The Invincible Corruption Manual

After the meal, they returned to the City Lord's office.

"Fifth prince, how have you been?" Li Lin greeted him inside the room. Fatty Xiaobo was also there.

"Sir Li Lin, I am fine. Oh, these two are my friends." Joey replied and introduced the two.

They all looked at them. But, seeing Su Tong, they all become alert first and calm down again.

"Seniors, I am called Chun Hua." She clasped her hand and introduced herself. Then she glared at Sunset Tong.

"Wait, I know you. You are that waitress and the auctioneer in the Glory city." Fatty Xiaobo stood up and spoke suddenly.

"Fatty, shut up." Captain Chao scolded him.

"I am Su Tong." He, too, introduced himself.

Then he looked at her and asked honestly, "Sister-in-law, why are you glaring at me like that? Do I do something wrong again?"

She snorted and ignored him.

"Senior Bojing, I heard that you are the new City Lord here. Congratulations!" Joey said to him.

Bojing smiled at him.

"Anyway, fifth prince, why are you in this city?" Captain Yang Chao asked.

"Senior Chao, I need to go inside the Fire Nation to get something very important to me. " Joey replied.

"Fifth prince, going there is not a good idea. I will go with you." Captain Chao said.

"It's okay. We will always keep a low profile. Also, now this city needs you more . You must stay here. " Joey denied him.

"Senior Bojing, can you make a staff in a day?" Joey asked him

"Hmm, okay. But you seem to be a bow-person. Do you change your preference now?" Bojing asked.

"No, it's for my brother Wu Tong," Joey replied while looking at Wu Tong.

"Wu Tong, right. You follow me." Bojing said and left together with him.

They stayed the night in the city.

The next morning, they left the city and traveled toward the Fire Nation. Joey took out a map and observed it.

"Joey, if we travel at this speed, we will reach that place by tomorrow." Chun Hua told him.

"Sister Chun, have you been to Fire nation?" Joey asked.

"No,but I read a lot of information about that country." She replied.

"I heard that your 'Hall of treasure' seems to have a wide network all over this world. Is it true?" Joey asked again.

She nodded and looked far with a lonely expression. Joey held her hand and asked," Is something wrong?"

"It's nothing. It is just that I miss my mom." She replied.

The highest peak, Kunlun mountain range,

Inside a house, a little girl was lying on a bed while a middle-age-man sat beside her.

The girl opened her eyes and saw the middle-age-man first.

"Grandpa, where are my aunty and grandma?" She asked. The last thing she remembered was her aunty dying and her grandma being taken away by someone.

"Little Xiuying, they are all fine. They will come to visit you when you become older." He replied.

She stood up and looked around the room. But she didn't see the little white Tiger too.

"Witty is with your father. And your father will visit us soon. Why don't we go out?"

Then he held her and got out of the room. She looked tired and discouraged, unlike before.

Even though she was a child, she knew something about that day.

Outside the room, she saw the beautiful scenery of that place. Many tall green mountains could be seen around her, and white clouds also flew around there. Many cranes flew around there. But there was no joy in her eyes.

"Little Xiuying, do you want grandpa to give you a present?" The middle-age-man asked.

She nodded her little head.

Then, he took out a flute and started playing it. It produced a peaceful and soothing sound in the air. After that, all the cranes around there flew toward them and started flying rhythmically.

The girl ran toward them and started laughing cheerfully. Then she jumped on the back of a crane. And she flew up in the sky along with the crane.

Sometime later, he stopped playing the flute. Then, the crane carrying her landed on the ground near the man. She jumped down from it and pounced toward him while laughing.

"Grandpa, what is the name of that music?" She asked.

"Little Xiuying, it's called 'The poem of the dancing crane.' Do you like it?" He smiled and asked her.

"I love it. Grandpa, teach me too." She said while pulling his hair.

"Alright, alright, I will teach you."

He then made her sit before him. He started teaching her the basics of holding the flute with ten fingers around the flute first and then how to blow it with the mouth. Afterward, he played a few lines from 'The poem of dancing cranes' and stopped.

"You try it too." He then gave the flute to her.

She started playing the flute-like how he taught him. She beautifully played the few lines he just taught him three times. But, she continued playing without stopping by remembering the pieces she heard before. Then, suddenly like before, all the cranes around them flew above her and rhythmically played around her.

The man closed his eyes and murmured to himself, "What is this feeling? It makes me remember my Lord Krishna. This tone was the same when he played during those days in Brindaban. Is it a coincidence? What a peaceful feeling? I miss it." Then he smiled and quietly enjoyed the song.

After ten minutes later, the song ended, and he opened his eyes. Then, he looked at her blissfully.

Xiuying looked at him with a wide smile.

"Grandpa, how is Xiuying's song?" She looked at him, waiting for his praise.

"Hahaha, my Xiuying is the best." He laughed out loudly. He picked her up, threw her lightly up in the air and caught her. Then he put her down.

"Little Xiuying, do you like playing the flute?" He asked lovingly.

"I really love it. "She replied and nodded her head.

"Good good, you can keep the flute. Also from tomorrow onward, I will teach you a new song everyday." He told her.

"Really. Yippee!" She shouted and ran toward those cranes while holding the flute in her hand.
