Vol 1 Chapter 3 (1/2)

After Xuan Luo fainted, Master Li carried him and Guan Shan Jue back to the house behind the restaurant.

Since Guan Shan Jue was already very old, his injuries were relatively serious. No one really knew what happened, but the villagers had some a.s.sumptions:

After his meal, the man purposely wanted to pick a fight. However, since Guan Shan Jue is good natured, he didn’t seem to be bothered. But seeing his smiling face, the man deliberately wanted to make things difficult.

The flavour of the tea was not strong enough. Since the man had a nasty temper, he blamed it on Guan Shan Jue. As for Guan Shan Jue‘s apologetic smile, the man saw it as a jeer. Thus, it led to the fight.

At first, someone tried to step in. But the man’s fighting skills were too good. The man became more enraged and started to fight the villager as well. He then threatened to kill Guan Shan Jue.

The villagers of Qian Deng Zhen were not used to this. Nothing like this has ever happened before. They were truly scared. They never thought the man would go so far. When Master Li saw what was happening, he stepped out. Master Li was one of the few from Qian Deng Zhen who could actually fight, so he certainly would not stand aside and watch a stranger bully the people. But, unexpectedly, Master Li was no match for the man.

Hence, although the villagers were angry, they didn’t dare to act. All they could do was watch Guan Shan Jue get beaten.

It was around then when Xuan Luo appeared…

When Xuan Luo saw that Master Li wasn’t helping his Stepfather, he was annoyed. But after quickly thinking about it, he let it go. After all, Qian Deng Zhen was a small town. Anyone who knew martial arts only had the shallow basics. Plus, Master Li was already old. The fact he could make a few moves is already pretty decent. Xuan Luorealized he was a bit too emotional when he saw Guan Shan Jue. Thinking back, he wasn’t used to that feeling.

“Is Stepfather alright?” he lightly asked.

“He should be fine, but he must rest for a few days.” Master Li sighed. His tone of voice sounded deep and apologetic.

“Li ye ye, take a rest. I am going to take a look at Stepfather.” Xuan Luo goes to Guan Shan Jue‘s bedside.

The restaurant was small. There was only a small house behind it. Despite its size, the house had everything it needed. It was simple and refres.h.i.+ng. Although it wasn’t glamorous, it was very cozy.

Guan Shan Jue was still in deep sleep, but his face had a very peaceful expression. If one didn’t see his injuries on his body, they wouldn’t be able to tell he was beat up. It’s a good thing that he is alright

Master Li did not want to disturb Xuan Luo, so he stayed where he was. But he didn’t leave either, because there was something he wanted to say. The problem was, he didn’t know how to bring it up….

Seeing Guan Shan Jue in deep slumber, Xuan Luo also didn’t want to disturb him.

“I wonder how you felt about what happened today, Stepfather..” he whispered, shaking his head.

Turning around, Xuan Luo realizes that Master Li was still there. He smiled.

“Li ye ye, thank you!” Xuan Luo was aware that Master Li had carried him back after he fainted. “It’s getting late. Please go home and rest!”
