"Claim"

"Why are you following me? Shouldn't you be in bed?"

"It's boring to be in that place alone, and it's scary," Zhao Syaoran said walking along Long Tian's side.

Two days had passed and Zhao Syaoran was already walking around following Long Tian again wherever he went.

Although Long Tian was not used to it, he quickly got used to the presence of Zhao Syaoran.

In a way, it was nice to have someone like him with whom he could spend the day after so long.

"Scary how?"

"You know, although this house has a relative number of servants, almost no one will see me in my courtyard, I feel lonely." Zhao Syaoran pouted.

"Well, we never have visitors, so no one uses the guest yard, it just happens." Long Tian said. "And how are you feeling? Are you sure you should be walking around like this?"

"Do you already want to get rid of me?! So I'm sad."

They then arrived at the Long Tian Courtyard.

"You got bad injuries, so it surprises me that you're walking around well."

"The doctor said I have a great recovery, although the impact seemed strong, it was nothing too serious, so I just needed to rest."

"That is good."

"So, what are we here to do?"

"Well, I came to cultivate, as for you, I still don't know what you came here to do."

"You are one of the culprits for i being here, so put up with me." Zhao Syaoran sat next to him. "Besides, I have nothing to do while I'm on the mend, so I'll follow you around."

"Why don't you go train then?"

"Following you is fun, and it won't be fun to leave you behind if we can't fight in the future."

"Are you trying to be beaten by chance?"

"Hehe, I'm kidding."

"Hun."

Long Tian then closed his eyes.

He began to concentrate his divine power and a small aura formed around him.

Zhao Syaoran watched him cultivate for a few seconds.

Realizing that it wouldn't be worth disturbing him now, he decided to cultivate too.

Zhao Syaoran then put his hands together and concentrated.

When Long Zhu passed down the corridor between the gardens, he saw Zhao Syaoran and Long Tian training together.

He gave a slight satisfied smile and continued on his way.

Going to the main house, he headed for the meeting room and before he entered, a servant intercepted him.

"My lord." He bowed briefly. "The documents you requested."

The servant then handed a package to Long Zhu, he nodded and took it, opening it and giving a slight check, before opening the doors.

In addition to Long Zhu, a servant and three other men were there.

One of them, was an ancient, small and wrinkled, he wore a thick blanket with the symbols of the family and was bald.

His deep eyes were focused on the papers in his hands while he was surrounded at the table by the other two young, well-dressed men.

One of them wore a tunic in a shade of lighter blue and had his short black hair combed back, wearing a small glasses of rest.

The other had green robes and brown hair, with a blue pigment earring on his left ear.

"Elder Meng Lin Hao, advisers Lu Bai, Xiao Liang."

"Master Long Zhu." Second Counselor Lu Bai greeted him.

Long Zhu then handed over the document he had just received to Lu Bai.

"These are ..."

"The history of the Imperial Sheng Family archived from the Hong Dynasty period."

Xiao Liang then approached to see, Lu Bai then opened the documents and handed it to Elder Meng Lin Hao.

"Xiao Liang, I want you to speak to the Prime Minister and ask him to send these documents to Emperor Huang as soon as possible."

"Yes, sir." Xiao Liang then started to organize them. "Is that all?"

"What else did you find in the family library?"

"We got access to the Central Library, some files were almost lost, but we managed to find some things." Elder Meng Lin Hao said. "It seems that the Sheng Family and the Imperial Ying Family already had an alliance established before the revolution."

"An alliance? ... Of course, there would be no way they could have won the war with their bare hands." Long Zhu scratched his beard thoughtfully. "Okay, make a copy and send it all, but confidentially."

"Yes, my lord, we will take care of everything." Xiao Liang then took all the papers. "Excellently, Master Long, Elder Meng Lin ..." He bowed slightly. "Come on, Liu Bai."

The Second Counselor then followed behind Xiao Liang and they both left the room quickly.

When they no longer heard his footsteps from him, Meng Lin Hao blew out a heavy breath.

"Are you sure about that, Long Zhu? This is risky."

"This is our chance to claim our family position, Elder Mengin Hao, the gods have given us this opportunity and we will not waste them."

Long Zhu then approached the window.

"I will do my best to get out of the shadows and not live in fear anymore."

Meng Lin Hao looked at him in silence.

"Okay, my son ... I trust you, you can count on all the support of our family."

"Thank you Elder Meng Lin Hao." Long Zhu paid respect.

"Your father would be proud of you now, you have become a great leader." Meng Lin Hao stretched his face with a smile.

"Long Tian."

Long Tian heard a vague voice calling his name.

"Hey, Brother Long Tian!" Gradually, the voice became clear in his mind.

"Long Tian! Hey Long Tian!"

When he opened his eyes, Long Tian came across Zhao Syaoran right in front of him.

He looked a little irritated and took a deep breath.

"Weren't you training? What is it?"

"I have a question."

"Couldn't you wait for me to finish?"

"You were taking too long, it was boring."

"Taking too long? How much did you cultivate?"

"I have just reached the Third Degree."

Long Tian looked at him in bewilderment.

Third degree ?!

Zhao Syaoran already had 1,800 divine power!?

How fast was his cultivation?

"I'm curious." Zhao Syaoran awoke Long Tian from his thoughts of him. "You always seem to live alone in this courtyard, aren't you lonely?"

"A little, but I'm used to it."

"This yard is yours isn't it? I thought there should be only one house, now that it realized, there's another one. Did anyone live in that yard with you?"

"... Yes, there was someone ... My older sister."

"What happened to her?"

Zhao Syaoran decided to be more careful, it seemed a delicate matter to Long Tian when judging by his appearance.

"She left."

"Oh yes ... Forgive me if this is difficult for you, I was just curious."

"It's all right."

Silence.

Zhao Syaoran now felt uncomfortable with the weather.

"Um ... Your sister ... Was she beautiful?"

"You really don't waste any time, do you ?!"

"Young master Long Tian." One of Long Kun's servants appeared.

Unlike the common servants of the house, those chosen by Long Kun wore a different tunic in a marine tone.

Long Tian stood up immediately.

"Yes?"

"Master Kun is waiting for you in the training area."

"Say we are already going."

"Yes, my lord, excuse me." The servant bowed briefly and left.

"It seems that Master Kun feels better." Zhao Syaoran stood up. "Why do you think he called us?"

"What do you think?"

"That old man wastes on the team."

"It surprises me you are so well with this, aren't you afraid?"

"Fear ?! I'm more than anxious."

Both Long Tian and Zhao Syaoran walked together to the east area of Long Mansion.

Arriving at the training arena, they saw a very healthy Long Kun.

Long Kun still had a few tracks, but nothing too serious.

Even if he had serious injuries, he would not give up training.

"Uncle Long Kun." Long Tian paid respect. "You look well."

"Likewise." Long Kun then looked at Zhao Syaoran and smiled. "Good morning Young Master Zhao."

"Master Kun." Zhao Syaoran paid respect.

"You look stronger than the last time I saw you, you look good."

"Thanks, are we going to fight again?"

"Soon, but today my challenge will not be with you." Long Kun then looked at Long Tian. "Young nephew Long, could you accompany me to the arena?"
