The Transmigration stone disintegrated which caused the green purplish glow to wrap around Tian Long's soul. The glow then travelled somewhere faster than the speed of light.

At a place few km's away from the stone which appeared in the air few moments ago.

"Not good, he's not going to make it" A middle aged man sighed full of sadness.

That middle aged man was wearing a blue armour with a tiger imprinted on it. It was quite damaged.

"He's been in coma ever since you found him, is it even worth to care that much for a child you don't have relations with, Grey?" Another middle aged man with the same blue armour asked.

"I picked him up, then I should be the one to take care of him, shut your mouth Mel" Grey snapped back at him. He had an irritated expression.

"That's it. Enough of your bullshit Grey. You don't even do the things captain commanded properly, all you do is take care of that child. Is that child your illegitimate son?" Mel couldn't help but find trouble with Grey.

"I know you have some enmity with me Mel. Stop finding fault with me time and time again. If you have the guts, let's fight" Grey unsheathed his sword out of his scabbard.

"You think I am afraid of you. I'll show you who's after the captain in this Blue Tiger Mercenaries" Mel also unsheathed his sword and took a pose to fight.

Hearing that he indirectly accepted the fight, Grey shot out with an unbelievable speed for his cultivation base. He created a blinding light with his sword which covered the whole area with brightness.

'What!? A battle technique?' Mel almost peed his pants when he saw this. He didn't move since he couldn't see as his eye was blinded by the light.

And at this moment a glow which was dimmed by the brightness emitted, shot to the child who stopped breathing just now. Both of them didn't notice it.

Mel opened his eyes only to see a sword in front of his neck. He could feel his life slipping out of his hands. He started shivering out of fear.

"I think I had enough of you moron" Grey said. Just when he was going to slice his head off, a voice could be heard.

"Wait!"

"Tch, It's the captain" Grey muttered and backed off.

Tian Long started feeling warm.

'Is the Transmigration stone healing this body?' Tian Long thought still not accepting the fact that this is his own body from now on.

"Haha, I'm saved! I'm saved! Captain, Grey was going kill me for real. Kill him, he's a traitor" Mel exclaimed full of happiness and framed him.

"Is that so?" The captain walked to where Mel was standing.

Just when Mel thought that he could get his revenge, a punch appeared in front of his face. The captain hit him with force. He flew 2 metres away from where he was standing and crashed on the wall.

*Boom*

"Why!?" Mel muttered dumbfounded.

"You think I don't know your ploys. How many times have I told you not to mess with Grey?"

..."Grey, please forgive my nephew Mel, he won't do this again, and I will personally handle the punishment for him."

Grey nodded his head and didn't say anything, he could only accept his hardships out here.

"By the way, did you see anything glowing around here?"

"Hmm, the only thing glowing here was my sword"

"Not tha.. Alright" The captain stopped giving information. He thought he had found a treasure and wasn't willing to share with anyone.

Tian Long who possessed his new body started sweating when he heard this. Not because he heard the captain mention about the glow but because he couldn't understand anything they said.

'Is my fate so worse? Of all the weak people out there, why a child? I couldn't even take care of myself in this state, I'm doomed.' Tian Long had a listless expression on his face.

Tian Long looked upwards the cloudy sky which looked like his own fate, gloomy as ever. He quickly made a determined face to keep on living in this world which was quite cute in itself.

Grey turned around and returned to where Tian Long was lying down. He was astonished to see that the child was awake.

"Kid! Can you hear me? Are you fine?" Grey shouted in excitement.

"Calm down Grey, he's just a kid who was in coma since the time you found him, do you expect him to talk?" The captain chuckled.

"Ah right, I just lost myself in happiness, sorry."

"Alright, take care of the kid, I got things to do" The captain bid farewell.

'What the hell are these guys talking about? I can't understand, what language is that?' Tian Long thought.

Suddenly Tian Long's glabella started throbbing painfully.

"Arghhhhh!"

"Kid! What's wrong? Oh no!" Grey started to get worried again.

'What is this black thing in front of my eyes?' Tian Long kept holding his head until he fainted of pain.

Grey checked his pulse and sighed. "He's just fainted, thankfully."

'This child sure does like to keep me hanging on a thread.' Grey laughed ruefully.

'It's almost this child's 3rd birthday, good thing he woke up before that or else I would have had my head sliced off'

Then Grey carried Tian Long to his room and made him sleep in his bed. Grey then sat before the table and wrote a letter. He then stood beside the window and whistled.

A pigeon flew through the window and stood on Grey's hands. He then tied the letter to the pigeon's leg. The pigeon then flew away from him to its destination.

"That's about it, my mission is finally going to be over soon I guess if everything goes smoothly"

"It's been almost 3 years since I left the empire, hopefully the tide has crossed over, and if it hasn't then we'll both die." Grey laughed ruefully and then slept on the floor.
