Chapter 10 Keeping the Promise



The shopkeeper looked at the red sword on the table and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Son-in-law, you really gave me a difficult problem!"

Hearing this, Feng Shao couldn't help but ask curiously: "What do you mean? It's just a sword. Whether it's Linglong Pavilion or Yunjian Pavilion, it should be easy to deal with it, right?"

"It's easy to handle ordinary magical weapons. But this is the Blood Refined Sword, the sword worn by Blood Wing, one of the Four Evils of the Demon Sect in the past. This sword has a very strong evil aura. If you hold it for too long, your mind will inevitably be controlled by it. It is a real magic weapon. Although my boss likes to collect magical weapons, this kind of magic weapon cannot be kept as a collection. It can only be suppressed somewhere." The shopkeeper explained with a wry smile.

Feng Shao was disappointed: "So, Linglong Pavilion and Yunjian Pavilion will not purchase this Blood Refining Sword?"

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, please forgive me for being frank. This Blood Refined Sword is a hot potato. I can't keep it in my hands, but I can't just throw it away. So this sword... I'm afraid I have to ask the boss for instructions first, and then I can make a decision."

Feng Shao knew that the big boss the shopkeeper was referring to was the head of Yunjian Pavilion, Lin Fengtian. Feng Shao nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you, shopkeeper. As for the things I bought today, I'll buy them on credit for now. If Yunjian Pavilion is willing to buy this sword, I'll use it to pay off the debt. If not, I'll pay it back the next time I come. What do you think?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Then let's do as the uncle says!"

After Feng Shao put the things he bought into the storage ring, he said goodbye and left.

After leaving Linglong Pavilion, Feng Shao walked into the restaurant next door. The child hadn't come yet, maybe because of something that delayed him, but it was also possible that he would not come. Feng Shao decided to wait for him here for two hours, and if he couldn't wait, forget it.

Feng Shao ordered a pot of wine and a dish, and sat down at a window seat on the second floor. While waiting for the child, he was thinking about his trip to Bifangyuan in a few days.

Bifangyuan is listed as one of the ten forbidden areas, so it is very important. Ordinary people can easily be burned to ashes if they get close to it, let alone enter. However, Feng Shao wants to take his junior brothers and sisters to go deep into Bifangyuan, and dig under the Bifang trees to find the source of the Bifang fire. Feng Shao can't say whether there will be any accidents in the process, so he has to bring more or less various equipment with him in case of emergency.

The trip to Bifangyuan cannot be taken lightly, otherwise the whole group will be wiped out easily.

Before I knew it, an hour had passed.

And the child still didn't come.

Feng Shao looked at the street outside the window and couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that he had made a mistake this time.

Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden commotion on the street. Pedestrians on the street gathered in groups of three or four, pointing at the same place and talking endlessly. That location happened to be in Feng Shao's blind spot, so Feng Shao didn't know what was going on.

But for some reason, Feng Shao felt a little uneasy. As a cultivator, the path of cultivation emphasizes the unity of man and nature, so many times the feeling of uneasiness in his heart is not groundless, but something is really going to happen. So Feng Shao did not hesitate, and went downstairs and headed in the direction pointed by the pedestrian.

Before he got there, he saw a small figure crawling on the ground with difficulty, and behind him was a trail of red. The red stretched for dozens of meters, and it was unknown how much blood the small figure had shed.

But that little figure seemed to be obsessed with something. Even though his speed was slower than a turtle's, and even though he had to use all his strength to crawl an inch, he never stopped for a moment.

Feng Shao recognized it immediately; the figure was exactly that little kid!

Without thinking, he rushed to the child like the wind, picked him up without caring about the dust and dirt on his body, then took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth.

The child was already unconscious, and he was crawling all the way relying only on his obsession. When Feng Shao picked him up, he regained consciousness a little. After seeing the person holding him clearly, he immediately flattened his mouth and cried out "wow".

"I'm sorry, benefactor, I... I wanted to arrive earlier... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to break the promise..." The child explained to Feng Shao while crying.

Feng Shao's face was as gloomy as water, and he said in a calm tone: "It's okay, I've seen it. You are very good. Even though you were seriously injured, you still wanted to keep the appointment. You are a good child!"

After Feng Shao fed the child the pill, he immediately checked his body. This check was not important, but Feng Shao could not help but burst into anger.

The child had multiple injuries caused by heavy blows, and it was obvious that he had been punched and kicked. There were three fractures on his body, including two ribs and a shin bone. There was a large wound on his forehead, back and lower abdomen, and the wound on the lower abdomen was particularly serious. If the bleeding was not stopped in time, I am afraid that this child would not live long.

In addition, there was another discovery that greatly surprised Feng Shao.

This little child is actually a girl!

However, because the child was too young and malnourished, his body had not yet fully grown, which was why Feng Shao mistakenly thought he was a boy.

He held the little girl in his arms and rushed into Linglong Pavilion in front of the surprised eyes of passers-by. The shopkeeper was surprised to see Feng Shao coming back. After seeing the child in his arms, the shopkeeper immediately understood and ordered the clerk: "Quick! Go and get a doctor!"

The drug took effect and the little girl fell asleep. Feng Shao looked at the scarred little girl and recalled the scene when he first saw Lin Xiaoran seven years ago.

Lin Xiaoran was almost the same at that time.

After all, this is a fantasy world, where human life is as cheap as grass, which makes Feng Shao, who grew up in modern society, extremely uncomfortable. He believes that he is not a savior and cannot save everyone. But if he sees it, he still can't turn a blind eye.

Feng Shao took a deep breath and said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, please take care of the child. I'm going to be out for a while."

The shopkeeper nodded: "Don't worry, sir, we will take care of the child!"

After leaving Linglong Pavilion, Feng Shao couldn't help but reveal murderous intent in his eyes.

Who on earth would actually attack such a young child? Is this person still a human being? He is simply a beast! Even worse than a beast!

If I don't take care of this matter, my thoughts will not be clear!

Feng Shao walked along the blood trail where the little girl crawled. After walking about two or three hundred meters, he stopped at the door of a pharmacy.

This is where the blood ends.

He walked into the pharmacy, came to the counter, and asked the guy in charge of dispensing medicine: "Hey, I have a question for you."

The waiter saw that Feng Shao's clothes were a little dirty but elegant, and knew at once that he was not a young man from an ordinary family, so he quickly asked, "Excuse me, sir, what can I do for you?"

Feng Shao pointed at the door and asked, "What happened here just now? Why is there so much blood?"

The clerk couldn't help but sigh when he heard this and said, "Oh, it's really pitiful! There was a little girl whose brother was sick, and she came with silver to buy medicine. Lai Tou San and his gang saw her and insisted that the girl's money was stolen from them, and asked her to hand over the money. The girl refused, so they beat her up and almost killed her, and even took away the silver."

Feng Shao asked: "Is there no one in charge? There are so many people around here, and they just watched them commit crimes?"

The waiter smiled and said, "Sir, you are probably from another place, right? That bald-headed third brother has a sworn brother, and I heard he became a disciple of the Taiwei Sect and is a true disciple of the third branch. Because of this, the bald-headed third brother has become very powerful, and he relies on the name of his sworn brother to stir up trouble everywhere all day long. His sworn brother is going to be an immortal in the future, so how can we mortals afford to offend him? So we just try to avoid him if we can."

Feng Shao frowned and said, "Even if he has a sworn brother who is studying martial arts in Taiwei Sect, you don't have to be so afraid of him, right? Could it be that his sworn brother would disregard the sect's rules and attack civilians without authorization?"

The seven major rules of Taiwei Sect are: one is not to betray the teacher and destroy the ancestors; two is not to kill fellow disciples; three is not to collude with the devil; four is not to bully the weak; five is not to act recklessly; six is ​​not to be arrogant and extravagant; seven is not to steal and rob. If the Taiwei Sect members really seek revenge for this incident, then they have violated the fourth rule and must be punished by confinement for one month. If someone is killed, the sentence will be extended to ten years, and they will also be punished with 100 strokes of the cane.

Originally, Taiwei Sect did not have these sect rules. Feng Shao formulated them based on the martial arts novels he had read in his previous life. The purpose of formulating these sect rules is to create a great and upright image for Taiwei Sect. As the saying goes, "Peaches and plums do not speak, but people come to them of their own accord." As long as Taiwei Sect maintains a good reputation, it will naturally attract people with righteous hearts to join.

Not only that, a sect with a good reputation can also prevent those so-called fellow practitioners who have ill intentions towards it from taking action against it and risking the wrath of the world.

Of course, what is more important is that compared to an environment full of intrigue, Feng Shao prefers such a sect with a harmonious atmosphere.

But the waiter waved his hand and said, "Hey! Sir, you don't know that Lai Tou San's sworn brother is not an easy person to deal with! Before he joined Taiwei Sect, his sworn brother often took them around to stir up trouble. It was just that they had no backers at that time, so they were more restrained. But now... Haha!"

Feng Shao heard this and asked thoughtfully, "According to what you said, if you dare to resist, will his sworn brother come to help Lai Tou San and the others?"

The fellow sighed and said, "Based on what I know about that kid, it's likely to be like this! He has always been an unreasonable guy, and he keeps saying nonsense like 'Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't bully the young and poor'. He is now in the west, and we fellow villagers are in trouble!"

Hearing this, Feng Shao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "What's the name of Lai Tou San's sworn brother?"

The guy thought for a moment and said, "I only know his last name is Ye, but I don't know his first name. But I heard that he changed his name to Ye Chen after he joined Taiwei Sect!"

Feng Shao nodded.

It seems that it is time to rectify the sect’s discipline issues!
