《Rise of the Great Emperor 》Chapter 108: Performance Group

"Feel free to take a look. You might find one that might be suitable for you," Zhongsun Shan said politely.
Lin Xiao nodded and looked one by one. He tried to grab the sword and lift it up. It was then he realized that each sword here had different weight that was also affected by its shape. He was still thinking about which one would be the best for his skill.
Mountain Sword was a skill that emphasized on both attack and defense. It was steady and surely sharp. As for the sword that was given to him while training, if Lin Xiao was not wrong, it was one edge sword.
He looked down and already eliminated several of them from his decision to pick the sword. After some time, Lin Xiao noticed that there was one sword that was relatively smaller than the others yet the weight remained the same when he lifted it up. Lin Xiao was astonished then told the manager. "I'll pick this one."
"Alright, the sword is 244 gold coins."
Lin Xiao nodded and paid right away. His heart was actually bleeding like a waterfall right now. He knew very well that if it was not because of Wang Luo Sect Core Disciple, Luo Mingyue, there was no chance for him to even stand here and negotiate. But the store had already given him benefit, so Lin Xiao also accepted the price.
Once they had finished, Zhongsun Shan and Lin Xiao exchanged a few more sentences before they left Feng Yi Auction House.
"I feel a bit overwhelmed," Lin Xiao muttered after he had walked a few steps away from the auction house.
Wenren Yu nodded. "That manager is even more powerful than Zhongsun Shan. However, I can't be too sure about his real strength."

Unlike many of them that wore the token that showed their strength, the manager didn't wear one. Not to mention, the aura that he was suppressing had already caused both Wenren Yu and Lin Yun to be cautious.
They didn't want to put themselves in trouble either, so they were careful in what they were doing.
"It's good that they didn't treat us badly," Lin Xiao said calmly.
"Your standard is so low, Brother."
"But it shouldn't be weird, right?"
Lin Yun followed his brother's finger and noticed that there were two people who were thrown out from the Feng Yi Auction House. Looking at their expression and clothes, it was not hard to guess that these two must be villagers who wanted to try their luck too.
Well, it seemed that it was a common occurrence for villagers who were curious about the city to enter auction house to check on the items.
But thinking of the shy high price of the items, Lin Xiao completely abandoned the thought of entering again if he had nothing to do.
"Would you two need weapon too?" Lin Xiao asked the other two.
Wenren Yu and Lin Yun shook their heads. They were also given wooden sword and learned Mountain Sword from Elder Wang for the past few days. However, their result different greatly from Lin Xiao as they were still far away from reaching the comprehension that Lin Xiao had.
For the time being, they would rather use the training sword rather than real sword. After all, they still couldn't properly control their skill well and if they accidentally injured someone, it would be very bad. The wooden swords were already the safest option for their current power.
As for Lin Xiao, they were not too worried since Lin Xiao was indeed better.

"There's nothing that we miss, right?" Lin Xiao looked at Feng Yi Auction House not far behind him.
"There shouldn't be anything."
"In that case, we should visit the performance group. Eh wait, where are they?" Lin Xiao was about to walk happily when he realized that he didn't even know where the members of the performance group were staying.
"Let's ask."
They asked the passerby and soon figure out that the performance group was staying in an inn not far from the square.
"They're living in the inn for the time being. Are you trying to get into their group? Forget it, they have high requirement for skill."
Lin Xiao merely smiled at the advice thrown to his face. "Thank you, but I would like to try my luck."
"Youngsters."
The three of them didn't need to walk for a long time for them to find the performance group. It was not like the performance group was trying to hide their tracks. Within short period of time, Lin Xiao and the other two had already found the performance group that was staying in the inn.
The inn's name was Morning Inn and was known to have good reputation. The situation inside the inn was very lively when the three of them entered the place. In fact, it looked as if there was a party that was thrown even though it was still afternoon.
There were also a lot of people who looked at them for a moment then focused their attention back to what they were doing.
"Are you sure to ask them, Master?" Wenren Yu asked in low tone.
Lin Xiao was stunned. Not because of the question, but because of how Wenren Yu addressed him. In the past, Wenren Yu would never talked so politely in front of him. After all, they treated each other as friends. But now…
Seeing Lin Xiao's gaze, Wenren Yu showed a helpless smile. At this time, it would be hard to reveal his identity. And since he clearly didn't look like the other two, he didn't really want to pose as their siblings. Heck, even Lin Xiao and Lin Yun didn't really look that alike with each other.
After all, they were not blood related.
Lin Xiao swallowed the words he was about to ask Wenren Yu regarding the address and nodded. "Yeah, there's nothing wrong with asking, right?"
"Fine."

What kind of changes can these people bring to the world where magical and supernatural forces exist? What will be the future of each of them in this mysterious story? Come with me to travel and discover all this in... Magic x Magic... - - / - Hey, guys! I want to tell everyone that I managed to recreate a text structure that satisfied me. Finding this new structural formula, I proceeded to rewrite all the released chapters (0000~0048). Rewriting the chapters, I would like to make it clear that; 1 The basis of the story will not change. Only a few small details will be changed, so that those readers who do not want to re-read the chapters will not be harmed in following the story. 2 Those interested in starting over will be rewarded with the introduction of new POVs of some already established plots from the already released chapters. And as I said before, the entire story already developed will not change. Treat this as a way of enriching some plots and backstories for some characters. 3 I decided to bring some plots that would only appear after finishing the first arc. These storylines don't have a development in this arc, but they are storylines that are happening at the same time as the events of the first arc. So there are some more mysteries to reward those who will re-read the novel. Rewrite Update:New Reading Aid Rule: Incomplete.Prologue to Book 01 (Arc 01): Incomplete.Rewritten Chapters: 0000. I want to warn you that for now the chapters are being released gradually, don't give up on me... For more details visit my Patreon page, you can find details about me and the novel 'Magic x Magic' in public posts. A big hug to everyone!Cover art by me, ScanLi.
