Chapter 59 Trends
Fengdang, Sujia Village.
"Sister Yang, it's been almost three months, and we still haven't found Xiaoya. Auntie cries every day, and I'm so worried," Xiaoyue said to Yang Hualing.
"Sigh... We've investigated everything we needed to investigate, and searched all the places we needed to search, but every time the clues go back to that location, they just disappear."
"Now, I don't know how to continue the search." Yang Hualing sighed helplessly.
Xiaoyue cried and hugged Yang Hualing tightly, continuing, "Is Xiaoya gone? Otherwise, why hasn't she come back after so long?"
Why did she chase after me then? If only I had stopped her, she wouldn't be in this situation now.
"We haven't found her body yet, how can you say she's gone? As long as we haven't found her, it means she might still be alive. Okay, okay, stop crying."
Yang Hualing comforted Xiaoyue.

"Mother, please stop crying. My sister will be alright. You've forgotten who she is..." Lin He whispered in Lin Su's ear.
Lin's mother: "I know, that's why I'm worried. It's been three months, and there's still no news. Waaah..."
Mr. Lin also tried to persuade Mrs. Lin, as the Lin family had been living in a depressed state for the past three months.
It was as if the sky had fallen. Such a lovely and intelligent person had simply disappeared without a trace.
The Spirit Kingdom, the Illusionary Spirit Palace.
Before even entering the mansion, I could hear the people inside throwing a tantrum.
"A bunch of useless trash. You've been searching for this young girl for three months and haven't found a single clue. Am I keeping you around to eat?"
The empress threw the things on the table all over the floor.
The crowd was so frightened that they immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
The reason why the Empress cares so much about Lin Yundan is because Lin Yundan cured the innate malpractice of Hua Lingxing, one of the nine stars of the Illusionary Spirit Garden.
This shows that Lin Yundan's medical skills are extremely high, no less than those of the people in Medicine King Valley, and may even be more advanced.
This forced the Empress to take Lin Yundan's importance seriously.
"Go, go, go, get out of here!"
The Empress cursed angrily.
"Yes, we'll go right away."
A group of maids quickly withdrew and went outside.
"The Empress has been so fierce lately, she gets angry at the drop of a hat."
"Shh... Stop talking, stop talking, or the Empress will hear you and you'll be punished again."
The Empress was now alone in the room. Gazing into the distance, she murmured to herself:
"Little girl, you didn't lose so easily, did you? You managed to teach Hua Lingxing so well in such a short time, don't be defeated so easily."
The Qin Kingdom, in the shadows.
"Reporting to Your Excellency, the Third Shadow, Absolute, the Fourth Shadow, and Hidden have not reported for three months," a subordinate said, kneeling on one knee to the person sitting above.
"Oh, didn't Jue and Yin go to assassinate officials of the Ling Kingdom? Why haven't they reported back yet?" the person above asked curiously.
"Your Excellency, Jue and Yin went to assassinate him three months ago but failed and have not yet returned."
Normally, if I don't report for duty each month, I'll receive a letter, but this time I haven't received any information from them for three months.
"Okay, then let Wu Lang and Liu Ye take a few people to investigate. If they find anything suspicious, ask them questions and let them handle it as they see fit."
"Yes, sir. I'll take my leave now."
After his subordinates left, the person above muttered to himself.
"They haven't returned for three months, and there's been no news of them. Could they have been murdered? If someone could kill them, I'd really like to know who it is. This is quite interesting. Haha..."
A piercing sound came from the door, making the person at the door tremble involuntarily.
The abyss, the bottom of the valley.
In a small bamboo hut, an old man lay on a bed, seemingly asleep.
He had a full head of white hair and a white beard, but his face was clean and tidy, and it was clear that someone had cleaned him up.
He lay there quietly, dressed in the simple clothes of an ordinary person.
Outside the house, in the open space, there were two people, a little girl and an old man, looking at each other face to face.
"Uncle Leng, stop dodging me! I'm not practicing anymore!" the little girl said sullenly.
"Little Yundan, your Linglong Divine Skill is truly amazing. It seems to be a Taoist technique, yet it also seems to carry a touch of Confucian culture. The moves are both soft and strong, soft and strong at the same time."
Just like that soft, weak palm technique you just used, once someone is under your control, they have to follow your moves, making them too passive.
If they don't follow your palm technique, they have no way to attack. It's so frustrating, so incredibly frustrating.
And those ever-changing sword techniques are even more difficult to defend against.
If someone of equal skill level were to spar with you for the first time, they would definitely be defeated within a few moves.
"Isn't that obvious? Don't be fooled by Tai Chi's soft and gentle appearance; it was created by that old man, Jiazi Dangmo, when he was a hundred years old."
In our time, all the old men in the park knew this kind of boxing; they were all masters.
Although I had only seen it on TV in my previous life, I could still improve upon it using my own exquisite skills.
"Compared to real Tai Chi mastery, mine is a simplified version, something I practiced just for fun."
Yun Dan secretly thought to herself that if the real Zhang Junbao came, he would beat Leng Xiyue to a pulp.
"Uncle Leng, you keep saying that I'm at the Lesser Yuan Realm. Is that a realm classification for martial artists in your martial arts world?"
"Eh... Little Yun Dan, don't you know about the division of realms?"
"Who taught you martial arts? The person who taught you was utterly incompetent. Hmph... truly misleading young people."
When Leng Xiyue heard Yun Dan ask this question, she said angrily.
Yun Dan quickly explained, "Uncle Leng, no one taught me martial arts; I figured it out myself."
When Leng Xiyue heard Yun Dan say that she had figured it out herself, she was startled. She quickly walked to Yun Dan's side, placed her palm on Yun Dan's stomach, closed her eyes, and felt the dantian inside Yun Dan's body.
(The author doesn't know where the dantian is either, because the author has seen the character Yi Tianxing in "Young Zhang Sanfeng" (played by Alec Su).)
I placed my hand on Yi Jifeng's stomach to probe his internal strength, so I'm just quoting it here.
Please refrain from criticism, dear readers. Thank you very much.
Leng Xiyue was increasingly alarmed as she explored the area. This young girl possessed such immense and profound internal energy, yet she was only at the Lesser Yuan Realm.
After Leng Xiyue withdrew from probing Yun Dan, she asked Yun Dan a question, blushing slightly.
"Little Yun Dan, did you really cultivate on your own and never have anyone taught you?"
Leng Xiyue asked Lin Yundan again, still in disbelief.
Yun Dan shook her head at him: "It is true that I have been cultivating alone since I was 8 years old."
Then, when I had internal energy about the thickness of a chopstick, my companions in the village discovered me.
Then I taught them, and from then on we all practiced together.
"A prodigy, a prodigy, Xiao Yundan, you are truly a genius. At such a young age, you have created a set of cultivation techniques that suit you, and it is such a comprehensive and divine skill."
"Amazing, truly amazing, with limitless potential!"
Leng Xiyue was genuinely happy for Lin Yundan, who was so young, that she could create such a powerful skill.
Sometimes I feel like she's a bit silly, like she knows everything else but doesn't know much about martial arts.
"Heh, in my original world, let alone martial arts, it's not like I don't know how to cultivate immortality techniques, I could cultivate immortality."
It's strange that the Emperor left in such a hurry. I didn't even have time to ask him for a top-tier cultivation technique before he was gone.
They even said the old Taoist priest in the room couldn't use spiritual power in this realm—there are just too many suspicious points.
As Yun Dan pondered, she heard Leng Xiyue continue speaking.
Leng Xiyue: "Little Yun Dan, then I will tell you about the martial arts realms in our Jianghu. Before I talk about realms, you need to know about the factions and forces between countries."
