C307 Lishan Sect
"Alright, what are we all gathered around here like? Let's disperse. Little brother, if you don't mind, then come and live with me. Coincidentally, my house also has an empty house." The village chief shouted at the villagers who were discussing with each other, then turned around and spoke to Xiao Changsheng.
"Alright, thank you Village Head!"
Xiao Changsheng nodded, and immediately expressed his thanks.
"Disperse, everyone disperse!"
The old man waved his hand again, and spoke to the surrounding villagers. Upon seeing this, all of the surrounding villagers immediately left, occasionally glancing at the village chief, or maybe even sizing up Xiao Changsheng.
"Grandfather, you're back?"
Just as Xiao Changsheng followed the village chief into the courtyard, he heard a cheerful and lovable voice coming from the house. A young girl around sixteen to seventeen years old ran out from the house excitedly, but when she saw Xiao Changsheng, she immediately stopped.
"Yue Er, this little brother was attacked by a ferocious beast and escaped to our village. He needs to stay in our village for a period of time. Go and tidy up the room next to yours." The old man said to the young girl.
"Got it, Grandpa."
The girl nodded as she tilted her head and couldn't help but take two extra glances at Xiao Changsheng. She was wearing a gray cloth dress, her nose was slightly raised, her nose was slightly flickering, and her cherry lips were round. A pair of large black eyes curiously looked at Xiao Changsheng.
"Old man, there's no need to go through all that trouble. I can just clean up myself." Xiao Changsheng also quickly spoke up.
"That's fine. Yue'er, bring little brother to have a look at the house." The old man nodded as he spoke to the young girl.
"Follow me!"
The girl looked at Xiao Changsheng, revealing two shallow dimples, appearing lively and cute, and wasn't the least bit vigilant towards Xiao Changsheng.
"Thank you, big sister."
Xiao Changsheng replied.
"Hehe ~" Hearing Xiao Changsheng call her elder sister, the young lady could not help but reveal a faint smile, obviously being very satisfied with Xiao Changsheng's way of addressing his, the old man could not help but shake his head and walk into the house alone.
"Well, this is the house you'll be staying in from now on." Then, she pushed open the door and walked in. She took the initiative to clean the blankets inside the room, and arranged them neatly.
"I can do it myself."
Xiao Changsheng quickly said. He wanted to step forward and tidy up the blanket, but he realised that it was not so good to go forward now, so he stopped and looked around the room. The room was not big, there was only a bed and a clothes rack.
"This room was originally my third uncle's house, but a few years ago, my third uncle went hunting in the mountains with a village hunter and was attacked by a vicious beast, so he never came back." The girl tidied up the blankets in her room and explained to Xiao Changsheng.
"So that's how it is."
Xiao Changsheng nodded, he did not know how to comfort the girl.
"By the way, what's your name?"
After tidying up the blanket, the girl suddenly asked curiously.
"Xiao Changsheng."
Xiao Changsheng didn't hide anything. He was originally someone from the Eastern Region, and in the end, by coincidence, he entered the Western Region. Even if someone were to investigate, they would definitely not be able to find out who it was.
"Xiao Changsheng, what a strange name."
Then, she looked at Xiao Changsheng, her face revealing two shallow dimples, and smiled: "I'm Li Yue, you can call me Sister Yue from now on."
"Alright."
Xiao Changsheng nodded his head awkwardly.0
"Oh right, why are you covered in dirt? I'll go find you two sets of clothes. Hurry up and change them. " Li Yue said to Xiao Changsheng, not treating Xiao Changsheng as an outsider at all, as if he was really treated as a subordinate.
"No need, I have my own clothes." Xiao Changsheng immediately said. Then, he took out a clean set of white robe from the storage bag at his waist. Li Yue's eyes immediately lit up.
"These clothes of yours, did you pull them out from that small bag?" Li Yue's eyes widened, and could not help but ask.
Xiao Changsheng nodded.
"I heard grandpa say that some powerful warriors would have this kind of bag on them to store their items. I didn't expect it to be real, it's too miraculous." The storage bag that was staring at Xiao Changsheng with his beautiful eyes could not help but say.
"If Sister Yue likes it, I'll give it to you." Xiao Changsheng said. Before he entered the village, he had naturally hidden all kinds of storage rings and things like that, and made himself only a storage bag.
Forget about storage bag s, he had several large scale storage rings on him, but here, he tried his best to keep a low profile. Unexpectedly, a small storage bag still caused Li Yue to be so surprised.
As he said that, Xiao Changsheng took out the storage bag and transferred it without leaving a trace to another storage bag. With his methods, he could change things in front of an ordinary person, but the other party would not be able to detect anything at all.
"No, no. This is too precious, I can't take it." Then, he looked at Xiao Changsheng seriously. He said: "However, you must remember, in the future, do not take out this bag in front of anyone else. Although the people in the village are all very simple and honest, occasionally there will be some powerful experts passing by the village.
"There are outsiders in this village? Didn't the Village Head say that outsiders are not allowed in the village? " Xiao Changsheng was a little speechless.
Li Yue nodded her head, and said: "That's right, the village does not accept outsiders, but occasionally, some strong practitioners from outside the village would come in to ask for some water to drink, and every month, Lishan Sect would come to the village to collect a portion of the protection fees. They would probably come in the next few days, and those people are even more repulsive than vicious beasts, even if they are covered in human skin!"
Li Yue said somewhat resentfully.
"Lishan Sect? "Protection fee?"
Xiao Changsheng looked at Li Yue with some suspicion. According to the old fogey's memories, this Lishan Sect was also a mere unranked sect. If it wasn't for doing such heinous things, no one would know that her sect master was just an ordinary Earth King Realm.
Yes, here is the territory of the Lishan Sect, they are responsible for protecting the safety of the village within a 100 mile radius, but the condition is that they have to be paid enough protection fees every month, the spirit medicine beasts' beast skins and so on, and it will be fine as long as they are of sufficient value. If that village does not pay protection fees, then there will be a beast attack, and they will not interfere, but three years ago, because we could not provide that many spirit medicine, we were attacked by the beasts and more than half of the village died.
Li Yue said resentfully.
