"We continue the training tomorrow again" Shi's grandfather said without looking at Prince Zhan in the slightest.
"Alright cake" said Prince Zhan resigned.

Xuan Lan still had not found any clues on how to unseal the seal that was in her dantian. From yesterday he was waiting for directions but he never heard any sound the last time was when someone called his name but instead he slept and ignored him.
Xuan Lan looked lazily at the spot where she was standing. He chose to go around this whole place, maybe he could find something he could hint at. Xuan Lan stopped her footsteps as she was in front of a huge rock. He then sat on the stone with his lotus position, wanting to cultivate.
While cultivating he heard strange noises but he still ignored them. He chose to focus on his cultivation.
"Xuan Lan" sounded a whisper but Xuan Lan was still in her cultivation mode.
"Xuan Lan" he whispered again. The whisper was heard ten to fifteen times. Xuan Lan who was already lazy to hear the voice finally opened her eyes.
He saw a woman turning her body. Xuan Lan remained silent, she did not want to greet the girl but suddenly the girl turned around and faced Xuan Lan. Xuan Lan could not describe how this woman before him was. It looks very mysterious.
"You're Xuan Lan?" ask the woman.
"Yes" Xuan Lan replied flatly.
"What's your goal until you get into this place?" ask the woman again.
"I want to break through Swazi energy but I can't because there's still a star seal sealing my dantian" Xuan Lan said straightforwardly.
The woman smiled at his smile.
"I can help you but I have conditions" said the woman.
"What?" asked Xuan Lan briefly.
"You will do all the things I say without refuting a single bit" said the woman.
Now it was Xuan Lan's turn to display her sinister smile. He did not answer the woman's words. He chose to continue cultivating while closing his eyes.
"Hey, why didn't you answer?" ask the woman.
Xuan Lan still closed her eyes. He wanted to see the reaction of this woman before him.
"Cihh, how arrogant of you. As long as you know I can kill you right now" said the woman slightly shouting.
"Be quiet, I don't want to fight. I didn't accept your offer" Xuan Lan said still closing her eyes.
"You" the woman looks unacceptable. He pointed at Xuan Lan's face with his index finger.
"Can you go?" asked Xuan Lan.
"You kicked me out?" ask the woman a little.
"I didn't kick you out, I only asked you to leave because I wanted to focus on cultivating" Xuan Lan said. If you can be honest his mouth is very tired to argue and his body is reluctant to be invited to fight.
The woman had looked at Xuan Lan first. He ended up leaving without saying goodbye to Xuan Lan but Xuan Lan did not care what mattered was that the bully had already left.
"He thinks I want to be his slave" Xuan Lan muttered on the sidelines of his cultivation.
Xuan Lan continued cultivating until she heard another whisper.
"Xuan Lan"
"Xuan Lan"
Lazily Xuan Lan opened her eyes. He was surprised to see someone who looked like him. Is this person Xiao Lan?
"Xiao Lan?" asked Xuan Lan.
"I am Xuan Lan" Xuan Lan told the woman before him.
The woman then turned into a man that Xuan Lan deeply recognized and missed.
"Z-zhao?" asked Xuan Lan stammered.
"Yes, I am Zhao" he said with his trademark smile.
Xuan Lan closed her eyes. He knew this was just an illusion, the person before him was not the Zhao he missed.
"You're not Zhao!" said Xuan Lan while opening her eyes.
"I'm Zhao, don't you miss me?" ask her with her sad face.
Xuan Lan looked back at that face. If he could he would run and hug the person in front of him right now but he would not lose for now.
"Shut up! You're not Zhao you're just an illusion!" pekik Xuan Lan's.
"I'm Zhao all the time I've been here. I'm always waiting for you to come" said the man.
Xuan Lan raised her head. He looked into the eyes of the man in front of him. Then he walked closer to her. The person who called himself Zhao earlier spread out his hands. Xuan Lan was getting closer. Only a few more centimeters would Xuan Lan reach the hold of this man.
"Come here, Xuan Lan" he said again.
Xuan Lan smiled. He drew closer to himself and.

Xuan Lan stabbed the man before her with her beloved knife. I don't know when he took it.
"Xuan Lan you" he said as he touched the part of his stomach that was hit by Xuan Lan's knife.
"You're just an illusion and you're not my Zhao" Xuan Lan said then turned back to the stone where her cultivation had been. Slowly the person he stabbed just now disappeared into dust and flew over the clouds.
"What was that why they knew that I missed Zhao so much" Xuan Lan muttered.
"It's so weird that creatures are here. Yesterday the dwarf or maybe the goblin was there was a woman ah I can't explain it as well the person who claimed to be me and Zhao" Xuan Lan said in a monologue to herself.
"Zhao, I hope we can meet again" Xuan Lan said as she closed her eyes to return to cultivating.
Xuan Lan had already opened her eyes again after a long time she started cultivating both of them in this place. Then he looked around. His gaze was fixed on the fruits perched sweetly on the branches of trees around him. Then he took the fruits.
"I haven't eaten an apple in a long time" Xuan Lan said, then he ate the apple.
"It's a big deal" Xuan Lan said.
After eating, he turned to the river flowing to his right. He put his hand in there trying to hold as much water as he could. Then he drank the water. The water is cold and a little sweet.
"Then I can feel at home if I'm told to stay here forever but Zhan Gege will go crazy if I don't return soon" Xuan Lan said with a chuckle.
He then opened his hanfunya and went down to the river earlier to soak and clean his body.
"I've never felt soaking in water until this fresh" Xuan Lan murmured.
"Prophe Xuan Lan. Maybe a lot of things will wait for you in front of there so do not let your guard down and do not get tired. I must immediately find a clue in order to get out of here and meet Zhan Gege again and my family who are far away" Xuan Lan said.
