To the Snow Wind Family.

Glory City, Snow Wind Orphanage

Ye Shuo keeps looking at Han with keen interest, as he had once heard Han mumbling about needing some time to finishing something important, since then he had already delayed the matter of bringing Han to the city lords mansion by 6 months, since he had already reported the matter regarding Han to the City Lord and other higher ups of the snow wind family they had and ordered him to bring the child back with him as soon as possible, as it would be painful blowing if the dark guild were to find out about him and take action, however Ye Shuo had managed to delay the matter by 6 months and now that the time period that the child needed has finially passed he cannot help but have some anticipation arise from the bottom of his heart, however he was bound to be disappointed as Hans next words broke all the hope and expectations he had.

"Now that I have finished everything for the time being I can finally go to the alchemist association!"

Upon hearing this a dumfounded Ye Shuo cannot help but shout out aloud "Y-y-y-y-You waited for all this time so that he could go to the alchemist association!! What the hell have I been doing by wasting the past six months for then, if its just the alchemy association I could have taken you there long ago."

While Han did mumble about going to the alchemist association deep down in his heart he had been also been thinking of something else which was;

'As per my estimations in the original story the city lord only adopts me some time after I turn 9, that is to be precise after the death of his wife the city mayoress, so in the next two years if I do plan on saving her I need to at least build my reputation up a bit and gain enough trust to be called by the elders of the Snow Wind family to save her when the incident happens.The math is simple; the lady lives = She might have a second kid = next city confirmed = I'm free to do what I want, when I want, how I want =A big harem full of beauties =A nice Blissful Sexual life = Everyone is happy.'

'As for building my reputation up, what better way than the alchemist association to get the job done, just like what the old monster did, it is also a good idea to sell pills and earn money while strengthening the city, then the next part is finding partners I can trust. President Gu seems to be a good option but sadly Yang Xin should only be an upcoming Junior Alchemist master currently as she has yet to pass the test ment for Junior Alchemists to get promoted to Senior/Master Alchemists, it was only after passing that test did she have her talent's recognised, currently she should have just became President Gu's disciple. Hence this situation only leaves me with Gu Yan whom I can approach, that old foggy isn't a death seeker. *Sigh* Looks like I might have to rely on him for a lot more than what Nei Li did.'

Suddenly Han hears an angry shout and a person cursing the past 16 generation's of his ancestries for wasting his time. Caught off guard Han cannot help have chilling sensation come from his spine.

Someone has had managed to get so close to him without having him realise it. An expert that is the first thought that came into Hans mind.

After a moment passes there is pin drop silence in the room as neither of the party seems to be speaking as they continue to look at each other one confused child and one furious man, waiting for the other party to say something, Han has simply freaked out as he was caught off guard while Ye Shuo is simpy cursing himself for messing up and hopes he doesn't scare Han to the point to which he would choose not to follow him back to the Snow Wind Family.

After a a few minutes have passed the grey robbed elder finally speaks breaking the silence; "So aren't you going to say something kid ?"

Listening to the grey robbed mans words which does not contain any hostility Han manages to calm down as he replies "Esteemed elder what can I do for you, if you are need of directions I can point you the way if I know of the destination you seek off, if you are looking for someone I might be able to tell you where to find them if I know who they are. "

Looking at the kid acting extremely politely without any fear Ye Shuo lets go off his worries as he has a feeling that he should get away from this child as soon as possible and hence he makes his decision at lighting speed.

"Kid pack your belongings and say whatever good byes you need to tomorrow morning someone will escort you to the city lords mansion."

Since he has finished speaking to Han, Ye Shuo believes it would be better if he ends his break and goes back to continue his job of looking for talented individuals to recruit and gather more information related to the Dark Guilds spies, he should look into the Demon Beasts movements while he's at it, killing any demon beast who grows beyond a certain realm or grows too fast, this method would help the experts from various families to protect the Glory city in a much more relaxed and easier way.

After thinking of this the grey reobed calms down and without waiting for any reaction or reply from Han, he quickly disappears within a second, it was so quick that he disappeared as if he was never here only leaving behind a dumbfounded Han.

...

While at the same time in another part of Glory city.

Glory City, City Lords Mansion

A man roughly around 30 years old can be seen sitting on a desk, he has a healthy and a well build body while some muscles around his arms can be seen bulging out of the blueish-purple coloured clothes that he is currently wearing. He has pair to purple eye which once appeared to be clear and bright, however now they seem to show some signs of fatigue and exhaustion, his face however still stays expressionless yet strict as he continues to listen to various reports.

"Reporting to the city lord, I have finished finding out about the book that Ye Shuo had previously mentioned about, from what we have found out the book is called the book of Divine Lightning Flames, the Scarlet Sunburst Pattern and a few other inscription patterns that the sacred family had recently proclaimed to have been created by their ancestors starting from the their founding ancestor seems to have been copied and plagiarized from this book. What makes matters worse is that they have been using these inscriptions to help increase their influence and fame throughout Glory city recently.

Listening to these words Ye Zong the current city lord of glory city cannot help but let of a tired groan then he proceeds to let out a sigh, this matter regarding the inscription patterns is an extremely scandalous matter, Shen Hong the newly appointed patriarch of the Sacred Family is a demon spiritualist whose talents were comparable to himself and so was his cultivation, both of them had managed to reach Black Gold rank 4 around the same time the only difference being Ye Zing was 25 while Shen Hong was 32 when they broke through to black gold rank 1, in Ye Zongs opinion both of them are very important to Glory city's future and safety as both of them have a very good chance to have a breakthrouh and reach the legend realm.

Sadly for Ye Zong, Shen Hong never got along with him no matter how hard he tried, Shen Hong had tried to challenge him for everything he wanted and tried to beat him in everything he could, be it for the hand of his love of his life current wife Chen Mifu the princess of the Divine family or be it for the position of acting city lord, heck Shen Hong went as far as going to challenge even for his demon spirit the demon spirit his grandfather hunted down for him, Shen Hong ended up challenging every time he could and for everything he could challenge him for, sadly for Shen Hing he almost never won and ended up almost the same every time, i.e. with the winner being him Ye Zong aomost every time. This situation continued until the previous city lord who was a member of the snow wind family as well his Uncle decided to go into closed door cultivation recently leaving the position of the City Lord temporary vacant, following his uncle's entry into closed door cultivation the elders of the snow wind family chose him to succeed the position for acting city lord as he was the best possible choice among everyone who was a part of Glory city to take up the position. He Ye Zong hsd mostly choosen to ignore Shen Hong altogether as not only is he stronger than Shen Hong, he is better in almost every other aspect if and when the two of them are compared, not to mention that he has no interest in destroying the Sacred family nor destroying Shen Hong, even if chose to do so he believes this senseless conflict where the only one to suffer a loss is the Glory City and its citizens if the two of them escalate their confrontation.

Since he had succeeded the role of acting city lord recently Shen Hong suddenly calmed down ("Probably for the good he hoped."), while the sacred family started having a lot of changes in how they behave, they have stared showing signs in attacking the businesses of other families, their members have been acting without any restraints and more importantly they have started to do any and everything they can to gain public fame and increase their reputation, they have been publicly making proclamation on how they and their ancestors have been creating inscription patterns and helped protect Glory City, which now appear to have simply been a ruse as those inscription patterns were simply plagiarized.

As he gets lost in his own thoughts Ye Zong hears the final portion of the report this catches his attention ;

"Lord Ye Zong as per Ye Shuo's final report he plans on bringing a child back to the Snow Wind family within a day or two and wishes for him to be taught directly by a black gold ranked expert of the Snow Wind family, he also has gained various other ideas after observing the child which might help in boosting the strength of the guards and various other fighters and demon spiritualists."

Ye Zong at the beginning got confused as to what Ye Shuo seems to be thinking when he requested the kid to be taught personally by master whose cultivation is at the very peak in the city, howeve before his curiosity got the better of him he heard the last part of the report and his eye immediately lit up as soon as he heard the words "Raising the strength of the guard's and a few demon spiritualists," anything which can raise the strength of Glory City will always be welcomed with open arms as long the city becomes stronger it becomes safer for everyone who lives in it, hence he cannot help but ask about the what inspiration Ye Shuo has had forgetting the demand for Hans teacher far behind.

Looking at Ye Zong expression the elder has wry smile on his face as he continues to speak: "Respected city lord according to Ye Shuo having the guards stay and train in an environment with additional gravity will greatly help improve their strength, since we cannot setup such an array at this very moment we can have the guards wear and train in weighted clothes the greater their strength the heavier the weights this should help them improve their physical strength at a faster rate."

After thinking for a while Ye Zong cannot find anything wrong with this idea, in fact he finds it very practical, so far the only thing the guards can do increase their stength so far was taking elixers which do not seem to have much of an effect, or they can be seen swinging their swords and exercising day and night however if this idea related to a gravitational inscription pattern provided by Ye Shuo does indeed add as much weight that it claimed many of the fighter should be able to rank up quickly and this idea might even help some of them pass their bottleneck, since most of the fighters are already silver ranked who knows after a decade most of them should reach gold rank, some might even reach black gold rank. Thinking of this Ye Zongs eye's have a sudden glow and now appear to be full of energy, no longer appearing to be as exhausted as they were some time ago.
