Son, where is your Mother?

Chapter 1: Longing For You

"Hey, did you hear Zewu-Jun finally announced of secluding himself for repenting his gravely sin killing the two-faced Lianfang-Zun!"

"Oh, what a scandal news! That son of prostitute really tainted his own fate by harboring evil deeds! Such a thing! Such a thing! Pitiful!"

"Who's pitiful? I think it's the Yunmeng Jiang Sect Leader! Everyone finally has knowledge his golden core are not his!
Isn't that more pitiful than that sly fox, knowing his Dashixiong golden core is inside of him. Our one and only great  renowned Sandu Cheng cried and lost his composure!"

"Really! Did he shed tears in front of that Yiling Patriarch! What a pity, he is still nothing without that demonic cultivator! If not for his golden core, Jiang Cheng is nothing!"

A certain black haired, white-ribbon forehead owner, youngster cultivator twitched in of what he heard. His eyes are keep twitching every seconds, his lips are keep biting every words those men around him talking about. How dared them to utter such a nonsense! They can gossips anything for all his care but it's another story if that lotus pier master is their topic. He wouldn't let anyone to speak ill about of Leader Jiang, he respects the man more than anyone in his life.

He is ready to join the conversation of old men when his well mannered best friend lightly tapped his shoulders. It stopped him. He gave him an empty glare that other didn't mind. And fully knows his unruly attitude.

"Jingyi don't mind them."

"Sizhui! I cannot do that, the old men are bad-mouthing Sect Leader Jiang, he deserved more than putting salt to his wounds, such trash talking behind his back are disrespectful. They're do not have any conscience at all!" Lan Jingyi snapped.

"I know what you feel,"Lan Sizhui felt bad also, but one must be calmed and keep the silence for unwanted fight. It is unnecessary to start someone's fire for a person you had no relation with. However, Lan Jingyi has his thoughts needed to voice out, he cannot bear to keep his silence even like this.

If someone's will ask him why, he will only shake his head and laughed it as it is not matters at all.

"No! They will continue to speak such nonsense to Sect Leader Jiang!"

"Jingyi, "His bestfriend sighed, " Let's go, it is time for us to go to the Dafan Mountain. Sect Leader Jin are waiting for us."

Lan Jingyi huffed,  crossed arms and bit his lower lip in frustration. "Why do we need to accompany Mistress Jin! He has his hundreds disciples to be with and wealth for buying Deity binding net!"

"Jingyi, your words." Lan Sizhui tried to heed a glare towards his bestfriend and then he sighed again. He stared at the sulking figure walking beside him as they go out from the tavern, he do wonder why Lan Jingyi seemingly has no liking at former young master Jin  which is now a Sect Leader of Lanling Jin Sect. They didn't' have big fight at all in these past few months, yet he'd  noticed the other has this dislike for Jin Rulan.

Lan Jingyi ignored his companion as he let out his flying swords and starts to ascend without uttering words. It's too sudden that Lan Sizhui don't have time for any reactions before he knew it, he already followed. They travelled in awkward silence, the other is keep glancing back and forth for his friend while the receiving end seemed lost in thought. It took thirty minutes before they arrived at their destination.

"Greetings, Sect Leader Jin. We came here to join you in your night hunt behalf of Zewu-Jun's and Hanguang-Jun's ." Lan Sizhui was the first one to show his gesture. Jin Ling looked for a moment then after realisation hit him he quickly replied back. It seemed the symbol of peony are not in his one of good moods and everyone can tell it. Ah, what might be the matter?
