illicit relationship

"Moon Sword Martial Arts School? Why do you think I'm related to that martial arts school?" Xiao Tian still did not know that Wu Lei was following him earlier.

'Did he follow us in secret earlier?'

He added in his mind.

Wu Lei could not answer Xiao Tian's question immediately. Qiao Luli and the others would know he was following them if he gave an honest answer.

"When you fought wild beasts earlier, you seemed to be using moves from that martial arts school, so I wanted to confirm because I was curious." Wu Lei could not help but lie to him.

"Moon Sword Martial Arts School? Hasn't that martial arts school been destroyed?" Xing Juzong was fighting against Xun when Xiao Tian used his secret technique, so he did not know about this.

"Yes. It was destroyed by an unknown group a few years ago." Wu Lei shifted his gaze to Xiao Tian after saying that. "So, are you related to that martial arts school?"

"I have no relationship with that martial arts school." Xiao Tian decided to lie. "I believe you are mistaken, elder."

"I see." Wu Lei responded.

'He doesn't want to admit it. But why?'

He wanted to know about it even more, but he did not force Xiao Tian to reveal the truth.

Actually, Xiao Tian wanted to ask if Wu Lei was following them or not earlier, but he changed his mind because the conversation could lead to the Moon Sword Martial Arts School later.

He did not want them to know who he was because Qing Feng was his trump card against the Xiao family.

"Oh right, Luli. I did not know you were strong." Xing Juzong changed the topic of the conversation. "You are even stronger than my younger sister."

Qiao Luli smiled happily. "Hehe."

Xiao Tian turned his head to look at Qiao Luli.

Actually, he wanted to know about this too. She was only seventeen, but she was already at the Master stage.

Even though she was not as talented as him, but she was still a genius martial artist. She even could injure the wild beasts when they fought Lynxes earlier.

He had never met someone as talented as her before.

All people he had met until now could only reach the Master stage when they were over twenty years old.

If nothing bad had happened to her, he believed there was a high chance of her becoming a martial artist at the Grandmaster stage in her twenties.

There was even a high possibility of her becoming a candidate to be the Ruler like him.

"Big brothers, you two are also awesome!" Qiao Luli knew they were powerful martial artists because she saw them fighting against people from Sanlow village earlier.

"But you are more amazing than us." Xing Juzong praised Qiao Luli.

"Hehe." She giggled happily again.

Sanlow Village.

Sanlow village was located not far from Solaris village. However, their villages were separated by huge mountains.

The villagers were currently in Fu Lim's house, the village head. Fu Lim was an old man with red hair and green eyes. He was fifty-nine years old.

"We lost six people today, and ten of our people are also injured." Fu Lim was unhappy.

"Village head, we should stop attacking them for now. We must prepare everything carefully, not attack them carelessly like today." A mature man about thirty-eight years old spoke abruptly.

He had green hair and black eyes. Her name was Fenhua, captain of the village guard.

"I agreed with Fenhua's words." An old man about fifty-seven years old uttered.

He was Yasheng, the second elder of Sanlow village. Dan was the first elder, so he was of the same generation as Dan.

"Village head, where is that masked man? Didn't he say he would help us?" a mature man about thirty-nine years old inquired.

The mature man had brown hair and red eyes. His name was Ming, the first instructor of Sanlow village.

"I don't know." Fu Lim responded, "I can't get in touch with him since last week."

"Did he lie to us?" an old man about thirty-seven years old asked curiously.

He had green hair and blue eyes. His name was Luoyang, the second instructor.

"I don't know." Fu Lim shook his head.

A young man clenched his fist after hearing their conversation. The young man had blue hair and red eyes.

His name was Gaozhi. He was the most talented person in the younger generation.

'It seems like I can't fight Huang Hu any time soon.'

He really wanted to fight Huang Hu because Huang Hu was the most talented person in Solaris village.

When he went to Solaris village earlier, he hoped he could fight Huang Hu, but he could not find Huang Hu.

That was why he was annoyed when they returned to the village. Huang Hu and he were of the same age and level.

They had fought more than five times, but they could not determine the winner until now because they always ended up in a draw.

"Then we will wait for the masked man and prepare ourselves for the next battle." Yasheng uttered.

"Alright." Fu Li agreed.

Xiao Tian was currently sitting on the wooden bench, looking at the night sky. He could not sleep, so he decided to sit on the wooden bench, enjoying the beautiful night.

'I miss them.'

He missed his women.

Sure, he met them this morning, but he still missed them. And he also missed his little angel so badly.

As Xiao Tian was looking at the moon, a voice suddenly rang out. "What are you doing here, big brother Qing?"

Xiao Tian turned his head toward the source of the sound. "Luli? Why are you still not sleeping?"

She sat next to him before finally answering, "I want to see the moon."

The duo looked at the beautiful night sky without saying a single word.

*Thirty seconds…forty seconds…sixty seconds…

Without realizing it, it had been a minute since she sat on the wooden bench, but none of them said a word as if they only wanted to enjoy the night.

"Big brother, since when did you wear a mask?" she asked curiously.

"Four years ago." He gave an honest answer.

"Why did you decide to wear a mask? Did something happen to your face?" she threw another question.

"To scare young girls like you." He tried to scare her after saying that.

But instead of feeling afraid, she giggled. "Hehe. It's funny."

"Oh, you are not scared?" he uttered.

"No." she shook her head.

The duo chatted for about an hour before finally going to Wu Lei's house to sleep. The following morning, Qiao Luli took Xiao Tian and Xing Juzong on a tour of the village.

At the same time, Huang Hu was sparring with a red-haired young man in the battle ring.

The battle ring was huge and located in the middle of the village. They always sparred every day because, with this, they could continue honing their fighting skills.

After defeating his opponent, Huang Hu looked at his fellow villagers, looking for an opponent.

'Qing Feng?'

Coincidently, Xiao Tian and the others were strolling around the battle ring, so he suddenly wanted to fight Xiao Tian.

"Qing Feng, do you dare to fight me in this battle ring?" Huang Hu shouted.
