13 Knowledge (1/2)

”Yeah, there is a long way for him to control his bloodline. Once he accomplishes it, he will become someone great!” I said facing the wall where Chu Xian disappeared.

”True, until now he's been afraid of his bloodline. He was afraid to unleash a massacre. Seeing you must have untied that fear.” Li Qi said with a proud smile on his face.

”What about you? Are you afraid?”

”Me? This whole mess started because of me. If I were to cower now, what kind of man would I grow into? Besides, you opened up a new path for me.”

”I just suggested something at best, it was all your effort.”

”You should know that with your strength, you would have no problem becoming an inner disciple of the sect, they would doubtlessly fight for you. Would you like to join the Light Sect?”

I could see the solemn face this youth in front of me had. Li Qi was being serious, formally inviting me to his Light Sect. It's true that I had a small conflict with that Senior Brother Wu, however, he was only an ant in the whole Light Sect. If I entered the Light Sect, I would have no trouble at all, I doubt he could do something to suppress me. Anyway, this wasn't parts of my plans. The best Sect for me would be the DarkWood sect. Later on, I'll need to think of a plan once I get in. I doubt that Lu Xin's alliance with the DarkWood sect was something that their elders agreed. I'll need to be careful in any case. After having my thoughts ordered, I was ready to reply to Li Qi.

”Sorry. I have to decline your offer.”

”It's ok. I understand Brother Ye. With your power and strength, it's understandable. So, you will join a sect from the central country then. It's a good idea, it would help you out facing Lu Xin's retaliation...”

I waved my hand to stop Li Qi, I knew that if I didn't interrupt him, he wouldn't ever stop talking... He ignored my hand signal.

'This guy...'

”No, you got it wrong,” I replied to interrupt this blabbering.

”Eh? But Brother Ye, you cannot join other countries' sects, it's impossible. You killed every member from the DarkWood, the MoonLake don't accept guys, you rejected the Light Sect... Oh! Could it be that your plan is to join the same sect as Chu Xian?”

”Wait! What do you mean I can't join any other countries' sects??” I asked with a confused face.

”I suppose you got your talent tested?”

”Yes.”

My mind was filled with thoughts about Ye Qing, the first human who I have interacted with and also the one who gave me a name. He provided me with shelter and helped me; he also taught me some common knowledge of this world. Only now did I realize how dumb it was of me to spend every single day training instead of asking him more about this world. No wonder Ye Qing always looked at me like a fool. My mind was looking through every memory I had with Ye Qing. Thanks to my powerful soul and the system, everything was recorded in details.

'Eh? What are those movements?'
