Chapter 31: Gathering

The representatives will come?

Lin Xiao's eyes narrowed. This village was located at remote place, so it was not weird that it would take a few days for the messengers to reach the sect. However, for them to only arrive after two months only signified that this was not the only village who reached out.

They might have been queueing for some time before it was their turn.

'They're finally here.'

"I understand."

"The… the elders also say to behave," the young man said hesitantly. He knew full well that Lin Xiao was the opposite of what a behaving young man would be. No one who heard the name Lin Xiao would know that he was a complete troublemaker who only knew how to mess around.

"Don't worry. I know what to do."

The young man was still worried, but he was only a messenger. After bidding farewell, he returned back to the village.

"Huh? Behaving?" Lin Xiao snorted. He had realized that the elders' words back then were true. Taiyi Sect was indeed destroyed, but it still didn't mean that he was happy with the elder's decision to switch allegiance so quickly.

But in other perspective, it was only a meant of survival.

In this wilderness, with no one to rely on, they have no other choice but to find a strong arm to lean on.

Returning back home, Lin Xiao told Lin Yun and Wenren Yu about the message that came. He also reminded them that the elders already decided to switch allegiance from the moment they heard that Taiyi Sect was destroyed back then.

"This might be a backwater village, but it's still a place with a lot of people inside," Lin Yun said with a solemn expression. "What do you plan to do, Brother?"

"Me? I'll just be myself and attend the gathering. They're going to welcome the representatives first tomorrow and it meant free food for me."

Lin Yun: "…" is it time to think about food?

Wenren Yu: "…" how carefree.

Lin Xiao chuckled when he saw their expression. He glanced out of the house and shrugged lightly. "There's no point in worrying about what's going to come tomorrow. Since the representatives will come sooner or later, we just need to be ready to welcome them."

"Do you have any plan to join a sect?" Wenren Yu asked timidly. He didn't really like talking about other sects because it would remind him of his sect, Taiyi Sect. Even until now, he didn't manage to gather any news and could only stay low to avoid the probing eyes that he might encounter outside.

Lin Xiao shook his head. "I only have plan to join Taiyi Sect in the past. There's no other sect better than Taiyi Sect in my opinion, so I don't plan to join any other sect."

Raising his head, Wenren Yu looked at Lin Xiao. The pure determination and truth within Lin Xiao's eyes only made him recalled his friends back then. Those who joined Taiyi Sect came from different places, but they have one similarities.

They didn't want to join any other sect but Taiyi Sect.

"How about clothes, Brother?�� Lin Yun changed the conversation.

"Do we even have any other clothing?"

"Ah…"

They only have two set of clothes that they used interchangeably. After Lin Xiao gave his spare one to Wenren Yu, he had bought another one from Shopkeeper Wan, a cheap one. Most of the villagers were not rich either, so there was nothing wrong with them coming with only their everyday clothes.

The three of them discussed and decided that it would be better for Wenren Yu to stay behind while the two siblings joined the gathering. After all, they still didn't expose his whereabouts to the villagers yet.

"Brother, the Primordial Light Night Moss?"

"I'll take it today."

"Don't forget to search for Yang attribute plants."

"Wenren Yu, since your wounds are already healed, you should go and search for the plant today," Lin Xiao said with a smile.

After the first week, Wenren Yu had no more problems walking around and did his activities. He had started to search for herbs in the mountain like what Lin Xiao did, but he didn't manage to climb too far.

While his cultivation rank was higher, he didn't have the same experience as Lin Xiao when it came to gather herbs. As the result, it took him a long time to be able to reach the place that Lin Xiao had marked. So far, the herbs that he gathered were mostly the common ones.

"Fine…"

Wenren Yu sighed. He missed his garden where every kind of herbs were ready and only needed to be tended. Rather than searching herbs from the wilderness like this, he felt as if he was more suited to tend a garden.

…

The next day, the two siblings headed to the village. The other villagers were already cleaned themselves and wore their best clothing as they gathered near the gate. Lin Xiao and Lin Yun tactfully went to the back.

"Tsk, for such an important day, you're still wearing your dirty clothes?" Su Han asked with clear distaste.

Lin Xiao passed a glance. "It's not your business how I dress myself, is it?��

"You're going to make yourself be the laughing stock, Lin Xiao."

"Oh, are you sure it's not you?"

Today, Su Han dressed even grander than before. He was wearing a brand new purple robe while his hair was tailored cleanly. Rather than calling him someone from a backwater village, he looked more like someone from the city.

Lin Xiao sneered. "If they asked us to perform, are you going to fight in that brand new clothing?"
