Chapter&xA0;7: Overseer Wang Li

Hearing that the overseer gave the young boy a job, the other workers could not help but sneak a glance towards the young boy who immediately started to , no one made fun of him, nor did they question why he had wanted the job They just observed the young man as he moved the crates, one at a time, towards the shoreline part of the harbor A cart aiting for them so they could be sent to the shops in the city

After they saw the young boy working earnestly and how his face was starting to sweat like their own, they felt respect for him Their respect increased evencrates, the boy continued, sweating hard but showing no signs of giving up

Seeing this, all the older reatly surprised When it cath, it see they had a hard ti His speed was also very si that he was definitely a cultivator

The other workers were not the only ones watching the young boy The overseer spent thechild His eyes narrowed and his hands clenched and unclenched once in awhile All this time, his eyes were focused on the boy but also so important

The day turned to dusk and the sun set on the other side of the sea The blue seawater and the blue sky turned purple froly beautiful that even Xu Min, whose heart was filled with hatred and vengeance, had to stop to enjoy the beautiful scene

As Xu Min was observing the beautiful sunset, a new group of workers arrived at the harbor The voice of the overseer rang through the air, &x201C;Everyone gather up! Time to switch shifts Co the voice, laughter could be heard in the harbor as everyone went towards the overseer and gathered up in front of hi at the harbor was a job that could only be done if the workers had a certain ah strength, they wouldjobs This meant that the job as a worker at the harbor was neither really good nor bad

After waiting for his turn, Xu Min was astonished when he received five copper coins Although five copper coins was only enough to pay rent for a bed and get oneboy had ever earnedFa he had was given to him, or provided by the fae, Xu Min never saw any sort of payuard Neither had his older sister

Just as Xu Min was about to walk aondering if he should sell some of the plants he had found, he heard the overseer&x2019;s voice, &x201C;Wait I still need to speak with you kid,&x201D; He said it in a whisper right next to him Xu Min instantly stopped in his tracks and obediently stepped aside, waiting for the overseer to finish his job

The overseer&x2019;s job was not done yet As soon as he finished paying the workers at the harbor, he had to spend another half an hour explaining to the new overseer which ships were unloaded already and which ships still needed to be unloaded He also needed to report what happened during the previous shift

While the overseer orking, Xu Min stood co for the overseer to return to him He was in no rush since he had nowhere to return to in this city All he needed to do was to find an inn and spend the rest of the night cultivating

&x201C;It&x2019;s good to see you waiting for me,&x201D; A deep voice sounded Xu Min was startled, because he had not expected to hear any voice froht behind him He was a cultivator, hoas it possible for hiuy was a Warrior it still should have been possible to detect his movements

&x201C;Now follow me,&x201D; The overseer said, as he turned around and walked into the dark alleyways leading frohtly before he decided to follow the man It was obvious that the overseer&x2019;s cultivation base was far above his own and if he had wished to harm him, he would have done so already

The truth was that Xu Min was curious He was curious to knohat rank this man had achieved and how he could sneak up on hih one alleyway after another, Xu Min had quickly lost track of where he was and which way they wereboy still rushed behind the older overseer, following hi for half an hour, they arrived at a shabby looking house attached to other siood condition Watching the overseer open the creaking door, Xu Min would have guessed that it would fall froes at anythe house, he saw that it was not as shabby as on the outside Inside was a small stove and a bed Apart from the overseer, no one else seemed to live in the house, but unlike the outside, both the stove and the bed seemed to be well-maintained At the foot of the bed was a chest with a lock on it; as to as locked within the chest, Xu Min had no way of knowing

&x201C;Welcome to my home,&x201D; The overseer said casually as he kicked his boots off and sat down on the bed &x201C;So, tellmaster who escaped from home?&x201D;
