Liu Zheng trained with sect master and then at night with both zangetsu and old man to consolidate his new found strength.
Next morning he went to the contribution hall to go meet Sister Xia again and take the items he requested but only found Treasurer meng.
"Is Sister Xia not here?" Liu zheng asked him.
"What do you want to do with my disciple you brat? Didn't you only want some items from her? They are over there. Take them and go away" He said to Liu Zheng looking at me like i hadn't paid his rent for 6 months.
"Well, I am going to be leaving Sect for a while so i need to meet sister Xia before i go." He tried to stay calm with his future master in law. Making a bad relationship with him will cause many problems.
"You can go to hell if you want just leave my disciple alone." He maintained his expression and said to Liu Zheng but suddenly Sister Xia came in from the other door hurriedly.
"Wh-Where are you leaving for Junior brother? Is it a long journey?" She asked with concern which made treasurer meng even more irritated.
"I am only leaving for a few months and it is just to gain some outside experience, nothing more. I can just stay couped up here and expect to grow so you don't need to be concerned." He said trying to not making her worry.
"T-then i will go with yo--"
"ABSOLUTELY NOT! YOU ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE WITH THIS SCROUNDEL!" treasurer meng said in a loud voice clearly being angry at him for misleading her disciple.
"B-But mast-"
"No. Absolutely not. Even your childish look won't make me change my mind. " He remained stern on his decision.
"Why don't you try that childish face on me Sister Xia. I might change my mind." Liu Zheng said as he got a littler closer to her face.
"Ju-Junior brother!" She exclaimed as she hid her red face and turned around.
"You brat acting like I am not even here. Either you leave on your own or I am sending to who knows where." Treasurer meng said with a vein popping on his forehead.
"Fine, Fine. Sister Xia could you help take these to my room?" Liu Zheng politely asked Xia Ning Chang.
"Why do you nee--"
"Yes, junior brother, i will help." She interrupted her master and replied as she quickly picked few of the books and left the contribution hall
Liu Zheng followed her after picked up the small cauldron and the rest of the books leaving treasurer meng whining there alone.
They delivered the things in his room and Liu Zheng asked a few things to her about alchemy and spirit arrays among other things which continued till evening and it was finally time to leave.
"Then I will be taking my leave junior brother." Xia Ning Chang said with a sad look on her face.
Seeing her looking sad like this Liu Zheng thought of something interesting to lighten up the mood.
He took her right hand in his hand, lowered his head down and kissed her hand lightly and said "You don't need to worry Sister Xia, i won't do anything dangerous and return to you as soon as possible."
Steam rose from her head and she was left speechless.
"P-p-p-please k-k-keep yourwordjuniorbrother!" She said in a hurry and vanished from his sight so fast that even the sharingan couldn't keep up.
Liu Zheng just smiled thinking that at least his gesture had a positive reaction and things are going smoothly with Sister Xia.
He went back to his house, ate some food and decided to rest for the night to leave early morning tomorrow.
The night passed, the sun rose and Liu Zheng was ready to finally go and find one of the two most broken artifacts in the whole verse.
He reached sect gate and activated his sharingan, searched around for something and finally found it.
He waved at Sister Xia bidding her farewell which surprised her because she was watching from quite far on a tree branch but she waved back at him.
Liu Zheng used hirenkyaku to "fly" in the air and searched for the nearest city. After looking for about an hour he found one where landed some distance away from the city entrance.
He went inside the city and talked to a few people to ask about any kind of government/managing sect office nearby eventually leading him to find one.
Liu Zheng arrived at the gate where one of the guards who was initial element realm stopped him and said "Who are you? Do you have the permission to meet the City lord?"
"I am your father and now let me in." He replied as he activated the sharingan and put both of them under hypnosis.
"Please go in father, i will stand guard here to ensure your safety" said the guard as he and his fellow made way for him.
Liu Zheng didn't want to deal with trouble so kept the sharingan on and made all the guards and maids on the way to the city lord's room under hypnosis and kept walking till he reached the door, opened it and put all the people inside the room including the city lord under hypnosis as well and ordered them them to to get all the information about the locally known to prominent families in the 500 km radius and the forces they are affiliated with especially those who appear to be shady.
He sat on the city lords chair going through the books about the herbs which he took out of the dimensional bag (from sect master) with his sharingan to begin memorising about all of them as everyone else in room found information he requested.
After 3 hours Liu Zheng finished reading about all of the herbs from ordinary grade to mysterious grade which were present in the book and his request was completed as well.
He took the 10 page long list which the city lord and his subordinates prepared and went through it and after a few minutes he finally found it the name which he couldn't really recall and had to politely ask the city lord for help.
"Thank you City Long Cao. You have helped me a lot. I will be sure to tell nobody about your diligence and righteousness."
"Haha, It's my honour to help you Sir. Be sure to remember me whenever you need any kind of help." The city lord said with a happy face as Liu Zheng left the room from the window and used hirenkyaku to fly away.
The name he forgot was the Miao and Jiang family also the sect named Crimson cloud sect.
He flew there with top speed and reached the next morning.
This time Liu Zheng wasn't in a mood to chat so he put on a mask, activated his sharingan and put the guards on the front gate to sleep. He went inside and continued to put all the maids, guards and family members to sleep as only a few were separation and reunion realm and to those he simply used the old fashioned neck hitting method and made them unconscious.
"WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING INSIDE THE MIAO FAMILY'S HOUSEHOLD?" a fatty came in front of Liu Zheng which was probably the family head shouting at him for making a scene inside his house.
"I Am Madara Uchiha." Liu Zheng said in a very deep voice which made the miao family head scared and confused but before he could say anything he was knocked unconscious.
Liu Zheng made sure to erase everyone's memory as he walked and now he blocked the meridians of all the Separation and reunion experts with seals, tied them up and put them in the room beside the family head's room and dragged the family head to his room.
He found a bucket full of water in the garden and poured all of it on the Miao guy.
