RISE OF THE GREAT EMPEROR

Chapter 35: You’re Really Good, Lin Xiao



Chapter 35: You’re Really Good, Lin Xiao

Luo Lan didn’t think that there was anything wrong with what he was doing. He looked at Lin Xiao with cold gaze. "What, do you think that someone like you worth my time to look at?"

"Me? I never said that it’s me." Lin Xiao shrugged. "I think that it’s clear that I don’t deserve your attention. There are many other young villagers who might be worth your attention more than Leader Su."

"Meh, all of you are just backwater villagers. Do you think you amount to something just because we decide to come here and see you?" Luo Lan asked with a sneer. He clearly didn’t have good impression of these villagers because most often than not, they were just cocky without having real skills.

Lin Xiao chuckled. "Why are you saying that, Young Master Luo. Is it because Leader Su already attracted all of your attention, so you don’t have any room for others?"

"Lin Xiao, that’s enough! Don’t...." Su Hei quickly spoke out to intervene. For some reason, he felt that if he let Lin Xiao speaking any longer, he would be having a great disadvantage or even danger.

"He’s the only one whom my teacher talked with, so why should I care for others?" Luo Lan snorted.

Lin Xiao smiled mirthlessly. His eyes were looking at the group in front of him as he let out a small chuckle. "Don’t you take your words back when there are other youngsters whom your teacher recommend tomorrow."

"As if I..."

"Stop that Luo Lan." The young woman behind him stopped Luo Lan from speaking any further. "Let’s go and eat. Our Masters are waiting."

"Xin’er," Luo Lan called out with aggrieving tone. He felt wronged to be cut off by this young woman, Bai Xin, but didn’t dare to speak out. After all, she was a bit stronger than him and would have no hesitation to beat him up to pulp if he dared to say any words to refute.

Bai Xin waved her hand and looked at Lin Xiao for a moment. ’That young man is not ordinary. I need to keep an eye on him.’

"Don’t call me like that. I never allow you to use my nickname."

"Tsk, you’re so not cute, Xin’er."

"Do you want to eat dirt again?"

"Agh! I’m sorry!"

The villagers didn’t dare to speak anymore as they watched the two youngsters. However, those who were still of youngers were looking at Su Hei with weird gazes. Some of them were filled with anger, yet they didn’t dare to speak out.

If only they were a bit stronger than Su Hei, they would surely speak out and challenged him.

Many of them have better talent than Su Hei because they were qualified to participate in the selection later. Aside from Lin Xiao, there were six other youngsters who were already at body training rank 5 and didn’t reach 20 yet. As for those who were at body training rank 6 and still below the age of 20, there were 3 of them including Su Han.

All three of them were looking at Su Hei with clear hatred.

They were clear that the best spot to be recognized was already taken by Su Hei. Despite being much older than them, he was the one who got the acknowledgement simply because he spoke out and being the hunting squad leader.

"Brother, I’ll not lose against you," Su Han said through gritted teeth. His eyes were blazing with fighting spirit. As a youngster, he was also very hot headed and competitive. When it came to his future, he would not regard his brother in the same light anymore.

The other two youngsters who were also below age 20 and managed to reach rank 6 were also looking at Su Hei but didn’t speak out and turned around.

Su Hei stood up and snorted. "If you dislike it, you should have spoken out instead, Su Han."

"You already know that it’s not possible, Brother," Su Han said and walked away.

Several other people who were only missed by a bit when they tried to enter Taiyi Sect back then was also hopeful. Maybe, just maybe, this time they would have a better chance to enter a sect.

By now, their gratitude to Su Hei for diffusing situation had turned to the worse.

They didn’t put him in good light anymore and Su Hei understood that. Because he placed himself in the good light of the representatives and their disciples, he was treated as their enemies and competition. Not a single one of them wanted to lose against him.

Su Hei looked at Lin Xiao, who was still smiling mirthlessly. His eyes grew cold. "You’re very good, Lin Xiao."

"Thank you," Lin Xiao replied with a grin. "It’s my gift for your bravery."

Hearing that, Su Hei snorted and turned around. Only an idiot would trust what Lin Xiao said. He knew very well that Lin Xiao only spoke out to ruin his relationship with the villagers.

No matter how much they respected him, they would abandon him when it was related to their future in a sect. Humans were selfish and this nature proved themselves to be true when they were facing the obvious option.

No one wanted to stay in this remote village forever.

"Yun, let’s go."

"Yes, Brother."

Lin Yun thought that his brother was planning to screw himself over again and already planned to distance himself at least 10 meters away. However, when Lin Xiao began to provoke that Luo Lan, Lin Yun understood what his brother was planning.

He was trying to make the villagers no longer united.

No matter what, Lin Xiao would never let Su Hei off after what the latter did to him back then. Since the villagers were only united when facing danger, he simply made them forget by pushing forward something more important.

’At times, brother is really cunning.’
