The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 286 - Delayed Farewell
"We don't know what else to thank ..."
The woman was teary-eyed, even though in the situation that was so pressing, she seemed to remain strong. Perhaps that is what keeps the YuangXe people afloat even if their land is trampled.
"But this whole land is already burning. It's too late."
"There are so many trees in this place. You don't have to worry about us. It only took a few months to recover YuangXe. It's just, today I'm more relieved."
The woman felt that a large stone that had been placed on her shoulders and her husband had disappeared. Keeping the war god Armor at the expense of his own life was a difficult task, he had hesitated to give the heirloom to Xin Chen until the YuangXe people denounced him.
But seeing what was happening now, when they were unable to even defend themselves, the young man came to their rescue. "I'll remember this forever. Your kindness I hope will be like a waterfall that never ceases to flow. Lucky today I met someone like you."
"There's no need to hesitate so-" Xin Chen recalled something, he was a bit hesitant to reveal it to this woman.
"What are you saying?" the woman said as if reading her mind.
"You got food supplies?"
The woman was a bit unsure but she replied, "We have."
"You have only a little. I can't take it." Xin Chen gazed around, he only saw endless piles of human corpses. If left for days it will rot and bring disease to the YuangXe people.
"What's wrong, if it's just for you we still have a lot left to support our people."
"Take it, count it as a thank you." Another adult male responded kindly, making the YuangXe people immediately take food supplies for him.
"The thing is, this food is not for me. I got a greedy pet. Not even a cow will make him full."
Right after saying that a sharp flap shot towards him, the ground where the dragon stood on foot shook violently. Ye Long growled making the YuangXe people retreat in fear.
"Eat!!!" he shouted, "My stomach is really two meters wide!"
Xin Chen looked at his stomach, just an ordinary puncture mark. Maybe they had a chance to fight and only Ye Long was injured. The young man on his back did not suffer any injuries at all.
"We didn't find him. Neither one." He said limply, feeling himself useless before Xin Chen.
"What's wrong. All right, I gotta get going. I don't know what happened in the Valley of the Gods after the news broke."
The move of the War God Armor into Xin Chen's hands directly impacted the peace in the headquarters of the Four Surveillance Units. Moreover, the one unit that was guarding there was only half. He hoped that Bai Huang would do his job well, guarding the place until he returned.
Xin Chen sent a letter through the crow that was now flying fast, he only needed to wait for Bai Huang's reply regarding the situation in the Valley of the Gods.
As Xin Chen rose above Ye Long, the young man spoke in a hurry, afraid that his time would not be time to continue to think hesitantly.
"Master, can I come with you?"
Although Xin Chen said it without a second thought, to them those words were more than just speech. Keeping YuangXe, a land where there is no right to them.
"I feel like we are the most helpless. Unable to repay your kindness with treasure or sacrifice." The YuangXe woman regretted that she did not even have food to give to Xin Chen. If he gave it away, his people would not be able to survive. They needed the manpower to refine YuangXe, while the food available was few.
The woman took off the cloth tied in her hands, then approached Ye Long.
"Let me give you this. Otherwise I'll feel guilty for life."
Ye Long sniffed the thing, "It's not food apparently. Rarrgh!"
Ye Long's rampage suddenly just stopped when his tail was stepped on by Xin Chen. "Think about eating later. You didn't even finish one of my tasks "
Ye Long followed, even though his face was like he was cursing Xin Chen. The white cloth given by the YuangXe woman was actually a hereditary talisman given to keep her away from danger. Although he did not know whether the object would be useful or not, at least he was able to give something to them.
Xin Chen looked at the young YuangXe who was now just lowering her head, unable to speak anymore. He knew the young YuangXe who did not even have a name was scared to death, he had betrayed. Only the death penalty was appropriate for him. Following Xin Chen was a pretext so that he could still live in search of his sister who was now out of nowhere.
"Madam" call Xin Chen. People are confused as to who he means.
"I mean, leader YuangXe."
"Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Don't kill him. As he remembered, remember what the Ghosts of YuangXe have done for you."
The woman lowered her head, flapping her hands unwillingly. On the other hand, he could not forget what the Ghosts of YuangXe had done to fight for the land of YuangXe. For the sake of keeping the secret of the War God Armor awake. He fouled his hands and became a cold-blooded killer.
Even if the woman did, she was not sure that the other YuangXe people would agree with the decision. Reading the complicated situation, Xin Chen spoke again
"Take this my request."
The YuangXe youth raised his face, it was obvious that he wanted to cry. In YuangXe he was the weakest and unreliable. Killing him is easy for others.
"Mr ..." He approached, squabbling. "It's my fault, making the existence of the War God Armor spread throughout the Empire. I admit I was completely wrong, I was blinded by something I thought was right. I'm sorry, but I don't want to die looking for my sister either. I've sworn to look for him, even if I have to die on people's land ..." Tears that had previously pooled in her eye pelupuk now fell.
"Thank you for giving me a chance to live."
"You deserve to fight for your life. Come bring your knights to my place someday. I'll wait for him."
The sentence became a parting sentence, the YuangXe people looked up at the sky until they were unaware of the gold coins and some dried food piled up in front of them.
