25 Masked Experts (2/2)
Her words were dripping with anger. ”Father might have adopted you when your own family died fighting the beasts, but you and I are not siblings.If what I do annoys you, then look the other way!”
Having said this, she ripped her hand to herself, turned around, and left the young man standing where he was. His eyes were filled with complex and mixed emotions.
”To think that a random young man suddenly is worth more to her than I am,” he mumbled to himself, and a slight killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Wang Xiaoyun rushed back to her caravan where she went to sleep, half depressed and half elated. ”I know that I cannot stay like this, but just one more day together with him would not be bad.”
Thinking like this, Wang Xiaoyun drifted off to sleep. While she was sleeping, Xue Wei was busy training under the moon. He dared not enter the bathtub with his herbal concoction because he knew that it meant that he would be in a trance-like state for an extended period of time, and then he would not be able to accompany Wang Xiaoyun.
Since this was the case, all he did was some ordinary cultivation. He would train his abilities until he ran out of Qi, and then he would restore his Qi through cultivating his Azure Dragon Scripture.
The night went by and the morning arrived. Xue Wei once more went to get Wang Xiaoyun, and this time she was waiting for him on the outskirts of the caravan.
The two were in their own worlds. They were smiling and having fun, but they did not realize that more and more people noticed them.
Xue Wei had always stood out. Everyone knew who he was, and seeing him together with this unknown girl caught people with curiosity. There was a chance that she would become his wife and thus be related to the famous Xiao Lei. As a result, people tried to find out who she was, and it was not hard to figure out that since this unknown girl had appeared at the same time as the Wayfarers, she was most likely one of them.
The more skilled ones realized that Wang Xiaoyun was the young miss of the entire Wayfarer caravan, and they figuratively leaned back, preparing to be entertained. Everyone knew that Wayfarers only married other Wayfarers, so at some point, the older generation would separate them and their emotions.
At the same time, Xue Wei was not very liked in the city, and he had even crippled the sons of the He and Jia families, so it was likely that he would be able to create some problems for the Wayfarers as well.
Most people found it entertaining to see what was going to happen, but no one felt sorry for Xue Wei or Wang Xiaoyun.
The third day, Xue Wei and Wang Xiaoyun were out walking together. They found themselves in the central marketplace when suddenly they were surrounded.
Three experts were standing in a triangular formation around them, all wearing masks. Their strength was clearly at the ninth layered Ordinary Warrior rank.
”I would like to see how you flee this time,” one of them sneered. ”If you try, we will take your little miss and play with her instead of you,” another grinned while the third just stayed quiet.
Xue Wei had heard them, but he just sneered at them. ”You think that you can entice me to fight you from that alone? Who said that I could not take her with me?”
Having said that, Xue Wei grasped Wang Xiaoyun's hand and activated the Forbidden Rush ability. Although he was not as fast as he was when he was on his own, he was still able to flutter away together with Wang Xiaoyun.
A moment later, they were a few meters away from the encirclement that they had been in. They grinned at each other, turned on their tail, and started to run away.
They did not let go of the other's hand. Instead, they squeezed their hands tight and ran, and continued to run fast and far away without looking back and without caring for where they were running towards.
This happened time and time again the same day. More than twenty experts of the ninth layer of the Ordinary Warrior rank were out looking for them. Every time they were spotted, they would have to run for it.
At the start it was okay. It was even somewhat entertaining, but as it happened time and time again, Xue Wei understood that someone was targeting them.
”They are getting into bigger groups,” Xue Wei said right as they escaped past seven experts at once. This time, they had been gathered in an almost perfect circle that made it near impossible to escape.
Xue Wei had the support of the Forbidden Rush ability, and if he was alone then it was no problem to escape, but dragging Wang Xiaoyun with him required extra focus, time, and energy.
