Chapter 1080

(Unedited)

…

"Hahaha… That thing could only be mine, no auction is needed here!" a young man with a regal appearance said while walking towards the crowd.

Behind that man are two others who are wearing leather armor. The two look like soldiers and it seems like they are guarding the young man. Their expression is serious and they did not show any emotion within their faces while walking behind the young man.

"Oh, no… it's the commander's son… Wang Changli… This is going to be bad for the auction stall…" a person muttered in a low voice.

But it seems that his voice was heard by Wang Changli as he took a quick glance at the man. The man seems to have known of his blunder and quickly lowered his head. Meanwhile, Yao Xue on the side of Xin Ja began shaking.

She did not know what to do and she could feel her knees buckling in fear and anxiety. She already expected that this might happen because they are in a village where one of the prominent families is the Wangs.

She thought that she has already prepared herself for the worst. She thought that she could overcome her fears as long as she prepares herself. However, no matter what kind of preparation she has been doing and how she tells herself that she can be brave in facing such a challenge, there is nothing to compare to what reality is showing her.

Right in front of her is her fiancé. He is the man that she was supposed to be married to and the one who actually wanted her shamed and dead.

Although she is telling herself that she should not be afraid, she could not help but feel her knees caving in.

Suddenly, a strong palm grabs hers, and in that instant, it seems that her fears, anxiety, and worries suddenly went away.

"Calm down…" Xin Ja said as he noticed the uneasiness on Yao Xue.

At this time, Wang Changli already arrives in front of the stone and suddenly grabs it in one move.

"Wait! No…" the auctioneer wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.

Wang Changli has already held the metallic frost ore in his hand and with a slight sneer on his face turns around to leave.

But before he could take another step, a wizened voice interrupted him.

"It is better that you put that down, disrespectful young lad from the Wang family." The old man whom Tong Waiong is escorting said with a hint of warning in his tone.

But before the old man could say anything, one of the guards suddenly unsheathes his sword and pointed it to the group.

"How dare you threaten the son of the commander!" he growled.

The old man did not flinch, but Tong Waiong and the pudgy Mister Ling were a bit afraid. How could they not be? The guards are actually 5th level Ki fighters... so, any of the people in this place would not be their match. As guards, it is said that their fighting skills are top-notch, so even a 6th level would have a hard time defeating them.

So the people in this area did not say anything and just let the group leave.

At this time another wizened voice said.

"He is not threatening your young master, but warning you… In fact, the hand of your young master is already frozen. If he is not treated early, then one could only amputate his hand…"

This voice came from the white-haired old man.

At this time, Xin Ja was a bit surprised as he did not feel the man approaching. And before he knew it, the old man is already standing beside him.

Upon hearing this, the guards immediately look at their charge. With that, the two immediately knew that something is quite wrong. Their young master's expression seemed pale and that he seems to be gritting his teeth.

"Sigh… Greed would always cause one's downfall…" the divine doctor said while shaking his head.

He was about to turn around, but the guard suddenly called out.

"Wait! You know of the danger, it means that you know how to cure it, right?" he said in a tone that requires a correct answer.

It was like… he is trying to threaten the old man, and would not take a 'no', for an answer.

"Divine Doctor Ba, I know of your kind gesture… but, you know who that brat is, right?" suddenly Master Refiner Ha said with a warning tone.

He is actually worried about the divine doctor at this time. He actually knew what kind of person is Divine Doctor Ba, and he admires his attitude towards medicine and healing. But that person in need right now is not an ordinary person.

In the village, there are many factions. And these factions love to fight against each other. And this rivalry has been happening for a long time. Those that are not included in this rivalry would sometimes suffer the repercussion without even knowing it.

And this is the reason why Master Refiner Ha is warning the kind, old man.

The guard did not wait for Divine Doctor Ba to answer as one of them suddenly appears beside him and his sword is already pointer at his neck.

"Cure the young master, or else…" the guard said with a threatening tone.

On the side, Xin Ja is feeling a bit conflicted. Although he is also aware of such attitudes of people, he is still not comfortable about it. Especially after being educated for 4 years by his old self Shin Jiao, he feels that this kind of thing is something that people in power should not do.

He even heard him saying a quote… One that has great power should carry greater responsibility. Well, in that lesson, he was talking about being a soldier. Xin Ja was a bit amazed at how people in that world called Earth have that kind of attitude towards their people.

He could just imagine how wonderful it would be if the world he is living has the same peaceful era. However, every time he finishes his lesson and wakes up from his reality, he would just shake his head. The world he is living in right now is different. The people have different perspectives and outlooks on life than that place.

Suddenly, Xin Ja's musing was interrupted when the guard wanted to force Divine Doctor Ba. Xin Ja felt the Ki energy in the sword. But with a flick of his hand, the sword on the soldier was actually deflected and was thrown to the side.

But the aura in their body, made Xin Ja feel a bit stifled. He has already felt this kind of aura before and it is truly something else.

Those that are weaker than the two suddenly feel unable to breathe.

And so, everyone immediately began spreading and walking away from the two in the middle.

Xin Ja quickly grabs Yao Xue's hand and walks away but the direction he took is behind the guard. Soon, he was able to reach the disordered crowd and stood with them while watching the ongoing fight.

Divine Doctor Ba might be a healer, but the aura in his body is telling everyone that he is actually a 5th level Ki fighter.

"If you do not heal our young master, then you will suffer the consequence of your choice!" shouted the guard.

At this time, Wang Changli is already on the ground with his body shivering.

Xin Ja on the side suddenly remembers the words of the Shen in the abode. Then he could feel a warm current in his chest which shows that the consciousness is actually waking up.

'Sigh… My Wang generation has truly become weak and despondent. How could be stupid as to touch a metallic frost ore?'

Upon hearing this, Xin Ja just shook his head. He actually knew the reason for this. The metallic frost ore is actually not a common ore. It is a rare ore, even in Ogden town, so how could anyone know its effect? Even Xin Ja would commit the same mistake.

He even just grabs the heavy stone he bought a while ago which is already inside the storage ring hanging on his neck. He quickly hides it while everyone was in chaos as they escaped.

"Well, you can't blame him, he has a greedy nature." Xin Ja muttered in a low voice.

But who would have known that the guard would actually be able to hear his words?

With a deadly glare from the guard, Xin Ja was suddenly hit by the guard's mental suppression. It made him stagger a bit, but it was not enough to make him fall.

The guard was a bit stunned upon discovering this, and he soon became angry. He suddenly brandished his sword towards Divine Doctor Ba and at the same time, he secretly grabs a knife from his back, and with a swing of his hand, he wanted to quickly throw it in Xin Ja's direction.

The guard wanted to teach these people that slandering his young master equates to death. That was what Commander Wang instructed them to do.

With a killing glint, he flicked his hand to throw the knife.

However…
