Chapter 96: A Lot of Room for Improvement
The Xiao Family was the most mysterious family among the Big Three Families.
What made them even more mysterious was the whole clan disappeared overnight and lived incognito, no one knew where they had gone.
All of the Xiaos were born with strong Internal Chi inside, no one knew the reason. And the Internal Chi would stand out once the Xiaos started to cultivate Martial Arts, they would yield twice the result with half the effort compared with their counterparts for they could skip the process of feeling and taming Internal Chi, and a steady flow of Internal Chi would multiply once they knew how to control it.
Even the most talented Martial Arts cultivators would work feverishly to learn to take control of the Internal Chi for the first time while the Xiaos were just born with that gift.
But it varied as for how strong the Internal Chi each Xiao was born with, some people were just born with ten percent, while others might be twenty, forty, fifty… …
Probably that was one of the reasons why the Xiaos were so popular on seeking marriage alliances, all the families in Jianghu underground would love to betrothed to a Xiao for their future generation.
Sadly, it got out of control quickly due to people who were blinded by greed that it even came to a point where people would resort to crooked ways to marry a Xiao.
No one knew whether that was why the Xiaos chose to conceal their identity and live incognito.
Not long ago, The Gus had accidentally found out where the Xiaos had been hiding and tried to seek marriage alliances with them by force, but they ended up losing the battle.
The Xiaos even ruined the Gu village as a payback, and the Gus thought that was the end.
However, some people had ransacked Gu Village without leaving a trace, and everyone in the village were anxious to find out who they were. They got so anxious for not many people could do this in Gu Village in complete secrecy, and they got so scared on thinking about the possibility this was done by the Xiaos.
Murong Yun didn’t arrived at Gu Village till the next day, the elders in the clan had sent messages to Imperial Noble Consort and asked for help.
Murong Yun was the pride of Gu Village, he had earned respect even from the elders in the clan.
The Imperial Noble Consort had been doing a great job concealing that she was from the Gu Family, only a few people knew about it, and the empress was included, but he empress had been trying to hide it as well, for she didn’t want anyone to worship this rival in love.
The Imperial Noble Consort had to beg Murong Yun to let him go back and help out.
… …
Two ferghana horses were galloping across the vast central plain all the way to the deep south, people could only see two persons in white and black respectively flashing by.
They were Murong Yun and Su Liancheng, the two all wore masks so no one recognized them.
You could only feel indifference through they eyes of the man in black, it seemed like this man would remain indifferent whether granted favors or subjected to humiliation.
While man in white kept exuding tenderness and love through his eyes. Such drastic comparison.
The two stopped at the entrance of Gu Village.
The Gus made livings by forging weapons, swords, hammers, blades, throwing darts… …
The most famous weapon was a Spiritual Sword forged by an elder one hundred years ago, the sword was called ‘Blood Weeping’, the elder used the most rare materials to forge the weapon and the last procedure was a secret till this day.
It was the hardest while the softest sword that had ever existed, you could use it to crush anything and you could wrap it around your waist like a rope.
According to the record, the sword had it own soul.
And according to the hearsay that was handed down, the sword disappeared right after it was forged. Some people said the soul of the sword went to find itself a worthy owner, and some people strongly denied that and said there was no such sword called ‘Blood Weeping’, everything about the sword was fabricated.
Anyways, to return to Murong Yun.
Elders in Gu clan looked the two young men up and down. The man in black was wearing a silver mask, you could feel killing intent oozing from his eyes. And there was a jade pendent hanging around his waist, the jade was Hetian Jade, and there was a ‘Gu’ in Chinese character engraving.
It was a token in Gu clan!
The elders signaled the people to stand in two rows and meet their ‘Deputy Master’ of the clan.
Murong Yun swept across the crowd and said with indifference, “Please show me the way.”
“Yes, Deputy Master.” an elder led the way in the front using Lightness Skill.
Both Su Liancheng and Murong Yun exchanged a look subtly and exclaimed in their hearts, ‘Such great Lightness Skill, we would have fallen behind if not for the ferghana horses.’
How Su Liancheng wished he could slow down and take a break first, seeing Murong Yun and the elders of Gu Family leading the way in the front, his mind ran wild, ‘This is the hardest trip I have ever been on, it looks like I still have a lot of room for improvement if I want to keep up with Brother Eighth.”
