51 - Secret Passage
Minerva came to the medic house to check on Dahlia’s condition.Dahlia was already up and on her way back home.“Are you really okay?” Minerva worriedly asked.“I’m fine, Mom. My wound is almost healed thanks to the third elder,” Dahlia said.“I shouldn’t have sent you out,” Minerva said, controlling her tears. “I was busy with other work, but I should have gone myself.”“You shouldn’t go out alone by yourself, either,” Dahlia quickly said. “I know you’re an expert, but if you’re alone, you can easily be overcome by a group.”Minerva, however, smiled. “It seems you learned something important this time.”“Of course. I realized how weak I really am,” Dahlia snorted, feeling angry at herself. “Even though my opponents were also adepts, I couldn’t even land a proper blow on them. Heck, I didn’t even get the time to use my techniques. I realized how much experience also matters. Next time, I won’t let something like this repeat again!”Dahlia and Minerva went home in a horse cart.Her inj
52 - A Frog In A Well
As the bluegrass clan members arrived at the western border of the Fist clan, Enron and a couple other people were waiting for them.One of the guards asked Enron, “Elder, aren’t they a wealthy clan? Why are they using donkeys to pull their carts?”“It’s not that they aren’t wealthy enough to buy horse carts, but they preferred donkeys which required low maintenance,” Enron said. “You may think they’re stingy, but I think they’re smart. They spend money where it’s necessary. They’re great businessmen.”“Can’t they use dogs then? They are even easier to maintain than donkeys,” the guard sarcastically said.The other guards snickered.“Shut up. If they hear you, they will demand us to make you their new donkey,” Enron said, “and I don’t think Patriarch would object to it.”All the guards immediately shut their mouths.As the donkey carts neared, the guards tried to look at the ladies, but the women were all wearing veils, so they couldn’t see any faces.Durk jumped down from the cart an
53 - Cannot Be Compromised
Livia was silently crying without being seen.Nobody ever called her a frog in a well, so Lexar’s words greatly hurt her soul, especially because she thought of him as a potential husband.“If only I wasn’t born with these ugly teeth…” Livia felt like plucking her own teeth.She didn’t join any sect but still reached the adept realm just by training in her own village.However, she always dreamed of marrying someone at least as powerful if not more powerful than her so she could travel the world and grow stronger together.She had always thought that Lexar was the right match for her because Lexar was not known for chasing girls like most other men.In fact, Lexar’s brother Ivan was also a well known skirt-chaser in the neighboring fifty clans! He started flirting with the ladies from other clans when he didn’t even grow a mustache.Now, Livia felt like she had no other choice but to marry the man her father chose for her.“Gunnar Fustil… I didn’t see him before,” she wondered. “Where
54 - A Mysterious Dead Egg?
A few minutes later.Gunnar came to Cobbo who was grinding some herbs which Bessy had brought home that morning.Cobbo was quite surprised to see Gunnar, so much so he stopped grinding. “How did you untie the knots?”“I’m Gunnar, so it was an easy thing to do,” Gunnar purposely joked with him.“Tell me how you did it!” Cobbo barked.“If you don’t know how I did it, then you should tie up your own hair and try to free yourself,” Gunnar blurted, not at all intimidated by Cobbo’s loud voice. “Anyway, I have other important work to do today, so I’ll be taking my leave.”“From tomorrow, sit next to the Aural stone for a few minutes every morning,” Cobbo ordered.“Okay,” Gunnar said and left the house.Aural Stone was a unique boulder situated next to the library. The stone emitted a certain vibration, which was believed to help people in finding their aura.Gunnar had sat next to it for hours every day in the past, but it didn’t help him awaken his aura.Even so, Gunnar was going to the l
55 - Two Losers
Livia entered the library.The girls sitting at the table saw her and immediately understood that she was from the Bluegrass clan.“Are you the one who’s going to marry Gunnar?” one of them asked.“Yeah,” Livia replied hesitantly. “Is Gunnar here? I was told he’d be here.”“Haha, he’s in the underground training hall. But why are you wearing a veil? Are you that ugly?”“Pfft, bahahaha.”All the girls laughed aloud, slamming the table and not at all caring to show any respect to the neighboring clan member.“You wouldn’t have agreed to marry a loser like Gunnar unless you were ugly.”“Two losers fit so well together. Their children will inspire generations to come.”“Pfft, bahahaha.” They laughed without a care in the world even though they were inside the library.Livia just ignored them and looked around.“Hey, you’re not from our clan,” the girls quickly got up and blocked her way. “You can’t just enter this place. Go away, or we’ll tell the librarian, and he will throw you in priso
56 - A Little Walk
“I’m doing what my father wants,” Livia replied without hesitation. She sounded calm.“I see,” Gunnar shifted his gaze toward Durk. “Are you okay with this marriage? Will your daughter be happy marrying a loser like me?”“Nobody is gifted with everything,” Durk said, smiling. “You have good looks, and this marriage will build a good relationship with the fist clan, so it doesn’t matter whether you know martial arts or not.”“So your daughter’s happiness is not as important as your clan’s future,” Gunnar voiced his mind.“I wouldn’t say that,” Durk retorted. “I don’t put my clan before my daughters, but sometimes, sacrifice is necessary to reap greater rewards. Being a daughter of the patriarch, this is a burden she must carry.”Gunnar pursed his lips together.“Don’t think too much,” Durk put his hand on Gunnar’s shoulder. “After marriage, I will feed you with great herbs from my clan and do my best to help you kindle your aura. I will make you a cultivator and a warrior sooner or lat
57 - An Old Man's Tricks
Gunnar would have gone back to the library, but he followed Livia instead because he wanted to see the marriage getting canceled with his own eyes.Livia met her father who was dancing with a duck and its babies in the middle of a street.“F-Father, what are you doing?” Livia hissed at him in a low voice because many people were watching from their homes and laughing. “Stop embarrassing yourself.”“I was bored, so I had to do something to kill time,” Durk told her. “How did it go? Is he to your liking?”“Come with me,” Livia grabbed his hand and took him to a well where there wasn't anybody around.Just by her body language, Durk could tell that something didn’t go right. “Did he say anything wrong?”“He doesn’t want this marriage, Father,” Livia said in a neutral tone.“Well, that’s to be expected, but this marriage will benefit both the clans. You get that, don’t you?” Durk gently patted her shoulder. “He’s still a bit too young to know it himself, so don’t take his words to heart.
58 - A Different Summer
Gunnar entered the hall and looked at Livia first.She remained silent.Gunnar realized that she was unable to help him regarding the stopping of marriage.So, he took it upon himself, “Father, I just started learning from Elder Cobbo. Can I have a bit more time under him and then have the wedding?”Warren and everyone was silenced by Gunnar’s words.Gunnar wanted more time because he wanted to learn some of the clan’s skills and impress everybody. Even if he were to reveal to everyone that he could use aura, that probably wouldn’t be enough to make his father and the elders go back on their promise.They’d have to be paying back a 1000 gold for breaking the promise, so Gunnar believed that he should prove his worth to be far more than a thousand gold.And he wanted some time for that.“Are you doing this because you want to postpone the wedding?” Minerva asked openly because her son also had spoken openly.“I may not get another opportunity like this, Mother, so please understand,” G
59 - Pitiful
Later that night.The Chian family had gone back to their village.Warren and the four elders were in the meeting hall, talking about how to use the 1000 gold that Durk had given them.“If we use this to buy horses and carts, we can build a small escort group,” First Elder Enron said. “I will personally be the head of the group. We’ll take on urgent missions with relatively low risk.”“Are we really in a position to put all the money into an escort group?” Fourth Elder Rayson uttered dismissively. “Our business has taken a dip lately. Since people aren’t coming to our village as much anymore, it’s only right for us to build a merchant group that travels outside and sells our products. From pottery to herbs, we can sell things and make profit.”“I like Rayson’s idea,” Second Elder Cobbo opined. “We’re extending our clan to the river, but that won’t necessarily improve our trade. We’ve still got to deal with the association regarding the Devil Knife Clan’s issue, so it’s better to earn
60 - The Chains On The Heart
Gunnar headed to Rayson’s shop.Rayson owned three shops. One shop sold pottery. Another shop sold herbs, and the third shop sold grains.After Rayson was diagnosed with a chronic illness to his lungs, he stopped training in martial arts and became an elder instead.In the past, he was the captain of the hunters.But due to his illness, he found it difficult to keep on fighting, so he switched to business instead.Rayson had been taking all kinds of medicine, but his illness was only kept at bay. It was never fully cured.Gunnar arrived at Rayson’s pottery shop.Rayson wasn’t there, but Vreka was at the shop, along with her friends.“Where is your father, Vreka?” Gunnar asked.“Why do you want my father?” she asked back, her voice a bit rough.“I have some work with him,” he replied calmly.Seeing Gunnar acting all indifferent, the girls snickered, “Gunnar, do you really think you’ve become the disciple of Elder Cobbo? The Elder took you in as a disciple to trick the Bluegrass Clan! H
