“Even so!”said Cheng Xiao Xiao was squinted eyes as she walked toward the gra.s.s field,“We’ve had the first incident, then the second incident, can you guarantee methat there won’t be a third incident?”
“YoungMistres….”
LittleYuteng pouted, then looked down and play with her own fingers and said no more.
Cheng XiaoXiao understood that she was trying to make her feel better, but she wascompelled to continue making her point, “Surely it was rumored that there wasno martial emperor or martial monarchs out there, but just like the old mansaid, just because we haven’t seen them doesn’t mean they don’t exist. This isa very large continent, and cultivators have been around for tens and thousandsof years. There are many cultivators who lived in seclusion. They didn’t go outinto the world, so others have no idea how powerful they were. And since theydidn’t know, they a.s.sumed that they didn’t exist.
“Gradually,everybody just took it as face value and believed that martial emperors andmartial monarchs don’t exist on this continent yet, in fact, they do exist.Just like the old man we have encountered tonight, that’s why his appearancewas such a shock, or should we say a pleasant surprise.”
“LittleYuteng, have you forgotten the middle-aged man we have met previously? He waseven more powerful than the old man. Even if he wasn’t a martial monarch, hewas at least an advanced-level martial emperor. If someone like him exists, whois to say there aren’t any celestial martialist out there?
“YoungMistress, I hear you, but what is your point?” asked little Yuteng blinking herdeep dark eyes, baffled.
Herreactions made Cheng Xiao Xiao not know whether to laugh or to cry, “What I amtrying to say was that I am too weak. I must raise my own cultivation level.Otherwise, it was like putting my life into someone else’s hands. They can dowith me as they please, I can even fight back if I wanted to!”
“YoungMistress, your cultivation advancement is fast enough, if you continue to breakthrough like that you….” Little Yuteng shook her head and didn’t finish hersentence.
“Why do yousay that? Are you saying that I can’t accomplish it?” said Cheng Xiao Xiao a.s.she casted her a sideway glance.
“YoungMistress, it isn’t that you couldn’t, but I’m afraid it wont’ be a verypleasant experience!”
“Anunpleasant experience is still better than being instakilled, right?”
“Well,that’s up to you then, Young Mistress.”
“Tomorrow Iwill arrange the matters at home and take some time out for more breakthroughs. Things are getting messier and messier; I need to have the presence,else matters are only going to get worse from this point forward!”
While theywere talking, they have arrived at the gra.s.s field. Sure enough the old man ingrey was still standing in the middle of it without moving.
Noticingtheir arrival, he first addressed Cheng Xiao Xiao, “Miss!” Then he lookedcuriously at little Yuteng.
“Old man,what you looking at? You refer to me as Manager Yuteng!” said little Yuteng ina demanding tone as she lifted her chin pridefully.
The old manin grey looked at the small being in front of him and still couldn’t muster upany desire to rebel. Respectfully, he said, “Manager Yuteng!”
Cheng XiaoXiao noticed that his look seemed to have been more different than he wasbefore. The complicated look was gone, leaving mainly respect andsubordination. It looked like the longer he was in the dimension, the moreunlikely he’d have other thoughts and feelings.
“Who areyou? What is your name? What is your cultivation level? And why did you come toWillow Village?”
“To answerMiss, I started cultivating on my own. My name is Ying Ziliang, when I wasyoung I fell into a cave when I was out hunting and I was blessed with becomingthe disciple of a martial monarch. Now I am a mid-level martial emperor. I cameto Willow Village because I ran into a young man who was in possession ofmystical water and I found out from him that there was mystical water in WillowVillage.
