Chapter 134: Searching for Cotton Flower Grass (1)
Swish!
Of course, Lin Xiao and the rest didn’t know what happened to Ri Village nor anything that occurred there. For them, the most important thing would be to run away as far as possible and didn’t appear in that village ever again.
"Brother, you’re very fast," Lin Yun praised his brother.
"Of course!"
Bletak!
"Learn to be more humble."
"Hey! Don’t hit your master!"
"You’re my brother before becoming my master!"
Wenren Yu smiled lightly when he saw the two siblings quarreled with each other. They have used Moon Evasion several times and have traveled quite a distance away. From the way it looked like, the man in white didn’t have any intention to chase after them and killed them for ruining his plan to save Bo Wu.
Well, sooner or later Bo Wu would surely fall.
"It’s really good that Bo Wu had already made a lot of enemies." Lin Xiao grinned when he thought about what had happened. "We can just wait for them to destroy each other then we’re the one who reap the benefit."
"Brother, you’re wicked."
"Of course!"
Lin Yun rolled his eyes. However, he also knew that if Lin Xiao was wicked, there would be too many wicked people in the world. Compared to many other people who would be even more cruel than his brother, he knew that Lin Xiao’s action was nothing in their eyes.
"Anyway, who do you think that man is?"
"Yes?"
"To be able to sacrifice his own life for his friend, I don’t think it’s already at the stage of friend," Lin Yun inquired.
"Maybe his lover?" Lin Xiao asked. He had heard that there were a lot of people who would act irrationally in the name of love. Even sacrificing oneself to avenge the loved one didn’t sound to be that hard, isn’t it?
Lin Yun’s eyes widened. "Really?"
"Well, we don’t know whether his friend is man or woman, right? All we know is that it’s the man’s friend. If it’s a woman, she might be his lover." Lin Xiao shrugged, not wanting to think too much.
Hearing that, Wenren Yu shook his head. "While it might be possible, I think that his friend is actually his master."
"Yes?"
"If a servant failed to protect their master, their ending would only be death. Because of that, there was not much difference between them taking revenge or just wait for their death from their own family because of their failure.
Some of them would surely take revenge this way and then killed themselves. This way, they could make their death more useful and if they have family members, the family wouldn’t harm their own family."
Lin Xiao was stunned. This was the first time he heard something like that. He was not from noble famil...eh, wrong. He came from a noble family but he lived like what ordinary people would be, so he was not used with their way of thinking and also their method to control their servant.
Looking at Lin Xiao’s expression, Wenren Yu smiled bitterly. "It’s actually quite common in noble families. Servants are not treated as human but more like a sacrifice to protect their master in case something happened."
"I don’t like it."
"Huh?"
Lin Xiao looked at Wenren Yu and Lin Yun. "While it was true that Elder Wang told you two to become my servant, I don’t want you to sacrifice your lives blindly just for me. If it’s possible, don’t sacrifice yourself at all."
The two of them looked at each other then turned their head to look at Lin Xiao again. They nodded. While this kind of behavior might not be accepted in some big families, it was just how Lin Xiao was. He would not want to treat his friends as mere sacrifice. Besides, Lin Yun was also his brother, a family member.
How could he possibly treat them as dispensable sacrifice?
That was totally impossible.
"Yes, Brother."
"Okay, Master."
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes, feeling that the duty that he suddenly got after getting the Emperor’s Inheritance was a bit too annoying. However, he chose to stay silent and pointe forward.
"Let’s just go and search for Cotton Flower Grass. If we can’t find it in time, we might not be able to return back so quickly."
"Yes!"
Swish!
The three of them took another two days before they could arrive at the edge of the forest. In the journey, they did meet some powerful beasts, but it was nothing more.
In addition, Lin Xiao had broken through to Body Training Rank 10 thanks to the help of the Spirit Stone and Lin Hu. Unfortunately, his consumption was simply too fast and two Spirit Stones wouldn’t even be enough for him to reach the peak of Body Training Rank 10.
While the stages were not usually discussed, each stage in Body Training Stage could be called early, middle, late, and peak. They could only break through to the next stage if they had reached the peak stage and prepared themselves.
Since the differentiation between the early stage in Body Training was not obvious, people usually forget these ranking.
But when they reached Body Training Rank 10, it became clearer because they needed to absorb a lot of Qi in order to make their preparation to breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.
"You’re saying that I need more than 10?"
Lin Xiao was discussing about the need of his Qi with Lin Hu when he heard of surprising news.
Lin Hu nodded. "You need to feed me and also cultivate yourself. Normal people will only need four to five spirit stones like your two friends. But when it comes to you, you need double the amount and based on my estimation, 10 Spirit Stones."
Lin Xiao’s face was ugly. "How about if I train normally?"
"Based on your speed, you might need 1 to 2 years before you can make your breakthrough to Foundation Establishment."
Lin Xiao: "..." So slow!
