THE RISE OF THE DRAGON.

185. TRAILED.

Tan Xiao Jing left the Inn accompanied by her group as she headed for the Tan family compound.

“Why don't you just kick him out of the inn?” One of the young men asked, clearly upset by Ui Yong Jiang's behavior.

The other three nodded in agreement to his suggestion. Their brief encounter with Ui Yong Jiang, the,

made them have a bad impression of him because he couldn't even appreciate Tan Xiao Jing's kindness.

“Why should I kick him out, did he make a mistake by going to my inn?” Tan Xiao Jing asked indifferently.

“He can't even say thank you. I thought he was just a freelancer,” replied one of the women with a cold snort.

“I don't really care about that. Yap Peng Lien, ask someone to follow him, please,

I want to know where he lives in Ice City &, and if possible, everything you can know about Ui Yong Jiang,”

“Ya, Mistress,” With a bow, the young man named Yap Peng Lin left the group, heading to the right side of the complex.

Void had conveyed everything that had happened with Tan Xiao Jing and his group to Ui Yong Jiang ever since they left

Lodging, he even told her about everything they had talked about since Ui Yong Jiang had told her to report everything.

Ui Yong Jiang was still drinking the rest of his wine when he heard the Void report. He was not surprised by this because he already knew Tan Xiao Jing would definitely make

someone followed. The only thing he thought about was how he could use Sasha to find out about Jade Lin.

‘Should I ask him directly?’ He asked himself.

If Tan Xiao Jing was Jade lin's sister, which seemed very likely now, then she probably knew where she was.

There was also the possibility that he did not have a good relationship with Jade Lin because Ui Yong Jiang had never heard Jade lin talk about his brothers before.

He decided to see the results of the Void following him, if he had a bad relationship with Jade Lin, then,

he'll probably find out. The second option was to find someone who worked in the Tan family complex

to ask. This was all with the assumption that Void was unable to find anything from Tan Xiao Jing as she followed him.

Thirty minutes later.

Ui Yong Jiang stood up after finishing his drink, heading out of the Inn.

After he chatted with Tan Xiao Jing, he saw most of the people who were in the Inn at that moment all

looking at him strangely, especially a group of four people. He did not care about them and walked out of the inn.

As soon as he stepped out of the Inn, four men stood up and walked out as well.

When they came out, they looked in the direction that Ui Yong Jiang was facing, before heading in the same direction.

Of the four men, only one looked to be in his twenties, the other was around his mid and late thirties.

The man in his mid-twenties had a small scar under his left eye. His brown eyes glowed with

the flash was deadly, and his huge figure frightened most of the people who were blocking them as they walked.

Ui Yong Jiang was walking leisurely on a busy street, fully aware of the fact that these people were following him.

In fact, they were not the only ones following him, two more people followed him in the shadows.

‘Which is in the shadow for sure sent by Tan Xiao Jing, these people on the other hand may be his enemy.’ He thinks while walking.

Of the four men, two of them were at the Eighth stage of the Origin Plane, so Ui Yong Jiang had no plans to find out why

they're following. He could fight against one of them, but two were too many for him to handle.

He looked at a shop selling clothes, saw it attractively from the outside, he walked inside. The shop is not very big,

but it has all kinds of clothes. There were more than twelve rows in the store, each row filled with different types of clothing.

When Ui Yong Jiang entered, a neatly dressed young lady stepped forward to greet him with a friendly smile.

“Halo Sir, I am Bi Hwa, is there something special you are looking for?” asked Bi Hwa after bowing.

Ui Yong Jiang was a little surprised by his question, he rarely went shopping, especially in these kinds of shops.

Most of the time he went to buy clothes, he would only get them by the side of the road, or a small stall.

“Do you have anything for banquet clothes?” He quickly recovered before asking.

“Ya Sir, this way,” Bi Hwa shows one of the rows in those stores.

Ui Yong Jiang followed Bi Hwa to one of the lines, he looked at the clothes he suggested while telling him about the design

and who made it. Most of them were made in the Ice City, but some were brought from other cities.

When Ui Yong Jiang was in the store, he saw no one following him entering the store, but they all kept their spiritual senses locked onto him.

‘It looks like they can't make a fuss here,’ thought Ui Yong Jiang while chuckling.

From the looks of those people, he felt they would enter if this place was ordinary, he said,

but seeing how they waited outside, he knew this place was owned by an influential figure in the city.

Ui Yong Jiang curiously asked Bi Hwa about the store and found out that it was owned by a merchant organization. The discovery

to his surprise, he did not think there would be a merchant organization powerful enough to stop two Eighth stage Origin Plane Elementals.

He was still thinking about the merchant organization when Void suddenly spoke to him.

‘What’

“She's headed to a room,” reports Void.

‘Dan?’

‘This is the same room where Giok lin left his wooden object,’

‘Oh, follow him, maybe he knows something,’

‘I'm already in the room,’

Ui Yong Jiang felt somewhat relieved when he heard this. Assuming that Jade Lin and Tan Xiao Jing had a close relationship, then he did not mind taking

risking to contact her, however, she initially decided to risk sneaking into the complex.

Just when Ui Yong Jiang was looking at the blue shirt and pants that Bi Hwa showed him, he almost tripped when he heard the next thing that Void said.

‘She has undressed and headed to the bathtub now,’

‘Sial Void! Don't tell me that!’ Ui Yong Jiang shouted at him angrily.

‘But you said to report everything,’

“Is everything okay, Mister?” asked bi hwa when he saw Ui Yong Jiang almost fall.

“Yes, I will take this one, and the black one that you showed me earlier,” replied Ui Yong Jiang gently after calming himself down.

‘Void, don't ever tell me anything like that again, okay?’ He reprimands.

‘You know, get out of the bathroom,’

‘What if he uses a secret entrance?’

‘Good stay, but think about what you told me.’

Ui Yong Jiang continued to talk to Void while bi hwa packed the two clothes he wanted. There are a lot of people in the store,

so he planned to change clothes, and leave the place with one of the people here, hopefully, one group.

She paid for the outfit before going to one of the locker rooms in the store to wear one of her new clothes.

Ten minutes later, Ui Yong Jiang came out of the dressing room, wearing the blue shirt and pants that bi hwa had previously shown him.

Bi hwa who was standing outside the changing room was made dumbfounded when she saw Ui Yong Jiang.

He almost wanted to ask if Ui Yong Jiang was the one who had just walked into the dressing room, or if he had been inside before.

The robe that Ui Yong Jiang was wearing earlier covered at least half of his face, so he had no idea what he looked like.

“How do I look?” Ui Yong Jiang asked as he spread out his hands.

“It... looks good for you, young..pack,’ bi hwa is confused by the handsome face of Ui Yong Jiang so he is at a loss for words. Fortunately, he managed to speak, albeit only a little.

Ui Yong Jiang quickly attracted the attention of some young women, because so did the young man in the shop.

Even older women looked at him in awe, after all, not every day did they get the chance to see a handsome young man.

Ui Yong Jiang, who was used to being stared at by people, did not really feel that gaze. He looked around, hoping to find a group he could follow when going out.

While in the dressing room, he made a small arrangement on the clothes that were able to block the spiritual senses of the people watching him.

He planned to activate it when one of the groups in the store was about to leave. That way, it will be difficult for people

outside to find him. The people outside did not know how he looked, so he was not afraid of walking out.

“I think I will bring some traveling clothes as well,” Ui Yong Jiang speaks calmly to bi hwa with his hands placed behind his back.

Bi hwa nodded before showing her in the direction where the traveling clothes were located. Surprised by

the appearance of Ui Yong Jiang, he had forgotten that he did not come out with whatever bag he brought into the dressing room.

Ui Yong Jiang stayed in the store for five minutes before seeing the group of eight people who were planning to leave. The group consisted of five young men and

three young women, and they were all well-dressed, not as fancy as those who followed Sasha, but they would.

Without any further delay, he tapped on his right pocket, and the essence stone he stored there lit up just before

exiting. The array lines on the inside of his clothes lit up along with the essence stones before extinguishing.

After successfully blocking all the peeping senses, he set his stage with the help of the array as well, lowering it to the First stage of the Origin Plane.

If he were to take it lower than the Origin Plane, the group of four that followed him would know about it because

his control to hide it was not strong enough to hide it from them. But in

Origin Plane, he was sure that only those in the Overlord Plane could realize that he was hiding his stage.

Ui Yong Jiang approached the group of eight kindly, although the skills of his people were not as high as Mei ling,

he did not think he would have any problems with talking to the group. The group of eight was shocked when they saw him approaching them.

He introduces himself to the group, using the same name as he told Sasha. The group was surprisingly welcoming, and he immediately started a conversation with them.

Just as they started to come out while talking, the man in his twenties from the group of four walked into the shop.

He looked at the group suspiciously, after not recognizing any of them,

he walked straight to where Ui Yong Jiang stood before he activated the array that hid him from them.

Ui Yong Jiang grinned inside while leaving the shop with his group. The group invited him to

join them for the birthday ceremony that they will attend within two days,

and he agreed because he wouldn't do much with Void following Tan Xiao Jing now

and he could hopefully figure out the relationship between Tan Giok lin and Tan Xiao Jing of this group as well.

After picking up the invitation letter from the group, he left them and returned to the tavern where he was staying.

He made sure to put on his robe before going to the tavern.

Later that night.

“Fiuh!” Ui Yong Jiang sighed heavily with a white mist coming out of his mouth.

He opened his eyes to see the full moon through the window.

“I am finally at the Sixth stage, to think I will progress this fast,” muttered to himself while staring out the window.

After only four days of constant cultivation each night, he had finally broken through to the Sixth stage of the Origin Plane.

Now, he began to see the advantages of awakening more elements. Awakening the darkness element greatly increased his cultivation speed,

but what made him break through this quickly was clearly the Great Earth Essence Fluid he absorbed when increasing his level of darkness elemental.

Ui Yong Jiang took out a disc and touched his middle, he looked at everyone's position and saw Yong we and Mei ling had moved quite a distance

from where they were before. The only thing that made his face turn sour was Jade Lin, whose light point was still in the same position.

“Hopefully, I'll soon know where he is.”
