Liu Chen, who was in his room, was sitting on a chair not far from the bed. He propped his head up with his hands, "It seems like I should thank him now" Liu Chen murmured.

Liu Chen immediately took out the fire phoenix sword from his spatial ring and inserted his consciousness into the sword.

Now he is in a place that only has one color, namely white. There was no sky, no earth, no other stuff.

"Hey, where are you?!" yelled Liu Chen.

"Heh, are you looking for me? What was? Don't you want to see me again?" said a voice from behind Liu Chen.

Liu Chen turned his body back and saw a red-clothed young man walking up to him.

"I just wanted to thank you for telling me to eat the ball of light I found in the demon palace back then" Liu Chen said.

"What is the usefulness of that little ball of light?", the young man before Liu Chen raised next to his eyebrows.

"By eating that ball of light, I have 3 chances to live again. Now I just have 1 more chance and if it's used, then I won't be able to live anymore. But that's enough for me"

"Heh, it turns out that the ball of light is very useful. I told him to eat it, just because I wanted to know what it was. I just said with the origin of the time that the ball of light can make a person have 3 lives. It was unexpected that it was indeed true" muttered the red-clothed youth.

"Huh?! What did you say just now?! So you want me to be an experiment to get rid of your curiosity about the ball?!" said Liu Chen. Although the young man before him only muttered, but he could hear it clearly. Because, this place is very quiet.

"What's important is that you don't risk anything, do you? By eating the ball" said the red-clothed youth unconcernedly.

"Sadly, then what if I eat that ball of light and it turns out that it has no benefits like what you said back then?!", Liu Chen was annoyed.

"Easy, maybe you'll die. Your body is lying on the ground. Or maybe you'll have a disability. You can also burn alive for no apparent reason to make your spirit unsettled after you die and you also swayed" said the young man dressed in red with indifference.

"What did you say?! You want me dead, huh?! I shouldn't have listened to what you said back then if I had known the truth", Liu Chen annoyed.

"Hey, there's no need to be upset with me like that. Didn't you after doing what I said, get yourself a lot of good luck?"

"That's true, but still. You're just using me as a tool to get rid of your curiosity!"

"The most important thing is that nothing bad happens, right?" said the young man dressed in red flatly.

"I'll take back my thanks for you!"

"Do you really think speech is stuff? Can it be taken back?"

"As far as you are! I don't give a shit"

"Prince whenever you talk to me, why are you always so angry with me?"

"Who do you call the prince?"

"Sure who else if not you. It's just you and me here. Then who else do I call but you, hm?"

"It's better to stop acting like you're my best friend. Because I don't know you at all"

"Are we not really good friends? So it's okay if I act like that"

"This one has the same expression as Jiangwu. Yet he spoke more than that man" Liu Chen's inner.

"First we met, I don't know your name yet. What's yourname?" said Liu Chen.

"Aren't you supposed to know my name? Then why do you ask again as if you never knew me and only this time know me" said the man dressed in red.

"Yes, this is not the first meeting. But the third time"

"Not the third time. But how many hundred or maybe a thousand times have we met and you've now forgotten me? Every time you see me, I feel weird because you're always angry indignant indistinctly and until now you haven't changed at all"

"You're telephoned. Speak clearly, everything you say I don't understand at all", Liu Chen said.

"Heh, you seem to have forgotten me or maybe you don't remember anything. I'm lazy to explain. Once upon a time, there was a man who met me. But he is not the one who is my master. He'll tell you all the truth"

"Who do you mean?"

"You've met him and you've known him"

"Let's go, I don't care. I don't want to believe you, 'cause you're just tricking me. Never mind, I'll see you"

Slowly, Liu Chen turned into a flake of light and instantly disappeared.

"Cih, whatever" murmured the red-clothed pri. He slowly turned into a flake of light and disappeared.

Liu Chen now returned to his consciousness. He immediately inserted his fire phoenix sword into the space ring. He shook his head, "He seemed to have fantasized so much that he thought I was a prince. After all, I don't look like that at all" he murmured.

Liu Chen immediately went out of the room. He asked several times where the other chairman's room was. Because he wanted to meet one of them to ask a few questions.

Liu Chen went towards Zong Xian's room. When he arrived, he could see two people who were seen guarding the room. They also approached them.

"I want to meet with the first chairman" Liu Chen said.

The two guards saluted, "Please second chairman"

They immediately opened the door and allowed Liu Chen to enter.

When he entered the room, Liu Chen could see a young man standing in front of the window. Liu Chen approached Zong Xian.

"Haocun, do you know who Zhao Yu's senior disciple is? Because senior Zhao Yu is the younger brother of my teacher. Then my teacher left something to me and wanted me to give it to senior Yu's student"

Zong Xian turned around and looked at Liu Chen, "Maybe Guang (Zhang Jiangwu) is his disciple. I don't know either. But my teacher once said that his three friends who helped him fight the demon lord were two men and one woman. So I guess, it's impossible for the emperor's daughter to be a disciple of your teacher's sister. So it's most likely Guang"

Liu Chen nodded, "Then, thank you. I'm leaving now, sorry to bother you"

Zong Xian shook his head, "You're not bothering me at all. Oh yeah, you better always be with your deputy"

Liu Chen looked at Zong Xian strangely, "What do you mean? Who do you mean? What's Quon?"

"Yes, he. Often be by his side. It's not that I'm suspicious and want you to observe him, it's just that I want to make sure that he doesn't betray. Because I know, you just knew him. Moreover, you trust him to be your character"

"I believe in Quon. So you're not saying that he's going to betray us"

"Well, I'm just giving advice. If you say you believe him, then I believe you too"

"All right, my business is done with you. I'm going to leave", Liu Chen started to step away going out.

"Alright" said Zong Xian.

"Guang!"

Zhng Jiangwu turned his head towards the voice and saw Liu Chen walking towards it.

"Hm?"

Liu Chen immediately took out a book and gave it to Zhang Jiangwu. "My teacher asked me to give it to his younger brother's student, Zhao Yu. So are you senior disciple Yu?"

"Mn.", Zhang Jiangwu nodded.

"Then, it's for you"

"Mn.", Zhang Jiangwu nodded again.

"Learn what's in the book and see you later" Liu Chen immediately left Zhang Jiangwu. Zhang Jiangwu himself did not say anything and directly left after getting the book.

In a magnificent and large room with a throne chair and a chair on the right and left of the throne. There are some people there. There are also those who sit in the throne chair.

A man kneels before a man sitting on a throne. "Hows it? Have you found my daughter's whereabouts?"

"Sorry Your Majesty, we have not found the princess. We've been looking for him for days, but we haven't found him yet. Also, we got information that the princess went with her friend"

"Deploy more troops to find my daughter" the Emperor asserted.

"Good"

"Now you can go. Tell me if you get any information about my daughter"

"Okay, Your Majesty, I'm resigned", the kneeling man began to leave.

"Haish.he's very naughty. Why go silently from the palace?! What if something happens to him" the Emperor said with annoyance and worry.

One of the people sitting on the right side of the throne opened his voice, "Your Majesty, you take it easy. The princess will be fine. The troops in charge of searching for the princess would have been able to quickly find her"

The Emperor looked at one of the officials and nodded, "Hopefully so"

At Wu Anming's current place, he was inside his room. There were also 2 people who became his roommates. While another one is empty, there is not yet.

"It turns out I'm rooming with that guy" inner Wu Anming. What he meant was, the man he had hit earlier in the outer corridor.

The man still had a cold expression. Unlike the other person who has a fairly energetic expression. Almost the same as Wu Anming.

"Hello, what's your name? If my real name is Xing Fu. Where you from? Who invited you to join? Do you have a lover? What food do you like? When I was a roast chicken. What foods do you not like? For food I don't like is eel soup. How's yours?" xing Fu said with excitement.

"One if you want to ask. Why are you so excited?" said Wu Anming.

"Of course, because I'm going to have a new friend! I am very happy and excited to know him. Then what's your name?" xing Fu said with excitement.

"My real name is Wu Anming. If you want to ask, you better ask one by one. I'm not used to answering all the consecutive questions at once"

"Will you be my friend?" xing Fu said with a heart.

"Y-yeah, alright", Wu Anming became awkward when he saw Xing Fu's change.

Xing Fu's eyes widened and smiled wider, "Really?! Then, from now on ask for my help when you get in trouble! Don't be shy. You should also help me when I'm in trouble!"

Wu Anming simply nodded at Xing Fu's words. Then, the man clasped his hand and brought it to the man with a cold expression.

Wu Anming was surprised when he was in front of the man, "What are you doing? Why pull me like that?"

Xing Fu smiled and looked at Wu Anming, "Of course to get you acquainted with this man. We're gonna be roommates, so you gotta get to know her. He's a friend of mine named Lao Tzu. Then Lao Tzu, introduce him to Wu Anming!"

There was no response at all from Lao Tzu or Wu Anming. They just stared at each other.

Seeing that, Xing Fu instantly held onto the two men's hands and made them shake hands. "Well, you know each other now. You guys are also now friends", Xing Fu smiled.

Lao Tzu instantly removed his hand from Wu Anming and directly went out of the room without saying a word.

Xing Fu looked at Wu Anming, "Sorry huh? He was like that. If you've been with her for a long time, then you'll be close to her. The first time I met Tzu was like that. He ignored me, but I didn't give up on being friends with him"

Wu Anming simply nodded and said, "It's fine, it seems like he's not a person of the social type. It seems like he's having a hard time interacting with other people"

"You're right, he's like that. He has difficulty interacting with others due to his cold and indifferent nature. But he was kind, it was just that his expression did not look like that. But if you're with Tzu long enough, maybe you'll find out. Haha, then when you see her smile, you might like her right away"

Wu Anming looked at Xing Fu strangely, "What do you mean?"

"All women would easily fall for him when they see him smile. I almost fell in love with her when I saw her smile. What if his smile is clearly visible? Ahhh, how handsome", Xing Fu seemed to imagine the moment Lao Tzu smiled. When imagining it makes her smile smile to herself.

Wu Anming directly released his hand from Xing Fu forcefully. She immediately got goosebumps hearing what Xing Fu said, "You're joking aren't you?"

"I'm serious", Xing Fu looked at Wu Anming seriously.

Wu Anming went out quickly. He became somewhat afraid of being close to Xing Fu.

"Gosh, does he believe what I said? Aish, he can't be joked around. I'd better catch up with her immediately and say that I was just kidding earlier, before she misunderstood", Xing Fu shook her head and directly went out to meet Wu Anming.

Lao Tzu went around the headquarters. He wanted to know what rooms were in this headquarters. He entered a room without a door. Inside there, the roof looks made of glass, in the room was overgrown by plants. Many flowers and other plants where.

Lao Tzu went inside to take a look. The air there feels cool like the forest. But this looks like a garden room, which is a garden that is in the room.

His gaze was immediately fixed on a small plant growing near a tree. He approached the small plant.

He looked at the plant with great caution and looked serious. He was surprised to examine the plant with his heart.

"Thee." murmured Lao Tzu. He holds and strokes the leaves of the plant.

An incident unfolded in his mind. Even he remembered a voice that always called out to him excitedly, "Tzu! Let's eat together. You don't keep practicing like that and don't think about your health. Eating is important!"

"What do we eat for? We are just slaves and the food given by them can be said to be unworthy. Then, why do you always smile like that as if you always get great happiness, when we always get into trouble. Why Mu?"

"Your color is still beside me. As long as you're always with me, then I'll be happy. No matter how hard life we live, but the hardship is not too much because I feel you are always there for me and you are my friend forever!"

The voice can be remembered by Lao Tzu. He kept looking at the plant in front of him and stroking the leaves of the plant. "I'll take care of you and I won't let anything bad happen to you, Mu" she said.

Lao Tzu could see that this plant before him had a soul like his friend. He has the ability to know the color of everyone's soul. Everyone has a different soul. So he could confirm that the plant before him was the reincarnation of his friend. Although his friend is no longer human, he will take good care of the plant. Because he believed that the plant had the same soul as his friend.

He also has a unique ability to see the soul of a person. It is certainly very rare, maybe even only he who has such an ability.
