Deep Concerns

"Xiao still hasn't returned, it's been five days now"

Coe'er who was standing at the back gates of a large residence twisted the cloth of the dress she was wearing. The little hut in the past had turned into something that resembled a Manor, it had several rooms and other sections that took up massive space.

The workers had to cut a space leading to the direction of the forest so that they don't cross the lands belonging to other Bia tribe members. When the other clan members saw the huge development, most wanted to cause trouble but was stopped due to the Bia Ginze.

There was a fence separating the residence from the rest of the Bia tribe as if creating a dividing line. This was also the reason why others wanted to find trouble for them. This idea was suggested by Coe'er and though the idea at the time sounded as if they would be overstepping, they still followed her orders and had it done.

Though in their eyes, Coe'er was just a slave like the rest of them, they knew that master Bia was building the original house for her comfort and safety. Thus they knew that her words at some point in time would carry a lot of weight. As such, they had just decided to start following her words from early.

"He had mentioned that he would be out for a few days. Maybe he will be back soon"

Tue came out to comfort Coe'er, his family had been brought over four days ago and because there were other members with their children living here as well, the atmosphere was very lively.

"I can't shake the feeling that something is wrong"

Coe'er stood by the back gate with a perplexed look on her face, she didn't know why she cared so much about a person she hardly knew. It was very strange to her, the feeling was so great that she didn't know what to do.

"I can see that you truly care a lot about him, beyond the level of a master"

Tue came up to stand beside Coe'er, he also looked into the distance, eyeing the several hundreds of trees in his vision. Though he wasn't a martial artist, he had still experienced many ups and downs and had also faced battles of love in his younger days as well.

"I don't understand the feeling. I've only known him for two days, what's going on"

Coe'er was very open and direct, she didn't hide anything from Tue as she turned to face the middle-aged man who sighed with an expectant look in his eyes.

"The affair of the heart is a strange thing. We can only follow it and hope that it leads you down the right path. Maybe when he comes back you should tell him how you feel"

Tue turned to also face the young girl before him. After sizing her up, she was at the age of marriage but due to their poor background, such was the life of the poor. They had to sell themselves so that they could eat and feed their loved ones, the world was a cold place and it was a dog eat dog world.

"No, I can't do that. I'm just a slave, our statuses are just too different"

Coe'er shook her as hard as she could, even though she felt the way she did, she wasn't brave enough to mention how she was feeling to Bia Xiao. Not to mention the short time of knowing each other, even their starting points were different.

"You see and hear but you don't understand"

Tue shook his head as he walked to the side of a stone bench and sat down. From the angle of his seat, he could no longer see a clear view of the forest but the buildings of the new residence.

"What do you mean by that?"

Coe'er walked over as well, the words spoken by Tue were a little confusing to her and no matter how she looked at it, she still couldn't understand what he meant by it. She took a seat across from Tue and awaited his reply.

"I've been working in this tribe for 20 years now. Bia Xiao and his family were like any other members of the Bia tribe, until the passing of his parents.

After that, due to the events of their deaths, he was treated as an outcast and looked down upon. He fed himself, the tribe gave him nothing, the little hut that was here before, he made it himself. There wasn't a time where he wasn't mocked and many before his very eyes, wished for his death"

Tue sighed as he shook his head at the thought of Bia Xiao. Though he was a slave, he was well informed.

"The tribe didn't even give him resources for him to cultivate, one could even say that he was like us, a slave but a slave with the Bia surname. Thus he is one of the easiest persons to relate to, he doesn't have the arrogant nature like most of the young youths you see around here"

When Coe'er heard everything that Tue had said, she finally understood his meaning. All that he had now were things brought about by his own hands or better yet, if she hadn't shown his talent, he would still have nothing.

In a sense, his heart wasn't with the Bia tribe and he wasn't one to look to them either. Thus he could understand her feelings if she told him how she was feeling.

"I understand"

Coe'er stood up and head towards the tallest house, she back looked lonely and no one could tell what she was thinking. While Tue was also lost in his thoughts, he seemed to have remembered something and quickly stood up.

"I just remember, since we are under the orders of the young master now, should we still go out to work for others? How will we earn money now? These problems need to address as soon as possible"

It was as Tue said when a set of persons were assigned to a particular person, it was that person who is supposed to send down orders for them to work and earn a living. If they were placed under Bia Xiao's ruling and still had to go out to work under other younger masters to earn a living, then they would be a laughing stock and would be better off not living under Bia Xiao in the first place.

"I don't have an answer to this question, though you guys show me such respect, I don't have the power to me these decisions."

Coe'er tuned to face Tue with a shake of her head. At the end of the day, she was still but a slave and couldn't affect the bigger picture in the eyes of the Bia tribe. If she were to openly start to give orders and make major decisions on her own, then there was a possibility where she might but killed.

"Sigh, I understand. I only hope that he comes back soon and will be able to find a solution to this problem"

Tue got up from his seat and followed behind Coe'er as they headed inside the house. Two days ago, Bia Long had returned with the nine suns flower, he had purchased it with great effort from a local tribe that didn't truly know the use of the nine suns flower.

One could say that he had spent a leg snd an arm to get it and it was the total savings for the year for both himself and his father Bia Long. It came up to 4,000 silvers and Bia Long had almost cried when he heard the price.

Even though the seller didn't know the true use of the flower, he did have some knowledge of medical herbs and could tell that it was something out of the ordinary. Thus, if he was going to sell it, he might as well make something from it.

Within the residence of Bia Suyu, Bia Long could be seen sitting cross-legged with the nine suns flower laying in a jade box in front of him. The nine suns flower gave off a strong heat and were somewhat glaring to the eyes.

"Damn that bastard, he sold me the nine suns flower at such a crazy price. Once I breakthrough, see if I don't cripple him"

Bia Long pounded the floor in hate and malice, the only reason he took the flower for that price was that he could tell that the man, though very old was at the 8th Meridian opening realm and he wasn't is much for the time being.

If this wasn't the case, then he would have killed the old man with his rookie's help and took the nine suns flower away.

"Stinking old man, watch how I deal with you"

Bia Long reached out and pluck off a leave from the nine suns flower, the felt very warm on his palm, and the longer he held the leaf, the hotter his palm became. He could even feel the heat rushing through his pores and heating his meridian up.

"Time to get the show on the road"

Bia Long opened his mouth and chew the nine suns leaf, instantly he felt a rush of heat spreading through his body.
