"Master Yuan, we haven't seen each other in a long time, how are you and Mrs Yuan?"
"Master Mizu Tanaka and Mr Tsuki Hiroshi! Our news is all right, sorry if I don't give you a welcome for coming to our house!"
Yuan Xia's home came two Clans from the Toakai, the Mizu Clan and the Tsuki Clan, Yuan Xia who did not know if Hirosi and Tanaka would come directly let them in but with a sense of shame for not welcoming them properly.
"This Master Yuan doesn't need to say that, after all we are friends, isn't that Tanaka-Sama?"
"What he said by Hiroshi-sama is absolutely true Master Yuan!"
Yuan Xia could only smile awkwardly then allow them to sit down.
"Mr Yuan, sorry if we just visited Master now, we have also heard that the Lord's family was attacked by the Yama Clan's Shinobi!" tanaka.
Yuan Xia nodded and his face turned sad, he and his wife could not forget the events of that time at all.
"Surely Mr. Mizu Tanaka, my family was attacked by two Shinobi people, but at that time luck was still on my family's side, it was all because of my Son who had been instrumental in saving his sister!" said Yuan Xia who looked sad.
Hiroshi and Tanaka were both looking at each other, they had also heard that the one who foiled the attack was Yuan Xia's son who was then about Five or six years old.
"But sir, the news we received back then said your son was also injured, is that true?" ask Hiroshi.
"Yes! My son was also injured by being hit by that Shinobi weapon, the problem at that time my injured son actually went from the house and disappeared somewhere, even my wife..!"
Yuan Xia stopped his sentence then he stared at Lie Yie who was sitting alone beside his house.
Since blocking Tian Feng from home, Lie Yie became quiet, sometimes Lie Yie daydreamed to herself with a blank stare, even then she got very sick from lack of food and too many thoughts.
One day Yuan Xia almost lost Lie Yie for good, and Lie Yie almost committed suicide on the rope in her room.
Lie Yie had intended to kill herself because the people who had been looking for Tian Feng for three months only returned empty-handed, he said, which was even more painful when people had said that Tian Feng was most likely already dead.
That was why Lie Yie did not accept and screamed hysterically, she ran into the room and then locked the room from the inside.
Yuan Xia did not think at all that Lie Yie would be desperate to kill herself, because of the worry over Lie Yie's condition, Yuan Xia finally caught up with Lie Yie to his room.
Yuan Xia continued to call Lie Yie to open her door, but Lie Yie did not answer at all.
His worry grew so much that Yuan Xia broke down the door of his room, when it was broken, Yuan Xia was surprised to find Lie Yie already hanging in the room.
Luckily Yuan Xia could still feel Lie Yie's body movements which meant that Lie Yie was still not completely dead.
Yuan Xia quickly body Lie Yie and then cut the rope in order to lower Lie Yie.
Lie Yie who was barely breathing immediately coughed as she was already successfully lowered.
Realizing that she was not going to die from being saved by Yuan Xia, Lie Yie cried again and said that she wanted to catch up with Tian Feng.
Lie Yie did not want Tian Feng to be lonely so she wanted to catch up with him and would accompany Tian Feng in the afterlife.
Seeing his wife's heartbreaking condition, Yuan Xia also couldn't hold back his tears, he hugged his wife tightly so that Lie Yie could be calmer.
Yuan Xia was sure that Tian Feng would still be alive, and he also gave that explanation to Lie Yie so that his wife could be calmer.
It took a very long time for Yuan Xia to calm Lie Yie down, it was fortunate that he managed to convince Lie Yie so that Lie Yie undoed her intention to commit suicide.
Since the passing of the incident, Lie Yie still looks moody, has various ways in done so that Lie Yie back as before, but none of them succeeded, Chie Xie also often entertained her mother, and she was very happy, yet there was still no smile visible on Lie Yie's lips.
Yuan Xia told everything to Tanaka and also Hiroshi so they were both very moved by the story of Lie Yie who loved Tian Feng so much.
"If I may know, what is the name of the master's son?" ask Tanaka.
"His name is Yuan Tian, and we call him Tian!" replied Yuan Xia.
"Tian's? His name is almost similar to the boy I met five years ago?" hiroshi.
Yuan Xia turned his head in shock towards Hiroshi as well as asked him, "His name is the same? Whose name is the same?" asked Yuan Xia.
"The name of the master's son, but the difference is that the master's son is named Yuan Tian, while the child we've met is named Tian Feng!" answer Hiroshi.
"What..!? Where did you meet my son Tian?" asked Yuan Xia who stood up in surprise.
Obviously Yuan Xia's attitude surprised Hiroshi and Tanaka as well, Even Lie Yie who was sitting alone with a blank look also turned towards Yuan Xia, not out of shock, as she was, but because of hearing the name Tian spoken by Yuan Xia.
"Master, his name is Tian Feng, and not Yuan Tian!" hiroshi.
"Yes I know, but his real name is Tian Feng, and we gave our surname to him so he we called him Yuan Tian!" yuan Xia.
"Xia! Did you mention my son's name?" asked Lie Yie who was already behind Yuan Xia.
"Yie 'er! Mr. Hiroshi said he had met our son!" yuan Xia replied with a big smile, he was sure Lie Yie would be very excited if he heard the name Tian mentioned, because it had been ten years that he had missed Tian Feng so much.
"Is that true, sir? Then where is my Son now, and how is his condition, is he okay? And.and! Is he big?" ask Lie Yie with questions that follow each other.
"Yie'er calm down, let's sit down first and we'll listen to Mr. Hiroshi's story first" Yuan Xia said.
Lie Yie whose body looked so thin immediately looked excited, she immediately sat down and then started listening to what Hiroshi was going to tell me.
"His name was Tian Feng as soon as he told us, we originally met at a restaurant and he was alone and bought food!"
"Do you remember his facial features?" asked Yuan Xia.
Hiroshi smiled he obviously would not forget Tian Feng face even though he first met Tian Feng was wearing a cloth to cover part of his face.
"Of course, Master Yuan, he originally wore a face mask that made me and my daughter very curious! But when he opened his face cover, it turned out that the face of the child was very handsome like the son of a God!" hiroshi.
Lie Yie's eyes widened, now she was sure if the child was her Son, "Xia, I'm sure he must be my son, Tian! Tian is still my son alive! Tian is alive!" Lie Yie looked very happy when she found out if Tian Feng was still alive, she was unceasingly speaking so Yuan Xia drank it to keep calm and let Hiroshi tell her everything.
"Then where did Tian go, sir?" asked Yuan Xia.
Hiroshi immediately told her everything as he traveled with Tian Feng, saying, even Hiroshi also said that in fact he was very surprised when he found out that Tian Feng back then turned out to have very high martial arts.
With nothing to cover up for Hiroshi, he told how Tian Feng would save his family from the Shinobi attacks sent by the Yama Clan to kill him and Naomi.
Until he finally parted ways with Tian Feng in Xinyi Village, Hiroshi only knew that the one who killed the four people from Yamuru was Tian Feng, and all that was explained by one of the Shinobi who became his bodyguard.
That Shinobi could be as confident as it was because he had seen Tian Feng use the Lion's claw-like claw-like claw as he faced the red Shinobi inside the Tent.
"Master Yuan, actually my arrival to this Xanhuo City also wants to search for Tian-san's whereabouts, he should have arrived here Five Years ago, because he already said that he would return to this City!" hiroshi.
"It's weird, if Tian's really going to come back here, why didn't he come?" asked Yuan Xia.
"I don't know about it either, Mr. Yuan, maybe now the boy is growing up, because I met him when he was about 13 years old, and if calculated from that year, he should be at least 18 years old by now!" hiroshi.
"Then I'll go see Master Zang and tell him this, let him go look for him!" yuan Xia.
"Eee Master Yuan, I'm sorry if I interrupted your conversation! Wouldn't there be about a month of official elections by the new King of this Kingdom? Why do you still want to leave when your office will be taken by another official?" ask Tanaka.
The current King in the Kingdom of Wu is not the previous King, because the old King is gone.
According to reports the King died of a heart attack, but there are also those who say if there is a sabotage for the death of the King.
Since the Wu Kingdom was replaced by a new King, the rules also began to change. Currently Yuan Xia's position as an Official was on the verge of decline.
According to the new King, Yuan Xia was already no longer fit to occupy his post, all of that was also due to the incitement of the other two officials who demonized Yuan Xia so that the King would hold the election of a new Official.
The way of election of the Office is no longer as it used to be where the People would vote for it, but the new way is through the match.
All the candidates for the Office who will run must compete, who wins he is the one who deserves to be the Official and replaces Yuan Xia.
But the King also gave Yuan Xia the opportunity to keep his position by competing.
If you do not have martial arts or do not have descendants who have martial arts!Each candidate Office can hire another swordsman as his representative to fight and win the contest for the Department.
Yuan Xia himself currently had one great Swordsman and one descendant who was also a swordsman, he was Zang Yang and the other was 13-year-old Chie Xie.
Chie Xie had already trained under the guidance of Zang Yang, and he was currently already at the Lower Swordsman level, and would soon rise to the Middle Swordsman level.
"Actually I'm not too interested in this post, Mr. Tanaka! All that matters to me right now is finding my son back, that's all!" yuan Xia.
"No sir, it's better for the sake of the good name of the Lord's family, you shouldn't ignore this, if you don't have a warrior as a representative, then I'll give you one Ronin to represent Master!" tanaka.
Yuan Xia was silent for a moment, he realized that all this was just for the sake of dropping himself, if he did not come, he realized that he was not, it was the same if he admitted defeat and the two officials who were planning to bring him down would definitely be delighted.
But the problem was that he only had Zang Yang and his daughter, whereas the rules of the match were completely non-existent.
It could be that later some other candidates hired more than two warriors, and the more he was worried if there was one of the Candidates who hired a Light Swordsman who might be higher than Zang Yang.
Of course it is very heavy, what else is the Job Battle Match does not have rules, willing to fight to the death is also not prohibited.
"I'll think about it again!" yuan Xia.
"So what about Tian? Don't you want to look for him?" Lie Yie asked.
"Yie'er, our son will definitely come home, you have heard for yourself not if the two are actually going home, you should be preparing to welcome his arrival, you should, don't let him come to be sad from seeing your current condition!" yuan Xia.
Yuan Xia's words turned out to have made Lie Yie excited, and the smile of happiness that had long disappeared on Lie Yie's face was now back in sight.
"You're absolutely right, Xia, I'd better get ready! From now on I have to take care of health for Tian!" lie Yie said then she got up and said goodbye to the room.
Yuan Xia was happy to see his wife who had returned excited after finding out if Tian Feng was still alive and was about to return home, yet he did not know when Tian Feng would come.
"Thank you very much Mr. Hiroshi for all the information, now we're all relieved, and I'll tell this to Master Zang and Chie Xie later, I'm sure they'll be happy to hear it," yuan Xia.
Hiroshi and Tanaka were in Yuan Xia's house for quite some time, after which they just said goodbye when it was late afternoon.
