"Hmm? Have you not heard?" She let out with confusion on her face.
" Not heard what? " Long Xue Ying asked with a frown.
" Young master had already left quite some time ago. He went out to train" Xue replied to her as she stopped watering the plants.
"He left? Do you mean that he finally woke up from his coma? " Long Xue Ying asked in an excited voice.
" Yup... Young Master woke up from his coma and left to train" Xue repeated her statement.
"Your young master is really troublesome. It's so hard to meet him when he's awake. I couldn't meet him when he recovered from his mental sickness and then he went into a coma and after recovering, he's again missing" Long Xue Ying let out with a wry smile on her face.
She really couldn't help but find it strange that she hasn't met the recovered Long Chen even once when he was awake.
" What can I say... Young Master is just so amazing" Xue said with a chuckle.
" I am going to the Xuan kingdom for the sect entrance exam. Since you two don't have to take care of your young master anymore, how about you two come with me? Seeing such an event would be fun for you two. The journey would be much more fun with you guys " Long Xue Ying said with a smile.
"It's alright Miss Ying. We like staying here. Also, Young master might return anytime. We need to take care of Madam as well" Xue said as she shook her head and denied the suggestion.
"Are you saying that I can't take care of myself? " A voice came from behind as a beautiful woman came towards them.
"Aunt Ziyi! " Long Xue Ying called out as she saw the woman.
"Little Ying, You've grown much stronger. Only 20 years old and already at the 9th stage of the Spirit Establishment Realm. Grand Elder must be really proud. " Sima Ziyi walked towards her as she patted her head.
" Thank you, Aunt Ziyi." Long Xue Ying said as she bowed lightly.
"Little Xue… she is right. You should go with her. Seeing that many geniuses going through trials against each other would be good and it's a good opportunity to get fresh air as well. You two care for me so much that you never do anything for yourself. It's a good chance to have some fun and travel outside" Sima Ziyi said with a smile as she looked at Xue.
" But... we need to be here when the young master comes back," Xue said in a soft voice as she lowered her head.
" Don't worry, when that Little devil comes home, I will tie him up and won't let him run away ever again" Sima Ziyi said as she looked at Long Chen's courtyard with reminiscing.
"Ah..." Xue tried saying something but Sima Ziyi interrupted her.
"I want to hear no excuses. You two are going with Ying. You need to have as much fun as you two can!" Sima Ziyi told her with a serious look on her face.
"Alright. We will follow madam's wishes" Xue finally gave up as she nodded her head.

The Qin clan and the Gu clan also prepared for the departure of the people that will participate in the test from their clan. As Qin Ruo led the team of Qin Clan, Gi Nanli's led their own.
A similar situation was happening in many of the prominent clans of all the surrounding kingdoms.
______________________________
Mingyu and Zhiqing spent the whole night inside the carriage with Long Chen as they slept while sitting. Amidst their sleep, both of their heads fell onto Long Chen's shoulders as they continued sleeping soundly.
Mingyu was sleeping as she dreamt about spending time with her family. She was having a nice dinner with her family. Everyone was there including her brother, her father and her mother. The dream felt so real. It felt like reality itself.
Mingyu asked for a dish that was near her brother. Her brother heard her request as he picked up the dish himself. He stood up and moved towards her.
As he was walking towards her, his eyes opened wide. Mingyu stood up with a feared expression on her face as she saw a sword stabbing him from the back and coming out from his chest. Her brother trembled as he took a step forward with shaky legs but he couldn't even walk as he fell to the ground. The ground was filled with his blood.
Mingyu screamed loudly as she saw her brother falling to the ground. She wanted to run to him but she stood petrified on her spot as soon as she saw the person who was standing behind her brother with a bloodied sword in his hand.
"Long Chen... Why???" She screamed loudly as tears fell from her eyes one after another but Long Chen didn't reply.
She looked to her father and mother but they weren't there. The whole place was empty as she now stood in a deserted land. The sand was now covered in her brother's blood. She looked towards Long Chen and saw a man standing behind him. It was the same masked man who gave her that destiny crystal and told her that it will bring her to her destiny.
"Watch as your destiny destroys everything you hold dear," The masked man said as he smiled.
Long Chen slowly lowered his sword which was dripping with blood.
