Chapter 315: Playmate (2/2)
Although her age was like a child, she was not stupid. ”Who wants to play with you, ah!” she exclaimed as she shook her head in annoyance.
Lin Xiao had been scared that Luoluo would blurt out some unwelcome words, such as calling him her hubby, but fortunately, she only did so when they were alone or with the friends. Luoluo knew better than to add injury to Lin Xiao and the situation they were in.
”Grab her!” the young man was not willing to give up. He was calling out for the seven men behind him to act up, but the moment the first person took a step forward, a magnificent force erupted from Lin Xiao, and the man who had taken a step was thrown back like a ragged doll, his body was crushed and blood flowed incessantly from his mouth.
Everyone was shocked when they saw that this man was so ruthless and got rid of the man the moment he took a step forward, but they all also sensed his strength. This man was actually a Heavenly Knight!
Although there were Saint ranked experts in Treasure City, most of these experts were hard to find, leaders of families or they were recluse and lived outside the city.
Heavenly Knights were fought over for many factions and pirate crews. A Heavenly Knight had the chance of turning into a Saint ranked expert, and these would make any faction ecstatic to recruit.
The men who had come with the child were all stunned when they saw the strength of Lin Xiao, and they hesitated.
They were familiar to the Treasure City, and everyone knew them, but to still act like this towards them, he had to have a strong backing or was new to the city.
Being new could be good and bad. If he were willing to be recruited by their family, then it would be beneficial, but if they were hired by someone else, then he would prove to be an enemy in the future.
Considering that they had this obvious disagreement with them, it was apparent that Lin Xiao would never accept allying himself with their family, and thus these men quickly convinced their young master to retreat for the day.
Lin Xiao was not paying extra attention to the people. He had killed one of their men already, but the one he killed was merely a simple guard. If he killed the young child, then there would be an incorrigible hostility between himself and the family backing the young man.
With a final, hesitating glance at Luoluo the young man clenched his fists and left the teahouse together with his men, two of them carried the body.
Lin Xiao was not in the mood to stay at the teahouse and quickly paid for their tea and snacks before he and Luoluo exited the house and went to see if they could find Hei Gou and Bai Tianyi.
It did not take long to locate the two figures in the crowd. One was small and wearing white robes with golden embroideries, had long white hair, and seemed like a fair but sinister child.
The other figure was tall, a whole head taller than then average people surrounding them. The face was so attractive and handsome that every woman on the street was looking at him with curious and interested gazes. He was wearing completely black clothes with silver embroideries in stark contrast to the child by his side.
Seeing them standing out like this, Lin Xiao's lips twitched slightly as he tried to keep the laughter down. When thinking about it, he and Luoluo were also an unnatural pair.
As they reunited, they hurried back to the lodgings that Thousand Treasure Pavilion had prepared for them, none of them were aware that they had been followed by a few people who specialized in stealth.
When they saw the group enter the Thousand Treasure Pavilion's residential area, they all retreated back to where they had come from.
”They are part of the Thousand Treasure Pavilion?” this sentence was asked in many of the significant families chambers as the stealth experts returned to announce what they had seen.
”This is weird,” another man said, ”The Thousand Treasure Pavilion is not a faction that causes problems, and it is rare for them to recruit people. People queue up to join them, but only those who have exceptional talents can enter their eyes.”
”The Thousand Treasure Pavilion has a lot of things happening recently. First was the emergence of the One colored Rainbow Pill, now it is an unknown expert. I wonder what exactly is going on.” A third person was also commenting in another family.
”Could they be connected? This is a never before seen expert in Treasure City, and now there are suddenly rainbow pills here.” Someone could not help but guess, but he quickly dismissed this thought.
When they returned to the courtyard, they could all sense that there was some energy flowing towards a room on the upper floor, which had previously been empty, and all of them suddenly felt happy.
It was evident that Xue Wei had returned, and they could not wait to hear how he was doing after not seeing him for a few days.
They were especially interested to hear what he had to say about the two colored Rainbow Pills.
It was not that they did not care for Xue Wei, but they knew he could protect himself. The rainbow pills were of utmost importance to them, especially Bai Tianyi, Xue Wei, and Hei Gou would benefit greatly from the pills as they might help them break into the Heavenly Warrior rank.
As Xue Wei awoke, he was still alone in the house. He sat down and began cultivating and after cultivating for some time, he suddenly felt someone on the way into the house, the auras were familiar, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips as he stopped cultivating, stretched his body and walked down the stairs towards his friends who were on the way inside.
