Chapter 465 Trials of Lightning (1/2)

The letter delivery man was exactly the one who was being dispatched by the daoist from the Seven Peaches Mountain.

The daoist had given him two Magical Travel talisman. It could extract his energy and allowed him to travel thousands of miles in one day. This was one treasure item that was hard to turn down by the letter delivery man.

He reached the bottom of Mount Jieyang and was discovered by Shen Lian. This was because there were mana vibrations contained within the Magical Travel talisman, which could not be hidden from him at a.

Shen Lian only allowed Black Tiger to capture him and lock him up.

Until Shen Lian had straightened out the matters on his hands within these few days, only then did he have the leisure to deal with him.

The letter delivery man stared at this weird talking infant, his expression blank. Once his inner mind responded, he could also accept this. After all, he was the letter delivery man that had travelled extensively. In his normal days, he had heard of stories being told by those storytellers in tea booths while he was on his way. He had heard many deeds of demons and the supernatural.

He had heard that in the most western part, there was a country where once the people were born they could open their mouths and speak. Their entire behavior was no different than an adult. Furthermore, the young master that was just born to the old master of an aristocratic family had more strength than an adult bullock.

At that time, he was uncertain as to what to believe. But now that he had met Shen Lian, he knew that perhaps there was some truth to the stories being told by the storyteller.

The letter delivery man hoarsely asked, ”You already knew where I came from?”

Shen Lian's baby-like throat stirred slightly, his tiny tongue spouted words. It was pure and ethereal as he said, ”The things I want to know, I could know. The person that sent you here would naturally be the previous owner of this manor. You tell him, I am the young master of Xi Liang City and Mount Jieyang is my property. Every tree and bush does not belong to him. If he wants to come and argue, he can come and look for me. I am only afraid that he would dare to come.”

The letter delivery man's memory was not bad and he had already remembered what Shen Lian said. He asked, ”You only need me to bring these few sentences?”

Shen Lian answered, ”Just these few sentences. Do you want to rest before you leave?”

The letter delivery man originally wanted to leave directly. However, he thought that if Shen Lian wanted to end him, it would also be a matter of a backhand moment. That was why he decided to properly rest before he left. After all, he was someone who was busy running about year in and year out. He knew that in order to hit the road, he needed to be in a fine mental state.

Shen Lian allowed him to first step out. He had his small hands on his back, his stature was infantile. However, the letter delivery man could only follow behind with extreme caution, because he deeply feared this small kid.

After Shen Lian had the daoist's Prohibition dismantled, the backyard was a very good resting pace. Soft green grass carpeted the ground and there were a few small white flowers that occasionally grew by the side of the well. It opened silently, emitting a silent and beautiful fragrance. The letter delivery man followed him here and he only felt refreshed.

There was a stone table and stone stools by the side of the cooling and still ancient well. Shen Lian slowly sat on top. Black Tiger lied next to the well. It greedily breathed in the spiritual force, lazily glanced the letter delivery man and continued to doze off.

Shen Lian asked him, ”Since you want to rest, why are you not sitting?'

The letter delivery man had his mind clear right now by the delicate fragrance of the plants and his thoughts were already rested by a good deal. Even so, when he heard Shen Lian asking him to sit, he was overwhelmed by this unexpected favor. This was because someone as unusual as Shen Lian should see him as worthless grass. How could he allow him to be sitting as him?

Even if these were civilities by the other, that was also something truly hard to come by.

He waved his hands as he replied, ”I'll just squat here and I'll be fine.”

He searched for a spot that was far away from Black Tiger and the squatted on the ground. His back and waist were stooped. His face was full of crisscross marks, like one ravine after another, which really spoke about the cruelty of the years towards him.

Shen Lian gazed at him and in his mind, he thought that this was the most ordinary human. To him, these people were no different than the dayfly that was ephemeral. Nonetheless, Shen Lian had never looked down on these most ordinary humans. He was living with difficulty every day and he was working hard to live.

In actual fact, this also reminded Shen Lian just how uneasy it was to be alive. This allowed him to have more vigilance and restraint when he was being capricious.
