The Legends: The Tale of Immortality
Chapter 1: BaiLi Yun Hua and BaiLi Yun Xiao

"Have you heard the news, last night in the Jia Family there was a strange case of theft."

"Oh, last night's theft. I have heard it too, now this news must have been spread everywhere. Surprisingly, thieves don't steal treasures but instead steal people?"

"Who knows what the thief is thinking. The person they stole was the slave that the Jia Family bought. Just a slave, why bother like this?"

"The problem is not whether the thief is stealing people or property. The Jia Family residence was heavily guarded by guards who on average were rare level 2 cultivators. The thief could steal people in the Jia Family Residence unnoticed by the people of the Jia Family, which meant that the thief was an expert! Even City Owners who were level 4 cultivators were unable to do this."

"Could that thief be a higher cultivator than the City Owner?"

"There's a possibility. Otherwise, how could the thief steal people casually."

"Hopefully the thief did not set his eyes on us ordinary humans."

" Tsk! How come? What do we have?"

"Don't forget, the slaves of the Jia Family are ordinary humans as well."

"..."

The two people who were gossiping were unaware that all of their words fell into the ears of a black-robed person behind them.

The appearance of this all-black person was actually inconspicuous because in this era, various creatures from different races of life mixed in on this continent. Even though technology has advanced greatly, they still follow their culture. So even if you see a suspicious figure that closes itself from head to toe, people will only think that it is the culture of the person.

The black-robed person stood up and left a bag of crystal money on his desk and walked out of the restaurant quietly.

When the waiter came to clean the table, he was shocked by the money bag on the black-robed person's table.

"The guy just ordered porridge with salted vegetables and tea, this money is too much."

The waiter looked here and there but did not find the whereabouts of the owner of the money. Finally the waiter brought the money and reported it to the restaurant manager.

The black-robed figure walked down the street and heard some people discussing the same topic. In the middle of the road, suddenly there was the sound of screaming, "Side!"

Everyone stepped aside to the side after noticing that the shout was coming from the carriage coachman of the Jia Family. The horse that pulled the carriage of the Jia Family was a kind of demonic beast. This horse's running speed was many times faster than an ordinary horse.

Upon seeing someone ignoring his warning and blocking his way, the coachman grumbled unhappily and shouted, "Keep away if you don't want to die!"

As if deaf and blind, the black-robed person continued his steps calmly. The people who saw this thought that the black-robed figure would be finished because the Jia Family carriage would not stop just for ordinary people like them. But when the carriage was three meters in front of the black-robed person, the voice of a girl floated out from inside the carriage.

"Stop the train."

The driver who heard the order stopped the train in time when they were only one meter away. The curtain on the train window opened and a girl stuck her head out. The girl looked at the black-robed person and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry for us for scaring you. Can you give us a way?"

The girl inside the carriage did not know whether the black-robed person was female or male and how old the person was, so she could only call the black-robed person with the call 'you'.

The black-robed figure fell silent for a few pauses before shifting sideways in silence. The girl inside the carriage again smiled with gratitude even though she did not know if the black-robed person saw her smile, "Thank you."

After that the curtains were lowered.

"Run the car."

After the train went far, people resumed their activities.

The black-robed person slightly smiled and muttered something that only he could hear, "At least not everyone in the Jia Family knows no manners. If it wasn't for that girl, tonight maybe I'd go back to visit the Jia Family."

The black-robed person walked into the dark alley and his figure was slowly swallowed by the darkness.

......................

The Dragon Race Region.

Baili Clan.

"Young Master, these are the names that will apply to Luo Xing Academy."

A white-robed young man in an old-fashioned china model along with his long hair that was loosely seared, was sitting and painting on wide paper. His brushstrokes fell gently on the paper accompanied by black ink spreading slowly on the paper and creating a waterfall painting that looked real.

The young man put the brush on the brush stand gently, then smiled at the person who brought the list.

"Sorry to trouble you."

"This is my duty."

The white-robed young man was none other than the oldest young master of the BaiLi clan,

BaiLi Yun Xiao's.

BaiLi Yun Xiao smiled slightly and took the name list scroll from the bodyguard's hand and opened it. Upon seeing the names on the scroll, the white-robed young man slightly frowned.

"If I'm not mistaken to remember, there's someone in the clan named BaiLi Yun Hua. He should have turned seventeen by now and it was time to enter Luo Xing Academy."

The bodyguard became a bit awkward after hearing that statement.

"The young master..."

"Jia Ruo was twenty-two years old and she should have been expelled from Luo Xing Academy three years ago. Why is his name on the list?"

BaiLi Yun Xiao's tone was very relaxed as if he was commenting on the weather today, but the bodyguard carrying the name list scroll had already started to break out in cold sweat.

The bodyguard did not dare to offend his Young Master so he spilled all the truth.

"That's...The Jia Family bought BaiLi Yun Hua's place because BaiLi Yun Hua was considered ineligible to apply to Luo Xing Academy."

BaiLi Yun Xiao lifted his gaze from the scroll and looked at the bodyguard in front of him seriously.

"Who said it? If BaiLi Yun Hua was not qualified would that mean Jia Ruo fulfilled it?"

"The Jia Family is just an outer branch. What made them have the right to deprive the members of the main clan of the rights?"

"In addition, Jia Ruo was once expelled from Luo Xing Academy. Even if he wants to re-enlist, don't use the clan's name and embarrass our clan."

"Don't forget, BaiLi Yun Hua surnamed BaiLi. He is a true member of the main clan."

The bodyguard leaned over and cupped his hands, "This branch understands."

BaiLi Yun Xiao picked up the brush that had not dried yet and crossed out a few names on the scroll and wrote down a new name next to each crossed out name. After confirming back that there was nothing else to change, BaiLi Yun Xiao returned the scroll to the bodyguards.

"Reprite the new list."

"good. This subordinate is a punch."

"Mrs."

After the bodyguard left, BaiLi Yun Xiao sighed softly. The silver bracelet in his hand that did not match the ancient atmosphere around emitted a soft sound twice and a hologram image appeared afterwards. A young man who was also dressed in white looked at BaiLi Yun Xiao silently. The young man paused for a moment before asking, "Is there something that bothers your mind?"

Yue Qing Ye turned silent again and looked at this cousin and best friend. After a short pause he again asked, "Because of BaiLi Yun Hua? He's being bullied again?"

BaiLi Yun Xiao nodded, "Mn."

"Do you need my help? I have an empty place to apply to Luo Xing Academy. I can represent you to register BaiLi Yun Hua."

No wonder BaiLi Yun Xiao said that Yue Qing Ye understood him the most. Yue Qing Ye could tell the matter of BaiLi Yun Xiao just by looking at BaiLi Yun Xiao's expression and mood.

BaiLi Yun Xiao shook his head and refused, "No need anymore, thank you. I've rearranged everything."

"...Alright. If you need my help, just say it."

"I know."

After speaking with Yue Qing Ye, BaiLi Yun Xiao's mood improved a lot, "Qing Ye suddenly looked for me, is it because of this miss to your cousin?"

"..."

Yue Qing Ye's expression remained flat but BaiLi Yun Xiao found out that Yue Qing Ye was being embarrassed. They both grew up together, so they could understand each other easily. Although Yue Qing Ye looked cold on the outside, but she was actually very gentle on the inside. This kid is actually pretty shy.

Yue Qing Ye paused for a moment then looked intently at my cousin and said, "You promised to bring me the BaiLi clan's osmanthus cake today."

"..."

BaiLi Yun Xiao's distinctive smile paused for a moment before she rearranged her expression and smiled awkwardly, "It's my fault for forgetting this. I promise to bring you two boxes when we arrive at Luo Xing Academy."

Yue Qing Ye just looked at him.

"Three boxes?"

"..."

"All five boxes."

"OK."

A hint of helplessness flashed across BaiLi Yun Xiao's face. Her cousin has loved sweets since childhood and seems to have become more serious lately.

......................

The main region of the BaiLi clan was in the mountains that extended to the surrounding mountains. Usually the members of the main clan had one mountain as their territory. Only the outer members lived side by side on the same mountain and built their own houses.

The black-robed figure arrived at a barren and desolate mountain that could accommodate around thousands of residents and that person unhesitatingly climbed to the top of the mountain. Along the way, no animals were found except old trees, weeds, and other dead plants.

After a while of climbing, the black-robed person arrived in front of a bamboo house before entering and closing the door. The originally tensed back relaxed slightly after arriving at a familiar environment, that person took off his black robe and displayed the figure of a thin young man with a face that envy many. This face was the perfect kind of cold beauty, unfortunately the owner was a skinny youth who was malnourished.

The young man replaced the robe he was wearing with a simple, rough robe taken from the only wooden cabinet in his bamboo house. When the young man closed the door of his closet, a loud shout came from outside his bamboo house.

"BaiLi Yun Hua! Get out for me little bastard!"

The young man named BaiLi Yun Hua narrowed his eyes with a sharp glint of fury on both of his black pupils. When BaiLi Yun Hua opened the door, she was greeted by a whip rope right in front of her.

BaiLi Yun Hua's pupils shrank sharply, the whip rope was too fast and he was unable to avoid it within such a close distance. Moreover.he should not avoid.

Pa!

BaiLi Yun Hua was repulsed and fell to the ground along with blood flowing out of her cheeks profusely. He frowned as he felt a burn that stung his cheek. The whip rope that hit his face was covered by iron thorns, so his face was completely torn apart when the whip landed.

And most importantly the spines had been covered with a special poison that could strengthen one's senses to ten times the normal level. In other words, the person being whipped will feel pain that is ten times stronger than normal pain.

BaiLi Yun Hua clenched his fists and looked at the perpetrator who tore half his face with a look of hatred that did not bother him to disguise. A young man stood outside the bamboo house with a blood-stained whip on one hand. The young man's gaze was filled with burning anger and humiliation.

"What do you see?! You deserve it! How dare you steal my place in the list of entering Luo Xing Academy! A sissy-faced trash bastard like you is not worthy of entering Luo Xing Academy!"

The young man who whipped BaiLi Yun Hua was Jia Ruo who was removed from the list by BaiLi Yun Xiao.

BaiLi Yun Hua lowered his gaze. She was on the list of prospective students to Luo Xing Academy? It's worth it these bar-bar creatures go berserk like crazy buffalo...

Pa!

The thorny whip again fell on BaiLi Yun Hua's shoulder as his mind was wandering. This time the power that Jia Ruo used was many times stronger and the thorny whip pierced in until it hit BaiLi Yun Hua's bones.

Before BaiLi Yun Hua could get used to the pain, the thorny whip was pulled and the broken flesh was drawn along with the thorns of the whip.

"Ughhh!"

BaiLi Yun Hua's face paled drastically, this pain made him almost scream. Goddamnit! if it wasn't for him needing to disguise himself, he would have immediately torn this fellow apart! A steep glint of darkness flashed across BaiLi Yun Hua's pupils as he looked at some of the meat scraps attached to the thorny whip.

Jia Ruo felt his anger somewhat subside and a sadistic humiliation shoot up when he saw the skinny young man pale after losing some meat that since the beginning had not left much on his torso. After all BaiLi Yun Hua could not die or the consequences would be very difficult to bear for him who was only a member of the outer branch.

In BaiLi Yun Hua's eyes, Jia Ruo who was dressed tackily snorted like a buffalo and turned away. After the figure of Jia Ruo disappeared, BaiLi Yun Hua rose from the ground. He grimaced slightly as his movements drew a wound on the shoulder, with the gloomy face of the young man returning the bamboo house and slamming the door hard.

BaiLi Yun Hua picked up the medicine bottle in the bedside drawer. Opening the bottle stopper, he poured the medicinal powder directly onto the wound on his shoulder. Even if the medicinal powder fell splattered, he did not care. After the medicine bottle was emptied, BaiLi Yun Hua threw the medicine bottle back into the drawer violently. The wounds on the face were left just like that just in case the madman came back again to cause trouble. After all in the eyes of others he was extremely poor, applying medicinal powder on his face would only make people suspicious. Resisting the pain in his shoulders and face, BaiLi Yun Hua slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When night fell, BaiLi Yun Xiao came secretly to the mountain where BaiLi Yun Hua lived. His brows frowned when he saw the bloodstains that had dried up in front of the door of the bamboo house.

BaiLi Yun Xiao suppressed his presence before silently opening the door without making a sound. He walked up to the figure sleeping on the bamboo mattress in silence and shock came upon him when he saw the wounds on BaiLi Yun Hua's face and shoulders.

The blood on BaiLi Yun Hua's face had dried up. But since the young man did not wash away his blood, half of his face was dyed in a dark red trace that looked extremely terrifying in the dim night.

BaiLi Yun Hua's shoulder condition was even more dire as BaiLi Yun Hua used low-grade medicine on serious wounds, the medicine was only slightly useful. Moreover, before applying the medicine, BaiLi Yun Hua did not clean his wound so that the torn cloth of his clothes stuck to his shoulder which aggravated the wound.

BaiLi Yun Xiao sighed heavily. He took out a bottle of medicine from the spatial ring and fed a pill to BaiLi Yun Hua. Placing his hand on BaiLi Yun Hua's extremely hot forehead, BaiLi Yun Xiao pursed his lips.

She's feverish.

BaiLi Yun Xiao came out of the bamboo house and disappeared in the shadow of the night. After a while, he returned with a bucket of warm water in his hand. Putting the bucket beside the bed, BaiLi Yun Xiao took a handkerchief from his sleeve and drenched it with water then began to wash away the blood on BaiLi Yun Hua's face.

After cleaning the wound on BaiLi Yun Hua's face, BaiLi Yun Xiao applied a medicinal ointment on the wound on the young man's face. Gazing at the wound on the skinny young man's shoulder, BaiLi Yun Xiao felt a chill on his own shoulder. After washing the blood-soaked handkerchief, he wet a bit of cloth that stuck to BaiLi Yun Hua's wounds. After which, he slowly pulled the cloth apart from the bloody meat.

Although BaiLi Yun Xiao performed his actions as gently as possible, the person who was asleep still felt pain as the cloth was pulled apart from the flesh and frowned deeply. When all the cloths attached to the wound had been pulled, BaiLi Yun Xiao undressed the upper part of BaiLi Yun Hua. He took out another medicine bottle from his s.p.a.ce ring and poured the medicinal powder onto the wound on BaiLi Yun Hua's shoulder evenly.

The wrinkle on BaiLi Yun Hua's brows deepened as the medicine poured in. His forehead was sweating profusely. After he finished pouring the medicine, BaiLi Yun Xiao sat down by the bed and lifted BaiLi Yun Hua's upper body slowly and leaned him against his shoulder.

With full effort, BaiLi Yun Xiao finally finished wrapping the bandage in BaiLi Yun Hua's wound. After everything was done, he put Bai Li Yun Hua back to bed before taking out a blanket and covering the young man up to his neck.

Leaving two bottles of medicine and a bottle of ointment on the bedside table, BaiLi Yun Xiao left with a handkerchief and a basin of blood-filled water. Glancing at a glance at the blood on the ground, BaiLi Yun Xiao left the bamboo house in silence.

As night swallowed it, the moon still hung high in the sky. No one knew about the presence of BaiLi Yun Xiao, the First Young Master of the BaiLi clan in the bamboo house of BaiLi Yun Hua, a famous trash. And no one expected that these two people were ever related, not even BaiLi Yun Hua himself.

No one knew that after tonight there would be a storm that struck some unlucky group.
