Chapter 5

When he opened the door a maid was standing nervously. "Sir Bing the young master and the patriarch has called you to the main hall" "alright you can go". Bing hurried to the main hall where he saw the patriarch oh his throne and Shen Lou kneeling in front of him. This confused him as Shen Lou had never keeled to him before.

"Ahh your here Luo Bing" the patriarch called out while Bing kneeled then he started to speak. "I want you to accompany Shen Lou to go to a village nearby that we oversee, they have had trouble with some wild wolves"

"Ah yes patriarch I shall accompany young master but if I may ask what rank are they?" Bing didn't want to walk into death for no reason and if he couldn't win he would immediately run without caring about Shen Lou even though he had been nice to him.

"Don't worry there few rank 0 and an alpha rank 1 wolf that leads them, he's only in the first level" Bing sighed in relief, wild beasts had ranks just like cultivators rank 0 was pre body refinement realm and rank 1 was body refinement realm. With Shen with him they could easily deal with the wolves.

"I will send out 1 guard with you guys, he is in the body refinement realm level 3, if in any danger he will step out and help" Shen Lou nodded and both of them walked out. "Get ready for an adventure, the village is 1 week away from us we will leave tomorrow"

Shen let Bing go back to his room. In the past 2 month he had reached the peak level of pre body refinement realm but others could see him as only early level one it's near time to leave for the school he will fake break through into the middle level.

Bing spent his time cultivating, he didn't get much time to practice his sword here because he didn't want expose himself, he had also been given access to the library the past 2 month which he went in and out of Some days, he read about the Lou family. He had found out that the patriarch was a level 9 body

refinement realm master from the system and wanted to see who is the strongest but all he could find was that the patriarchs father had entered half-step Qi circulation and went into seclusion to breakthrough.

The patriarchs wife had died a few years ago from a weird condition she had and the patriarchs mother had also went into seclusion to break into the Qi circulation realm and once they break through the Lou family will become a medium grade family and can move closer to the kingdom.

The sun rose and Bing opened his eyes, fixed his hair and wore some good clothes after a shower, he went to the front gate, he saw that the guard the was there, he's muscular and has red hair but most of it is covered by his helmet. "Luo bing?, you can call me lei" "mister lei when will master Shen come?". "Don't worry he's just gone to get his weapon he'll be back in a minute"

Shen Lou came out with his weapons and he held a spatial bag. "We also have to collect our yearly tax, 10,000 low grade spirit stones or 1,000 medium grade spirit stones, we also have to recruit some people from the village" Shen Lou said.

"Alright let's head out" the guard said and got in the last carriage and Bing got in the front carriage and Shen Lou got in the middle carriage. The first carriage was for the recruitments, the second for the tax and the last for any wild beast corpse to sell.

With the carriage it would take up to 7 days to get there but they had to take some breaks for the horses. Three days in they were in the middle of a forest they heard multiple beast roars but the carriage kept going they had to be extra quiet if they wanted to survive but suddenly the carriage stopped.

"Why have you stopped" Bing questioned the driver. "I-it's bandits" Bing took a quick look at the bandits then scoffed "why are you so scared?" They were all pre body refinement realm cultivators and the leader seemed to only be middle level while the other 5 were early level they all seemed over 30 years old it looked like there talent was poor.

"Stay here, master Shen, sir lei please let me handle it" Bing wanted to show off but also kick some ass as his palms were itching from not fighting for so long. Shen wanted to say no but the guard spoke "don't worry master Shen if he's seriously injured I'll get him back let him show us how worthy he is to protect you". "Thank you for this chance mister lei Bing bowed at the 3rd carriage and walked towards the bandits with a sword he was gifted by the Lou family.

"Haha they are sending a kid we will be rich today" the pawns laughed and the leader also laughed with them. "Hey kid, if you can survive one of my attack you can leave we won't kill you hahaha" the bandits kept on talking and looking down on Bing.

'These motherf*ckers' Bing became irritated. "Come and die you little shits" Bing provoked the leader it seemed to work perfectly as the leader looked annoyed. "Won't you die when I flick my finger at you? Ahahahaha"

At this point Bing didn't care he ran towards them and aimed for the weaker ones first.
