Chapter 1: Lin Xiao (1/2)

”Lin Xiao you brat, stop right there!”

In a small village near Cai Mountains, it was a lively morning. The sun was still hanging high on the sky above, yet the people were already busy with their activities. In the midst of their daily activities, the yell from the middle aged man could be heard very clearly.

”Hahaha, Elder Mo, didn't I tell you that you shouldn't scream so much in case you hurt our ears!”

”Come back here, you brat!”

A young boy around the age of 15 years old ran while laughing. Dressed in simple and crude brown robes, he didn't look much different from ordinary children in this village. His black hair danced with the win as the boy ran across the village, laughing heartily.

Behind him, a middle aged man was looking at the boy with black lines on his face. He couldn't believe that this young boy had tricked him again. If only he could spank that naughty boy, he would have done so from a long time ago.

”Elder Mo,” a villager called out. ”What happened this time?”

”Aish, that brat, Lin Xiao,” the elder said with helpless tone. ”He's tricking me with his words again.”

The villagers around the elder shook their heads. Who didn't know that Lin Xiao had his way with words? That naughty kid really loved to trick them if they dared to mess with him.

”Shall I catch him, Elder?” A burly villager asked. He was one of the strongest villager in this small village. While they were all cultivators in this world, they were still at the lowest of the lowest, staying idly at the body training stage. Even then, there were rarely anyone among them who could reach high level.

This burly villager was exactly one of the few of them who had managed to reach high level.

”Forget it,” the elder waved his hand. ”That Lin Xiao is indeed naughty, but he didn't cross any lines. Besides, our village need his talent if we wish to get more recognition from Taiyi Sect.”

”Yes, Elder Mo.”

”Elder Mo is benevolent.”

In the vast world, there were countless sects in the world. Or at least, that was what the villagers ever knew because their scope was simply too little. Even the highest martial artist in this village was nothing more than body training 8 stage. When compared to many other cities, they were severely lacking.

This village was one of the few village under Taiyi Sect. They have to pay tribute each year and also send the promising youngsters to join Taiyi Sect during the yearly examination. If the youngsters managed to perform well, of course, the village would gain benefit too.

This was the only reason they could tolerate Lin Xiao's mischievousness.

Swish!

At this time, Lin Xiao was travelling rapidly to the edge of the village. There were scarcer houses at this area because most of them would not want to live at the edge. There were more dangers here and harder to seek help if they ever need it.
