A Journey Against the World
Chapter 19

Don't forget the liking

________________________________

After explaining briefly about the matter of the Star village to Lou Yue, Shua Xie thought he would help the Star village a little until their problem was solved. At least Lou Yue being able to train Xiao Ming to be strong from before was enough for him. Lou Yue did not have much to say other than following Shua Xie's will, even though Lou Yue was following Shua Xie at the moment. So where Shua Xie stood there too he stood.

When morning arrived Shua Xie had already started the selection of the person who would represent the match. And selected 3 cultivators who would represent the Xiao family to fight later, the main one is Xiao Ming the grandson of the chief, the remaining 2 were the best cultivators fighters in the Star village. Under the rule of the Xiao and Ye family heads should not fight, only the younger generation is allowed. That requirement made the chieftain and the village higher-ups very upset.

When training was just beginning, a 11-year-old girl suddenly appeared. She was Xiao Mei the younger sister of Xiao Ming. This Xiao Mei was eager to become a strong cultivator to the point of being able to protect her village from any attack.

Xiao Mei had brownish hair with black eyes, she approached Shua Xie full of courage. He had eavesdropped on his family and he was determined to help, so he approached his mother and father and grandfather and asked permission to compete. But they balked at Xiao Mei's request, it was certainly impossible for a child to resist an adult cultivator, whose mere existence was ushering in his own life.

"Sister Shua! Let me join the fight against the Ye family! I'm so eager to help with family matters!" he gets straight to the point. At the same time Shua Xie and the others instantly looked towards Xiao Mei.

"May'er what are you saying! You think we're playing around! Come back home!" Xiao Ming walked up to Xiao Mei and chased her away before Shua Xie spoke.

"No want! I also want to fight to help my family and Brother!" Reject Xiao Mei to a chuckle.

"May'er this is no small matter that a child can join in with! It's an adult problem, now go! You better play with your personal servant!"

Xiao Mei turned her face annoyed, she still chuckled wanting to help. No one can stop him if he is willing. Xiao Mei was indifferent to Xiao Ming's remarks, walking him closer to Shua Xie.

"Sister Shua please accept and train me! I really want to help with family matters!" she was full of seriousness with a cold gaze from Shua Xie.

Lou Yue walked up to Shua Xie and patted him on the shoulder, "Do you want me to give him back to his family?" lou Yue whispered softly to Shua Xie.

Xiao Mei who heard Lou Yue's words immediately prostrated herself in front of Shua Xie, "Please train me Brother!" his firmness violently made the others stunned except for Shua Xie.

Shua Xie was still staring at him coldly making Xiao Mei break out in a cold sweat, right now only Shua Xie was his only hope.

"Your courage is great! But you're still too weak to protect your family. It's best to forget that wish of yours," Shua Xie replied so coldly that Xiao Mei gasped. He had expected that this would happen, but his heart still could not accept the reality.

"Silence and not making troublemakers has become a good rarity. You keeping quiet has been a help to your family, if you come along I don't guarantee you'll live after." Shua Xie continued to make Xiao Mei's feelings mixed between sad, upset, angry, and disappointed.

"But ...." Shua Xie smiled slightly. Saying but making everyone shocked, no one knew what Shua Xie would obey Xiao Mei's request or not.

"But I like your courage. Seeing your determination reminds me of my childhood. I can consider your little wishes as long as you don't charge me. In five days' time you should be able to convince me, but if you don't ever bring up if you want to protect your family again!" Shua Xie again.

Everyone who heard him was very astonished at that moment. It was unexpected that such a cold Shua Xie was willing to train such a troublesome little boy. Xiao Ming was eager to train Shua Xie, but he did not get the chance. After all Xiao Ming greatly admired Shua Xie's strength.

On the other hand Lou Yue only smiled faintly hearing Shua Xie's choice. Lou Yue did not know why Shua Xie wanted to grant the little boy's request, but Lou Yue was sure what Shua Xie had chosen was definitely a good path for the boy.

Xiao Mei looked up at Shua Xie's face full of novelty. Without realizing it her tears flowed, they were tears of happiness. During this time Xiao Mei was very eager to practice cultivation, finally there was someone who would train her even if only for a short while.

Xiao Mei wiped her tears then hugged Shua Xie's waist, "Thank you Big Brother! Thanks you! I'm not gonna laugh at you! Thanks brother!" said repeatedly.

On the other hand Xiao Ming approached Shua Xie wanting to speak but upon seeing Shua Xie was giving him the code he became silent.

'Why would Brother Shua train Mei'er?'

Shua Xie hinted at Lou Yue, Xiao Ming and the others not to interfere with his matter with Xiao Mei. Shua Xie had his own idea to deal with Xiao Mei.

"Lou Yue I will go with this child. You train these three people well, make sure they are strong" Shua Xie said with a nod by Lou Yue.

"You little brother come with me, I want to see how big your potential is. Just courage is not enough to be strong!" Shua Xie continued, taking Xiao Mei away.

Xiao Ming and the others stared at Shua Xie's departure speechlessly again. After Shua Xie had already lost sight, Xiao Ming began to say, "Is it alright to let Little Mei'er join the fight of life and death?"

"Shua didn't say that Xiao Mei could participate in the match no" Lou Yue replied with a smile.

***

Shua Xie took Xiao Mei away to a place of vast grassland. Xiao Mei did not know where she was now but she was not upset because she was beside Shua Xie. As long as he was with Shua Xie he would always be fine.

"Now tell me what spirit training you have? Wind, ice, fire, earth, lightning or water."

"Price spirit training yes. I didn't know what spirit training I had? Brother Xiao Ming has a wind spirit, am I also a wind spirit like Brother Ming?" mumbled Xiao Mei.

Having a dual spirit aura is a rare genius child. Nika's presentation is 100% for cultivators of one spirit, then 20% of the presentation for children who have a dual spirit aura.

There was also a genius child who only had one among the others, who had all kinds of spirit elements. If he was able to train it then it was likely that he could become the strongest, but training all kinds of spirit elements was not an easy thing to do. It takes a long process and a strong perseverance.

Shua Xie sat down cross-legged on the grass then looked at Xiao Mei seriously, "If you don't know then find out! Sit down and look up, feel your own spirit aura then it will appear on the forehead as a spirit tattoo. It's only natural that a girl your age hasn't brought out aurah spirit."

The spirit tattoo was as a symbol of the spirit element of a cultivator, but the spirit tattoo could only be seen by its own owner except for cultivators at the high level. The weaklings would not be able to see the other cultivators spirit tattoos.

Xiao Mei nodded her head in understanding, how she came to follow the orders that Shua Xie had said. Although Shua Xie did not explain it in detail, Xiao Mei had learned all of it from her family's library books.

'It's easy! I can definitely! Don't let Brother Shua down!' Xiao Mei started to take her ascetic seriously.

Shua Xie stared flatly at Xiao Mie, "Feel your life essence spirit. Slowly react and feel, your spirit tattoo will appear on your forehead. Only you can feel it." Shua Xie gave instructions.

Xiao Mei sighed softly, with great care she began to try to sense her own spirit aura. As time went on, from minute to minute hour to hour, Shua Xie was still faithfully waiting for her to ascend. The day had started towards the end of the afternoon but there was no sign of the spirit aurah of Xiao Mei's hermitage.

Shua Xie could only sigh softly, 'Thinking is also impossible for a small child to be able to feel his spirit aura within a day. In general a child of Xiao Mei's age should only think of the world of play instead of the world of cultivation.' Shua Xie's.

In another dimension Xiao Mei was walking somewhere very spacious. He walked for hours but found nothing. Xiao Mei almost gave up on not finding anything. But when on the verge of giving up, suddenly a speck of snow fell on his head.

Xiao Mei looked up and saw that there was a human spirit wrapped in chains. The snow was coming out of the spirit. Xiao Mei was surprised she was not whose spirit sealed it. The longer the snow samlin banyal and until finally the snow had covered the entire body of Xiao Mei.

Several times came the sound of cracks from the chains and walls of the formation sealing the soul.

Cold, that was what Xiao Mei felt at this moment. His entire body felt cold as if he wanted to freeze right then and there. Xiao Mei started rebelling in a pile of snow but for nothing, even the snow hardened and locked onto Xiao Mei's movements.

"What happened to me!?"

Half an hour Xiao Mei was cooped up in a pile of snow he finally gave up on rebelling. His strength was exhausted he used to rebel, and now his body was completely frozen in ice. But Xiao Mei could still feel his consciousness.

'Will I die here?'

***

Shua Xie had just wanted to awaken Xiao Mei from her hermitage. Shua Xie thought it was time for him to bring Xiao Mei back to the village, surely to the two old men Xiao Mei was worried about him a lot. But just as he was about to touch it, suddenly fragments of ice crystals started to come out from Xiao Mei's body, but the process of ice scavenging was very slow.

Shua Xie was so shocked back then, he knew the ice shard was a fragment from Xiao Mei's spirit aura. But even more shocking was the truth of Xiao Mei's spirit aura.

"It turns out he has an ice crystal body. From the divine understanding I have, the ice crystal body is an extremely rare Yin body. The owner of the ice crystal spirit would definitely become the greatest cultivator of all elements, if he got special training. But it seems like the aurah tattoo has already sealed someone!?" muttered Shua Xie while holding his chin.

"Can't be allowed! I have to help him unseal it! I'll put a little bit of formation opening pressure on what I know." Shua Xie approached Xiao Mei and sat right behind her.

Shua Xie touched Xiao Mei's back with both hands, then mentioned one ancient Chinese Latin word. That one word appeared on Xiao Mei's back and began to shine gold. Very carefully Shua Xie poured something into Xiao Mei's body that made the ice crystal flakes work faster than before.

A few minutes passed Shua Xie still continued to help Xiao Mei open her spirit tattoo. But even though Shua Xie had helped her did not know how Xiao Mei dealt with her there. It all depended on Xiao Mei, Shua Xie could only help her from the outside.

The longer Shua Xie got tired, his body felt like it was torn apart by something. Performing the first spirit tattoo seal opening is very energy consuming, let alone the strength of Shua Xie is currently at the limit of his ability. Shua Xie could only continue to force himself until he finally started coughing. Blood flowed from the corner of his lips.

"Can't stop! A little more I can cross my boundaries! Even though this is the first time I use it! It has had such a big impact on me. Now four of my wrecks are already injured, if it continues then others will also be hurt. But if it stopped Xiao Mei would not be able to unseal her spirit tattoo! Damn who the hell sealed Xiao Mei's spirit tattoo!?"
