THE DEPUTY SECT Master arrived at the end of the forest where Yang Lujia and the little girl were supposed to be. However, she later found out that she wasnât there anymore.
âWhen did that little girl learn to fly so fast? This is going to be troublesome,â she said, sighing. After searching the place thrice, she confirmed that the little girl was nowhere to be found. âWhy am I feeling like something bad happened to her? She better not be kidnapped.â
âBig brother, what is your name?â the little girl asked when they arrived at the nearest city.
Although the Third Region was ruled by sects, it still had towns and cities around them that functioned for auctions or doing other businesses that required buying or selling treasures.
The moment they arrived in the city, it was bustling with a lot of people who seemed to be working nonstop. There were also children who were playing with their peers and some adults who didnât have any cultivation. However, their blood and body were obviously native to Da Shikong. At least that was what Yang Lujia could tell.
On the other hand, the houses and establishments were also no different from what he had seen in Da Sishen in Guile City. They were pretty tough as they used bricks to build their fences and walls, and they had a metallic roof whose curvy edges extended at least a meter away from the walls.
âIâm called Dum Gai,â Yang Lujia responded to the young girl as he carried her through the city. âWhere do you want to go, little girl?â
âI want to eat something, Big Brother Dum Gai!â She pouted as she gently rubbed her stomach that grumbled. âIt must be something delicious!â
âAlright,â he replied, his face nonchalant. Soon enough, he found a restaurant that was famous for its various cuisines. After ordering a lot, he sat down with the little girl on the opposite side, intently looking at her. âLittle girl, whatâs your name?â.
âLan Mingyue!â she replied.
âThatâs a beautiful name,â he commented. âCan I call you Mingyue, then?â
âCome to think of it, I had not asked the fatty about the Sirin Grave Sect Masterâs name.â
âAlright, big brother! Ahhh! Iâm so excited to eat~lalalaâ¦â
Yang Lujia was silent while waiting for the food. He then noticed that the little girl was somewhat of a strange existence that he could not see through. Even if he tried to use his abilities to see into her future, he was instead blocked by something.
âMingyue, big brother would like to ask something of you. Itâs about the sect you escaped from. Itâs called Sirin Grave Sect, right?â
âYes, big brother!â
âDo you hate that place?â
She shook her head. âNo. The big sisters there are very kind. I just want to go out!â
âSo, sheâs just like a brat in the modern world.â
âThen, can I ask about the Sirin Grave Sect, Mingyue?â
âOf course, big brother! We are quite famous, you know! At least thatâs what my cousin is telling me!â
âOh?â Yang Lujia was piqued. âWhoâs your cousin?â
âBig Sister Lan Mingyue!â She looked around, almost drooling at the food the others were eating. When they saw the cheerful little girl, they were somewhat surprised and looked at her dotingly. Who wouldnât like a child like her?
âYou have the same name as your cousin?â Yang Lujia asked.
âOf course, because weâre cousins!â
ââ¦â Yang Lujia was speechless.
âThen, what is her position in the sect?â he questioned.
âSheâs the sect master!â
GULP.
Yang Lujia felt his heartbeat skip for a moment. It seemed like he had caught some big fish this time. After that, he asked more about the Sirin Grave Sect.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
But he first let the little girl eat her fill before he asked her another set of questions again.
Eventually, he learned about the other rules of the Sirin Grave Sect. Other than being just girls, almost half of them hated men to the core. It was like a haven for women who got cheated on or got deceived by men. Apart from that, he also learned that Lan Mingyue, the little girlâs cousin and sect master of the mentioned sect, was pretty aloof to almost everyone and very harsh even to her. However, the little girl said that although her big sister, Lan Mingyue, was like that, she really cared for the people around her.
Only if they were not men.
âIf I want to visit your sect, will she become angry?â
âCertainly!â the little girl replied without hesitation. âBig brother, I want to play this time! Letâs go hunt some beasts!â
ââ¦â
After a short span of silence, he nodded and brought her out of the restaurant after paying their fill. He felt bloated after eating so much. It wasnât that expensive because it was a pretty normal restaurant, however. Hence, he did not need to worry about the bill.
âI donât know why, but I still feel hungry,â he mumbled, not believing that his appetite was so great that he wouldnât even dare to measure it. Perhaps it was because of the Supreme Heavenly Scripture again.
The little girl still caught him saying something and asked, âWhat did you say, big brother?â
He shook his head. âNothing. Anyway, where do you want to hunt some beasts?â
He really felt helpless this time, but in exchange for the information he got from the little girl about their sect, this should be enough to satisfy her wants.
âHmm⦠Letâs just go to theâAHHH!â
SCREECH!
Yang Lujia was frightened when he heard how the girl screamed. It almost made his eardrums explode. When the other people heard this, they looked at the little girl pitifully.
âWhatâs happening, Mingyue?â Despite that, he did not sound agitated. âWhy did you suddenly scream?â
âIt hurts! It hurts! I donât want to be here anymore!â she shouted that it even incurred the other peopleâs opinions.
âIs that her father? Heâs pretty harsh for a cute little girl like her, right?â
âI couldnât agree more. If I had a daughter like her, I wouldâve doted on her.â
âThat young man seems to be too young to have a daughter, though. Moreover, she doesnât resemble a bit of his appearance. Moreover, as a man myself, my instincts are telling me that heâs a virgin.â
Yang Lujia, ââ¦â
Nonetheless, he ignored all of them and temporarily stopped to try to ask the little girl about her condition. However, the moment he put her on the ground, her body suddenly became so blurry that it confused him big time.
âWhatâs happening to her?â he asked himself.
âI want to go back! I want to go back to daddy!â
