Chapter Sixteen: Strange Wu Jian
“Yueyin is Father’s spirit cultivator, the one who always protected him and taught him how to cultivate,” Wu Tian explained firmly, his voice echoing in the tense chamber. “Spirit cultivator?” Wu Cao repeated, bewildered. His brows knitted together as he tried to process the words. “I’ve never heard of such a thing.” Wu Tian’s gaze hardened. “That’s because spirit cultivators are never spoken of. Cultivators are too arrogant to admit their strength comes from the guidance of spirits. They bury the truth beneath pride.” The air grew heavy, the silence broken only by the faint rustle of curtains stirred by the evening wind. Yueyin’s eyes softened as she turned toward Wu Jian. Her tone was gentle, almost tender, so different from the sharp defiance she had shown in the Forbidden Forest. “Wu Jian… you look older,” she said softly, her voice carrying a note of sorrow. Wu Jian’s shoulders sagged, his stern face shadowed by regret. “I am sorry, Yueyin. I never meant to cast you asi
Chapter Fifteen: Who Is Yueyin
“How is she, Uncle Cao? Is Yueyin going to be alright?” Wu Tian’s voice trembled as he finally reached the back veranda of the Wu family’s grand residence, where his uncle stood waiting. Wu Cao’s brows furrowed, his gaze shifting from his nephew’s anxious face to the pale figure resting nearby. “Who is this girl, Tian’er? And tell me honestly—are you planning to return to this house?” Wu Tian shook his head firmly, his eyes burning with urgency. “No, Uncle. I have matters far more important than returning here. Yueyin… she is my companion, the one who saved me when I was gravely wounded by Zhou Chen’s attack.” Wu Cao’s expression hardened with disbelief. “You were injured? Zhou Chen’s strikes should not have been so dangerous.” Wu Tian’s voice rose, desperate. “Zhou Chen has been studying dark cultivation, Uncle! Before coming here, Yueyin and I followed him to the outskirts of the city. We saw it with our own eyes—a shadowed figure appeared to meet him, and the aura was so su
Chapter Fourteen: Demon Child Zhou
Wu Tian flinched violently when a hand landed on his shoulder. His heart leapt into his throat, and he spun around, eyes wide. “Yueyin! What was that for? You nearly scared me to death!” he hissed, his voice louder than he intended. “Shhh…” Yueyin pressed a finger to her lips, her eyes sharp with warning. She tugged at his sleeve, pulling him back into the shadow of the trees. The dense foliage swallowed them, the scent of damp bark and crushed leaves filling the air. Just beyond, Zhou Chen paused mid-step. The boy’s head jerked toward the sound, his gaze sweeping the path. His eyes darted left and right, searching for the source of the disturbance. But the forest revealed nothing. Wu Tian peered through the branches, his breath caught in his chest. Zhou Chen’s face was pale, drained of its usual arrogance. The swagger that had once defined him was gone, replaced by a nervous tension that made his shoulders stiff and his movements jerky. “What’s wrong with that demon child?”
Chapter Thirteen: City of Cultivators
“We’ve arrived, Yueyin,” Wu Tian announced as their steps carried them to the outskirts of Hu Nan. “That was fast!” Yueyin exclaimed, her voice tinged with surprise. Wu Tian gave a small nod. The journey had indeed been brief; the Forbidden Forest lay close to Hu Nan’s borders, and the road was far less arduous than the winding path toward Lan Tzi Village. Though their true destination lay elsewhere, Yueyin had agreed to Wu Tian’s wish to visit the city first, hoping it would ease the burden on his heart and allow him to travel without the weight of unspoken fears. Yet Wu Tian could not help but notice the radiance on Yueyin’s face as she gazed at the city shimmering in the distance. Her eyes sparkled with wonder, her lips curved in delight. It puzzled him—only hours earlier she had insisted they should never return here. “You’ve never been to Hu Nan before?” Wu Tian finally asked, curiosity breaking through his silence. “I have,” Yueyin replied quickly, “but that was long a
Chapter Twelve: Journey
“Will you travel in your current form, Yueyin, or shrink yourself into a smaller shape?” Wu Tian asked as they prepared to depart for Lan Tzi Village. His voice carried a spark of excitement, his eyes bright with anticipation. Ever since Yueyin had confirmed the existence of other spirit cultivators, a new fire had ignited within him. Yueyin hesitated, her expression thoughtful. “Hufh… I’m not sure. What do you think, Wu Tian?” Her gaze met his, steady and searching. For a moment, Wu Tian faltered, caught off guard by the intensity of her eyes. Then he laughed lightly, shrugging. “It’s up to you, Yueyin. I’ll accept whatever form you choose.” Yueyin straightened, her voice firm with conviction. “I want to walk across the lands of Han with my own feet. I’ll remain in my forest-spirit form, just as I am now.” Wu Tian grinned, unable to contain his joy. “Perfect! That means I’ll have a beautiful companion by my side throughout the journey!” Without realizing it, he pulled Yueyin
Chapter Eleven: Legendary Relic
What had moments ago felt like triumph now spiraled into terror. Wu Tian’s breath grew shallow, his body slackening as consciousness slipped away. The faint glow of qi that had filled him only heartbeats earlier was gone, leaving him pale and lifeless. “Wu Tian! Wake up! Please, don’t die!” Yueyin’s voice cracked with panic. She knelt beside him, her hands trembling as she tried to channel more qi into his failing body. But the energy she poured into him dissipated uselessly, vanishing as though swallowed by some unseen void. His face was ghostly white, lips drained of color, and his chest rose only faintly. The sight struck fear into Yueyin’s heart. What is happening? she thought frantically. I did everything right. My qi should have healed him, not destroyed him. Why is his body rejecting it? Her mind raced, searching for an answer. Then, like a spark in the darkness, realization struck. “The relic!” she gasped aloud. “How could I forget the relic that heals all things?”
