Reincarnation of the Human Swordsman
37
All that gathered in this field seemed to be only the new disciples, while the senior disciples came one by one and watched beside the field. Since I was not one of those new disciples, I decided to go undercover among the senior disciples. I hope none of them are aware of my existence.
I haven't had time to watch quietly what's coming next, suddenly someone patted me on the shoulder from behind. I turned around, looking again at the cloaked figure back then.
He immediately left when I saw him, I immediately chased after the black-robed figure with caution, so as not to be caught. However, I must admit that that person can outrun me! Is it because I ran without using my power? It must be like that!
A few moments running, the cloaked figure made me chase after him to get out of the Red Earth School. I'm a little curious about where he's taking me? All right, I'll follow. If you take me to a boring place, don't expect to run away!
“Sial!”
I let my guard down, until a glowing white circle pulled me somewhere I didn't know. The workings of this style must be the same as the gates in the second selection. The person who is about to capture me is definitely part of the Red Land College!
At first I thought that the Red Earth School knew I was an intruder, then sent me to prison. However, why am I even in a spacious room that looks so luxurious? Did a slight error occur in the transfer of the white circle earlier?
“Where is this?” I glanced around. “Hey, you!” I subconsciously shouted at the cloaked figure that trapped me here.
Before I could get close to the cloaked figure, suddenly there was the sound of someone else instantly distracting me, “Good work, Mu Lan.”
“Mu Lan you said?” I glanced at the source of the voice, where a young man with long horns was approaching me.
“Why, Luo Xiao?” asked the long-horned young man whose body was enveloped in golden scales. “Do you know him?”
I turned my eyes towards the cloaked figure earlier. As the figure unfolded his hood, I could clearly see that he was Mu Lan—the hero who defeated Shi Li in the first selection.
“Do not strain so,” the young man again said. “Let's chat, Luo Xiao.” He deliberately brought his face closer to mine. However, I cannot be intimidated just because of this.
“How do you know my name?” I asked back.
The young man turned his gaze towards Mu Lan for a moment, saying, “Mu Lan.”
“Good, Master!” Mu Lan immediately left this room.
“How about we have a casual chat first, Luo Xiao?” The horned young man approached and looked out the window. “Omong by the way my name is Ling Chi.”
“I'm not interested.” I put both hands in my pants pocket, turning towards Ling Chi. “Tell me what you want? You must have brought me here to be interrogated about the reason I infiltrated the Red Soil School, right?”
“What do I care about that dilapidated college?”
“Brok? From what I see, the building is very magnificent.”
“That's just the outside of it.” Ling Chi turned around, facing towards me. “By the way, you should be proud to be able to speak with me four eyes, Luo Xiao.”
Proudly? What should I be proud of by talking four-eyes with a mixed human race like you? Are you going to boast of yourself having dragon blood or something?
“Do you not know, Luo Xiao? I am the King of the Land. Be proud of it.”
“Wah .. great, I can talk to the Mainland King.”
“You really said it sincerely!”
Very sincere, to the point that my tone is flat when I say it. After all, what business does a Mainland King have with an orphan boy like this ‘Luo Xiao’? Are you short of work?
“My great-grandfather? Was he such an important person that a Mainland King had to persuade me to save him?”
Ling Chi smiled faintly, then shook his head. “I think I mispronounced.” He was silent for a moment. “I mean, do you want to save your closest friend with me, Master?”
This aura! Not to be mistaken anymore, she must be, “Chi Ling?!”
“You are so slow to realize, Master. Is it because you're so old?”
“Your mouth is still as rotten as it used to be!”
“Although so, I still am your best student, you know ...”
“I'm a little disappointed because finally my best student even became a part of the lowly race!”
“Hahaha.”
Chi Ling really surprised me. However, I was happy to meet him in this life, even though I did not expect him to be now part of the mixed human race and become the King of the Land.
“So, Chi Ling, why did you bring me here? Is it just to show off? And since when did you know I have reincarnated into this little boy?”
“Guru ..., you searched me with many questions at once.” Chi Ling exhaled a long breath. “I'll explain it briefly. As the Mainland King, Master must know I have unique abilities, right?”
“Sure. I also had it.”
“Basically, I accidentally detected the whereabouts of your soul. Then, I sent Mu Lan to investigate you secretly. And the second Selection of Red Soil College is the best way to do it.”
“So you're basically stalking me?”
“I'll just stalk my teacher who went down to become a stalker.”
“Hei! Take care of that foul mouth of yours, you rotten disciple!”
“Hahaha. I was just kidding.” Chi Ling then immediately returned to the original topic. “I brought me here because I wanted the teacher to know that Ling Chen was still alive, but he was taken captive by the gods.”
“Enabled by the gods? Whatchu mean? Wasn't he supposed to be a Mainland King in place of me he had killed?”
Chi Ling lowered her head. “The reality is that he has indeed been detained by the gods after becoming the King of the Land. And what does the teacher know, the funny thing I found?”
“Huh? Are you looking to add to your story with a little comedy?”
Chi Ling shook her head. “Not. I mean, Ling Chen actually loved you so much that he was willing to pretend to be a traitor and kill you in order to replace you.”
“I still don't understand ...”
“When I was about to take revenge on Ling Chen, I discovered the fact that the gods did not want humans to become even stronger. They don't want anyone as strong as you anymore, Guru.”
“Then?”
“The gods decided to destroy you in space without time. However, since Ling Chen had already killed you, they changed targets to Ling Chen. And, the dark age began, where the Pure Human Race was suppressed all out by the gods, then the Qi Lin Human Race, Dragons, and the others came to power.”
