Mysterious Shender
⁇ : Xi Wei's Little Wish in the Bamboo Grove

Finished enjoying his lunch, Maorong asked Xi Wei, "Xi Wei, when do you have any plans to leave here? If you leave, can you take me with you?"

Xi Wei thought for a while, then he said, "I'll take Uncle. I can't leave Uncle alone here. But, come or not it's all Uncle's choice."

Xi Wei continued, "I am a very sensitive person. I only hope for one thing: Uncle doesn't burden me when I'm 'starting the hunt'."

Maorong did not quite understand Xi Wei's words about 'starting the hunt'. It was a little strange figure of speech! Yeah, weird.

"My point is I like to do hunts that risk lives" Xi Wei said. He made Maorong shiver a little.

Similar to His Majesty Emperor Xi Chen, Maorong thought. His hesitation drifted to the moment he was still the Vice General of Nan Xi's camp. He and the Great General often accompanied Xi Chen to go hunting. And, the hunt is also not kidding. He could only gawk at the sight of Xi Chen killing the Giant Black Immortal single-handedly.

"This is a bamboo forest," muttered Xi Wei. He looked towards Maorong then asked, "Is there a small cave here? I want to go hunt something."

Maorong initially did not understand why Xi Wei wanted to search for a small cave in such a vast bamboo forest. Then, he also realized one thing: if it looks like the young man with a mature brown skin will hunt the Queen of the insect race called Firefly Blue Fire.

Maorong directly banned Xi Wei, "You can't go there at all!"

"So Uncle knows in this bamboo forest there is a small cave where the Blue Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire, don't you think?" ask Xi Wei.

Xi Wei spoke while honing a small stone to form an arrowhead. He looks very relaxed. There was no fear implied or expressed in his bead of eyes that was as beautiful as the light of the dawn. Maorong until made a headache by him.

"But you can't go there! You don't know how dangerous that place is. You can't get there" Maorong said insisting on not allowing Xi Wei to go there.

Xi Wei clucked in annoyance. "Uncle!" he shouted while looking at Maorong with a sharp look. "If Uncle doesn't want to and doesn't allow myself to go there, then I should go too. I know Uncle is worried about my safety. But, I can guarantee my own safety. If Uncle isn't sure, Uncle can come and watch."

Maorong would naturally not be able to resist Xi Wei. The young man and his father were the same: their edict was absolute, not to be contested if they did not want to get into trouble.

Maorong gave up and said, "I'll take you there. But, on one condition: I hope that you will stop if you are already unable to fight the Queen of the Blue Firelight Firelight Fire. Otherwise, I'll never take you there."

Xi Wei let out a long breath. I certainly won't be able to accept the offer to stop before getting what I want. I could lie, he thought.

"Alright, alright. I will keep my promise with Uncle not to force myself if I am already unable to fight those insects" Xi Wei said.

Of course what Xi Wei promised was just a lie. He could not help but escape from the hunt he had started.

Xi Wei was a little upset that she was again a reflection of Xi Chen. It seemed like he could not live a quiet life if Xi Chen really had not disappeared. But there is a term that mentions that the falling fruit will not be far from the tree, he felt that the term is very appropriate to describe himself and Xi Chen.

Although Maorong was slightly suspicious of the agreement that Xi Wei had mentioned, he still had to bring the young man to the place: a small cave inside the bamboo forest. He also could not refuse Xi Wei's request of it. He knew that Xi Wei was as stubborn as Xi Chen. He simply did not want to be humbled by Xi Wei.

Maorong asked, "When do you think you want to set off towards the interior of the bamboo forest in search of the Blue Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Firelight?"

"Now."

"Ba-what?! Now?!"

Maorong immediately glared at Xi Wei because the young man said something very unexpected. He immediately said, "No! You absolutely must not go hunting without careful preparation!"

"This is a mature preparation," Xi Wei said as he lifted the bow and arrow he made himself. He had already inserted Magic Spells into the two things he was going to use. He also carried his twin swords.

"That land, isn't it the arrow of Great General Wang Wanqian?" maorong asked a little surprised.

"Don't you know who made this arrow, Uncle? Do you think I'm just a snot kid who can't do anything about it?" Xi Wei asked Maorong.

"You…? You're the one who made this arrow?"

Maorong looked in disbelief with Xi Wei.

"I'm a practical person, Uncle. Does Uncle want a gun? I can make it as Uncle wants. But not now."

"You can even create Magic Spells?"

"I can do what my father can do. He can concoct pills? I can Acupuncture Technique. He can Taiyun Palm Technique? I can the Kurong Technique. He can distinguish medicine and poison? I can do it too! He's the number one craftsman? Then I was the number one craftsman after his generation. I can do what he can do! I won't lose to him in any way. It will never!"

Maorong admired Xi Wei's similar nature as Xi Chen. There was nothing to be afraid of when the two of them were around. According to him, the two of them were extremely terrifying figures, but at the same time were also very impressive.

"Now is my generation. No, now it's our generation. We will prove to the world that we will never lose to previous generations" Xi Wei said.

Maorong could see the flames of spirit through beads of eyes that were as beautiful as the light of the dawn. He was excited too.
