Chapter 4

"A Xing do you know him?" That man asked, the way he speaks makes Han Wenxing shiver from the overly familiar tone.

If you think about it they had only met for a few minutes, it hasn't even exceeded an hour from their meeting and the man already calls him 'A Xing' yet he (HWX) doesn't even know the man's name, okay!!!

"Yes, his name is Li Hanjing. Jing Ge treats me like his brother and we are also traveling together." Han Wenxing answered.

"Li Hanjing? It can't be him right?" The man said uncertainly. 'Is it really that annoying person? Then...'

"There's another one. Hold him for a bit." The man said as he walked towards another direction and brought back another man.

Han Wenxing was already surprised that Li Hanjing appeared here so he wasn't so surprised to see Han Liming.

He knew fully well that Han Liming would never let Li Hanjing follow him alone. He'd be surprised if Han Liming didn't follow along instead.

The man looked at Han Liming's face for a brief moment. "This person is-?" The man asked as he brought the man to Han Wenxing's side.

"His name is Han Liming, Jing Ge and him are a couple. They have been the ones taking care of me in the past days of the apocalypse."

Hearing the word couple the man couldn't help his lips from twitching. Looking at Li Hanjing who was passed out with a meaningful glance that the other can't see he thought, 'So you really have been conquered by the little General.'

"What's so funny?" Looking at the man's amused expression Han Wenxing couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing." Right after the man said that, they heard Li Hanjing groan.

"Jing Ge you're awake!!!" Li Hanjing heard Han Wenxing say as he opened his eyes to look around.

Seeing Han Wenxing with a certain person he couldn't help but take a deep breath, stabilizing his mind he looked up to Han Wenxing. "Yeah, what happened? Who's he?"

"I- I don't know." Han Wenxing really doesn't know, he doesn't know what happened after getting to that place. He doesn't even know the man's name. He felt helpless on how to answer Li Hanjing's questions.

Seeing Han Wenxing's uneasiness the man answered for him. "You fainted. Surname Lan, firstname Shuilian, I am called Lan Shuilian. A pleasure to meet you."

"I see, may I trouble to talk with Mr. Lan for a bit?" Li Hanjing said towards Lan Shuilian but his meaning was for Han Wenxing to leave.

"Sure. A Xing we'll talk for a bit please watch over Mr. Han, we'll be back soon." Saying this Lan Shuilian handed Han Liming's passed out body to Han Wenxing.

"It's better if it is us who moves to a quieter place Mr. Li." Lan Shuilian said towards Li Hanjing.

"Ok. Follow me." Li Hanjing agreed and led Lan Shuilian towards another direction.

Feeling that it was far enough Li Hanjing turned towards Lan Shuilian. "You got out? Is it really him?" If anyone heard his questions they would think that he two have met before.

But clearly at this moment the have only met, well if only Li Hanjing's former memories were not taken into consideration then they haven't.

In the moment that Li Hanjing got in contact with the dimensional jade he had began to remember a very past life. And in that life the man who was called Lan Shuilian existed to be his junior brother of the same sect.

The last time that the two had talked to each other was about more than a few thousand years back, Li Hanjing had came to see Lan Shuilian for the last time before he (LSL) made the decision to use the Jades to perform a spell to bring back their master but eventually failed and was imprisoned on the mountain.

It wasn't the first time that Li Hanjing had seen Lan Shuilian in another body. Every reincarnation of Li Hanjing would unknowingly pass through the mountain and come in contact with the jade. Every time he would be able to meet with Lan Shuilian afterwards with his memory restored.

But every time Li Hanjing would suffer an unknown illness and die at the age of 50. Because of this whenever the new reincarnation of Li Hanjing comes close to his dwelling Lan Shuilian would try his hardest to drive him out which was quite ineffective.

Regarding the topic of Han Liming though, Han Liming of their time was a righteous General that was on the verge of death due to an ambush from an enemy country.

It was their master that had brought Han Liming and accepted him as his third disciple. Han Liming was not part of any influencial family like other generals, he was a nameless orphan that joined the army and gained merits during the battles, one of which had prevented the invasion of barbarians towards their land when all has been lost and everyone was about to give up.

Because of this and the various achievements that he had done for the country it didn't take long before he was promoted to the position of General decreed by the emperor.

Even then before his death he had made sure that his country was safe and sound before he accepted his fate to walk the yellow river. It was out of his expectations to meet his master and gained a new chance to live.

Han was the surname of their master and Lin was his first name. Han Liming was given this surname to change his identity.

In their small peak their master Han Lin treated them for like brothers that master and disciples which was why they would often not address him as master but by his name, especially when they are alone together.

Outside they still called him master. Their master was their source of joy, happiness and second chance. They would do anything for him even if they break the heavenly laws.

It was this reason that cultivation vanished from existence a thousand years ago and imprisoned Lan Shuilian on the mountain. The former cultivators found that the years accumulated energy seemed to decrease as years go by and soon disappeared forever.

The long life that cultivation promised them disappeared as well, the former cultivators thus once again began their life as humans with no power.

Many lived waiting for the time when they'll be able to cultivate again but years passed and nothing happened. They could only pass their knowledge to their younger generation hoping that when that time came they would be able to cultivate instead.
