31 Asking questions

"Then I shall call you Little brother Lin." Hou Ming said as he smiled towards Zhu Long. He took another sip of his tea as he waited for Zhu Long to speak. Hou Ming knew that Zhu Long had many questions so the only things he could do is wait for them to come and answer them all.

As expected by Hou Ming, Zhu Long indeed had various questions in his mind and was dying to ask them He looked towards Hou Ming in a stern and serious expression,"I guess I will ask the biggest question in my mind.. Who actually are you and your disciple? Because I'm sure that With your power and age, you would be from a large sect but are here in this unknown village."

Hou Ming's body shook when he heard Zhu Long's question. He had been expecting many types of questions from Zhu Long but nothing like this. He looked into Zhu Long's eyes searching for the mysteries that had also surrounded the boy in front of him but the only shook his head.

Hou Ming thought for a while and then answered slowly," This is a bit of a difficult question to answer so I have to Apologize to Little Brother Lin. Without authorization from the clan, I am not allowed to disclose my sect to anyone. But I'm sure that with Little Brother Lin's talent and power, You will get to know our sect very soon but until then, I hope that Little Brother doesn't mind..." He smiled and looked at Zhu Long with embarrassment in his face.

Zhu Long had a small smile on his face when he heard Hou Ming's explanation. 'I had a hunch that the teacher student combo were trying to hide their real identity especially due to the fact that even Elder Kong hadn't know much about the two, but it is still surprising to hear. I guess It's up to fate whether I know where they come from or not.' Zhu Long thought to himself.

Hou Ming's body shook more, his face was filled with astonishment,'This kid is really observant! But, that's wouldn't be a problem, in fact that is an advantage! Not even the geniuses in our sect are this smart. haha! I'm sure that my master will credit me very much when I tell him about this little genius!' Hou Ming thought to himself. Even though he was surprised, there was a hint of delight within his eyes. This boy in front of him would be a real prodigy in the future.

Hou Ming stopped praising Zhu Long in his mind and took another sip of his tea. He had to properly think of what to say and explain his situation. He thought for a few seconds and finally opened his mouth,"Little brother Lin is asking really big questions. But unlike the previous question, I think that I can answer this question. Many disciple of my sect have been tasked to observe a specific area in search of a particular demon. Although I don't know much about this demon, what I do know is that his auscultation used to be very high but was injured in a battle with our patriarch and is not in hiding. We have been tasked with searching for his traces, thus the reason that I am here."Trying not to miss any important points, Hou Ming explained his current situation to Zhu Long.

Zhu Long was very surprised when he heard Hou Ming.'Looking at Hou Ming's strength, he must be from a rather large sect considering that fact that he called himself a disciple. It seems like his sect could be as powerful or maybe even more powerful than the Zhu Clan.' Zhu Long tried to guess Hou Ming's identity. He then shook his head,'I may be thinking too much. Since it is a secret, there may be a reason for that being so. I guess I'll find out when the time is right'

"Senior Brother Hou, I guess you might have already know this but on the way here, I found that there were two demon parties involved in the Qiang Village. If i had to make a guess, I would say that the second party is related to the Individual that you were talking about." Zhu Long told Hou Ming about everything that the Leader of the Demon scouts had told him.

Hou Ming seemed to be unaffected by Zhu Long's words. It seemed like he had already guess that."That is is reason why me and my disciple have stayed here longer. I've even called for some reinforcements just in case. They will arrive here in a few days." Hou Ming told Zhu Long calmly.

After hearing Hou Ming, Zhu Long smiled,"I guess those were the most important questions that I in my mind but I do have a few others."

"Little Brother Lin may ask as many questions as his heart desires." Hou Ming answered kindly.

"I was curious about what the pill that Senior Brother Hou Ming was so dedicated on making was? I mean if it took so much dedication and time for a Void Stage cultivator to make then I'm sure that the pill has some special effect to it, right?" Zhu Long seemed to be very curious about the pill that Hou Ming had recently created. When ZHu Long had entered Hou Ming's room, he had felt a very strong and brutal aura from the cauldron and was sure that the aura was related to the pill that Hou Ming had recently concocted.

Hou Ming looked at Zhu Long with an excited expression and answered,"hehe, I was waiting for Little Brother to ask me questions like this. Although i really want to answer that question, I will not. But don't worry, by observing the situation of the Qiang village, I'm sure that a huge battle will commence and this pill will come in use. But I do hope that the battle won't go that direction. Even though this pill has huge merits, It also has a huge disadvantage and can seriously injure those who ingest it. So, I will only allow this pill to be in use when the situation calls for it."Although he was very excited to tell Zhu Long about the use of the pill, when he remembered the side effect of it, Hou Ming's face became grave and serious.

Zhu Long nodded,"It seems like this pill may have the power to enhance one's power or abilities for a short time but the side effect for doing so will harm their body, maybe even damaging their meridians." It seemed like Hou Ming didn't even need to tell Zhu Long about the effects of this pill. Just that much information was enough for him to guess the power of the pill.

Hou Ming's face was left wide opened due to the fact that Zhu Long had guessed correctly about the power of the pill but there was a bit of sadness in his heart as he wanted to keep the effects of the pill a mystery, possibly making Zhu Long try to guess it but fail anyway. But the harsh truth of the matter was that Zhu Long had correctly guessed the effects 'There was no reason in keeping this pill's usage hidden from Little brother Lin other than to have some fun but I guess that he is a bit too smart to try to fool but it was still worth a try.' Hou Ming sighed internally. He only wanted to have some fun but it was only in vain.

Zhu Long hadn't seen Hou Ming's disappointing face as he was more focused on thinking,'According to what Senior Brother Hou Ming says, the tension between the Qiang Village and the demon army is increasing and will lead to a battle. I'm sure that the Village head will also be involved in this battle. So my next move should be contacting the Village head. It's a bit disappointing as i was originally heading towards this mansion in search of the Village head but met Ku Wang and his teacher.' Zhu Long thought to himself. He looked towards the sad Hou Ming and said,"Could Senior Brother Ming tell me about the Village Head of the Qiang Village?"
