Chapter 3: New Journey (1/2)

In Tan Family Hall

”Brother, it's a new morning. The bloodline hasn't returned.” Tan Family's head's brother spoke as he stood beside his brother.

At this moment, Tan Family's head had an ugly expression. He looked at the guard nearby and shouted ”Go and bring everything you can find about Qin Che. Hurry up!”

The guard nodded his head and hurriedly left. After a few minutes, he came with a scroll. His brother and head opened the scroll and read the entire scroll. After a few more minutes, they put down the scroll.

”That boy! We had given him the cultivation technique to check his talent but he couldn't cultivate it. It seems he was hiding it so that he doesn't have to get restricted by cultivating our techniques. But, it was said whatever weapon he practice, he can master it. Though it is through hard work of day and night, it is still amazing to master several dangerous fighting styles like Sword Fighting, Spear Fighting, and Blade Fighting.”

Suddenly, he raised his hand and smashed the wall near him. Immense energy released out of his body.

”That boy didn't take it for others. He learned this truth somehow and took it for himself. He has been chosen by the bloodline.”

These words were like the thunderbolt strikes to everyone's mind. They couldn't comprehend how a servant has so much talent.

”Family Head, don't be so hasty on such a decision! What if the person who has taken the bloodline hasn't opened the pendant? If that is the case then forcing all of our attention on that boy will lead to the real thief to escape.” Suddenly, an old man walked into the middle of a hall and spoke.

”Great Elder, are you suggesting me to stop hunting that boy?” Tang Family Head looked at the old man with slight disgust and asked.

”No, you didn't understand my words. Qin Che is a sixteen years old kid who has never tried to steal or even sneak behind the training. He hasn't even touched the cultivation technique. I don't know why he suddenly chose to go against us but that doesn't matter since he has made a grave mistake.”

”But, what matters is his cultivation. He doesn't have any cultivation nor does he have a cultivation technique. So, we can assume that he exchanges the pendent for the cultivation technique. He is a smart kid and all of you know the flaws of our cultivation techniques. So, you can understand why I made this point.”

”Family Head, we can't make haste. First, we must understand who he is working with. Then, we will strike. This way we won't let a real thief escape while keeping an eye on the kid.” The old man suggested as he moved to one of the empty seats and sat there.

Hearing his words, Family Head puts his chin on his hand and thinks. The Great Elder's words made sense to him but these were just speculation. They can't be the truth. And, somehow he feels like Great Elder was saving Qin.

After a deep thought, he stood up and raised his hand ”Find out the person who collaborated with Qin Che. Extend the number of guards and send them to search for Qin Che as well. I want to know about that person within two days. And, I also want to know Qin Che's location within two days.”

”Now, the meeting is dismissed.”

Saying so, he stood up and walks towards the door. But when he passed near great elder, he glanced at him and whispered ”I hope you are not colluding with the kid. The end will not be good.”

The great elder narrowed his eyes but later revealed a smile without caring about him. At this moment, neither they nor Qin knew anything about the old man and the bloodline.

...

Bang!

Qin clenched his teeth and gritted the pain that he suffered when the meridian gets unblocked. This is why people only stats cultivation at the age of thirteen or fourteen. Some even start at the age of sixteen like Qin.

”Hoo!”
