Chapter 1203 The Cowherd

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Xiao suddenly heard a rustling sound not far away.

With his mind outward, Chen Xiao's mouth suddenly curled up into a faint smile.

On the other side of another hillside about a kilometer away from Chen Xiao, a young man who looked about eleven or twelve years old was driving two buffaloes slowly towards this side.

Chen Xiao had seen that young man last night. He was also a member of Huangshan Village, but he only saw him from a distance last night and didn't know much about him.

But when he saw him, Chen Xiao was a little surprised. All the other children were studying in that private school. Why did this guy come out to herd cattle?

After waiting for a while, the cowherd finally moved slowly towards this side.

Soon, the cowherd also saw Chen Xiao, and immediately wanted to drive the buffaloes around Chen Xiao to go somewhere else, obviously afraid of disturbing Chen Xiao.

However, Chen Xiao was deliberately waiting for the little guy again. Seeing that he wanted to leave, he smiled and waved, saying, "Don't leave in a hurry. How about coming and chatting with me?"

"Ah? Sir... I... I..."

When the little boy heard Chen Xiao's words, his red-lipped and white-toothed face was suddenly full of nervousness. He was so nervous that his face turned red.

Seeing the nervousness in the boy's eyes, Chen Xiao smiled and waved his hands and said, "Don't be nervous. I'm just chatting with you!"

After Chen Xiao said that, how could the boy dare to turn around and leave?

Otherwise, if the village chief knew about it, he would scold him to death!

Moreover, he didn't know the character of the god in front of him. If he annoyed Chen Xiao because of his retreat, it would be a big trouble.

Thinking of this, he could only squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying, and walked towards Chen Xiao with stiff steps. After walking about five meters away from Chen Xiao, he stood there crisply, but did not dare to get closer.

Chen Xiao didn't care. He looked away from the cow that was eating grass leisurely not far away, looked at the boy standing in front of him, and said with a smile: "Sit down too? Let me ask you a few questions. I see that many children of your age have gone to the private school to study today. Why didn't you go?"

After hearing Chen Xiao's words, and finding that Chen Xiao really didn't seem to blame him for accidentally bumping into him before, the boy's flushed face finally calmed down a little.

Especially after hearing Chen Xiao's question, a trace of sadness flashed in the boy's eyes, but he still forced himself to smile at Chen Xiao and said: "Sir, I should have been studying in the school at this time, but some time ago, a tiger bit my brother to death, and my mother fell ill due to heartbreak. Now there is no one to take care of the cows and farm work at home. I can only temporarily suspend school to take care of my mother and these farm work, but Uncle Huang will teach me the missed courses in the evening, so there is no big problem!"

It turned out that the child bitten to death by the tiger was his brother!

Chen Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the boy standing in front of him seriously.

The boy's lips were red and his teeth were white. Although he was not handsome, he was outstanding. He was one of the few good-looking villagers in Huangshan Village. Although he was immature, Chen Xiao could see a trace of tenacity in his eyes.

This was not seen in many people of the same age. Obviously, the boy's experience was definitely not simple.

After thinking for a while, Chen Xiao asked again: "What about your father?"

"My father was accidentally bitten to death by a wild beast during a hunt when I was three years old. There were only my mother, my younger brother and I at home. Now my younger brother is gone..."

Speaking of this, the boy's eyes were obviously red.

No father since childhood...

No wonder Chen Xiao saw some precociousness in his eyes. It seems that he is another guy forced by life.

"Put your hand over here, let me take a look!" Chen Xiao said lightly.

Although he didn't know why Chen Xiao wanted to see his hand, the boy still walked forward as he said and handed over his slightly skinny little hand.

Chen Xiao was not polite, he stretched out his hand to grab it, and a trace of magic power instantly penetrated into the boy's body.

After a moment, Chen Xiao's eyes lit up slightly.

After his magic power exploration, he unexpectedly found that this little guy was very suitable for cultivation, and his aptitude was really good. If he was cultivated, there should be no big problem for him to reach the level of breaking the void.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao also became a little interested, and he spoke again: "I don't know your name yet, what is your name?"

"My name is Huang Yue!" the boy replied.

Chen Xiao nodded slightly, sat up a little straight, looked at Huang Yue and said in a deep voice: "Huang Yue, are you willing to worship me as your master?"

"Worship you as your master?" The young Huang Yue's eyes widened a little, his face full of shock and disbelief.

But, he reacted quickly, and immediately knelt down on the ground in Chen Xiao's slightly smiling and approving eyes, and kowtowed to Chen Xiao three times.

"Master, please accept the greetings of your disciple Huang Yue!"

"Okay, from today on, you will be my registered disciple!" Chen Xiao nodded with a smile.

The reason why he is a registered disciple is that Chen Xiao doesn't like trouble. If he really accepts a closed disciple, he must be carefully trained, which is something Chen Xiao can't stand, so he just treats him as a registered disciple.

Huang Yue doesn't care about the title of registered disciple. In his opinion, whether he is a registered disciple or not, he is already Chen Xiao's disciple!

Last night, he heard the adults in the village talking about Chen Xiao all night, saying that Chen Xiao could fly and hide, and that he could scare away three tigers with just one look, etc., all of which made him fascinated.

In Huang Yue's view, Chen Xiao was a god-like figure!

Now that such a figure was willing to accept him as an apprentice, what else could he complain about?

Chen Xiao was quite satisfied with Huang Yue's attitude. With a wave of his hand, a storage ring appeared in his hand, and a large amount of spiritual stones in the storage ring were transferred into this storage ring. After thinking about it, he also put a lot of pills into it.

After doing all this, he said to Huang Yue: "Stretch out your hand!"

Huang Yue immediately did as he was told without hesitation.

Chen Xiao stretched out his hand and lightly touched it, and a drop of bright and dripping blood immediately gushed out of Huang Yue's fingertips, which was then sent into the storage ring by Chen Xiao. After continuously inserting dozens of restrictions into it, he threw the storage ring to Huang Yue.

"This is a storage ring, specially used to store things. I left you some cultivation resources in it, which should be enough for you to cultivate to the Void Breaking Realm. Next, I will teach you some exercises. I will stay here for a month, and then I will leave. What you can achieve in the future depends on you. Do you understand?" Chen Xiao said calmly.

"Disciple understands!" Huang Yue immediately nodded excitedly.
