Heart Cultivation

"I am sorry ma"am for this inconvenience, I"ll do something about it," inside his head he cursed, in his half sleep he allocated this room and this girl came troubling, what a bad timing.

Jen creased her brows to see this attendant at this time, what brought him here? The attendant turned around to see what troubled Lin"an.

Jen kept standing at the door until it was dawn of the this day, Zhi Chang opened his eyes and felt that he was sleeping on the comfortable bed of the lodge, he looked around and saw the ajar door of the room and Jen standing there like an erected pole, she was not moving.

It made him puzzled, he walked toward the door and voiced, "Jen," but there was no response.

He walked one more step and placed his hand on her shoulder, he was worried now, Jen collapsed as waiting for someone to support her, Zhi Chang spread his arms and wrapped her in his embrace, he sensed that she was over exhausted.

From the look, he seemed sleeping for a whole day and night, does that means she was guarding his sleep? His heart trembled to think her struggle to keep awake despite being equally tired.

He clutched her in his embrace, not ready to keep sliver of distance from the actual peace of his heart, Jen was his peace of heart and no one can replace it ever.

He picked her up and walked toward bedding, carefully placed her down and covered with a warm coverlet, he brought his lips on her forehead to kiss her but stopped himself from doing so.

He walked back and closed the door then sat on the bare floor of the room, He started to study and grasp the second level of the technique which Jen taught him, this technique if used in a perfect way, it can prove a stable and fierce weapon in times.

His unique cultivation base let him learn this technique from the core and it was an advantage, he was determined to learn it precisely, the rule that it does not matter how many techniques you know but it counts how much you grasped a single technique, a single technique can stand against many if learned properly.

Either if a technique was used in a battle without complete grasp and hold, it could harm the cultivator who was using it, that means to get harmed by your own weapon if you have not learned how to wield it.

It was one of the strictest rules if a cultivator wanted to become a trooper for ultimate battles, or wanted to be appointed by Defender himself as a protector.

Protectors work under the orders of Defender Xuan Rong, they were given different responsibilities crude and important too, Zhi Chang thought to become a protector of this Sphere if Jen was fighting for highest position, she would need strong support and he would be able to become her backing and shadow protector if he was strong enough.

Moreover, he don"t need another mentor when Jen was willing to mentor him, only a fool would decline such honorary mentoring.

He smiled at his last thought and looked toward her, she was sleeping or unconscious, he was not sure currently, he would check her after she rest for a whole day.

Lin"an was wandering in the streets entirely disappointed, thinking what has gone wrong with the central city, there was someone from the royal house, she immediately draped her cover so that the man could not recognize her.

Early morning when the elderly lady went in her room, she could not find her daughter there and got worried, later she was told that her daughter ran away from the crown house, she became angry and sent few cultivators to search her daughter at any cost, she was aware about the ongoing situation in the central city and if her daughter got in trouble, she had to show up and kill whoever make trouble but the problem was she don"t want to show up.

Lin"an tried her best to not get noticed and went back in her lodge with few shopping bags, she bought few necessary things and of course meal, she don"t want to starve herself if the haunted lodge, seriously she could not figure out what exactly that attendant was, a robber or the owner of this lodge or just an attendant, but whoever he was, for her no more a headache, because she noticed him lurking around different rooms and whenever she complained about something he would act strange.

Lin"an casted a glance at the reception desk and went upstairs.

A cultivator who was sent by the crown lady was asking around about her whereabouts, he reached the shopkeeper who scammed her, "Did you see a n.o.ble girl here yesternight?" he tried to portray how she looked from appearance.

"Haha, if she was n.o.ble, what she doing here at night?" the shopkeeper kept his sluggish ways and chuckled, he straight punch landed on his face without warning, "You dare to speak rubbish about royal blood?" the cultivator got angry, he did not use his dominion in this punch that"s why the shopkeeper was. .h.i.t this easy without his notice.

His b.u.t.tocks landed on the ground with a thud.

The appearance this cultivator told indeed match that girl who was asking about some lodge, does that means she was from the crown house? He shuddered inside but did not bring any expressions on his face.

"There is a rule, I don"t help anyone unless he buy something from my shop," he stood up and dusted off his robes, he was not scared from this cultivator sent by crown house.

"Don"t you fear me?" the cultivator looked in his eyes to threaten him.

"Why should I fear, almost every day, I meet several people who come to threat or mug off, if I started to fear everyone then I have to close my shop soon," he blew up his chest and spoke as if she was not worried about the ident.i.ty of this man standing in front of him.

The cultivator was p.i.s.sed to hear this.

"I think, I should buy something then," he somehow got a clue that this shopkeeper was aware where she could be or he could point out direction, anything would do because he got strict orders and the whole has pa.s.sed, he would not find miss Lin"an.

Other cultivators were also clueless and searching in different parts of this central city.

After he was done what he should buy, they ended up failed bargaining, the cultivator was not ready to pay ten times higher price no matter what, both were arguing until late evening.

The attendant has prepared to rob this new girl instead of the smart couple, they were doing great job, while one was resting the other was guarding and it make it impossible for him to carry out his plan.

He gathered his men and walked toward her room, despite complaining several times, she did not changed her room thinking that the next room has a couple living there and it brought some amity for her palpitating heart, she has sensed that the attendant was not some simple person and he was looking for an opportunity.

Though she was worried about her protection but she was reluctant to go back crown house and face the anger of her mother.

The attendant was sure that this girl was wealthy, he could see her bearings and today she bought many things as if she was not worried about the payment, she also paid her lodge bill in jade pins and this was more than a prove that she was wealthy.

It was late evening now, the attendant gathered his men and walked to rob off.

Jen woke up after a complete rest, she saw Zhi Chang sitting on the bare floor and learning technique, she was satisfied that he was concerned about his strength, one could only learn well when one has an interest to learn similarly a cultivator can only become strong if he was diligent and meticulous.

The attendant broke the door and entered in the next room, Lin"an was shocked with this sudden interrupting, before she could do anything she was blocked by two dominions, she was obstructed in their dominion though it was not suffocating.

"Handover your storage and we"ll let you go," the attendant spoke in low tone.

Lin"an pretended as if giving up on her storage but she brought out a level two protection weapon, the eyes of the attendant lit up to see this weapon.

He gestured all of them to attack.

Jen thought to comb her hair and fix her appearance before sitting for cultivation learning, the same time the wall of the room destroyed and a girl came flying and crashed, there was weapon in her hand.

Jen fell with her crash landed and the weapon fell on her comb and the delicate comb broke.
