New World

Long Tian's POV:

When we exited the portal, we were facing a land so beautiful. It was with bountiful nature and adequate sunshine to irradiate the lands. The green mountain with fresh air and white clouds drifting in the sky gave a scenery of serenity. The energy in this area was ample enough to maintain the scenery. Metis traveled around the trees, tracing the leaves and river water, enjoying the scenery. Her lips shifted upwards, forming a tender smile. We all then had our share of fun, enjoying the scenery. After an hour of enjoyment, I started to sense any presence of human beings in this area.

When I released my observation haki, I was able to sense the presence of 4 people in a small hut. One was on the bed, injured. A small male was hitting a log pole. A mature woman was cooking, and a small girl was bringing some herbs. The male was around 30, and the boy was around 13. The girl is around 10 and the age of the woman was around the same as the male. The male came out of his bed and observed the boy's training. Seeing that it was a chance, we went to meet them. Also, we all were at the age of 16.

Soon, we were sensed by the man, who changed his expression to seriousness. We turned our cultivation level to the full circle of Yuan Dan. Presperiations were falling out of this man, but he was resolute. The woman and the girl came out to check things out. I also sense something within the palm of the male kid. Something mysterious hidden within that palm. But I know exactly what that is. It was cute to see that the kid making a serious gesture. We went to them, walking at a normal pace. The male looked at us and asked, "Who are you and where are you from?". His tone has a wariness in it.

I looked at him, with a hint of respect in it. Not because of power, but his commitment to his family. I cupped my hands together and said, "Respected sir, my name is Long Tian and these are my colleagues Xiao Ning'er, Long Yuyin, and Metis. We are from the lands beyond the Xuan region. We are here to temper ourselves. May we ask, where is this place?". The male was shocked to hear that we were from outer regions and deciding that were weren't lying, he cupped his hands and said, "Welcome fellow cultivators, my name is Lin Xiao and this is my humble abode. This is my wife, Liu Yuan, and my daughter Qing Tan and this is my pride, my son Lin Dong.

The place is one of town under the Xuan region, Qingyang Town. Here there are three major families, namely Lin, Lie, and Xie clans. Our family is of Lin family. Our clan head is Lin Zhentian.". I looked at him and said, "Is that so? Thank you for the information and greeting to madame Yuan, little Tan, and little Dong. Is this Lin family from the capital?". Hearing this all of them became sad. Lin Xiao and Lin Dong had their fists clenched. I looked at them apologetically and said, "I apologize, it seems I brought some bad memories.".

Lin Xiao immediately shook his heads, "Please don't be. You guys don't know the circumstances. Welcome to our humble abode. You can rest here for a while since you guys were traveling.". I said, "We then thank you for your hospitality.". Both kids were enthusiastic about the outside world. I gave them some vague explanations and some realms in cultivation. We then mingled with the family and had some lunch with them.

It was then Metis said, "It seems you have suffered some internal injury. May I know the reason?". The entire house became sad and it was Lin Dong who answered it. He said, "It was Lin Longtian who did this. He defeated my father and humiliated him. He injured my father.". His tone was laced with venom. Metis looked at him and said, "Is that so?". I looked at Lin Xiao and said, "Since you guys gave us food and shelter. I will cure your internal injuries. It is somewhat we can do for your hospitality.".

All of them were shocked. Lin Xiao was shaking and he asked, "C-can you do it? Can you really heal my wounds? Please help me. I will be in your debt". It was Xiao Ning'er who answered it. She said, "Our Long Tian is a renowned healer. He can heal most of the wounds. Your internal injuries are very easy to heal. No worries. You guys don't need to be anxious. This is our way to repay your hospitality.". I then went to him and kept my hand on his chest. A white glow appeared in my hand and started to heal his injuries, and making him reach his original cultivation.

Within a few minutes, his cultivation rose from Earthy Yuan to the Heavenly Yuan realm. He was first shocked, but then he was tearing out of happiness. He immediately lifted his wife, swirling around, shouting, "I am healed, I am really healed. I am back to my peak strength.". Liu Yuan was slightly embarrassed but she too was happy that her husband was cured. Both children had tears in their eyes and Lin Dong had gratitude towards us. I was slightly sad that some people need to be matured faster due to certain conditions.

Both of them came from their stupor when Long Yuyin gave a cough. Both husband and wife froze and flushed a deep red. Lin Xiao immediately apologized to which I replied, "It is understandable. You were suffering from injuries and humiliation from your family members. But now, you were cured and back to prime, thus regaining your honor. Hence you were happy.". He then said, "Is there anything we can do for you?". Lin Dong rose from his seat and bowed towards us, saying, "I, Lin Dong am grateful for your help. Anything you need, I will fulfill, even at the cost of my life.".
