Chapter 34: A Pleasant Surprise
1279 Words
Li Xian finally sighed in relief after he is far away from the hut.
He looks around and after making sure that no one could see him he could finally relaxed a bit.
He said to the old man that he must do something or else he would not be at ease.
Truth was, there is nothing he needs to do.
That is just an excuse he came up with
Since he went out only because he wanted to check his status window. But along the way, as his mind clears up a bit, he then thinks of something.
While when he was going out from the hut, he lied, halfway down the road, he suddenly was stuck with a thought.
Shi Yuan is the one that sent Wang Li to the old man.
Maybe he also had other plans. Thinking of this, Li Xian decided to check the area around the forest to see whether there are some scouts that Shi Yuan had sent a lookout
If there is then he had to change more of his plans. After his clash with Shi Yuan, Li Xian had decided to stay in the forest until he is strong enough to roam the world.
It was like a wakeup call for him
The way he is now, he fears if he were sucked into the whirlpools of chaos of the warring period, he would be dead.
If there is one thig Li Xian did not want to be, it is being dead.
He did not even have the chance to explore this world.
Li Xian had a very simple and carefree dreams.
He did not know whether he could return back to his own world but if he could not, he must build a life here.
He did not know why he is so calm about this.
He even forgot the crush he felt for Jessica.
Maybe as he attained skills easily, it was almost like he had experience all kinds of this feeling before or maybe because the system helps him feeling calm.
Thinking about it again, if he was not calm when he first arrived, he would probably be panicking all the while and waste many times panicking before making mistake.
Li Xian notices that when he fights, his mental state seems to change.
In that state of extreme focus, everything seems to disappear in his mind.
It is not like he is falling into unconsciousness but instead it was like there is only the move he is about to employ next and the moves that the enemies are about to employ next.
It is like a chess game, but the chess games have no rules. No one waited for their turns as they could move the pieces whenever they want and wherever they want.
But it is still a chess game.
Because there is a strategy in each move.
As for his dream right now.
He wanted to master powerful martial arts and then he could roam the world without being afraid of being killed or hurt. If he wanted to see some mountain, he could just go without being afraid of any people or beast trying to kill him.
He wanted to roam the world, see the world and unravel its mysteries
That is one of the reason why he chooses the Righteous path.
Everyone likes to think of themselves as some badass anti-hero or become some badass devil, trying to break the hero mold when in a game
They don’t like it if the hero is a straight laced character. They want a hero who is hot blooded and kill like a demon
They felt being the heretic path is a cool badass move. What so badass about people always wanting to kill you because they believe you to be a demon spawn?
Li Xian also understand the allure. In games, he always chooses the anti-hero, or choose skill that seems like a devil skill.
But that is a game. Not real life.
In living with people, people would be more accepting to a kind people rather than an evil person.
If he chooses the evil path they might be more powerful martial arts he could master and it would be easier for him to do any hedonistic thing. But what Li Xian seeks, in that other world and in this world is simply calmness and peace.
A gamer like a world of peace.
In a world of peace and in a calm mindset, they could attain the focus to win every battle and complete every quest. Of course, this is his gamer mindset.
He likes serenity and calmness.
If he chooses the evil path Li Xian bet that even if he reaches powerful level of martial arts people would daily, try to kill him like he is some kind of demon incarnate.
Peace is good’ he muttered silently as he climbs the small ascending soil steps searching for the stream he had bathed a week ago before he fought with Shi Yuan
He climbs a few more and then he finally saw the stream. It is almost afternoon and the sunlight shines over through the gaps of the leaves of the tree nearby.
He then put his clothes and pants away as he jumps into the water.
Ah’ he said as he floated his body as his body were push by the water stream until his body stop at the boulder that prevent him from being brought down to the lower stream
He felt his tiredness and soreness falling away from his body.
‘I still don’t know a lot about this world’
Even until now, he still did not do the one thing he wanted to do when he bright Bai Qingniu to his hut.
Li Xian always wanted to know about what happen to the world outside this forest.
He wanted to know which year is it? Did Zhu Wen already killed the Emperor? Or is the Emperor still alive?
Are the warlords already rising up, sharing the Mandate of Heaven? Then he thought about thing that are closer to him
His rewards. He did not forget about it one bit. That is another reason why he went out of the hut. His clash with Shi yuan had teach him that knowing three martial arts technique did not make him safe.
Li Xian takes a deep breath, breathing the fresh air and then thought in his mind about the status window.
