The Legend of the Guardians of the East Gate
Ch. 24 - The Beginning of the Massacre.

The young man stuffed the hairpin under his cloak, ran towards the public library, and browsed the books for warriors in the early proficient realm. the young man looked for a book that was not in the public library, but in his private library, the young man was eager to give a memorable gift to Wu Xiang Yu, who was not in the library, and as a way to open his conversation.

After all his went well, Xu Guang Zhou now had a book in his hands, and it was already his time that the young man gave a gift to Wu Xiang Yu. And for almost a month Xu Guang Zhou looked for an opportunity to talk to Wu Xiang Yu but never got a chance to be alone, she was always with some female friends or men around her, Xu Guang Zhou was not like Wang Kai who was so confident in facing women even in a crowd, making the young man always undo his intention to speak.

When Xu Guang Zhou was tired of chasing after opportunities, the opportunity finally came to the young man whose body now looked gallant, and the two men finally met in the public library.

Xu Guang Zhou could only be speechless, his chest felt tight, and so wanted to leave the library out of embarrassment, but on the other hand was so happy to see the woman approaching him. Wu Xiang Yu who that day wore a cloak covered because the air was so cold, even though it only showed his tie neck and fingertips, only, but the clothes could not hide the protruding buttocks of the grown woman.

"Sister Xu? did you hear me?" wu Xiang Yu said slightly, his forehead wrinkled because the young man had been petrified for so long.

"yeah..." Xu Guang Zhou slightly flinched making Wu Xiang Yu slightly retreat.

"lady Wu forgive me, I was thinking" said Xu Guang Zhou, who had no other words, all of his conversation exercises that he had planned to look so natural evaporated without a trace.

"thought? oohhh, alright," said Wu Xiang Yu pretending to understand Xu Guang Zhou's intentions and wanting to leave the young man.

Xu Guang Zhou closed his eyes, and cursed his stupidity, and set his breath slowly.

"Wait for Miss Wu, I just want to give this book to you," Xu Guang Zhou said cheeringly as he was finally able to open the conversation, handing over a book.

Wu Xiang Yu stared at the book proffered by Xu Guang Zhou, and looked at the young man deeply, making Xu Guang Zhou's face again strain his mind into blankness.

"book?" little brother Xu in this library has so many books, why are you so bothered?" wu Xiang Yu said as he frowned like he thought of the hidden intent of the young man.

"But alright, since this is your gift, I will accept it, thank you," Wu Xiang Yu said.

Xu Guang Zhou's mind was already empty, no words could come out of his lips for the woman to chat with him, the young man simply nodded, nodding, while staring at the natural swaying from the back of the woman as she stepped away from her.

Not a few away from his a handsome man of about 38 years old who was the most popular young elder among the girls in the Sky Sword Sect approached Wu Xiang Yu, who was a young elder, the two of them looked so familiar, there was the sound of a small laugh from the woman, they looked so harmonious even though Wu Xiang Yu looked slightly taller than the young elder.

"Great Miss Wu, you master the fire element, why borrow the water technique," the man's voice sounded, and was only answered by the giggling laughter of Wu Xiang Yu.

That night Xu Guang Zhou could not close his eyes and was eager to drown the body in the river in such shame.

"I'm really stupid, I don't even know if Wu Xiang Yu is a fire element controller like me, but young Elder Fei, how are the two so famous? they seem to be created to complement each other, aahhh... This is very painful, but how was Miss Wu so different when she was in the river? the woman was like so seductive of me back then, this drove me crazy," inner Xu Guang Zhou roiled all over, and beat the wall on his bed.

Winter passed, all returned to how it was, the five Sect Companions had already returned to their place, Xu Guang Zhou went back through the days by training hard as a special disciple in order to forget his dream with Wu Xiang Yu, but unfortunately not a day could the young man forget the beauty of Wu Xiang Yu's face.

Armed with a worn-out sword given by Elder Zhang now Zhi Yuan was already at the seventh level intermediate swordsman realm, mastering the basic techniques of the blood mist sword book, the, and the technique of lightening the body of a level one snow picker fairy, the sky began to darken a young maid of Zhi Yuan's age came carrying a letter from Wu Huaran with a slight run, a little run, Zhi Yuan had never read the letter and threw it away, this was not the first time he had received a letter from Wu Huaran.

The Golden lotus hill on which the Holy Temple stood, was the highest hill surrounded by other small, steep hills, the distance between the hills creating snow-covered valleys, and a little bit of trees.

About twenty men wearing veils darted from the trees growing on the side of the cliff towards the Sacred Temple, they were people from the group of hungry wolves.

"What's our job this time?" asked one of them to ask someone who ran ahead.

"Our spies in the Holy Temple say that a secret is at the very back of the Holy Temple, no one is allowed to enter her except senior Monks and minions under 15 to the place, so we should know what they're hiding that alone" the front man said.

"Honor the Elder" said Zhi Yuan.

"follow me," said Elder Zhang, stepping slowly towards the edge of the boundary wall to the left of the Temple.

Seen the scenery in very beautiful, the soft rays of the afternoon sun only illuminate the sacred temple while at the bottom of the hill it has begun to darken.

"Are you going to follow the guidance of Great Monk Luo? today you are not going to that place, I give a special task to you, some people have already entered the forbidden area behind this lotus peak hill, he said, they are all cultivators in the upper realm and proficient, your task is to not let anyone into this region" Elder Zhang said.

Zhi Yuan rubbed the sweat on his back neck with the back of his hand, shoulder-length hair tied in a ponytail making his appearance look more mature than his 14-year-old age, the young man nodded at a glance emanating a hint of inexplicable pleasure in his lazy eye.

Elder Zhang stared deeply at Zhi Yuan's face from behind his veil,

"There's no doubt in your eyes, their number is more than 15 people in the realm of top cultivators, isn't this like suicide?" said Elder Zhang who knew that the intruders were still quite far away.

"Chairman, the back cliff is my training ground every day, I know that place rather than this intruder, at least I'll kill two of them," said Zhi Yuan and started tying the sword in his palm with a piece of cloth that resembled a scarf.

"Perhaps three, as long as this sword does not escape my grasp," Zhi Yuan said again and prepared to run towards the cliff behind the Sacred Temple.

"Fighting or being ganged up every day in the Sect made him used to threats, mentally this brat was ready, now it was time for the real test," Inner Elder Zhang.

"Wait for Yuan'er why are you doing this? though you know for yourself you will die if you leave," Elder Zhang asked.

Zhi Yuan looked towards Elder Zhang with a smile, saying,

"I don't know, but this is the command of the Elders, in this world I only believe in you Elders," said Zhi Yuan leaping over the wall and running down the path on the edge of the steep cliff.

"The boy chose to run instead of using his body lightening techniques to conserve his qi energy, just as he had started counting" murmured Elder Zhang, the one standing his left hand behind his waist and his right hand holding a wooden stick.

And an old Monk was already near Elder Zhang,

"Chairman, how do you let that young man become a murderer?" asked the old Monk who was none other than Great Monk Luo.

"If you yourself already know the answer, why are you still asking," said Elder Zhang, who seemed to have known the arrival of Great Monk Luo from the beginning, his eyes behind his veil were still staring at Zhi Yuan's movement on the hillside that was starting to fade.

Big Monk Luo exhaled his long breath,

"Sin is sinful, hemmm. When the sheep offer peace to the bloodthirsty wolf, it is in vain, but the Elder... I know you're a little careless but isn't this overkill?" said the Great Monk Luo.

"hahaha... exaggeration? no little Monk, a lion will not eat grass, and a lion will be a reliable guard when we put it in the right place, say little Monk, he said, how will a lion survive in a vicious world if you keep him captive to adulthood? the lion will forget how to catch the prey" Elder Zhang said.

"You are the Elder, indeed not all creatures should eat grass, although impossible but I still believe in miracles, whatever happens tonight, it happens!! and I don't want my protege to miss his tutelage tomorrow night, make sure you look after the boy," Great Monk Luo said and left the old Temple.

Elder Zhang stared at the departure of the Great Monk Luo,

"what? l-ugalan? hah I don't believe this, does that rancid Monk really know the meaning of the word?" murmured Elder Zhang in an annoyed tone.
