He then left his room to go outside the castle.

When he arrived there, he met a few bandits still standing outside and were discussing about many things . They were already used to being very active at night.

When Xiao Lin appeared, they began to look at him with strange gazes in their eyes.

Xiao Lin ignored their gazes and approached them with a smile in his face.

"Hello guys" He greeted.

The bandits nodded their heads at his greeting.

Xiao Lin then proceeded to ask them a question.

"Are you guys very familiar with all the valleys in this town?" He asked

The bandits nodded their heads with one saying "Actually, there are only two valleys that can be found at the outskirts of this town. Assuming you asked how many valleys that we have in the city that this town is in, then we would have no idea about that since we don't operate in the city but only in this town. However, since you mentioned only this town, there are only two of it."

"Hmm" Xiao Lin nodded his head.

He then proceeded to ask them another question "So, do you guys know any of any sect that can be found on the top of a mountain in any of the two valleys that you mentioned?"

"Sect?" One asked while Xiao Lin nodded his head.

Then they began to look at him with intensely strange gazes in their eyes.

At this point in time, they were thinking of so many things.

However, they stopped their deep pondering when they recalled that their master, Nine Calamities, would have given Xiao Lin that Blood Contract page to sign. So, they felt at ease when they know how that he wouldn't be able to do anything that would jeopardize their lives, or he will rapidly emaciate and wither off to his death.

Then they proceeded to answer his question.

"Yea. There is this sect located at the peak of a mountain that can be found at the Greensilk Valley." One of them responded.

Once that person mentioned this, Xiao Lin's eyes glowed.

Then when the glow dimmed, he asked "On what mountain peak can that sect be found? And in what direction do I go the Greensilk Valley from here?"

Xiao Lin didn't refrain from asking them these questions, since he understands that they know he has signed the Blood Contract page and wouldn't dare to really do anything that will jeopardize their lives or activities, or he will simply swiftly dry up and scatter apart into piles of ashes and bleached bones. Therefore, since he knew this, he asked them all the questions that he wanted to ask them. If not, he would be more careful in doing so.

The few bandits before him looked at him this time with stronger incomprehensible gazes in their eyes. They were both intensely bewildered and dumbfounded at the same time.

Then one unexpectedly asked "Bloodfang, if I may ask, why are you asking us about the sect that will be found at a mountain peak in the Greensilk Valley? What are you going there to do? Do have a family member that you want to see or what?"

Xiao Lin smiled.

He then said "Well, what I am going there to do doesn't concern you. So, why don't you mind your businesses and give me the answer that I want?"

The bandits looked at him with angry gazes in their eyes.

Then one asked "Oh really? Why don't you go find out about that yourself?"

He then unexpectedly said to the others around him "Don't give this pale freak any more answers. He should go find his answers by himself."

Once he said this, the others nodded their heads in agreement and ignored Xiao Lin's presence as they resumed discussion on what they were previously talking about before Xiao Lin appeared before them.

Seeing that the bandits only ignored him, Xiao Lin asked again with a smile in his face "Guys, on what mountain peak can that sect be found? And in what direction do I go the Greensilk Valley from here?"

The one that rudely spoke to him earlier looked at Xiao Lin and said with a serious expression appearing in face "If you can't tell us what you want to do there, then you can as well burn the idea of getting any information from us."

Xiao Lin exhaled.

He then asked "You really want to know?"

"Sure!" That person loudly said and nodded his head. Same with the others who were now looking at Xiao Lin to listen to the response that he would give.

Xiao Lin saw their seriousness and only shook his head.

He then said "Alright then. Since you want to know, I will tell you."

He then continued "Actually, why I want to go there is to go meet the master of that sect. He went on a far journey for many months to help me get a particular substance, like a concoction, that I can drink and would help me improve the color of my skin which is due to a certain condition that I was born with."

Immediately Xiao Lin said that, the people before him looked at the skin of his arms and then at face, with one asking "Okay. But how do you know that the master of that sect is back, since he went on a long journey to help you gather some substances and turn them into concoction for you? Besides, from the way that you sounded, it seems you are close to him. Are you really that close to him? If so, why did you leave there in the first place to come join us us here?"

Once those questions were asked, Xiao Lin nodded his head as he began to look at that person that asked those questions with an indecipherable gaze in his eyes.

"Are you really trying to interrogate me right now? So because I came to you guys for information, you feel that you all can interrogate me? Haha! That's good. Like really good" Xiao Lin said with a concealed murderous tone in his voice.

He then continued "I don't want your damned answers any more. I will surely find my way there myself. Fools!"

Once Xiao Lin said that, he turned around to leave their presence.

But just before he could do so, one of them said with an unconcealed tone of animosity in his voice "Do you know that our Master, Nine Calamities, allows us bandits who hold deep grudges with one another to fight it out in a battle to the death? I guess not. So, you better be careful around here, or us all that will hold deep-seated grudges with you will engage you in a life-or-death battle. And I believe that no matter how tough your body would be at this current, insignificant cultivation level of yours, it will surely break apart when you are faced by many of us."
