"They might have sent someone to follow me"
"Are they that reluctant to let me live"
"How can I get my revenge like this"
"No., I can't let them capture me this time"
He thinks to himself as he is trying to hide from the masked man.
Fan Sheng escapes from the place but the masked man notices him leaving and follows him.
It is almost impossible for him to free himself from his shadows. Just then he enters a tavern in the village and enters a room.
The masked man follows him into the room only to find 4 women trying to seduce him.
Fan Sheng is nowhere to be found and the masked man feels awkward in between those women.
Those women clung to him and started to caress their hands over his body.
He doesn't utter a single word, instead he unleashes his hidden sword which makes the courtesians frighten in fear.
They didn't make a single sound in fear and as he goes out to check on Fan Sheng, he is now nowhere to be found.
"System, I think there is still a day left but why is he following us?"
"It is trying to kill me. Is this the death you mean?"
[Death is uncertain and can come in any way once the time is up]
"What? Does that mean he will kill me?"
"No.. No.. I can't let him find me"
"I should have completed the task sooner instead of indulging in sex"
"I deserve what's coming for me" he slams his head in regret.
He then goes straight to the mountains near the village to escape.
Fan Sheng leaves quietly and reaches the mountains beside the village while trying to escape the masked man.
He runs faster such that he even loses his way into the woods.He couldn't find a single person in the woods and feels exhausted.
He lies down under a tree to take some rest under the shade of a tree in the scorching heat.
A woman passing by notices him and approaches him. She slowly tries to wake him up.
Fan sheng opens his eyes and finds a beautiful woman in front of him.
"Wow, she is so beautiful." he thought to himself.
"Are you thirsty?" She offered him some water.
"Yes.., Thankyou" he sips the water and feels refreshed after drinking it.
"What are you doing in the forest? Are you here on a hunt?"
Her expression clearly tells that she knows he is not here for hunting from his clothes.
"No, I am from the village down the mountain"
"I am just wandering here and got lost. Can you help me with the way to the village?"
She believes him as it sounds real after thinking for some time.
"Okay, I can guide you"
They both walk together and Fan Sheng notices her thin waist and broad hips.
She could tell that he is looking at her and turns around to confront him.
"What happened, Miss?"
His innocent expression made her stop and continue to walk. She could tell that he is not innocent but couldn't help but fall for his innocent looks.
"Miss, What is your name?"
"Is that any of your concern?" She tries to be firm against him and responds coldly.
"No Nothing, i just asked it casually"
"She is so cautious, maybe she has a special identity" Fan Sheng thinks to himself.
"System, can you scan the person before us and let me know her stats"
[Yes Host, Scanning…]
[Scanning Complete]
[Aura level: 15, Ability: Healer Level- 1]
"Great, we finally found a person with an Aura greater than 7"
"System, why don't you scan people from now on even if I don't say"
[Okay Host, Request Added]
"So, she is also a healer. Then she must be out searching herbs"
"What are you looking at?" the woman notices his stares peeking at her basket and asks him in an interrogative tone.
"Nothing, I just wanted to ask you something" He feels like she could see him through.
"What?"
"Are you searching for herbs in the forest?"
"Yes, Why do you care?"
"I thought if you need my help.."
"And why would I need your help?" she starts to grow suspicious of his identity.
"I am a healer, so i thought if that could help"
"Really?" she looks at him in hesitation.
She gives a cold stare "Are you really a Healer?"
She wants to confirm his identity before sharing anything with him.
"Yes.. I am"
"What is your Healing Level?"
"System, has our Healing level increased since we gained some Aura?"
[Yes Host, Current Host's Healing Level is Level 8]
"Great.."
"Yes Miss, I am a Level 8 healer"
"Really? Level 8?Then can you please check on my niece?" her cold and arrogant tone softened instantly.
"Yes, but what happened to her?"
"Let me show you" her face instantly filled with concern as she talks about her.
She takes him to her house where her niece is lying on the bed coughing in pain.
"She is such a cute child" He gently holds her right hand.
"What is her name?"
"Her name is Jin Wu" She then continues.
"Her mother passed away during her birth and she has been a sickly child since birth"
"I have cared for her since then, i couldn't see her in pain anymore. I just wanted to find some herbs to cure her"
Fan Sheng checks on her and he can feel her.
"I think I can cure her" He presses his fingers against her veins gently and places his palm on her forehead.
A light yellow light emerged from him and it travelled into the child's body as if she was being healed.
She is shocked to see such a sight as it looked so majestic. The child opened her eyes instantly. Her niece hugged her with a bright smile which brought tears to her face.
He could clearly say that she is truly happy and the smile of the child brought joy to him.
"Thankyou very much, I can't repay your favor ever" the woman cried with tears of joy.
"My brother has been searching for a good Healer for Jin Wu. But we are unable to afford a good Healer who can cure her."
"It's so great to find someone who is willing to help us"
Fan Sheng couldn't help but feel shy. "Its nothing, its something i should do"
"Sorry I forgot to introduce myself to you. My Name is Jin Shu and Its nice to meet you"
"Ohh Its okay, My name is Fan Sheng and I am new to this village"
"But is that so difficult to find a good healer, i think you can easily find one in the capital"
"Even though we could find some good healer, we still need to come up with the expenses for treatment"
"What do you mean by that?"
"There aren't many people with Divine Abilities and to increase the level of Cultivations, they need to practice very hard to become a good healers or to achieve any divine abilities"
"But aren't those cultivators always willing to help?"
"They would like to help, but recently the armies have recruited all capable Healers and many other gifted people. So there aren't many left who can save the common people"
"But why is that?"
"I am not sure, but I heard from my brother that different fractions stated to prepare private armies and there might be change of reign as it is the time for succession of the Throne"
