The Way of The Dao

"The rumor about the goddess Long Yuyin?"

Ling Tian raised his eyebrow at what Tang Jingtian said.

"Ah! Now that you mention it, I heard that too when I was with Wenxin yesterday." Mu Shen spoke suddenly.

"Hu Wenxin?" Tang Jingtian suddenly remembered who she was and asked Mu Shen.

Mu Shen happily nodded, "If Brother Tian hadn't opened my eyes, I don't think I could step forward and dare ask her to be my beloved..."

Tang Jingtian was surprised and congratulated Mu Shen for daring to declare his love for the one he loved.

"What's the rumor that is circulating about this Yuyin girl?" Ling Tian asked, since he was interested in the rumor.

"They say, the Goddess Yuyin is already in love with a man! Yesterday they had seen her in the center of town and observed how she acted intimately with another man, even to the point of grabbing his clothes and not letting go!" Tang Jingtian explained about the rumor that was circulating from the day before.

'Wasn't it at that time that she took me by surprise?' Ling Tian thought as he remembered what happened.

" Yeah. They also say she chased that man when he left... she was seen for a while looking for business or possible places where the guy might have hidden. Now all men are sad to see their goddess fall in love with a man, and also, they're looking for that guy to beat him up for taking one of the Goddesses." Mu Shen explained what he had also heard.

Ling Tian smiled bitterly inside as he heard all this. It was really when he and Long Yuyin were talking at the time. Doesn't that mean they want to seek him out to kill him for stealing one of the Goddesses from the Star City?

"By the way, those who were at the site said that they had never seen this man and that he also wore robes instead of training suits or normal men's clothes. Although it's rare to see men wearing robes, since those who do are the elders and old men..." Tang Jingtian turned to see Ling Tian, he was wearing fine robes, obviously highlighting his image.

Ling Tian smiled helplessly: "Don't look at me, when I left your house I met Brother Shen and encouraged him to take the step with Hu Wenxin." He lifted his shoulders helplessly, he did not want to be involved in more things, he was lazy to explain the relationship with Long Yuyin.

" Yeah, in fact, Brother Tian was with me for quite a while." Mu Shen confirmed what Ling Tian said.

Tang Jingtian nodded but he still had his doubts.

"Brother Jingtian, I ask you not to tell anyone you know me, please. Let my identity remain between us." Ling Tian spoke suddenly, changing the subject.

Tang Jingtian cocked his head in confusion.

"Ha. It's kind of hard to say, but I don't want them to know where I am right now. This would cause a commotion in the city." Ling Tian said a temporary excuse.

Tang Jingtian nodded. He wanted to tell his family that he had found the Tang family benefactor, the master alchemist who cured his mother. But observing Ling Tian's seriousness, he decided to keep the secret.

"I promise you brother. Well, I have to go now, since I want to keep taking care of my mother so she gets better faster." Tang Jingtian stood up. Mu Shen would accompany him to see if Mu Shuiruo wanted to come or stay with Tang Wanying.

Seeing both of them get up, Ling Tian told Tang Jingtian, "Don't worry, your mother will be cured in a short time... Let your family be on the lookout for anything suspicious in your family..."

Tang Jingtian was slightly surprised at what Ling Tian said, then he nodded. He knew that someone must be targeting his family, as they were poisoning his mother.

Expressing his feelings once again about saving his mother, Tang Jingtian said goodbye this time.

Ling Tian only warned Tang Jintian, he didn't know the condition of Tang family. He knew that there should be something more complicated behind all this. This was a great family of the star city, not just any family, so daring to kill or poison one of these great families would cause a total shock.

Ling Tian continued to sit in the cultivation position while he watched the two of them leave.

He stood and watched the sky. No one knew what was going on in his mind. His eyes went out, no spirit could be seen in them, as if there were no life. Suddenly, his eyes began to move like waves, when a mysterious light passed through them.

Before long, Mu Shen arrived with Mu Shuiruo.

Mu Shuiruo radiated a shy yet happy aura to Ling Tian.

Ling Tian smiled at her when she looked in his direction.

"B-Big brother..." Mu Shuiruo approached Ling Tian and wanted to say something, but stopped. Her hesitation and nervousness was completely reflected in her.

"Hmm? Is something wrong?" Ling Tian cocked his head in confusion, trying to see what Mu Shuiruo meant.

"I-I..." Mu Shuiruo's body was shaking with nervousness.

She remembered what Tang Wanying had told her.

'If you don't want someone else to take our future husband from us, you should show him your feelings.

The best way would be for you to give him the ruby aunt had left you, so he'll know about your feelings without you talking.'

Mu Shuiruo wanted to give him the ruby she had stored in her bedroom, but at the mere hour, her shyness betrayed her and she could not give the ruby to Ling Tian. She could not even speak properly, only to think of what she would do, her face turning completely red.

Ling Tian watched her nervousness and felt that she wanted to say or do something, but her shyness prevented her from doing that.

Ling Tian noticed that in her clenched fist, she had what appeared to be a small ruby. He didn't know why she had that. Maybe she wanted to ask him for help with something related to that?

"Little Shuiruo, you don't have to push yourself. If you wanted to tell me something, you don't have to force yourself to tell me now, I won't suddenly disappear, therefore until you feel safe, you can tell me or ask me whatever you want." Ling Tian observed her nervousness and advised her not to force herself into what she wanted to do.

Mu Shuiruo watched him foolishly for a while, before nodding with a tender smile: "En!"

Ling Tian enjoyed the great beauty in front of him. Her smile made her seem like a true holy maiden.

Though Mu Shuiruo's nature was very shy, she seemed to be making an effort to talk to him more and more. She seemed to be slowly letting go of her shyness and nervousness when speaking to others.

Ling Tian could not help but raise his hand and pat her head, causing Mu Shuiruo to blush. She could not help but close her beautiful eyes while a happy smile formed on her delicate, thin lips.
