Chapter 103: Asura Dragon Recruitment
"Brother Nie, Brother Nie is back" A little girl wearing tattered clothes shouted running towards a person in black clothes. He had average face but his age was around nineteen. He had a smiling expression in his face. He caught the little girl in his arms, and walk towards the village. His name was Nie Bin
This was a small village far away from the forest and cultivator area, so many people can't find it. This guy was none other than an assassin who tried to kill Xiao Zhen previously. He smiled and looking at the little girl, he asked "I have been long for three days. Are you guys alright? Do you have any problem?"
Little girl rubbed her right hand at his hair, and said "We are fine. Sister Ain is taking good care of us. By the way, brother Nie did you bring food for us. Our food is almost empty. We are also very hungry."
Hearing her question, Nie Bin turned silent. He didn't know what to say? He could bring food for some but there were more than hundreds of children living here. If his assassination was success, then he might be able to buy lots of food but he was unsuccessful. If he was a cruel killer killing every target he finds than he might be able to pull that off but he can't because he is good guy.
"Don't worry brother Nie. We can still survive for longer and if we reach forest tomorrow than I'm sure we can find some fruits to eat." Little girl rubbed her cheeks at his cheeks and said, her face was full of smile but this smile made Nie Bin heart ache.
He sometimes regrets being good assassin. If he was just little bad then he might be able to gather more food but that also comes with consequence. Tears start pouring out of his eyes, as he muttered "I'm sorry for being incompetent brother."
"Brother you are not incompetent. For us, in this world there is no one better than you and sister Ain." Little girl clear the tears in his eyes, while comforting him then continued "In fact, all of us aren't even related with blood. We were just an orphan but you took care of us. You not only gave us food and shelter but also taught us Martial Art. You are both father and mother to us. We know Sister Ain also love everyone but the reason why she is here is because of you. Brother because of you, we are still alive."
While saying, she also got tears in her eyes. No matter how well behaved and sensible she is. She is still the little girl. While they were discussing, some children who heard this little girl ran out towards Nie Bin. Following them, a beautiful girl also appeared.
They discuss many things, while they were still chatting. Nie Bin was looking sad for being incompetent. Normally, he was barely able to fill everyone's belly but recently, their village was attacked by some cultivator so they had to move here in hurry which made them loss all of their food.
That food was collected by his hard work. In fact, he is very talented but he was full of responsibilities and he couldn't focus on cultivation too much which caused him stagnate in True Qi Realm. Seeing him sad, everyone started comforting him.
"Brother Nie, you are not incompetent. You are the best brother we could ever have."
"Yeah, you are everything to us. If not for us, then you might be top cultivator of this place now."
Suddenly, the beautiful girl Ain said "Brother Nie Bin, do you know anyone of your connection to burrow food? You should have connection, right?"
Hearing her question, he bitterly smiled. It's not that, he doesn't have any relation but no one is willing to help him. Suddenly, a sweet and young voice rang in every one's ear. "Yes, he has some connections with me."
"You" Without any hesitation, Nie Bin took out his sword from his space ring, and slash back. But a young figure easily dodged him. Then he helplessly said "Can you let me finish?"
"How did you follow? That matter, everyone run" Nie Bin didn't understand his current condition, he wildly roared, and slashed again at Xia Zhen. Seeing this, Xiao Zhen made helpless look at the sister Ain who immediately understood his intention, so she shouted "Nie Bin stop!"
Hearing her voice, Nie Bin stopped and looked at Ain with confusion in his eyes. Sister Ain walked closer to Xiao Zhen; giving a small bow she asked "Will you help us?"
Seeing this Xiao Zhen nodded and said "Yes but there are two kind of help. Permanent and Temporarily help, and seeing this idiot act I can say even If I help you temporarily, all of you will still fall in this situation not to mention this dynasty will be very chaotic these days. So they might even find you even if you are hiding under low level invisible array."
Nie Bin felt little angry when Xiao Zhen said him idiot but he still calm down because he knows the current condition of Zhen Qi dynasty. Hearing him, Ain first looked at Nie Bin who had solemn face, she also understood truth. So, she bit her lips and said "If we choose permanent then do we have to be servant of your family and work for you."
"There are two mistakes in your sentences, first you don't have to be servant, second; I'm not taking you guys to my family." Xiao Zhen put same smile and said
"Then?" Ain was little confused here, so she asked
"First, let me introduce myself; My name is Xiao Zhen. I am from the Xiao family but I am also the member of Asura Dragon Legion. It is not established yet but soon will it be." Xiao Zhen simply introduced himself, then looked at them.
"Asura Dragon Legion?" Not to mention Ain, but Nie Bin was also confused.
"It is the legion started by our boss. We only have thirty members but every single one of us is powerful. But previously, we were just like a normal martial arts. In fact, my talent was even less than your brothers" Xiao Zhen said with professional smiled, as he introduced more.
"So those weren't rumors made by your family?" Nie Bin said with serious face, because he has face Xiao Zhen powers, and if those weren't rumor than he was really changed so much in short time. Suddenly, a thought rang in his mind so he asked with uncertainties "So increase of your talent is related with Asura Dragon Legion."
"Yes" Xiao Zhen was little startled seeing this idiot using his brain, but he still replied with the smile.
"But no matter how powerful a person is, he can't increase so much talent in such a short time unless you practice some short of evil art." Nie Bin said with little shock in his heart, without hesitation he grabbed his sword.
Hearing him Xiao Zhen was speechless. He looked at Ain and said "Do I look evil?"
"No" Ain didn't know what to reply but in the end, she still said no.
"I am not evil nor our method. It's just he gave us very power art that is out of this world. Our Asura Dragon Legion won't force anyone but this is golden opportunity simply because we can fulfill any of your need such as Money, Food, and clothes. But that is only something we provide for free. As for being cultivator, you have to work hard, we don't care if you have talent or not. All you need is good heart to protect other, smart brain to solve difficult situation, and Will to practice for all your life." Xiao Zhen explained
Hearing him, many children were already excited and convinced but Ain was still hesitating. Finally, she asked gritting her teeth "What do you want us to do?"
Hearing her, he smiled and said "Not what I want but what he wants? As for his need, I think only if you get strong then you can satisfy his need. As for current situation, I say it would very hard not mention at least half of these children are under ten."
"But first, I want to know who your boss is?" Nie Bin was silent for some time, asked looking directly at Xiao Zhen eyes. He was expecting him to be powerful person after all, he could make these geniuses.
"His name is Xia Long Fei. And now, he is also wanted in whole Zhen Qi dynasty." Xiao Zhen said with the proud expression, this made them little shocked. After all this time, Xiao Zhen was only smile but for the first time, he was proud. Nie Bin was even more shocked for two reason first he knows Xia Long Fei, and second he knows how hard it is to make such a genius a loyal person.
But he also knows, how much of wealth does that guys possess. Finally gritting his teeth, he said "I accept but you can't force us to do something we don't want."
"Of course, but only if you don't betray him" Xiao Zhen smiled, welcoming them and suddenly he terrifying killing intent from his body. It wasn't sword intent but killing intent condense when he was at Stone Village.
This killing intent made everyone understand the consequences of betraying him. Finally, he took out a spatial ring and said "This contains everything you need for now. It also have some powerful array for protection, I'll inform him soon, so he can decide what to do? For now, don't think of other things, just enjoy." Saying so, he used Sword Steps and disappeared from his position.
