Heart Cultivation

Jen wore a simple dress and came out, the hair was slightly combed now but not fixed with expensive or stylish hairpin.

She was looking exceptionally beautiful but rather saddened, after taking a look in the hall she went out.

The Sleuth Custodians appeared out of nowhere and flew around her, "This color was selected by me? Does the miss like it?" a custodian spoke puffing its imaginary chest, it was glad that the miss has good taste.

Jen heard the creature and looked at herself, "I thought this was the most simple and ignorable color," how could she select some stunning dress and wear when her heart was in chaos, everything seemed like a trash.

"Ah miss, you broke my heart, wait there is no need to feel guilty I remember I don"t have a heart at all," the custodian emitted smoke from its mouth when speaking.

Jen knitted her brows and walked ahead.

She was standing at the edges of the hall from where she could look around the territory of cultivation, the layers were spreading far and wide but where was her great grandfather.

Xuan Rong was gone in the first ranking Manias where a grand elder has sent him a plea for help, he was constantly being chased and he sensed that the enemy has strong power and the number has also more than five, he was not in condition to fight alone in this situation so being friends with the Defender he asked for help.

In half a day, Xuan Rong came back because the enemy disappeared like wind.

He left a guardian beast there to investigate who was the enemy? Has Nianru crafted some plot to internally weaken the Celestial Sphere? The possibility was high in this uncertain scenario.

Jen saw the big figure descending down between the layers, the shoulder caps were touched by the horizon light and the emitted glow reached her eyes a little sharp, she blinked instinctively.

"Master is here," a custodian informed.

Xuan Rong walked out of his cultivation territory like a strongest warrior walk through after displaying his strength in the battle.

His robes was a set of highest grade battle armor crafted by the only Golden Legend Mender of Celestial Sphere in the span of three decades.

He saw his grandchild, she was looking better now at least apparently, her eyes were the same and she looked indifferent to everything.

"Jen, the cultivation territory is a highest grade technique, you can understand its rarity from the fact that no one in the Celestial Sphere has suitable strength to match its approach, but you see the strength is not the only aspect, one has to be supreme root cultivator," he was pointing at the fact that she was also supreme now.

"To be a supreme is blessing and curse at the same time, and to be a learner worse," Jen spoke as if talking to herself.

"Not entirely when one is walking on right path and value the strength rather than sly means though it"s not easy to follow the right path since it can bring more problems at times," Xuan Rong cleared.

The custodians surrounded her and they walked in the cultivation territory, the howling layers has no effects on the Sleuth Custodians because of the fact that there acmes pairs can"t react to the essence availability, well it can if they have any acmes pairs.

"Miss Jen seemed angry at something, is it the dresses are not for your liking," the custodian was ready to hear rebuke but Jen did not answer.

Xuan Rong suddenly remembered something and looked at her, "Is that some hunter attacked you?" with this revelation his aura started to flame fury.

He could see that she has advanced in the Legend Realm and he has heard about the hunters from an elder, "Which region you were attacked and what was specific about their looks," he asked with haste.

The hunters were eye soar and question at the strongest power of the sphere, they were sc.u.ms appeared out of nowhere and currently there was clue how they can be distinguished, they were sly and mean with their ways.

One cannot identify them if one has not confronted them openly in an attack, the reports says that they were strange and powerful.

"Hunters are everywhere, it is not necessary to point out one specific, the cultivators usually face stronger one in the void and rarely escape, but I was not attacked by hunter," it was only her observation that the man who was in the dark region was a hunter but she was not sure moreover she was attacked and hurt by someone from upper sphere, with this her eyes widened, she asked her great grandfather immediately, "Who is Nianru in the upper sphere?"

That man called his name again and again, his cunning bearings was etched in her mind, she wanted to know who he was and why he has grudge against her, as for as she could remember she never met him before nor she know anyone of this name ever.

As the word resounded, Xuan Rong was alarmed, how come Jen was aware of this name?

"How do you know this name?" he asked instead answering her question.

"Why not?" Jen registered his expressions and caught some idea.

"He is a sc.u.m of upper sphere and would soon be crowned as the Head Defender of upper sphere," Xuan Rong gritted his teeth at the memories flashed.

"Now you should answer my question," he looked at his grandchild who was lost in thoughts.

"I think I heard this name somewhere and I was curious," she did not relate that she had met him and faced how strong he was but the main concern was still unclear, why he bore grudge against her?

Xuan Rong noticed her changing expressions and understood that she was hiding something, "You should not be doing this," he seriously spoke this time.

Jen turned after she heard his solemn tone, "I don"t know what grandfather meant just now," she looked beyond the layers and there was nothing else other than the occupied territory of the layers.

She was avoiding his questioning eyes.

Xuan Rong shook his head, "Your father must be stubborn and you inherited his qualities, you know what you are doing and asking me instead, you are hiding everything, and I don"t know what it would lead toward, if you have anything to share why not share? Don"t you trust your grandfather?" literally he was complaining her behavior.

A grandchild should be obedient, she should tell what problem she was facing? And here she was as secretive as if she considered him among enemies.

Jen could not bear but it was not an option to tell the truth, there would be a sudden reaction and the worst was unimaginable, her grandfather was not aware how much she was attached to the person she lost and he might suggest to forget to bring him back, after all it was matter between two sphere especially when he has showed how he disgusted Nianru, it could also means there was a story behind but the question was whether Nianru intentionally came looking for her after investigating the kins of Defender Xuan Rong but why he would call her wife again and again if there was deep grudge between her great grandfather and the sly Nianru?

Her head started hurting, her heart fell in chaos when she thought about Zhi Chang, what kind of situation he was in and how Nianru was treating him? It was unimaginable.

Xuan Rong saw her falling spirits and supported her, "Jen don"t keep it to yourself, your grandfather has grown old and I can"t bear to see you in this condition," he picked her up and spoke in parched voice, he don"t what way and what words could make her trust him and share what was bothering her.

Jen heard and clung against his chest like a small child, hiding her tears, she has lost enough of her weight and looked much frail.

"I am fine grandfather, tomorrow I would wish to learn from you about the cultivation territory and how I should increase my levels," she sounded as much calm and serene as could so that her grandfather feel some comfort.

He has already lots of responsibilities on his shoulders, if she mentioned how she was attacked by Nianru, it would cause endless unrest until he was able to revenge but the revenge was not the final solution, and for own problem she cannot bear to see two spheres come into bad terms.

What was crucial at this time, her weak cultivation level, once she become strong, she would be able to head toward upper sphere alone, after reaching there she would think a way to bring back Zhi Chang without confront that sly fox.

According to her grandfather, Nianru soon would become head Defender of upper sphere so he might not be willing to waste his time on petty grudges, right? Naïve, she don"t know the real reason of grudge.
