บท 38: Ch. 38 - Tian Yan
After a short while of thinking, Xiao Huoyan had decided.
"We will leave early tomorrow morning, so put everything that you want to take with you in the storage ring I gave you before."
"Really? Are we really leaving tomorrow?!", Tian Xin said with a voice filled with expectation.
Xiao Huoyan did not say anything. He just nodded his head silently.
"YAAAY!! You are the best, brother!"
Tian Xin knew that he was both stronger and more mature than most adults, so she thought he did not want to be treated as a helpless little child. She knew that she would not have wanted to if she were in his shoes, and therefore she decided to treat him as if they were of the same age despite the actual age difference between them.
In fact, most of the time she would be the one behaving like a child.
"You are overreacting. It is not that great, now is it?"
"Of course, it is great!"
Xiao Huoyan did not say anything. He just chuckled lightly.
"Hm…"
"What is it brother?"
"Now that were going to The Azure Dragon School, in case something happens, and I have to reveal myself, I can not afford to let it destroy my plans…"
"Then why do you not use another name? How about letting the world know about Jin Xin?"
"Like I said to uncle Niao; The moment Jin Long died, Jin Xin died with him!"
"Jin Long would not have wanted you to let go of the name he gave you just because he died!"
"… You are right."
"Exactly! So why do you not enroll in The Azure Dragon School as Jin Xin then?"
"If I do, then we will never have a peaceful day--"
"Then why do you not enroll as Jin Xin and tell them all not to expose you? Just tell them not to expose your real identity and to call you something else instead! How about--"
"--Tian Yan…"
"Tian Yan? That is indeed a great name! How did you come up with it so fast? It has 'Yan' as in your 'Huoyan' as well as 'Tian' which is the same surname as I have! Then everyone will know that were siblings! Wonderful!"
"… I did not come up with the name…"
"Huh? Then who did?"
"… Mother, Tian Mei, did. That time when she was searching for me in the village, she was shouting the name 'Tian Yan' as to not expose my real name nor the connections between us. She did not give birth to me so I am not her own blood, yet she took me in as her own. She died because of me…"
"… We have already talked about this, so stop being so depressed already! It is not your fault and it is not mine. The one to blame for mother's death is neither of us. It is Jin Niao as well as the entire Jin Clan! We will claim our revenge when the time is ripe!"
"You are right."
"I know, just get used to it! I am actually a lot smarter than I look, hehe!"
"Hahahaha, you sure are!"
"For now, I shall pretend I did not notice the sarcasm in your tone as to not ruin this happy moment!"
"Sister Tian Xin treats me the best!"
"Well, of course!"
-
After a while they both went back to train again. A few hours later they came back again. This time to eat dinner.
When they finished eating, Xiao Huoyan went to bed while Tian Xin began packing. She finished quickly and then she also went to bed.
This time, Xiao Huoyan were the one to wake up first and prepare breakfast. As soon as Tian Xin woke up, she rushed out of her room and into the kitchen. Then she quickly finished her meal.
"Why are you rushing? I have never seen anyone aet that fast before!"
"It is just that your food is too delicious!"
"I know my cooking skills are indeed above average, but this is just fried eggs. Did I not prepare the exact same thing two days ago? You barely touched your food then."
"Your food is indeed the best, but you are right. It is not because of your food that I am rushing, but because you said we would leave early this morning, so I want to finish everything as quick as possible so that we can set off to The Azure Sea Division!"
"Are you really that excited?!"
"Well of course! I know that you made this decision because you saw how sad I was yesterday, therefore I will have the make sure that we leave here before you change your mind!"
"I did not plan on changing my mind."
"Whatever you say, brother! So… How long does it take to get to The Azure Sea Division?"
"By foot it should take around two weeks, but we are not going to walk there. I am in no mood for that."
"Then are we going to fly there?"
"You can not fly yet. Your cultivation is still too low."
"But I could fly in--"
"In that world anyone can fly. If someone without cultivation would try they would also succeed."
"What?! When will I be able to fly then?"
"Follow my instructions and you will be able to fly in at least three months."
"Three months?!"
"It would take most people more than three years to get from where you are now to being able to fly. Do not be too greedy now."
"Fine, brother. But how are we going to get to The Azure Sea Division then? It is not like you we buy horses anywhere close by."
"Ever heard of Teleportation Talismans? We are going to use them."
"Teleportation Talismans that are able to get us all the way from here to The Azure Sea Division must be really expensive! How are we going to get those?!"
"Father Long left me the method of how to create them. I made some last night."
"You made them on your own?! And did you not go straight to bed yesterday?"
"I did go to bed. I was laying in bed unable to sleep, so I decided to try creating some talismans."
"Did you say you made 'some' of them?! Even for experts it would take at least a few hours to make a single one of them!"
"Really? Is it not just like snapping your fingers?"
Hearing her brother speaking about it as if it was nothing made her speechless.
"At least now we will not have to ever worry about money."
"Can these Teleportation Talismans fetch a high price?"
"They should cost at least two hundred thousand each!"
"Sounds expensive."
"It is!"
"Then I guess they can be used to make money too."
"Of course they can! If we were to take them to an auction house, we would become rich overnight!"
"That is great!"
Xiao Huoyan did not really care much about the money, but he wanted his dear sister to be able to live her life without worries.
He had to help her get strong enough to be able to take care of herself in case something happened to him. Money would help a lot on the way. Resources would cost an unimaginable amount of money.
Though he had received so much from his father Long, he knew that it would not be enough. He had to earn money by himself, and now he had found a way to do it.
He had always been gifted in everything he had tried, so he decided that when they reached The Azure Sea Division, he would visit the Alchemists Association and try concocting pills and elixirs.
Alchemists were respected everywhere. He had a feeling that he would be surprisingly good at it. If he were to succeed as an alchemist, he and his sister would not need to worry about money nor status!
