Legend of the Great Sage

Chapter 9: 9

The gate closed behind him . Li Qingshan looked around as if he had not noticed the tense atmosphere in the courtyard . Instead, he made his way over to caretaker Lius table . It was located right before the hall, located under the largest elm tree in the centre of the courtyard . It was the main table, and everyone who sat at that table had status in the village .

To caretaker Lius left and right were village head Li and the witch . They were the three people with the most authority in the village . There were also some elders of the village seated there too, with the only young people being village head Lis two sons, Li Hu and Li Bao . They were both broad-shouldered and stalwart . They glared at Li Qingshan .

Caretaker Lius gaze shifted away slightly . After just a dozen or so days, Li Qingshan seemed to have become a different person . Caretaker Liu was unable to pinpoint exactly where Li Qingshan was different, but he was simply different from before . He just had an additional aura about him .

Village head Li remained dignified but his gaze was hostile, while the witch was filled with undisguised hatred .

Normal villagers would no longer be able to remain within the village if they had offended any single one of them, let alone all three at the same time . Their only choice would be to lower their heads and apologise . However, Li Qingshan would never lower his head .

There were many rules to a feast within the village, stressing everything from seating arrangement to sitting posture . Li Qingshan saw how the other tables were full and only this table had some room, so he sat there boldly . He said, “Why arent you eating? Have you all been waiting for me?”
