50 Power of Artifacts! (1/2)
The Outer Disciples couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the Inner Disciples retreating in the face of Jiang Tian. Rubbing their eyes in circles, their mouths widened in shock when they saw Jiang Tian still standing there and completely fine.
”Are my eyes deceiving me right now? Why is he still standing there as if nothing happened?”
”Yeah... Didn't he got hit by Senior Brother's soul attack earlier? How and why could he stand...”
”Not only that, he was also able to escape the chase of those frenzied Inner Disciples earlier...”
”What a god...”
Xia Lei approached Jiang Tian from behind and frantically circled him, scouring his body for injuries as he said with genuine concern visible on his face.
”Are you okay, Junior Brother? Senior Brother cleanly struck you with a soul attack earlier but why are you still fine? Those that took Senior Brother's attack head-on all collapses on the ground and turns crazy, you know?!”
Xia Lei even patted Jiang Tian's body looking for any external injuries and when he found nothing, he heaved a sigh of relief before saying.
”Junior Brother, you shouldn't have taken that attack head-on earlier... You almost gave me a heart attack...” He bitterly smiled and Jiang Tian stared at him before saying.
”It's fine really. Don't you remember that I came here after the Grand Elder recommended me? That only means that we're quite close with each other, it's not like he won't give me anything that i could use to protect myself...” Jiang Tian shrugged and flashed the cracked ring on his left finger.
Seeing the ring, Xia Lei nodded his head in understanding, ”So the Grand Elder gave you a one-time usage Artifact that could prevent lethal strikes... He really dotes on you, Junior Brother. Don't forget me once you rise up the ranks okay? Lemme ride on your coattails..”
Xia Lei lightly laughed and Jiang Tian also chuckled as the two of them walked away from the center of commotion. Under the focused gazes of the crowd of Outer Disciples, they entered Xia Lei's tent.
Inside the tent, Jiang Tian saw that Xia Lei didn't possess that much furniture, what he had was a small table, two chairs and a bed along with a single pillow. For a bedroom, it looked quite sad but for someone like Xia Lei, it fitted him the most.
Someone as straightforward as him never required flashy fixtures, items or accessories. They all liked to live the simplest lives and were often one of the most happiest people in existence. Nodding his head in approval, Jiang Tian took a seat and stretched his taut body.
”I'm sorry, Junior Brother. I didn't expect to have any visitors since I'm not really that popular. All I have is a simple chamomile tea and it may not suit your taste...” Xia Lei awkwardly scratched his head as he carried over a kettle and two ceramic teacups with his hands.
”You don't need to bother about those kind of things, Senior Brother. I'm not someone that is so particular about what I like regarding teas, fixtures nor decorations. As long as I can live my life to the fullest, that would be the best...”
