11 Si Dao, Chu Xuan'er
Xuanyuan Wentian was really having a hard time in finding the exact location of the Purple Order Grass that was right on this vast mountain.
He did not have a map or guidance in his hand. It's merely an instinct and luck he can rely on to find the exact location of the Purple Order Grass.
However, as the Heaven had heard the cries of his difficulty. He was given another alternative to find the location of the Spiritual Medicine that he was looking for.
In the midst of his search, Xuanyuan Wentian suddenly heard the voice of a woman and seems like she was looking for the same object as him. Furthermore, from the sentence of the woman, her partner seemed to know the exact location of the Purple Order Grass.
With that, Xuanyuan Wentian quietly approached the source of the voice.
He executed the movement technique that he had just finished mastering lately, "Sky Air Movement Technique".
The movement does not produce any sound or the air fluctuations around him, so he can freely move toward the sound source and unnoticed by another party.
Getting closer, he climbed through the air and landed on a large tree branch to monitor his prey.
He concentrated his sight on the source of the voice coming from. It was painted in his eyes that there was a gorgeous and delicate woman in bright yellow and long loose hair to her waist, the other one was a young man in violet clothed carried a sheathed sword on his back.
"Xuan'er, I really have the map, look!" the young man pulled out a map from his pocket space and showed it to the woman.
A map is drawn on a sheet of paper, a thin unwoven material made from milled plant fibers. The map depicts the entire terrain of the Purple Swan Mountain range including the direction to the cliff they are headed.
Chu Xuan'er looked at the map in the young man's hand, her eyes glinting shiny without blinking as she had determined something. She just nodded without giving a single word that indicated she had believed his words.
The young man was relieved that Chu Xuan'er did not doubt him anymore.
After all, for the sake of this woman, he is willing to do what he shouldn't do.
He sacrificed his own sibling who always loved and adores him in order to steal this map from the Clan's Treasury. As the result, his sibling's right hand was crippled and he was exiled from the Clan.
Even though his sibling tried to revolt by telling the truth, the clan would not trust him anymore because the talent he had was far inferior to him.
Even though the sibling only 'stole' a map, the Clan did not give a second chance at all. After all, Stealing is still stealing, that is a bad example for other descendants.
The Clan places great importance on descendant who has greater talent. The Clan will not feel the loss even if it loses one or two inferiors.
In the end, he approached his sibling who was kneeling in front of the clan's entrance gate and said, "Brother, forgive me, I love her so much, therefore, I have no choice. I promise I will pick you back to the Clan."
Before the incident happened, the young man was found out that the woman he was extremely fond of was in dire need of Purple Order Grass because of the rapid progress of her cultivation.
That woman was none other than Chu Xuan'er.
The young man knew, even though Chu Xuan'er was born into a poor family, her talent was the same as him.
Besides being naturally beautiful and talented, he still could feel the tenderness and kindness of Chu Xuan'er without any air of arrogance.
Many men fell in love with her and chased her, one of them was him.
Therefore, this was an opportunity for him to leave an impression on Chu Xuan'er.
Initially, he intended to directly steal the Purple Order Grass from his Clan, but he did not want to imagine if the woman he was fond of knowing that the Purple Order Grass was the result of stealing from his Clan.
From the look of her honesty and tenderness, he was afraid that Chu Xuan'er would be angry with him because the gift from him was actually stolen fruit.
Therefore, he stole a map about the growth of the Purple Order Grass and helped her find it, rather than steal the Purple Order Grass.
No matter what, he had to make Chu Xuan'er pleased first.
...
Meanwhile, someone who stalked them from a thick tree branch, his expression brightened as his gaze landed on the map in the young man's hand. This person was Xuanyuan Wentian.
He knew nothing about the origin of the map. Furthermore, he did not know those two people even he didn't care about them at all.
Only one thing he cared about when he saw them both, it was the map in the hands of the young man.
Even so, he did not intend to steal the map from their hands. All he needed was the location, not the map.
In other words, Xuanyuan Wentian only needed to follow them from behind as they were leading him in the direction he wanted to go.
The road is so bright for me! He thought in the heart.
...
After all the time the two of them walked, they finally reached their destination.
They look at the cliff. The geology of the cliff is formed from vertical natural stone walls that are not too steep.
"Xuan'er you can wait here, I will pluck the Purple Order Grass for you" the young man smiled as he was initiating himself to please Chu Xuan'er.
"Si Dao, I can pick it by myself" Chu Xuan'er replied nonchalantly as she did not really care about Si Dao's intentions
It turned out that the young man named was Si Dao, he still insisted on wanting to help Chu Xuan'er, so, his impression would increase in the eyes of the woman in front of him.
Seeing the young man who insisted on helping her, Chu Xuan'er finally nodded.
Si Dao climbed down the cliff to pick the Purple Order Grass.
After a while, he reappeared with a Purple Order Grass in his hand. As the name Spiritual Medicine itself, the grass is purple and has thick black roots.
Si Dao smiled towards Chu Xuan'er and handed her the Purple Order Grass.
"Thank you" Chu Xuan'er muttered in a low voice.
She desperately needed the Purple Order Grass to stabilize her foundation. However, her family is poor, therefore they were unable to buy this Spiritual Medicine, let alone look for it themselves.
Even though she didn't know about the origin of the map in the hands of Si Dao, she still felt grateful and indebted to him.
"You are welcome" Si Dao was very excited to hear the word thank you from Chu Xuan'er's mouth, finally his sacrifice paid off.
Although he still felt guilty about his brother, as long as Chu Xuan'er was satisfied with him then that's it.
He will repay his brother sooner or later after all.
Afterward, they leave the cliff.
A silver masked person's figure appeared just after they moved away from this location.
He watched the pair from beginning to the end, even though he didn't hear their conversation, he could still analyze the situation when they were together just now.
"What a lovey-dovey couple!" he pouted at the couple's intimacy.
Then his head turned and looked toward the cliff where the Purple Order Grass was, he smiled as he found it effortlessly.
