Past days...
In the Village of Yin.
Yin Long and Dong Han was sitting beside each other in a bench beside a tree.
"Yin Long you are already Rank 8, why not meet Hua Xinci?" Dong Han lifts his head and questioned Yin Long.
Yin Long laughs.
"Yes, why not? I would like to see my daughter." Yin Long stands up.
"Oh? Finally, going to Raging Flow Sect?" Dong Han gaze at Yin Long eyes.
Yin Long smiled and walks away.
"I'm going back again... Hm, what is the condition of my son? Anyway, he live all by himself." Yin Long waved his hands as he laughs.
At the present.
Yin Long was walking in the spectator's seat.
He saw Yin zu was on the tight spot.
He smiles.
Then, he questioned one of the audiences.
"What battle are we in?" Yin Long asked.
"Yin Zu versus Jin Gu Fong! The battle for the first place!" The man that was questioned was seemed to be hyped.
"Thank you!" Yin Long smiles and walked to the empty seat.
He was evidently Rank 8, which he achieved days ago.
Reaching Rank 9 is one of the troublesome.
For the condition.
Needed to reach Rank 8.
Needed 9 Rank 8 Spirit Totems.
And the hidden condition that was only exclusive in each Spirit Vassal.
The condition is hard to grasp.
Yin Long is on his peek.
At the arena where Yin Zu and Jin Gu Fong were fighting.
Yin Zu was in a tight spot in a battle between him and Jin Gu Fong.
Jin Gu Fong was only standing while holding his Dragon Spear.
His Dragon Spear was made of Dragon's Bone and the blade was made of Dragon's teeth.
"Truly, the power of the Thousand Myriads Body." Yin Zu mumbles.
He was breathing hard but he has no scratch in his body because he is dodging like a smoke being hit by a hand.
Yin Zu is a slippery fellow.
'Should I surrender?' Yin Zu thought.
"Why not surrender?" Jin Gu Fong shouts and pointed his spear at Yin Zu.
Then a voice heard from afar.
"Yeah! Surrender!" Yin Long stands and shouts.
Yin Zu was familiar on the voice and shifts his head at the voice origin.
He saw Yin Long was smiling and waving.
"You unsupportive father!" Yin Zu clench his jaws and shouts as a response.
"Hahaha! Weak son!" Yin Long laughs.
The elites saw Yin Long and was startled.
"Yin Long is back..." Hua Xinci mumbles.
Hua An heard her and throws a question.
"Mother, do you know him? I was familiar to that name but not remember why..." Hua An asked.
"He is..." Hua Xinci can't say.
She was afraid that her father is standing and can be seen here.
"You will know anytime soon..." Hua Xinci pats the head of her daughter, Hua An.
"I'm waiting!" Hua An hugs her mother.
Then, Hua An was called out by Dong Yun and Rei Xin to join them in seats.
"Mother, I was called by Dong Yun and Rei Xin! Should I join?" Hua An meekly asked her mother.
"Of course, you can." Hua Xinci let go of her daughter and offers a wave.
Then, she stopped and caught into thinking.
'Why was Yin Long was here, all of the time? Maybe he reached...' Hua Xinci has a second thought.
At the arena.
Yin Zu can't dodge anymore.
And at the swing of the Dragon Spear that points at Yin Zu.
"I surrender!" Yin Zu heaved a long sigh.
Jin Gu Fong laughs as he pat the shoulder of Yin Zu.
"You are a good fighter! If you did your best maybe we are going to last about an hour or 2! Let's fight again sometime." Jin Gu Fong radiantly smiles.
"Tsk, you only lucky." Yin Zu flick the hands of Jin Gu Fong and shift backward, moving and walking forward.
'Interesting man...' Jin Gu Fong thought.
"Anyway, I'm the winner!" Jin Gu Fong shouts as he raise the Dragon Spear.
Then, Yin Long shouts suddenly.
"Haha! My son is indeed weak!" Yin Long laughs as he leaves his seat.
The audience has a bad impression against Yin Long.
"What's up with him?"
"I've never seen a father that is not supportive to his son."
"I'm disappointed to that father."
"His son fights really great though..."
...
Dong Yun saw Yin Long and remembered that his father tells him that Yin Long's father was Rank 7.
"Yin Long, the father of Yin Zu." Dong Yun mumbles.
Rei Xin heard and blatantly asked.
"Really? He is the father of Yin Zu named Yin Long? My father says he is one of the greatest elders in our Village Yin! He also reached Rank 8, recently!" Rei Xin spouts.
"Rank 8!?" Dong Yun was shocked.
"Yes, also Yin Zu is a Rank 4 Spirit Vessel that was confirmed by his own father before leaving our village." Rei Xin is indeed has the latest news for the Yin Village but does not tell Dong Yun because she often forgets and she was quiet.
Irony, indeed.
Hua An was quite amazed and was quiet when Rei Xin and Dong Yun interact.
At the tree outside the stadium.
Yin Zu was sleeping still.
Then, he noticed that a familiar man approached him.
"Son, were you affected? No?" Yin Long asked as he opens his Rank 6 Storage Pouch.
"No and Yes, what is the stranger doing here?" Yin Zu responds.
"To meet your mother of course!" Yin Long stands proud.
"Then goodluck!" Yin Zu jumps down,landing at the ground, and walks away.
"I will treat it as compliment." Yin Long smiles and started to walk forward.
At the household of Hua.
Hua Xinci is walking with her daughter, Hua An.
Then, they saw maidens waiting for them.
"Lord Patriarch is waiting for your audience, please accept." The maidens were sync and wearing kimono, same pattern blue butterfly.
They were adopted by the Patriarch when they were 4 year old in the Far East Continent.
Until now, they wear kimono that is the traditional wearing of Far East Continent.
"Hua An, I think you will meet your father." Hua Xinci calmly said to her daughter, Hua An, while walking in the stone road.
They entered and saw the Patriarch was waiting for them with a man.
The Patriarch has a white grown beard and hair.
His skin is quite young.
His appearance is youngish but in truth, he is an oldman.
The Patriarch was joyful.
Also, the man.
He was Yin Long.
Seeing Hua Xinci and Hua An, the Patriarch offers them to sit.
"As you can see, Yin Long has reached Rank 8! Then, his exile will be negated! Haha, that fools in the past think my Yin Long can't reach Rank 8!" The Patriarch laughs.
Hua An was staring straight to her "father" that appeared 14 years later.
Hua Xinci pats the head of Hua An and said that...
"He is your true father, the prodigy that reached Rank 8 at young age." Hua Xinci smiles.
Then, Yin Long walks near them.
He kneels.
Then, he hugs his mother daughter while crying.
"I'm back." Yin Long cries.
"Yes, Yin Long. No, Hua Zhu. Welcome back..." Hua Xinci responds as she hugs Hua Zhu back.
Hua An was quite dizzy to the event happened.
