The True Martial Wolrd

chapter 8

The light source came from the wooden box, which meant the bones were silent!

Yi Yun broke out in cold sweat at this unexpected turn of events.

The desolate bones emitted a hint of light, which flew towards him. How could Lian Chengyu not investigate this phenomenon?

With more and more points of light, it became too obvious. He will be found!

The moment it was investigated, he could only explain it with his life!

Yun-er, what's wrong with you? Why is your forehead full of sweat?

Brother Xiaorou, you Yi Yun saw many light spots flying, but Jiang Xiaorou seemed to be unaware of it. “Sister Xiaorou, you didn't see anything?”

Yi Yun asked with a guilty feeling. He realized that other than Jiang Xiaorou, the surrounding people did not seem to notice the light spots.

“See what? Yun-er, are you sick? Jiang Xiaorou asked with concern. Yi Yun's body was weak and he had just been resurrected the previous day. It would be bad if he got sick again.

“Eh ..” Yi Yun paused for a moment before sighing in relief. Seems like only he can see the dots of light?

Could it be that only the owner of the Purple Crystal could see the strange happenings of the Purple Crystal?

He glanced silently at Lian Chengyu who still had a calm smile on his face. Lian Chengyu would occasionally look at the desolate bone box with a bead look in his eyes!

The man did not notice the light spots

With that, Yi Yun relaxed. If even Lian Chengyu could not see it, then there was no one other than himself.

Yi Yun was increasingly convinced that the Purple Crystal was an incredible treasure!

At this moment, Lian Chengyu turned his gaze towards her with a meaningful smile.

He walked forward and stood in front of Jiang Xiaorou.

Food is a gift for you. Take it and don't starve yourself. If that's not enough, let's find me. Lian Chengyu said those words softly. His voice was pleasant, but his expression and tone of voice were one of the hallmarks. For whatever he gives, he can take it back.

Jiang Xiaorou remained silent. Lian Chengyu did not mind as he admired her for being stubborn when the rations were distributed. That doesn't mean that he likes his stubborn attitude towards her and is determined to slowly rub her until she's obedient like a kitten.

All she wanted was an obedient servant girl, not a woman who needed to be persuaded.

With a brother by her side, she had something to hold onto and remained steadfast. This was not what Lian Chengyu wanted. Moreover, Yi Yun's mother adopted him, and they had no blood relation. Lian Chengyu disliked the fact that bloodless siblings lived together.

Furthermore, Yi Yun had stirred up the crowd, and had almost caused a commotion. He took heart that a twelve-year-old child could be so cunning. He will be a threat as an adult.

What Lian Chengyu wanted were obedient people, as his stepping stone, and not cunning people like Yi Yun who were hard to control.

As the desolate bones would be refined, it was a huge problem for Lian Chengyu. He was willing to pay whatever the price was to succeed.

He did not want any uncertainty, as he would seclude himself for training. Moreover, desolate bones had problems, fixing them would lead to death!

With food shortages and people dying, it was easy to spark public outrage. He feared rebellion when he was exiled. They could flip the cauldron where the desolate bones were being refined. If his plan was destroyed, killing them all would be useless.

From Lian Chengyu's point of view, Yi Yun hated him, and had no fear or respect for him.

Yi Yun already had a record of inciting chaos. If Yi Yun took revenge while inciting people due to the hunger and death that isolated him, Yi Yun could be the spark that spelled disaster.

Thinking of this, Lian Chengyu smiled again and patted Yi Yun's shoulder gently once more.

Yi Yun's heart skipped a beat, but before he could react, Lian Chengyu's hand was already on his shoulder.

Fuck those! Yi Yun wished he could cut off Lian Chengyu's hand. He felt Lian Chengyu was as evil as a poisonous snake!

Lian Chengyu said coldly, What makes you nervous, are you afraid of me? You and your sister are not easy to do. Watch brother.

Saying that, Lian Chengyu withdrew his hand as Yi Yun felt that numbness again.

Lian Chengyu had patted her shoulder twice, but she could do nothing.

If there is a problem, look for me, Lian Chengyu told Jiang Xiaorou. He's always smiling. Yi Yun frowned as he sensed that Lian Chengyu had a crush on his sister.

It has to be that. No wonder he gave so much food, if not for his desire towards Jiang Xiaorou. There is no reason to give away valuable food.

The thing about approaching him if there was a problem explaining his thoughts. If Jiang Xiaorou went to him, indescribable things would definitely happen.

The moment it was sealed, Yi Yun felt a disconnect between the Purple Crystal he had and the desolate bones. The floating points of light also disappeared shortly.

“This ..” Something came to Yi Yun's mind as he saw the members of the warrior preparation camp carrying those desolate bones.

“Yun-er, what's on your mind?” On the way home, Jiang Xiaorou sensed that Yi Yun was not paying attention and frowned.

Yi Yun could not be free from the venomous snake like Lian Chengyu who patted him on the shoulder twice. It is unknown what was done. Yi Yun did not tell Jiang Xiaorou, as he did not want her to worry. Also, he was young and would not be able to see Lian Chengyu's wolf in sheep's clothing.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiaorou suddenly said, Yun-er, that Lian Chengyu, you should be careful with him. Try to avoid it if possible.

Jiang Xiaorou's words surprised Yi Yun for a while. He didn't expect him to have such keen intuition.

In fact, Lian Chengyu's behavior was not to blame on the surface. He was a Young Master who cared about his people, a friendly and respected tribal clan leader.

Yi Yun could feel the underlying motive of Lian Chengyu because he had seen the actions of some politicians from Earth. People like Lian Chengyu can be found in history books and international news. Yi Yun could only feel hypocrisy when he heard Lian Chengyu's words. This insight is not something that the suffering poor can achieve.

To Yi Yun, the two claps of Lian Chengyu on his shoulders clearly showed his hostility.

Yi Yun was confused that Jiang Xiaorou could feel it as well.

“Anyway, just avoid him.” Hearing Jiang Xiaorou's resolute words, Yi Yun realized that he did not fully understand this sister of his.

Be it secluded bones, secluded monsters and her intuition, including her extreme beauty compared to other tribal girls made her stand out in the unfortunate tribal clan

As expected by Yi Yun, the dinner consisted of wild vegetables and porridge.

In this world, people only eat twice. The usual days start at 5am before they have breakfast at 9am. Of course, breakfast was just the way Yi Yun called it; they had different names for it here. Finally dinner was eaten at 4 p.m.

Yi Yun understood that in ancient China, people only ate twice, like in this strange world. In situations with scarce resources, eating twice a day may be the most scientific and optimal for survival.

While eating, Jiang Xiaorou felt somewhat guilty because she had not managed to obtain meat for her brother.

Yi Yun did not take heart, as he was busy thinking about the two claps on his shoulder. It was all speculation and suspicion on his part; he had no idea how serious it would be.

After finishing the bowl of wheat porridge, just as Yi Yun was about to eat some mouthfuls of wild vegetables, he felt his arms go numb and dropped his chopsticks.

Yun-er, you

Yi Yun grumbled as his left hand could no longer move. Both of his arms hurt, like someone broke them!

Yun-er! Jiang Xiaorou's face turned pale, she did not know what had happened to Yi Yun and quickly helped him into bed.

Damnit damnit!

Yi Yun's arm was filled with pain as he gritted his teeth. Without question, this was the work of Lian Chengyu. Yi Yun did not guess wrongly!

It was unknown what method Lian Chengyu used, but with the difference in strength, even if Yi Yun sensed Lian Chengyu's hostility, he had no way of avoiding it.

It is the law of the jungle in which the strong determine the fate of the weak.

Yun-er, how are you? Is this a side effect of your downfall while picking herbs?

“I ...” When Yi Yun opened his mouth, he realized his tongue was numb. He experienced a gradual increase in paralysis throughout his body.

Yi Yun began to realize that the moment he lost all feeling in his body was the moment of his death!

Lian Chengyu wanted his life?

Yi Yun was shocked and angry. If he had not guessed wrongly, Lian Chengyu had sent out some form of energy like “Ki” or “Qi” which had destroyed his meridians!

A normal twelve year old child would not be able to figure it out. Even Yi Yun himself would have thought it was a side effect of his old wounds.

After his death, other than Jiang Xiaorou, no one would grieve for him. In fact, many thought he was destined to be how could the dead suddenly come back to life?

By killing Yi Yun mysteriously, Lian Chengyu would not only take revenge for the incitement of the crowd, but also receive goodwill from the people.

Jiang Xiaorou would be in a miserable situation, and suffer the next hardship in life. He could even get close to Lian Chengyu. Lian Chengyu could then obtain it easily by using conciliation tactics!

Killing Yi Yun and obtaining Jiang Xiaorou, what a venomous plan!

Yi Yun gained a deeper understanding of this world. This is not a legitimate society on Earth. It was a brutal and primitive place where power determined everything. It was like an apocryphal world in a novel where killing someone was nothing …
