Chapter 352 Courting Death!
Chapter 352 Courting Death!
"Is there a problem, gentlemen?" Seeing how the man changed his tone, Song Liu's eyes became confused and she looked at the woman beside her with a questioning gaze. Seeing the gaze, the veiled woman sighed before sending a thought transmission.
"I heard you were bothering our junior sister?" Yuan Ming came forward with a serious look and his broadsword in his hand.
"How can I do that?" The man changed his attitude real quick and rubbed the back of his head with a confused expression.
"I was just asking for their names; if I were bothering them, I would like to apologize." He smiled and made way for them before saying. "I would not hold you guys any longer."
Tian Heng exchanged a glance with Yuan Ming, both sensing something amiss with the man's sudden change in demeanor. But they decided to let it go for now, especially since he was allowing them to leave without further trouble.
"Let's go, junior sister." Yuan Ming placed the sword back inside the makeshift sheath he was carrying on his back.
Song Liu nodded gratefully, relieved to see her senior brothers coming to her aid. As they started to walk away, she couldn't help but feel a lingering sense of unease about the encounter. The veiled woman beside her remained silent, her gaze still sharp and alert as they moved through the crowd.
Even though she warned Song Liu that the man was lying she did not tell her why, she did not want to taint the woman's innocence with the dirt of the world. She glanced at the young woman and her eyes flashed with determination.
"Gather the people, keep an eye on them, and tell me if they meet someone else before leaving this city." Seeing one of his men approaching, Laing Wei glanced at the crowd gathered around them coldly before giving him the instruction.
He wanted to see if they really had a strong backing with them or if they were just making some excuse because of how shabby Yuan Ming's sword looked. How could disciples of a sect carry something as shameful as that?
"Oh Me~ You can call me Shisan" She replied in a polite tone but her eyes remained focused on the boy as if she was stalking a prey.
"Hmm... I think I have heard of this name before, but I cannot remember when." Tian Heng looked in thought as they continued to walk, "It should be impossible, I would remember meeting such a beautiful woman such as yourself."
Shisan's lips twitched hearing her words as she thought. 'Like master, like disciple, both are perverted.'
"But enough about that; please tell me more about this elder of yours." She suddenly smiled and changed the topic and asked again. "Is there anything else you want to let out about that elder?"
"Now that you mention it... that elder is kind of a pain, always coming in my way of... Ahem!" While Speaking he suddenly coughed before glancing at his junior sister shortly.
"By the way, I even find your voice familiar." After he stopped talking about the elder, Tian Heng stopped to look at the woman, "First your name sounded familiar now even your voice too. It reminds me offf...."
As he paused to think, a clear image appeared in his mind, which overlapped with the face of the veiled woman. He ignored her face and focused on her eyes, which made him realize where he had heard the name before.
'You can leave without your junior sister, she has another mission with Elder Shisan.' The voice of his master echoed in his mind while his feet staggered backward.
"What happened? Why are you acting like that? You were not finished yet." The more he walked back, the more Shisan walked forward. If he had any doubts before, he was fully convinced about the identity of the person before him.
"Run, Yuan Ming, it's the monster woman!" saying those words, he turned around and stumbled before running away like his life was in danger, which was not really wrong after the words he just said.
