Back For My Daughter

While Little Jia sat on the small bench beside the bus stop looking around at the new area they had walked this time, Ye Qian had his cold eyes locked onto the man who had tried to extend his hand towards Little Jia a few moments ago.

"Feifei, do you think he is a bad man?"

Little Jia asked as she munched on the small pack of savoury snacks that was given to her by her Papa after he gently placed her on the ground.

"CHI CHI!"

The little thing nodded her two feathery hands pointing at the stranger from before.

"Ohhh."

"Then I think he needs punishment for what he has done."

As if she had understood what her little friend wanted to say, Little Jia nodded her head and looked at her Papa, who seemed to be asking the stranger while the fellow was on his knees, likely begging as he was crying.

Meanwhile, a few moments ago.

After the little girl went to the bench, Ye Qian turned to the man with a freezing glint in his eyes.

The man who had just been frozen due to the pressure around him was sweating bullets even in this somewhat pleasant weather, while his face seemed as if he was begging Ye Qian to let him go.

"Fate wanted you to live and gave you a chance once, but you were just too stringent to accept it and still were trying to look for my daughter."

Ye Qian muttered, taking a glance at Feifei.

Maybe if the man had gone away after Feifei had torn his mysterious magical map and somewhat rendered it useless, he might have been able to live.

It was in fact his luck that the little thing was feeling good and didn't leave a fire imprint within him like how she had done to the people on the highway a few days ago while Ye Qian and Guo Yulao were going to the Wang Jin's place.

However, the young man was pretty strong-headed to let go and lose face before everyone that he had pulled this upon himself.

"Please, I beg you, spare me, master."

According to him, the man in front of him was even stronger than the Grand Elders of his school, causing him to feel deep fear as to what might happen.

With a literal spark of red fire burning in his eyes, Ye Qian growled.

"You have long ago crossed the line to be spared, but I will give you a choice, tell me all about this and why you were after my child?"

Being someone who now had complete control over the Fire Of Pridid, Ye Qian could now control the fire at whim without needing to have a pure heart which was one of the previous requirements, of course, that didn't mean that he would change.

"GULP!"

The man gulped hard, his legs shaking as he saw the real fire that was burning in this man's eyes.

He had never heard of anything like this and was sure that even if some of the elders from his school had the ability to somewhat control the fire, they definitely didn't have the fire within them.

Fire was an element of growth as well as immense destruction, and even if one could have the power to wield it externally, no one was powerful enough to assimilate it within one's body.

In fact, this kind of technique was never heard of, not just him, but even the so-called masters of his school would tremble in fear at this sight.

"I am Hao Ran, the eldest disciple of my teacher, Zheng Kui. I come from the Crimson Mountain School, we have very powerful people, who would easily overpower tens of normal people with ease."

He didn't even dare to imagine threatening the man before him with the power of his school, and in fact, feared that it would only enrage him even more.

Ye Qian frowned upon hearing the slight description, not because he was worried about their strength or numbers, but the fact that he was alone, and despite having people who would help, they won't be able to outlast and outnumber people like Hao Ran and others from his school.

Even this young man before him stood at the middle stages of Chi Gathering, a level that Le Zheng himself had reached about more than a week ago.

And if many of them came after his family, it would cause some unnecessary trouble, not like he won't be able to handle them all by himself, but while he would, there was a chance that things might leak out and he didn't want to attract any trouble towards his family.

There was a very simple saying--- What people don't understand, they fear, and try to get rid of it.

While he would be caught up in handling these people, he didn't want anyone to find anything about him or his family by others, lest it bring them trouble.

"Our school had an ancestral treasure..."

Hao Ran took a glance at the half-torn map in Ye Qian's hand and sighed.

"The map is... was capable of finding rare treasures with Spiritual Energy which was why we were able to grow to become the top five schools in our region."

Ye Qian frowned once again and looked at the map in his hand.

Although he could see that it had a simple directional formation within it, and would point out to TREASURES with high spiritual energy, he couldn't tell just how it related to his daughter.

"Then why are you after her?"

Ye Qian glared, causing the young man to almost stammer and he fell on his knees.

"A few weeks ago, our Grand Elder informed us that we had a great mission at hand, someone with the Pure Ice Goddess has awakened and I, being the most able disciple of all, was tasked with this mission."

While he said that, Hao Ran gritted his teeth, regretting his decision.

It wasn't like he was told to go there, but it was he who had asked for it, the Grand Elder wanted to send his junior brother for the mission, but he thought that after the mission was completed his junior brother would gain better resources and would quickly surpass him stepped in and took the mission.

"What does your school want to do with the holder of Ice Goddess Body."

Ye Qian's eyes narrowed, he knew that the one with Ice Goddess Body was none other the Jia, who had the Twin Ice Pheonix Body.
