Volume 1 Chapter 29 (1/2)
Standing in front of the Wu family gate, Di Hongtian looked back with a long sigh, then turned and strode away.
In the world of martial arts, countless sects were searching for his whereabouts. It was very clear to him that once he stepped out of the Wu family and appeared in the world of martial arts once more, he would inevitably be entangled in fierce fighting.
Clatter. . . Clatter. . .
Out of the Jianzhonglin Clan, a red horse slowly trotted ahead and stopped in front of him.
Looking at the horse’s rider, Di Hongtian was suddenly dumbfounded.
“Meier. . . ”
On horseback, the girl in the green dress turned her head to one side.
Bitterness immediately appeared on Di Hongtian’s face.
Although he told the Wu family that he would leave for some time, he did not tell them the specific time of his departure. However, Wu Meier unexpectedly followed up and stood in front of him as if she had already known his intention.
”Meier, it’s too dangerous this time. I might not even be able to protect myself, let alone a.s.sure your safety. So, you can’t follow me this time,” he said seriously.
”I just want to go out and walk around. What makes you think I intend to follow you?” Wu Meier murmured.
”Meier!” Di Hongtian raised his eyebrows and then clenched his teeth, saying, ”If you aren’t obedient, I’ll have no choice but to send you back.”
”Fifth Brother, what’s next, you want to hit me?” Wu Meier's eyes widened and immediately grew red. She said in a sad voice, ”Grandpa just pa.s.sed away and now you want to bully me?”
”Mei, Meier. . . ” Di Hongtian was confounded and didn’t know what to say. “You, you . . . ”
He shook his head and couldn't understand why because she was completely different from before.
Wu Meier was gentle and sensible. How could she use such a shameless tactic?
”I’m just going to look for the Lingyu fruit this time, so there’s no need to make a big fuss. If I keep a low profile and stick to obscure places, I will certainly face less trouble. . .” Di Hongtian carefully thought about all the possibilities. ”To completely hide my whereabouts, I must know the movements of all the forces in the world of martial arts. At least, I must be self-centered enough to know the situation within a radius of tens of miles.”
Seeing he was silent, Wu Meier felt very anxious. She seemed quite calm, but she was very upset indeed, and worried Di Hongtian would send her back recklessly.
She wanted to stay with Di Hongtian and have knowledge about whatever he was up to instead of worrying about him at home.
With her heart tightening, she watched the small changes on Di Hongtian’s face.
”Well. . .” Di Hongtian took a long breath and looked up at her. He suddenly became nervous.
”Okay!” He shook his head and said, ”You should always obey my orders while we’re away from home.”
”No problem. I will absolutely obey you and do whatever you ask me to do. . . ” Wu Meier was very excited. With these words, she realized what she said was improper and her face suddenly flushed.
Di Hongtian sighed helplessly and headed forward. Wu Meier urged her red horse to follow him closely.
Once out of Jianzhonglin, they headed directly for the nearest small town. He handed the Sword Zhongfeng to Wu Meier and entered the town alone. Wu Meier wanted to follow him, but was stopped by him due to his prerequisites.
Wu Meier was annoyed, but she had no choice but to stay out of the town, worrying that he would leave her alone.
Di Hongtian did not make her wait too long. Within half an hour he came back, which brought her great relief.
Di Hongtian walked to the side with the sword on his shoulder while Wu Meier rode on her horse close behind. Together, they headed to the route to Mohe County.
The location marked on the map by the Wu family ancestor was directly located inside Mohe County.
