Li Xiang the Immortal
45 - Protective Wing Celebration

Xiao Xing Fu finally chose to continue reading. There are some pages that he has not read. "It's really as true as what that guy said. Protective wings do not like when their necks are touched. But. why?" Mumbled.

"I don't think touching the neck is a problem." Xiao Xing Fu muttered back. "Hm.. Speaking of that, I wondered what was behind his neck bandage. I've never seen his neck without a bandage. Was he hurt from always trying to kill himself?

But. his wound should heal quickly. Because his body regenerated faster compared to others. If it wasn't for the wound, then what?"

Xiao Xing Fu had originally never thought of anything about Li Xiang. He was also never initially curious about the life of his teacher. But for this one, he suddenly became curious. Especially after hearing Li Xiang's age from his grandfather. There was a lot he did not know about Li Xiang. Even the basic things like what he likes, he does not know.

"I think I'm a person who doesn't care about other people's lives." Inner Xiao Xing Fu.

Xiao Xing Fu propped up his chin with one hand. He opened a new leaf in the book, "But the statue in the center of the village was. It was exactly like him."

"Well, I'm glad I didn't tell him." Xiao Lei muttered as he walked the street in the village in search of a suitable inn.

"I was reckless. If only I had told you that. huh.." Xiao Lei sighed. "I don't care if he's gonna kill me. But I don't want him to kill my granddaughter, too. So I'd better shut up and not tell her that."

While walking, Xiao Lei accidentally bumped into someone until that person fell down, "A-ah, forgive me. I didn't mean it." He crouched down facing the person he hit. His expression instantly turned startled when he saw that the person he hit was Li Xiang.

"You-you. are here? What the hell are you doing?" Xiao Lei was about to help Li Xiang stand up. The teenager stood alone first.

"I'm walking the street." Li Xiang said.

Xiao Lei stood up while staring at Li Xiang. He frowned, "Your face is pale. What was? Are you short of water? You okay?"

"Curtain, I'm fine." Li Xiang glanced back, "They are terrifying. I think their amazement and respect are overrated. That's scary." His mind with a pale face.

"I don't think you're okay. Are you sick?" Said Xiao Lei who was feeling a little worried.

Li Xiang shook his head, "No. I'm on business. I'll be gone for a minute. Don't follow me if you still want your legs intact." He immediately left without waiting for Xiao Lei's response.

Xiao Lei stared at Li Xiang's departure, "He's really why? Is he sick? I want to know what's going on with him. But if he finds out I'm following him, then he'll cut off my leg. I better not follow him."

After a few minutes of walking, Xiao Lei stopped. He looked towards a temple. There is the same statue as the one in the center of the village. It's just smaller in size. He could see if there was any incense nearby. There were also many people who looked like they were worshipping him. One by one people put their requests in front of the statue.

"It seems they don't just respect the Protective Wings. But they are more than just that kind of thing. They worship him." Xiao Lei muttered. He also passed away.

A man was currently sitting leaning against a tree that was on the edge of Xiling village. There was no one else but her in this place. His pale face is now improving. "They say 'respect', but they even worship me." Mumbled. It was Li Xiang.

Li Xiang sighed tiredly. His face was pale after seeing what the villagers of Xiling had done. The look on his face right now seemed to say, 'come on, I'm not that good until you worship me.'

"I have to find the whereabouts of the book right now." Mumbled.

When night falls, the festival begins. Everything looks great. Many decorations of gold cloth fabrics, lanterns and flowers are blooming.

This place is quite crowded with people. Some of them are visitors who intentionally or accidentally come to Xiling village during the celebration. There are many food and drink vendors in some parts of the village. Some people sell toys and clothes.

"Where have you been all day?" Xiao Xing Fu.

"I'm just walking the road. After all, it's so boring if I just sit and be quiet." Li Xiang replied lazily.

A man who sold food near the three of them arrived just approached them "Thank you Young Master for helping me earlier. Thanks to Young Master's advice, many bought my homemade meat soup." He smiled happily as he looked at Li Xiang.

Li Xiang stopped. He looked at the seller with a smile, "That's you? Ah, naw. I'm just giving you a little advice. It's good that my advice helps. I'm happy because many bought it."

Xiao Xing Fu and Xiao Lei had stopped since just now while looking at what was happening. They did not seem to understand what the seller was saying. They think the seller may be the wrong person. Because Li Xiang couldn't possibly provide help without rewards.

"Ah, Young Master, thank you for helping me earlier. If Young Master doesn't help, maybe I won't be able to finish my biscuits and thank you for the advice you gave me. Now my biscuits are better. I didn't even think my biscuits would make it that good." Said a female salesman who was also approaching Li Xiang. He looks happy.

Li Xiang looked at the female salesman and smiled, "That's no big deal."

"Ah, they must be the wrong people." Inner Xiao Xing Fu and Xiao Lei flatly.

Yet again, another salesman approached Li Xiang. "Young Master, thank you for helping me pick fruit and helping me make a drink. I was greatly helped by what Young Master gave me. Moreover Young Master also helped me make bread. My taste of bread became even more delicious after Young Master gave me advice." Pleased speech. He gave one basket of bread that looked still warm to Li Xiang, "As a thank you, I want to give this to Young Master."

"I also want to give you this, accept Young Master." Said the salesman who first approached Li Xiang. He offers 1 serving of meat soup.

"I also want to give you this, thank you again Young Master." The female salesman thrust a basket of biscuits at Li Xiang.

"Hahaha, thanks. I'll take it. You guys are so good." Li Xiang picked up a meat soup and a basket of bread. "Hey, please help me take her. Why are you guys quiet?" He looked at Xiao Xing Fu and Xiao Lei.

The three merchants also stared at the two people who were stared at by Li Xiang.

"It must be just my imagination." Xiao Lei muttered.

"Why are you guys quiet? Please help me." Li Xiang said back.

Xiao Xing Fu went straight to Li Xiang. He helped bring a basket of bread that his teacher held. "Hah.it seems impossible 3 people at once wrong people. But it's still hard to believe."

Li Xiang smiled. He took a basket of biscuits that were placed on him. "Thank you everyone. I'll take this."

The three sellers nodded and smiled, "Thank you. Then we should go back. Because we have food we have to sell." The three bowed their bodies and went straight to their respective sales places.

Xiao Lei started to approach the two, "You really helped them? Without..reward?"

Li Xiang shrugged both shoulders and smiled obliquely, "That's how. Why why?"

"Hard to believe. You will help someone if they reward you. But now you've arrived to be good. What's up?"

"There's nothing." Li Xiang handed Xiao Lei a basket of biscuits, "You bring that." He walked first. "I haven't been at the festival for long. But I've got free food, it's delicious.." Li Xiang smiled. He glanced back, "Don't eat. I'll eat it all."

Xiao Xing Fu who was about to eat the bread instantly stopped, "Why? I just want to eat one." Keto. "After all, I helped you bring it."

"Can't!"
