Chapter 20: You Can't

"Your uncle but why are you searching him like this. You should know about his whereabouts after all he is your family." Long Lei questioned.

"He is my family but there were some grudges in the past that lead him to separate himself from my father. This time I am here to bring him back so that he can come back to Holy Kunlun Sect to solve that problem." Nangong Ah Jin explained.

Long Lei then focused on Holy Kunlun Sect and its problem. What was this place?

"Holy Kunlun Sect? What is this and what are you talking about when you say the problem?" Long Lei asked him.

Nangong Ah Jin wondered if she was stupid or has lost her brain while traveling in the forest alone.

How could she not know Holy Kunlun Set? This was the number one powerful sect which was able to contend with Great Qin's Royal Family.

"You don't know about Holy Kunlun Sect?" he asked.

She shook her head honestly. She was still new in this world and after coming here she was always trying to learn different fields and practicing physical fight so she didn't get the time to know about this continent. She was only aware of Jianghu where she stayed isolated for two years.

Her godfather was strict when it comes to her cultivation so he didn't allow her to waste her time.

This world was unknown territory to her.

How would she know that what was this Holy Kunlun Sect?

"I don't know. Actually, I never went outside of Jianghu in my life and the people here don't like to talk about the outside world so I am not aware of this sect," she told him honestly. She knew that he was not going to hurt her so she was not hesitant to reveal some of her information in front of him.

Nangong Ah Jin saw the sincerity in her eyes and then smiled at her silly self. She was still too green in this world. How can she live in this dangerous world alone?

She was so innocent, so soft that he wants to hide her away from this place.

Nangong Ah Jin snapped out of his daydream and controlled his husky voice.

"This is the number one powerful sect in this continent." He informed her.

"Then why are you searching for your uncle? You are also powerful then why can't you solve this problem on your own?" she asked him like a curious child.

She wanted to confirm if her godfather is really Nangong Bai Yu and only this man can help her in getting that information.

"He is an important factor in this case. I can't tell you about the problem but I was here to take this soul flute away to get him to show himself on his own otherwise it is becoming difficult for even me to find him out."

Long Lei completely listened to him, giving him full attention; she didn't want to leave anything out in her inquiry. This pedophile was not that great after all Long Lei wondered. He was not able to uncover her act. She had practiced this face for over thirty years now and was really impressed at herself in fooling people and getting favors from them.

"Why will he show himself because of this poor flute? What is so special about this white flute?" she asked him. This was the main point if the reasons matched then undoubtedly her godfather was the royal uncle that Nangong Ah Jin was searching about.

"It is important to him, even more, important than his life." He told her solemnly.

Damn! This was also important for his master. He had repeatedly told her to go and receive this flute if he was not able to go on his own. He didn't say anything more about this but she was sure that this flute has much more important in his life.

"Why? This is just a flute. What is so good about it?"

She brought out the flute and inspected it with her full focus. She couldn't see anything really amazing in this. This looked like a normal flute.

Nangong Ah Jin smiled at her childish act. Sure enough, she was innocent. She can't even tell the difference in normal flute and soul flute.

Life was truly strange. He wanted to contract this flute but she was the one to get it first and the weird thing was that the soul flute accepted her as his owner. She didn't know that she has gained the key to access the Shen Xin tower.

He chuckled at her luck; this little fox was truly fortunate.

"This is something great." He vaguely said not giving her many details.

Now the main problem is how he will lead Nangong Bai Yu out of his hidden lair. This flute was one of the most important things to lure him out. It might be the only thing that can help him in bringing him out.

Alas! He didn't know how to take out that man from his hidden spot.

"Something great? Ah! Well, then I will take it." Long Lei agreed.

She loves every good thing that comes in her life and it is even better when she receives rare treasures. After all just because it looks ugly it doesn't mean it is not something good.

Those novels that she loved reading in her leisure time were all similar like this because the main character would always get something suddenly and it turns out to be one of the amazing treasures in the world where everyone would regret letting the protagonist receive it.

"I love treasures, more the better, and then big brother I will leave now. I am already too late my family might worry." Long Lei said politely.

Now that she knows that her godfather was related to this man she has to carefully divert him and the problem of Holy Kunlun Sect was nothing in front of her.

If her godfather wanted to help them then he would have gone by himself so this means there was something more that she doesn't know and without knowing any more details and the story of godfather she won't allow anyone to disturb his personal space.

"You are leaving." ….. this soon.

Nangong Ah Jin held back his words. Although they met by a chance accident and interacted for a brief time he feels that he really doesn't like her going away from him.

This brings a sad feeling in his heart. This brings him the memory of his mother.

He closed his eyes to calm his erratic feelings and convinced himself to not let his emotion come in his way. He has to search that man out otherwise his shifu will be in great trouble and the best way to lure his uncle out of this big Jianghu is probably this flute.

He has to find a way to take Long Lei's help in order to catch his uncle sooner.

"You can't." he suddenly ordered.
