Chapter 114: Watching the Performance (2) (1/2)

”There's something like that?” Lin Xiao asked in astonishment. He couldn't believe that the powerful cultivators still liked to show off. Well, he had to admit that showing off felt good because one would be admired by the people around him.

”...yes.”

Even Wenren Yu felt a bit helpless, but he had already visited several cities back then. While he was not that fond with how the riches used their money, he still knew that they all people who appreciated arts. For some powerful cultivators, when they had reached the last stage they could possibly achieve in their live, they would have no other choice but to pick other hobbies.

One of the hobbies that they picked in the end was to appreciate arts and also watching performance. Flaunting their money was also something very common, which was how the special pavilion was born in this place.

Lin Xiao looked at the residence once more. ”Isn't cultivators' goal is to reach the peak and understanding of the world?”

”Not everyone can reach the peak,” Wenren Yu said helplessly. His eyes also showed traces of longing. ”Many wished to reach the peak, but not everyone had the chance. The difference in talent, attainment, and chance created the difference.”

How many people wished to become powerful cultivator yet they stuck in certain stage?

When they finally lost hope to reach higher stages, they would shift their attention to other things. Aside from teaching the younger generations so that they would be able to replace him, they could also start another hobby where they would be able to make sure that they used their time properly.

”Right.”

”Brother, are we going to watch?”

”Ah? Of course!”

With that reminder, Lin Xiao rushed to the back. As the others have said, there was a separate smaller residence. It was usually called as pavilion and there was also shorter gate that was placed there. That was the mark for outsiders. They could watch but they were not allowed to get close.

Lin Xiao's eyes narrowed when he looked at the wall that surrounded the first residence. For some reason, there was a faint feeling that the dragon marking that was supposed to be protecting this residence was lower than before.

'Lin Hu.'

'Why do you call me again?' Lin Hu asked in annoyance. He was about to sleep when Lin Xiao bothered him.

'The dragon mark's power is weaker here?'

'Oh, yeah.'

'Why?'

'The marking is placed on the wall and naturally it's embedded into the materials deeply. However, the area at the back is already renovated and probably destroyed in the past. In here, the power is only around 1 percent of the power at the front gate.'

Lin Xiao was stunned. 'You're saying that if I want to attack this residence, the backyard is much weaker?'

'Yes, it's weaker, but there are more people guarding the place. If you wish to get yourself killed, I suggest choosing another method.'
