"good afternoon sister Hui Ying, looking as pretty as ever!" Xue Lin praised
"i don't think so, i'm sure you will be prettier than i am, when you grew up" Hui Ying bends over and pinched Xiu Ying cheeks
"hehehe" Xui Ying giggles.
"so who is this boy?"Hui Ying asked after seeing the boy that is wearing ragged clothes, while holding a bundled of firefood in his back.
"his big brother Wang Li Jie, father told me to let him pick a cultivation manual for him" Xui Ying answered.

"miss Hui Ying , what do you think are the kind of skills that you can recommend for my muscles " a cultivator said showing off his body ask in a distance.
Li Jie turn his head to the cultivators in the first floor, he can't help to but think that they're must be some bunch of idiots, because of how they are acting rigth now.
"Sister Hui Ying sure is popular!, did you know that after father assigned her to be the sales representative of the Manual and scroll pavilion our sales suddenly increased" Xiu Ling said as they walk to higher floor.
"i can see why" Li Jie answered,
after they reached the 5th floor Xiu Ying said " this is where our finest cultivation manuals and skill scrolls are kept and also it was guarded by that elder"Xiu Ying pointed an old man behind the counter that is drinking sake. he got a head full of white hairs, and a long white beard.
he looks like a typical old man because of the clothes he's wearing, but the profound ligth coming from his eyes will make you think otherwise.
"Elder Dan Zu, i have my father consent, to pick a cultivation manual for big brother Li Jie "Xiu Lin yelled to the old man
but the old man didn't respond.
"elder Dan Zu" Xiu Lin waved to the old man
"hmmp...little brat, didn't. i told you to call me grandpa next time you visit me" the old man said in a lazy manner.
"ahhh i forgot, hehehe...grandpa Dan Zu!" Xiu Lin yelled once again
"hmmm...atleast you remember" Dan Zu sneered " next time dont forget" Dan Zu then did a few handseal before, suddenly a barrier suddenly became visible , before it opens up making and small entrance for Li Jie and Xiu Lin to come inside.
Dan Zu only stared at Li Jie for a few seconds before returning to his lazy posture and resume drinking
Xiu Lin turned towards Li Jie and murmured "dont worry about elder Dan Zu, he's always talks like that, but the truth is that he was a good man at heart"
"i can hear you here...little brat. stop talking, take what you need, and get the hell out of here!" Dan Zu suddenly yelled
"see, hehehe" Xiu Lin sniggers before dragging Li Jie to the other side of the room.
"Xiu Lin aren't you being too, friendly to a stranger like me?"Li Jie asked
"what are you talking about? you aren't a stranger" Xiu Lin said
"what i mean, is we only meet for 2 hours aren't you scared that i migth be a bad guy?" Li jie asked in a emotionless voice.
"hmmm... well first, will a bad guy says his a bad guy" Xiu Lin asked smiling towards Li Jie

"...."Li jie
"and third are you a bad guy Li Jie?" Xiu Ying asked
".....i-"Li jie words was cut off , after Xiu Lin put a crystal ball next to his face "put you hands here" she said.
Li Jie looked at her in loss for words, but he chooses to follow her for now, he put his hands to the crytal balls, few seconds later the crytal glowed red.
