Chapter 11: A difficult choice to make

Li Jie was shocked by the fact that he can meet this man of unknown origins anytime by entering the training pagoda which was in the Li family castle under the scrutiny of his father,

then he asked tentatively "Honored Sir, I have one last question, Who are you and Why are you giving me such precious chances?".

"Well that's a lot of questions haha, well "who I am", is something you are not qualified to know at the moment,

maybe one day you will, or maybe never, who knows what the future unfolds, as for why I chose you, well I was bored and had nothing to better do so I thought why not play around a bit, and you are not the only one, who I have guided, there are many, uncountable in numbers who I have taught them things which suit them perfectly", said the middle-aged man in a serious tone. Li Jie understood from this, that he is not some chosen or someone special, there are others like him, who were guided or benefited from this mysterious master, he especially got tensed on the part when he heard the man say "he teaches them things which suit them perfectly",

so does that mean, the path of sword suits him best, he couldn't make up his mind on what is right and what is wrong, it was a tough decision to make, he didn't want to make any mistakes,

which could make him feel regret in the future or else he would have chosen the infusion of bloodline without any hesitation but something inside of him was stopping him,

an unnatural force from his heart which was his main cause of hesitation and he couldn't be sure about choosing the path of sword because bloodline infusion has instant and long-term benefits and without any risk plus he will be getting an extremely powerful bloodline,

it was the perfect option for anyone but then why was he hesitating, he wanted and needed to get stronger so why even think about it all,

contemplating so much information in his tiny head made him get a headache, he sighed and relaxed, he knew when to relax and let nature take it's course.

Li Jie gave the sword lying on the ground in front of him a look then got up and said "Honored Sir, I will be giving you my decision as soon as possible" Li Wei slightly bowed, the man gave a chuckle and said,

"ok, by the way, you must not tell anyone about my existence lest they get scared, haha, after all, I have made it so that the instructors here who were supposed to teach you are all under the illusion created by me that they are teaching you, so you know what to do right if someone asks you about your lessons", knowing how smart Li Jie was for someone his age he would figure something out by himself.

Li Jie helplessly smiled at his words, nodded, and then left for the door, when he left the training pagoda, the man looked up his eyes closed, and when they opened, his eyes had a mysterious lustre after which he smiled and he said,

"Let's see if it's in this boy's fate or not to get this sword source" after which there was a ripple in space and the whole area suddenly turned blur which leads to the whole change of scenery inside the pagoda,

instead of the middle-aged man, there were many grand-master stage fighters with different weapons to teach, who looked like nothing had changed there,

and it can be seen from their perspective that they were teaching the young master of the Li family about all the weapons, their usage, their pros, their flaws, and everything that they could explain about the weapons they used,

and according to them now the young master of the Li family has to choose a primary weapon to major in which is his choice to make,

surprisingly these grandmasters didn't detect even a little bit of anomaly that just occurred in the pagoda!!!

It was the time of sunset when Li Jie left the training pagoda and was just wandering aimlessly not knowing what to do, he came to the watchtower of the castle, from where he could observe the scenery outside of the castle,

where he could be seen climbing the steps on the ladder which lead to the top of the watchtower, usually, he would come here with his maids and servants,

but today he came here alone because he didn't want to be disturbed by anyone, and after reaching the top of the watchtower, he looked at the sunset and uncountable mountains which had lesser height than the one on which the Li family castle presided,

it can be seen by him that the other mountains also had cities developed on them which were under the jurisdiction of the Li family and is managed by the branch families supporting it.

Then suddenly there was a bang sound produced somewhere beside him, which made his eyebrows frown to which he stood up cautiously and reached for the place from where the sound came to him,

when he went near, he saw a young boy in his teens holding onto a bag of fruits grasping them tightly, and trying to hide from something or someone, the young boy panicked but before he could say anything they both heard a commotion from behind.

Two young boys of 10 years can be seen running as if chasing for something, who wore the attire of the Li family when those two boys were almost near him,

the young boy who was hiding in the corner took a light wooden basket which was beside him at that moment, put it on him and covered himself with it, seeing the whole situation suddenly transpiring from one moment to another, made Li Jie frown, as he didn't want to be involved in someone else's trouble.
