Chapter 11 Blade! (1/2)

Even though the tone of the man in green was light, his entire body was like a piece of ice under the sun, with wisps of ashen cold air fuming from his head along with the frigid and intense murderous intention that sent everyone chills in their bones.

Shen Lian was very calm, beneath this calmness was the confidence that the man in green could hardly understand. It came to his mind that maybe, just maybe, Shen Lian could actually kill him.

This feeling was incomprehensible. It was as if when a lion seizes a rabbit, only to realize that this rabbit had suddenly transformed into a tiger.

He could see that Shen Lian's body was not in a good state, that he had never developed any internal force. Although he had long fingers, his hands were callus-free

He was slim and had refined features. There was a sickly paleness on his face. Even though it was not to the point that he would collapse at the blow of a wind, he could hardly pose as a threat at all.

However, there was something different of Shen Lian. The difference was in his pair of eyes. They were the windows to the soul and the calmness in his stare actually disturbed him to the extent of feeling petty of himself.

Shen Lian's mind was quiet right then, the innate god wielding the Ru Yi scepter slowly appeared within the spirit sea.

This was a sublime legacy of the psyche, lonely yet eternal, formidable and fearless.

Both of his hands draped naturally, he was sitting at rest. Across the table, the man in green did not realize that there was a two-inch flying dagger in Shen Lian's hand.

The small flying dagger, however, was Shen Lian's final method of defense. With his commanding spiritual senses controlling his physical flesh, the weapon could be used from any angle within a ten-step radius.

He did not know whether it would be effective against the man in green. He had never tried to use this small flying dagger to kill anyone.

After all, this was a means of self-protection, it was not a murder weapon.

The man in the green had adequate inner Qi and sharp senses. He could not see Shen Lian's dagger, his gaze was, however, cast down, staring at Shen Lian's, who was way shorter than him, shoulders.

The hall slipped into an eerie silence. The silence, however, was broken by faint footsteps.

Under the sun, a small beggar entered through the door, or perhaps it was not a beggar. It was just that his clothes were so tattered, it could barely cover his body.

He looked twelve or thirteen, perhaps his age could have been older than that. Maybe it was the years of malnutrition that slowed the development of his body.

Compared to Shen Lian's delicate looks, the little beggar had a more plain and firm appearance. His brows and nose bore some resemblance to the man in green.

The murderous air of the man in green dissipated like the tide and a gentle expression came onto his face.

The little beggar came to the side of the man in green. He took down a little cloth bag and layer by layer carefully peeled the cloth apart.

It revealed a small pouch that was no more than the size of his small fist, he delicately poured out the bean-sized coins, held out to the man in green and said softly. ”Kind sir, I have used the money you gave me to have the people in my village to help complete my father's funeral, these are the leftovers.”

The man in the green robe accepted the man, patted the beggar on the head and replied, ”I've already told you that this amount of money is used to purchase you, remember to address me as master from now on.”

The little beggar's hair was dry and yellowish, it also contained a good amount of filth. Although the man in the green did not mind entirely.

The young beggar's eyes brimmed with tears and he said, ”Yes, master.”

The man in the green robe said benignly. ”You must not have eaten yet, have something to eat here first, we'll leave once you have finished eating.”

The little beggar's eyes curiously examined Shen Lian, he thought to himself that this young fellow was really good looking, like a sprite.

He dared not say much, looking at the table full of food, he gulped, not knowing where to start from.

The man in the green robe did not have time to pay attention to what the young beggar wanted to eat because another person had appeared at the door.

Originally, the sun that was transiting to the middle of the sky was able to drag a slightly longer shadow with its rays, this said something about the height of the approaching person. The silhouette gradually entered, accompanying it was the heavy and slow sounds of footsteps.

Like a beating drum, the heaviness of it struck on the heart of everyone in the hall.

Bump! Bump! Bump!
