The Invincible Corruption Manual-Chapter 21 CHAPTER 20 : The Blind Old Man

Mie lien and Joey started attacking each other without any care. They become equally matched afterward. This continues for about half an hour.

Joey began to tackle all her moves skillfully. At last, he made a feint to strike on her neck and managed to hit her on her shoulder. Due to the momentum of increasing the speed and also the non-stop fighting, the force of the palm strike managed to push her back 4 steps.

She caressed her shoulder slowly, whimpered at him with a fake pain," Ouch! That hurt! "

" Zi Zi, are you okay ?" He approached her and asked worriedly. He removed her hands covering her shoulder and checked on it. But he could see that there was not even a bruise on her shoulder.

Knowing that her fake acting was uncovered. She pinched at his cheek with a grin and spoke out, " Little kiddo, what about another round? "

Joey made a forceful smile and pleaded, " Zi Zi, I am tired out already. Maybe next time. "

" Snorty brat, you are the first one to outsmart me at the same level," she said to him with a thump. A blush appeared on his face after hearing her praise.

" Tee - hee, so cute . " she giggled and pinched at her cheek again with more strength this time.

" Ouch! That hurt," he complained and sulked slightly at her.

She looked at him lovingly and thought," This kid has changed completely . Maybe something to do with that accident. His hidden potential may have been kicked in after his recovery from his death's door ."

( She always thought that her brother would not be able to cultivate in this lifetime . )

" Which weapon do you use? If it is a sword, then I can give you some pointers," she asked suddenly at him.

" Longbow, " he said.

" What! But you were so good in melee fights before . " she was shocked to hear that.

" Is he also good in range attack ?" she asked herself in his mind.

" You can go to Hawk's eye for his pointer," she added.

" Hawk's eye is really here ? " he became excited and asked her. Joey's predecessor just heard about the achievement of the great archer, Hawk's eyes. But he didn't know him well.

" You come along with him here. Also, you seem to have a closer relationship with him. Oh! You really don't know him ? " she hinted while holding her chin with her right palm.

" You mean Captain Chao is the great archer, Hawk's eye ! " he exclaimed out immediately while remembering that the mountain's top turned into dust after a hit from his one arrow.

Afterward, she told him to come to her office if he needed anything from her.

" Ha ha ha, fighting you really makes my blood boil. We will spar every morning from tomorrow onward," she remembered and left the chamber quickly.

After she left, Joey spoke to Long Ai telepathically," Sister Ai, are you there? "

" Oh brat, I am," She replied.

" Do you find anything strange about my sister? " He inquired worriedly.

She kept quiet for a while and replied," One thing is clear. She is a real halfling dragon like you. There is also some complication in her dragon root. It must be some treasure related to our dragon clan that helped her to break through to the hentian realm. Also, she seems to fail her cultivation breakthrough multiple times after the houtian realm. "

She continued," It means one of your parents is a pure dragon. "

" My father is totally human. It may be my mother. But she looks just like a human and has no horns on her forehead. "

" That means the problem comes from her," she spoke out casually.

" What do you mean! My mother is the problem ? " he freaked out.

" I will need to meet her personally to see her problem," she said.

" Can you help my sister as you do to me for now? "

" No, I don't have another reverse scale like I used to. But I can help her in other ways by checking her problems thoroughly. I need to observe her more for now. "

After saying that she remained quiet no matter how Joey tried to communicate with her.

Then, Joey came out of the training ground. He asked a guard outside the training ground regarding the meteor hammer team's residence.

Sometime later, he met the fatty Xiaobo at the entrance of their team's house. He was currently snoring loudly while his back was behind the wall.

" Senior Xiaobo, wake up ." He pushed him hard and Xiaobo opened his eyes with fright.

" What the hell! Oh, it is you ." At first, the fatty tried to brawl at him but he calmed down quickly after knowing that it was Joey, who woke him up. He smiled honestly at Joey.

" Senior, is your team captain inside the house? " Joey asked him.

"Oh, you come here to meet the captain. He is inside. Come come, let's go to his room " he walked inside the house followed by Joey.

After a few minutes, they appeared before a room door.

" Captain, Joey is here. We are coming inside ." The fatty said out loud without any care and walked inside the room before the captain could reply. Joey too followed him inside the room.

Currently, Captain Chao was sitting on an armchair beside a table while reading many bundles of papers lying on the table.

" Captain Chao, you seem busy. I will come later then ." Joey said and tried to walk out of the room.

" Wait! Your highness. What do you need? For you, you can come to me every time you like ." Captain Chao said quickly, stopping him from leaving.

Joey walked back and sat on a chair beside Chao.

" Fatty, why are you standing there? Go bring some hot tea. " Captain Chao demanded of him. Then, Xiaobo excused himself from the room.

" Captain, I will say straight to you then. Can you give me some pointers on archery ?" Joey asked him with a serious look.

" Sorry, I can't . " he rejected quickly without thinking at all.

" Why? "

" I am not qualified enough to teach you ." Captain Chao said honestly. f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶

" But you are the Hawk's eyes. "

" What I mean is that I am not good at teaching. But, I can recommend you to someone I know here. " Chao said to him.

" Then, let's go meet him right now. " Joey said to him. 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎

After they walked out of the room, they met fatty Xiaobo at the entrance of the room.

Xiaobo had a kettle in his hand. He asked," Captain, what about the tea ?"

" You can drink it all by yourself ." Captain Chao said to him while passing him.

" You shitty captain. You always make me do this. Next time, this fatty will never make tea for you ever again . " the fatty shouted at him.

Afterward, Joey and Captain Chao appeared before a hut at the far corner of the northern fort here.

" Master, I am here," Chao said from outside the hut.

" Come in . " an old voice spoke from inside the hut.

They entered the hut. Inside, an old man was sitting on an armchair while smoking with a pipe in his mouth.

" Oh, you bring a guest here too . " the old man said softly.

Joey looked at the old man. He didn't feel any essence of aura from the old man. The man had white hair and a long beard. Moreover, he could see that the old man was completely blind.

He exclaimed in his mind, " What the hell! "
