illicit relationship

Wu Lei and the others stopped walking. "What?!"

He and the others found it hard to believe what they were hearing because they had never heard of someone reaching the Master stage in just four years.

And because Xiao Tian could handle Huang Hu easily earlier, they believed Xiao Tian was a martial artist at the high-level master stage.

Four years to become a martial artist at the high-level master stage from an ordinary person was impossible. That was why they did not believe his words.

Like Wu Lei, Xing Juzong was also stunned.

Even though he had known Xiao Tian for several months, but they always discussed business whenever they were together.

Xiao Tian knew what they had in mind when he saw their expressions.

Did he care about it?

No!

He only told them the truth, so it was up to them whether they wanted to believe it or not.

He got nothing from it, so he did not care about it. He revealed the truth because he respected Wu Lei as his senior.

"Bullshit!" Huang Hu thought Xiao Tian was lying. "I have never heard of someone reaching the Master stage in just four years. You are lying to us, right?"

"It's up to you whether you want to believe it or not." Xiao Tian responded calmly.

Wu Lei and Tan Zemin exchanged a glance with each other.

'Is he a candidate to be the Ruler?'

That was the question that appeared in their minds.

At first, Wu Lei wanted to ask that question, but he changed his mind. "Alright. Let's continue walking."

Shortly after that, they reached his house. His house was located in the middle of the village.

Even though his house was made of wood, but it was nice and cozy. Actually, all the houses in the Solaris village were made of wood.

None of them used cement to build their homes because their village was far from a city.

No!

From their point of view, the function of the house was as a shelter and a place to sleep.

They never cared whether their homes were made of cement or wood. As long as the house was comfortable for them, they were fine with it.

As Xiao Tian, Xing Juzong, Wu Lei and Qiao Luli entered the house, Huang Hu and Tan Zemin stood outside, guarding the house.

They still did not believe Xiao Tian and Xing Juzong completely, so they decided to guard Wu Lei's house because, with this, they could protect him.

Xiao Tian and the others immediately sat on the wooden chairs after stepping into the living room.

Wu Lei looked at Xiao Tian and Xing Juzong. "Can you tell me everything in detail now?"

"It's like this, elder…." Xing Juzong began explaining everything in detail.

"I see." Wu Lei shifted his gaze to Qiao Luli. "How did they kidnap you?"

"They kidnapped me when I was looking for herb." Qiao Luli gave an honest answer.

"Did you go alone again?" Wu Lei threw another question.

"I'm sorry, grandpa." she apologized for causing trouble.

Wu Lei sighed.

He did not scold her because he loved her.

Sure, they were not related by blood, but she was still his granddaughter. "Remember. You have to go with a village guard if you want to pick up herbs."

"Thank you, grandpa!" she smiled happily and hugged her grandpa.

Xiao Tian and Xing Juzong knew that they had a good relationship just by looking at their behavior.

They continued talking again.

Wu Lei also asked Xing Juzong about his grandpa because it had been a long time since he met Xing Hanxian.

Without realizing it, they had been talking for about forty minutes.

At this moment, Qiao Luli wanted to take Xiao Tian and Xing Juzong to Kingstrie Lake, which was located behind their village.

"Grandpa, can I take big brother Qing and big brother Xing to Kingstrie Lake?" Qiao Luli inquired.

"Sure." Wu Lei agreed instantly.

"Kingstrie Lake?" Xiao Tian and Xing Juzong were startled when she suddenly wanted to take them to Kingstrie Lake.

Qiao Luli took Xiao Tian's and Xing Juzong's hands. "Big brothers, let's go."

Huang Hu and Tan Zemin were shocked when Qiao Luli came out of Wu Lei's house while holding Xiao Tian's and Xing Juzong's hands.

"Big brothers, Kingstrie Lake is a beautiful lake." Qiao Luli said happily. "I'm sure you will like it later."

"Kingstrie Lake?!" Tan Zemin and Huang Hu did not expect her to take Xiao Tian and Xing Juzong to Kingstrie Lake.

Shortly after that, Wu Lei came out of his house. Tan Zemin and Huang Hu immediately asked him why he did not stop Qiao Luli.

Wu Lei did not answer their questions and asked them to go to Kingstrie Lake with him, following Xiao Tian and the others in secret.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, Xiao Tian and the others arrived at Kingstrie Lake.

'What a beautiful lake!'

Xiao Tian and Xing Juzong were amazed by the beauty of the lake.

The lake was huge to the point they could not see its end from where they were. Not only was the lake beautiful, but the water was also clean.

There were also more than twenty islands in Kingstrie Lake. The islands were divided into big islands and small islands.

Some islands were close to each other, and even though the islands were in the lake, there were wild beasts living there.

"How is it, big brother Qing, big brother Xing?" Qiao Luli inquired.

"This lake is beautiful!" Xiao Tian and Xing Juzong answered in unison.

"This lake is important to us." she uttered, "Sometimes, we go fishing together in this lake."

"Oh, are there a lot of fish in this lake?" Xing Juzong uttered.

"There are lots of fish in this lake." She responded, "Not only that but there are many herbs on these islands. However, there are many wild beasts, so not everyone can go to these islands."

"Herb?" Xing Juzong was startled.

"Yes. Our village is far from the city, so we make our own medicine." She told Xiao Tian and Xing Juzong that they rarely went to the city.

Xiao Tian and Xing Juzong were even more amazed by the villagers because they could also make their own medicine.

At this moment, Wu Lei, Tan Zemin and Huang Hu were hiding between the bushes.

As they were paying attention to Xiao Tian and the others, two people from Sanlow village appeared not far from Xiao Tian.

"Village head, they are people from Sanlow village." Tan Zemin gripped his golden spear tightly.

Huang Hu and Wu Lei turned their heads toward the people from Sanlow village.

"Village head, we have to save Luli now." Huang Hu did not want something bad to happen to Qiao Luli, so he suggested that they saved her immediately.

However, Wu Lei stopped them. "Wait. This is a good opportunity to know if Xing Juzong and Qing Feng are on our side or not."

"But what if something bad happens to Luli?" Huang Hu uttered.

"Let's move closer to them so that we can save Luli if they want to hurt her." Wu Lei responded.

Tan Zemin and Huang Hu exchanged a glance with each other before finally nodding their heads.

The people from Sanlow village smirked when they caught sight of Qiao Luli.

'It's that kid.'

They walked toward Xiao Tian and the others with a grin on their faces.
