Girl, I'll Teach You Cultivation

Chapter 60

Sister Xiang was utterly shocked, thinking, Are you kidding? This isn't a place for a child to play around. You'll get killed if you go up on the arena.

She shouted in panic, "Little Xiu, come back!"

Jiang Xiu sneered in his mind. You didn't believe this Deity, so I'll let you all take a look at the overlord who had ruled over the Immortal Martial Continent for millenniums and was also the Sectmaster of the Heaven Treading Sect.

Black clouds had begun to gather in the sky just as he took a step forward.

When he took another step, lightning and thunder flashed in the black clouds.

"Quick. Qiancheng, bring Little Xiu back."

He had already dashed ahead before Sister Xiang finished, cursing Jiang Xiu as an idiot in his mind. He wasn't going to allow Jiang Xiu to go up on the arena no matter what happened. Chen Xue also blocked his path, her slender, pale hands pushed against Jiang Xiu's robust chest.

Even if they had lost the money and their livelihood, they had to at least save this life.

"What are you doing?"

He felt furious. This Deity is trying to act cool, no one can prevent it.

"Little Xiu, have you gone mad?"

"Calm down!!"

A few of the village's men noticed something was wrong and came up to pull Jiang Xiu back.

"We lost and have to pay the price. I know you're unwilling to take it down and want to help the village, but you can't go lose your life in vain. Even Chen Yibing wasn't his opponent so you wouldn't stand a chance!."

"You're just throwing your life away."

The old village also sighed helplessly, "The children are all good, but they are just a bit silly."

"Throwing my life away?"

"Hahahaha, idiots. You're stupid. Let go of this Deity. This Deity shall slaughter that plebeian."

Sister Xiang shouted anxiously, "Pull him back, quick…"

She was really anxious that Jiang Xiu would throw them off and dash towards the arena. Humans often did crazy things once they lose their mind. She wouldn't know what to say to Lin Yueling and Jiang Yi if something happened to Jiang Xiu.

Lin Mi and the others standing far away also helplessly shook their heads. To them, this was just a funny farce.

Only, Lin Mi curiously sized up Jiang Xiu. She felt that this youth was quite amusing. He had given the money he had obtained to his female companion and was also ready to do his best as the village lost, even though he was aware that he was no match for the opponent.

"Uncle Fu, what do you think about this person?"

A man of average height wearing a black hooded sweatshirt stood among the group of young people. If one took a careful look, they'd notice that he was quite old and was only wearing youthful clothes that covered his face using the hood. In fact, he was already over 50 years old.

"He doesn't possess any cultivation, but his conduct is proper."

"He at least has a generous spirit and isn't greedy. I feel he possesses a sense of honor."

Lin Mi nodded, "Right!"

"What are the young lady's intentions?"

Lin Mi gazed towards the far away Jiang Xiu, saying, "There are always intelligent people, talented people, powerful people, but devoted people are always lacking. My Lin family needs to buy the life of such a person during a crucial time."

"Does young lady plan on accepting him into the Lin family?"

Lin Mi smiled faintly, "Why not?"

Uncle Fu's expression morphed into shock, "This brat… His ancestors must've done a great deed. He actually obtained a change to enter the Lin family. In those days, I had strived quite hard to enter the Lin family but this brat…"

Lin Mi walked towards Jiang Xiu…

"Are you troubled?"

Lin Mi said, "Do you want to win?" Her gaze fell on Jiang Xiu's face. She discovered that although his clothes were unremarkable, he looked quite handsome and possessed an exotic aura. Though she couldn't make out the reason, it gave her a strange sensation.

"Naturally!"

If only he made a move, he could deal with that Inner Strength expert quite easily.

Lin Mi said in a lofty tone, "I can help you."

"Hmm?"

Jiang Xiu didn't need help, but he still felt strange about why Lin Mi wanted to help him. He first thought that she might've recognized him, but after thinking about it carefully, there was no possibility of that.

When he had met Lin Mi at the Imperial Capital in the previous timeline, she hadn't recognized him. This explained that she hadn't seen him previously so there was no way she could've identified him now.

"However, I have one condition."

Jiang Xiu looked at her curiously, "Say it."

"I can help you win this contest. Your village will be saved from this disaster and also enjoy future days peacefully. But in exchange, you have to follow me and pledge loyalty to the Lin family."

"Work for my Lin family."

The gazes with which the youths beside Lin Mi looked at Jiang Xiu changed, they were filled with envy. This was something many people yearned for. Although they'd become a servant, it was worth noticing whose servant they became. There was a difference between the Emperor's servants and servants of an ordinary person. Lin family was quite powerful, and even if he were a servant, he'd incur respect from several people. Just like that Uncle Fu between Lin Mi, no one would dare to disrespect him.

"What did you say?"

Ice-cold killing intent could be felt from the gaze Jiang Xiu looked at Lin Mi. That expression was as if he was looking at a dead person.

"Lin family, one of the ten commanders of the Imperial Family, that Lin family."

Whoosh!

Everyone made an uproar as they all knew about the 10 Great Revolutionary Commanders. Only, most of them were already dead. The only one still alive was from the Lin family, which was one of the top influential families in the nation.

"Brat, your luck's pretty good!"

"Hahaha, I think that brat has become an idiot due to the happiness."

One of the men accompanying Lin Mi joked.

Entering the Lin family was the dream of several people. Quite many wished to enlist in the military, walk the officialdom, or do commerce but there were none who didn't want to join a colossus like the Lin family.

Uncle Fu, who stood behind Lin Mi, spoke in an irritated tone, "Brat, what are you doing there standing like an idiot? Quicky thank the Young Lady."

Lin Mi's gaze remained calm. This was something that could thoroughly transform Jiang Xiu's ordinary fate. But to her, this was just a matter of speaking some words. A sense of superiority exuded off her.

Jiang Xiu raised his drooping eyes, a cold glint flashing through them, "You would've been dead already if you weren't a person of the Lin family."

To an influential expert like Jiang Xiu, asking to become a servant was a matter of extraordinary shame and humiliation.

Were it not for the relationship between her and his mother, Jiang Xiu would've reduced her to ashes and even slaughtered her entire family.

"What did you say?"

Lin Mi doubted whether she misheard those words. He's refusing me? Looking at his appearance, it's as if he has received a huge humiliation. To be able to enter my Lin family is something many people yearn for and you think it's humiliating?

"You're quite prideful, but it seems like you don't know what is called fate and chance… This is a chance which can change your entire life and let you become someone great."

"This Young Lady is bestowing you with boundless prospects."

Jiang Xiu raised his head and wore a smile filled with endless contempt, "Your so-called prospects is nothing but a pitiful joke in this Deity's eyes."

Whoosh!

The surrounding people made a commotion again. You actually look down on the Lin family?!

OMG! This person is insane, right?

"Arrogant kid!"

Uncle Fu shouted. Jiang Xiu was nothing but a little peasant from a remote and desolate place in his eyes, a nobody who he disdained. The old man believed that Jiang Xiu would climb up higher than him, but Jiang Xiu had actually trampled such an opportunity which even he'd feel honored to take. He naturally couldn't endure it anymore.

"Who do you think you are to look down on the Lin family?"

Lin Mi hinted Uncle Fu to calm down by raising her hand. Her gaze was still on Jiang Xiu's face, "This is the first time I'm hearing someone say that my Lin family is a joke, but what identity do you possess to say such a thing? A rural civilian? You must never forget your identity and situation."

"Just take a look. Each and every one is no better than a stray dog."

The people from the Southern Mountain Village lowered their heads in shame. They were really helpless towards the current situation. Even if they did their best, they couldn't change the result.

"My Lin family can settle this matter for you very easily."

No one doubted this as a matter as simple as lifting a hand to the Lin family.

"I'll ask you one final time."

"Are you willing to enter my Lin family?"

If a rural person refused the offer when the Lin family was tossing an olive branch to them, there'd be no face left for her Lin family.

Sister Xiang, Chu Qiancheng, Chen Xue and the rest nodded towards him, hinting him to promise.

This was the last chance.

If he accepted it, then the Southern Mountain Village's situation would completely overturn, and he'd also secure a guarantee for his future.

However, Jiang Xiu's cold gaze swept across her.

"This Deity will go to your Lin family, for sure."

"It's just that…"

"The day this Deity arrives at the Lin family is the day they'll kneel down and repent."
