64.78% To Rise Again in the Apocalypse [BL] / Chapter 85: Chapter 31.3 - This old man is not a bad guy ah!

Chapter 85: Chapter 31.3 - This old man is not a bad guy ah!

Hearing the young boy's tone and exclaim, if Min Shaotian was still able to strike, then he is not human, ah! Especially, when he looked at the boy and those clear, innocent eyes are glaring at him like he's truly the bad guy. 'This boy has a good constitution... a pure Zhuo Yang body type. If this man is really a demonic cultivator, then this boy should have long been dead,' at this thought, Min Shaotian quickly sheathed his blade.

'On the other hand, its no wonder Jingguo would dare to offend this man, his cultivation has been stagnating for ten years now. He must've been anxious. Too anxious to the point that he didn't realize his tail is showing up.'

"Chen Jingguo, you go in and start the training of those students in the training hall first," Min Shaotian said as he dismissed the man who tried to act against Sun Xiao.

The man, Chen Jingguo, looked reluctant and his eyes lingered at Sun Xiao. But in the end, he knew that he won't be able to beat Li Xinwen in the first place so he simply gave up. 'There will be plenty of chances in the future,' he thought as he saluted Min Shaotian and walked toward the training hall.

Once Chen Jingguo left, Min Shaotian's attention returned to Li Xinwen. "This... how to say this... It seems that I was quick to judge and end up misunderstanding something. But as a fellow cultivator, you must understand, right?"

"Of course, I understand it very clearly," Li Xinwen replied. "Earlier, your disciple whom you called Chen Jingguo tried to harm someone important to me. It is very understandable... after all, from his point of view, Ah'Xiao's body type is something he yearns for. You were suspicious of me, thinking that I cultivated the demonic path but, your own disciple cultivated the demonic path himself. Are you trying to show me how to slap yourself?"

"..." Min Shaotian who had accidentally dropped the huge stone he picked up on his own foot was unable to refute. "I... have an explanation for that. But this conversation isn't suitable to be discussed in the open like this," Min Shaotian let out a sigh. "Ah, where are my manners. First, I would like to apologize for the misunderstanding. It seems that you were brought by my disciple, Xue Jun. So how about we go inside first and discuss thing over with a cup of tea?"

"We're not supposed to follow strangers blindly," Sun Xiao speaks up just before Li Xinwen could agree. "Xin-gege, let's just go. Maybe big brother Min is not here and we got to a wrong place," Sun Xiao said as he looked up at Li Xinwen again.

"Big brother Min?" Min Shaotian who heard this suddenly have a look of understanding. "Are you perhaps the Mr. Li that my grandson told me about?" Min Shaotian asked Li Xinwen.

"Then are you Mr. Min Xiaoyu's grandfather?" Li Xinwen asked back.

"That is indeed me! Why did you not say so? Yuyu did say that you would be coming this weekend, and he was supposed to come over and welcome you. But when he cultivated last night, he managed to break through his bottleneck so now, he's trying to enter the 2nd stage," Min Shaotian replied.

"Xin-gege, don't believe him! He must be lying. Look at him, can someone young like him have a grandson as old as big brother Min?" Sun Xiao continued to glare at Min Shaotian, eyes full of suspicions.

When Li Xinwen heard this, the corner of his lips curved up into a smile. His hand reached up and rubs Sun Xiao's head, feeling proud of his little brother. 'Those talk of building up confidence these past few nights is really paying off. He already dared to refute someone. At this rate, what happened to Ah'Xiao in Hua-jie's past won't happen again.'

Faced with Sun Xiao's rebuke, Min Shaotian could only show a helpless expression. If he could, he would summon his grandson over to dispell their suspicion on him, but alas, he can't bother his grandson while he's breaking through. "Alright, alright. This old man was wrong," Min Shaotian said. "Young man, the martial art that I practice is different from the secular world's martial arts. Here, let me show you."

Min Shaotian waved his hand and a wind blade appeared, moving at a fast speed towards a nearby tree. The tree was mercilessly cut down by the sharp wind blade and it fell down to the ground with a loud sound.

"See? Aren't I amazing? At higher rank, you can even retain your young look! Don't see that I look young, my age might actually be three times your brother!"

'I'm older than you think. Unless you truly want to say you're a thousand years old ancient,' Li Xinwen thought in his head.

"My Xin-gege can also do that..." Sun Xiao mumbled in a soft voice. During their practice these past few nights, Li Xinwen had slowly shown him few amazing things that can be done once he started training martial arts so he wasn't really impressed with the wind blade. 'Plus, what is a tree compared to the big gate?' he wanted to say but decided to keep his mouth shut less the man in front of them decided to take advantage of the ruined gate.

As someone who has reached Xiantian stage, how can Min Xiaotian not hear what Sun Xiao had said? In the end, he can only let out a heavy, defeated sigh. "Do you really not want to learn from me? If you learn from me, I can help open up your twelve meridian gates and let you cultivate!"

"If it is something you can do, I'm sure that my Xin-gege can do it also," Sun Xiao replied. "Right?" at this, Sun Xiao once again looked up to Li Xinwen, silently asking the man to agree with him.

Unfortunately this time, Li Xinwen just shook his head. "Ah'Xiao, to help open your twelve meridian gates, someone has to inject their spiritual energy and guide them through your meridians. This process has to be done in one go without stopping in the middle so it will take quite a while. You have a pure Yang type body called Zhuo Yang, but Ge's body type is that of Yin constitution. If I inject my spiritual energy through your meridians, it will only cause you more harm than good. In fact, I may end up damaging your meridians," Li Xinwen explained.

"That's right!" Min Shaotian joined in. "Of course, you can also try to open your gate on your own. But it will take a long time. And you will also have to do them slowly, one by one."

"Then, how long did Xin-gege take?"

"Two years."

Li Xinwen didn't lie. He did spend two years in his last life to build his foundation.

"Then... does Xin-gege suggest Ah'Xiao let him open the gates?" Sun Xiao asked. "But he tried to harm Xin-gege earlier. What if its a trap?"

Min Shaotian was once again shot while lying down by Sun Xiao's words. "Then how about this? If I have as much as little thought to cause any of you any harm, even a single hair will count, then let the heaven be the judge and sends down lightning to strike me."

Li Xinwen was surprised that Min Shaotian dared to make an oath. Seeing that the other is truly sincere, he only pats Sun Xiao's head. "Let's just go in and hear him out. Don't worry, if he tries anything, Gege will protect you," Li Xinwen smiled at Sun Xiao as he assured the young boy.

After finally managed to convince both Sun Xiao and Li Xinwen, Min Shaotian finally felt that he has redeemed himself. 'Now I just have to make sure to show the boy that laozi is not a bad guy!'

Chapter 86: Chapter 31.4 - As his guardian, I refuse.

Li Xinwen and Sun Xiao followed Min Shaotian, and when they got closer to Xue Jun and Xue Rui, only then did Li Xinwen remembered about them. Looking at Xue Rui's figure, he suddenly has a feeling of guilt. "Rui-ge, how are you feeling?" Li Xinwen asked. Though he does want to teach Xue Rui a lesson, he didn't plan it to be like this. He knew Xue Rui is only a mortal man so if he were to use his full strength, then that is simply bullying the weak. That was not Li Xinwen's nature.

"I'm okay. Just a bit cold," Xue Rui replied. "Xinwen, earlier..."

"I will explain later. I apologize for implicating you along, Rui-ge," Li Xinwen said.

"Don't worry about it," Xue Rui smiled at Li Xinwen.

"What do you mean don't worry? If I didn't save you earlier and brought you out, you would've been frozen to death!" Xue Jun said angrily.

"First young master Xue is right. Rui-ge, I wasn't careful earlier. Tell me what you want I will make it up to you in later times," Li Xinwen agreed to what Xue Jun said and even offered to make it up to Xue Rui.

Of course, Xue Rui immediately decided to take advantage of this matter. "Then, how about a kiss? Your kiss will surely warm me up!"

"... Think again and tell me later," Li Xinwen said as he turned to walk away.

"Idiot," Xue Jun muttered under his breath as he watched his younger brother act like a fool.

"Ah, Xinwen, wait!" Xue Rui quickly rushed over to Li Xinwen's side. "How about holding hands?" Xue Rui asked. "Holding hands should be fine, right?"

Li Xinwen thought for a while before he held out his hand for the other to hold. "Only until we get inside," Li Xinwen told Xue Rui.

Xue Rui didn't dare to ask for more and he simply took Li Xinwen's hand in his. It may have only been a few days but for Xue Rui, it felt like an eternity since the last time he was this close to Li Xinwen.

Sun Xiao saw the two holding hands and his heart feels uncomfortable. Xue Jun was also the same, though he has mixed feelings about this scene. For one, he knew that person is not the Li Xinwen that he and his brother had fallen in love with, but it still feels like watching the one you love walk away with your brother.

"Xiao Rui... once you find out he's not who you think he is, I hope you won't be too heartbroken..." Xue Jun murmured in a soft voice before he finally followed the rest of the group.

Min Shaotian who was leading them naturally heard everything that was said. But since he has little understanding of what was happening, he didn't say anything lest he agitated the young man again. Sun Xiao is truly a rare find, and Min Shaotian truly wants the boy as his disciple. Although Xue Jun is one of his best disciples, in the end, the cultivation method that he has does not suit Xue Jun since Xue Jun leans more towards the Yin energy while all the cultivation method he has are only compatible with those who lean toward the Yang energy.

'It truly is a shame,' he lamented. 'But maybe this Mr Li can help him in his cultivation. After all, their body condition seems to be the same.'

They entered the main residence and were greeted by a middle-aged woman who was currently cleaning the entrance. "Ah, master. Are these four your guest?" the woman asked.

"En. Go and prepare the tea for us and deliver it to the eastern courtyard," Min Shaotian replied.

The woman bowed her head before she hurriedly walked away. Min Shaotian continued to lead them deeper into the residence until they reached another courtyard. When they stepped into the courtyard, Li Xinwen felt that he had entered a barrier. Not only that, the spiritual energy here is much denser than the outside, though compared to inside his dimension, it is still less pure.

"This is my private courtyard. No one is allowed here without permission," Min Shaotian told the rest. "Jun, this is also your first time here, right?"

"Yes," Xue Jun replied.

"En. Do you notice anything different?"

Xue Jun closed his eyes and began to feel around him. "There is more spiritual energies here."

"That's right. Now go into that room over there," Min Shaotian pointed at a door with his cane. "Inside you will see my grandson. Don't bother him but you can cultivate there without worrying about being disturbed. The rest of you, follow me."

Xue Jun separated from the group and went to the room that Min Shaotian had told him earlier. Li Xinwen and the rest continued to follow Min Shaotian to another room. This room was quite huge and there was a small wooden coffee table in the middle. Min Shaotian went over and took a seat near the coffee table before he gestured for them to sit at the opposite side. "Please have a seat."

Xue Rui took the lead and sits down near the end of the table, then he pulled Li Xinwen to sit down beside him. This action made Li Xinwen frown, but since he was still feeling a bit guilty for almost 'killing' Xue Rui earlier, he stays quiet and obediently sat down beside the male. Sun Xiao naturally sits down beside Li Xinwen's other side and finally, Min Shaotian speaks up again.

"I will get right to the point. I want the boy to be my direct disciple," Min Shaotian said with a serious tone.

"As his guardian, I refuse," came Li Xinwen's direct reply.

"Why? It would be beneficial if you let me train him."

"Chen Jingguo," Li Xinwen uttered only one name in reply and Min Shaotian immediately understood.

A heavy sigh escaped his lips before he massaged his temple. "Right, I should explain to you about that first... earlier, do you know why I thought you were a demonic cultivator?" Min Shaotian asked.

"Is it because Xue Jun told you I have only woken up from my comatose recently? And then my cultivation rose very quickly?" Li Xinwen asked back and Min Shaotian nods his head. Li Xinwen didn't say anything else and Min Shaotian waited for a while before finally asking.

"Are you not going to explain?"

"What is there to explain. I can only say my method is different than yours and it is very compatible with me, which is why my cultivation level can soar by leaps and bounds," Li Xinwen replied. "Now, back to the original discussion, Mr Min. Chen Jingguo. If you disliked demonic cultivator, why is he here?"

"Because I'm trying to smoke out the rest."

The reply was short, but it told Li Xinwen a lot. 'So, there are more cultivators in this world? And there seems to be a group of demonic cultivator too.'

"What I'm about to tell you, you must not speak of it anywhere else. If you do, your own life will end up being in danger," Min Shaotian said.

"Danger? Are you saying that someone will come to kill us?" Xue Rui asked. Though he had seen a lot of miraculous things today, it was still hard for him to accept it all in one day. After all, he was raised not to believe any nonsense, and only believe in science. Of course, after today, he would need to reorganize his thought and the way he sees the world will change.

"Killing you would be mercy by them. Rather than killing you, they will simply take your soul and refine them for their own use. Then, you will not be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation at all."

After the word was said, the room fell into complete silence. Sun Xiao appeared slightly fearful while Li Xinwen had a grim expression. He didn't know how strong the demonic cultivator is, so he wasn't sure if he could protect his family if they decided to come after them.

"Don't worry though. As long as you don't have anything of value to them, they won't come out to get you. That is, of course, as long as you keep your mouth shut," Min Shaotian who saw their grim expression decided to try and assure them. "It began around twenty years ago. At the time, my Yuyu was still just a little toddler, barely two years old. His father had just recently found a treasure. We didn't know what it does at first, so we simply took it back home. I called on my friends, and we researched it, but even after a long time, we still couldn't figure it out. Then one day, a friend of mine said he finally figured out on how to activate the treasure..."
