Rise of the Great Emperor Chapter 127: The Story

Chapter 127: The Story

The bartender smiled.

“Not everyone can go to the city. Besides, even if you go to the city, you might not be able to work according to what you want. The job that they can offer there are also limited.”

Lin Xiao blinked in confusion. “What did it mean?”

“It means that you can have more freedom in village,” the bartender tried to explain more. Internally, he was wondering whether the person before him had high intelligence or low intelligence. It looked as if Lin Xiao was having trouble just to recognize it.

Freedom?

The word sounded strange to Lin Xiao but he could guess why the bartender said that. There were more powerful families in the city, each would have their own dominance and refused to back down no matter what. Even though the city might not be the most comfortable place, they were safer from outraging the powerful family accidentally because they were far away from each other.

“But isn’t it more dangerous in the village?” Lin Xiao asked again.

“Why is it dangerous?”

“I heard that there are people who are acting on their own too and also threatening other people who are living in the village.”

The bartender blinked his eyes then nodded. “So you have heard.”

“Yes?”

“There are indeed some annoying people. They’re acting like they owned the entire village even though they’re only slightly more powerful. In addition, there are also those who are not that powerful but they act brazenly.”

Lin Xiao tilted his head. “Who?”

“Some groups.” The bartender narrowed his eyes.

“Can you tell me so that I can be more careful?” Lin Xiao asked with pitiful expression. Beside him, Lin Yun nearly spat out the juice he was drinking when he saw Lin Xiao acted like that. His body shivered.

It was scary to look at his brother when the latter was acting like that.

‘Where’s my usual annoying and idiot brother?’

The bartender smiled helplessly. He felt like the youth before him was really stupid and pitiful. “It’s fine, it’s not really a secret here either. The group is named Eagle Power. It consisted of several Body Training Cultivators who are quite powerful and often acted on their own.”

“Act on their own?”

“Yes. They’re like the local gang here. Those with real power, Foundation Establishment Cultivators, didn’t usually care because they’re busy with their own training.”

“I see.”

Lin Xiao played with the glass in his hand without any intention to drink. He had been acting like he wanted to drink while talking but in truth, he hadn’t drunk the alcohol in the slightest bit. His real intention to come here was to make the bartender give him information and not drinking.

His eyes moved to look at Wenren Yu, who was sitting at the edge while sipping the drink. The way he sat down made him looked like a lazy bum, yet at the same time, he also looked like he was enjoying the drink.

However, Lin Xiao knew that Wenren Yu hadn’t ordered more. It felt as if he was only putting the glass near his lips without any intention to drink just like what Lin Xiao did with his own drink.

In their group, the only one who drank was Lin Yun, but they ordered juice for the brat and not alcohol, so it didn’t really matter that much.

“Is there anything else that you want to know?” the bartender turned around to prepare other drinks.

Lin Xiao nodded. “Where’s this Eagle Power Group usually stay? Or they don’t have fixed place?”

“They don’t have fixed place. I don’t really know where they usually stay because I stay in this place most of the time. Well, you can try to ask other people.”

“Got it. Thank you!”

“Heh, you’re welcome.”

At this moment, another customer came and Lin Xiao looked at the alcohol in his glass. He pondered whether it would be better for him to drink the alcohol or just leave it in the glass because he had no intention of making himself drunk.

‘Maybe just a sip?’

When the thought appeared in his mind, he saw Wenren Yu stretched his hand. The glass in his hand had moved place.

Lin Xiao looked at Wenren Yu helplessly. Come on, it was only a sip!

However, Wenren Yu placed the two glasses far away from Lin Xiao and Lin Yun, so Lin Xiao had to give up. He didn’t want to make a scene here and possibly created a mess. Besides, he still didn’t know how high his alcohol tolerance was.

“Let’s go back.”

“Uh, ok.”

By now, Lin Yun realized that his brother didn’t drink the alcohol in the slightest bit. In fact, it looked as if Lin Xiao didn’t have any interest to the alcohol and only intended to drink at the very last moment.

‘He’s searching for information?’

Lin Yun’s eyes widened when the thought crossed his mind. He looked at his brother and Wenren Yu’s back before he finally understood what they were planning. Damn, and here he was thinking that they were fooling around.

Eagle Power.

He also listened to the conversation between his brother and the bartender. Probably the killer, Bo Wu, was also in this group. Hmm, it was time for them to check them out then.

“Shall we search for an inn to stay first?” Lin Xiao asked while looking at the sun. it was still afternoon, which meant that it would take a long time before it was time for them to sleep.

“Let’s go to the forest instead.”

“Ok.”

“Hey, wait for me!”

Lin Xiao rushed into the forest with Wenren Yu and Lin Yun. Since it was still afternoon, they could see that there were only a few people who stayed in the village. As a village that was known for hunters, it was not that weird that most of them had disappeared during the day to visit the forest.

They would only return later at night.
