Path Of Sword Master

Li Jie was rushing towards the watchtower, he was running as fast he could, afraid he might be late,

he was very curious and had loads of questions that he could ask Dai Chen about the continent and the outside world in detail, while he used to talk with the servants of the household,

they were asked by his parents to hold up on a lot of information that might affect him for a child his age,

his parents cared for him too much, they didn't want him to lose his pure innocence which he will lose eventually as he grows up, but they were trying their best to keep him away from the filthy side of the world.

Li Jie on the other had no interest in the dark side of the world, he just didn't want to see anything unfair to happen in front of him, he just wanted to understand the dark side of this world and to confront it head-on if the situation arises,

he wanted to know more about the situation of the slums and more details about everyday knowledge from Dai Chen.

At the watchtower was a thin boy who had ragged clothes on him, in his teen standing there fidgety, his eyes had a look of expectancy for someone,

he would look around from time to time for anyone to show up, he also had a bit of fear crept up in his mind as to what if the young man doesn't come as promised,

which would be quite disappointing but it is also a fact that the young master didn't owe him anything for him to have the feeling of disappointment, but he still kept on waiting for the young master to show up feeling distressed.

With time passing by a minute after minute, the young teenage boy Dai Chen was starting to get worried as he recalled that today before coming here to the Li Castel from his home,

he has already told his siblings that he will be bringing them some food today, returning back to his home he knew his siblings wouldn't say anything like before when many a time he was unsuccessful in bringing anything to eat,

but while sleeping at night they would clutch on to their stomachs in pain and trying to make less noise as possible which occurred due to their stomachs being completely empty,

the sad part was if possible they would even eat grass, but they couldn't because the slums had complete dry land full of garbage and filth,

where no kind of vegetation existed due to the toxicity of the land and the various kinds of harmful garbage which was thrown there,

very rarely any one of them would be able to find something to eat from the pile of garbage and even if something was found, the food found by anyone living there had to be kept hidden or the person would be robbed, beaten up, and even be killed,

due to this reason, Dai Chen never dared to find food in the pile of garbage lest he gets himself in trouble although it was far more riskier to look for food outside,

where he would be executed on the spot without any question, but he had to for the sake of his siblings and by going outside, he could bring the food procured by him to his home safely where no eyes would follow.

Right at that moment, he heard the sound of footsteps which woke him up from his stupor,

he rapidly crouched down in caution behind a barrel and was peeking from where the sound came,

sometime later he noticed a small figure with something on his back, who was sweating profusely and whose chest was heaving up and down with rapid breathing sounds.

the small figure was Li Jie who just reached here, while on the way carrying the bag of food didn't faze him much after all in this continent,

kids his age are able to easily pick up 20 jin of stones and throw it around despite their small size due to the thick energy of essence energy surrounding them which made the residents of this continent have a strong physique since birth, even a normal human born with a low-level bloodline has quite an extraordinary strength since a young age,

while there are also those who are born with rare bloodlines or bloodlines belonging to the strength category with quite shocking strength since their birth,

as for the case of Li Jie, while he may not have a bloodline, for him to also possess raw strength at such an age wasn't rare,

after all, there were also some rare herbs that help in increasing the physique of a child,

it might be strenuous for normal families to buy such exotic herbs for their descendants which were of high cost but the great families were able to easily provide it for their descendants,

but it took him a lot of energy to bring this bag up which was due to the force of gravity acting on his small body which was still untrained,

noticing himself pacing back and forth to catch his breath made him realize that he must start training his physique,

which although was required for a person to do when they reach by the age of 10 but some can start it earlier if possible, as it doesn't affect any physical development.

Li Jie after putting down the bag started looking for Dai Chen when he noticed a teenage boy coming to him,

who after almost reaching him kneeled towards him and said in a tearful voice "I can't tell you, young master, how grateful I feel towards your generosity If the young master has any instructions for me I shall do it faithfully without a question",

Li Jie was dazed by Dai Chen's actions when he suddenly reached towards Dai Chen and pulled him up "You don't have to do anything for me, I am just curious about the outside world and I would like to know more about it from you.
