Two more weeks past since the hunt of the man who escaped. Meiying and Hua Maoli have been searching for this man in town whereas Li Dan E and Tang Kei Yong were searching the area around the town.
The reason Li Dan E has gone was that she knew a lot about the Unknown forest since she had to always be looking for herbs in the forest with her students back in the Wang Empire.
They have found no trace of him.
"How hard is it to find one person?" said Li Dan E.
"Well…" said Tang Kei Yong. "Since it's been a month already... it seems pretty hard."
"Shut up," said Lin Dan E, punching lightly on his shoulder. "I was just complaining, you didn't need to say that!"
They walked back to the Hua Residence. Meiying and Huan Maoli was already back, standing in front of the entrance to the courtyard.
"Meiying… I want to ask you something…" said Hua Maoli.
"Quick, hide!" whispered Li Dan E. She dragged Tang Kei Yong beck to the trees to eavesdrop on them.
"What was that for?!" he said only to be shushed.
"I think Maoli is confessing!" she whispered.
"Now?!" he said.
"Shhh!" said Lin Dan E.
Li Dan E knew right away he thought Meiying when she first visited the crew in Feng City. She was surprised since the Hua family has such a high status. But they are known for not judging a book by its cover, hence why they are so powerful.
Except for their daughter, Hua Shu Lan, which is why Hua Mulan is having a hard time.
They peaked behind a tree to watch Hua Maoli and Meiying.
"Well…" said Hua Maoli. He stopped talking, trying to prepare himself. He moved his hand to the back of his neck, trying to work out his feelings.
"What is it?" asked Meiying. She is clueless to the advances Hua Maoli has done in the past few months so he thought maybe telling her would make her start to realize. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
"I… I like you," Hua Maoli said.
Meiying was confused. She looked at him with one brow raised and said back, "I like you too."
But with her expression, she doesn't know the meaning behind Hua Maoli's words. So Hua Maoli took in another breath and said, "No, I like you in a romantic way."
Meiying was surprised.
"I liked you for a long time now… I wanted you to know that," he said.
"I…," said Meiying, and then she went quiet. She didn't know how to respond.
"It's fine, you don't have to answer me now… I just… wanted you to know," he said.
They stood there in silence for a few seconds before Hua Maoli said, "I'm… heading inside…"
He opened the gate and entered the courthouse. Li Dan E was so excited but she also respects her dear friend's feelings so she won't bug her about it.
"Oh my god!!" squealed Li Dan E.
"I can't believe he did it...," said Tang Kei Yong.
He then looked at Li Dan E. He went quiet thinking maybe he should do the same. He's loved her since they were children and mourn for her death only to find out 7 years later that she is alive.
"Kei Yong?" said Li Dan E, tapping on his shoulder. He flinched and looked at her.
He went quiet and Li Dan E looked over to see him thinking hard about something. She called his name already but he didn't answer.
"You good?" she asked.
"Yeah… let's go inside," said Tang Kei Yong. Meiying has already left to go inside.
They walked to the entrance and went inside the mansion. Then the bush behind them rustled and crawled Hua Shu Lan, angry.
"Dammit," she said. She wiped the dirt off her clothes.
She's been waiting there before Li Dan E and Tang Kei Yong even arrived. She is sneaking out from her studies to go hang out with a bunch of friends, after all, she's still a 17-year-old girl wanting to have fun.
The moment she left the house, she heard her brother's voice, freaking her out and hid in a bush. She knew if she made a move, she would be heard by him so she had to stay still and be out of his view.
She was almost busted because of Lin Dan E and Tang Kei Yong's curiosity, hiding close to her.
"Phew! Now time to play," she said.
------
Lin Yu Yan and Han Bingwen were waiting for Chen Xing-Fu at the same restaurant where they had delicious Sashimi. Lin Yu Yan started walking around in circles because Chen Xing-fu is late.
"Do you think something happened to him?" she asked Han Bingwen.
"Well… knowing him, he wouldn't be late except if something happened to his mother," said Han BIngwen.
"Let's go look for him," Lin Yu Yan said.
They first walk towards Chen Xing-Fu's house since there is a better chance to find him this way. Because the town is quite open but there are still many people who come and go throughout the town, Lin Yu Yan cannot pinpoint his location.
The closer she walked over to his home, the more worried Lin Yu Yan got. She asked some people around the area if they have seen them and the response was all no.
"Sh!t… somethings not right," said Lin Yu Yan.
She kept walking and then felt something invincible touch her.
'A… barrier? It wasn't here before,' she thought. She gave Han Bingwen a glace and he looked her way too.
'But... it's a little different than a normal barrier...'
They soon stopped at Chen Xing-Fu's house. Sure enough, there are two presence detected inside. Chen Xing-Fu has asked Lin Yu Yan and Han Bingwen to not worry about his mother's health but it was a little suspicious.
Then someone shouted from inside.
"You useless child! You were late coming home last night, I went to bed hungry!" said a woman's voice followed by a loud smack.
Lin Yu Yan walked up to the door but hesitated to go inside because of Chen Xing-Fu.
"I'm sorry, mother," said a quiet voice.
Lin Yu Yan heard his cry and quickly open the door to see a woman beating up Chen Xing-Fu. Lin Yu Yan pushed the woman off of him and Han Bingwen stood by him to see if he was alright.
"Who the f*ck are you!" said the lady. She was a middle-aged woman but because of something, her skin has become wrinkly and dry. She was maybe around 40-45 years old.
"Get away from him!" yelled in Lin Yu Yan.
"Sister Yu Yan, Brother Bingwen," said Chen Xing-Fu, spitting out blood.
Lin Yu Yan looked at him and then looked at his mother. His mother looked perfectly fine. Lin Yu Yan even made sure to check her qi and it seemed fine. She then looked into her features and it reminded her of something. Her eyes ver a creamy yellow from the usual white, her pupils are dilated despite it being the middle of the day.
"Drugs…," she said quietly.
"So you're the little shit, giving him money! Hahaha! I see! You better move out of my way! He is my son, my property! I brought him into this world, I can take him out!" said the woman.
"No!" said Lin Yu Yan.
"Well... I guess I have to take you down!" she said.
Suddenly, the air changed. Lin Yu Yan actually got a little scared.
"No! Mother, don't hurt her!" said Chen Xing-Fu.
Even Han Bingwen was startled by the power the woman had.
"Ah... I remember now... they used to be one of the top 10 strongest clans in the world... But they lost to the Yin clan...," said Han Bingwen.
"Don't f*cken mention that name. They ruined my life!" she said.
Already angry, she started attacking Lin Yu Yan.
'She's unbelievably fast for someone her age!" thought Lin Yu Yan. She was able to dodge it but it threw her off how powerful she is.
"Haha! You remind me of someone back in the old days. I could never defeat her but I guess I can take it on you!"
Lin Yu Yan's eyes widen. 'She's talking about my mother!'
But the longer she fought with her, the stronger the woman got. Her body was slowing changing color and her hands and nails became longer.
"Berserker!" shouted Lin Yu Yan.
"Hahaha! It's been a while since I've had a proper fight! That stupid clan will never know the strength of that medicine! I will raise to the top again!" yelled the woman.
'I see... she thinks the drug is medicine to gain power... How did it spread when I stopped Min Fu-Han? Unless she got it before I defeated him,' she thought.
Then Lin Yu Yan started attacking back. The woman was surprised she was able to land a few blows on her. But When Lin Yu Yan landed those punches and kicks, it didn't even affect her. Her body was hard as metal.
"Haha! A 2-star Martial Supreme!" said the woman.
"Yu Yan, get away from her!" said Han Bingwen.
"I know!" Lin Yu Yan said. 'It's not safe. She's a 5-star Martial Supreme.'
She's in the same rank as Han Bingwen. The issue is, she has more experienced than the Han Bingwen and Lin Yu Yan. They both may be strong but with an opponent that has live longer than the two and has gone through all sorts of fights and wars, there is a high chance of losing.
Lin Yu Yan is many times faster than her so she was able to dodge most of the attacks. But because the woman was able to predict where she was going to move next, she landed a heavy punch on Lin Yu Yan's arm, breaking it, and dislocating her shoulder.
"Sh!t," said Lin Yu Yan, grabbing on to her arm. 'That punch is powerful!'
"Stop! Mother please!" begged Chen Xing-Fu.
"Shut up! Someone weak as you should shut up and die!" she moved and appeared in front of Han Bingwen and Chen Xing-Fu as Lin Yu Yan was busy putting her shoulder back.
Before she could land a hit, Han Bingwen stopped her.
"I see... You're as strong as me...," she said. "But from the look of your face, you have never fought someone like me."
The woman smiled, throwing another punch and dust particles fly around them making it hard to see.
Han Bingwen carried Chen Xing-Fu out of there, dodging the attack only to see his mother appear in front of him.
She was already on to the next attack. Han Bingwen couldn't react fast enough so he turned his back to her to protect Chen Xing-Fu.
She sent him flying. He rolled away, covering Chen Xing-Fu from getting hurt from their surroundings. Han Bingwen was cut up and his back as in pain. If it wasn't for the training he has done his whole life, his back would have broken, being crippled for life.
"Brother Bingwen!" said Chen Xing-Fu. "Sister Yu Yan!"
Han Bingwen coughed up lots of blood, breathing hard. Chen Xing-Fu is crying.
"Now... Give me the boy," she said. She stood in front of the two. The air moved due to the overwhelming pressure of her qi.
Han Bingwen is still using his body to protect Chen Xing-Fu from getting hurt.
'Damn it... I'm going to lose...' thought Han Bingwen. He wasn't able to fight to the fullest because Chen Xing-Fu will be in danger if he leaves his side.
Then the woman grabbed Han Bingwen by the collar since he won't move out of the way.
"That's too bad. Such a young strong man like you had to die this way," she said. Her eyes were clouded with rage but her smile sent chills down his spine.
She lifted up her fist, ready to punch Han Bingwen's face when she felt something behind her.
Before she could even turn around, Lin Yu Yan landed the hardest chop with her unbroken hand to the side of the neck. Before the woman passed out, she was able to see the glowing red eyes of the girl, reminding her of the undefeated woman she had conflicts within her past and was able to say out loud, "Blood clan..."
Lin Yu Yan stood there in the dusty morning, eyes red as blood, breathing hard as the woman fell unconscious.
"Let's go before she wakes up," she said.

Lin Yu Yan is many times faster than her so she was able to dodge most of the attacks. But because the woman was able to predict where she was going to move next, she landed a heavy punch on Lin Yu Yan's arm, breaking it, and dislocating her shoulder. "Sh!t," said Lin Yu Yan, grabbing on to her arm. 'That punch is powerful!' "Stop! Mother please!" begged Chen Xing-Fu. "Shut up! Someone weak as you should shut up and die!" she moved and appeared in front of Han Bingwen and Chen Xing-Fu as Lin Yu Yan was busy putting her shoulder back. Before she could land a hit, Han Bingwen stopped her. "I see... You're as strong as me...," she said. "But from the look of your face, you have never fought someone like me." The woman smiled, throwing another punch and dust particles fly around them making it hard to see. Han Bingwen carried Chen Xing-Fu out of there, dodging the attack only to see his mother appear in front of him. She was already on to the next attack. Han Bingwen couldn't react fast enough so he turned his back to her to protect Chen Xing-Fu. She sent him flying. He rolled away, covering Chen Xing-Fu from getting hurt from their surroundings. Han Bingwen was cut up and his back as in pain. If it wasn't for the training he has done his whole life, his back would have broken, being crippled for life. "Brother Bingwen!" said Chen Xing-Fu. "Sister Yu Yan!" Han Bingwen coughed up lots of blood, breathing hard. Chen Xing-Fu is crying. "Now... Give me the boy," she said. She stood in front of the two. The air moved due to the overwhelming pressure of her qi. Han Bingwen is still using his body to protect Chen Xing-Fu from getting hurt. 'Damn it... I'm going to lose...' thought Han Bingwen. He wasn't able to fight to the fullest because Chen Xing-Fu will be in danger if he leaves his side. Then the woman grabbed Han Bingwen by the collar since he won't move out of the way. "That's too bad. Such a young strong man like you had to die this way," she said. Her eyes were clouded with rage but her smile sent chills down his spine. She lifted up her fist, ready to punch Han Bingwen's face when she felt something behind her. Before she could even turn around, Lin Yu Yan landed the hardest chop with her unbroken hand to the side of the neck. Before the woman passed out, she was able to see the glowing red eyes of the girl, reminding her of the undefeated woman she had conflicts within her past and was able to say out loud, "Blood clan..." Lin Yu Yan stood there in the dusty morning, eyes red as blood, breathing hard as the woman fell unconscious. "Let's go before she wakes up," she said.
