The Geared Immortal

The Nian clan misfortune Part 6

/*unedited*/

A bulky young man standing dumbfounded as his face has a look of surprise while looking at the people in front of him. Behind him stood a young woman with a leather belt on her hand and a smirk on her face.

After the young woman's comment, she drops the belt on the floor and walked away. Meanwhile, the bully young man's face turned ugly and his eyes slowly rolled up showing its whites.

Then he fell down on the ground unconscious.

When the people saw this, they unconsciously moved a step back in fear. They didn't expect that the young woman would be so fierce as to knock down one of their strongest cultivators in just one move.

"Only this much… what a waste of time and resources." a fierce-looking young man among the crowd of the clan's new recruits said while walking away following the young woman.

The comment of the young man woke everyone up as angry looks appear on their faces.

"How dare you! You're all just newbies in the clan, and you wanted to act proud."

"Let's teach these newbies a lesson!"

After the enticement and provocation from some of the old outer members of the clan, everyone was riled up in anger and began pouncing towards the newbies.

And so a brawl immediately began.

The fierce-looking young man was cornered by two of the senior members, as they fought against one another. Although they are not using any weapons, just their own two fists, yet the Qi covered fist of these cultivators are causing too much damage.

In a blink of an eye, more than 20 minutes have passed and many are now on the ground wailing from pain. They suffered many bruises while some even have broken arms or legs.

This just shows how fierce the fighting was.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao grabs this opportunity to vanish and appear inside the outer clan members' quarters. Although Shin Jiao stayed in the Nian clan for a while, yet he spends his time following Zhen Nian and hadn't come in contact with this military barracks-like place. While walking around, Shin Jiao scanned the place and began planning his next move.

"I need to infiltrate this place and find the older sister of the Lee siblings. Then leave a gift to those elders of the Nian clan. Then I should take those three to Wu city. I can use more alchemists to help with Ai Ji's project. Plus those two girls can make advance pills if they combine their strength… well, that is if they wanted to follow me."

While walking around, Shin Jiao noticed the figure of a woman sitting in a lotus position inside a room. Shin Jiao directly enters the room and walks towards her. The young woman is the one who has moved so fast that the bully-looking guy didn't even have time to react.

He remembers that she looks tall for a woman at that time; she is around 5 feet and nine inches. And her white and pink cultivator's robe which hugs her well-proportioned body makes her look like a goddess. But, her face is plain-looking, not beautiful and not ugly. But her temperament is what makes her attractive.

When Shin Jiao reached the side of the bed, he cleared his throat.

Right now, he is not sure of the thought of the woman, so he decided to approach her.

"Ahem… Excuse me." Shin Jiao cleared his throat to interrupt the woman.

The woman is already aware of Shin Jiao's presence as was actually speechless while thinking that Shin Jiao is truly a thick face man. He didn't even think twice about entering the quarters that belong to women.

She quickly opens her eyes and turned and angry gaze at Shin Jiao.

"Are you a shameless guy?" she asked with a grossed-out expression.

When Shin Jiao heard this, he was stunned as one of his eyebrows slowly lifted in annoyance.

"This woman thinks that I'm hitting on her…" Shin Jiao thought as he wanted to laugh out loud.

"Ahem… It's not…"

"It's not what?... do you think just because you are handsome every girl that you approach would like you? Well, I hate to disappoint you but I don't think you are that attractive. Plus, you're a pervert… do you think you can just enter the woman's quarters and get away with it. I'll just tell this to the elder in charge and you'll be punished. So if I were you just go out now." she reprimanded.

Upon hearing her words, Shin Jiao was not truly stunned. He didn't expect that the woman would talk to him that way. He was just there to remind her of something with the goodness of his heart and yet he was reprimanded for it.

"What the heck is wrong with this woman's brains?" Shin Jiao thought while shaking his head.

Then he just turns around and walks towards the door. Then he stood there without moving. When the woman saw this, she smirked and didn't bother with Shin Jiao anymore.

After ten minutes, Shin Jiao saw a group of men walking towards him. All of them have bruises on their bodies, while others supported some. The group walked towards Shin Jiao's direction and turned to enter the room filled with beds.

When they enter the room, they didn't notice that someone is actually inside. But after a while, someone jumps back as they noticed a woman.

The young woman has already opened her eyes and is already mortified at the number of men inside the room. Then as if realizing something, she immediately jumps up from the bed and ran towards the door. When she saw the figure of Shin Jiao still standing there, her face immediately turned red.

She remembers what she said and as if it was a loud slap on her face that she didn't look at Shin Jiao's eyes while running out of the room.

"That was too embarrassing! That guy is too annoying! I should squish him like a bug." She muttered to herself as she ran away.

She didn't expect that that place is the boy's room. But she clearly saw two women coming out from that room, that's why she thought that it was the room for women.

What she didn't do is to read the almost unnoticeable sign at the top of the door frame.

As she ran away, Shin Jiao just turned his gaze and follow her disappearing figure into a building.

"Haha… I was good enough to want to remind her, but why should she offend me instead. That's what you get for not listening first."

…

The next day, everyone was gathered in a wide-open field with many ancient combat equipment and training dummies.

Shin Jiao immediately noticed the woman because of her height, as she is one of the tallest women in the crowd.

When their eyes met, she immediately blushed and averted her gaze.

Shin Jiao could not help himself but shake his head.

Then the instructor walks forward and gave them their basic training regimen.

Because not all cultivators knew how to use a sword, the Nian clan decided to train everyone on how to properly use a sword.

Although it is a basic course, yet it is already an effective way to fight against others. And once they improve the clan would provide them more training techniques.

When Shin Jiao saw the manual, he showed an interest and immediately began reading through it.

It didn't take long for Shin Jiao to know the technique because he is already familiar in using different kinds of weapons according to the manuals he has learned from the library of the Great Wu Academy.

While other practices, Shin Jiao directly went to the mission assignment building.

There he saw a tall building with many clan cultivators going in and out. He can see many groups of people talking, planning, discussing their missions. He even heard someone saying about selling their hunt in town as they can earn more.

But Shin Jiao knows the rules of the clan. Each of these cultivators has a single goal, and that is to enter the elite.

If they can join the elite of the clan, then their cultivation resources and power would surely grow.

And so everyone would always show an excited expression on their faces.

When Shin Jiao saw this, he felt sure of his decision to just punish the elders of this clan and just spare these juniors.

Upon arriving in front of the counter where he can get mission, Shin Jiao saw an old man sitting inside.

"What kind of mission are you willing to take young one?" the old man asked.

"Well, I want a high-risk high reward mission." Shin Jiao said.

When the old man heard this, he immediately turned his gaze at Shin Jiao and behind him. Upon seeing that Shin Jiao is alone, the old man frowns.

Shin Jiao already knew what's on the old man's mind and flashed him a smile.

"Rest assure senior, I know the risk and I know my abilities."

Upon hearing the confident look on the young man's eyes, the old man didn't bother to explain anything and just took out something from the list and showed it to Shin Jiao.

When Shin Jiao saw what's the mission is about, his eyes could not help but grow wide in shock.

"Is this a mission or suicide?" Shin Jiao thought.

With Shin Jiao's reaction, he has already determined that the young man has already lost his balls to take in the mission.

But before he can take back his hand, a gust of wind suddenly appear and the mission paper is already on Shin Jiao's hand.

"I'll take it then.." Shin Jiao said while leaving the dumbfounded old man.
