ch 223 – Plotted Against By The Relatives; An Attack At Midnight (8)

Without thinking, the old man reached and grabbed the young man out of the room and headed outside of the town at lightning speed.

BANG!

The young man who was tossed onto the ground landed on his back with his limbs flung upward. He stared at the old man with fear.

They are now at a remote area, under the dim moonlight, he could clearly see the coldness in the eyes of the old man in grey. He looked like a hungry wolf that could eat him alive.

“Speak, where did you get this mystical water?” His coarse voice sounded even scarier in the darkness.

“Sen… Senior, junior belongs into the Shendong Sect. Per Elder Du’s order, I must give this bottle of mystical water to our Sect Master. Can Senior please….”

“Kekeke,” crackled the old man in grey. Cracking opened his mouth, he said as he laughed, “Shendong Sect, hehe, one of the top 9 sects. Wonderful, how wonderful…”

“Sen… Senior….” Even though his words was praiseful, one could easily tell his tone was sarcastic. On top of his odd smile, the man in power suit felt weak in his limbs; he couldn’t move even if he wanted to.

“Good stuff. This is good stuff. Speak, kid, where did you get this?”

The frightened man in power suit caved under his intangible pressure and shared the source of the mystical water.

“Willow Village? The Cheng’s?”

Hearing about this place for the first time, the eyes of the old man in grey robe sparkled. After a long while, he looked down on the man in front of him again before lifting his feet and kicked him in his chest, sending him flying into the far away woods like a pebble.

He could care less if he survived the kick; he left under the dim moon carrying the bottle with him.

Never would the junior of Shendong Sect had imagined that not only did his greed cost him his assignment, but also his life!

Inside the living room of the Cheng’s new resident!

“Not bad, these few kids have tough, strong bodies, and advance quickly in their cultivation. They are worth mentoring. HAHAHA!”

“HOHOHO! Our lord (of the castle) was right indeed. I think these few kids will definitely make the rank of the elites in the future!”

Happiness and laughter filled the living room. Cheng Xiao Xiao, who was just walking inside, was surprised. Walking toward the two of them, she asked, “Dad, Uncle Zhou, what are you two so happy about?”

“Oh, look, Xiao Xiao is here!”

“Good news, of course!”

The two of them responded to her at the same time. Cheng Xiao Xiao bowed and greeted them before she sat down and asked, “Dad, what are these good news? You must share!”

“This good news, have a lot to do with you. We were talking about the guys that you brought back. Not only do they have amazing physique, they also improve quickly in their cultivation. When they arrived a few days ago, they were all just entry-level beginners; I didn’t expect all of them to break through mid-level today. I also learned from them that it was you who taught them how to cultivated, and it hasn’t even been a month yet. Is that true?”

Cheng Biyuan, who was ecstatic, shared the reason he was happy.

Cheng Xiao Xiao didn’t know that Cheng Chi and the lot had broken through; she was very happy for them. “Yes, dad, I could tell they were talented, which was why I recruited them!”

“Xiao Xiao certainly has good eyes. All the ones she brought back are so talented!” Zhou Jinjiang spared no praises. Even from his perspective, they were all talented.

Ever since arriving at the Cheng’s, Zhou Jinjiang was both the manager and the head of the guards. He was in charge of teaching the ones accepted by the Cheng’s. As for the ones from Willow Village, the talented ones became disciples by name, the not-so-talented ones turned into regular guard or servant boys.
