CHAPTER 47

I remembered reading about cleansing one’s body, from many cultivation books, and knew that it could only help me, so I ended up doing this at least once every three to four days. And as the days pa.s.sed, I got used to seeing the inside of my own body. It was not what I expected though, as I could obviously zoom in and out, so it didn’t look even half as bad as I originally thought it would.

Seeing any cracks or dents, black spots or any other strange looking dots, I gradually got very used to what a healthy body should look like on the inside. I fixed the flesh that I had burnt on my heel, when I had hidden in the kitchen all those years ago. I fixed a small area in my arm, from when I had been pulled to the front of the estate, and then a few other places.

My hearing become better, my spine was without worry and my eyesight…

There was something strange about my eyes, I wasn’t too sure what it was, but since it was throughout the whole Iris of both eyes, I thought that it was normal. But, my eyesight increased as well…

And through this, I came to realize that I didn’t need to go to the stream close by, to clean myself, anymore! As I could do it through my meditation!

‘Bending s.p.a.ce’ meditation is so awesome!

But then…I thought I’d still need to go there to clean my clothes…

Sigh

Now that I had a routine, and didn’t think to bother myself too much with what was happening elsewhere…I never thought to become aware of a presence, that had seen me training with a beast.

This person watched with curiosity, as well as with great concentration. There was no way that he would let anything happen to the person that he had been searching for, for quite some time. Being worried about her survival, had all come to nothing!

He was surprised though, to see such a little person fighting so well against such a big beast. Not only because of how small she was, but…A beast!

He had seen quite a few on the way here, but never thought to try and fight them as she was doing! He had spent very little time in seeing or reading about these beasts and they were somewhat of a mystery. But, he wasn’t here to find information about beasts, he was here to make certain this la.s.s was safe and staying in one spot…

The fact that the la.s.s seemed to be slas.h.i.+ng her way around with two swords, was really quite impressive!

She seemed to also be quite fast, as she dodged any attacks, or moved to the side or jumped.

Once I had finished my fight, doing my usual to the now dead beast, I leisurely teleported to the top of the mountain.

Seeing that his mission was now complete, and that the girl seemed to be staying safely on top of the mountain, that he had seen her on top of before, the follower left, as though he had never been there to begin with…

When this ‘follower’ was making his way back to his master, he took into account that the mountain had a steep area, in which would make it unclimbable. As it was, he was only able to see from where he had been on the ground, because of his spiritual essence making his eyes better for a certain period of time.

When he tells his master, he must remember to bring someone along that could go up there, knowing that his master would want her to come back.

He knew that his master could glide, but flying was another matter. His master will definitely get there soon though, as it was something that he had been cultivating, not long before this mission. Being away from his master since the la.s.s had gone missing, this person couldn’t help but be generally be happy to report back and see how his master was doing…

But, upon this person’s return to Green Haven, two months later, he was surprised to find that his master was in prison…

What had happened, while I was gone?

Even though this subordinate wanted to desperately say something about this predicament, he kept quiet.

“Band One? You have returned?” The Second Prince asked, not sounding happy nor sad.

The days were long…And what had become known to Matthew, was that he was particularly safe here and he was still able to make plans, even from his prison cell.

Knowing that he had already planned his way out, Matthew was just biding his time.
