Private life:

Female disciple 1 – Yes, we didn't intend to see your upper body while hiding. We are not.

Li Bingbing – Cough, cough.

Female disciples understood the meaning of the cough and stood silently. While wearing his upper clothes without any embarrassment.

Xiao Lin – You should leave before the darkness covers. Lately, the Meng nation is not safe for anyone. Also staying here will only make the other sects doubt you. If you want to visit this lake you should do it earlier. If you guys move fast you can reach the nearest inn within an hour.

Saying that Xiao Lin started moving towards the nearest inn for his dinner.

Li Bingbing – Senior, I haven't heard your name until now.

Xiao Lin without looking back shouted – You can call me Lin and I don't use my family name. So, forgot about this.

Li Bingbing – Can we come with you? As we don't remember the route we came towards here.

Xiao Lin – Are you still wasting time?

Li Bingbing and other female disciples – Thank you, senior.

With that, they followed Xiao Lin while maintaining a certain distance from him.

Female disciple 1 – Young lady, are you sure to follow a stranger? Why did you call him senior? He seems to don't have that much age difference from us.

Li Bingbing – Then, do you have any other way. Because of your insistence only we got lost searching the lake. We can only trust him as he seems not to be a bad person. I called him senior because of his strength. Li Qin what is your opinion.

Li Qin – I also think he, not a bad person. But he never seems to care whether we are following him or not. He was also casual in putting his clothes while in the lake even after we came out of bushes. So, we can only believe him.

Li Bingbing – Have you all heard this. Let's follow him follow for now.

Li Qin – Sister, do you think he is married?

Li Bingbing and other disciples were shocked to hear that question from Li Qin who never cared about a man before.

Li Bingbing – Why do ask that? I don't think he is married as he seems to travel alone. From his talk, he should be from a noble family. Maybe that's why he didn't mention his family in his name.

Li Qin – I also think that. But about his marriage?

Female disciple 2 – Shall we ask him then?

Li Qin – Okay.

Li Bingbing – What are you guys talking about? Why should he answer us and we have already asked one help? Now you want to know about his private matters. Aren't we bothering him?

Li Qin – We are just asking right. He can answer or not.

Other female disciples also nodded for the Li Qin.

One of the female disciples shouted to Xiao Lin – Mr. Lin. Are you already married?

Xiao Lin who didn't expect this question stopped and turned back with a face full of surprise.

Xiao Lin's expression was like "We meet only a few minutes ago and you are already acting friendlier towards me."

Li Bingbing seeing apologized to Xiao Lin.

Then again started walking forwards.

Li Bingbing – Senior, sorry for asking about your private life. They are idiots and felt bored to ask this question. Forgive them, senior.

Xiao Lin who came out of the surprise said – It's okay, the question didn't offend me. But I found it surprising to ask such questions to a stranger who met minutes ago.

Li Bingbing – Thanks senior.

Li Qin – Then are you married?

Xiao Lin only smiled and answered, "Yes, I am married."

Li Bingbing and other disciples were surprised to hear that. "He got married?" While Li Qin's eyes sharpened.

Li Qin – Then, why are traveling alone.

Xiao Lin smiled and said – Oh, it is a secret.

Li Bingbing – Sorry, senior for my sister's question.

Li Bingbing turned towards Li Qin and spoke in a low voice.

Li Bingbing – Are you insane? Why are you asking about his private matters? He is already patient and gentleman enough to answer your questions. Now you are asking more.

Li Qin did not care about Li Bingbing while focusing on Xiao Lin.

Li Qin – Are you a sword practitioner?

Xiao Lin – Yes. I am a sword practitioner.

Li Qin said to other disciples in low voice – Maybe he is from the Xiao family in the Meng nation. They are sword practitioners right.

Others also nodded hearing this.

Li Qin shouted before Li Bingbing could stop her – Are you from the Xiao family?

Xiao Lin didn't stop his steps as he already expected this question. Xiao Lin turned towards Li Qin and gave a small smile. While turning back.

Seeing this Li Qin can only remain silent. They reached the inn after an hour.

Xiao Lin – Take care of yourself. Goodbye.

Ice sect's disciples – Thank you, senior.

Xiao Lin with his smiling face walked towards the inn for his dinner. Like always he sat in the corner and had his food. The ice sect also had their dinner there but did not disturb Lin again. As he already said goodbye to them.

While they were having dinner, others were talking about something.

Customer 1 – Did you heard the Soul sect was attacked today? Everyone died in the attack by the mysterious person.

Customer 2 – This is already the fourth big incident in recent times. I don't know what is happening in the Meng nation.

Customer 3 – Don't speak it casually, it may offend someone.

Customer 2 – Okay.

Ice sect disciples are surprised to hear this news of the Soul sect destruction.

Li Qin looked towards the Xiao Lin sitting in the corner eating his dinner, not caring about the surroundings.

After dinner, Xiao Lin walked towards his room after paying for dinner.

While the Ice sect disciples returned to their rooms.

Li Bingbing – Now I know why senior Li asked us to be careful. It seems Meng is not peaceful nowadays.

Li Qin – But he seems too alone. Did he not care about these incidents?

Li Bingbing – Only weak people like us have to be afraid. Senior Li seems to be stronger like our sect master. I don't how did he become stronger at a young age.

Li Qin – Maybe he is talented.

Li Bingbing – But why was not know among the famous martial artist of the Meng.

Li Qin – I also don't know. Maybe he living a normal life with his wife.

Li Bingbing – Why did you seem to be offended that he got a wife?

Li Qin – Why should I be angered for that?

Li Bingbing – Do you crush on him?

Li Qin – How could that be possible? Who am I the daughter of the Ice sect? How could I fall in love with a stranger? Even more, he seems to be a player as he never cared about us seeing his upper body.

Li Bingbing didn't believe her sister's words but nodded.

While the Xiao Lin was looking towards the full moon which seems to be sad today. After an hour he went to sleep.

Next day.

Xiao Lin as usual woke up in the early morning. After cleaning himself went to have breakfast. After paying for it he walked out of the inn towards his next destination Elephant sect.

Elephant sects will be hard for the sword practitioner as they harden their body like a stone for defense. It will be good practice for Xiao Lin.

Soul attack will be very helpful for him. But directly confronting them will only end up injuring himself. So, he decided to have a detailed plan to exterminate them.

Xiao Lin thought was interrupted by a greeting of the ice sect who came to greet him before their departure to their sect.

Li Bingbing – Senior Lin we are lucky to see you. We are preparing to leave the inn. We forgot to thank you yesterday. Thank you for taking care of us.

Xian Lin – It's okay. We had the same path and I helped you to guide you to the nearest place to stay. Have a safe journey. Don't involve in a fight inside the Meng, as they may think of you as an enemy due to the recent situation. Good luck with your journey.

Li Bingbing – You too have a safe journey senior Lin.

Xiao Lin nodded and moved in the direction of the Elephant sect.

Li Qin who was late missed a chance to ask a doubt she had yesterday. She can only ask him later when she again see him someday.

Li Bingbing saw the Li Qi smiled and said: Sister we don't have time to rest. We have to reach the next resting place before the sunset.

Li Qin and others saw the disappearing Xiao Lin in the distance. After they started to move in another path as they have the plan to reach a certain place for resting before the sunset.

While Xiao Lin was started his planning for the next extermination.

"I can't fight them all as a single person. I should weaken them like a soul sect disciple to have an easy way of killing them. But how."

"Should I poison them? But I don't have any skills regarding poison. I don't want to poison myself when I was trying to poison them. They should have a weakness like other sects."

"Using fire is okay but it will take a lot of my energy and it may become a weakness for me during the fight."
