That night, Xue Wei returned to his room. In the last two weeks, he had only returned to his room to change clothes and wash up, but this night he slept in his own bed for the first time since he found the library.

He was unable to sleep and unable to rest. His entire mind was focused on the next day, and he was scared. He knew that the rumor about him had already spread throughout the entire city. The servants in the mansion were unable to keep such juicy information to themselves, therefore, every single person knew about how the amazing Xiao Lei, the hero of humanity, had taken in a nephew who was trash. He could not cultivate, and he would never be able to best his uncle's amazing achievements.

Because of this, he was worried, but he still left his bed as the sun rose in the east. He dressed himself in his most beautiful robes. He chose a white robe with blue embroidery of clouds and phoenixes.

He did not know anything about his previous life, but he knew he had never before worn as extravagant clothes as these.

As he dressed himself, he looked like any other normal young master. His skin was fair after having been inside for as long as he had; his hair was long and glistening; and his eyes were bright and intelligent.

The only thing that made him seem different was his aura. No matter what, he did not have an aura that contained Qi. He could not cultivate and only ordinary mortals were like this.

Some women would never cultivate in their lives because they were not required to enter the war against the Primordial Beasts, and they had other tasks to deal with in human society. However, to see a young man not cultivating was truly a shameful thing.

Although Xue Wei was an attractive young boy, he was clearly not a woman. Therefore, everyone who looked at him could easily determine that he was a piece of trash; he was someone that could not cultivate or save the world. He could not even kill a Fierce Beast.

As Xue Wei thought about this, his already pale face turned even paler, and he started wondering if he had made the right decision to go out with his uncle.

"I’ll just tell him that I can't do it," he mumbled to himself, but just as he was about to do that, Xiao Lei knocked on the door. He entered, and his eyes were sparkling with excitement; his face showed a great smile. He was seemingly very excited, and seeing him like this, Xue Wei could not bring himself to ruin his uncle’s cheerful mood.

"Uncle, where are we going today?" he asked instead, and Xiao Lei went over to him and started to look at his clothes, straightening his belt and making sure he looked proper. "We are going to vist a good friend of mine," he said. "He has a son that is your age, so I’m sure that the two of you will become good friends."

Hearing this, Xue Wei almost snorted. It was probable that this person would pretend to be his friend because of his strong uncle, but he would never consider Xue Wei a proper friend… Who would? Xue Wei was incapable of cultivating!

Xiao Lei seemed to understand his train of thought, and the excited smile dimmed slightly, but he quickly restored it back to its bright appearance and started ushering his nephew out of the room.

"Come on, come on, I am sure that Shen Mu will be a great friend!"

"Shen?" Xue Wei was quiet for some time while thinking. He had read every single book about Tiankong City, and one of them had mentioned the Shen family.

The Shen family was currently in charge of Tiankong City, one of the largest cities in Heping Kingdom. They had been City Lords ever since the family had managed to produce a Heavenly Warrior in their midst, something that brought great pride to their family and established them as a true hegemon amongst the other families in Tiankong City.

Xiao Lei was not from Tiankong City. He was a Primordial Beast Hunter and had estates all over the continent, but after he had taken in Xue Wei, he had not left Tiankong City.
