24 Chapter 24: Waiting for girl to become mine.
When the man in front of her disappeared, Yi Nan didn't know what to think.
That man guessed her strength, her motive, and even her origin that she was told many times to keep secret.
Troubled, she exited the guild. She remembered the last words of the man: 'find me, it shouldn't be too difficult'.
'It's probably a test to know if I have the capabilities.' She hypothesized.
'if so, he should have given me some clue.'
She then resumed what she knows.
- A man nearly twenty years old.
- He lives in this city.
- He had awakened is Inherent Skill or even contracted a grimoire.
- He has a skill that can see the strength of others and another who hide, one of them is his Inherent skill...probably.
- Even with his skill, he hides his face so he wants to pass unremarked, maybe he is famous in the city?
- He was out of the city for some times and as he just sees me, today is the day he got back.
Finishing listing what she knows, she contacted an informant but the answer was not what she thought.
"Sorry miss, but the only man who his nearly 20 years old who had a grimoire in this city is the Yue Clan Third Young Master, who contracted it 5 months ago.
As for the one who awakened an inherent skill, I don't know any."
She was dispirited, she thought that someone so impressive would have some of his data leaked but now...
'With his concealment skill, he should be an assassain...he tell himself that its perfect for...but the assassin Guild will not give any information. What now? He is a young man... maybe the prostitutes will know something.'
As she thought the last sentence, Yi Nan blushed a little.
She then goes to a brothel near the entrance of the city and after, discreetly, booking a 'worker' she questioned if a young man has entered the city today as she showed the handmade portrait of him she has done on the road.
"Sorry young miss, but the only one who look like this is the Yue Clan third young master. He entered the city this afternoon with two beautiful young ladies, hand in hand. Because of those two, many establishments are full this night."
Depressed she walked away.
'Why did all my clue point to him? Could it be...it's him? But then all we know about him is wrong? But why did he end his engagement with sister Wu Xia?'
The more she thought about this, the more her head hurt.
'Maybe I should just go and see. If it's really him then...'
But he was already midnight and she doesn't want to see things she shouldn't, by going there in the middle of the night. She then returned to her inn to sleep.

The next morning, hidden in the shadow she approached the residence and observed from a distance, in higher ground, what was going on inside.
There she sees one man, one little girl, and two women playing in the garden.
The little girl was playing ball with the lady in red as the man and the woman dressed in a black armor were in intimate position.
Seeing the woman sitting on in laps, she blushed, mostly when they kissed.
'How shameless to do that in front of a kid.' she says in her mind with a hint of envy.
What she didn't know what that the lady in red, was her too jealous of their relationship.
She observed them for nearly one hour as their activities changed. Some times Yue Yang played with the little girl so that the two girls can talk between themselves or it's what it's appeared from afar.
In reality, Jiang Ying taught Red to talk the language of the Soaring Dragon Continent.
Her progress wasn't too much but she was serious and concentrated as each time she learned a new word, Yue Yang complimented her and recommended her with a petting on her head, move she liked very much.
Watching their happy times like a family, Yi Nan couldn't stop being jealous of them as she remembered her parents.
Suddenly her moist eyes let a tear fall down and when she wiped it, she sensed a glance on her.
Turning toward the source, she discovered Yue Yang who looked at her, sympathy on his face.
'He knew I was here all this time!'
He then nodded to her, telling her to come.
