The Legends: The Tale of Immortality
Chapter 9: Doubt

Si Ying narrowed his eyes and said, "You're not a level 5 cultivator."

BaiLi Yun Xiao remained silent and looked at Si Ying with an apathetic look.

A sinister smile flourished on Si Ying's face. He looked at BaiLi Yun Xiao with a gaze full of desire.

"Your young people are getting more interested in me."

Si Ying sighed and his gaze became affectionate with the gentleness of a lover, "People who can interest me are very rare. I can't bear to put my hand on you, you know?"

"You recognize me and we've also exchanged blows, shouldn't you introduce yourself?"

BaiLi Yun Xiao frowned and slowly said, "Qing Yue, BaiLi Yun Xiao."

"Qing Yue, BaiLi Yun Xiao? So you are the Young Master of the BaiLi clan."

Si Ying's gaze turned surprised. The powerful killing aura slowly thinned out then disappeared. His playful attitude turned serious.

"just fine...So you are from the BaiLi clan in the territory of the dragon race. All right, today's incident was a misunderstanding. I didn't know that you guys turned out to be from the BaiLi clan."

"Si Ying apologized for her disrespectful actions today." Cupping his hands together, Si Ying seriously apologized.

BaiLi Yun Xiao did not expect the aggressive Si Ying to act like this, but he could feel Si Ying's sincerity was not fake. His expression stiffened slightly then slowly softened, "What do you mean? You hurt my members in such a way and said that everything was just a misunderstanding?"

Si Ying laughed softly and replied, "This is really a misunderstanding. If I knew you guys from the BaiLi clan, I would not attack you guys and would instead negotiate directly. It was my fault. As compensation I will be responsible for the recovery of the injured clan member."

The members of the outer branch did not understand how the situation had suddenly become like this. The woman was obviously hostile towards them before, but after learning of BaiLi Yun Xiao's identity, the woman suddenly changed?

"Don't worry, I'll keep to my own words. If

Qing Yue wants an explanation, I can give you an explanation to dispel any misunderstandings. But before that, we'd better take care of the wounded first."

BaiLi Yun Xiao slightly nodded then floated downwards.

The Guards of Guang Ming gathered, "Young Master."

"What about your wounds?" baili Yun Xiao asked as he sent out his spiritual energy to check on the state of the guards.

The twenty Guards of Guang Ming obediently let their Young Master trace their circumstances. BaiLi Yun Xiao handed a medium medicine bottle to one of Guang Ming's Guards and said, "Take your time to recuperate. Before you guys recover, there's no need to keep watch around."

"Thank You, Young Master."

BaiLi Yun Xiao was going to do the same to BaiLi guards Yun Lan and BaiLi Yun Yi, but before he could, he was stopped by Si Ying.

"I've already said that I will be responsible for their recovery as compensation."

BaiLi Yun Xiao nodded then said, "For BaiLi Yun Lan and BaiLi Yun Hua, I will take care of them myself."

Si Ying nodded in agreement.

BaiLi Yun Xiao then brought BaiLi Yun Lan and BaiLi Yun Hua to BaiLi Yun Yi's room.

The innkeeper looked at Si Ying as if staring at a strange person. Si Ying rolled his eyes and asked arrogantly, "What do you see, Little Master? Never seen a beautiful woman before?"

The innkeeper's eyes twitched slightly and he snorted.

"You destroyed the things in this inn, remember the compensation."

"Tsk..." Si Ying ignored the innkeeper and seriously began to examine the injuries of the guards BaiLi Yun Lan and BaiLi Yun Yi.

The guards did not reject Si Ying's actions, even though they were hostile before. But the outer branch group members would certainly not cooperate honestly. Some frowned and looked at Si Ying warily. Some showed their hostility blatantly. And Si Ying himself certainly did not care and continued his actions. It was his fault for attacking others first. He fed everyone a medicinal pill that who knew what it was.

Mu Yin was the one who disliked Si Ying the most. He regarded Si Ying as his rival for BaiLi Yun Xiao, especially after seeing Si Ying's strength and hearing Si Ying's teasing remark to BaiLi Yun Xiao. Many times, he attacked Si Ying verbally, the latter simply ignored him and forced him to swallow the medicinal pill.

Within half an hour, everyone recovered without leaving any hidden wounds. Some people exclaimed in astonishment, some of the more restrained ones did not overreact, they stared at Si Ying with a new look. Si Ying came over and leaned against the table where the innkeeper was sitting. The innkeeper looked at the troublemaking mastermind and said in a bad tone,

"Spending dozens of high-quality pills without blinking, I never knew that you were so generous."

Si Ying raised next to his brows and casually replied, "Conscientious? Eyes problematic. Still, thanks for the compliment."

"Your eyes are troubled! Your ears are also troubled!"

"It's none of your business!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, you bad boy!" Si Ying shook his head and gently struck the innkeeper's forehead.

Innkeeper, "..."

Everyone "..." 'Really less moral! These two people shamelessly teased each other in public!'

Si Ying withdrew his hand and calmly jumped onto the second floor to avoid the anger of the innkeeper. After which he turned around and looked at the innkeeper on the ground floor, "I order one room."

Without waiting for the innkeeper to reply, Si Ying walked towards one of the empty rooms, opened the door, entered, then closed the door. A series of movements were carried out quickly without leaving room for the innkeeper to react.

The innkeeper, 'Bags!'

The twenty Guards of Guang Ming had returned to tend to their injuries. BaiLi Yun Yi and BaiLi Yun Lan's subordinates also returned to their rooms. The group of outer branch members one by one began to return to rest. Tonight's events seem like a joke.

Inside BaiLi Yun Yi's room were two additional bamboo beds that made the room even more crowded.

BaiLi Yun Lan sat down cross-legged and consolidated her cultivation realm on one of the bamboo mattresses while BaiLi Yun Hua slept on the other bed. His face still looked pale, but his breathing was already more stable. BaiLi Yun Yi himself was still in the process of upgrading his cultivation realm and had yet to wake up. The only one who was aware was BaiLi Yun Xiao who was also the guard for the other three people in the room. BaiLi Yun Xiao had kept his sword and gloves. He stood still and watched over the two people who were cultivating and one person who was unconscious.

BaiLi Yun Xiao looked at BaiLi Yun Hua with an unfocused gaze. When he put his spiritual senses into BaiLi Yun Hua's body, he noticed many wounds piling up on that person's body. There were even internal injuries. If BaiLi Yun Hua was an ordinary person who did not cultivate, then he would not have lived until now. Even if he were to survive, his lifespan would be extremely short and even though his body constitution was a little stronger than that of an ordinary human, it was completely useless. What surprised him even more was that he felt a faint familiar strength from BaiLi Yun Hua's body.

BaiLi Yun Xiao had holy blood flowing in his body, something very rare in the world. He was well aware of the power of people born with holy blood. BaiLi Yun Hua was a mixed-blood person who had the blood of the four races flowing in his veins. It was a thing that everyone in the dragon race knew, but...

Could he actually be a saint blood?

It shouldn't be possible.

BaiLi Yun Xiao lowered his gaze and looked at his hand. If BaiLi Yun Hua was a saint blood, why would no one be able to detect him when he was born? Moreover, he had lived for seventeen years in the BaiLi clan. Although he had always been exiled, it was impossible for no one to be aware of the strength in his body.

And the most important factor was that if BaiLi Yun Hua was truly a saint blood, then there was no way she would become this weak and her talent would definitely be so high. BaiLi Yun Xiao thought of enough factors to refute his speculation, but if a seed of doubt had been planted then it would continue to grow and take deep root in one's heart. While BaiLi Yun Xiao was in an inner struggle, the sleeping BaiLi Yun Hua actually secretly sensed the surroundings. He felt BaiLi Yun Xiao's gaze continue to be glued to him for quite a long time and began to feel doubtful.

Could BaiLi Yun Xiao have realized something?

But even Clan Head BaiLi was unaware of any problems within him. Although BaiLi Yun Xiao was strong, he was not yet strong enough to surpass the clan head. BaiLi Yun Hua's thoughts were not wrong, but she had forgotten something not very important but had actually become a very important key. The ability of the holy blood belonging to BaiLi Yun Hua could disguise everything related to his body. Even if one were to explore his body with their spiritual senses, he was not afraid of being exposed.

But...

What if the person also has holy blood? What more is their power above her? A person with holy blood was too rare in this world. It is generally only present in legends. In the entire region of the dragon race, only BaiLi Yun Xiao was born with holy blood and became the only holy blood for thousands of years. Five thousand years ago, the BaiLi clan once produced one holy blood. That ancestor had reached the immortal realm and ascended to a higher world. After that there was no more holy blood for thousands of years until the birth of BaiLi Yun Xiao.

The Yue Clan also had a holy blood, Yue Qing Ye, BaiLi Yun Xiao's best friend and cousin. As far as he knew only these two people were born with holy blood. Of course, he himself was actually also a saintly blood, but unfortunately the world did not know about it and he also did not intend to let others know about it.

A saintly blood indeed possessed extremely terrifying talents and abilities, but the danger received was also immense. BaiLi Yun Xiao was said to be extremely warm and gentle-hearted, but who did not know this excellent person had gone through various life-threatening dangers? Except for a fool who only cared about the outer charm alone, as long as one thought a little deeper, they would be aware of this fact.

After the information of the appearance of a holy blood then the person if not hunted for personal benefits will be eliminated. If a saintly blood was a little naive, the person was destined to vanish without a chance to thrive. Even though he lived in seclusion for so many years, he still knew some information.

For example, when BaiLi Yun Xiao was born and his information was known to clans from other races, many assassins visited the newborn. Another example is when BaiLi Yun Xiao was two years old, one of her caregivers turned out to be a spy from another clan and she almost became a corpse in the middle of the night.

When he was five years old he was once lost when out, even though he had a collection of the clan's elite guards protecting him. His disappearance was caused by a mad alchemist with a high cultivation level who caught him and almost made him a pot of medicine.

When he was seven years old, he again experienced an attempted murder that put him in a coma for months. There were many more life-threatening dangers that BaiLi Yun Xiao was experiencing. If not for his strong determination and the clan that continued to protect him tightly, he would not have been able to survive.

All of this information is an open secret that everyone knows. Yue Qing Ye also experienced a similar level of danger.

That was why BaiLi Yun Hua chose to lower his sense of existence and pretend to be trash. He had no desire to be pursued by the entire world. Being bullied every day is better than worrying about life threats every second.

Currently he had been cultivating up to level 2 discreetly without any external help. His cultivation was quite low as he had various wounds added every day which caused his body to be quite damaged and resulted in slowing down his cultivation speed. Perhaps he should thank BaiLi Yun Xiao for helping him heal some of the old wounds on his body. After this, his cultivation speed would increase.

BaiLi Yun Hua quite hated the BaiLi clan and the branches of the BaiLi clan. He will never forget the person who hurt him. Except for BaiLi Yun Yi and BaiLi Yun Lan, he did not have a good impression for the others, including BaiLi Yun Xiao.

One of the people he had to watch out for was BaiLi Yun Xiao. He could not believe this person had no ulterior motive. People who have been through hell for many years, it is no longer possible to have a white heart. That was what he believed because he himself was not a good person either.

Sometimes, people who are too smart like to apply a swirling mindset and eventually fall into a hole dug by themselves.

BaiLi Yun Xiao and BaiLi Yun Hua each had their own thoughts walking on different paths.

As the two of them were in their respective dilemmas, the energy fluctuations around BaiLi Yun Yi increased and slowly calmed down. At this moment, the young man who had closed his eyes for quite some time, woke up from his condition.

BaiLi Yun Xiao smiled, "Congratulations, you have broken through to level 5."
