The Way of The Dao

Ling Tian raised his eyebrows as he found a great beauty at his side.

Long Yuyin was almost behind him, clutching the sleeve of his robe tightly with her slender fingers, the nervousness and excitement clearly reflected in her beautiful face.

The men passing by stopped as they saw the smile and shyness on a beautiful woman, and moreover, one of the great beauties of the star city; the Goddess Long. Above all, the men who were chasing and in love with the goddess Long Yuyin.

Then they turned to see Ling Tian with murderous looks. If looks could kill, Ling Tian would be dead more than a thousand times over.

Ling Tian smiled ironically at the looks he received from all sides.

Beauty will always attract attention whether it is good or bad... more so, if there is a handsome young man and a beautiful woman...

With no choice but to see what she wanted, Ling Tian decided to ask her. Because he was too focused on checking his Dantian and wasn't paying attention to his surroundings, he was easily caught by her.

"Do you need anything?" Ling Tian asked, unperturbed by the murderous looks he received from all the men around him.

"B-Big brother... I-I..." Long Yuyin hesitated to speak to Ling Tian.

Yes...

What did she want from him?

She was excited and happy to see this powerful young man again, so when she went for a walk downtown, she found him. Although he had cut his long hair unlike the first time he saved her, she still recognized him. Without a moment's hesitation, she went after him and grabbed the sleeve of his robe for fear that he would run away and never find him again...

But now that he was in front of her... What was she going to say?

She was really happy to see that Ling Tian was still here, but now she didn't know what to say.

"If you have nothing to say to me, I'll leave. I have other business to do..."

Long Yuyin came out of her thoughts when she heard Ling Tian's voice. Quickly, she tried to say something with her rigid behavior: "Big brother... could you teach me to be strong like you?!"

Long Yuyin hurriedly said what she felt. Seeing this big brother easily kill this demon beast and be stronger than her father, her fighting spirit was shining and she wanted to become stronger like him.

Eh?

Ling Tian showed an expression of not knowing if to laugh or cry when he heard Long Yuyin's request

Teach her?

Seeing that Ling Tian had not responded, Long Yuyin thought he did not want to or did not hear it correctly, so she spoke more clearly again, but this time, with a different meaning.

"Please be my Master!"

Long Yuyin looked directly at Ling Tian; a great expectation and hope could be seen clearly in her beautiful eyes. Her body was tense.

Huh?

Ling Tian was dazed. He did not think that this beautiful woman would seek him out to be her Master and teach her to be stronger...

Ling Tian denied with his head: "Lady Long, I'm not really that strong, maybe just a little more than your father, but it doesn't change much. If you ask your father to train you, I'm sure that in time you will become stronger, even more so than your own father..."

Ling Tian refused because he wanted to avoid more trouble. Although helping a great beauty is a delight in the eyes of men, he still had some rationality in dealing with such matters. He knew that, if he accepted this, he would definitely have to see the lord of the city. He knew that they would do everything possible for him to stay in Star City and defend it from the demonic beasts. He knew he wouldn't stay here long...

Long Yuyin frowned at being called lady, that direction felt strange, but she did not take much attention. For now, her mind was focused on the answer he had given her.

Did he refuse?

Long Yuyin felt a little sad and disappointed, but quickly, she tried to convince Ling Tian again.

"B-but... my father says he's not as strong as you!" Long Yuyin clutched her fingers even tighter to his robe, fearing that Ling Tian would run and disappear.

Ling Tian smiled: "But normally Masters are older than one, are they not? How could I be your Master? We are the same age, it would seem that it is only child's play..." he tried to make several excuses.

Long Yuyin quickly shook her head: "No, no, that doesn't really matter. As long as one is stronger and more knowledgeable, one can teach others. Big brother has really mastered the way of martial arts and reached the divine level, the God rank! So there's nothing wrong with you teaching me to fight and be as strong as you!" She spoke fervently in remembering Ling Tian's actions and seeing that he really is very powerful.

Ling Tian breathed a sigh inside him as he observed the stubbornness of this girl.

Who said great beauties were just that? Great beauties?

Ling Tian looked around before turning to see her and then said, "Okay, calm down first... besides, would it be okay for you to hold me like this in front of all these people?"

Long Yuyin was startled and then turned to look around. Many people were around the two of them, watching what they were both doing; a crowd of people was nearby.

Long Yuyin quickly released Ling Tian's robe while a slight blush appeared on her cheeks. Despite being somewhat outgoing, being watched by so many people made her feel shy, especially since she was holding the clothes of a man with her hand.

Ling Tian smiled slightly as he watched her current behavior.

Ling Tian had an idea: "Lady Long, if you want me to teach you to be stronger, you will have to find me again. If you can't find me in 3 days from tomorrow, I won't be your Master!"

Ling Tian flashed a playful smile while he turned and blended into the crowd quickly.

Long Yuyin was perplexed by the change in situation;

If I find him, will he be my Master?

Do I only have three days?

She could not help but feel a joy in her heart when she looked at Ling Tian's back.

Smiling slyly, she quickly decided to follow him in secret. Perhaps then, she would find out where he was staying and she would find him easily later.

She quickly followed the path he had taken, leaving a group of men stunned by the beautiful smile of their Goddess Long Yuyin.

Soon, rumors began to circulate much faster than the sun was rising, within an hour, almost every young man in the Star City who was in love with the Goddess Yuyin knew it.

It seems that...

Their Goddess Yuyin had fallen in love with someone else!

But, that wasn't the worst thing, but...

She was following him!

All the men cursed the lucky man who made the Goddess Yuyin fall in love. They didn't want their goddess taken away from them!

Long Yuyin walked quickly, trying to retrace Ling Tian's steps, but she soon realized that he had disappeared completely, as if the earth had swallowed him up.

She stomped her foot on the ground as she pursed her thin cherry lips.

She decided that no matter what happened, she would have to find him.
