Edge of the Hell Forrest -

Bai Zhi was venting his anger at a huge bolder beside him while cursing at his luck for encountering an expert on the mission. Rather than making the expert not interfere, the expert actually made them retreat. He also tried to use his clan name but what the expert did make it look like that their face was slapped by actually taking Lin Mei under his protection.

"What do we do now elder Zhi?"(Bai Qui)

"What do we do now, who knew that an expert would appear out of thin air and completely destroy our plan and he was at least an emperor rank person beside with my cultivation base, I couldn't sense his power."(Bai Zhi)

"Yea, its the same with me. It looks like only the grand elder and patriarchs of our clans can do something about it. So let's report back for now. We must have that blue stone from her to boost our clan's powers."(Lin Zen)

"Ok then let's go back first and report about it."(Bai Zhi)

Back to Tian Chen -

After he was done with all this, he noticed Lin Mei's fingers moved. After which she slowly opened her eyes and sat straight while staring at him with confused eyes, she was staring at him while being dazed by the thought that the person in front of her seemed familiar.

After a moment she came to a sudden realization. While he is thought about why she was staring at him. And, as he was about to speak, her voice sounded as she made bowed a little.

"Th-thank You very much for helping me!"(Lin Mei)

"Your Welcome Lin Mei, but why were they attacking you?" (Tian Chen)

He said in a kind tone while giving off a kind aura while she was stunned as she spoke...

"Ah, that was because of the Aqua essence.....Wait! How do you know my name?!" (Lin Mei)

"Well...That's because of a special ability that allows me to tell who is who and what is what. By the way, although I want to know your story you should go wash the blood off of you first. There is a river north of here which is about 200 m away from here. And I'm Tian Chen."(Tian Chen)

"Ah, Ok. Thank you very much once again and I'm Lin Mei. Oh, I forgot that you already know. So I will go right away."(Lin Mei)

After the small exchange of words, he stayed right there and thought of keeping guard until she came back. She then went to the river and cleaned herself up while changing into a new set of clothes. Which came from her storage ring and after she was done, she started walking back to where he was keeping guard.

Although Lin Mei was feeling a bit strange while thinking on how to speak to Tian Chen, but when she thought of his kind tone when they spoke earlier, she felt relieved that he meant no Harm and remembered that he was the one who saved him. And soon she saw his figure standing in front of her as she came to where he was.

Although she did not pay much attention to his looks earlier, was now looking at him while being in a daze and had stunned expression because of his silver hair and grey eyes while remembering that them being silver back when he saved her. But she still couldn't see his whole face because of a mask which only hid his lower part of the face.

He looked really cool even though she could only see half of his face. But she soon became aware of her own expression and quickly changed it back to her refined lady form with a 'Noble' aura but after that, it was his turn to be stunned and dazed as he stared at her beautiful face which was even more beautiful due to her having no more blood stains on her.

She had long black hair which was as dark as night, long and slender legs with a slender waist and skin which was as smooth as jade and her skin color which was as white as the moon.

She understood what he was doing and she 'coughed' awkwardly to make him snap out of his thoughts which made 'him' realize what he was doing and changed back to his own refined form.

As she saw this, she too was able to feel his refined 'Noble' aura which was something she was well informed about something like this as someone from a powerful Clan. She then opened her mouth to speak. But as she was about to say something, he spoke.

"You look really beautiful and the most beautiful one I have ever seen."(Tian Chen)

Hearing this, she blushed a little as this was a bit too sudden while saying...

"Y-you! w-what are you saying?! A-anyway thank you very much once again for helping me out earlier. But I somehow don't feel pain, How is this possible?"(Lin Mei)

"Hmm? Oh that? I just fed you a healing pill, That's all. Anyway, although it might be sudden, but why were they attacking you? And how do you have an Aqua essence? And also, out of the 6 people who attacked you, why were there 5 Bai Clan Elders and one Lin Clan Elder there? I would like to know everything about and help you as well. So do tell me please." (Tian Chen)

"Since you have helped me earlier, I will tell you the reason but why do you say you wanna help me? And is it true that there was a clan Elder of the Lin clan there?!"(Lin Mei)

"Hmm, Answering with a question, is it? Oh well, it is true that there was an elder of your clan named Lin Zen there and as to why I wanna help you, I'll tell you as long as you tell me why all this happened. Fair enough?" (Tian Chen)

"Elder Zen!? W-why was he here?! Hmm, is it because of the essence maybe? I don't know but I will tell you on behalf of helping me out earlier. Well...It all started a month ago..... (Lin Mei)
