Chapter 163 - 146: Your Hearts are not Sincere (1)_2
“I’m giving you all half a quarter of an hour. If not, I will personally send someone to drive you all out!”
Old Man Lin was exceedingly serious. He must do his utmost in the tasks entrusted to him by Willow God.
“Don’t think I am heartless. Before you go, I will send someone to give you some dry food, as a final assistance from Liu Village.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of the twenty or so young boys and girls around him suddenly changed dramatically, filled with panic.
Old man Lin took note of this, further solidifying his belief in the correctness of Willow God’s decision.
With his many years of life experience, he’d seen more schemes and intrigues than most. Just one look was enough for him to discern the truth.
Snorting coldly, Old Man Lin brushed his sleeves, and without saying another word, turned around and left.
The surroundings fell silent, with everyone wearing different expressions.
“It’s impossible. We disguised ourselves so well, how could we be discovered?”
The girl with the tear stain spoke, her face solemn, bearing no trace of the innocence that should accompany her age, but rather shrewdness and calculation.
She is the granddaughter of the Pavilion Master of Heaven Mending Pavilion. Her reason for joining Liu Village was to take the opportunity to learn Liu Village’s Supreme Technique, in order to take revenge for her grandfather and parents.
As for the people around her, they were all her recruits over this period.
Many of them were core disciples of the Heaven Mending Pavilion, having received many benefits in the past, they had deep feelings for the Pavilion.
“I don’t want to leave Liu Village, I want to go back, I feel happy there. Not only is there enough food and drink, but the uncles and aunts also treat me very well, like their own daughter, wa wa wa…”
A seven- or eight-year-old girl’s eyes turned red and she suddenly sat on the ground and started crying.
The others pursed their lips, feeling some regret. They felt that they had been too arrogant. After all, Liu Village had the genuine protection of the Divine Spirit.
What kind of existence is that? It could easily overturn an ancient country, and wherever it went, no one dared to speak carelessly before it!
How could their little machinations escape such an existence’s eyes!
“Stop crying. Don’t forget you are the granddaughter of Elder Zhuo Yun! Elder Zhuo Yun’s greatest wish in his life is to restore the glory of the Heaven Mending Pavilion. How could you willingly join this place?
We are just trying to survive. Even if Liu Village is extraordinary, we are people of the Heaven Mending Pavilion in life and in death!”
The tear-stained girl interjected, sternly staring at the young girl and spoke indignantly.
“Exactly, Zhuo Yun’er, as nice as Liu Village may be, it’s ultimately not our home. Although the Heaven Mending Pavilion has seen its downfall, we’re still alive and the divine seed still exists. As long as we live, we must strive to rebuild the Heaven Mending Pavilion!”
A boy in a green robe spoke, continually casting gentle, admiring glances at the tear-stained girl as he talked. He was clearly one of her many admirers.
“I just feel that it’s really nice here…”
The little girl called Zhuo Yun’er wiped away some tears from the corner of her eyes and choked out.
“Alright, we don’t blame you. Let’s pack up and search for the divine seed. Once we find the divine seed consecrated by Elder Divine Vine, there’s hope to rebuild the Heaven Mending Pavilion.”
The tear-stained girl took a deep breath, walked over, and gently patted the little girl’s shoulder.
The others all nodded.
Their hopes were pinned on the rebuilding of the Heaven Mending Pavilion.
Because in that battle, they had personally witnessed the return of the founder of the Heaven Mending Pavilion. Just one man, one sword, had made the ferocious beasts of the Nobles retreat in a miserable state.
The group of young men and women were quick to prepare and headed towards the exit of the village.
“Oh, Miss Cai Xia, where are you going? You’re not planning to stay in Liu Village anymore? The outside world can be very dangerous.”
A group of passing aunties caught sight of the tear-stained girl and her entourage, couldn’t help but look at them repeatedly, stopping to call out.
Many went to ask Old Man Lin for the reason.
However, upon hearing that it was a divine decree from Lord Willow God, the faces of the aunties changed dramatically.
Having lived in Liu Village for so long, they didn’t dare to disrespect the Deity of Worship. They knew that although Willow God rarely interacted with them, he was, in fact, a generous and dispassionate being.
He absolutely would not exile villagers over minor issues or talents. After all, Uncle Liu next door was old and unstable, with only a few remaining teeth. What sort of future could he possibly have?
And yet, he had never been driven out by Willow God, and continued to live a carefree and content life.
This could only mean that these individuals had committed serious errors.
“Alright, you should all get going. It’s almost dark, shouldn’t you hurry back to prepare dinner for your husbands?”
Old Man Lin coughed lightly, waved his hand to disperse the crowd, and then
Willow God will impart techniques to the new members tomorrow, and he needs to prepare for this, at the very least, he needs to ensure this matter is well communicated.
The next day, early in the morning, it was just beginning to get light, and the color of the sky was just turning to a fish belly white.
With the dawn still hidden behind the mountains, Old Man Lin led a large group of people towards the back hill area.
Most of them were teenagers around 15 or 16 years old, there were also some young people in their twenties, who were all excited at this moment.
