The Unknown Beauty 214 Feeling safe

It's been 6 months since she left the Chu Empire. She's been enjoying the quiet life in the Unknown forest. 

Han Bingwen and Lin Yu Yan enjoy life where it's quiet. Where no one can disturb their peace and this what happened these past few months.

Han Bingwen and Lin Yu Yan are still enjoying their time in the Unknown forest. With the previous Yu Yan's memories, Lin Yu Yan had fun capturing animals to eat and kill. 

Not only that, she wanted to really clear her mind. since so much has happened to her, she wanted to feel free and worry about nothing for a while. 

Since she found out she is from the blood clan, she figured it was probably best to learn how to use it properly. She remembered the days she spent with her mother's harsh training. 

'It's something unavoidable at this point,' she thought. Not that she didn't want the power, it's more like if she used it, the blood clan might find where she is so it's best if she can control it before it's too late.

At the moment, Han Bingwen has gone to his home and Lin Yu Yan is just chilling. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

She's in the middle of a hunt, chasing a horned rabbit. Concealing her presence, she crept up to the rabbit. She still didn't get the chance to fight properly. Lin Yu Yan and her brother didn't want to hurt each other so they had a petty fight which of course didn't feel right to go full power.

So she wanted to get better. Horned rabbits have a keen sense of touch, feeling vibrations through the ground so she has to somehow approach the animal without triggering it to move.

Like an assassin, she moved in, striking it beautifully, with even a slight movement in the air.

"Nice," she said. 

She has four years before they can meet again with the others. By then, she somehow wants to get rid of the blood clan so the others won't be in danger when she is around. 

"What a beautiful kill," said a voice. She turned around to see a middle-aged man. He's quite handsome despite looking over 40 years old. She could tell many women have flocked all over him in the past as it was a little awkward for him to speak to her.

She couldn't believe she didn't feel him around her. It shocked her greatly since she was paying attention to her surroundings and couldn't detect the old man. But the old man had no dark feelings around him and she couldn't detect anything evil about this encounter.

"Thank you…?" she said, confused if she should even speak the man. 

"Would you like to join my clan?" he said. He walked a bit closer with each step making no sound.

"Huh?" Lin Yu Yan was confused. 'Why would he offer me that?'

"Honey?" said another voice. It was a middle-aged woman. She was beautiful. She still had a beautiful face with a few wrinkles due to age. She came out of the bushes, surprised to see Lin Yu Yan deep in the Unknown forest. 

Lin Yu Yan couldn't detect her either. It made her concern if there are others like them around her. 

"Don't worry my child. It's just us," said the middle-aged man. 

"Oh my... why is someone like you in the middle of the forest?" she asked. 

"Ah…" Lin Yu Yan didn't know what to say. 

The two adults look at her and based on her clothing, old and dirty, she hasn't been in a town. But strangely enough, she doesn't have a foul odor nor looks starved. In fact, she looks very healthy and plump.

She has a few accessories that didn't match her overall outfit so they knew she had to be a very skilled martial artist. 

"I was… hunting," she had nothing to say. She would lie like she has done to other adults to not create any trouble but these two are on a totally different level than her grandfather, Minister Quan and Min Fu-Han. 

'Their eyes move around quickly, judging the situation like a skilled martial artist… I can't lie to them,' she thought. So that was all she came up with. 

"I see," said the middle-aged woman. "How old are you…? You look a little young to be traveling alone…"

"I'm 14 years old. I will be 15 in 2 months…" Lin Yu Yan said.

As always, her looks throw everyone off, thinking she's in her late teens instead. Their eyes widen. They can tell she wants to conceal her whereabouts but they could see her eyes are clear as day and know she wasn't lying. 

'Why do they feel so familiar to me?' Lin Yu yan thought. She didn't know why these two look familiar to her but she has never seen them in her life.

"I see… would you like to join us?" said the middle-aged woman asked.

"No… I prefer to be alone…" said Lin Yu Yan. 

"Don't be like that. Come join us for dinner," said the middle-aged man. 

They were being persistent and for some reason, she agreed to go. They lead her to their small camp and Lin Yu Yan offered the horned rabbit for dinner. Lin Yu Yan lend a hand with the preparation.

"So… how did you learn that skill? We barely felt your presence," said the middle-aged man. 

"Well… from my mother and father," Lin Yu Yan said.

"Where are your parents? Someone like you at that age shouldn't be traveling in such a dangerous forest like this one," asked the middle-aged woman.

"Well… they're not here anymore…" 

"Ah… I apologize."

"It's no problem… it was 10 years ago…" 

That was a surprise to them. Usually, it takes years to perfect that skill is stealth and if the fact that her parents were out of her life so early means she is quite the genius. 

Her skills were almost perfect. They never seen someone at her age learn that fast and well. 

They could also feel her level of cultivation, surprised she reached such a level. No one in the world at her age has never reached a level like hers. 

'A 1-star martial supreme… I was 25 when I reached that stage. Her only flaw is the intense feelings she has…' thought the man.

He looked into her eyes, clear as day. The fact that she seemed to have gone through hell and back with her eyes and emotions attached makes it hard to believe.

'No, I think is a blessing because she hasn't lost her humanity. Most people would have been lost in gaining more power but she… she has strong mental strength,' thought the middle-aged man. 

He observed her, surprised how young yet powerful the child in front of him is.

Lin Yu Yan didn't know why she felt scared. She was very cautious that the others could feel her discomfort. 

"Relax, little one. Nothing will happen," he said. 

It was strange to hear that. It was VERY strange for her to hear that. She was 100% always on the lookout since she knew she was always in danger. For some odd reason, those words with such a warm voice made her calm down. 

Lin Yu Yan looked at the couple and a strange feeling overcame her. She finally relaxed, taking deep breaths. 

She had dinner with them while carefully answering some of their questions. Soon enough, it was nighttime and Lin Yu Yan fell asleep against a tree log around the fire. The middle-aged woman used her lap as a pillow for Lin Yu Yan and stroked her hair.

"Honey… it's strange. She is too skilled for a 14-year-old," said the Middle-aged woman. 

"I didn't even notice her. We were hunting the same horned rabbit but she got the kill before me," said the middle-aged man. 

"It's sad… it seems she had to go through some rough stuff to gain such amazing skills… she's too young. She had kind eyes but she was so cautious as if the whole world was against her being alive." (w)

"I agree… she is cautious but weary. She has a strong will to live. She seems so exhausted with those tired eyes." (m)

"I was so surprised to see someone this deep in the forest. Luckily we found her before someone got to her," said the middle-aged woman. She looked up, noticing the air slightly changing. "Honey, go take care of them." 

The middle-aged man nodded his head and left his wife alone. The reason why they insisted to take Lin Yu Yan with them was that they were on the run from their last job. 

This time the ones following them tracked them and in order to keep Lin Yu Yan safe, they wanted to keep her close. 

The smell of blood filled the air as the middle-aged man finished the job, killing the people trying to kill them. He came back, clean with no heavy breathing. 

The middle-aged woman stroked Lin Yu Yan's hair, relaxing her even knowing that blood could be smelled in the air. The middle-aged man sat next to his wife thinking about something. 

"She would make an excellent assassin," he said.

"Yes… she would…" said the middle-aged woman. "And maybe an excellent daughter-in-law."

"She would… but our three sons are technically engaged," he said. 

"True… and we have one trouble making one that won't come back home. Our youngest said he has a girl he's chasing at the moment."

"Huh… I wouldn't think my genius son would be the most troubling one," said the middle-aged man. 

"Haha. My love, you were like that too," she said. She chuckled remembering the times when they were young. 

"Hmm… he's is going to find a way out of this engagement for sure," said the middle-aged man. 

"Like father like son," she said. 

"I hope the girl he loves is as lovely as this little one," he said.

"Me too."

"Do you still have the note?" he asked his wife. 

"I still have it… It has a strange particular smell of lavender," she said. She held it up showing she has it in her hands.

"Doesn't matter. As long as we can return it to our client and get our reward, then it's fine."
