"You're not as stupid as I thought you are."
Lin Xiao's face darkened as he turned around. He could see Wenren Yu walking in their direction. By now, Wenren Yu had already cleaned his robe so that it was no longer filled with leaves anymore.
"You're talking as if I'm someone hopeless!"
"Isn't that usually the case?"
"I'm not!"
Wenren Yu smiled lightly and pointed to the house. "The wall is broken now. Do you want to repair it or what?"
"There's no use repairing it now. I'll just cut a tree and then cut it to cover temporarily." Lin Xiao furrowed his brows.
"How do you plan to cut trees without tools?"
After staying with Lin Xiao for a period of time, Wenren Yu knew that these two siblings barely kept anything with them. In fact, normal household tools were not present either because there was rarely anyone who used it.
When they first built the house in the past, it was Lin Yun's parents who built it. Afterwards, whenever Lin Xiao needed to repair, he would borrow the tools from Shopkeeper Wang.
"Punch it!" Lin Xiao replied with a grin.
Wenren Yu: "…" I take back my words. He's still as stupid as ever.
"You wouldn't be able to cut trees in time."
"Better than nothing. You can help Lin Yun to move the plants first, make sure that no one can see you."
"Got it."
While Wenren Yu didn't wear the tag that told everyone he was Taiyi Sect disciple, it was still better for him to not meet with anyone. After all, it didn't need a genius to know that he was not someone related to the village.
If his background were to be investigated, his identity as Taiyi Sect disciple would be leaked out.
At that time, all hell would break loose.
The three of them quickly worked on their own. Lin Xiao was also paying close attention to his house, especially to anyone who want to come near. However, even after he waited until the sky turned dark, there was no one who came.
It was very quiet.
Too quiet in fact.
"Will that Old Su stay silent?" Lin Yun asked in confusion. Even he understood that it would be impossible for Elder Su to not enact revenge after his second son died. Elder Su pinned his hope on his second son and not his first.
Losing his second son meant a huge blow to him.
"He shouldn't be."
By now, Lin Xiao had also calmed down. When he was attacking Su Han back then, he no longer thought about the consequences and merely attacking forward. But now that he had cooled down, he realized that the villagers would never welcome him ever again.
In fact, it wouldn't be weird if they treated him as enemies.
"What do you think they're going to ask you to obtain forgiveness?"
"Martial arts?" Lin Xiao asked in cold tone. It was not weird for some people to be asked to cripple themselves. However, if he was asked to do that, he would rather fight to the death.
Without strength, he would just suffer.
He needed strength to protect his brother and also his own life.
Wenren Yu looked at Lin Xiao. "You're 15 years old Body Training Rank 6. Unless they're stupid enough to not make use of your talent, they'll ask you to abandon your martial arts."
"Ah?"
The two siblings looked at Wenren Yu in confusion. In their opinion, Elder Su wouldn't want them to get stronger and threatened him. Even when Lin Xiao was two ranks below Su Hei, he could withstand the attack.
Not perfect, but his life was not threatened either.
"What do you think he will do?"
"Use you," Wenren Yu replied. He looked at the plants and sighed. "There are a lot of dangerous plants that can be used to manipulate others. If they want to, they can even destroy your mind with medicine to make you follow their order…."
"…Is there even such recipe here?"
"Eh?
At this time, Wenren Yu finally recalled that the recipe he knew were all from Taiyi Sect and also other sects. A small village like this was unlikely to have such powerful and potent poison to control other people.
It was very unlikely.
"That's just the worst case scenario," Lin Xiao added and sighed. Truthfully, he was not that afraid if he just had to fight. But when it came to fighting with poison, he had to admit that there was some reluctance.
"So, what are you going to do, Bro?"
Lin Xiao tilted his head, looking at both Wenren Yu and Lin Yun. The three of them were still at the bottom of the chain, which was very weak.
"Can you make your breakthrough, Yun?"
