The Legend of the Guardians of the East Gate
Ch. 11

Xiao Ling was 13 years old, at least she already had no less than 40 drops of pure qi energy in her dantian, although her fighting technique was not very clever, however with such a huge energy it was easy for him to cast Liu Fang who was only able to have 8 drops of qi energy in his dantian.

"oh, miss Xiao also came, greetings" Liu Fang said and slightly pushed Xu Guang Zhou's body and turned so courteous.

"Liu Fang, just like you were having fun gnawing at a boy in the 4th level of the elementary realm, maybe I'll talk to your mother," Xiao Ling said with a visibly irritated face.

Liu Fang's face and ears turned red with anger, he was even a year older than Xiao Ling, despite first being at the intermediate Realm level, yet Xiao Ling had managed to surpass her one level this month.

"Damn it, this woman****** is stressing me with my mother around, this time I should avoid," Liu Fang's inner self, her feelings started to worry a little because her mother was so hard.

"Miss Xiao, please be heartened, this matter should we forget about it, I beg of you," said Liu Fang and quickly left the place without helping any of his friends who were still lying on the ground.

Everyone dispersed, and the three of them were now in a food stall near the Heaven Sword Sect, Xiao Ling smeared like a thick liquid onto the bruises on Zhi Yuan's face.

"sister Zhi, you better avoid them," Xu Guang Zhou said, his eyes still blankly staring at his half badge, and thinking of the woman who carried his badge earlier.

"this is really bad," Xu Guang Zhou muttered almost inaudibly.

A few disciples of the Sky Sword Sect flashed in the street where they were sitting, they seemed busy conversing about the few swords being sold at the end of the street.

Xiao Ling was still grappling with Zhi Yuan because the boy was always on the move when he was smeared with medicine.

"Did you hear your brother Zhou's words?" ask Xiao Ling

"Forget it big brother Ling, they are after me, I will serve them to play until they get bored, tomorrow I will reply them," said Zhi Yuan who looked like he had no burden at all.

"plakkk.." a punch landed on Zhi Yuan's head.

"They're not after you, you're the one who always comes to interfere with their business, if you fight again, I'll beat your duck's lips myself" Xiao Ling said with sagging eyes, while pulling a small bentolan on Zhi Yuan's upper lip.

Zhi Yuan threw Xiao Ling's hand and covered his lips with his fingers, and stared at Xu Guang Zhou like he was asking for help, making Xu Guang Zhou slightly awaken from his daydream about the woman who would be his future wife.

"aahhh, Ling's sister need not be angry, at least the troublemaker knows that there are troublemakers who are crazier than her, so we should order food, you know, this time I will pay for your favorite meal" Xu Guang Zhou said.

Xiao Ling smiled sweetly,

"you are indeed my most handsome brother," Xiao Ling said and grabbed Zhi Yuan's hair to sit near him.

"aahhhh, ladies needlessly, please let go, you will not have a husband like this," cried Zhi Yuan, but still Xiao Ling was still doing her, saying, like her the girl was already used to the harsh words from Zhi Yuan's mouth.

"what?I won't bother looking for a man, I'll drag you to marry me, do you understand" Xiao Ling said, it made Xu Guang Zhou smile only at the two companions who seemed to fight more often.

Time continued to roll, and now almost two years Zhi Yuan has worked as a servant, now his age is even 11 years, and that afternoon on the day of the dead moon, Zhi Yuan had to slightly run with the wooden bucket in his hands, his small steps were so light and entered the old Shrine on the cliff wall.

"i'm late, today is the month of death I should have come this morning, this is because the monk in the medicine kitchen has not returned for five days yet" Zhi Yuan said

The chill began to be felt as the temple door was opened, Zhi Yuan quickened his pace and took out a small bowl containing potions. his bowl was deliberately replaced by Zhi Yuan in order to get through the gap of the iron bars.

"you're late" said the man behind the bars.

"sorry elder, I-I have to sweep the front yard," Zhi Yuan told a lie.

"did they beat you again? you don't have to lie to me, how's your opponent doing?" ask that figure.

"Almost every day we fight elders, and I always lose because they gang up on me" Zhi Yuan said.

Suddenly white smoke choked Zhi Yuan's neck and stuck his face on those iron bars.

"you don't look for excuses, you lose because you're weak, don't blame others for cheating, blame yourself for being weak and not strategizing, I hope you understand what I'm saying" the figure said.

His wrinkled fingers touched the bruised marks on aunt Zhi Yuan, and also on her cheeks, the fingers were stopped in two small letters that lined up beautifully under her left eye.

"it's a breath seal, I know these two old letters, are you from that clan?" ask that figure.

"the old-timers forgive me, please let me go, I don't understand the old-timer's question," said Zhi Yuan who had a slight difficulty speaking because his neck was chuckled.

"just like you don't know your origins, if you're an adult I'll tell you a little bit about a monstrous clan with letters like this," said the figure and released the white smoke choking Zhi Yuan's neck, and his fingers took the bowl before him.

"good elder, but why is your body emitting a black dense smoke, I saw it from the beginning coming to this place, especially on the back, what is the elder sick?" asked Zhi Yuan, who as usual was crouching while holding the bars.

The hooded figure stopped his movements wanting to gulp down his potion, his eyes which were covered in thin mucus slightly moved staring towards Zhi Yuan.

"so that's why this brat doesn't smell foul in this place, he can see this curse raw," the figure's inner

"you're right my back is hurting" said the figure and sipped his bowl.

The figure's body trembled slightly, staggered and increasingly bowed, his breathing sounding stingy, sounding like boiling water.

"Aaaaakkhhhh...."
