Chapter 369 Wang An
Chapter 369 Wang An
Logically speaking, this young man is only at the initial stage of the Golden Core Realm. Master Tingyu could even dodge the old man's whip, so how could he not dodge this young man's whip?
But seeing that the old man in the late Jindan stage was bowing and nodding to the young man in the early Jindan stage, and seeing that the horse he was riding was quite majestic, he knew that the young man must be from a wealthy family and had enough food to keep a mount.
In this last days, food is especially precious. To have enough food to keep a mount, one must not only be wealthy, but also have a high status.
From this we can see that this young man is probably from a noble family.
The reason why Master Tingyu chose to keep a low profile was that he did not want to provoke other Nascent Souls and Gods of Transformation.
Although this young man does not have such a realm of cultivation, there must be elders at the Nascent Soul and Spiritualization stages behind him.
Low-key and forbearing!
So Master Tingyu covered his face, bent his waist and apologized: "Please forgive me, sir, I just came here and don't know the rules."
The young man could not see the murderous intent hidden in Master Tingyu's eyes when he bent down, but he was certainly not in a very good mood.
Holding the whip in his hand, he said on the horse's back, "Humph, do you know how far I have ridden for you idiots? How much fodder have I wasted along the way?"
He was too impatient to talk nonsense with Master Tingyu, so he pointed his whip to the west and said, "Why don't you report to the western household?"
Master Tingyu quickly spread his legs, and Tian Lin and the other two followed behind him, heading towards the place where the crowd was gathering in the west.
The young man did not greet the four men, but continued to whip to drive away the Hwawarang who had just arrived and did not know that they had to register.
"For today's humiliation, I will repay you tenfold one day!"
Master Tingyu gnashed his teeth, not forgetting the vengeance of the young man and the old man from Daoxiang Village. He instructed the official and the second in command:
"Forget about the old man in Daoxiang Village. I will massacre his entire village sooner or later. As for that guy in the early stage of Jindan, you should pay attention to his name. When I leave one day, I will definitely kill his entire family and sleep with his wife and daughter."
Langguan and Erdang didn't know that what he meant by leaving was leaving this world, they just thought he meant leaving the capital.
The second in command frowned and could not help but comfort Master Tingyu: "This young man is nothing to worry about, but he must have a great background. It is not worth it to go against such a local tyrant for such a small matter!"
His words were prudent and meant to comfort Master Tingyu and not take it to heart. After all, the world of cultivation is like this, who hasn't been bullied by someone with stronger cultivation?
Being bullied by someone who is more powerful than you is not such a shameful thing.
But he only remembered that Master Tingyu had a low status, but forgot that Master Tingyu was a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator.
"I just couldn't stand being bullied, so I suffered all kinds of hardships and finally cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage. Now that I'm a Nascent Soul expert, I'm still bullied by a little bastard in the early Golden Core stage. Then, wouldn't all my cultivation in the Nascent Soul stage be in vain?"
He glared at the second in command fiercely and said, "Have you forgotten that I am the eldest among us? Don't you listen to me?"
The second in command said nothing more. The previous whip from the old man from Daoxiang Village and the young man made him no longer look up to Master Tingyu so highly.
However, more than a month of obedience testing is not so easy to eliminate after all.
Once Master Tingyu took a firm stance, the Second in Command stopped arguing.
When they arrived at the crowded place, they saw ragged Huahualangs forming a human wall.
Tian Lin and others were outside the human wall. Although they could not see the scene inside, they could hear the sounds inside.
I only heard someone say, "All the refugees that you selected earlier will follow me to settle down in the valley. From now on, your food will also be arranged by the Zhao family. Next, it's the turn of the Wang family to call out names."
Amidst the commotion, a part of the human wall suddenly dispersed. Tian Lin only saw a late Jindan cultivator leading a group of women and a few Taoists walking away. Some others pretended to pounce on the leading Jindan cultivator, but the Jindan cultivator didn't need to make a move, as an officer who was maintaining order stood up and slashed him with a knife.
This officer was also a Jindan cultivator. With just one strike of his sword, he cut off the head of the man who pounced on the Jindan cultivator.
While the others were in shock, the officer wiped the blood off the knife with a handkerchief and said:
"Being chosen by the Zhao family is fate, and not being chosen is also fate! As a human being, you have to accept your fate. Besides, just because the Zhao family didn't choose you doesn't mean that the Wang family doesn't want you. Even if they don't want you, don't cause trouble, otherwise my knife won't recognize you."
His knife finally quieted the rioting crowd.
Taking advantage of the previous chaos, Tian Lin and others also squeezed into the crowd.
There was a long table in the empty space inside, and behind the table stood a middle-aged monk. The middle-aged monk was so majestic that it was hard to tell his level of cultivation.
On the badge on the middle-aged monk's waist, the word "King" was clearly written, representing the identity of this middle-aged monk.
The middle-aged cultivator bowed to everyone and said, "My name is Wang An, and I have just entered the early stage of the Nascent Soul a few years ago. Today is the first time I am selecting refugees for the clan, so I am a little unfamiliar with the work, so please cooperate with me."
A Nascent Soul expert could speak so politely, which surprised the Hua Hualangs who were surrounding him.
Master Tingyu was a little disdainful and sent a message to Tian Lin and the others, "As a powerful Yuanying master, you are so polite to a group of Qi cultivators. Not only does it make people feel unfriendly, but it makes people look down on you."
He looked down upon Wang An's behavior and felt that Wang An brought shame to them, the Nascent Soul cultivators.
Tian Lin only glanced at the whip marks on Master Tingyu's face and didn't say anything at this time. He just continued to look at Wang An.
At this time, Wang An said, "Let's follow the previous practice and select the monks first."
At this time, the servant beside Wang An whispered something to Wang An, who nodded and looked at the audience again and said, "If there are any Jindan cultivators who are willing to join my Wang family as servants, please stand up and register."
Master Tingyu in the audience was slightly moved. Even a Jindan cultivator could only be a servant of the Wang family, which showed how powerful the Wang family was.
Just as Master Tingyu was weighing the pros and cons, Wang An's gaze had already turned to him.
After all, Wang An is a Nascent Soul expert, so it is easy to tell who is strong and who is weak below.
Seeing this, Master Tingyu was afraid that if he did not join the Wang family, he would offend Wang An. Just as he was hesitating, the servant next to Wang An scolded Master Tingyu and said:
"This is my master's first time doing something, so he must have a good start. You are lucky to be favored by my master, so why are you still hesitating?"
Upon seeing this, Master Tingyu stood up and gritted his teeth and said, "If I become a servant of the Wang family, what benefits will I get?"
This is a question that must be asked.
The servant didn't say anything. Wang An said, "As a rule, servants get two strings of new banknotes, two liters of rice, and one ounce of meat a month. In addition, they don't need to be registered as refugees, but can be directly selected to be rural residents of Wangjiazhuang. This is a special case I'm giving you."
Obviously, the new banknotes, rice and meat, etc., are not very meaningful to Master Tingyu. But the rural households are attractive to Master Tingyu.
After all, Daoxiangcun's whip made him realize that rural households are a rare commodity.
