Siu Hoi sat in his house absent-mindedly.195Please respect copyright.PENANAYzxDYCcVPF
Winter had set in, which was the season where farming activities were on hold.195Please respect copyright.PENANAW91Cv56ops
Normally, he would be having snowball fights and building snowmen with his father during winter, but now the old man had passed on… so there was nothing for him to do.195Please respect copyright.PENANAQzMz9oypkv
Since this thought came to his mind, Siu Hoi stood up and walked out of his house to build a snowman.195Please respect copyright.PENANAjos36MboOp
One for the mother he had never seen before, another for his dear daddy.195Please respect copyright.PENANAIXBV4SZ3o0
Looking at the snowmen, loneliness and pity suddenly gushed into his heart and he cried while hugging the snowmen.195Please respect copyright.PENANAE6chG1Ownz
“This is the mentally retarded kid?” A cold voice rang from his back. Shocked, Siu Hoi turned around immediately to see two old men glaring at him like they wanted his life.195Please respect copyright.PENANAABvL5YPNzC
They were none other than Chung Kin Shing and Cheung Pak. Even Chui Yim couldn’t have predicted that these clans of Heaven’s Pillar City would have methods to track their disciples’ vitality. These were superior techniques that weren’t seen in South Imperial City.195Please respect copyright.PENANAw1uUN1e2IT
Thus, Chui Yim figured that it would take them a few days before they realised what was going on and found Siu Hoi. Because of this, the help Chui Yim got from the Metallic Blood War Gate would only arrive a few days later, unable to provide any help at the moment.195Please respect copyright.PENANAvbMaRJVDeg
Because Chui Yim was distracted that day, he made a small mistake that he, who was currently far away right now, would never know about.

“Where’s the culprit?” Cheung Pak lifted Siu Hoi up, asking him furiously.195Please respect copyright.PENANAa4X1ie8tJP
Never had Siu Hoi seen such a ferocious person in his life, and he ended up crying in fear.195Please respect copyright.PENANALbaFjEOzUx
“Trash!” Cheung Pak shattered Siu Hoi’s shoulder with a hard squeeze. “Spill it! Who is the culprit and where did he go? And how is he related to you!?”
In great pain and fear, all Siu Hoi could do was cry. Hearing him, some Fallen Leaves villagers walked out.
When they saw the poor child of Farmer Siu being bullied, they shouted at the bad guys, but suddenly, pink objects flew across the area, and the cherry blossoms dispersed like the grim reaper’s weapon.195Please respect copyright.PENANAIuwRQNPFDe
Everyone that wanted to save Siu Hoi looked at them as if they were monsters and dared not make another move.195Please respect copyright.PENANAg6A4Xdf76S
“Gliphs don’t know how to hold back, so it’s best to stay away.” Chung Kin Shing glared at them coldly.195Please respect copyright.PENANAxTr2lM8TKZ
To the commoners, cultivators were immortals that could kill numerous people with just a wave of their hands. Every resident in the village was just a farmer, and none of them dared to go against the cultivators.
The villagers dispersed immediately, not even daring to spectate in case they angered the immortals.195Please respect copyright.PENANARPLpxmUw0e
However, Siu Hoi’s cries still annoyed the cultivators.195Please respect copyright.PENANAz8FvROYaD4
“I don’t think we’ll get anything from him, just take his life.” Cheung Pak frowned.195Please respect copyright.PENANAvhM1Z7sX59
Chung Kin Shing disagreed. “Bring him back to my mansion. I have some secret methods that might get something out of him.”
Hearing this, Cheung Pak nodded and stuffed a random cloth in Siu Hoi’s mouth, dragging him away like an animal.195Please respect copyright.PENANAgHNmTtJjKg
Nobody in the village dared to save Siu Hoi.195Please respect copyright.PENANAQuwYeTmVRd
They were just commoners, and the entire village might have to pay with their lives if the immortals were offended. Wiping an entire village out was a piece of cake to cultivators.

“Mm-mm, mm-mm.” Despite being stuffed with cloth, Siu Hoi grunted in pain. However, neither Chung Kin Shing nor Cheung Pak felt a single bit of pity.195Please respect copyright.PENANATHJgOIeThd
They just lost their daughter and son respectively, so why would they care about this stranger? They would do way more than crushing a shoulder to find the murderer.195Please respect copyright.PENANAySNkhITKIb
Dragging Siu Hoi along, they made their way towards Heaven’s Pillar City, leaving long tracks from dragging him behind.195Please respect copyright.PENANAcEEZe8gO5Z
195Please respect copyright.PENANAFo0vg6hVtW
A black figure appeared in front of them out of the blue. It seemed slow, but in fact, the figure moved at a rapid speed; it had already overtaken the two men by the time they realised.
Chung Kin Shing looked around in horror. “Who was that? He’s moving at lightning speed!”195Please respect copyright.PENANAOrQ1I8ohEU
Cheung Pak was similarly filled with horror; he was even more surprised compared to Chung Kin Shing since he was a glipher. Cheung Pak had great strength and speed, but that person moved at a speed a dozen times faster than him, unable to even be identified!195Please respect copyright.PENANAcZkJWGOy2U
“Eh?”195Please respect copyright.PENANAjcGbTbG0c8
A voice rang out of nowhere. The figure that dashed across came back and landed next to them like a tornado. However, all he had in his eyes was Siu Hoi.195Please respect copyright.PENANAMWimFeozJ0
“May I know who you are?” Chung Kin Shing tried to keep his calm and asked. “I’m the clan leader of Heaven’s Pillar City, Chung-”195Please respect copyright.PENANAndOvyjoocp
Plop. His head fell onto the snowy ground and rolled to the side, dying the area red with his blood. Cheung Pak opened his mouth slightly to make a noise only to realise that there was a huge hole in his neck. He tried to stop the blood gushing out with his hands, but it still flowed out like a waterfall until Cheung Pak died of blood loss.195Please respect copyright.PENANAm2CM2rx7vm
Siu Hoi, who was still struggling hard, was so badly shocked that he was at a loss for words.195Please respect copyright.PENANAOQp6giKybF
He only had the mentality of a child, so how could he be able to comprehend such a frightening scene? He stood rooted to the ground, unable to move a single muscle.195Please respect copyright.PENANA0bzmh2zmp5
In front of him stood a man who was smiling from ear to ear in pleasant surprise.195Please respect copyright.PENANAwEX2Df2GOX
“It’s the Nine Chills Child! First the Sacred Son, now the Nine Chills Child, our tribe is blessed by the heavens!” The man was none other than Ling Fei, who Siu Fu sent over, but the last thing that Ling Fei expected to find was a living man instead of a treasure – a living man with the Nine Chills Child body.195Please respect copyright.PENANAsgvR6SxAsF
Siu Hoi, who was shaken to the core, still didn’t know that his life would be extremely different from now on.

South Imperial City was a major city, the capital of the current Lam Dynasty. It was also the dreamland of many Southerners as well as home to the most prestigious institutions, a thriving and prestigious entity.195Please respect copyright.PENANAjEfdVUT9ji
Coachmen were driving carriages with a vibe of arrogance and haughtiness.195Please respect copyright.PENANAAgql07gghe
There were also young females and males donned in expensive clothes.195Please respect copyright.PENANAgPSYAfvJlS
Even merchants and shop workers were dressed nicely and had auras unlike any commoners would.195Please respect copyright.PENANA8OWokWQhLk
Thus, the youth that arrived with his mother felt out of place.195Please respect copyright.PENANATTqXL29Bmm
“My son, would that teacher lie to us?” his mother asked worriedly.195Please respect copyright.PENANAwuVQWqMSH7
Unlike her, the youth was composed. He was determined despite his current messy state. “Who are we for the teacher to play a prank on? There’s no need for him to waste so much effort just to joke around with us.195Please respect copyright.PENANAWqEKBuGFrL
“Let’s go, mum.”195Please respect copyright.PENANAU5FGySVlwF
The pair stopped by a small shop and bought two buns to feast on before making their way to Black Tortoise Avenue that was north of the Evergreen Palace. The pair continued making their way as if they were heading to the utmost north of the city.195Please respect copyright.PENANA1EOKmQUino
After about an hour, they spotted many monks and were finally stopped by two monks when they reached a certain area. “I’m sorry, benefactors, this is Apex Temple, and only authorised people are allowed in.”195Please respect copyright.PENANAyjBjVT3SBb
The youth wanted to bow to them like they did, but because he was anxious, he looked jittery. “Greetings, masters. I’m here to find Master Yuen Yau.”195Please respect copyright.PENANA6nXbmEN7oZ
The monks exchanged glances. “Senior Brother Yuen Yau is having his night class currently. Please follow me, benefactors, I’ll lead you to a pavilion to rest.”
“Thank you, masters.” Man Fai bowed again.195Please respect copyright.PENANAtEAHYDdZ0i
