Chapter 582
Siu Hoi sat in his house absent-mindedly.
Winter had set in, which was the season where farming activities were on hold.
Normally, he would be having snowball fights and building snowmen with his father during winter, but now the old man had passed on... so there was nothing for him to do.
Since this thought came to his mind, Siu Hoi stood up and walked out of his house to build a snowman.
One for the mother he had never seen before, another for his dear daddy.
Looking at the snowmen, loneliness and pity suddenly gushed into his heart and he cried while hugging the snowmen.
“This is the mentally retarded kid?” A cold voice rang from his back. Shocked, Siu Hoi turned around immediately to see two old men glaring at him like they wanted his life.
They were none other than Chung Kin Shing and Cheung Pak. Even Chui Yim couldn’t have predicted that these clans of Heaven’s Pillar City would have methods to track their disciples’ vitality. These were superior techniques that weren’t seen in South Imperial City.
Thus, Chui Yim figured that it would take them a few days before they realised what was going on and found Siu Hoi. Because of this, the help Chui Yim got from the Metallic Blood War Gate would only arrive a few days later, unable to provide any help at the moment.
Because Chui Yim was distracted that day, he made a small mistake that he, who was currently far away right now, would never know about.
“Where’s the culprit?” Cheung Pak lifted Siu Hoi up, asking him furiously.
Never had Siu Hoi seen such a ferocious person in his life, and he ended up crying in fear.
“Trash!” Cheung Pak shattered Siu Hoi’s shoulder with a hard squeeze. “Spill it! Who is the culprit and where did he go? And how is he related to you!?”
In great pain and fear, all Siu Hoi could do was cry. Hearing him, some Fallen Leaves villagers walked out.
When they saw the poor child of Farmer Siu being bullied, they shouted at the bad guys, but suddenly, pink objects flew across the area, and the cherry blossoms dispersed like the grim reaper’s weapon.
Everyone that wanted to save Siu Hoi looked at them as if they were monsters and dared not make another move.
“Gliphs don’t know how to hold back, so it’s best to stay away.” Chung Kin Shing glared at them coldly.
To the commoners, cultivators were immortals that could kill numerous people with just a wave of their hands. Every resident in the village was just a farmer, and none of them dared to go against the cultivators.
He only had the mentality of a child, so how could he be able to comprehend such a frightening scene? He stood rooted to the ground, unable to move a single muscle.
In front of him stood a man who was smiling from ear to ear in pleasant surprise.
“It’s the Nine Chills Child! First the Sacred Son, now the Nine Chills Child, our tribe is blessed by the heavens!” The man was none other than Ling Fei, who Siu Fu sent over, but the last thing that Ling Fei expected to find was a living man instead of a treasure – a living man with the Nine Chills Child body.
Siu Hoi, who was shaken to the core, still didn’t know that his life would be extremely different from now on.
South Imperial City was a major city, the capital of the current Lam Dynasty. It was also the dreamland of many Southerners as well as home to the most prestigious institutions, a thriving and prestigious entity.
Coachmen were driving carriages with a vibe of arrogance and haughtiness.
There were also young females and males donned in expensive clothes.
Even merchants and shop workers were dressed nicely and had auras unlike any commoners would.
Thus, the youth that arrived with his mother felt out of place.
“My son, would that teacher lie to us?” his mother asked worriedly.
Unlike her, the youth was composed. He was determined despite his current messy state. “Who are we for the teacher to play a prank on? There’s no need for him to waste so much effort just to joke around with us.
“Let’s go, mum.”
The pair stopped by a small shop and bought two buns to feast on before making their way to Black Tortoise Avenue that was north of the Evergreen Palace. The pair continued making their way as if they were heading to the utmost north of the city.
After about an hour, they spotted many monks and were finally stopped by two monks when they reached a certain area. “I’m sorry, benefactors, this is Apex Temple, and only authorised people are allowed in.”
The youth wanted to bow to them like they did, but because he was anxious, he looked jittery. “Greetings, masters. I’m here to find Master Yuen Yau.”
The monks exchanged glances. “Senior Brother Yuen Yau is having his night class currently. Please follow me, benefactors, I’ll lead you to a pavilion to rest.”
“Thank you, masters.” Man Fai bowed again.
