Chapter 3: Knight Examination (III) (2/2)

Long Hao Chen hurried forward, trying to help her to get up, asking her embarrassed, “How are you?”

The little girl looks surprised and she unconsciously moved back, looking at him from the side. At this moment, Long Hao Chen saw the appearance of the little girl.

A lot of dirt was on her beautiful cheeks, the corner of her mouth letting out a thread of blood. She looked very embarrassed, but still easily shocked people. However, her beauty was different from Long Hao Chen’s. Long Hao Chen’s gaze was gentle, giving people a feeling of intimacy. But although this little girl is young, her gaze looked stubborn and cold, and as she suddenly stared at him, Long Hao Chen couldn’t help but shiver.

Seeing Long Hao Chen, the little girl looked surprised. She doesn’t know if it is because her affinity with Long Hao Chen was good enough, but she quickly calmed down.

“Are you okay?” Long Hao Chen asked one more time.

The little girl lifted a hand reluctantly and wrote a line of word, “I can’t speak, bad people are chasing me, they will arrive soon. Sister, save me.”

Looking at the words written in front of him, Long Hao Chen was shocked, but when he read the last words she wrote, a few black lines appeared on his forehead.

“It is brother, not sister.” After defending himself with one sentence, in a depressed tone, he lifted the little girl up, full of compassion. Because he passed the knight’s examination, his strength was already at the level of an adult’s, plus the little girl’s body was especially light, so when holding her, he did not find her heavy at all.

After lifting her up, Long Hao Chen went back to the spot he was at, using a rough rope to pick up the wild herbs. But at this moment, the little girl anxiously pulled the lapel of his cloth.

Long Hao Chen gawked at her, hurriedly placing her on the ground, and the little girl wrote quickly on the land: “I feel their presence, they will arrive right away, they can track my scent, go quickly, otherwise it will be too late.”

Long Hao Chen’s brows wrinkled, and he firmly shook his head, saying: “Out of the question! As a man, I must to protect you.” Even though he was only 9 years old, as he said these words, his beautiful little face contained an incredible resolution.

“Your scent?” The expression in Long Hao Chen’s eyes changed. Very quickly, he extracted some parts of these wild herbs, pressing them with his hand before rapidly rubbing them on the little girl’s body as well as his own. Afterwards, he ran to the side, carrying her towards bushes, and placing her carefully in the middle of these brushes. At this point, he lied on his stomach, using his elbows to support his body.

He didn’t notice that in the moment he was doing this, the little girl he protected stared at him with a strange look, without moving at all.

As Long Hao Chen just finished hiding, he heard some noise from outside, and from a gap between the bushes, he secretly looked at them, seeing a group of men in black clothes. These men’s figures were very tall, and even hidden, they still stank a little of fishy smell. Among these people, some were specialized in smelling odors.

“Why does the scent trail end here? What if this little girl got someone to rescue her?” These unpleasant husky voices resounded in the woods.
