Inside the small tavern, the ten men laughed at the young boy. Theirs laughter filled the air inside the small tavern. The young boy looked at the ten men without fear with a pair of cold hazel eyes. He showed the men that he is not afraid of them.
The ten men lunged at the young boy. The young boy took out the first paper talisman and chant the spell that his nice looking master taught him. The paper talisman turned into six icicles, and flew directly at the charging men. The first three men were hit and bleed badly on the floor.
The two new hunters on the table stood up. They both said at the same time, "Icicle Attack".
Zhao Renshu laughed at Guo Baiyu and said, "Told you, he is a fast learner."
Due to the young boy's sudden attack, the other seven men retreated a little back. The team leader sent two men to attack the young boy first. The first man grabbed the young boy's left hand and dragged him about four feet away.
Then, the little boy patted the man's hand, "Go down." The man's right hand lost all strength, and the man knelt on the floor unable to move.
The man uttered, "It's impossible...I...can't move."
The team leader shouted, "What are you guy waiting for? Attack the tramp?"
Three of the men quickly lunged at the young boy. He sent out the second talisman. Once again, six icicles rushed straight at three men, and one man was immediately killed. The other two were injured. The young boy took out his last paper talisman and looked straight at the rest of the people with a pair of fearless taunting eyes.
Zhao Renshu, "What did you tell him?"
Guo Baiyu, "I told him that fear is people's weakness."
Master He noticed that his men were slowly retreating. He said, "All of you! Attack the tramp!"
Master He's men charged at the young boy. When hundreds of sharp icicles appeared quickly pointed at Master He's men, everyone can see that Zhao Renshu have a blue talisman floating on his right palm. The young boy's mouth is wide open. He couldn't believe what he had witnessed.
Guo Baiyu said, "Master He, our agreement does not consent that everyone can charge at once."
Master He, "What are you? Some kind of monster?"
Zhao Renshu smiled and said, "The only monster I see here is you." He burst out laughing.
Man dressed in green and white came over, "I can't believe it, I actually witnessed it with my own eyes. You must be the famous hunter Zhao Renshu."
Man dressed in red and white, "Young man, you are lucky to be his disciple. Many people could only dreamed of being Zhao Renshu's disciple."
The young boy asked slowly, "Is he as famous as the Guozhao Hunters?"
Fang Yaoting suddenly laughed and walked from the other side of the tavern, "You little rascal, don't you know? The Guozhao hunters are standing in front of you." Master He and his men's faces turned pale. Fang Yaoting looked at Master He, then asked the man dressed in red and white man, "What is the most famous quote the hunters said about Zhao Renshu?"
Man dressed in red and white, "Those who have done evil, if they happen to meet Zhao Renshu, they will never live long enough to tell story."
The young boy recalled the incident at the mountain trail. Everyone was killed by his master.
Zhao Renshu crushed the floating talisman, and all the hundreds of icicles immediately stabbed Master He and his servants. The blood dripped from the end of the icicle to the floor. Twenty people died where they stood.
Guo Baiyu turned to Zhao Renshu, "Look at all the mess here." He frowned. "You should let them go out first."
Zhao Renshu, "You didn't say anything when I was crushing the talisman."
Guo Baiyu, "Use common sense."
The tavern owner walked up with a shocked face. Fang Yaoting handed the owner a large gold ingot.
Tavern owner, "Sir, please rest assured, we will take care of your bodies."
Zhao Renshu put his arm around Ping'an and they walked ahead with Fang Yaoting to the table.
Guo Baiyu looked at the boy and gave him a smile, "We don't have all day standing there." He walked ahead, and the young boy followed his master.
Guo Baiyu and the young boy were the last two to come to over at the table. The group continued eating their meal. The young boy looked at Guo Baiyu. This master of his have a very fine handsome feature and without even asking this master should be very smart. He looked at Zhao Renshu. When he looked at Zhao Renshu, he remembered the image of his master, standing in rain, within a few minutes, his master killed all the bad guys.
Zhao Renshu, "Hey kid, what's your name?"
Guo Baiyu, "Do you want to be call black boy for life?"
The young boy, "I don't have a name. People have called me black boy since I could remembered."
Guo Baiyu looked at the young boy. The boy is about thirteen or fourteen years old. His complexion is darker than normal. His hair was silky black down to his waist.
Guo Baiyu, "You don't know your date of birth either am I correct?"
Young boy shook his head.
Guo Baiyu, "Just say that today is your birthday, today you turn fifteen years old. Your name is Zhiqiang."
Zhao Renshu smiled and added, "Guozhao Zhiqiang, the first disciple of the Guozhao Hunters."
Lee Dachin, "This name suits you very much. Zhiqiang, the will is strong. After everything, you are still unbreakable."
Ping'an, "From now on, don't let anyone call you by the color of your skin. You have a name, your name is Guozha Zhiqiang. From now on, your home is in Cloud City."
Xiao Mei, "Zhiqiang ge ge, happy birthday."
Guozhao Zhiqiang, "Thank you, xiao meimei."
Guo Baiyu said, "Eat before the food get cold."
This is the first time in his life that he has a name and a surname. Guozhao Zhiqiang looked around the table and he saw that everyone was enjoying the food. He put down his hand and and pinched himself seven times, until he was finally convinced that sitting here enjoyed dinner with his family was not a dream.
