“Those eyes…”
It was rare for Xu Ming to remember a pair of eyes so clearly.
That night, Xu Ming had saved a village from bandits, but was instead met with the entire village’s disdain and blame; this made Xu Ming deeply feel the indifference of the world.
However, a “thank you” from a pair of innocent black eyes in the darkness had rekindled warmth in Xu Ming.
“It’s those black eyes!”
Only then did Xu Ming look at the owner of the eyes—sure enough, it was a boy of eleven or twelve years old, with a familiar look between his brows.
The boy also recognized Xu Ming at this time.
His impression of Xu Ming was definitely deeper than Xu Ming’s impression of him.
“Big brother?” the boy called out weakly, without confidence.
“To meet an ordinary person, with whom I should have had no intersection, twice, it can be considered fate!” Xu Ming sighed, “Come with me!”
A slave like the boy, who had neither strength nor martial power, and couldn't even be a maid, was undoubtedly the cheapest in the slave market.
Xu Ming casually tossed down some gold and bought him.
“How did you end up here?” Xu Ming asked.
The boy said somewhat cautiously and fearfully, “The bandits you drove away that day came to our village again a few days later… This time, the village scraped together enough money to ensure peace.
However, everyone seemed to dislike me, and they insisted on stuffing me to the bandits to sell as a slave!”
“How could this be?” Xu Ming looked surprised, “Just because you said ‘thank you’ to me?”
“I don’t know…” How could a boy of eleven or twelve years old understand so much, “But the people in the village have always disliked me because I’m an orphan, and everyone calls me a jinx…”
“Orphan?” A trace of suspicion flashed through Xu Ming’s eyes, but he didn’t ask further.
“Then what are you going to do next? Do you want to go home?” Although Xu Ming had redeemed the boy from the slave owner, it was definitely inconvenient to take him along.
“Go home?” A trace of confusion flashed across the boy’s face.
Where did he still have a home… If the people in his village really treated him as family, they wouldn’t have deliberately stuffed him to the bandits to sell as a slave.
If the boy went back, it might be even worse.
If the boy wanted to learn martial arts, although Xu Ming couldn’t bring him into the Barbaric Sect, he could find him a martial academy in Barbaric City.
As long as Xu Ming spoke, the ordinary martial academies in Barbaric City would definitely give him face.
“Learn martial arts?” The boy shook his head, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, “I want to… study!”
After saying these words, the boy couldn't help but blush.
In this world, “wanting to study” was a very shameful thing!
Because…
What’s the use of studying!
What’s the use of being full of poetry and books!
Any martial artist could slap you away!
“Uh…” Xu Ming was also hearing for the first time in this world that someone wanted to study.
In this world, martial arts were supreme, and fists crushed everything.
Whether it was a mortal kingdom like Flying Cloud Kingdom or a sect force like Barbaric Sect, they didn’t recruit “literati”!
Therefore, studying… was useless!
Only those with very, very poor martial arts talent, who had difficulty cultivating to the Second or Third Stage of Outer Refinement, or girls, would be sent to study!
“Want to study?” Xu Ming repeated.
The boy also felt somewhat ashamed, after all, as a person of this world, he was naturally deeply influenced by the world’s concepts of honor and disgrace.
However, he still nodded firmly: “Yes, I want to study!”
“Okay, then I’ll find you an academy.” This was even more effortless for Xu Ming.
Since they had a connection, he might as well help a little, just to form a good relationship.
However, Xu Ming wasn’t sure which academy in Barbaric City was the best.
After thinking about it, Xu Ming took out the communication talisman.
“Number Two!” Xu Ming transmitted his voice.
On the other end of the transmission… Number Two was surrounded by more than a dozen charming female disciples from the Outer Sect.
Although these dozen female disciples were only Outer Sect disciples and their status was relatively humble within the Barbaric Sect; if they were placed outside the Barbaric Sect, they would definitely be at the level of fairies and goddesses!
Although Number Two was an Inner Sect disciple, he was actually very ordinary in the Inner Sect, so he shouldn’t have been qualified to enjoy this kind of “surrounded by orioles” beautiful affair.
But…
“My relationship with Brother Ming? Need you even ask! You guys don’t even bother to ask around in the Inner Sect, I, Number Two, am definitely Brother Ming’s most loyal lackey!”
“Really?” The orioles and swallows’ eyes were shining.
“Brother Erhao?”
“Brother Erhao?” Number Two was furious, “Can you be more respectful? What do you mean ‘Brother Erhao’? What do you mean ‘Brother Erhao’! Huh!?”
The dozen or so female Outer Sect disciples all looked at each other, not knowing why Number Two was suddenly angry.
At this time, Number Two said earnestly, “Call me ‘Number Two’! Don’t call me ‘Erhao’! Please be more respectful, pay attention to the pronunciation, don’t be so frivolous, okay?”
“Uh…” The Outer Sect female disciples were speechless—they didn’t know how good the relationship between Number Two and Xu Ming was; but one thing they were sure of was that Number Two was really Xu Ming’s loyal lackey to the point of being brain-dead…
Number Two continued, “See this half of my face on the left?”
“See it?”
“What’s wrong?”
The female disciples were all puzzled.
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!
“Hmph! This half of my face was once slapped by Brother Ming’s palm!—Brother Ming’s palm, how can you take it if you want to? Let me list for you some of the people who have been slapped by Brother Ming! For example, Chi Jishang…”
“Stop, stop, stop! We all know these things!” The orioles and swallows said, “We just want to know, Brother Number Two, do you often run into Brother Ming?”
“Of course!” Number Two boasted, “What kind of relationship do I have with Brother Ming!”
“That’s great!” The orioles and swallows immediately each handed over a delicate and beautiful letter.
“Brother Number Two, please help me give it to Brother Ming!”
“Brother Number Two, give mine first… Please!” A pair of innocent and charming big eyes.
“Brother Number Two, don’t help them, just give mine! After it’s done, I promise to introduce you to my little sisters!”
“Uh…” Only then did Number Two realize why this group of Outer Sect female disciples were surrounding him—it turned out they wanted to use him to deliver love letters!
“I can help you forward the things, but, Brother Ming is focused on martial arts, I’m afraid he’s not interested in these things…” Just then, Number Two suddenly received a message.
“Huh? It’s Brother Ming!” Number Two immediately stood up.
“Brother Ming, what are your orders?” Number Two was on high alert.
“Is that Brother Ming?” The orioles and swallows were also excited.
“On the other end of the transmission, is that Brother Ming?”
“Number Two, can you let me say a word to Brother Ming?”
“Yes, Number Two, I really want to say a word to Xu Ming, even if it’s just one word!”
Number Two glared at them, signaling not to joke around, such an important thing as communicating with Brother Ming, what are you guys messing around for?
“Number Two, come to the black market in Barbaric City, I need you for something!”
“Okay, I’ll be right there!” Number Two circulated his entire body’s Profound Qi and burst forth at full speed, and with a “swoosh” he rushed down Barbaric Mountain.
“Hey! Brother Number Two!”
“Number Two, don’t rush away, take us with you!” The Outer Sect female disciples all chased after him.
“Wait for us!”
“It’s okay if you don’t take us to see Brother Ming, just help me bring the letter to Brother Ming!”
However, how could Number Two, who had burst forth at full speed, be caught up by these Outer Sect female disciples?
In a flash, Number Two disappeared at the end of their vision.
