Chapter 301: Compatriots (2/2)

”True... sister is much capable than I,” Shi Yinfu relaxed, who then sighed, looking dejected of her statement, ”Well, it's good too, we could have some leisure looking at the scenery around. Uncle Ming, how do you think?” She forced a smile.

Shi Chongming who captured that tiny gesture of the girl, feeling his heart aching, also forced a smile, ”Yes, miss. I had been the plain only on a trial when I was much younger. It's been quite sometime...”

A shriek was heard.

Shi Chongming flinched... he whispered, ”I'll have a look.”

”Take care,” nodded Shi Fuyin in a smile.

He headed out and saw a running figure coming towards them.

It was Rui Bing.

She quickly held her steps, from total mobility to zero. Such skill! Shi Chongming complimented.

The tainted garb, the dirty face, it must be a practitioner in training! And it was a girl!

It was a rare sight to see a female practitioner, especially one who would undergo a tedious training like this. Only the practitioners who had mastered the skills would undergone a harsh training to further hone their skills.

Shi Chongming was also a practitioner himself and he had undergone similar training when he was younger, so he knew how tedious the training could be, he felt impressed of the girl's bravery.

”My sincerest apology for causing such havoc.” Being alert, Rui Bing acted politely as she bowed at the far, ”Would fellow gents tell me the direction to the nearest city?”

The voice was clear, the tone was soothing, exuding a different kind of sensation to the ears, a pleasing personality. Shi Chongming was again, impressed, for such girl maintained her modesty despite her masterly skills.

Shi Chong suddenly was inspired. He got an idea!

...

... ...

”What the heck just happened?” Ye Chong's flat voice was giving shudders to everybody. As more men had gathered by the gate, Sang Fan and his gang had started feeling stressful. Sang Tie was as if fighting the Great War, guarding the entrance surrounded by crowd. The strength he demonstrated was great, so no one dared to step to the front to provoke.

The Sangs converged their sight at Hai Lian in disconcert, wondering why Hai Lian would want to save this lady, since it was not a culture for them to save strangers from a fight.

Hai Lian pulled the White Streak girl away and kneeled before Ye Chong, he begged in shriek, ”PLEASE! Sir! Please save my compatriot! Please! I plead you!” He torn his right sleeve and there revealed... also the same white streaks.

”Ah!!” The girl was shocked, ”Ha...ha...” Her tears were wetting her eyes, that was the first compatriot she had ever seen other than her mother.

Ye Chong was silent, because he was not sure of the situation yet.

Hai Lian knocked his head on the ground vigorously as he kneeled, a typical sincerest begging position at the most pathetic plight out of the greatest desperation. His forehead was bleeding, the girl at the side was crying, pulling the arm of Hai Lian, muttering an imperceptible language as distorted by her sobs.

”Sang Fan.” Ye Chong frowned, ”Lift him.” He pointed, at the manically behaving Hai Lian, whose forehead was stained by streams of his blood and tears. It was terrifying especially with more blood dripping from the corners of his lips.

Sang Fan forcefully lifted Hai Lian. The strength was so great, Hai Lian could not even struggle.

The compatriot grasped Hai Lian, like a treasure, a long-lost brotherhood, as her tears showering her pretty face, mumbling unknown words.

Sang Ling could not see this scene anymore.

”Guo Ren, mind briefing me what happened?” He would like to ask Hai Lian but that guy seemed to have lost his ability to speak currently, so he asked Guo the Old Chief instead.

So Guo gave a briefing on the backstory of the White Streak tribe, which gave a shock to everyone. ”Dammit!” Angered Sang Tie, ”This is inhuman! These people are cruelty! Lian my brother, no worries! Nobody would dare to even touch you with me at your side!” He tapped his chest and demonstrated deep brotherhood. The remaining Sangs seemed to be enraged of this bloody fact as well.

Sang Tie's passion was great, but sometimes too great with that booming voice of his. The others could feel their eardrums rupturing, including the white streak girl, ”Tie!” Shouted Sang Ling, ”Sir is just right here! Have some manners! If you want to shout, shout elsewhere!”

Sang Tie withdrew himself, feeling embarrassed.

Normally, if something tragic happened to a total stranger, Ye Chong would refuse to even express his slightest sympathy, since there were many, many more people who had suffered worse fate... like he himself for example, who did not even know who his parents were. But well, Hai Lian was still a partner of his, so no way he could ignore this.

He turned his head to Sang Fan, ”Tell Sang Huo to move everyone here. We would be meeting 10 kilometers outside the city. Be prepared.”

”Yes sir!” Replied Sang Fan, the Sangs were looking happy while Hai Lian crashed the ground with his knees again, ”T-t-t-t-t-thank you.”

The White Streak girl also kneeled along. Hai Lian was having blood and sweat staining his face, as they dripped to the carpet, ”From n-n-n-now on...” His voice rang hoarsely, ”My life would be yours.” Worshipped he along with his compatriot.

”What is going on?”

”Did the masked man send a rock flying five floors high?”

”The Masked Man is a danger.”

”They did it again?”

The crowd was collecting at the hotel and did not intend to leave as they looked at the strange group inside the lobby.

At this stage, it would be impossible to cover up their whereabouts anymore. They had been dragged under the spotlight. Well then, it is time to gamble again.

Thought Ye Chong as his eyes traveled through the rumbling crowd outside the hotel, setting afar.
