C13 – Green Mountain Sect
“Everyone has a love for beauty; who could be the exception?”
Jiaang Lin’s statement momentarily baffled Qiu Xiya, but she quickly burst into laughter, remarking, “You’re quite the character—far more entertaining than these stiff folks!”
As she spoke, Qiu Xiya spat disdainfully, as if she had nothing but contempt for the villagers.
Qiu Xiya dashed out the door, calling over her shoulder, “You’re too intriguing for me to just let you go! I’m going to negotiate with the elders!”
She vanished like a breeze. Jiaang Lin, holding a steamed bun, mused aloud, “You’re off to discuss things without even knowing if I want to stay?”
But then he chuckled, adding, “Though, with a beauty like you around, I’d be reluctant to leave.”
He laughed once more, but the laughter quickly turned into a violent coughing fit, and he choked.
As Jiaang Lin coughed, the chopsticks he was holding flew from his grasp and clattered to the ground.
Congratulations, host, you’ve mastered a new skill: Throwing!
“Could it be that the old lady has found me?”
Jiaang Lin stepped out the door and saw a crowd of villagers gathered at the village entrance. He hurried over to join them.
“Hey! I’ve already told you time and again that the Green Mountain Sect has suffered many losses protecting your village from demonic beasts and bandits. And all you offer in return each month is this meager tribute. Do you think the Green Mountain Sect is begging for scraps?”
As Jiaang Lin reached the village entrance, he witnessed a richly dressed young man pointing at an elder and berating him loudly.
Surrounding the young man were four other youths, making a group of three men and two women, all exuding an air of superiority. They wore matching outfits, with the only difference being that the young women’s attire included skirts.
The mention of the Green Mountain Sect triggered a mental image of the Cloud City map in Jiaang Lin’s mind, and he quickly grasped the significance of the sect.
The Green Mountain Sect was the most prominent sect near North Mountain Village, yet it was merely one of the smaller sects within the Thunder Sword Sect’s domain. Nevertheless, to the people of these humble villages, even a single disciple from the Green Mountain Sect was viewed as a celestial being gracing the earth.
