Lee Family

In Xuan Village,

"So, granddaughter, did the village chief give you the map?" Zhao Ming turned his head at his granddaughter and spoke.

"Yes, grandpa! Let's go. I will show you the idea in his mind." Zhao Xin nodded her head and took her grandpa away alongside Han Yang and Tu Shen. As for Zhu Ping and Ming Shen, they went to search for the talents in the village.

As for Zhao Yin, she went to the village captain who was currently in his home.

"Jan, why aren't you going for your duty?" A hoarse voice rang from his home and paused her footstep. Zhao Yin didn't enter the house rather stayed outside.

"Che, I don't understand. Why did you even support that kid? Why do you and your father always support that kid? He's just a kid. Do you think he can lead the village?" Captain Lee's voice rang from the house and made Zhao Yin frown.

She came here because Lee Jan didn't submit the list of the soldiers. Originally, Zhao Xin was supposed to come here but she had to show the map to others and also explain the plan. But, she didn't expect Lee Jan to hold the opinion on Gu Tan.

The anger burst inside her but she quickly controlled herself.

Inside the house, Lee Che was standing in front of his brother Lee Jan. He sighed and spoke "Brother, do you know why I became the Elder while you became the Captain? Or, why I couldn't become the Captain and you couldn't become the Elder?"

"Don't me that example again! Do you support a ten-year-old kid and call yourself smart? No, you are not smart. You are turning into an idiot, brother. Snap out it! He is just a kid." Lee Jan shouted at his brother with anger bursting out of his eyes.

Pat!

Suddenly, an apple flew from behind and hits his head.

Tap! Tap!

Slowly, a figure walked inside while speaking "If it was Village Chief, he would've caught the apple without even looking at it."

"Now, even you!" Lee Jan rolled his eyes and shouted "Am I your son or he is? Why are you two supporting him so much?"

Slap!

At this moment, Lee Che suddenly slapped Lee Jan and spoke "Did you forget that he is your father? Is this how you speak to your father? And, do you think you are as good as him?"

"Don't make me laugh! One day, it only took him a single day to expose the traitor of the village. Do you know the recent incident? He almost killed the fourth-stage cultivator. And, what is his cultivation? First Stage! Yeah, he almost killed someone who is three stages above him. And, you want to control yourself to him."

"I didn't become elder just because I have a brain. If I wanted to become Captain, you could have never got that position. Understand, in this world, both brain and body are necessary. Do you think we supported him just because of some reasons speculations? No!"

"We supported him because we know how much the village will support him. Just go out and ask the villagers! Ninety out of a hundred will support him. Do you know why? Because he used his entire childhood creating a positive image and the image of a genius in others heart."

"Do you know any of his plans? No, you don't. You want to know why he is a Village Chief and why I supported him. Because he showed the village after ten years. That's the village that I dreamed of. And, he wanted to make it a reality. That's why we supported him."

"I know you feel bad and even biased but remember, don't make any silly mistakes. Give him a chance and he will show you the vast world."

At this moment, Lee Che finally calmed down and Lee Jan turned silent. Uncle Lee stared at his sons and sighed. He turned at the door and spoke "Let's not continue this discussion and welcome the guest waiting outside!"

His words startled Lee Che and Lee Jan. They didn't expect someone to be outside the house. Lee Che hurriedly rushed to the door and opened it.

"Girl Yin, when did you come? Please come in! Please come in!" Lee Che was surprised to see Zhao Yin outside. He hurriedly invited her inside.

As she moved inside, she saw the packages and every item inside the house was getting packed.

"Captain Lee, I am here for the report." Zhao Yin walked in front of Lee Jan and spoke. She could see some unwillingness and anger still remaining on his face. But, she still raised her head and spoke while looking at his eyes.

Lee Jan narrowed his eyes upon hearing her. He wanted to shout at her as well but he controlled himself.

'Give him a chance! Since you want me to give him a chance, then I will. But, if he doesn't show me the new world, I will never accept him as a Village Chief.'

Lee Jan took a deep breath and turned around. He went through a few packages and finally found a box with papers. He lifted the entire box and walked up to her.

"Be careful! It's heavy..."

Although he tried to control himself, there was still some haughtiness in his tone. As she extended her hand, he dropped the box, hoping to fall down. But, it didn't even move her hand.

"I will take this. And, Captain Lee, the village is waiting for your patrol outside." Zhao Yin turned around and left the house. At this moment, Captain Lee felt strange emotions in his heart.

Emotional Damage!

"Puff! Hahaha! Oh my god, you got thrashed by her." Lee Che couldn't help but burst into laughter seeing his dumbfounded expression. Lee Jan tried to rebuke but Lan Che patted his shoulder and said "Brother, just do your work and try to improve! Otherwise, these geniuses will leave you to dust."

Even he was surprised by her strength. He didn't expect her to reach the first stage so soon. For him, Gu Tan reaching the first stage doesn't seem surprising but her, it was surprising.

Lee Jan clenched his fist and left the house, banging the door.

"Take care of him and don't let him do anything stupid!" Uncle Lee patted his son's shoulder and said.

"Don't worry dad, I won't let him make the same mistake. And, it's not his fault. Being pressured by an old brother who is not only smart but also strong, he becomes frustrated especially when others compares him to me." Lee Che smiled and nodded his head.

Bam!

The next moment, he got a slap on his back as Uncle Lee shouted "Don't be so shameless!"

"Ouch! You don't have to beat me to tell me that." Lee Che felt pain in his back as he shouted.

"By the way, Village Chief told me that he can cure my body." Uncle Lee took back his hand and spoke.

Lee Che's eyes widen as he asked "Seriously?"

"Yeah but on one condition. He wants me to become the Village' Blacksmith." Uncle Lee sighed and spoke.

"Wait, how did he know you are a blacksmith? Don't tell me his master can even see through that?" Lee Che asked with surprise.

Uncle Lee sighed and spoke "It's not that hard to find. There are three requirements for a blacksmith. Fire and Metal Veins, Strong Perception, and Strong Arms. I have strong arms and strong perceptions, and this is not a secret. And, his master could easily see through my crippled Fire and Metal Veins."

At this moment, Lee Che slapped his fist "That son of a gun! No wonder, he was so confident on me awakening a powerful Elemental Veins. He already knows your veins."

"Wait, he told you that he awakened your sleeping Elemental Veins?" Uncle Lee asked him with surprise.

Lee Che nodded his head and said "Yeah, he told me that I can awaken strong elemental veins. He must have known this. He controlled us with such ease."

"Hush! He indeed did. Elemental veins are normally fixed. When you were born, I was already crippled. That's the reason why your Elemental Veins were sleeping and I don't have a way to awaken them. But, I wonder how he is going to heal my veins?"

"Dad, Jan should have also inherited your veins, right?" Lee Che asked with excitement. After all, no matter how much they bicker, he was still a big brother and naturally cares for Lee Jan.

Uncle Lee shook his head.

"Wait, why doesn't have your elemental veins?" Lee Che asked with surprise.

"Because he possesses his mother's elemental veins. Remember, once he awakens, there will be the greatest storm in the Xuan Village, the black clouds will appear and that will be the nirvana of a dragon." Uncle Lee smiled and spoke with a proud face.

Hearing about his mother, Lee Che paused for a moment. Even though he was already twenty-four, he has never ever seen his mother. His father never told him about his mother. And, Lee Che always wondered.

'Where are you?'
