Jade Dragon Swordsman
Piqued
Nien Chu returned to his inn, and found that his father had been in the inn he had been in all this time.
"Dad is back?" nien Chu asked and approached the father.
"Dad is home" replied the father, expanding his smile.
"The Tang merchant has given us a place to live and we can already die tomorrow, besides the Tang merchant has also registered you in the 4 big family competition which in the near future will be held.
My son, the Tang merchant is a good person and cares for us, and I want you to be able to give the best results, so that the Tang merchant does not in vain give that opportunity to you, and does not give that opportunity to some young people who still have family ties with the Tang family," said Nien bao.
"Why does the Tang merchant know if I want to participate in the tournament that will be held in Wutang city this father?" asked Nien Chu.
"I've told you everything that's happened to us, and how the Nien family kicked us out so much that the Tang merchant is so concerned about it.
With confidence in you, the Tang merchant then registered you as a representative of the tang family who will compete in the competition held by 4 large families" replied Nien bao.
"I will do my best in that competition Father, and I will do my best to win every fight I have" said Nien Chu.
"You are indeed a hopeful young man in the future, who you will certainly boast of your father" said Nien bao.
To the next day, after finishing packing all his belongings, Nien bao invited his son Nien Chu to go to his new home given by the Tang merchant, and the house was still within the neighborhood of the Tang merchant's extended family.
Nien bao, who is currently the right-hand man and confidant of the Tang merchant, was specially invited by the Tang merchant to have dinner with his family.
And that night Nien bao invited Nien Chu to come to dinner with the Tang family. Actually, Nien Chu did not want to participate in the dinner, but the father's insistence that he come with him made him unable to avoid or evade, and in the end he also went to the main room of the Tang family.
At the dinner table, the Tang merchant had sat down with his wife, and his two children named Tang Hao and Tang Yin.
Both the sons and daughters of the Tang merchant were still the same age as Nien Chu, so the Tang merchant then introduced the two sons and daughters to Nien Chu.
The dinner was interspersed with laughter from the Tang and Nien bao families, which made the atmosphere at the dinner table lively.
After no conversation had taken place after the two sons of the Tang merchant's daughter had first left the room, the Tang merchant then said to Nien Chu.
"My son Tang Hao will go to practice with a teacher I have trusted, to be able to hone the level of strength he has, and make him a formidable cultivator in the future, he said, so that he can continue the effort that I have been raising.
After Tang Hao's departure followed the teacher I had believed in, Tang Yin my daughter would be alone and no one would look after her while she was traveling out of the house, I need you to look after my daughter while she's out of the house and protect her in case something goes wrong.
Nien Chu had always been Tang Hao who guarded his sister when outside the house, because of Tang Yin's hard character and did not want to budge, I was so deadly because the brother had not been with him.
Nien Chu I will pay you to protect my daughter, and I hope you will accept this duty from me" said merchant Tang Hao.
For a moment Nien Chu glanced at the father who was nearby, and Nien bao knew the meaning of his son's glance which meant Nien Chu wanted approval from him by the Tang merchant's request to his son.
Nien bao instantly nodded his head slowly, which meant if Nien bao agreed to the Tang merchant's request.
Seeing the father agree with the words of the Tang merchant, it made Nien Chu then say.
"Good.., I love a young man like you, Nien bao you're really very lucky to have such a reliable son like this" said the Tang merchant.
In the end the conversation at the dinner table ended, and Nien bao and Nien Chu returned to the house that the Tang merchant had given him.
The next morning, Nien Chu went to see Tang Yin.
"Young lady I was assigned by your father to look after the young lady, meaning from today I will be near the young lady" said Nien Chu.
"What's? how can my day be with you, dear and smelly young man, I will ask my father to keep you away from me" Tang Yin said with a body language that was so demeaning to Nien Chu.
Hearing that insult Nien Chu's blood boiled and made his body tremble withstanding anger. "If it wasn't the kindness of your father that made my family indebted to the Tang merchant family, there would be no way I would want to be around you, miss, and remember one thing young lady, even if I'm a little girl, but that insult from you, that I won't want to hear a second time, because only a person who has no heart and no feelings can say that" said Nien Chu.
Tang Yin gasped at Nien Chu's words that were like opposing him, and with a single shout that came out of her mouth to smash at Nien Chu, she said, then the dozens of guards present in that place directly charged towards Nien Chu.
Nien Chu, who did not want anything to happen to him, quickly put up a fight until the fight happened.
The Tang and Nien bao merchants who saw the fight from a distance just stayed in place, they both wanted to witness for themselves Nien Chu's ability in fighting.
After seeing the abilities Nien Chu displayed, the Tang merchant became even more convinced that Nien Chu was able to compete with the participants in the martial tournament to be held.
In that fight, Nien Chu, who did not know the whereabouts of his father and the Tang merchant, immediately released the technique he had been training all this time, which was a shadow step.
Nien Chu suddenly disappeared from sight, and knew the guards who attacked him instantly collapsed and could not rise again.
Flashbacks
Nien Chu used shadowy steps until his movements were so light and fast, by flowing the power that was centered on his fists, Nien Chu struck dozens of guards until in an instant dozens of guards had been sprawled on the ground.

"What technique does your son use, Nien bao, make it so hard for my eyes to see his movements?" ask the Tang merchant.
"I also don't know that technique because my son has been studying with you for a strong cultivator, making it like this" Nien bao replied.
The Tang merchant nodded his head slowly, and understood the words from Nien bao.
"We leave here, let them both solve the problem, as well as an event for them to get closer to each other," said merchant Tang as he passed from that place followed by Nien bao behind him.
"Young lady, don't you ever do anything like that, by having the guards beat me up, can you see the guards hurt by your actions?" asked Nien Chu.
Tang Yin was speechless, she did not expect that the young man before her was so formidable in the face of the dozens of guards who were told to beat up Nien Chu. In order to dispel the embarrassment with the defeat of his guards, Tang Yin then said.
"I want to get to the market, and you can follow me from behind and remember to keep your distance so that people don't know if I'm walking with you" Tang Yin said as she walked away from Nien Chu.
"What.!?, with the ease of this matter being solved in this way, you haughty and arrogant woman someday I will repay you and teach you how to appreciate someone," inner Nien Chu with annoyance in his heart.
