Chapter 1082 Kitten After being teleported, Su Yang found himself in an unfamiliar place. He was surrounded by trees, seemingly deep in a forest. Nearby, he could hear the gentle sound of flowing water. The atmosphere was serene, with fresh, clean air that made him feel instantly relaxed. Unfortunately, he couldn't afford to relax, so he remained vigilant as he quickly analyzed his surroundings. Xiao Rong emerged from his Dantian, ready to protect him. However, even with All-Seeing Celestial Eyes, no matter how much he tried, he couldn't sense anyone around him. "Can you sense anything?" he asked Xiao Rong, who also shook her head. 'If even Xiao Rong can't sense them, we should be alone here…' Just as he thought they were alone, a female voice resounded, "Do you know where you're at?" "..." Su Yang was surprised to hear the voice since this meant they were dealing with an individual even Xiao Rong couldn't sense. 'It's highly likely they're using a treasure to hide from Xiao Rong's spiritual sense…' "Who are you? And why are you doing this?" Su Yang asked out loud. "Just answer my question. Do you remember this place?" The voice responded. Seeing how the voice had no intention of hurting them at the moment, Su Yang decided to play along. He flew into the air and examined his surroundings more closely. 'I don't recognize this place, but it does feel familiar…' he thought to himself. "I'll give you one hour to remember. If you fail, I'll kill the both of you." The voice resounded a few minutes later. However, it only took several minutes before Su Yang started to recognize the place. 'Isn't this the training grounds outside the Fleeting Sword Sect?' Su Yang eventually remembered. The first sect he ever joined was the Fleeting Sword Sect, and they had an outdoor training area several miles away from the sect. This location greatly resembled that area. It took a while for him to remember since it had been countless years since he visited. "I recognize this place," he said out loud once he was confident in his answer. "It's the Fleeting Sword Sect's outdoor training ground." "..." After a moment of silence, the voice returned, "Are you certain that's your answer? I'll kill you if you're wrong." "Yes, I am willing to bet my life on this answer." "You're correct. This is indeed the Fleeting Sword Sect's training ground. Now, onto the second question." "What did you do there? Everything you did." Su Yang raised an eyebrow at this question. "What? Don't tell me you've never been there before, even though you recognize this place?" As if the voice could read his mind, they said. "You don't have to pretend anymore, Xiao Yang… or should I call you Su Yang?" "..." Su Yang didn't expect his identity to be exposed in such a manner, but he wasn't panicking, either. 'Since they went out of their way to bring me to this secluded area, I doubt they have any intention of exposing me, but I cannot understand the purpose of this. Is this one of them playing a trick on me?' Su Yang wondered if it was one of his family members messing with him, as they were the only ones who were aware of his return. In a composed manner, Su Yang closed his eyes and began speaking as he recalled his past at the Fleeting Sword Sect. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮 "The training ground had one purpose—to let the Fleeting Sword Sect disciples experience the outside world as a cultivator. The sect captures spiritual beasts and tosses them into the training ground for the disciples to hunt." "I visited that place often when I was an Outer Court disciple, spending weeks at a time hunting spiritual beasts. I would occasionally find treasures there. Of course, these treasures were planted by the sect to encourage its disciples to go there." "That's all I did there." "Are you sure that's all you did there?" The voice asked. "Of course. What else would I do there besides hunting spiritual beasts? I cannot think of anything else." "I will give you one last chance, Su Yang. When I say everything, I mean it literally." Seeing how stubborn this voice was being, Su Yang returned to his memories to see if he'd missed anything. 'Since this person is adamant I left something behind, it must be pretty significant, and it's directly related to this person… but I really don't remember doing anything too significant there besides hunting spiritual beasts…' As he pondered, Su Yang subconsciously looked at Xiao Rong, who was still alert and on the lookout for any potential danger. 'Huh? Wait a second…' Looking at Xiao Rong gave his memories a quick jolt, allowing him to recall something out of the ordinary. "I remember now!" he showed a face of realization. "During one of my usual routines at the training ground, I encountered something that did not belong there—a kitten. This kitten was hurt at that time, so I gave it some medicine and even brought it back to my living quarters, where I let it rest until it fully recovered." "However, even after it fully recovered, it would follow me around for a few more years. Then, one day, without any notice, the kitten left." "That's everything that I did at the training ground, and my answer is final." "..." The voice did not return. Suddenly, Su Yang noticed a small figure appearing from the corner of his eyes. He immediately shifted his head to look at this figure. The figure belonged to a cat—a white cat, and it looked really familiar. "Xiao Rong?" Su Yang raised his eyebrows. However, Xiao Rong was right beside him, so this cat couldn't be her. Yet, this cat looked exactly like Xiao Rong in her beast form when she had her powers sealed. "This is my first time appearing before you in this form…" The cat spoke in a calm yet trembling voice. "Huh? That voice…" Without her voice disguised any longer, Su Yang instantly recognized it. "Xu Xuan? Is that you?" he muttered with wide eyes filled with shock.
