Chapter 9: Letters

Usually at times like these Xiao Fan would eat together with Qin Yizhung and Xin Yuyue. But today his nose is not even visible.

”What happened to Xiao Fan? Usually he who wakes up the earliest.” Qin Yizhung frowned.

”Now, maybe he's sleeping.” Xin Yuyue shrugged both of her shoulders.

They then decided to wait for Xiao Fan for a while longer, but after waiting for half an hour, Xiao Fan had not been seen yet.

”There is wrong.” Xin Yuyue sighed softly before walking towards Xiao Fan's room.

The contents of Xiao Fan's room were very simple, other than the mattress and table, there was no other furniture.

But despite searching the entire corner, Xin Yuyue was unable to find Xiao Fan inside the room.

”Under mattress also no.” Xin Yuyue rubbed the sweat that soaked her forehead.

Just as he looked over Xiao Fan's mattress, he saw a small piece of paper tucked between the pillows.

He took the paper and read the contents.

If you've read this, then I'm not home.

Don't look for me, I'll be back as soon as I finish my business.

- Xiao Fan's

Xin Yuyue scratched her head in astonishment because of that.

Xiao Fan left his house when Xin Yuyue and Qin Yizhung were still sound asleep, but he had intended to leave before leaving because he did not know when he would come home, but because both were still sleeping, so he decided to leave a letter.

The reason Xiao Fan was doing this was due to the advice from the System, lately he felt his cultivation had slowed down, as if there was a huge wall blocking his way.

System advised him to cultivate in a closed place, and also gain experience of life and death fighting. Perhaps he could gain enlightenment from it.

Currently he was walking down the river that was not visible at the end, in the middle of the road he occasionally thrust his sword into the river water and several times got fish.

Therefore, he paused on the riverbank to burn the fish he caught from the river.

”It turns out it doesn't feel bad either.” Xiao Fan ate the grilled fish he had made voraciously.

After which, he resumed his journey, this time walking towards his old house. He intended to visit the place to just look around.

He continued walking until he saw the silhouette of the small building from a distance, he accelerated his pace and from nearby was clearly seen a small hut made of wood.

”This place has not changed at all.” Xiao Fan smiled faintly as he looked at the small hut, the first house he made when he had just arrived at the Eternal Night Island.

There was no significant difference from the outside look of the hut, but the inside was completely messy with weeds running everywhere.

Xiao Fan spent a few moments cleaning the house and then rested for a while on a large rock that was not far in front of his old house.

”A long time ago I didn't relax like this.” Xiao Fan muttered softly. Indeed lately he was always busy working on the Daily Quest, even he did not have the opportunity to sleep more than four hours.

The cool breeze of the night passed through Xiao Fan's body, making her feel a sense of relief that she rarely felt. It was as if there was something on his body that was churning because of it.

”This feeling?!” Xiao Fan hurriedly sat down in a cross-legged position then closed his eyes, his breathing became more regular and began to sound a bang from within his body.

When the boom stopped, a black viscous liquid came out from Xiao Fan's body. He took a breath before shouting out excitedly.

”Finally! Forging Qi level 6!” So happy Xiao Fan, he jumped up high. Though he had been pessimistic about being able to ascend to the 6th level of Forging Qi in the near future, but not until one day had he left his house, he had risen to the sixth level.

[Happy Host, you've made it through one of the tough times in cultivation]

[ Profile ]

[Name: Xiao Fan ]

[Level : Forging Qi level 6 ]

[ Title : - ]

[ Skill : Flowerly Sword Dance, Red Fist, Silver Moon Sword Dance]

[ Credit Point: 134,000]

”If you notice, the techniques that I use are still a little...Maybe it's good to learn some other techniques.” Xiao Fan then asked System to open the Credit Store.

...[.Credit Stores]...

......

......

......

......

Xiao Fan clicked on option , then appeared many columns of boxes filled with various books containing martial arts and related to them.

”Hmm, I don't have a technique to lighten my body yet, so maybe that's all I'm looking for.” Xiao Fan looked deeper.

After a while, he found a technique that caught his attention.

”Wind Movement? Sounds great.” Xiao Fan then bought the technique for 750 Credit Points.

As soon as a projection appeared in his mind that demonstrated some complicated-looking movements, Xiao Fan could have System repeat those movements until he mastered them completely.

The time it took Xiao Fan to learn the Wind Movement technique was only about half an hour, it was because he regularly consumed Mind Boosting Pills, so his memory was getting stronger.

After that, he spent his time practicing all the techniques he had learned.

**

It had already been a month since Xiao Fan left the letter on his bed, but he had not returned yet. Making Xin Yuyue and Qin Yizhung wonder about the affairs that Xiao Fan meant in the letter.

”What do not-don't Xiao Fan be dead?” Qin Yizhung chirps while eating.

Xin Yuyue to the point of choking her food heard those words from Qin Yizhung, luckily Qin Yizhung quickly gave Xin Yuyue some drinking water.

As soon as he finished drinking a glass of water, Xin Yuyue let out a long sigh before reminding Qin Yizhung that Xiao Fan was stronger than the two of them.

”Xiao Fan is stronger than the two of us, there is no way he died that easily.”

Indeed Xin Yuyue's words were not wrong, but that was only true for a few months ago. At that time, Xiao Fan defeated them by luck alone, if both of them were at the peak of his strength, then Xiao Fan back then could be defeated easily. If the three now clashed, it would be difficult to guess the winner, as more or less their current strength was in balance.

”Already, rather than keep talking, better finish your meal.” Xin Yuyue snorted in annoyance and continued to eat her food.
