a gift from the sky that is unequaled. Therefore each sect had the same characteristics as their Founder.
Xuan Yi then closed the book. One candle went out. He looked at the book his mother had given him. He did not understand the contents of the book at all and when he opened it he was confused by the empty contents and made it feel like he was in another area.
Suddenly the memory of the foreign woman he met while doing the sect entrance examination reappeared. Who's the lady?
Xuan Yi was not dizzy thinking about it. He was about to open the book, but a pair of clear eyes were visible from the door.
In an instant Xuan Yi was at the door and opened it.
