sending them to recall the rest of the villagers.
Hui Yue and Lan Feng were as quiet as possible, neither of them wished for this new Lord to look through their current level of strength, nor did they wish for anything else to be noticed, so they were quite happy when they were able to quickly leave.
Hui Yue quickly cupped his hands before he hurried out of the time under the gaze of Lord Rong Liang and his two children.
‘We are going to have some trouble,’ Lan Feng said with a worried voice and Hui Yue could only nod in agreement.
Chapter 4 – His first friend
Hui Yue did as he was told and quickly gathered the villagers who had barricaded themselves within the protective shelter. Every villager was astonished and proud when they heard that the great Lord Rong Liang had decided upon their humble village to be the campsite for his entourage.
Hui Yue, however, did not share those happy feelings as he felt a sense of danger whenever he was within sight of the esteemed lord. Lord Rong Liang would always look at Hui Yue with a certain degree of interest, and Hui Yue was very unhappy with anyone who showed interest in his affairs.
The first day went by in chaos. The guardsmen were split into groups. Some were erecting their camp; others were hunting for provisions while a third group was scouting the area, ensuring that everything was safe.
The village that Hui Yue lived in was so small that it had never been given any specific name, and the villagers were so poor that no bandits would ever bother coming by, but Lord Rong Liang was a very important person, and he was currently travelling together with his two children. It was possible that his enemies would send small armies to deal with him in this situation.
The women in the village would find any excuse possible to walk past the campsite and look at the guardsmen. Some would blatantly flirt with the men, hoping that the guards would take a liking to them and bring them away from the poverty-stricken lives while others would blush and run away the moment their eyes met.
Hui Lifen was also interested in the campsite, but unlike most of the young women, she was interested in hearing stories from the outside world. Hui Lifen was a very beautiful woman, and the guards would gladly comply with her insatiable desire to hear stories from the busy cities.
Hui Yue had been dragged to the camp together with his mother; fortunately, he had managed to escape, as Hui Lifen was busy hearing the exciting stories.
Hui Yue had to be careful around any expert with a higher cultivation than himself, as they had the ability to screen his cultivation base. Lan Feng was capable of faking their cultivation base to look like someone who did not cultivate for a short amount of time, however, it did not last for very long, and neither Hui Yue nor the phoenix felt like risking revelation.
Hui Yue had been staying at home since he escaped his mother and managed to refine yet another Qi thread before both parents returned home and got ready for dinner.
Dinner was quite luxurious today as Lord Rong Liang’s party had handed out all the extra meat they had acquired on their hunt.
“Yue er,” Hui Lifen said when she saw Hui Yue, “Lord Rong Liang asked about you,” she continued happily, “he has never seen a disease like yours before, and he would very much like to examine it later on.” Hui Yue felt his blood freeze over. It was clear that Lord Rong Liang did not believe that Hui Yue was an ordinary boy.
“I am fine, I am sure it will just waste the time of an esteemed lord,” Hui Yue said meekly, but his mother quickly dismissed his worry, “Lord Rong Liang was the one who requested to examine you, I am sure he wishes to understand your disease. It would be rude to not comply with his request now that he has granted our village a visit.”
Hui Yue could only grit his teeth as he agreed to visit the camp early
