Chapter 84 - 31.2 - Dont want to learn here! Its filled with bad guys! (1/2)

The face of the arrogant student turned white and he started to sweat. Li Xinwen saw this and felt that he had shown enough to scare the poor young cultivator. ”I am a simple man. As long as you don't cross with me, I won't retaliate,” Li Xinwen said with a smile.

Unfortunately, some people, even when given leniency, did not appreciate it.

”You dared to destroy the school gate? See if the elder will let you off, ah!”

As if on cue, a middle-aged looking man came out of the main residence. He was dressed in a black martial art garb, and there was a hint of white on his black hair. Seeing this man, the group of students collectively gave him a salute.

”Greetings to the Master,” they all said at the same time as if this was how they normally greet the older man.

”En. You lot go on inside first,” the middle-aged man replied.

Hearing this, the group of students finally moved but for the arrogant one, he did not forget to shot Li Xinwen a smirk. ”Ha! Looks like Master has came out to deal with you personally! Don't go regretting now!”

Li Xinwen frowned, eyes narrowing at the arrogant student who then quickly scurried away in fear. Only after the students are all inside the training hall did Li Xinwen turn his attention to the middle-aged man. In fact, ever since the middle-aged man came out, Li Xinwen could feel the aura of a mid-4th stage Houtian practitioner. Fortunately, Li Xinwen was a peak 4th stage Houtian or else, he might end up being suppressed by now.

”Are you the one who destroyed the gate?” the man asked. ”How will you compensate for the damage?”

”Isn't it just repairing the gate? Just tell me how much you need, I will pay them,” Xue Rui said while he habitually took out a cheque book.

”You fool! You think money is enough to compensate for our gate?” the man asked. ”Xue Jun, I know you're there! I am already here and you are still not coming out to greet me?!”

At this, Xue Jun finally came forward and gave the other man a respectful salute. ”Xue Jun greets senior martial brother.”

”Hmph! After coming back from your mission, you didn't even come and visit us once. Did you already forget about master?”

Xue Jun who was reprimanded can only lower his head and stayed silent. After all, he did not have any valid excuse to give to the other man.

”And then when you finally decided to come back, you brought these trouble makers? One is your brother, the other is some random cultivator and the last one...” his word trailed off when his eyes landed on Sun Xiao. His eyes narrowed at Sun Xiao, making the younger boy fidget nervously. ” Zhuo Yang body type...” he murmured in disbelief while his eyes shone with greed.

Then, the middle-aged man raised a foot up and take a step forward. But Li Xinwen noticed the spiritual energies around the man had changed so he quickly went to Sun Xiao's side. As soon as he arrived, he pulled Sun Xiao close to his body while he used his other hand to grab the middle-aged man's wrist, stopping the other from touching Sun Xiao.

”What are you planning to do?” Li Xinwen asked, his eyes held a dangerous glint as he released the full aura of the peak 4th stage of Houtian.

The middle-aged man was suddenly surprised by this turn of event and he quickly pulled away, taking several steps back. ”So you were hiding your strength?” the man sneered.

”You didn't answer my question... what were you planning to do?” Li Xinwen asked once more. The temperature around them started to drop as Li Xinwen continued to suppress the middle-aged man. Soon, the temperature was cold enough that one could even see their own breath.

Surprisingly, Sun Xiao who was beside Li Xinwen wasn't affected by the cold temperature. He only gave a confused expression as he watched how the middle-aged man before them seemed to have a troubled expression. He also could see how Xue Rui and Xue Jun seemed cold.

”Xin- gege , what's wrong with them?” Sun Xiao asked Li Xinwen as he looked up to him, only to have his head being pushed back down to the other's chest.

”It's nothing. Ah 'Xiao doesn't have to worry,” Li Xinwen said in a gentle tone, a tone that is vastly different from his current cold expression.

The temperature continued to fall and in the end, Xue Rui felt that he was going to be frozen to death. Just as he felt that he was about to pass out from the cold, he felt a strong force wrapped around him and he was dragged away from the area. Turning his head, he could see his elder brother, with a grim expression on his face.
