The Legend of Zhi Long

15. Zhi Long the Accused

At Xinghou College, Elder Ye's Residence.

Seen Elder Ye who kept pacing back and forth with worry, clearly he had told Zu Bing to hunt at the foot of Tinghua mountain.

After Zu Bing broke through the Tier 5 Middle Airplane early, he had Elder Ye train by hunting at the foot of Tinghua Mountain. But to this day he has not come, it has been two days that he left.

Elder Ye knew the prowess of his student, so he was not worried at first. But the disciple did not come until these two days, that was the reason Elder Ye was so worried about Zu Bing.

"Why didn't he come here? Has he gone home? He doesn't usually come out until a day or so, this is the first time. I'm really worried...". Elder Ye explained that this was the first time, Zu Bing came out to hunt on Mount Tinghua, even though at the foot of the mountain alone but it was far from safe.

"Old man, you called me?". Appearing the figure of a man in his 30s coming up with a sudden arrival, he was the subordinate of Elder Ye who was in charge of monitoring the conditions in Xinghou College.

"Jun, you go to the foot of Tinghua Mountain. Search all over there, find Bing'er see you! Who knows if he's in trouble, I'm so worried". Elder Ye had the 30-year-old man named Jun.

"Okay, Elders, I'll come there now. I'll step down first". Jun understood Elder Ye's worries, he loved his disciple very much.

Jun quickly disappeared from Elder Ye's sight, he headed swiftly towards the foot of Tinghua Mountain.

He started looking for her around there, after finding no satisfactory results he decided to venture into the Demon Forest.

Inside the Demon Forest itself the atmosphere was very quiet, but a lot of pressure was directed at him.

"I had to quickly find him, maybe he was hiding somewhere for some reason". Jun quickly ran over, tracing the area of the Demon Forest. He looked at all the corners of the Forest, but there was nothing.

After noon, Jun finally rested in a Water Source containing medicinal herbs, he drank the water because it refreshed his body.

"Haaaah..... After a long while I went around running fast, I was finally able to drink as well. I'm so thirsty and tired, I'd better continue the afternoon after a short rest". Jun who had been going around tracing the area of the Demon Forest started to feel exhausted, so he rested quietly in a Lake whose water was calm and clean.

Jun rested in silence, until there was someone walking down Tinghua Mountain in an area not far from him. Jun who heard footsteps, immediately headed in that direction.

It was clearly seen that there were 3 people and 1 animal perched on one of them, but Jun noticed that there was an awkwardness in the group.

He looked at Zu Bing who was carried by one of them, and he was also bleeding on his shirt.

"You guys, stop!!". Jun exclaimed by approaching him while walking.

The three people paused for a moment and looked towards Jun, "What are you guys doing here?". Jun asked them.

"Senior, we're hunting". Reply to one of those with a handsome face.

"Hunting?? With Middle Level 2 intermediate and Middle Level 3 early Aircraft? It's in the Demon Forest, you guys don't joke!". Jun replied with a slightly pressing tone.

"Senior, we originally intended to hunt. But here are many Demons and Demons that are terrifying and extremely powerful, so we undo that intention and return to Xinghou College". The man with the handsome face looked to be making an excuse that was not suspected by the person before him.

"In that case, why would Zu Bing be with you?". Jun asked as his eyes and hands pointed towards the girl who was carried by the man with the handsome face.

"Senior, don't get me wrong. Earlier, I found him lying on the ground with severe injuries. Senior can ask him". The man with the handsome face replied lightly, "Hey, get up! Someone's looking for you". The man with a handsome face woke up the beautiful girl he was carrying.

They were none other than Zhi Long, Shi Liang, Zu Bing and the Black One.

Previously, they had stayed in the Demon Forest one day. Last night, Zu Bing was taken by Zhi Long to his resting place with Shi Liang.

After that, they had dinner with pleasure. Finished eating, Zu Bing introduced herself and her reason for coming to Mount Tinghua.

Zu Bing explained, that he had just broken through to the early Level 5 Middle Plane and was cultivating at the foot of Tinghua Mountain to stabilize his Inner Power.

Then he hunted around the foot of Tinghua Mountain according to the direction of his teacher, Elder Ye, unfortunately he met the Winged Lion and he was chased and cornered in the area that Zhi Long yesterday found him.

Back to the present state.

"Senior Jun, why are you here?". Zu Bing opened his eyes and saw Senior Jun in front of him, he was very worried.

"Basic Stupid! I'm here to pick you up, why did you even get to this area?". Senior Jun asked with a sincere feeling in his heart, to him Elder Ye's disciple was his Brother.

Zu Bing explained yesterday's incident to Senior Jun, he deeply regretted worrying about Senior and his Master.

"Well, next time you want to hunt tell your friends to hunt with you, don't be alone like this anymore!". Out of worry, Senior Jun scolded Zu Bing.

Zu Bing was just complaining, lowering his head. "I'm sorry, Senior". Zu Bing felt guilty, he apologized to his Senior.

"That's it, because I've found you now. Let's go home to Elder Ye's residence, he's very worried about you". Senior Jun was unwilling to add the burden of trouble to Zu Bing because he was his Junior, so he told him to return to the Old Ye Residence.

"And to you, thank you for saving my Junior. If you don't have a problem, you can come with us, get there". Senior Jun glanced at Zhi Long and said like that, he also offered to his go to Elder Ye's residence.

Not for what reason, Senior Jun offered something like that. But he was also worried about the two strangers who had saved his Junior's life, so he offered that.

"Alright if Senior doesn't mind, I also want to know Elder Ye who is said to be a great Elder". Zhi Long said curiously.

Not only in Xinghou College was Elder Ye famous, but also in the entire Kongzu City he was extremely famous. He is known as the Swordsman of the Painted God, he applies Magic in his interesting and beautiful paintings.

"The two will be very grateful to you, young man, if I may know what your name is?". Senior Jun asked Zhi Long and Shi Liang.

"Senior, my name is Zhi Long and this is my brother Shi Liang. The one perched on Shi Liang's shoulders was the Black One". Zhi Long replied by introducing himself and the others.

"Okay Senior, I'll obey". Answer Zu Bing.

"Senior, what do you mean by the Xinghou College Semester Final Examination?". Zhi Long who didn't know anything from Xinghou College asked Senior Jun, he had been at Tinghua Mountain Peak for about three months so he had no idea what was happening in the outside world.

"Ah yes, you've been here for a few months well so you don't know what's going on at Xinghou College right now". Senior Jun's reply started to make Zhi Long even more curious.

"Well shall I explain to you, the Xinghou College Semester Final Examination is an Exam that is often held every time before the graduation of the third student, The college announced that its enrolment would be held one week from now. The college also announced its cultivation restrictions, a minimum of an early Middle Level 1 Plane and a maximum of a late Level 5 Middle Plane. Why are you asking this? Are you also a third-year student like Zu Bing?". Senior Jun explained clearly to Zhi Long, he also asked the current state of Zhi Long.

"Senior, we are also third-year Xinghou College students". Zhi Long replied with his current state.

"That's it, if you want. You guys can learn some moves with Elder Ye, since you guys have helped Zu Bing Elder Ye's student". Senior Jun said to Zhi Long and Shi Liang with a friendly smile.

"That may be Senior too, but this brother he has an urgent need because we have not reported our situation to our family, so this brother is going home to report our good situation". Zhi Long said that Shi Liang would return home to report their situation.

"It's okay, you're the one who came to Elder Ye's residence" Senior Jun replied.

After saying that, Zhi Long gave Shi Liang permission to go home and tell his family that they were fine.

Shi Liang finally descended to the foot of Tinghua Mountain in a different direction to the four of them, Shi Liang told the Black One to guard Zhi Long.

Zhi Long, Zu Bing, Senior Jun and the Black One who flew behind Zhi Long finally arrived at Elder Ye's Residence. The residence of Elder Ye was very simple, seen outside the house there was a man who was about 40 years old was pacing back and forth with worry.

"Chairman, we're home". Senior Jun greeted Elder Ye politely.

Elder Ye who heard Jun's voice finally looked towards them, with a sense of fullness should he approach towards them.

"Bing'er, why don't you go home? And who's he holding you?". The worried elder Ye asked in relief, and looked at Zu Bing who was being carried by the man with a handsome face.

Zu Bing finally explained the incident yesterday with a sense of regret in his heart, his eyes looked glazed over having made his teacher worry badly.

"Thank God you're okay". Elder Ye patted Zu Bing's head slowly and gently, then turned to look towards Zhi Long and said "Son, what's your name?". Elder Ye asked Zhi Long in a loving tone.

"Elder, my name is Zhi Long and the one perched on Elder Ye's fence is my pet, he's named the Black One". Replied Zhi Long who introduced himself and the Black One.

"Alright then, Jun came here for a moment". Elder Ye called Jun and walked away from them.

"Jun, do you know exactly what their relationship is?". Elder Ye whispered to Jun.

Jun who heard that, immediately widened his eyes and said "Chairman, I don't know their relationship. But from what I see, they're probably close". Jun replied in a whisper back to Elder Ye.

Indeed, Zu Bing who was carried by Zhi Long behind his back, his face was very bright unlike usual. Her cheeks were also flushed, probably out of embarrassment.

But Zhi Long who was carrying him looked ordinary, he did not even glance at Zu Bing in the slightest.

"Elder, I think that Zu Bing likes it". Jun gave an opinion, from the one he saw while on their way down Mount Tinghua to Elder Ye's residence.

"That's it, so what should I do to thank the young man?". Ask Elder Ye again.

"Chairman, I'm sorry for taking a stand of my own. I was just about to thank him saying that, The Elder will teach him some moves. Because he was also a third student like Zu Bing, so he needed some mainstay moves if it was in a precarious state". Jun replied doubtfully.

"What's wrong Jun, what you said is correct. I'll probably recruit him to become the third student after you and Bing'er, you know that I never add new students". Elder Ye agreed to what Jun said.

That way, they finished discussing and returned to Zhi Long and Zu Bing. Currently Zhi Long was holding Zu Bing who was smiling looking at Zhi Long, his face was very red like a tomato.

"Alright, because you saved Bing'er. I will accept you as my disciple officially!" Finally Elder Ye made his decision.

"Sir, this is too much. I just saved him, there's nothing special about it!". Zhi Long replied in a doubtful tone.

"Bing'er, is it true what he said? And why do you always smile when carried by a stranger you just met his taste?". Elder Ye's words made Zhi Long look at him confusedly.

"Anu... Teacher..he's already seen it all". Said Zu Bing embarrassedly while lowering his head, his short reply made Elder Ye and Senior Jun glare at Zhi Long.

Zhi Long became misbehaved at the words Zu Bing said, he nervously and said, "Chairman... Seniors... You guys are wrong, I just undressed a little bit not all. And that's in the scar area, I said honestly!!". Zhi Long felt his emotions had been accused of indecent acts.

"Alright I trust you, therefore you should take care of Bing'er and take care of her until she recovers before the Xinghou College Semester Final Examination which will be held a week from now!!". Elder Ye paid no heed to the words Zhi Long said, he told Zhi Long to take care of Zu Bing, it was his responsibility according to Elder Ye.

"Yet.....!!". Zhi Long was wrathful and looking at Elder Ye with eyes full of sadness would misunderstand this.

"Haha..... Son, you are such an interesting young man!!". Elder Ye laughed as he looked at Zhi Long's childish manner.

Jun also looked at it happily, all this time Elder Ye had never laughed so happily. This was the first time he had seen that, Zu Bing also only smiled sweetly and her face grew even more flushed with embarrassment.
