Endless Systems
Chapter 05

The day had changed and the day that became the time of the power exhibition had arrived. Liu Shan who was in his room also glanced out of the room and got the hallway of his house which looked like a servant was walking alone.

He whispered to the waiter from inside the room.

“Pssst! Hey, you!”

The maid turned around and realized she was being called by her young master. He immediately approached Liu Shan and bowed respectfully to him.

“Young master, Xiao nian is facing you. What's calling Xiao nian?”

“Mother, father and my sisters. Have they all gone to the power show?”

“Already young master. They had left a few minutes ago”

“Good then!”

Liu Shan immediately opened the door and walked out of the room wearing his special clothes first to practice and carry a brown robe in his hand. Although Xiao nian was only a servant of the Liu family, he who saw his young master change clothes looked a little confused.

“Xiao nian, please help me not tell anyone that I went out” Liu Shan whispered by putting one of his index fingers in front of his lips

However, Xiao nian as a servant who was ordered like that looked a little scared. Because he was previously given a message by Shen Tian, the mother of Liu Shan to keep Li's residence together and also his young master, Liu Shan.

Before Liu Shan walked further from the passageway, Xiao nian called out to him while bowing respectfully.

“Tu-young master. Please forgive me, but please hold on for a moment!”

The call from Xiao nian made his footsteps stop and Liu Shan immediately turned his head back towards him.

“What's up?”

“Sorry for the sassness of Xiao nian, young master. However, the madam had ordered Xiao nian to keep the young master from getting hurt. If the young master goes out and is disturbed by the residents outside, then..”.

What Xiao nian said was quite logical to Liu Shan. Everyone now only knew that he was a weak young master who could only take refuge on behalf of his own family. Moreover, if he came home even injured and seen by his mother, then Xiao nian would receive punishment.

Liu Shan understood the meaning of the remark. However, he could not stop there and tried to convince Xiao nian.

“Xiao nian, lift your head”

The servant raised his head as ordered. And when he looked towards his master, suddenly a powerful Ki energy felt like a gust of wind that shook his soul and body.

Both of Xiao nian's eyes opened wide and his body froze in silence. Not a single gust of wind felt as normal as that. And since there was only Liu Shan standing in front of him, Xiao nian immediately learned that the aura of Ki was being expelled by him.

Liu Shan only smiled faintly and hoped for Xiao nian to believe him.

“Do you believe me now?”

Xiao nian looked down respectfully at him.

“Xiao nian believe! Young master, please be careful on your journey”

“Thank you, Xiao nian”

After gaining the trust of his servant in the abilities he displayed, Liu Shan immediately turned around and went to where the power exhibition was held.

On the other hand, Xiao nian who saw the departure of his young master was seen smiling happily while looking at the bright sky in the morning.

“Mrs, sir. Young master has returned”

Right in the middle of the city Feng who was organizing the power exhibition was visited by many people. How not? An event held every year with visits from several large families and also famous cultivation academics, namely Liliang Academy.

Everyone would definitely come to the event to watch the young cultivators show their fangs inside the arena.

On the west side of the seat, there was Shen Tian, along with her husband, Liu Hanbei. And also his two daughters, Liu Ming and Liu Siyue. The youngest sister looks agitated by turning left and right expecting Liu Shan's promise to come to the event.

“Uuhh... Where's sister? The show will start a little more!”

Liu Ming's whispering voice to himself made Liu Siyue who was sitting next to him turn her head towards him. A beautiful girl who has the same eye color as her sister. A charming face and a body that had beautiful curves, as well as long brownish black hair that was very graceful fluttered made the eyes of men around fixed on him.

“What's up, Mingming?”

“Eh?! N-no brother. Just a little relieve the nervousness just”

Mingming, who recalled that Liu Shan had intended to give him a surprise, tried to find an excuse to avoid suspicion from Liu Siyue.

However, Liu Siyue who heard her sister said she was nervous about stroking her head.

“Mingming, no need to be nervous. You are my great brother, surely you can make the people here amazed!”

“Hehe! Thank you kak”

Seeing Mingming smiling sweetly in front of him, Liu Siyue who was anxious towards him pinched both of his cheeks and toyed with him.

“Aaw~ Mingming, my little sister. You're too sweet, brother won't let anyone take you!”

“Ka-sister! Stop it, my cheek will turn red if it is pinched like that!”

The two joking girls were gently reprimanded by her mother and father who were sitting a little higher behind her.

“Two of you, listen to your mother's words” Liu Hanbei continued

“Good...” both girls said.

The two girls stopped to joke. And suddenly, a group of people came and sat far away across the arena the Liu family was sitting in.

Liu Siyue who looked ahead, saw a girl who looked very charming with her hair pink and long description looks very harmonious with her dress and skin as white as milk.

However, Liu Siyue did not look dazzled at all. He even showed an annoyed look towards the girl and gritted his teeth violently as if he had a huge grudge.

Mingming who saw the look on his brother's face was so scary even tried to ask.

“Kakak? What's up?”

“Mingming, look in front of you!”

As Mingming looked ahead, he saw the same girl with Liu Siyue's eyes on her. And just like her brother, Mingming's eyes and countenance turned irritated at the girl.

Wh why?

Because the girl was their older sister's former fiancee, Xu Xiao. A talented girl from the Xu family, as well as the youngest cultivator to occupy the level of a three-star senior fighter at the age of 19 during last year's power exhibition.

Originally, Liu Shan and Xu Xiao were in a matchup as the two of them often met, played, and even practiced cultivation together. However, when Liu Shan lost all of his strength, Xu Xiao turned a blind eye to the engagement and cut ties with Liu Shan.

When they saw the girl coming back in their eyes, the feeling of anger was just something that could describe the overflowing emotions within her two sisters.

“He was-!” murmured Liu Ming

“Iya. She's the girl who dumped sister when sister was in trouble!” grouse Liu Siyue

Those gazes of their eyes were clearly visible and even felt by Shen Tian. He gently held the heads of his two daughters and tried to calm them down.

“Liu Siyue, Mingming. Be nice, this is in the middle of the show. Don't add enemies”

Liu Siyue who became the eldest daughter there, turned her head and felt disapproval of her mother.

“But ma'am, that girl has hurt sister so deeply! How can I-!”

With a faint smile and putting one index finger in front of her lips, Liu Siyue was silent when her mother did so.

“Most importantly, now your sister is fine. He needs you, and therefore do not make him worry by adding enemies”

“Ba... alright...”.

“Welcome everyone, at the annual event of the Feng city power exhibition! This year will be the same year to show the fangs of the young cultivators in this city! Including also, those who can provide surprising and attention-grabbing things, will get the opportunity to be invited into the Liliang academy!”

Said one host while directing everyone's eyes to a throne occupied by a charming woman with bright blue hair. That woman was Qing Yao, the head of the student organization of Liliang academy.

Qing Yao stood up from her throne and gave a cheering greeting to the young cultivators who were about to participate.

“All young cultivators and ladies and gentlemen. I, Qing Yao will be the representative of the Liliang academy this year. As you all know, the Liliang academy has quite a well-known reputation in producing talented cultivators. Of course, we want to keep it”

“And therefore, I came as a representative here to witness the abilities of the young cultivators. Unleash all your abilities, and enter Liliang academy to become stronger!”

“WAA!! WAAA!!”

Cheers from the audience and the participants who attended exclaimed at the opening of the event. Without lingering, all participants were summoned one by one and advanced into the arena to place their palms on a gigantic stone that had ancient Chinese carvings inscribed, and then placed them, ‘Gengzhong’ or called ‘Cultivation’.

“Five-star junior fighter!”

“Four-star junior fighter!”

“One-star senior fighter!”

The male host exclaimed at each participant who finished showing the cultivation level of the young cultivators who were between the ages of 16 and 18. The power exhibition event had already begun to enter the stage where the spectators wanted an uproar from a young cultivator of a higher level.

And the time position was very appropriate, because the one called at that time was Liu Shan's younger brother and Liu Siyue, Liu Ming.

“Currently, young lady of the Liu family. Please go forward!”

Liu Ming who was already in the arena walked up to it and placed his palm right in front of the giant stone.

He took a deep breath and threw it away slowly.

“Fiuuh... sister... look at me!”

A bountiful Ki aura appeared around Liu Ming's body and made one arena feel a gentle breeze from the strongness of the aura.

Woooschh!

And when that aura began to fuse into the gigantic stone, a special engraving was inscribed in front of him and showed Liu Ming's cultivation level.

“Ti-not expected! Liu Ming, the youngest girl in the Liu family has a three-star senior fighter level!” shouted the host.
