Chapter 16

"My aunt's here, next time I'll look for you to talk." The bright-eyed thief quickly spoke one sentence to Yue Yang in a low voice and turned to meet the beauty dressed in palace clothing.

"Do you know her? Although her face was covered, I daresay she's 99 points." The fatty's mouth had opened wide, practically forming a waterfall of drool. His appearance looked like he needed a good spanking.

"I don't have any interest in men." Yue Yang tried hard to resist his temptation to charge forwards and strike the fatty's heart with his dagger. Instead, Yue Yang turned around and left.

After hearing Yue Yang, The fatty was suddenly tempted to cry in his heart, this youngster had a good beast yet he did not treasure it, had a beautiful woman but was not passionate about it, could it be that he was not afraid of meeting with heavenly punishment?

After entering the teleportation circle and teleported away using the crystal card. He was happy that his destination was different from Fatty's. But he didn't land on someone as in the Novel. He looked around but didn't see anyone. He searched for some time and find the person he was searching for. The lanky man was dressed in rags like a beggar. He knew what happens to him and after thinking about Yue Bing who was also going to be kicked out of her team, He worried.

He knew this person had potential and was very loyal. The Yue Yang in the Novel never trained him and others seriously. But he decided he was loyal to him he would train him and make him a strong person.

He approached him and asked, "Hey buddy, Are you familiar with Tong Tian Tower?"

"Ha, how would I not be familiar with it? I've already spent two years guiding people in here. I can bring you to Xing Yu from Tong Tian Tower's floors with my eyes closed. Do you need help getting there? I know the easiest shortcut. I don't need money, but only food to fill my stomach. If you manage to complete the trial missions, tipping me will do just fine." When the man spoke about tipping, the self-mockery in his face grew.

"No, but if you will help me in finding a person then I will give you 20 gold coins. I don't care how you go about doing it or what methods you use, but I just want to see her quickly." Yue Yang decided to give him some more money to help him.

"Who are you searching?" asked the lanky man. His eyes lit up after hearing the amount.

"Her name is Yue Bing. She is my sister. She is a student of Shang Jing Academy. Her Academy is here to train students. I think her team was called the 'Rose Team'. Once you find her bring her to me in the Gold & Silver Inn. If you don't find me there waiting for me. Protect her when you are escorting her to Inn. Here take this, there are some silver and bronze coins for you so you can find her fast." said Yue Yang as he handed him a pouch.

He returned sometime later with other people who helped Yue Yang draw the portrait of Yue Bing and began the search.

Before they went searching Yue Yang told them,

"If you can find her and she is still in her team tell her that I'm searching for her. If she doesn't believe you tell her that I still haven't taught her all skills of the Thorny Flower and that she shall hurry up." He turned around and walked away.

He was pondering about the trials he had to pass in twelve Zodiac temples. He was also preparing for his heart demon since he knew that it won't be the same as in the novel.

Yue Yang decided to challenge the first trial. Surprisingly, he didn't encounter Luo Hua City Mistress. The guards only looked at him and Hui Tai Lang before letting them in.

He summoned Barbaric Bull Shadow and used Giant Shadow on her. As for his grimoire, he didn't use it since he wanted to use the law here against the trial. He helped when his beast was in trouble.

He didn't even use two treasures from the chambers to beat the final boss Chimera. He let Barbaric Cow Shadow fight it first for experience and after that used his Innate aura to make it unconscious and let Barbaric Shadow kill it.

Like in the Novel, Chimera after being defeated teleported away and drop a golden bell.

He gave the bell to Barbaric Shadow. He also collected entered two chambers and took Blinding runes and Silencing Scepter. He wanted to study them after gaining his mother's knowledge. He had tried many times to comprehend Ancient and Immemorable runes but not succeed. His Divine Eyes had leveled up to level 3 but he knew he needed to level it up to level 5 to gain the knowledge.

After taking all the beast's corpses, he entered the secret room to receive his reward. He placed his crystal card in the statue. A light descended upon all his beasts. When the light faded away, He checked his grimoire and saw that all his beasts leveled up by one except Xiao Wen Li, the barbaric shadow received low sentience. Even Hui Tai Lang also received the sentience, Yue Yang was dumbfounded by looking at it because nothing like this ever happened in the Novel.

After taking the card, he went to the room where the cauldron was to test his luck since he had time. He had many gold coins maybe he could find something interesting. He did a lot of attempts but only gain a mysterious bead, a treasure map, and a broken axe with mysterious runes. The runes were similar to the armor's runes he bought in White Stone City.

Using the teleporting circle, he went out. The guards only watched him leaving without saying anything.
