Xiao Teng ran, running with clothes on.
After realizing his life was just a scam, a joke, Xiao Teng finally put on his robe again.
After all, during escape, a naked man with a bare bottom is just too conspicuous.
He stumbled and fled through the mountains, and after losing the Human Emperor Banner, Xiao Teng felt the emptiness inside him.
The once robust muscles were gone, his skin sagged and was covered in brown scars, he felt like he was a shriveled cicada husk, fragile and easily dispensed by any Cultivator in Qi Cultivation.
But despite this, he still managed to escape, out from under the noses of the Six Sects’ big shots.
Xiao Teng touched the bracelet on his wrist, still feeling it was unreal.
Three small stones were strung on the bracelet, one of which had turned black, while the other two emitted a faint golden light.
He couldn’t quite understand what his father, Xiao Yilong, took him as.
As a son, he was treated like a pawn, a container to be discarded after use.
As a pawn, he was given a bracelet that could be used three tis to evade all tracking and observation for a period.
Unable to comprehend, Xiao Teng ceased thinking about it. He cautiously concealed his aura, and under the bracelet’s shielding power, crossed the mountain beneath him, and stood at the mountaintop to discern direction.
The bracelet’s teleportation was random, and after discerning, Xiao Teng confird he was transported to the border of Cyan Thorn.
He breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking the Sword Sect might not react so quickly.
As he descended along the beast path, Xiao Teng suddenly began to feel sleepy, as he walked, he swayed and directly rolled down the slope. Before closing his eyes, he seed to see a Child walking towards him.
...
"Who are you! Where am I? How many days have I been sleeping!"
Xiao Teng abruptly sat up from the hard and jarring stone bed, looked at the Child holding a bowl of water before him, and asked.
Huang Xiaoyi looked at the old yet young stranger before him, unsure of his intentions, he reluctantly placed the water bowl down, then pretended to wipe his hands on his body, hiding the skinning sharp knife at his waist more securely.
Speechless, how co this person woke up just after being moved back, he didn’t even have ti to drug him.
Although it was a less than five-minute walk from where Xiao Teng fainted to this Cave Mansion, Huang Xiaoyi still sincerely said.
"Brother, you’ve been unconscious for three days, it was junior who walked all night to carry you here."
"Who are you?" Xiao Teng secretly touched the bracelet on his wrist, finding it still there, he then sighed in relief.
"I am naless, since childhood adopted by my master Taoist Huang, always lived in Eight Treasures Mountain, practicing with my master, you can call Huang."
Huang Xiaoyi cupped his hands and answers, taking advantage of the sleeve’s cover, he pinched a Finger Technique, putting away the neatly shaved human bones and human skin Magical Artifacts hanging on the wall behind Xiao Teng.
Xiao Teng now had a chaotic mind and couldn’t discern the truthfulness of what the Child said, he couldn’t rember if there was indeed a Taoist Huang in Eight Treasures Mountain.
"Where is your master? Which sect are you from?" Xiao Teng asked again.
Huang Xiaoyi seeing Xiao Teng probing with questions didn’t panic at all, continuing with the made-up lies.
"Master went out to visit friends."
"As for the master’s legacy, maybe it has so origins with dicine King Valley and Beast Taming Sect, the techniques I obtained from my master, all related to insects, beasts, and plants."
Xiao Teng’s heart stirred, since realizing this Cave Mansion had only this Child, he began plotting a murder to silence him.
One hand quietly reached backward, touched his own buttocks, thinking of the few treasures he had left, all hidden there.
"Out? Your master has only you as a disciple?" Xiao Teng asked.
Huang Xiaoyi sighed, "Not really, I’m the master’s young disciple, I also have a senior brother. This ti, my master went out and took the senior brother along."
"Actually, I wished to go as well, but for so reason, the master never allowed to leave the mountain."
"Frankly speaking, I’m totally ignorant of matters outside the mountain." Huang Xiaoyi blinked at Xiao Teng’s worn-out appearance, "I have a little knowledge of pharmacology, if brother doesn’t mind, you could rest here a few days then tell about the outside world."
After finishing, Huang Xiaoyi didn’t wait for Xiao Teng’s reply, turned and ran out. After a while, he brought a steaming food box full of dicine cuisine.
Color, fragrance, and taste all present, it was apparent they were made with excellent Spirit Plants.
"This is what I usually eat, not quite sure of the ingredients, but it seems to have the effect of nourishing and invigorating blood, brother if you don’t mind, please try it."
Xiao Teng looked at the steaming dicine cuisine before him, stayed silent for a long while, then withdrew his hand from behind and washed it in the nearby water basin.
"Thank you, little brother..."
A sudden rise and fall in life, Xiao Teng’s heart felt touched, looking at this innocent and kind Child, he only felt his own depravity.
Looking back at the past, only feeling life wasted.
If others treat well, whom have I treated well?
Finding himself at this stage, it was self-inflicted punishnt, was it really aningful to continue erring, dragging this worn-out body likely wouldn’t last long.
If his father wasn’t the Grand Elder of the Hundred Demons Sect, if he were like this Child, leisurely in the mountains with a kind master, what kind of life would that be?
Could he also beco a good person?
