nodding his head, zhao tian replied "hm, she called it as ''fallen mandate."


    huh?


    yao jing was startled to hear the name and her eyes squinted in thought "that organization? it''s dangerous."


    zhao tian got curious and moved his face closer to hers "you know about that organization?"


    turning her head to look at him, yao jing gave a nod "hm, they are the most dangerous organization in high stars... they are more notorious than space pirates."


    "they are like the people who control the high stars from the underworld... though i heard their influence reaches till the astral realm."


    "that even their main branch is in astral realm."


    upon hearing this, zhao tian''s gaze narrowed and yao jing spoke "we need to report this as quickly as possible... but we have already ventured hundreds of kilometers in this forest."


    "so, going back now without finding the herb will waste our time. let''s search for another week."


    "if we do not find that herb by then, we can return and report this to the sect master."


    zhao tian nodded his head agreeing to her idea "okay."


    they walked back through the stone door, reaching outside as the cold night wind blew their faces.


    hugging her neck closely, zhao tian asked "so, how did you find me?"


    yao jing rolled her eyes as she continued her walk "i prepared the tent and was waiting for you.. but seeing that you are not returning even after an hour."


    "i quickly began to search for you and i heard loud sounds from here.. so i came here."


    "and i sensed your presence inside the door, so i rushed in."


    zhao tian nodded his head "i see..."


    yao jing caressed her cheek with his and asked, "so, what were you doing with that woman naked? and you are also in boxers... did she try to assault you?"


    hearing this, zhao tian smiled dryly and replied "something like that."


    yao jing let out a sigh "but i am very impressed with you, you were holding your ground against a powerful cultivator who is two stages above you."


    her green eyes wavered, a flicker of doubt crossing them and she hesitated before speaking again. "and you have four elemental affinities... such a genius with unparalleled potential and great combat prowess."


    "just go there."


    "okay, sir."


    ...

    huh? entering the cave, zhao tian glanced around in confusion "where did she go?"


    yao jing who was walking beside him was confused "which woman, tian''er..."


    he turned to her and replied, "i saw an injured woman when i was passing by this cave. so i healed her and placed her here."


    "seems like she woke up and left the cave."


    yao jing raised an eyebrow and asked in a teasing tone "are you sure you really saw a woman? or were you imagining things?"


    -_-


    with a shake of his head, zhao tian took an orange feather from his storage ring and showed it to her "there was an ember raven with her, and after healing her.. it gave me this feather."


    hm? yao jing reached out and took the feather in her hand, looking at it keenly "it is indeed real.. and it is unusual for an ember raven to be in snow mountains like this."


    "hm.. the ember raven must be that woman''s tamed beast. so you were telling the truth."


    a soft sigh escaped his lips "seems like she left.. well, forget about it."


    he looked down at the bruises, and dust on his body and he was only wearing boxers "i will go and wash my body."


    yao jing sighed softly "don''t go lost again.. return to the tent properly..."


    "yeah.. yeah..."


    as he walked out of the cave she looked at his back and her eyes softened as a gentle smile spread across her lips.


    "idiot disciple."
