ch 236 – An Unexpected Discovery; Chasing Away The Best (5)
“Even so!” said Cheng Xiao Xiao was squinted eyes as she walked toward the grass field, “We’ve had the first incident, then the second incident, can you guarantee me that there won’t be a third incident?”
“Young Mistres….”
Little Yuteng pouted, then looked down and play with her own fingers and said no more.
Cheng Xiao Xiao understood that she was trying to make her feel better, but she was compelled to continue making her point, “Surely it was rumored that there was no martial emperor or martial monarchs out there, but just like the old man said, just because we haven’t seen them doesn’t mean they don’t exist. This is a very large continent, and cultivators have been around for tens and thousands of years. There are many cultivators who lived in seclusion. They didn’t go out into the world, so others have no idea how powerful they were. And since they didn’t know, they assumed that they didn’t exist.
“Gradually, everybody just took it as face value and believed that martial emperors and martial 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 appearance was such a shock, or should we say a pleasant surprise.”
“Little Yuteng, have you forgotten the middle-aged man we have met previously? He was even more powerful than the old man. Even if he wasn’t a martial monarch, he was at least an advanced-level martial emperor. If someone like him exists, who is to say there aren’t any celestial martialist out there?
“Young Mistress, I hear you, but what is your point?” asked little Yuteng blinking her deep dark eyes, baffled.
Her reactions made Cheng Xiao Xiao not know whether to laugh or to cry, “What I am trying 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 do with me as they please, I can even fight back if I wanted to!”
“Young Mistress, your cultivation advancement is fast enough, if you continue to break through like that you….” Little Yuteng shook her head and didn’t finish her sentence.
“Why do you say that? Are you saying that I can’t accomplish it?” said Cheng Xiao Xiao as she casted her a sideway glance.
“Young Mistress, it isn’t that you couldn’t, but I’m afraid it wont’ be a very pleasant experience!”
“An unpleasant experience is still better than being instakilled, right?”
“Well, that’s up to you then, Young Mistress.”
“Tomorrow I will arrange the matters at home and take some time out for more break throughs. 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 they were talking, they have arrived at the grass field. Sure enough the old man in grey was still standing in the middle of it without moving.
Noticing their arrival, he first addressed Cheng Xiao Xiao, “Miss!” Then he looked curiously at little Yuteng.
“Old man, what you looking at? You refer to me as Manager Yuteng!” said little Yuteng in a demanding tone as she lifted her chin pridefully.
The old man in grey looked at the small being in front of him and still couldn’t muster up any desire to rebel. Respectfully, he said, “Manager Yuteng!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao noticed that his look seemed to have been more different than he was before. The complicated look was gone, leaving mainly respect and subordination. It looked like the longer he was in the dimension, the more unlikely he’d have other thoughts and feelings.
“Who are you? What is your name? What is your cultivation level? And why did you come to Willow Village?”
“To answer Miss, I started cultivating on my own. My name is Ying Ziliang, when I was young I fell into a cave when I was out hunting and I was blessed with becoming the disciple of a martial monarch. Now I am a mid-level martial emperor. I came to Willow Village because I ran into a young man who was in possession of mystical water and I found out from him that there was mystical water in Willow Village.
