Chirp, Chirp.
The sound of the bird chirping is like an alarm clock. He feels the wind caress his cheeks, a gentle caress and he slowly opens his eyes.
The sound of the bird wakes him up. His eyes felt heavy but he slowly opens it and Li Xin is now staring at the wooden ceiling.
His head felt groggy like someone had just hit the back of his head. But there is no bruise, only a terrible headache.
He felt queasy and his room had the scent of herbs.
Li Xin tries to get up but the moment he tries to get up, he felt his entire body aches especially his palm.
He takes a deep breath first before once again moving his body. Then he tries to sit up on his bed but before he could sit down straight he felt a pain on his head.
‘Argh!’ he holds his head.
Li Xin slowly takes a deep breath, in and out before he finally remembered what happened. Bits and pieces of the battle enter his mind
He remembers that he fought a giant
‘This is suffocating’ he mutteredHe felt his breathing is a little bit labored.Before when Qingxuan enter the room he tries to activate his Qi. He thought it was smooth but when he was about to attack he could feel a slight obstruction.He did not like it. There is still some of that raging Qi.Li Xin takes a breath and inhale and exhale and after a while that feeling of suffocation that is building up began to disappear.He opens his eyes and then he saw Qingxuan is still standing near the door.Then he asked Qingxuan‘How long have I been unconscious’ Qingxuan did not answer immediately. Instead she first closes the door and sit on one of the chairs.‘One day’ hearing this Li Xin was surprised. He thought he had been unconscious for a longer time than thatQingxuan could see the shocked expression on Li Xin face and she said‘It might be because you have learned
Qingxuan then sighed‘I don’t know if you are lucky or not but I think you have a knack of helping people that are beneficial to you’ she said‘Hmm. What do you mean?’‘The four people are the Wu’s from Suzhou’ Li Xin noddedHe heard Lu Xu, the square faced man said that before‘Yes, I heard it before. But what does that mean? Who is the Wu’s of Suzhou? Did they come from a famous family?’Qingxuan forgot that Li Xin do not know much about the affairs of Jianghu. So, she began explaining‘The Wu’s of Suzhou is a martial art family. Their ancestor is Wu Jing. There are some rumors that said that they have relations with Wu Zetian. Others said that they come from Jiangsu. Whatever the case, Wu Jing was a person of Jianghu and managed to gain a foothold is Suzhou. And he is famous for his Four Treasures of Weapons’‘Four Treasures of We
Qingxuan hearing the name Lu Xu frowns a bit.‘What? Did I say something wrong?’‘Lu Xu is from the Dragon Gate’‘Dragon Gat- ‘before Li Xin could finish his question, there is already an exasperated expression Qingxuan face and she said‘I’ll explain it to you’ Li Xin chuckles.‘Please do’‘The Imperial family had an organization called the Three Heavenly Gates. They were formed during the time of Emperor Gaozong of Tang. They were an organization created to try to control the Jianghu forces…...among many other function of the Gates’ Qingxuan clearly summarized what she knows about the Three Heavenly Gates‘Control the Jianghu forces?’Qingxuan nodded‘Well, I don’t think they succeeded’Qingxuan smirked and nodded.‘They did try and they were a few times that they nearly succeeded. They
‘But why they are protecting me?Smiling mischievously Qingxuan said‘I told them that we are chased by a very powerful heterodox path practitioner. And hearing this, they offered to stay a few more days to make sure that you are awake before they return home’Li Xin sneer.He could tell that this also has the handiwork of Qingxuan. That is the only reason she would stay here. No wonder she had the same plan as his.But Li Xin did not hate it.‘You’re doing this to make sure that I would not get attacked by the Underworld Gate?Qingxuan nodded.‘the four Wu’s brother is not a strong as you. That much is clear. But what you have and what they have is different’ she saidLi Xin did not say anything, letting Qingxuan to continue her words‘Even till now, I do not know your background. Who teaches you these skills and who is your teacher and which school of m
Sitting on the chair, is the four Wu brothers. Wu Xingyun wears the sword on his waist, the saber is behind the back.But for the bow and arrow, it is on the side of the chair, and for the spear it is left on the corner of the wall which is not too far from the table.It is rude of course to straps on such large and inconvenient weapon while eating together.The Saber and sword on the other hand is easy to wear without hindering movement so Li Xin understand why Wu Xingyun and Wu Jue simply let it be.Even Li Xin has a sword on the side of his waist not to mention Qingxuan who also probably hidden all kinds of Anqi in her robes.The moment they saw Li Xin all four of them got up and cupped their hands, their eyes beaming, their face smiling.‘Li Shaoxia’ all four of them said in unison [I will simply write Hero Li after this].Li Xin shakes his head and told them to simply call him Li Xin.They seem glad and express
The entire inn broke into cheers and there is applause. Some people laughed in happiness and some people were shocked.He smiles and greeted a few people. Some people quickly introduces themselves to him and he greeted them boisterously.If there is one thing that he had learned from his father, it is that in anything, personal relations are very important.PR is good, things would also usually be good. He did not think he is wasting money, instead he is investing in his future earnings of the fame pointsAfter being defeated by that giant, Li Xin feel urgently the need to become stronger. Fame points, infamy points, lightness skill points, whatever points there is he would accumulate itAt the same time, the inn itself is busy. The workers from all the floors were summoned to help with the moving of so many wine jugs.Even though this inn is not the biggest inn in this town, it also has its supplies.People from the other floor also
It was afternoon and the sun is high on the sky. There is people selling on the streets and people who just started opening their stallsSome of them realize that people are running on the street. There are also some Jianghu people who were running around in rooftopsMartial artist that could access Qi is one in every hundred thousand. If not probably everyone would be jumping around on people rooftop.The stall owners who were about to open their stalls were bewildered by this.There is a stall owner who is a middle age man. He had wrinkles on his face signs of hardship in his life.But even though he looks old, he is energetic enough to pull his cart and to open it every day.People who saw him called him Old Liu. He had been in this town for a few years now. This afternoon like any other afternoon, he brings his cart to the streets.Putting down his cart, he began opening it and arranging his accession.Old Liu sometimes sol
The Jianghu people soars above the air, the sound of whooshing passing by the crowds, a lively scene in the town.The point of attention is an inn. There are more people from the outside coming in to the inn, making the inn to become crowded as more people learn that the young hero that fought in the tavern had woken up and is now holding a great feast, paying for everyone food and drinks.There is common people and Jianghu people that rushed to the inn. The common people spoke with the common people, wanting to meet the hero but most of all, they wanted to drink wine and eat meatThe Jianghu people wanted to meet the hero to see whether the person matched the deeds.When they arrived at the inn, they were shocked at the scene.On the center of the first floor, there is a young hero sitting on a table surrounded by wine jugs.
