The Eternal Soaring Sword

Chapter 22 - Strange Tracking Methods

After returning to the room, Zhao Jiuge recalled what happened today and his mood became a little unstable. At the same time, he felt pressure. After a long time, he let out a long sigh and his eyes twinkled. The cultivation path was already difficult; if he could not even handle a small matter like the Xiao family, how could he cultivate in the future? He clenched his fists — nothing will stop him walking on the path of cultivation!

He would consolidate his cultivation tonight, and once he returned tomorrow, he would focus on cultivating!

Then he got into bed and sat down. After he slowly calmed his mood, he entered a state of cultivation. He then closed his eyes and the surroundings became silent. The spiritual energy in the world around him slowly became visible.

It appeared out of thin air and gently revolved around him before entering into his body. After entering his body, spiritual energy transformed into spirit power through his cultivation method. Spirit power flowed through his body and into his dantian. Inside the dantian, the smiling buddha was there with the golden dragon underneath. As soon as the spirit power started flowing in, the golden dragon gradually opened its eyes.

A joyful dragon roar resounded within his body, and it began to absorb spirit power. The golden dragon became brighter and its body grew bigger as it absorbed the spirit power.

Inside the room, Zhao Jiuge's breathing became stable and spiritual energy slowly moved in a repeated cycle. His cultivation level slowly increased.

The morning sunlight shone through the gaps in the windows and onto the young man who was cultivating. Thinking about how she had promised Mo Linger that she would go shopping with him, she felt helpless. He revealed a gentle smile and shook his head as he got off the bed. He slowly stretched his body.

Mo Linger's happy and crisp voice came from the door. "Sister Jiuge, are you awake?" Zhao Jiuge opened the door and saw Mo Linger's happy smile.

"Little girl, you're so early." Zhao Jiuge revealed a bitter smile and then his eyes sparkled. She looked at the little girl whose head was shorter than her wearing a pale yellow dress that exuded a lively and youthful aura.

The sun that had just risen illuminated the entire Mo mansion in the sunlight, and the two of them were in a good mood. They laughed and spoke as they left Mo's house, greeting some people from the Mo family on the way out. Some people curiously stared at them with strange gazes.

However, in the distance, Zheng Jie, who was on patrol, looked at Zhao Jiuge with a grim expression. He could not hide the jealousy in his eyes. Zheng Jie had always been an ambitious person and wanted to make a name for herself in the Mo family. In fact, he had done this, and he had enjoyed the resources of the Mo family to reach the final stage of the Blood Movement Realm. He also followed Mo Linger all day. However, after Zhao Jiuge arrived, everything changed. He secretly thought of something and seemed to make up his mind as he went to Mo Longje's room.

The people of Dong Yang City all woke up early, so the bustling atmosphere was already there. The brick road had pot holes everywhere, but it did not affect the flow of people in the city.

The two of them casually took a walk in Dong Yang city. Mo Lingers ran from stall to stall like happy little sparrows looking at the various decorative items they had. He seemed to have completely forgotten about Zhao Jiuge. Zhao Jiuge rolled his eyes and felt helpless. Then he saw his own clothes. This was the first time someone had made clothes for her. Thinking of this, Zhao Jiuge also began to carefully look around the stall. He was thinking about what reward to get Mo Linger.

Zhao Jiuge felt a headache coming. He had never been in a situation like this before, so he felt helpless.

“Eh, this is Linger's younger sister. I'm not expecting to meet you here, what a coincidence. ” Crisp sound resounded beside Mo Linger.

Mo Linger's delicate brows furrowed and he looked towards the direction of the voice. There was a group of people coming from the crowd, and in the middle was a well-dressed young man with a handsome face that was somewhat deathly pale. It was Xiong Yikang from the auction house.

At the same time, his eyes were filled with unseen passion and longing, as well as some hidden ill will.

After Mo Linger saw Xiong Yikang, she ignored him and turned towards Zhao Jiuge. Seeing Mo Linger leave, Xiong Yikang became a little anxious and quickly caught up with him. “Linger's sister, where are you going? I happen to have nothing to do and can accompany you. If anything you like, I'll give it to you.” Xiong Yikang looked at the girl in front of him. Even though she was a child, there was a certain charm to her. He involuntarily swallowed as he looked at the delicate face in front of him which caused his eyes to be filled with passion. He also wanted to hug the big tree that was the Mo family.

Then he took out a bracelet that was a magical treasure. The bracelet released a faint fluctuation of spirit power. “Oh, then, Little Sister Linger, please, but you must accept this bracelet.” Xiong Yikang believed that no one could resist an expensive jade bracelet like this. Women have no control over their vanity, and they always end up in the palm of her hand.

After he finished speaking, he tried his best to look humble, but he couldn't help but give off a hint of pride. He raised his head in a feeling of superiority and looked at Mo Linger without blinking.

Looking at Xiong Yikang's appearance, Mo Linger felt helpless and wanted to vomit. Just because he was young, it didn't mean he was stupid, not to mention that he had been educated by the Mo family since young. Feeling disgusted, he would reject Xiong Yikang when Zhao Jiuge stood in front of him.

“Young Master, my little sister doesn't need your stuff. If she wants something, as her elder brother, I will get it for her.” After he finished speaking, he grabbed Mo Linger's delicate hand and placed the extremely ordinary jade bracelet on his wrist.

Then she rubbed her hair and said, “If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me. I will always treat you like my own little sister.” His eyes were filled with the love a brother would have for his sister as he pulled her away.

Mo Linger was initially very happy when he saw that Zhao Jiuge had brought him a gift, and a wide smile appeared on his face. Then he heard Zhao Jiuge's words and inevitably became disappointed. She muttered to herself sadly, "Just like a little sister?"

"Stop. I wonder who that is. It turned out that it was a wild child that the Xiao.” family would face When Xiong Yikang saw this young man suddenly pull Mo Linger's hand, his eyes almost gave off fire. “What quality do you have? You may not even live until next month. ” Then he arrogantly sized up Zhao Jiuge.

Zhao Jiuge did not go far when he heard Xiong Yikang's words, and was even too lazy to answer when he heard the second half. He stopped and turned around. "If you stay one more thing, I'll make you back home lying in front of everyone here, and you'll see what I'm made of." His words were still calm and contained no emotions.

Xiong Yikang's actions stiffened after hearing Zhao Jiuge's calm words and seeing her cold face. Just as he was about to continue speaking, he felt spirit power surging from Zhao Jiuge. Xiong Yikang suddenly covered his mouth and his eyes were filled with shock as he looked into Zhao Jiuge's eyes, which were now filled with killing intent. At this moment, Xiong Yikang had no doubt that if he dared to speak more, Zhao Jiuge would actually deal with him.

The guards around him felt the pressure and all took a few steps back. Xiong Yikang felt impressed and also scolded these useless people in his heart. He could not help but feel angry as the sounds of ridicule and people talking about it echoed. His handsome face looked even paler, and he blamed all of this on Zhao Jiuge.

The stalemate lasted for a few seconds, and after seeing Xiong Yikang remain silent, Zhao Jiuge felt bored. He pulled Mo Linger and left.

After Zhao Jiuge and Mo Lingers were some distance away, Xiong Yikang continued to stare grimly at them. When he realized that there were still people around, he pretended to look ferocious and loudly said, “Hmph, you are just a wild child. Next month, the Xiao family will deal with you!"

On the way back, Zhao Jiuge continued to educate Mo Linger not to associate himself with such people, and Mo Linger only obediently nodded. Zhao Jiuge seriously said, “Remember, from now on, you are my little sister. No matter who bullies you, I will defend you.” 

After hearing Zhao Jiuge stressing the words "sister girl", he pouted and started muttering something sadly, but in his heart, he felt like he had eaten honey. As Zhao Jiuge walked over, he silently smiled.

Turning around the corner, Zhao Jiuge suddenly turned around with a doubt in his eyes, very alert. However, he found nothing. "What's up, Brother Jiuge?" Mo Linger asked after seeing Zhao Jiuge's strange movements.

“When we came out, I felt like someone was following me, but then I thought I was wrong. However, just now, I felt something just to turn around and see nothing.” He shook his head in confusion and no longer thought about it as he brought Mo Linger back to Mo's house. He could only assume that it was the Xiao family or that playboy, Xiong Yikang, who sent someone to follow him.

However, after the two of them left, a beautiful young girl came out from a stall. He stared at the corner where Zhao Jiuge disappeared for a long time but did not follow him.
