Condemning the Heavens Chapter 315

Chapter 315: 315
Time ticked by slowly . Xue Wei had been in the refining chamber for five days, and when he emerged, he was not sure as to how he was feeling .
Although it was his first time refining these pills, and the first time attempting something this challenging, he had hoped for a better success rate than what he had gotten .
A servant had been standing outside the door of the refining room, waiting for Xue Wei to emerge . When he saw him, he was very polite as he led Xue Wei towards the lodgings, that had been prepared for him and his friends .
Behind the Thousand Treasure Pavilion was a whole district of the city which was designated to the Pavilion's workers, guests, elders, and so on .
They had found rooms for every single member of the ambassador's entourage . Xue Wei was sent to a courtyard that looked very similar to the ones he had stayed in back in the academy in Yan Dalu .
Xue Wei decided to stay in the house for a day . Although he had managed to concoct pills and take breaks in between to restore his energy, he still felt fatigued after working non-stop for five days .
When he arrived in the courtyard, he quickly found out that the house was empty . His companions had left to enter the city, as to what they needed to do, Xue Wei was not sure .
Maybe they had gone shopping for fun, perhaps they had gone to help find a ship, or even more likely was it that they had entered the town to get rumors of the auction that would happen in a few days, and see what the response was to the things Xue Wei had put up for auction .
Xue Wei did not put too much thought into the subject but found an unoccupied room where he laid down on the bed and slipped into a deep slumber .
While he was sleeping, Lin Xiao, Luoluo, Bai Tianyi, and Hei Gou were walking on the streets of Treasure City .
All of them were cultivators, and their hearing was much better than that of ordinary people . When coupled with the fact that these experts did not bother to hide their conversation, it was easy to listen in on the subjects that were being discussed .
The most discussed subject was the auction . Everyone was eager to know more about the things that were being put up for sale at the auction .
Secondly was the infamous blood ship that had emerged in the harbor . All were curious about who had purchased it, but no one knew . There were rumors about the Fierce Demon Pirate Crew having acquired it, but there was no concrete proof for anyone buying it .
The ship was placed in the harbor where it had been from the beginning, a few men and women were onboard it, but not many . If one wanted to steal the ship, it would be possible, but all knew the consequences of stealing a ship on Treasure Island .
Lin Xiao had looked around after listening in on the conversations, and after considering for some time, he took Luoluo with him to a teahouse .
Bai Tianyi and Hei Gou tried finding news on the streets while Lin Xiao and Luoluo listened in on things in the teahouse .
"Did you hear that there will be rainbow pills at the auction?" was the phrase most said in the teahouse, and most would answer with disdain that they had known for a long time .
"Such a cute little girl," a voice suddenly sounded in the teahouse, and a small boy who seemed to be around ten years old looked at Luoluo with curiosity in his eyes .
He had never seen a child who looked so pure and so much like a little doll, and he instantly felt a curiosity towards the child .
Luoluo looked at the boy, but her facial expressions did not change, she did not even acknowledge seeing him .
The young boy was curious about this young girl . He was too young to understand the matters between men and women, but he still felt favorable emotions towards this little girl and wanted to bring her home with him to play with .
He had grown up getting everything he wanted . When he wanted to play, servants would play with him . When he wanted a pet, Fierce Beasts would be tamed for him . If he wanted to play with someone, then it would be that person's honor to play with him .
Never before had he seen a small girl like this who viewed him as air . "Men, I want to play with her!" he exclaimed, and the men who had followed him out of the mansion went to Lin Xiao's side and withdrew a small purse which seemed to have some essence stones in it .
"Let our young master play with your little sister, and we will pay you two hundred essence stones in return," the man said as if he had already determined that they would accept, but to his surprise, Lin Xiao just snorted .
"Take your essence stones and scram," he said in a low and dangerous voice . Although Xue Wei had warned them before he entered the refining chamber to be careful, he also would never allow them to be abused, so Lin Xiao did not fear them .
The men that had come out were all Sky Knights ranked between the first and third layer . They were simply not the opponent of Lin Xiao .
However, the young boy did not seem to understand this point . He pointed at Luoluo with his small childish fingers and once more said, "I want that girl to play with me! She is cute as a doll; only such a high-quality person deserves to play with this lord!"
Luoluo who had been quiet for a long time lifted her head, and her previously expressionless face turned loathing .
Although her age was like a child, she was not stupid . "Who wants to play with you, ah!" she exclaimed as she shook her head in annoyance .
Lin Xiao had been scared that Luoluo would blurt out some unwelcome words, such as calling him her hubby, but fortunately, she only did so when they were alone or with the friends . Luoluo knew better than to add injury to Lin Xiao and the situation they were in .
"Grab her!" the young man was not willing to give up . He was calling out for the seven men behind him to act up, but the moment the first person took a step forward, a magnificent force erupted from Lin Xiao, and the man who had taken a step was thrown back like a ragged doll, his body was crushed and blood flowed incessantly from his mouth .
Everyone was shocked when they saw that this man was so ruthless and got rid of the man the moment he took a step forward, but they all also sensed his strength . This man was actually a Heavenly Knight!
Although there were Saint ranked experts in Treasure City, most of these experts were hard to find, leaders of families or they were recluse and lived outside the city .
Heavenly Knights were fought over for many factions and pirate crews . A Heavenly Knight had the chance of turning into a Saint ranked expert, and these would make any faction ecstatic to recruit .
The men who had come with the child were all stunned when they saw the strength of Lin Xiao, and they hesitated .
They were familiar to the Treasure City, and everyone knew them, but to still act like this towards them, he had to have a strong backing or was new to the city .
Being new could be good and bad . If he were willing to be recruited by their family, then it would be beneficial, but if they were hired by someone else, then he would prove to be an enemy in the future .
Considering that they had this obvious disagreement with them, it was apparent that Lin Xiao would never accept allying himself with their family, and thus these men quickly convinced their young master to retreat for the day .
Lin Xiao was not paying extra attention to the people . He had killed one of their men already, but the one he killed was merely a simple guard . If he killed the young child, then there would be an incorrigible hostility between himself and the family backing the young man .
With a final, hesitating glance at Luoluo the young man clenched his fists and left the teahouse together with his men, two of them carried the body .
Lin Xiao was not in the mood to stay at the teahouse and quickly paid for their tea and snacks before he and Luoluo exited the house and went to see if they could find Hei Gou and Bai Tianyi .
It did not take long to locate the two figures in the crowd . One was small and wearing white robes with golden embroideries, had long white hair, and seemed like a fair but sinister child .
The other figure was tall, a whole head taller than then average people surrounding them . The face was so attractive and handsome that every woman on the street was looking at him with curious and interested gazes . He was wearing completely black clothes with silver embroideries in stark contrast to the child by his side .
Seeing them standing out like this, Lin Xiao's lips twitched slightly as he tried to keep the laughter down . When thinking about it, he and Luoluo were also an unnatural pair .
As they reunited, they hurried back to the lodgings that Thousand Treasure Pavilion had prepared for them, none of them were aware that they had been followed by a few people who specialized in stealth .
When they saw the group enter the Thousand Treasure Pavilion's residential area, they all retreated back to where they had come from .
"They are part of the Thousand Treasure Pavilion?" this sentence was asked in many of the significant families chambers as the stealth experts returned to announce what they had seen .
"This is weird," another man said, "The Thousand Treasure Pavilion is not a faction that causes problems, and it is rare for them to recruit people . People queue up to join them, but only those who have exceptional talents can enter their eyes . "
"The Thousand Treasure Pavilion has a lot of things happening recently . First was the emergence of the One colored Rainbow Pill, now it is an unknown expert . I wonder what exactly is going on . " A third person was also commenting in another family .
"Could they be connected? This is a never before seen expert in Treasure City, and now there are suddenly rainbow pills here . " Someone could not help but guess, but he quickly dismissed this thought .
When they returned to the courtyard, they could all sense that there was some energy flowing towards a room on the upper floor, which had previously been empty, and all of them suddenly felt happy .
It was evident that Xue Wei had returned, and they could not wait to hear how he was doing after not seeing him for a few days .
They were especially interested to hear what he had to say about the two colored Rainbow Pills .
It was not that they did not care for Xue Wei, but they knew he could protect himself . The rainbow pills were of utmost importance to them, especially Bai Tianyi, Xue Wei, and Hei Gou would benefit greatly from the pills as they might help them break into the Heavenly Warrior rank .
As Xue Wei awoke, he was still alone in the house . He sat down and began cultivating and after cultivating for some time, he suddenly felt someone on the way into the house, the auras were familiar, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips as he stopped cultivating, stretched his body and walked down the stairs towards his friends who were on the way inside .
