“Straight ahead is the Ocean City. Judging our current speed, if we continue in this direction, we will reach the Innumerable Green City.” Chou Xiao Tian said.
“Sigh—” Everyone sighed. Was this guy joking or what? How could they just wander on the streets for ten years? What’s more, they were already moving at Little Roc’s speed. If they rode any other flying beast, they might taken more than fifteen years!
“And that’s just considering if there are no obstructions in our path.” Chou Xiao Tian said. “But we are not sure how many beast territories we will pass, who might chase us down to kill us.”
Sima You Yue rubbed for forehead. This was indeed a terrible thing.
“How about the Lian family? Didn’t you say that Lian Hong’s father is a member of the Lian family? Does his family clan not care about him?” Wei Zi Qi asked.
“His father disowned the family in order to be with his mother.” Chou Xiao Tian said. “I respect him very much for that. Because he was all alone, I agreed to help him.”
“So the Lian family will not care about Lian Hong?” Fatty Qu asked.
“It’s already a great thing that the Lian family has not sent anyone out here to kill us.” Chou Xiao Tian smiled bitterly. “I had originally wanted to bring him back to the Central Province, but because we were chased down, we had no other choice, so we had to escape to a rural area.”
“Then, does the Lian family know that Lian Hong exists?” Sima You Ran asked.
“Maybe they do, maybe they don’t.” Chou Xiao Tian said. “Back then, there was someone else from his family clan with us, but when we were escaping, we got separated. If he survived, then the Lian family would know. If he didn’t, then they wouldn’t know.”
“I think, even if that fellow hadn’t survived, the Lian family would still be aware.” Sima You Yue said. “The Lian family is the Fei family’s sworn enemy, and they would definitely keep tabs on their goings-on. All these years, the news of the Fei family chasing you guys down has generated a lot of buzz, there is no way that the Lian family is unaware. I think we just have to rely on the plans of the Lian family members who know. But since they have not done anything all these years, it might be futile to harbour any sort of hope.”
“Sigh—” Chou Xiao Tian heaved a sigh, and Lian Hong lowered his head.
“Honestly, why are you bringing him to look for Lian Ze?” Sima You Yue asked.
“That was his father’s wish.” Chou Xiao Tian looked at Lian Hong. “Before his father died, he said that if there was still not a single person within the Lian family whom was trustworthy, then we should look for his younger brother in the Innumerable Green Temple. He was definitely trustworthy. As long as we get to the Innumerable Green Temple, the Fei family members will not dare to lay a finger on Lian Hong. That’s because even the Fei family members in the Innumerable Green Temple would not attempt anything. But I’ve never been able to get on contact with this uncle.”
“Sigh. This is so troublesome!” Sima You Le said. “This uncle has not made a sound for these many decades, and we can’t be sure if he is still as trustworthy as he used to be. If we end up rushing to this place only to be rushing to our deaths, that would be a disaster.”
“If it’s not possible, I’ll just have to bring him to the Central Province with me.” Chou Xiao Tian said. “In the Central Province, the Fei family members will not be able to do anything to us.”
“Let’s first think of a way to get to the Innumerable Green Temple.” Sima You Ran said. “Ten years is a long time. The longer we are outside, the more dangerous it is.”
“That’s right.” Fatty Qu quipped. “The longer we linger around, the chances of them chasing us down would be higher. In fact, the people that they send this time may be even more powerful than the last. And we can’t develop our skills that much in this short period of time either.”
“Not bad, Fatty Qu, you are able to deduce things now!” Wei Zi Qi said sarcastically.
“Huh. I’m not someone with only brawns and no brain.” Fatty Qu poked Wei Zi Qi, unhappy with what he said. Everyone laughed at their bickering, and the tension in the air lessened by just a little.
“I’m sorry to trouble all of you. I will make it up to you in the future.” Lian Hong suddenly said. Sima You Yue knew that he was tenderhearted and kind. The fact that he remained this way despite hanging around Chou Xiao Tian was a good thing.
She smiled and said, “Lian Hong, don’t carry any guilt on your shoulders. Your Master has avenged us, after all.” Lian Hong looked at Sima You Yue and knew that she was trying to comfort him. He smiled wordlessly as the gratitude that he had towards her grew even greater.
They flew for many days, and yet not a single member of the Fei family had attempted to chase them down. In order for Little Roc to rest, they changed their flying beast. In this journey, they had definitely understood the vastness of the Primordial Lands. They had flown for more than a month, yet there was still not a single city in site. All they could see was the great mountain ranges, the large plains, and the strong rivers.
While they were enroute, Fei Si brought a few of his men to one of the mountain ranges. Before their flying beast was encircled by a group of goshawks.
“Who are you?”
Fei Si stood on his flying beast, and looked at the goshawks around him calmly, saying. “Fei Si from the Fei family would like to request an audience with the Goshawk King, as he has something to report to him.”
“From the Fei family?” A goshawk with a pure white coat of feathers looked sharply at Fei Si. Seeing that he had not avoided his stares, he turned to the goshawk behind him and said, “Report this to our King.”
“Yes, sir.” That goshawk batted its wings and flew off, returning a few moments later and announcing, “The King says to invite him in.”
“Bring him in.” The white goshawk commanded. Ten other goshawks surrounded Fei Si, and escorted him into the valley. Fei Si gathered that this must be a large goshawk territory, as he saw that in every mountain, there were a few goshawks. Even the young goshawks were undergoing a very rigorous training.
Not long after they had entered the deep mountain range, they were no longer allowed to fly. Hence, they landed, and Fei Si kept his contract beast, following the goshawks towards the peak of the highest mountain. After two hours, they finally reached its peak. At the peak, the Goshawk King, who was the size of a small mountain, was taking in the sunset from where he was.
It was only after a while did the Goshawk King stop to turn to ask, “Are you Fei Si?”
Fei Si bowed simply, and said without hesitation, “Fei Si from the Fei family greets the Goshawk King.”
“Our goshawk clan has never had much interactions with humankind. What do you have, that you come to look for us?” The Goshawk King said flatly, with a proud and graceful attitude showing Fei Si that he was not afraid of him.
Fei Si smiled, saying, “I have come to day to offer a proposition of a collaboration with the Goshawk King.”
“A collaboration? I don’t see a reason for us to collaborate. You humans are too different from us, and there is nothing that we have in common to work for.” The Goshawk King said. “If this is all you came to talk about, you can leave now. Seeing that you are a Fei family member, I will not punish you for causing a disturbance with your presence.” With that, two flies landed, preparing to take them away.
“Don’t be too quick to chase me away, Goshawk King. Fei Si said confidently. “You haven’t even heard my proposal. Once I’m done with that, I think you might definitely be interested in working with us.”
The Goshawk King looked at Fei Si, and after a while, he said, “So say what you have to say.”
“Do you wish to know the previous Roc King’s current whereabouts and goings-on?” Fei Si looked at the Goshawk King, smiling. Seeing the Goshawk King’s change in attitude, he smiled with satisfaction.
