16 Token (2/2)

Given Yenma's age who seemed to be around his late teens and given Yepong's age… although the crowd didn't show it on the surface but strange lights flashed in their eyes as they looked at Yepong.

How could Yepong miss the slight change in the way the crowd looked at him?He obviously knew what they were thinking.

Yepong coughed with some slight displeasure, ”He is Yesei's son.”

The silent crowd suddenly burst into uproar. Tin Yesei was a legend 55 years ago. Although Tin Yesei couldn't cultivate, he had left behind a legacy that even some cultivators might not even be able to accomplish what he had done.

Yesei always helped the poor and the needy, he never had the arrogance of someone that belonged to a great family, he was a humble and caring person and was well-received by everyone in the village and it was because of this reason that when the villagers came to know that Yesei's fiancèe was abducted, they felt deep sorrow for him. Some pretty women from the village even went as far as making use of this incident to flirt and try to hit on him as they tried to 'console' him but all this was for naught since Yesei firmly secluded himself away on a lonely mountain.

Now that the crowd came to know Yesei had a son, they were shocked but at the same time they were also an understanding crowd. It was possible that Yesei had come across some pretty woman during his seclusion on the mountain and had easily succumbed to his desires and curiosity about the opposite gender, it was a given since the latter lived a lonely life for decades.

Looking at the crowd nodding their heads in approval, Yepong didn't know whether to laugh or cry but it nevertheless was a good thing since Yenma would easily be accepted into the family.

Tin Ming who sat among the crowd felt conflicted as he tightened up his fists but he didn't say anything.

Next Morning, Yenma woke up due to the abrupt knocking on the door of his courtyard.

He yawned and got up as he proceeded to open the door, Yepong stood neat and tidily dressed in white as he looked at Yenma who lazily looked back at him.

”Ahem*.... Get properly dressed and ready in few hours. I will bring you to Senior Luang's abode. He will test you out, if you have the talent he will take you in as his disciple and teach you all about cultivation.”, Yepong said as he looked right into Yenma's eyes.

Yenma's lazy and dizzy eyes suddenly brightened up.

'Finally! Cultivation! Ahahaha…'
