Chapter 2 - 8 Years Later

Human Territory, Blazing Phoenix Country.

This country was famous for being the hottest one from the human territory, there was another fact that made this place famous as well, it was ruled by the Blazing Phoenix Sect. An entire sect focused on flame arts. There were all kind of flame cultivation practitioners on this place, but it's said that the Royal Family that controlled the sect, had the legendary Phoenix Bloodline running inside their veins. Even if it was just a minuscule fraction of drop of blood, such a holy beast bloodline would make the person who had it, be a master among masters of flames.

This place was the outer court of the Blazing Phoenix Sect, the ruler of the country. People wearing red robes could be seen everywhere.

Under the shadow of a tall tree there was a tall boy with raven black hairs and a great build that seemed not too bulky but still muscular and well outlined. His eyes were black and he had a penetrating gaze.

His robes were red too, not sparkly but a plain shade of red, symbolizing his status as an outer court disciple of the Blazing Phoenix Sect. They fit normally for his good build but a bit off from his normal clothes preference.

He was currently looking at the skies absent-minded as if recalling his past. It has been eight years since his life got turned upside down and all those distant memories still tormented him from time to time.

"Senior Brother Seth."

"Senior Brother..."

A cheerful voice rang beside his ears.

The boy quickly snapped back to earth and looked at the lively girl who was calling for him.

"Chun Meiyi, you look cute today as well."

"Stop teasing me again!" The girl looked flustered but he could see her cheeks blushing for a bit and she seemed a bit happy.

In fact, he was actually telling the truth as she looked adorable and cheerful.

She had a light purple hair that was really smooth and a green butterfly ribbon tying her hair behind her head. Her hair at shoulder length gave her all the necessary youthfulness for a heathy beautiful lady.

Her hair moved along the wind trying to show how lively her personality was. 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖

Her light pink skin seemed smooth and silky, her brown eyes were really vivid and always sparkling when looking at him. She was petite and fit as her body was still maturing. She was 17 years old, but her youthful appearance would make many people mistake her as a 15 years old girl. Donned on the same red robes for outer disciples, her slim figure was really cute and neat.

"Senior Brother, the inner court disciple exam is approaching, can we t-train t-t-together today as well? She asked stuttering and getting red for a bit.

The boy had to admit... Teasing her makes his day better. At least, when he saw her naivety, he would forget about the intricacies around him.

"Of course. I would totally clear my schedule today just to train with you if I had one to begin with." He said while having a devious grin all over his face.

She didn't let that pass unnoticed. "You're not allowed to do that again today!" She added hastily.

"Do what?" Asking in a straight face, but in reality, laughing on the inside, he was already enjoying the situation. Naive!

"T-To t-t-touch me while we are training!"

"Hey, how am I supposed to teach you if I can't direct you up close? We're bound to touch each other on these kinds of situations."

"And why would you need to touch my legs while we train our element control?" She asked with a face full of doubts.

"Posture! I was just correcting your posture!"

"Humph!" She snorted doubting his statement.

His eyes were glinting as if it was already another victory.

She walked ahead some meters, turned around with a quick spin in a lively way.

"Anyway, I will wait for you at the same place" After that she just ran away, but when she was turning around the corner of the street a few meters away she said in a barely audible tone. "Yay."

Shortly after that, she was no longer in the line of sight.

"Ahahahaha! I will never get tired of this."

Preparing to leave the spot he was, he suddenly heard four different voices mocking in a disrespectful tone.

"Isn't that girl the "failure" people are talking about?"

"Yeah! And she was even talking with that weakling over there."

"Like people usually say, trash tends to bundle together."

"Ahaha it seems so. She's cute though."

"How about we do "That" Tao Yong? No one is going to bother with what happens with a "failure"."

Their speech tone was not loud, but nonetheless, it could be heard by anyone with a bit of progressing on their cultivation. It showed that they weren't bothered with other people hearing them.

Tao Yong. One of the strongest disciples at the outer court of the Blazing Phoenix Sect with Qi Gathering Middle Stage Cultivation Realm at the age of 18. With his cultivation level he would have it easy on the upcoming tests.

Maybe his group confidence came from him and his achievements of being one of the top 3 disciples in the entire outer court, but his fame was not that bright. He had done some evil acts lately, but people feared him more for his connections with some inner court disciples and his brother.

He looked at the girl distancing from them and said back to his three underlings: "That sounds good. Let's go make a plan so we can have some fun tonight." While grinning in a creepy way he started signaling for them to move.

His friends started laughing and following his lead towards the same place Chun Meiyi left for. They didn't seem to be hasty in any way.

Seth followed after them slowly, not attracting any attention towards him. Not too close so they don't suspect anything, but not so far as well. They were busy planning their course of actions, unaware they were being followed by a weaker practitioner that should never have escaped their perceptions.

Tao Yong checked his equipment's and confirmed he was ready.

"Everything is ready guys. We just need an opportunity to strike. It would be better if she goes to some secluded place and the fewer people with her the better.

His underlings nodded and proceeded with his instructions.
