11 Chapter 11 – Blood Linghzi (1/2)

Bai Ling was flustered and gave a shy smile looking at the young man. She took his hand, got up and said ”Thank you for helping me.”

”It's not a problem. Let's go check on the others” and walked towards the injured people in distance. Bai Lin came back to herself and ran towards the middle aged man.

She went to him and felt relieved to find that he is not dead; he just lost his consciousness. He was bleeding from his head and chest, and looked like he had few broken bones. She gave him a healing pill and helped him absorbing it using her Qi. Meanwhile, Zhu Xuan also checked the other three and gave them healing pills.

After that, he walked back towards the dead warthog to collect its tusks and blood. He couldn't help but think ”This warthog is not very intelligent, and charged at me like a mad bull. Thanks to that, and it being already injured from fighting them, I was easily able to kill it. Or else there is no way I could fight it, much less kill a peak ninth level demon beast.”

By the time he collected the resources from the warthog, the others regained consciousness. When he got to them, they bowed and said ”Thank you Young master for saving our life.”

”It's not a problem. The sound of the battle would have alerted other demon beasts nearby, we should leave this place. There is a lake nearby, we should move there and rest for now.” He said calmly.

The middle aged man named Bai Wuji, who is uncle of Bai Ling replied ”Yes young master. Lets move from this place.” He paused and then asked, ”May I ask the name of the young master, and which family you belong to?”

Bai Wuji thought he must be a young master of a wealthy family or a clan, considering what he learned just now from his niece how he fought and killed the demon beast.

”I'm Shikong Shen” replied Zhu Xuan calmly without any emotion showing on his face and didn't say anything further. He used the name from his life on earth and inverted his first and last name.

Bai Wuji understood this young master didn't want others to know his background and didn't ask further.

They moved to the lake and sat under a tree nearby to rest. Zhu Xuan asked, ”May I ask who is that young man and his group, and what is the treasure you were speaking about earlier?”

He tried to check his memory about this young man and his background. But he had no knowledge of this Cai Guo or any Cai family. He realised this group may be from one of the other two cities. Snowcape Demon Mountain serves as a border for not only Qinglu city. The Mountain is so big it also serves as a border for two other cities, Caifu city and Tanxin city.

Bai Ling looked conflicted to share the information about the treasure and looked at her uncle for guidance.

Bai Wuji looked back at her niece and said ”Its fine Lingér. At our current condition, we can't go against their team and fight over for the treasure, so we might as well tell Young master Shen the details about it.”

Bai Ling calmed herself down and spoke ”That person is young master of Cai clan, Cai Guo from Tanxin city.” That confirmed Zhu Xuan's thoughts.
