Chapter 151: Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian (1/2)
“Brother, you are wounded.” Ning Xue, leaning on the familiar shoulder, gently stroked the bloodstains. Her voice was so soft, yet it contained a weeping and sobbing kind of distressed tone. Ye Wuchen whispered in her ears, “Don’t worry Xue-er, brother’s wounds have already healed, and the wolf has been vanished by your sister Tong Xin. Listen, don’t be sad. Look, your sister Meng is also hurt.”
“En… I won’t be sad anymore.”
A drop of tear fell on Ye Wuchen’s shoulder, she secretly wiped it away. Facing Meng Zhi, she asked in concern, “Sister Meng, are you also hurt?”
Meng Zhi did not hear her, because she was shocked, utterly shocked. All her life, she had never been utterly shocked like this before. The moment Tong Xin made the Blood Wind Wolf disappear into the thin air made her remember something that was recorded in the ancient books that had been handed down for a thousand years. Only the God-Level dark masters had the power to carry out the forbidden dark curse of the devil of the darkness, the power that could make the living cells of an organism transform into the elements of the darkness, then completely dissipate between heaven and earth.
Right now, a young girl had similarly carried out the most terrible act in front of her eyes.
And the murderous spirit and eyes of the young girl, as well as the cruel punishment she had done to the Blood Wind Wolf had shown Meng Zhi that if she were to know that Ye Wuchen’s wounds were sustained because of her, the one that would disappear would not have been that big wolf.
Ye Wuchen obviously knew what her meaningful glance implied, he proceeded in front of her and asked, “Can you still walk?”
Meng Zhi was having a hard time shifting her gaze away from Tong Xin. She walked a few steps, but unbearable pain came from her foot so her body also swayed a bit. Ye Wuchen put down Ning Xue, proceeded ahead preparing to help her. Meng Zhi gestured for him to move away, but Ye Wuchen grabbed her wrist and he said indifferently, “I advise you not to try to be brave, your wounds are too deep and are also affecting your bones. If you force yourself to walk, you will open your wounds one at a time, and your whole foot will fester. At that time, prepare to become a single footed fairy.”
For a woman who was accustomed to being perfect, she would not dare to risk it leaving a few scars, let alone losing a foot. Her face went pale, and eventually she did not insist anymore, allowing him to put her arm around his neck.
“Let’s go.” Ye Wuchen nudged the startled Meng Zhi.
Meng Zhi stared at him, puzzled, and asked, “Are you going to carry me on your back?”
After asking, she regretted it. Turning her face away she did not dare to look at him again.
Ye Wuchen glared at her, and asked in a laughing tone, “You are too greedy. Even though I am really tired, I am helping you walk, but you even go as far as to have me carry you on my back?”
“Y-y-you let go of me, I can walk by myself.” Meng Zhi’s face turned bloody red, using all her might to push Ye Wuchen aside and ignoring the pain in her foot, she staggered as she stubbornly walked ahead.
Ye Wuchen looked at her back, in a low voice he said, “Women, they are actually narrow-minded beings. Too bad… You’ve seen something you shouldn’t have, even if you want to leave it will be impossible now.”
After a few minutes, they reached the end of the forest, and before their eyes was an impressively huge manor. They were directly facing a brown gate where a gold gilded signboard hung, on it were two words “Xi Men”.
“So that’s the way it is. Since we headed South all the way, we accidentally intruded inside the territory of the Ximen family. No wonder they had a considerably strong spell inside this area.” Ye Wuchen said. The fame of the Ximen Family was well know around the Tian Long City a long time ago. The reputation of the Ximen Clan had played a critical role throughout the Southern area of the Tian Long Nation, standing side by side with Dongfang, Nangong, and Beiming, they formed the four pillars of the nation, assisting each other. If one of them suffered from an attack of the enemy, the other three would react accordingly, so that nobody dared to provoke these four magical military families. This was also the rule of existence that the four magical military families had relied on to stay strong for many hundreds of years.
“This is actually the territory of the Ximen Family.” Meng Zhi had been emotionally moved. Although she was not used to travelling outside, she knew about the world’s different influential families and understood them more thoroughly than Ye Wuchen.
The major part of her body weight relied on Ye Wuchen, her right arm hung around his neck and left foot was on the ground while the injured right foot softly hovered the ground. Her posture was extremely dubious. Her stubborn attitude did not maintain long enough because of the pain in her foot and her fear of becoming the “single footed fairy” so she compromised and proceeding forward with the support of Ye Wuchen. For being snuggled close to a man, she had not imagine this before, but now her heart contained only a tiny bit of resistance and a voice that steadily occurred inside her mind. Being carried by him, even her feet were being touched by him… These were nothing, because in the future, she would… kill him.
The gate of the Ximen Family residence was tightly shut. Only a good-looking, medium built, young man was standing in front of the gate. Seeing them coming from the forest, he hurriedly went in front and welcomed them with a smiling face, “What an honor to have you as our guests. Pardon us for not welcoming you earlier, it’s our fault. Unknowingly…”
The voice of the young man suddenly stopped short, his face exposed an expression of alarm. Ye Wuchen thought he lost his attention temporarily because of Tong Xin or Meng Zhi, as he composed himself he actually found out that the young man’s gaze was firmly fixed on his own face, his heart doubted.
The young man’s expression switched from being alarmed to a face full of enthusiasm, he excitedly said, “This gentleman, are you Master Ye from Tian Long City?”
“Oh? Do you know me?” Ye Wuchen took a few glances at him to confirming that he had not seen this man before. The only possibility left was…
The young man became more excited, as he responded at once, “My family name is Ximen, with just a single name, Qing. That day, I had fortunately witnessed the talent of Master Ye’s exceptionally great skills. I only regret that I wasn’t able to make friends with you in person, I really didn’t expect to meet you here today, I almost thought there’s something wrong with my eyes.”
Ximen… Qing!? Ye Wuchen’s whole body stiffened. Finding a good name was not hard, why would he get such name with a unique personality.
