After putting the ancient weapon in his spatial ring he left the forest and went to a nearby village to rest. Arriving at the village he saw that it was different from the other ones he had been through. As he was walking through he had discovered that everyone was starring at him nervously. Many had ran back inside their house or a small hay house.
Looking at their houses made Tai Kuai frown, people were afraid of him? Why? He had wanted to stay here for a night since it was already the evening so he went up to someone. But that person got so afraid and panicked. He just stood there begging which made Tai Kuai feel confused. He didn't do anything.
Just as he was going to call out and ask the man whats going on, he suddenly hears a small whistling sound. It wasn't strong or weak and so he casually tilted his head and it went pass him. He turned around and saw a little boy around 5-7 years old. He looked like a short and scrawny kid. He had a rough face and had a plain clothing. He looked dirty as there was dust on his brown hair.
"Hey you! Get out of this village! We don't want you here!" the kid yelled out loud. Some villagers started cursing at the boy for being so stupid. Hearing this, had surprised Tai Kuai as a look of astonishment appeared on his face. He smiled as he looked at the scrawny little boy that had a brave attitude.
When the boy saw that the person in front of him was smiling at him as he was an amusement it had made him angry and so the boy ran up to him with a small branch in his hand and swung it towards Tai Kuai. Seeing this, Tai Kuai moved his at a very fast speed and with one finger he lightly touched the boy head. 'Huh? Damn you!' the boy thought as he tried advancing forward.
It was quite a funny side if you watched from the sides. If you look from the sides, you can see that Tai Kuai is standing there like an unmovable mountain while the boy is trying to hit Tai Kuai. This had continued for a minute and the boy still didn't give up and so Tai Kuai jumped to his left and the boy who suddenly leaped forward landing his face on the ground made Tai Kuai laugh out loud. He then spotted something which made Tai Kuai curious as he was about to stop laughing.
But hearing Tai Kuai's laughter, the boy grew mad and shouted "damn you! You evil scum! Someone like you should die! Exor- oor...uhhh..... stea- yeah stealing out money and taking kidnapping girls! Just wait, until I-" When Tai Kuai when had heard spoke, he frowned. Listening more he grew mad and released a cold aura. Just a little bit of qi was enough to crush normal human and this was just a little brat, what could he do?
"Listen here, brat! I do what I want and when I want. I just came here and you accuse me of false crimes? Are you seriously this stupid brat? No wonder brats are brats and I'm getting angry over a brat." Tai Kuai said out loud.
The boy hearing this started to cry and shouted "I'm NOT A BRAT! Calling me a brat...1...2...3..4..5.... 5 times!" he said counting his fingers. "I am Xavier Pyro!" Xavier shouted. "Also, if your not a bad guy then... who are you?! You have power right? A cultivator!? Then... then... please help us!" Xavier said dropping on his knees and crying.
Seeing this made Tai Kuai feel a little guilty, was I too harsh? I thought I was just stating something obvious in a cold tone. As Tai Kuai was going to speak again. He heard an old voice come from a few meters behind him.
"Excuse me young lord, I apologize on behalf of my stupid grandson. An old man said as he walked towards Xavier. The old man was holding a small black canes with hunched backs that could rival a camel.
"Grandapa! You shouldn't be getting out of bed! Your sick!" Xavier yelled frantically as he ran to the old man. "Hoho, this old man is lively you brat! Oh and my name is *cough cough* Yan Tian Pyro. Please, come with me, this old man will let you stay in the house of mine. I shall explain everything you want to know." Yan Tian said was turned around to walk.
"Come on you brat!" "Yes grandpa! Don't call me brat!" "shut up! you are nothing more than a brat!" "and your nothing more than a hunched camel!"
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
They both yelled at each other all the way as they were walking. 10 minutes later, they finally arrived and Tai Kuai saw that this house was way better than the others. The others were living in a small hay house, while this house was made of wood.
As they both walked in, you could see two beds at each side of the wall. A table in the middle with 4 chairs. There was also a small kitchen and a desk. Yan Tian then told Tai Kuai to sit down and he did, he also told Xavier too. After that, Yan Tian got some water in a plastic cup and walked over.
He sat down a began explaining about hist situation. They once had a peaceful life and one day bandits came. It was very cliche Tai Kuai had thought. Yan Tian then began talking about how they destroyed houses, stealing their money and kidnapping woman.
Yan Tian who was explaining also paid attention to what Tai Kuai's reaction would be but was surprised. This kid didn't say or show anything, which had him angry a bit. Tai Kuai who had reliased this didn't care but instead he stopped Yan Tian from speaking while putting his right hand up. This made the Yan Tian even more depressed, he thought the young man was arrogant and trying to make him feel weak puny made him angry.
But he held it in because the young man was a cultivator and he couldn't offend one. He could kill him in one hit or without even lifting a finger. But Yan Tian didn't care about his life, since he was old and was going to die soon anyways. But he cared about his grandson. What if he kills him? This made him frightened and worried. But what Tai Kuai said made him feel shocked.
"Old man....there was a small mark on this boy.... chest. Is he.... no are you guys perhaps.... from the long lost "Pyromancer Bloodline?" Tai asked slowly.
Hearing this, Yan Tian was about to deny it but when he saw the young man serious face, he then sighed and replied "Yes.....we are the long lost bloodline....last one perhaps.....It is true. I don't know how you know this but we pyro-"
"Pyromancers can wield fire as you like right? The more understanding you have and powerful insights, then you can evolve the flame. Talent is just something that helps you from the beginning. Strong will and determination will allow one to become strong, to become a true cultivator right? Although I only a little, but only pure bloodlines can use their power to its maximum. and pure ones have a flame on their chest like Xavier here who is drooling in his sleep."
"And what? It has been thousands of years and finally a pure one appears on his chest, he can train in it but.....what he needs are the cultivation techniques.... just like you right old man?"
"Oh and as for how I know...well, I just read it in a old book. A very old one about evolved humans." Tai Kuai said smiling. Hearing Tai Kuai's words had made Yan Tian speechless. To know this much he was quite surprised. Nodding at Tai Kuai's words he said "yes yes.....what you said is true....however, the part about cultivation book is that....well..kid, i trust you. I know I will die in a few years and this dumb brat would be alone... all alone."
Anyways, 3 years ago I have discovered an old book inside Fu Zhou city in a book store. It had the methods of the "PYROAMNCER TECHNIQUES! It was cheap and i bought it. After all, no one can use it so who wants it? And when the time comes, Xavier will train it and become a "Pyromancer!" he will then bring glory back to our clan! hehe, it might sound crazy, but I believe he can do it!" Yan Tian smiled widely.
'Gross smile, but he is similar to me. Except..... I ain't that dumb and....well who cares' Tai Kuai thought. "Alright old man, first I will get rid of the bandits okay? As for taking care of your grandson....In 3 years? I will come back. Okay? I have things to do and if your not a deaths door, then we can....have another chat" Tai Kuai smiled as he got up and shook his hands with Yan Tian.
"Thank you son, oh you can sleep on that bed. Tonight I will just sleep with this brat, haha" man laughed cheerfully. As they lied down on the bed, they very quickly entered in to the land of dreams.
(So tiring.....3rd one...you know what, One more chapter! I think I can only do one more! I HAVE A HEADACHE! if it subdues, then the 5th one may come out.)
