Chapter 264 - Master
“Old bones! Just you wait! There’ll come a time when you can’t move either...” Lu Xiucai muttered under his breath with a fierce look on his face.
Puppy leaned over and used his elbow to bump him. “Ah, you’ve got guts stealing Senior Li’s sword.”
Lu Xiucai glanced at him with disdain. “Such a joke! What’s the big deal just holding a sword? Don’t you dare?”
“Of course not. That sword has such a strong bloody smell. I feel uncomfortable even getting close to it,” replied Puppy.
Hearing this, Lu Xiucai appeared even more pleased with himself. “Why would I be afraid of that? Let me tell you, I pulled it out precisely because I sensed the strong smell. As long as I want to, I still dare to do it even now!”
“Wow, very impressive.”
While the two chatted, they dropped the firewood by the iron pot, then turned back to fetch water.
“Xiucai, come over here for a moment.” Li Huowang, who was sitting on a tree stump with Lu Zhangyuan, gestured toward the slender youth in the distance.
As Puppy looked on gleefully at his misfortune, Lu Xiucai lowered his head and walked over.
As Lu Xiucai looked up at the one-eyed young man, he felt a sudden jolt of panic. He once again lowered his head and focused on the straw sandals on his feet.
“Don’t look down. Look up at me,” said Li Huowang.
Hearing this, Lu Xiucai eventually raised his head.
“How have you been feeling recently? Is your temperament still the same?” Li Huowang asked calmly.
Lu Xiucai shook his head. “Much better. It’s almost like it was before I picked up the sword.”
At that moment, Puppy had a mischievous grin on his face as he approached Li Huowang. He repeated the conversation he just had with Lu Xiucai to them. L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.
Upon hearing that his son had said such words, Lu Zhangyuan sighed deeply, then lowered the tobacco pipe in his hand. “You damned brat! You...”
Lu Xiucai was about to scold Puppy fiercely, but a slap had already landed on his face.
“Master, I can’t read.” Lu Xiucai dumbfoundedly looked at Li Huowang.
“Ah... You really don’t live up to your name[1].”
Li Huowang took the parchment back, and relayed its contents word by word. It was a tiring task, especially when dealing with an illiterate person who couldn't even write his own name.
Fortunately, Li Huowang had some time on his hands, and Lu Xiucai's determination to learn the supernatural arts kept him going, despite the exhaustion.
By the time they reached the town, Lu Xiucai had just learnt the beginning part of the technique.
Li Huowang’s group was big, but there were also many other farmers from other villages that were traveling toward the town to sell their wares. Thus, the road had grown much busier.
Watching Lu Xiucai, who was tirelessly reciting his cultivation mantra beside him, Li Huowang asked, "Don't you want to kill me?"
“Master, what are you talking about? Why would I want to kill you?” Lu Xiucai responded calmly.
Li Huowang could tell that he was not lying. With his nature, he would have easily exposed himself if he tried to lie.
“I've beaten you up before, and I even planned to persuade your father to kill you. I'm really surprised that you aren’t holding a grudge with your current personality,” said Li Huowang.
“I've just become a bit more temperamental. I haven't turned into a lunatic. Besides, you taught me the supernatural abilities which have already offset that,” Lu Xiucai said matter-of-factly.
Li Huowang nodded in understanding and patted the ox pulling the cart.
“Moo~” The ox mooed and continued pulling the cart toward the town gate.
Upon entering the town, the guards insisted on inspecting the ox-cart with the Black Taisui in it. After some effort and with a few pieces of silver, the seasoned Lu Zhuangyuan finally managed to get them across safely.
They stepped back onto the cobblestone streets, and observed the lively market, where everyone seemed to have come back to life. Following their usual routine, they found an inn and enjoyed a good meal. After settling in, each person started to carry out their own agendas.
As a local, Bai Lingmiao brought Chun Xiaoman to find a map and pinpoint the position of Cowheart Mountain.
Meanwhile, Puppy, Zhao Wu and Gao Zhijian went to sell off the sheep and buy more food.
As for Li Huowang, he ventured into the town to investigate any traces of the Surveillance Bureau.
