about surviving.
Only what the people here were doing could truly be called living.

The city was not big, and it did not take long for Xia Zonghai and Xia Fei to walk out of it.
The entire way, Xia Zonghai had praised Xia City and had even introduced some of the famous clubs to Xia Fei.

“Xia City seems very small.
How many residents does it have in total?” Xia Fei asked.

“About fifty thousand people,” Xia Zonghai said after some thought.

“Fifty thousand!” Xia Fei paled in shock.
“The Skywing Clan has only fifty thousand people?!”

Xia Zonghai rolled his eyes at Xia Fei.
“Why exactly are you so surprised?”

Xia Fei loudly replied, “Of course, I’m surprised! The Skywing Clan has only fifty thousand people in total, but it produced thirty-some Law Emperors and even Law Overlords! This… percentage of talented people is too high!”

It was hard to blame Xia Fei for his shock.
The Yu Clan had more than one million people, but it had produced only three Law Emperors and zero Law Overlords! The Moonward Clan was one of the Nine Great Clans of mankind.
Impressive, right? It had three million people, but it only had forty-seven Law Emperors and three Law Overlords!

However, the Skywings had only fifty thousand people, yet it was on par with the three-million-man Moonward Clan! How could Xia Fei not be shocked?!

Xia Zonghai appeared rather proud, heartily laughing.
“That’s only if you judge things by the ordinary principles of the Law Realm.
We’re the Skywings!”

Xia Fei showed his tongue.
“Even though there are fifty thousand, I still haven’t seen that many.
There can’t be more than ten thousand people living in Xia City.”

Xia Zonghai laughed even harder.
“Who would anyone just sit around at home and do nothing? We, Skywings, have so many hobbies and interests; we also like adventuring.
While there may not be a lot of people in Xia City, signs of our clan can be found all over the universe.
Any place that’s dangerous or has anything strange will be visited by people of our clan.

“Let’s take the Galewind Garden for example.
Normally, no one is there except me and Xia Wuye.
You’ll understand once I tell you this story.
Do you know how I got into the Law Enforcement Board?”

Xia Fei shook his head.

Xia Zonghai thumped his chest and stomped his feet.
“Ah! Getting into the Law Enforcement Board means living in White Horse Constellation for a long time.
None of the members of our family could stand that desolate lifestyle, and none of us was willing, but the Law Enforcement Board requested a Skywing representative, so we drew straws back then.”

Xia Fei swallowed and mentally asked, ‘What? Everyone is anxious to get into the government to make a name for themselves and plan out their future career.
As for the Skywings, they even needed to draw straws to select a representative.
This difference between people seems a little too big, right?’

He then curiously asked aloud, “So you’re saying that you lost?”

Xia Zonghai’s face darkened.
“I get frustrated whenever I think about it.
How could my luck be so bad? I can’t believe I got burdened with such a terrible job.
Still, my ten-year term is almost up, and then we can draw straws again.
I definitely won’t lose this time!”

Xia Fei was rendered speechless.
Xia Zonghai was saying that the Law Enforcement Board was a terrible job?! All those other people trying their hardest to get into the Law Enforcement Board would probably lose their minds if they heard this.
This was just how free and laidback the Skywings were.

From a distance, one could see a mountain thirty kilometers away from the city.
The mountain was not particularly tall, but it was steep and precipitous.
A large and simple building stood alone on the summit, accompanied only by a few cloud pines.

Xia Zonghai pointed at the building.
“Up on that mountain is Windrider Pavilion, one of the Skywing’s clan schools.
Only the most talented children of the clan can enter it.”

After a pause, Xia Zonghai added, “Our clan has been able to produce so many elites because of the Windrider Pavilion and its master, Xia Laoshi.
Let alone me, even Patriarch Xia Buyun was mentored by Grandpa Laoshi.”

Xia Fei was surprised and felt some admiration for Windrider Pavilion and Xia Laoshi.
Someone who could raise so many super experts could not be simple.

“While our clan is very free and laidback, this comes at a price.
The experts in particular have the heavy responsibility of protecting the clan.
The people you saw in Galewind Garden have all been trained at Windrider Pavilion.
Of course, once they leave this place, the clan won’t require anything of its elites, not unless you’re an unfortunate soul like me and pull the bad straw to work at the Law Enforcement Board.” Xia Zonghai resentfully shook his head as he spoke.
He apparently was unwilling to recall his experience at Windrider Pavilion.

At the peak of the mountain, outside of Windrider Pavilion’s main gate.

At this distance, Windrider Pavilion seemed like an ancient temple at the top of a mountain.
The red walls rose to a height of three meters and circled the summit.
Outside the gate were two elderly cloud pines.
It was like the legendary cultivation grounds of immortals, suffused with a transcendent aura.

There was no one to be seen, but the laughter of children could be heard from inside.
Presumably, these were all children of the younger generation of the Skywing Clan who had been chosen to cultivate in Windrider Pavilion.

Xia Zonghai utterly refused to go inside Windrider Pavilion.
He pulled Xia Fei to the side and mysteriously said, “I’ll send you only up to here.
You can go in yourself.
The patriarch already explained the situation to Grandpa Laoshi.

“Since we have a pretty good relationship, let me warn you about two things: One, Grandpa Laoshi likes money—loves it in fact.
Two, Xia Laoshi isn’t honest and sincere in the slightest.”

After saying these inexplicable words, Law Emperor Xia Zonghai turned around and made a run for it!
