167: Chapter 167: Innocent Peasant, Sin of Possessing Jade 167: Chapter 167: Innocent Peasant, Sin of Possessing Jade “Although the enemy was powerful, there were also strong warriors in ‘Myriad dicine Valley’.
During the fight, the headscarves used by many enemies to cover their faces were torn off, revealing their true identities.
They were actually disciples from ‘Shaolin Temple’, ‘Qingcheng Temple’, and ‘Misty Rain Tower’, the three major sects.”
“It was only when the disciples of the three sects said they had co to snatch the inheritance of a Heaven Level Martial Artist that we realized there was a traitor in ‘Myriad dicine Valley’, soone had leaked the information, leading to a joint attack by the three sects.”
“The forces sent by the three sects were their most powerful lineups.
Even Abbot Jueren of Shaolin, Temple Master Qingling of Qingcheng, and Tower Master Wen Xiangxin of Misty Rain Tower took action personally.
It was clear that they intended to not only rob us of the Heaven Level Martial Artist’s inheritance but also to annihilate ‘Myriad dicine Valley’ to eliminate future troubles.”
“Later, when our Valley Master realized there was no hope of turning the situation around, he and several high-ranking ‘Myriad dicine Valley’ mbers fought desperately to protect and a few young disciples as we escaped.
I was injured all over, fleeing without stopping, and passed out here.
If you hadn’t rescued , I would certainly be dead.
As for my fellow disciples…
I’m afraid their chances of survival are slim…”
“Before the Valley Master protected us and let us escape, he told us not to forget this grudge and hatred, and to one day avenge the dead disciples of ‘Myriad dicine Valley’!”
As Ghost Hand spoke, his eyes reddened, his body trembled, and his face showed a color of pain.
Fang Bai furrowed his brows and said with a wry smile, “The catastrophe that befell ‘Myriad dicine Valley’ is kinda related to after all!”
Ghost Hand was stunned for a mont and said, “How…
How could it be related to you?”
Fang Bai sighed, “The guilt of a common man is bearing the jewel.
If I hadn’t given you those three Heaven Level Martial Artist relics, maybe this wouldn’t have happened…”
Ghost Hand shook his head, “You can’t be blad for this, the one to bla is our own greed for accepting your gifts…
In fact, the ones most to bla are the traitors in ‘Myriad dicine Valley’, and the three sects: Shaolin Temple, Qingcheng Temple, and Misty Rain Tower!”
Although Ghost Hand said this, Fang Bai still felt sowhat guilty.
“What do you plan to do next?”
Fang Bai asked, looking at Ghost Hand.
Ghost Hand shook his head blankly and said, “Right now, the disciples of the three factions are definitely out to kill , the one who escaped.
If I want to live, I can only keep running for my life.”
Fang Bai said, “Your injuries are serious, you can’t fight with anyone for the next three to five days.
If those disciples find you within these few days, it will be a dead end for you.”
Ghost Hand gave a wretched smile and said, “Then let it be death.
I’m an orphan who grew up in ‘Myriad dicine Valley’.
Now that ‘Myriad dicine Valley’ is gone, there’s no point in living.”
Fang Bai said, “You don’t want to avenge your fallen fellow disciples?”
“I do!”
Ghost Hand tugged at his hair forcefully and said, “But is there any hope?
I’m just a mid-level Yellow Level Martial Artist, facing the formidable sects that are full of strong masters…”
“If your aptitude is good and your talent is high, you can continuously improve your strength.
Don’t move…”
As Fang Bai spoke, he prodded Ghost Hand’s body, his eyes gradually growing bright, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
“Co with .”
Fang Bai stood up, dusted the weeds off his clothes, and walked leisurely forward, speaking as he walked, “If you’re willing, follow .
I can teach you cultivation techniques so that one day you can avenge the great wrong; if you’re not willing, then continue your fugitive life.”
“The disciples from the three sects are trying to kill , aren’t you afraid I’ll drag you down?”
Ghost Hand asked loudly, looking at Fang Bai’s retreating back.
“What is the highest realm among the strongest warriors of the three sects?”
“High Rank Profound Level!”
“I am now at the perfection of the Profound Rank, do you think I would fear them?”
Hope flickered in Ghost Hand’s eyes as he continued to ask, “Why do you want to help ?”
“No reason, I just feel like you and I have a connection, that’s all!”
The figure of Fang Bai grew distant, about to turn around the bend ahead.
“I’ll co with you!”
Ghost Hand clenched his teeth, stood up, and staggered after Fang Bai.
……
Baili Mingyue returned from her afternoon redial lessons and found two uninvited guests in Fang Bai’s room.
One was a cute little animal covered in long white fur, looking very much like a little white mouse; the other was a young man resting in bed, nursing his injuries.
The young man stayed in the room next to Fang Bai’s, and the bed and bedding were bought by Fang Bai from a nearby departnt store.
“Let introduce you, this is the Lightning Mink.”
Fang Bai pointed to the Lightning Mink on his shoulder and smiled as he introduced it to Baili Mingyue.
“Wow, what a beautiful little mink!
Fang Bai, did you buy this as a pet?”
Stars appeared in Baili Mingyue’s eyes as she looked at the Lightning Mink; she rubbed her hands together, clearly eager to touch the Lightning Mink.
Fang Bai seriously warned Baili Mingyue, “Don’t be fooled by its seemingly docile and adorable appearance; in fact, it’s very formidable.
If you want to touch it, you’d better ask for its consent, otherwise, the consequences can be very serious.”
“Could it bite?”
Baili Mingyue, a bit wary from Fang Bai’s caution, withdrew her extended hand.
“A cornered rabbit will bite, but if it gets cornered… it will kill!”
Fang Bai emphasized his point, and seeing Baili Mingyue’s disbelieving expression, he turned to the Lightning Mink and said, “This girl doesn’t believe you’re formidable; show her your strength!”
He then let out a few soft whistles, communicating with the Lightning Mink.
The Lightning Mink rolled its eyes in a very human-like manner, cast a disdainful glance at Baili Mingyue, and then transford into a streak of white light, darting from Fang Bai’s shoulder toward the room’s sturdy wooden door, and in the blink of an eye, it returned to his shoulder.
The mink’s swift movent was like a fleeting glimpse, and Baili Mingyue could hardly see it move, only feeling a blur before her eyes.
“Look at that door; that’s the handiwork of this seemingly docile and adorable little mink!”
Fang Bai pointed to the wooden door of the room, speaking to Baili Mingyue.
Baili Mingyue followed where Fang Bai pointed, and her face showed a dumbfounded expression.
On that wooden door, there now was a bowl-sized round hole, with edges smooth and even, as if cut by a machine.
“This… Did it do that?”
Baili Mingyue looked back and forth from the Lightning Mink on Fang Bai’s shoulder to the round hole in the wood, completely incredulous.
“Don’t believe it?
Then watch again… and make sure you see clearly this ti!”
As Fang Bai spoke, he let out another soft whistle, and the Lightning Mink darted out again.
This ti, upon Fang Bai’s instruction, the Lightning Mink deliberately slowed down a lot.
Baili Mingyue opened her eyes wide and finally clearly saw the Lightning Mink’s movents.
The Lightning Mink leapt from Fang Bai’s shoulder, stretched out in the air like a swallow skimming through the sky, swift and light.
It darted to the wooden door, where its front paws quickly circled, then its hind legs kicked off the door, propelling it back along the sa path to Fang Bai’s shoulder.
The entire process took no more than the blink of an eye.
