Li Xiang the Immortal
43 - Protective Wing

Currently Li Xiang, Xiao Xing Fu and Xiao Lei were inside the restaurant that was in Xiling city. Lots of food in front of them.

"Hehehe, because you're with us, so you're paying for all this food, Lei." Said Li Xiang while picking up grilled meat.

Xiao Lei snorted, "I'll just pay for the food I ordered and Fu'er ordered. As for you, you pay for yourself."

"Huh? Why don't you pay for the food I ordered?! You've been eating the food I've been cooking for a few days!" Li Xiang Protest. "So now it's your turn to pay for my food!"

"I did eat the food you've been making these few days. But it's the Fu'er part of the food that's shared with me! While you won't give me the food you made!" Annoyed Xiao Lei. "So the food I ate was given by Fu'er! Not by you! So you pay for your own food. After all, you must have a lot of money."

Li Xiang puffed up his annoyed cheeks, "Sliced."

"I should have said that. You're the cunning fox who used to drain my money until I was scolded by my wife when I came home!"

"Huh? You were scolded by your wife long ago? Bhufft, HAHAHA. You're afraid of your wife and you can't fight back. Then you got kicked out of the house and slept on the street for a night, right? HAHAHA." Ejek Li Xiang's.

Xiao Lei hit the table until the food on it almost spilled. "Curtain, it's all because of you! You're draining my money!"

"Heh, it's because you lost a bet with me. I didn't do anything sneaky at all." Li Xiang shrugged both of his shoulders.

"You said no cunning?! Back then we once bet on who the cultivator would win during the match. It should be that the cultivator I appointed as the one who would win the competition won right then and there! But you intervened and made the cultivator you chose win, so you won the bet! My money ran out so much back then because you were cheating!" Xiao Lei pointed at Li Xiang with an annoyed look.

"Don't blame me. It's called strategy, not cheating! Anyway I can do whatever I want so I can win!"

"There are no rules like that! You just made it up. Just confess if you're wrong!" Xiao Lei hit the table back, making the food almost spill.

"Huh? I'm not wrong. What I did was right. No cheating at all!" Li Xiang came to hit the table.

Xiao Xing Fu clenched his hands. He immediately stood up while hitting the table hard until the table split in half and made all the food on it spill.

Li Xiang and Xiao Lei were shocked. The two simultaneously looked at Xiao Xing Fu. Likewise with other visitors who are surprised by the commotion they make.

"Can't you guys just shut up, huh?! I've wanted to eat since, but you've always bothered me! When the food almost went into my mouth, they spilled into the bowl! I just want to eat quietly! Can't you calm down, huh?! If you want to make a fuss, make a fuss in the middle of the village for everyone to see!" Xiao Xing Fu's breathing went up and down. He was very upset with both. He wondered why the two people who had age over him were even childish and always quarrelling.

"B-well!" Said Xiao Lei and Li Xiang together.

After replacing all the damage and eating with fullness, the three of them came out from inside the restaurant. It was seen that Xiao Xing Fu was still a little annoyed at this moment.

"Come on. Don't keep getting angry like that." Li Xiang said. "I'll give you some candy if you stop getting mad like this." Persuaded it.

"You think I'm a kid who can be bribed with candy?!" The Upset Xiao Xing Fu.

"Grandfather~ don't be mad at grandpa ya~ I'll give you whatever you want for today, my grandson." Persuade Xiao Lei.

Li Xiang closed his mouth. He said as if he wanted to vomit, "Your talk makes me nauseous, old man!"

"Huh? Who asked you what you thought of the way I spoke?" Xiao Lei snorted.

"Well.. You guys stop fighting. Can't you just be quiet for a day?!" Xiao Xing Fu looked at Li Xiang and Xiao Lei one by one.

"Cih, stop. Most importantly your debate won't bother me." The Upset Xiao Xing Fu.

"Are we going to get out of here? Or do we just see this celebration through to the end?" Li Xiang said.

Xiao Xing Fu thought for a moment, "What if we just stay here? I want to know what celebration there is."

Li Xiang nodded. He stopped and approached a passerby nearby carrying a golden cloth. "Excuse me. I'd like to ask. Is there going to be a celebration?"

The residents stopped. So did Xiao Xing Fu and Xiao Lei who had already walked a little further away from Li Xiang. The two glanced back as they saw that Li Xiang was not with them. Afterwards, the two went to the teenager.

The residents smiled kindly at Li Xiang, "Yes. We will hold a festival as a commemoration of the day that our savior, the 'Protective Wing' snuffed out all immortal level cultivators and made the eastern continent safe from their fight."

Xiao Lei frowned, "Protective Wing? Whatisit? I never heard it."

Xiao Xing Fu nodded, "I've never heard of that either."

The resident sighed, "Right now not many people know the history of the 'Protective Wing'. Though it was said when a lot of history wrote about him. But somehow many history books about him disappeared. So not many people know about it."

"What is a 'Protective Wing'?" Xiao Xing Fu said curiously.

"He was the one who had already saved the eastern continent from the fight of the immortal level cultivators hundreds of years ago. They fought for power and eventually there was a prolonged fight. Many places are getting bad effects as a result of them. Not only that, but the residents and weak cultivators were getting their impact.

Back then many cultivators were able to reach the immortal level. More of them are greedy for power. We ordinary people and the cultivators below them couldn't stop that. We can't fight them. Until finally many people who have nothing to do with the fight die.

Then someone stopped all those people by killing all of them, until finally cultivators with immortal stages could be counted fingers on this eastern continent. For us ordinary people and cultivators who are below the immortal stage consider him a protector. Because if the battle of the immortals was not resolved, then the eastern continent would completely be destroyed and more and more people would die. We gave him the nickname 'Protective Wing'.

That's what I know from history. Now maybe the history book is only in a few places in the eastern continent. One of them is in our Xiling village. To remember how it struggled, the village of Xiling made a festival to remember its history."

Xiao Lei and Xiao Xing Fu looked amazed, "He defeated all the immortal cultivators? Justjust wonderful. How strong is he?" Xiao Xing Fu.

The resident shook his head, "Once you know. But we believe that the level is more than immortal. Even though it was hundreds of years ago, but we must still respect it until now. We even made a statue for him in the middle of the village. You can see it.

And for the festival to begin tonight. There will be a show featuring the fight between the 'Protective Wing' with the cultivators. They were amazing, even though the ones playing the role were only ordinary cultivators." He said with pleasure. "You should see it. This festival is held only once a year."

"Wooohh.. Then do you know his identity?" Xiao Xing Fu asked in astonishment.

"No. He always wears a mask. No one knows his face or his true identity. But he has some kind of picture on his neck and as far as we know, he doesn't like it when anyone touches his neck." Answer the inhabitants. "Well, is there anything you want to ask?"

"Where can we read the history books?" Ask Xiao Lei. He also seemed happy and enthusiastic just like his granddaughter. This information is so new to him. Although he was a Patiarch from a respected sect, but he never knew about the history he heard today.

"Ah, we only have 5 in the library. Not just anyone can see it. It was an original book hundreds of years ago. But if you want to see just a copy, there's quite a lot in the library. Even so, the copy book only tells part of it. Not all."

"Ah, so. Thanks information. Sorry to interrupt your time." Xiao Lei smiled.

The resident nodded and smiled, "May you have fun at this festival. See you soon." He left immediately because there were still many things he had to do to prepare for the festival.
