The next day…

The destruction of the Fah family was known throughout the whole town. However, the Yang family was not as ruthless as the Fah family and spared the females and the children. They put them in a secluded village near the town. This is the limit of the mercy that the Yang family can offer them. But of course, they eliminated those who didn't surrender.

Now with the support of an artifact that Shin Jiao took from the Fah family patriarch, the Yang family is now known as the new powerhouse of the town.

If once again became peaceful.

In the meantime, as a preparation for the travel, Shin Jiao had an idea. He already felt that the goggles he is using are too outdated and a bit burdensome to carry. Hence he decided to make new gear.

"Hmm… using eyeglasses would be fine but in battles, it's a bit cumbersome. Then how about…" Shin Jiao had an idea. But he didn't know if it is feasible or not, but of course, he has to try it out first.

He took out some of his tools inside this ring and began crafting.

Using a polycarbonate material, which he had on his stockpile as he uses such material in making the mechs and their electronics parts, he began to make something.

He put on his goggles and zoomed towards the material he is going to start crafting. This time he couldn't use his hands, instead, he took out tweezers and a pen-like object with a sharp point. These are the tools he usually uses to craft microchips with runes.

As he prepares all the materials he suddenly misses his workshop and the people from the earth. He also thought of Susan Tang and how she is doing. But from the life detection on his bracers, she seems to be doing fine out there.

He patted his face and began his long work.

While working inside the room prepared for him by the Yang family, a festive atmosphere enveloped the whole of the Yang courtyard as they all once again prepares for a feast. This is to celebrate their victory against their enemies. The feast would be held tomorrow night, and they have invited most of the town's influential figures.

Inside a study room in the Yang's residence, four people are sitting on the sofa in the center of the room.

"Wen'er, what do you think of the senior Ji? Do you think he helped us because he has feelings for you?" Yulian Ye, Wen Mo Yang's biological mother said with a teasing look on her eyes.

"Mom! Don't say that…" Wen Mo Yang retorted showing an angry expression, but her blushing face only looks cute.

"Well, if you don't want him, we can call for your second sister, Yao'er to come home. Maybe the two of them can have some feelings for each other… You know your sister is also strong and is already a successful woman in terms of alchemy in the Er Kingdom. Maybe the two of them can get together… Hihi…" added Yulian Ye with a giggle.

When Ai Cho heard this, she shook her head.

"Sister Yulian, you know that child's temper. I think master Ji would experience misfortune if he is with that girl." Ai Cho said while berating her daughter in her mind.

Qin Yao Yang is Ai Cho's daughter and the second sister of Wen Mo Yang. She is close to her siblings and knew that what her mother concubine said was true. Qin Yao Yang is a very stubborn and willful young woman. She has pestered men to insanity especially those who show the intent of courting her.

In the main city of Er kingdom where alchemy is well-known and their specialization, Qin Yao Yang has already made a name for herself. Everyone is calling her the next alchemy prodigy, just like the famous princess Qin Lou of the Xi Empire.

"Alright, alright… that's enough. I just want to know your plans. After going back to your school… What about, senior Ji?" Guang Yang asked while in deep thought.

Wen Mo Yang looks at her parents and heaves a sigh. In truth, she is a bit disappointed at the situation at hand. In fact, she truly found Shin Jiao in a new light now, and is somewhat a bit attracted to him, especially after he shows no greed or haughtiness upon defeating his foes.

In this world, it is rare for a man to show such indifference against their enemies. Even his father who is good-natured and calm would sometimes go overboard in dealing with his foes.

"No father, I will just travel with him to the city and from there I… I don't know. I just have to wait and see what happens next."

"Alright, now that you've grown into such a strong woman, I am confident that you can decide on your own… just don't let any opportunity to snag a handsome and powerful man home in the process, okay?"

"Father…" Wen Mo Yang said while blushing as she hugs her father who is sitting on her side.

…

Two days later

Shin Jiao and Wen Mo Yang are now on the road. As they approach the exit of the village and behind them are her family members, the group wave farewell to each other.

The truth is that Wen Mo Yang can stay in the town for a month as it was vacation time in school. However, because her family owes Shin Jiao a big deal they need to at least pay the man back. Since Shin Jiao didn't ask them for anything and even gave them a strong weapon, this is their only way to at least help him.

When the two arrive outside the town, Shin Jiao took out a new hoverbike that he spent time crafting yesterday.

The hoverbike is a two-seater, with the engine at the back connected to the seats and a hexagonal metal frame for its body since he didn't have time to design, it just looks very simple.

He got inside the hoverbike and gesture for Wen Mo Yang to enter. Under the astonished gazes of the people, Shin Jiao started the machine and it smoothly hovers to the air. He then activated the rune on the hoverbike and a thin film of energy surrounded it as it suddenly began to move along the road.

Wen Mo Yang was still astounded at the machine, but she didn't forget to turn back and wave goodbye to her parents and people.

Then when they were a few distances away, Shin Jiao made the hoverbike raise to the air a little bit until they are now above the trees, he then began to accelerate as they speed past through the air.

"Brother Ji, this… this thing is amazing… where did you buy it? Wait!… don't tell me you've been to Shin City?"

"Ow, so these kinds of machines exist there?" Shin Jiao asked nonchalantly.

He already knew that Shin City is now able to use anti-gravity runes and electric fusion power engines. This is the reason why their ships can fly across Daemon forest which has a restriction in flying artifacts that uses Qi or mana.

"Yes, I also want to visit that place. Some of my classmates who went there on their last vacation said that there are moving metal golems in that place that is controlled by mortals… you know in our kingdom, mortals still have low statuses. Unlike in Shin City where everyone seems to be equal." She said while a gleam of aspiration, hope, and desire is in her eyes.

Shin Jiao just nodded his head and smile.

"Do you want to know how to pilot this thing?" he suddenly said.

When Wen Mo Yang heard his words, she immediately showed a beaming smile on her beautiful face. Seeing her, Shin Jiao's heart suddenly became heavy. He suddenly remembers Susan Tang's beautiful smiling face and her beautiful expressions.

"Brother Ji, can I really try this thing!?" she exclaimed excitedly.

With a nod, Shin Jiao taught Wen Mo Yang on how to pilot the hoverbike.

The trip that should take them a long time on regular travel, only took them a day. They can now see the shadow of the huge city on the horizon.

Shin Jiao was amazed at the ancient-looking huge city. Then Wen Mo Yang began explaining the things she knew in the city and the places that one can visit and enjoy. She was too happy to notice that they are already nearing the city gate.

Their hovering vehicle has already attracted some people on the road as they notice this unidentified vehicle.

The two got off near the gate and began walking down the road. However, they didn't walk far enough when a group of people suddenly blocks their path.

The people are holding weapons and the others who are also walking in their direction walk to the side as they didn't want to be entangled with this mess.

However, not all are afraid and some even wanted to join the fun.

In this world, where many cultivators are looking down on others and the strong ruled the weak, some arrogant people with strong and powerful background would almost always bully the weak. Hence it is not new that Shin Jiao and Wen Mo Yang would encounter such a group.

They were all eyeing the hoverbike that the two have used as it looks cool and interesting.

"You two should stop… take out that thing that you use to travel and present it to our master… if not then don't blame us for killing you… Hehe…" a man said while eyeing Shin Jiao and Wen Mo Yang.

But his eyes rested on the beautiful young body of Wen Mo Yang like a hungry wolf.

Seeing this scene, Shin Jiao frowns.. This is not as simple as it looks.
