C21 (1/2)
It would not be difficult to hide one person on such a large mountain peak. Ye Qian never thought that his clothes beside the spring water would actually become a flaw that attracted the two people who were chasing after the girl over. The girl who had been stuck in the spring water was obviously trembling. She cursed in her heart: ”This damned guy, did his grandaunt get killed by him?”
Ye Qian heard the footsteps getting closer and closer and his heart became calm.
”I am a tiger in the mountains, a dragon in the sea. I am a great hero in the human world!”
At that moment, not only was Ye Qian not quiet, he started singing a little tune, as if he was trying to attract the two people over.
The girl in the water was startled, his expression tensed up, her small hands grabbed onto Ye Qian's waist and squeezed hard, causing Ye Qian's face to turn from the pain. If this girl could come to the surface, he would even have the heart to kill Ye Qian.
”This damned fellow, once those two fellows leave, I will definitely let him have a good time!”
Sure enough, after Ye Qian's voice was heard, a response immediately came from the dark forest: ”Boss, there's someone at the side of the spring?”
”I heard it!”
As she got closer, the girl became more and more nervous. She held her breath to prevent the bubbles from forming on the surface of the water. This was the only thing she could do now.
In just a few seconds, two figures had already stood beside the spring water. They looked at the center of the spring water with vicious gazes.
”Boss, there's someone over there!”
The two of them noticed Ye Qian almost immediately. Ye Qian was currently facing away from them, as if he did not notice anything, and was calmly bathing happily, at the same time he was constantly moaning.
”It seems to be a man!”
”Hey, kid …”
A rude voice rippled across the surface of the water and reached the center. Ye Qian acted as if he was shocked and quickly turned around. Then, his body suddenly sank as he stared at the two people on the shore.
At this moment, there were two men standing next to the spring. Both of them were bare-chested, and under the moonlight, they could clearly see the tattoos on their arms. The two of them were around thirty to forty years old, and their faces revealed a menacing look. It was obvious from one look that their hands were stained with human life.
Ye Qian was extremely ”nervous” and subconsciously dodged: ”Are, are, are you calling for me?”
”Who else can you call her if not me? Brat, you sure are in a good mood. Alone here in the middle of the night, do you want to take a bath?”
Ye Qian feigned ignorance, ”That's right, I was playing in the mountains with my classmates today and got lost. They left me alone on the mountain. ”I've been walking for a long time, but I still haven't found my way down the mountain. I saw a spring water here, so I came over to wash up!”
Before Ye Qian's spiritual will had awakened, everyone in school had called him Stupid Ye. If he pretended to be stupid, he would naturally be more like that than anyone else.
The two men on the shore looked at each other, they obviously did not believe what Ye Qian had said, but Ye Qian's foolish expression did not seem like he was lying, so the two of them hesitated.
”Boss, do you think this kid has a problem?” Lao Er asked the boss.
The boss' eyes were narrowed, his expression cold as he spoke towards Ye Qian who was in the water: ”Kid, did you just see a woman pass by here?”
”Female?” Ye Qian played dumb and rubbed his head, ”No, I've always been the only one here!”
The two of them looked at the water surface, as though there was nothing wrong with it, and said: ”Lao Er, seems like there is nothing wrong with this boy. Let's go, this Shouyang Mountain is not small, maybe that girl isn't hiding here!”
”En, alright. We will look for her somewhere else. She is injured, so she shouldn't be able to run too far!”
Their voices were loud, as if they were doing it on purpose.
Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, Ye Qian immediately ran towards the shore: ”Two uncles, wait for me, wait for me!”
The two of them were startled, they did not expect that Ye Qian would run over himself. Turning around to look at Ye Qian, they were extremely shocked.
Ye Qian walked to the shore in a few steps, he immediately put on his clothes and laughed: ”My two uncles, are you guys coming down the mountain? Bring me down, I don't know where you're going. It's been a long time since I've walked out, you guys take care to bring me down the mountain!”
The two of them revealed a faint smile at the same time. They didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.
”Brat, aren't you afraid that we're bad people even though we're born in the middle of the night?” Lao Er smiled sinisterly.
Ye Qian ”scared” and quickly retreated two steps: ”Ah, you guys are bad people, then, then I won't go with you guys, I will just obediently stay on the mountain and wait for Uncle Police to save me!”
”Lao Er, enough, stop wasting words with this fool. Hurry up and leave, we still have important things to do!”
”Yes, boss!”
The two of them glanced at Ye Qian again, and then turned to leave. Looking at the two's backs, Ye Qian's eyes immediately became gloomy: It seems like the two of them walk the same path as Body Training, with a body full of skill, it's just that they are a little weaker. He didn't expect that on this earth where the spiritual energy was so thin, there was actually such a special group of people.
But Ye Qian was not surprised, after all, in all of the Nine Realms, there were cultivators who had a fighting strength and a lifespan that exceeded that of an ordinary person, so it was not strange for there to be cultivators on Earth.
After standing in place blankly for a long while, until he felt the other party's footsteps had gone far away, Ye Qian finally recovered his original appearance. There was no longer any foolishness in her eyes, what replaced them was a sense of playfulness and enchantment.
