Forgiveness
The old man named Lu Han could no longer move when Deng Yu came out of the house. At that moment, he was confused about how to place himself in front of his own followers.“Damn you, Deng Yu! How dare you humiliate me in front of my men? I will never forgive you!”“You’re both the same!” Xiao Chen shouted loudly, then pointed his finger at Lu Han. “You are petty and unworthy of being a leader. Now you can choose: return to your sect and admit the mistakes you’ve committed, or I will give you punishment here and now!”Of course, Lu Han could never choose the first option, which meant he would have to take full responsibility for his wrongdoings. The second option was all that remained—to fight the young man before him.“I choose to fight you!” he answered coldly to Xiao Chen’s words.“You deal with Deng Yu. If he resists, you know what to do. I’ll take care of this old man,” Xiao Chen said after giving a mocking smile to Lu Han.S
The Vice Leader’s Deception
Without mercy, Sekar continued to swing the sword in her hand. In no more than twenty seconds, eight lives had already been snuffed out. After that she helped Xiao Chen finish off Deng Yu’s remaining guards.Sekar’s arrival eased Xiao Chen’s burden somewhat, and before long the two of them had slain the remaining sentries. Dozens of corpses lay scattered, their bodies bearing gruesome wounds and the metallic scent of fresh blood.“You chose death, then don’t blame us for acting cruelly,” Xiao Chen said, staring at the motionless bodies of the guards.The two young warriors walked up to the front door, which was tightly shut. Xiao Chen decided not to force the house door open—Liu Yun was still inside, and he was afraid Deng Yu might use him as a hostage.“What shall we do now? Shall we just break this door down?” Sekar asked.“Better not. I’m worried Deng Yu will take Liu Yun as a hostage,” Xiao Chen replied, then moved to inspec
The Battle at Deng Yu’s House
Driven by suspicion because two people were watching the large house, one of the guards walked closer. The darkness made it difficult to clearly see who the two riders were, who had stopped about twelve meters from the gate.“What are you two doing here?” the guard asked.“Is this really Deng Yu’s house?” Xiao Chen asked back. Although he was certain the house belonged to Deng Yu, Xiao Chen asked just to make small talk.“Yes. What business do you have here? Do you want to meet Deng Yu?” the guard asked again, already suspicious of the two.“We have no business with Deng Yu. We came only to meet Liu Yun. Is he here?”The guard squinted to see Xiao Chen’s face more clearly. At the very least, he needed to know whether this person on horseback was someone he recognized, or perhaps just a villager from Taishi.“He’s inside. What do you want with Liu Yun?” the guard asked again after making sure he had never seen Xiao Chen or Sekar before.The two young warriors then leapt down from their
The Liberation of Liu Yun
After thinking for a moment and considering that Hong Li also had other matters to attend to, Xiao Chen agreed to the old man’s request.The three of them, along with a small child named Yin Hong, then walked toward the large house owned by the old man.Upon arriving at the living room of the mansion, Xiao Chen and Sekar sat on finely crafted chairs, decorated with exquisite carvings. The old man went inside the house.Not long after, the wealthy merchant came out together with a beautiful young woman, perhaps around twenty-five years old. The two of them joined Xiao Chen and Sekar.“First, let me introduce myself. My name is Yin Fei, and this is my daughter Bai Lian. The little boy who was with me earlier is Bai Lian’s only son,” Yin Fei began the conversation.“My name is Xiao Chen, and beside me is Sekar. What is the matter you wished to discuss with us, Uncle?”“I’m not sure how to begin,” Yin Fei said, adjusting hi
The Wealthy Merchant’s Request
Xiao Chen let out a long sigh. He had tried to avoid trouble, but problems still kept following him.“If you don’t believe me, that’s fine. We just don’t want any trouble here,” Xiao Chen replied, then stood up. “Come on, Sekar. It’s time we continue our journey.”“Your business with me isn’t finished yet. Don’t even think of leaving this place—especially you!” The man pointed at Sekar. “Whether you like it or not, you must accompany us for a meal.”“And if I refuse, will you still try to force me?” Sekar rose to her feet, her right hand still gripping the back of the wooden chair.Xiao Chen already knew what she was about to do. When her thick brows had drawn together, it was certain that her patience had run out.“I’ll force you even if you struggle. No one here will dare help you!” the man replied.Sekar smirked, one corner of her lips lifting. “I don’t need anyone’s help to deal with you!”With that, she lifted the c
Contest
Xiao Chen quickly opened the cloth bundle that Sekar had handed to him. From its weight, he was already certain that the iron box entrusted by his mother was still inside, but to be sure, he needed to open it first.A sigh of relief escaped Xiao Chen’s lips as he opened the iron box and found that the Book of the Sky Ruler was still there. He took the book and handed it to Hong Li.“This is the book I must deliver to Grandfather,” said Xiao Chen as he passed the Book of the Sky Ruler to Hong Li.The old man, a hermit from Mount Huashan, received the book from Xiao Chen.“The Book of the Sky Ruler,” he murmured to himself.He opened the cover of the book and found explanations about its descent as a direct legacy from the Deities. After that, he closed it again and looked at Xiao Chen intently.“I need an explanation from you, but later. For now, you should head to Mount Huashan with Sekar. I will follow once I finish some matters.”
