Chapter 127: The Story (1/2)

The bartender smiled.

”Not everyone can go to the city. Besides, even if you go to the city, you might not be able to work according to what you want. The job that they can offer there are also limited.”

Lin Xiao blinked in confusion. ”What did it mean?”

”It means that you can have more freedom in village,” the bartender tried to explain more. Internally, he was wondering whether the person before him had high intelligence or low intelligence. It looked as if Lin Xiao was having trouble just to recognize it.

Freedom?

The word sounded strange to Lin Xiao but he could guess why the bartender said that. There were more powerful families in the city, each would have their own dominance and refused to back down no matter what. Even though the city might not be the most comfortable place, they were safer from outraging the powerful family accidentally because they were far away from each other.

”But isn't it more dangerous in the village?” Lin Xiao asked again.

”Why is it dangerous?”

”I heard that there are people who are acting on their own too and also threatening other people who are living in the village.”

The bartender blinked his eyes then nodded. ”So you have heard.”

”Yes?”

”There are indeed some annoying people. They're acting like they owned the entire village even though they're only slightly more powerful. In addition, there are also those who are not that powerful but they act brazenly.”

Lin Xiao tilted his head. ”Who?”

”Some groups.” The bartender narrowed his eyes.

”Can you tell me so that I can be more careful?” Lin Xiao asked with pitiful expression. Beside him, Lin Yun nearly spat out the juice he was drinking when he saw Lin Xiao acted like that. His body shivered.

It was scary to look at his brother when the latter was acting like that.

'Where's my usual annoying and idiot brother?'

The bartender smiled helplessly. He felt like the youth before him was really stupid and pitiful. ”It's fine, it's not really a secret here either. The group is named Eagle Power. It consisted of several Body Training Cultivators who are quite powerful and often acted on their own.”

”Act on their own?”

”Yes. They're like the local gang here. Those with real power, Foundation Establishment Cultivators, didn't usually care because they're busy with their own training.”

”I see.”

Lin Xiao played with the glass in his hand without any intention to drink. He had been acting like he wanted to drink while talking but in truth, he hadn't drunk the alcohol in the slightest bit. His real intention to come here was to make the bartender give him information and not drinking.

His eyes moved to look at Wenren Yu, who was sitting at the edge while sipping the drink. The way he sat down made him looked like a lazy bum, yet at the same time, he also looked like he was enjoying the drink.

However, Lin Xiao knew that Wenren Yu hadn't ordered more. It felt as if he was only putting the glass near his lips without any intention to drink just like what Lin Xiao did with his own drink.
