Chapter 13 Varying Between Creation and Destruction (2/2)

The young beggar had good qualifications and even had some resemblance to his younger self, which gave him the idea to pass on the mantle.

It was just that he had his doubts about the boy's heart, so he bought him as his servant, gave him the chance to take care of his father's funeral and see whether he would come back or not.

Even though the man in green was not a righteous man himself, he followed the practice of the ranger where 'words must have credibility, actions must be courageous and absolute, promises must be kept and fulfilled'. Had the young beggar not returned today, he would find and kill him and then moving on to other places.

His encounter with Shen Lian then was also an accident, to be honest. His calmness and expression reminded him of his senior fellow apprentice, Ling Chongxiao. If he practiced the martial arts, he would have a bright future ahead of him.

Even if he detested the fact that Ling Chongxiao was always a step ahead of him, he truly must admit that Ling Chongxiao was better than him. Assuming that he was not determined to recruit this young beggar as his apprentice, he would have Shen Lian as his successor.

The man in green's thoughts took an unexpected turn, his body responded immediately, the body that was going forward originally began spinning like a top and as it scoped up dust, out of the thin air, the tip of his foot was pointed on top of the point of the knife.

The tricky and vehement force traveled through the body of the knife, the area between the Golden Blade King's thumb and index finger became numb.

He did not put all of his strength into this move because he only wanted to make the man in green to stay.

He did not expect that his martial art skills to be this tremendous, being able to see through his intentions, shattering the illusion, achieving victory in the midst of danger and beat his knife technique.

With a point of the tip of his foot, the man in green was already on the roof. He brought the young beggar along and leaped through the wide and endless sky.

Unexpectedly, there were many archers that appeared from all directions of the roof and thousands of arrows were released at the same time.

The man in green humped coolly, made a barrier from his inner Qi to protect his entire body and causing the arrows to brush past him.

He, however, did not have a choice but to get down from the roof and charged to the roof of the house on the opposite side of the street. This forced him into the surrounding trap of the soldiers.

The Golden Blade King did not dare to rush in, firstly he did not know the soldiers. Secondly, he came from a big well-made family, if he went in and the soldiers treated him as an enemy, does he make a move or not?

There was nothing good that comes with rebelling and killing officials, he did not want his name in ruins or end up like the man in green who wandered around by himself.

The man in green's matters aside, a group of men on horses hurriedly rushed into Yue Ke Lai, the one in the lead was Shen Qingsan.

He immediately spotted Shen Lian and quickly went up and said: ”What's a kid like you doing here, do you know how dangerous it is?”

The Shen family had many informants when Shen Qingsan found out that Shen Lian was staying in the same inn as the man in the green robe, he was surprised and mad at that moment.

Even though he had assigned bodyguards to protect Shen Lian from the shadows, he did not think that Shen Lian would have come here.

When he made this discovery, it was too late to stop it.

It was not until the man in green exited Yue Ke Lai and was heavily encircled by the soldiers that he led his men and risked the danger to enter and protect Shen Lian.

Shen Lian thought, ”This second uncle of mine is somehow sincere with his treatment of me.”

At the same time, Shen Lian asked, ”What are you doing here, second uncle?”

Shen Qingsan also did not want to keep Shen Lian in the dark and answered, ”That man in the green is the murderer who killed your two cousin brothers, the Shen family definitely wouldn't let him off the hook.”

During this moment the leader of the Green Bamboo Sect came up and chuckled: ”Second Master Shen, who is this by your side?”

Shen Qingsan replied, ”This is my nephew Shen Lian.”

He then turned towards Shen Lian, ”This person in front is the Leader An of the Green Bamboo Sect.”

The Green Bamboo Sect and the Shen family, one black one white, the one with the immense wealth and power was still the Shen family. Leader An examined Shen Lian. ”This was the rumored bastard of the Shen family.”

His looks were rather delicate and graceful. Shen Lian's reaction of not panicking like how any other ordinary young person would during something this serious made him think of Shen Lian highly.
