"Senior Ju, you have already met the 5th prince, right?" asked Old Tang.

"Yes, I do. He is a very promising little fellow." Granny Ju answered enthusiastically.

"Indeed, actually, he had hidden his real strength and abilities almost all the time he spent here in the Tang palace. And I had my eyes only on Mie Lien. But, now, I change my plan. Actually, I have been waiting for him too. From him, I could see the new future for our Tang Sect." Old Tang cited, remembering the scenes of Joey making various achievements as he traveled from the Eastern Continent to the Central continent.

Granny Ju listened attentively.

"Senior Ju, I have a request from you." Old Tang said with a pleading look shown all over his face.

"What is it, Patriarch Tang?" Granny Ju replied casually.

"When we all leave for the middle-realm worlds, I have only one request for you. You can take it either as an order or rather as a friendly request from me. " Old Tang replied, looking at her meaningfully. "Please, follow the 5th prince and be his guardian until he gets strong enough."

"Patriarch Tang, I gladly accept your order. And also, I really like to help that little fellow too. He once saved my grandson and your disciple when he once visited the Undying Forest." Granny Ju agreed gladly to his suggestion. "Sire, I have some more family business to attend, and also have taken most of your valuable time. This servant will take my leave." She bowed at him, stood up, and the next moment she disappeared from inside the room as if she wasn't there at all.

Old Tang was all alone, sitting inside his humblest abode. "My dearest beautiful, Mie Lien. How have you been? Your grandpa wishes to drink the wine you brew yourself once again." He muttered under his breath as he reminisced about the time he spent with her before. After that, he suddenly remembered the fierce youth with a longbow in his hand. "5th prince, I'm sorry, you have to carry all the burden of the Tang Nation in your arms. When you were here in the palace, I never once even treated you well. But still, you are Tang after all, and you have the strength to bear the burden of our humiliation and revenge."

North-Western Region of the Great Tang Nation,

It was a beautiful summer morning. Inside an inn, a lady who seemed to be in her early 30s came rushing into a room. If Joey was here, he would know who the lady was. It was Aunt Bai, his nanny, and also his mother's personal maid-slash-best friend. Her cultivating base continuously grew as she was also an immortal who walked on the path of immortality, so she never looked older, yet she looked younger and younger over the years as her cultivation base increased.

"Ah, that naughty boy is not here! He's doing it again. Now, I have to start looking for him all over the town for his whereabouts. Master, for the chores I have to carry out, why did you give such an impossible task of looking after my youngest martial brother? At this rate, my hair will turn gray soon before I meet sister Menglou once again." Aunt Bai muttered to herself.

Then, she kicked her leg very hard over the floor made from the hardest wood on earth and she bellowed her lunge out, "Xiao Feng! You little sneaky monkey. Brace yourself, next time I find you, I will put a leash over your neck."

Then she quickly bolted out of the room and searched for any trace left behind by her youngest martial brother.

Meanwhile, in a jungle not far away from the town, an eleven-year-old boy was currently chasing a strange dragon-horse for two hours straight. But the boy still failed to catch up with the red color dragon-horse. And the boy didn't give up too. The boy was no doubt any other than Xiao Feng.

Suddenly, the dragon-horse halted and neighed while looking up at the air.

"Good boy. Do you give up now? Haha….. Don't worry, from today onward we'll be a good friend and you are going to become my steed." After laughing a little, Xiao Feng strolled leisurely toward the dragon-horse that had been struck by worry.

Then, out of nowhere, a red arrow shot down from the sky and struck the thigh of the dragon-horse.

The horse with the dragon's head neighed painfully and fell over the ground.

"No, no, no…"Xiao Feng flashed toward the dying horse. He took out the arrow from its body and he began to heal the horse by putting his palm over the wounded region of the horse. Within a minute, a very fast healing process took place, and the wound was completely healed. The horse stood on its feet again and roared at the sky angrily and the next moment, another red arrow flew toward its head.

"Hmph!" Xiao Feng snorted and caught the arrow with his hand and shouted,  "Hey, stop trying to hurt my steed."

The next instant, fifteen flying war chariots which were driven by strange flying lizards appeared out of the blue in the sky and halted just above Xiao Feng.

"Hey, country bumpkin, that is my sport. Get outta my way or otherwise, I'll kill you first." A youth donned with a red Daoist robe shouted. Then he pointed his arrowhead, aiming at the head of Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng caressed the horse, calming him down first and he then glanced up high in the air and shouted back, "Hey, this is my Tang nation region. And I'm responsible for anything here. If you want to kill my horse, then you have to go through me first. But, a word of advice for you: if you shoot another arrow at us once again, then I will take your head."

"Insolence! A peasant like you dare to talk back to me. Die!" The youth in one of the war chariots tugged his bowstring and was almost about to release the arrow.
