Path Of Sword Master

Li Jie nodded after hearing Dai Chen's name, "Listen Dai Chen I will let you go today but from now on, you must not steal",

Dai Chen's face turned somber hearing this, not because he wanted to steal but because he didn't know how to provide food for his siblings in the future, he could only nod in helplessness towards the young master.

"You don't have to worry about the food, I will try to get food for you and your siblings from our inventory which I have heard has a lot of food, I am sure I can get them to you, from tomorrow onwards come here at the same time as right now",

Dai Chen's eyes lit up, he was stunned and delighted upon hearing the young master in front of him and thanked with heartfelt emotions

"this poor Dai Chen doesn't know how to thank the young master, I promise young master that I will never steal from now on," said Dai Chen from the depth of his heart,

Li Jie nodded and smiled "by the way in return you will have to tell me all the knowledge that you have regarding the outside world"

after all, Li Jie was fascinated and extremely interested in the knowledge regarding outside of Li family and the whole continent plus what Dai Chen shared wasn't among the things he has ever heard of in his family,

he has never heard anyone mentioning about this place called the slum and why does no one gives a helping hand to it's poor residents.

These questions bothered Li Jie a lot, after all his Li family was one of the most powerful families of the whole continent if they wanted to help,

he was sure it wouldn't affect them in the slightest so why don't they help and the same goes for the other families and organizations,

he had decided in his mind to ask his parents about the slums and their poor residents who live in harsh conditions and he was sure if he asks his father, who is also the patriarch of the Li family for helping these poor people he wouldn't refuse.

"Young master with your permission I would like to go to my home, where my younger siblings are waiting for me," said Dai Chen with a respectful tone,

Li Jie nodded towards him, "You can go", hearing which Dai Chen smiled and left running while carrying the bag with him, he once again turned around getting a look at the young master who first saved him from his pursuers,

who heard, understood his plight, and also promised him for giving him food from tomorrow onwards, at first he thought he would be dead today, he wasn't afraid of death, he was afraid of who will be taking care of his siblings if he is gone,

all his life Dai Chen had no hope for a tomorrow and was just living his life in fear and trepidation he wanted to suicide many times but the thought of his siblings kept him against it,

someone who lived his life forcibly for his siblings and emptiness lurked in his mind without thinking much for himself, after all not everyone dares to escape from the slums and barge into a city or any of the major regions controlled by a specific great family,

which was something Li Jie who was only a kid without much information didn't know or else if he had known, he would have been shocked to the extreme and commended Dai Chen for his courage,

as for Dai Chen, for the first time in his life, he felt a feeling where his heart was throbbing faster like a galloping horse,

he couldn't wait for the next day to happen and meet this young master again who was just 5 years old but a very interesting person a very pure person without even a shred of malice towards anyone and warm-hearted, who viewed the world differently,

"Oh, young master I wonder if you will always be like how you are now or you will also change and become like how everyone becomes after attaining power," thought Dai Chen expectantly of the coming future.

Li Jie was returning to his chamber, while on his way back he was ruminating over the events of the day that had transpired, which felt like a dream after all so many things happening in a single day which was very unusual for Li Jie.

He almost reached his room when he noticed that there was someone already present in his room when he almost reached inside, he saw two small kids running around and playing with different toys while being attended by their mother and his father was looking at everything with a smile,

suddenly all of them noticed Li Jie, who was outside and was just on his way to enter the room, Li Na smiled sweetly towards Li Jie and asked "Li Jie dear how was your first training session",

Li Jie was going to answer when he suddenly remembered something and looked towards the expectant faces of his mother and father in guilt, "Father-Mother I haven't decided which weapon to choose yet, I will need some time to decide",

Li Wei and Li Na both smiled nodding in understanding towards him then Li Wei asked "Li Jie do you know which weapon your father and mother use?" to which Li Jie shook his head to show his lack of knowledge on this matter,

"well your mom uses her twin blade wheels which in my opinion is a weird weapon," said Li Wei with a chuckle, Li Na hearing this had her face turn stern,

"Well if you feel it's weird why don't we spar a bit with your so-called "Heaven Reaching Spear" provoked Li Na in a mocking tone, listening to his wife made Li Wei sweat profusely

hehehe I was just joking my love, truth be told Li Jie even I have to admit that your mother's weapon is very horrifying and impossible to block",

Li Jie felt his heart warm and flutter in happiness seeing his family and remembering Dai Chen's words, which made him think that he should not take anything for granted, seeing his mother and father bickering made him laugh out loud which made his parents shocked who were happy secretly by looking at their eldest son who was laughing now and felt relieved, they were worried of how everything might impact their son, but seeing his innocent pure laugh made them happy in their hearts.
