Reincarnation of the Human Swordsman

10

I finally got enough money to rent an inn for one night. Inside the inn I told Huo Lin to take a bath, clean himself, and then put on the black clothes and robes I prepared for him. I think I should start my plan in this city with him from this second on.

Whahuh? You guys ask me where do I get the money?

Ahaha! Don't you guys know? Or have you forgotten that I have two very loyal disciples? Ahaha! They both willingly gave all their money to me and stayed in the forest. They are really good students. I was so moved from the outermost layer of my heart!

While waiting for Huo Lin who was cleaning himself up, I took a walk outside the inn for a moment, enjoying the atmosphere of the city that was starting to be quiet. Although around this inn had indeed been deserted before. Probably because it's far from the city center.

“I wonder who is the King of the Mainland now? Is someone from the Dragon Man Race or Pure Man?” I looked up for a moment. “The thing is not a Pure Man anyway. After all, was Ling Chen the one who changed this system? I really don't understand.”

Exhaling deeply, I decided to return to the inn room. Maybe now Huo Lin had already finished cleaning himself.

I also arrived at the room and met Huo Lin sitting down while bowing my face. “What's up?”

Huo Lin shook his head, then rubbed his eyes. Is she crying? Wh why?

“Nothing ...”

It's good that there's nothing. “Rest, Huo Lin. You must still feel pain after getting a lot of punches earlier.”

“Hm ...” The girl nodded, then lay on the bed as I ordered.

As Huo Lin lay down, I only realized that he had a very small horn on his head. Was he a descendant of the Dragon Man Race as well? But why was he abandoned? Didn't that Dragon Man Race have a high martabak in this world? I don't really understand.

“Mm ...”

Whatisthis? Does Huo Lin want me to recite a fairy tale before going to bed for him? I hope not ….

“Do you need anything?” my many. I didn't expect him to actually ask me to read him a fairy tale before bed.

“It ...” He was silent for a moment. “I don't know what your name is ..”

Ah, thank God he didn't ask me to read a fairy tale before going to bed.

“Ah, my fault, sorry haven't told me.” I exhaled a short breath. “My name is Luo Xiao. Nice to meet you, Huo Lin.”

“Mm ...”

Did I make a mistake? Ah, she's asleep. That's fast.

Since Huo Lin was sleeping on the mattress, I decided to sleep on the mat-shaped floor made of pandan leaves, I guess? Never mind, no need to think too much.

That night, I slept pretty well, after a week of staying in the woods. And by the way, it's the first time I've slept in a room with a girl in this second life.

Meanwhile, inside the forest, two young men were sitting in front of a small bonfire. One of them seemed very upset about something.

“Do not do so, Zhang,” the other young man reprimanded his friend. “Teacher must have certain conditions so borrow our money.”

“Yue Jian!” The young man named Zhang was still unwilling. “You think too positively about that selfish little King! You don't remember how many times he fooled us in training?!”

“But, he is our Teacher no matter what.” Yue Jian was still calm. “Just the contrary. Helping Master when he is in trouble is also one of our ways to repay his cultivation. Am I wrong?”

Before Zhang could refute, the two young men stood up. How not, one of the old men who had earlier broke up a fight between them and Fang Chu, was now hovering right in front of them.

“Who are you?!” Zhang immediately formed the horses and was alert, while Yue Jian stood behind the young man.

“Haha. Sorry to surprise you guys,” said the man. “I am Yi Xian, one of the Elders at the Red Soil College.”

“A elder?” yue Jian asked, making sure. “What does such an important person do in this forest?”

“I didn't mean bad. I'm just curious about your awesome power.”

“Do you intend to find out the origin of our power?” Yue Jian guessed. “But sorry, we have no intention to disclose it.” He guessed that the elder named Yi Xian was about to make use of him, so he immediately rejected it.

“Hahaha. I knew you guys would say that. But, I'm not here to find out, but rather offer something.” Yi Xian set his foot. “Are you guys interested in hearing it?”

“Unfortunately not too,” replied Yue Jian, firmly.

“I think it's okay to listen to this old geezer for a moment, Yue Jian ..” Zhang said, giving his opinion.

“I'll get straight to the point only.” Yi Xian looked extremely unconcerned whether Yue Jian and Zhang were willing to listen to him or not. “How about you guys become my students at Tanah Merah College? You will get great facilities and resources if you agree.”

“Sorry, but we already have a Master!” This time Yue Jian did not let Zhang have an opinion anymore.

Despite hearing that, Yi Xian was still unwilling to give up. “Don't it matter to you to have more than 1 teacher, like a teacher who can have more than 1 student?”

“Very reasonable, but our teacher is much stronger than anyone.” It seemed that Zhang did not want to deny the strength of his teacher, so could say the sentence with complete confidence. “Tens or hundreds of teachers are not comparable to him!”

“Then why do you have such a great teacher, even sleep in the forest like this? Isn't your teacher great?”

Without any sign, thousands of arrows made of wind, floated up, pointing right at Yi Xian. Yue Jian very much did not accept that anyone insulted his teacher so blatantly. “At first I didn't want to hurt you, but you started it first!”

Yi Xian raised his hand, slightly sweating coldly. “Sorry, I accidentally said it.”

This kind of strength, clearly far exceeded Yi Xian's expectations. This made the old man become even more curious about the teacher Yue Jian and Zhang. However, now he had to think about how to get out of here without offending the two young men again.

“If you guys insist, I won't force.” Yi Xian smiled. “But, if you are thinking of enrolling in Red Land College in three weeks, you can contact me anytime. I'll be happy to help.”

After saying that sentence, Yi Xian immediately left in a manner hovering in the air. He felt that he should not offend Yue Jian and Zhang.
