Liang Huo

"These two are still so young but their martial skills are astonishing..."

Along the way, Liang Huo observed both Fang An's and Xiao Chen's movements. Liang Huo could see that Fang An was not yet 30 years old but had very high martial arts ability. Even in Liang Huo's home sect, it was not easy to find someone like Fang An.

"Unfortunately this young man has serious internal injuries, it is not easy to treat his condition and if left unchecked his future will be very limited…" Liang Huo could tell Fang An's condition just by looking at his movements.

Liang Huo was actually more interested in Xiao Chen, this boy who looked like a 12 to 13 year old boy he realized was younger than he looked.

"Chen'er, how old are you now?" asked Liang Huo.

"I am eight years Senior…" Xiao Chen replied as he caught his breath.

It was hard for Liang Huo to hide his surprise at hearing this answer. Liang Huo could see that Xiao Chen had not yet started cultivating internal arts but his bones were of very good quality and had great physical strength.

Liang Huo couldn't help but admire, he had been in the martial world for so long and had a lot of experience but this was his first time encountering a talent like Xiao Chen.

"One drawback, why does this kid have such a strong killing aura?" Liang Huo thought.

Even if Xiao Chen had ways to hide his killer aura but would not be able to completely cover it from the eyes of someone like Liang Huo. If it weren't for observing further, Liang Huo would have assumed that Xiao Chen was an old demon who had managed to find a way to transform into a human.

"This child is obviously a human but he has a much more mature spirit, the look in his eyes is also that of someone who has gone through so many trials in life…" The more Liang Huo observed Xiao Chen, the more confused he became.

Xiao Chen was of course aware that Liang Huo was observing him but chose to feign ignorance to avoid causing big trouble. Xiao Chen still didn't know Liang Huo's true identity, so he and Fang An were on guard. It was just that the two of them could see that it didn't seem like Liang Huo was someone from a cult.

The three of them found a restaurant built for the sojourn of travelers and merchants after traveling for some time.

"Senior, let's stop there to buy supplies as well as lunch." Invite Fang An.

Liang Huo didn't refuse, the three of them finally stopped by the restaurant. There were only a few visitors apart from the three of them, the other visitors were warriors judging from the weapons they carried.

Fang An became the center of attention of some customers when he entered the restaurant because of the mask he was wearing, Liang Huo also attracted attention because of the long package on his back.

"Waiter give us your best vegetable and meat dish, Senior would like some wine?" Fang An looked unperturbed by the stares of the other guests, he was used to this situation.

"Of course, give me the best wine you have." Liang Huo laughed heartily.

Xiao Chen took a deep breath, there wasn't a warrior in the martial world who didn't like drinking wine and the greatest torment he experienced during his second life was not being able to drink wine.

Bamboo Sword Villa didn't store any wine in its kitchen at all, Fang An certainly wouldn't allow a kid of Xiao Chen's age to drink wine. Xiao Chen was actually a little rebellious, considering that he had even killed a lot of people, what was the problem with drinking a little wine?

In the end, Xiao Chen could only surrender to the temptation of the stench of the wine that the maid brought, "Three years I can endure it because there's no wine in front of me but this…" Xiao Chen kept looking at Liang Huo and Fang An's cups which were now filled with wine.

Fang An rarely drank wine because of his body's condition, he noticed Xiao Chen's gaze who was now also swallowing his saliva. Liang Huo realized the same thing and laughed.

"Chen'er, you want to try it?" Liang Huo offered his cup to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen nodded vigorously but of course Liang Huo didn't give him the cup.

"You should wait another ten years at least." Liang Huo then drank from the cup until there was nothing left, making Xiao Chen grunt.

When the vegetable and meat dishes they ordered came, the three of them ate voraciously. Fang An and Xiao Chen had not enjoyed a hearty meal like this in a long time.

"Fang'er, if you don't mind may I check your pulse?"

After finishing their meal, Liang Huo suddenly asked Fang An to extend his hand. After eating the meal together, Liang Huo could feel that both Fang An and Xiao Chen were good people. Liang Huo thought to check Fang An's condition and see if he could cure the young man.

Fang An let Liang Huo check his pulse but didn't expect much because Fang An knew his own condition very well. Xiao Chen looked at the two curiously but it didn't take long before Xiao Chen felt disappointed as Liang Huo's expression turned ugly.

"Fang'er… How did you…" Liang Huo was extremely shocked when he checked Fang An's internal injuries.

Fang An only smiled faintly in response, he understood that Liang Huo couldn't help him. Liang Huo had to admit he had never seen such a deep wound before, Fang An should have been dead or at least crippled. If not for his ability and talent, Fang An probably wouldn't be able to live this kind of life.

"Too bad, if you don't suffer this injury perhaps one day you will become one of the pillars of the martial world…" Liang Huo sighed, a little regretful.

"Senior I don't have such ambitions…" Fang An smiled faintly before looking at Xiao Chen, "I wish I was only old enough to see my disciple become independent and make a name for himself in the martial world."

Liang Huo thought for a moment as he looked at Fang An and Xiao Chen, "With my current state I can't do much, but when your business is done in the Capital come to my sect." Liang Huo took out from his robes, a bronze colored medallion with Peach letters engraved on it.

Fang An and Xiao Chen's eyes widened when they saw it, because this medal was the identification of someone from Peach Blossom Mountain, one of the strongest white sects in the territory of the Han Empire.

Fang An's body trembled slightly, the name Liang Huo was actually familiar to him but he didn't associate the name Liang Huo with the old geezer in front of him. Xiao Chen held his breath as well, because he also recognized a figure named Liang Huo from Peach Blossom Mountain.
