"You're very reckless, Brother." Lin Yun sighed after they had gone quite a distance away from the commotion.

Lin Xiao arched his eyebrows and shrugged. He disliked people like that teacher who belittled people with low background. While it was true that their path might be harder because they have no one to rely on, there was still possibility for them to become powerful cultivators in the future.

Why didn't the teacher give them the chance? She simply used her prejudice to look down on them.

"But this move is useful."

"Yes?"

Lin Xiao didn't answer and looked at the back. He noticed that there were four people who came out with them. The others had also noticed them and it seemed that with Lin Xiao spoke out his belief like that, he had attracted other people to come with him.

The three men had decent appearance. The first one was a large man with lanky built. He was carrying a large axe on his back and looked a bit scary at first glance. However, his expression was warm. The second one was a thin yet tall man. He was wearing fine robes, which expressed that he must have come from some kind of noble background. His clean appearance also made it easy for one to think of him as the third generation of a rich family that was only known for their uselessness…

*cough*

The third one was a small young man. He had childish appearance and looked fairly young. However, there was faint glint in his eyes that was hidden beneath. It was as if a young child was forced to mature so quickly that one couldn't help but feel heartache. But in the cruel cultivation world like this, no one would give leeway to children just because they were still young.

"Man, you're very awesome when you speak like that!"

"Yes! I can't believe that there's someone who dared to speak up," the second one also raised his thumb.

The third young man nodded. "You're amazing."

Lin Xiao smiled. "I'm just speaking what I'm thinking. Why should people with low background be belittled? It's not like we can have any option where we would be born. However, what we want to do in our life is completely in our hands!"

They all nodded their heads in agreement. In their eyes, what they should care about was simply what they would do. If they believed that they would become a powerful cultivator, it meant that they have to work hard.

"I'm Lin Xiao, what's your name?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Lin?" the first young man was stunned. However, he couldn't remember any princes who fit with Lin Xiao's description, so he pushed the thoughts to the back. "I'm Han Jiang."

"I'm Lu Jian."

"Xia Ye."

Lin Xiao nodded. "These are Lin Yun, Sui Wenyan, and also Wenren Yu."

"Wenren Yu?" Lu Jian blinked his eyes then looked at Wenren Yu. "Are you the disciple of Thousand Hands' Medicine Expert?"

When one became a powerful cultivator, they might sometime give themselves some kind of unique nickname. Many cultivators were not known by their real name but rather their titles that was spread along with time.

Wenren Yu was stunned. "Do you know my teacher?"

"Yes! Don't you remember that you come to Hei Lu Province and visit Lu Family? Back then Thousand Hand's Medicine Expert cure my grandfather!" Lu Jian said in excitement.

Wenren Yu scratched the back of his head. Hei Lu Province… that was already over 10 years ago. He couldn't remember clearly what had happened back then because he was simply too small.

Besides…

"I don't remember."

"Right, where's teacher….?"

"Teacher had passed away," Wenren Yu said in low tone.

Lu Jian, who was about to continue then recalled that Wenren Yu used to be Taiyi Sect Disciple. He knew better than anyone to mention that matter. Slowly, he shut his mouth with solemn expression. 

"You have to be careful. There will be a lot of people who are after your lives."

Wenren Yu smiled. "I know. I'm not that worried now that I'm with him."

They all did have good impression of Lin Xiao after that sudden outburst. However, Lu Jian had better impression now that he heard what Wenren Yu said. After all, to be the disciple of a renowned medicine master yet he acknowledged someone else… hmm, that was quite interesting. 

"Hey, count me in your group!"

They all turned their head and looked at the young woman who came. Lin Yun's body stiffened a bit but he straightened his body and looked at the young woman with slightly bewildered expression.

Lin Xiao was also surprised. "You are…?"

"Fan Ling," the young woman, Fang Ling, replied with a grin. She noticed Lu Jian and snapped, "Don't start with how my family background is good. I know that Fan Family is a big family, but I don't care about it. My dream is to recreate my grandfather's legend and create a powerful organization, enough to rival the royal family!"

Lu Jian's lips twitched. Fan Ling's grandfather's legend was something that many people had heard. He was known to be a very insane person because of his achievement back then. And she… wanted to recreate it?

"There's no way you can do that."

"What? Are you belittling me?"

"No, I mean, it's impossible for you to do it by yourself. Back then, Fan Family grandmaster is not alone when he challenged all the influential family in the capital city," Lu Jian quickly elaborated. He knew that Fan Ling used her fist quicker than her brain, so he needed to elaborate first.

Fan Ling harrumphed. "Of course I know that. Isn't that why I want to join your group? Right, you're Lin Xiao, right? What's your dream?"

"My dream?" Lin Xiao blinked his eyes then looked at the direction of the palace. While they couldn't see it because it was simply too far, everyone knew what was in that direction. He smiled. "I want to sit there."
