Great Swordsman
Ch.25 - Xue Village Trouble

“Nona Ding, I am first of all sorry for what happened to your father and the village of Xue.”

Xu Feng was finally able to freely speak when this girl in front of him returned to her initial appearance. As long as Ding Xiang showed his true figure, Xu Feng was confident that he would never be able to focus fully.

“Thank you senior Xu. So how, now your curiosity is satisfied. Xue Village should be in your protection in the future right?”

His voice returned hoarse, Xu Feng could not even imagine she was the woman he had just seen. His ability to hide his identity really opened his eyes.

“It's not that simple. It's not just about you Miss Ding.”

Xu Feng shook his head and explained that he needed to know the condition of the Xue Village as a whole, like who his enemies were, like, who was behind the death of their Patriarch as well as everything concerning the assets of the Xue Village.

Xu Fengs decision would not change just because of women, even if it was Ding Xiang with his peerless charm. He was not a man who would let himself be swayed so easily just because of a woman!

“So, what do you want to know?”

Ding Xiang did not react to Xu Feng's reply, he was neither angry nor upset.

Even with his looks, Ding Xiang had never considered himself special and had not become arrogant because of it, he had no thoughts in the beginning that Xu Feng would be moved just from seeing his real face.

“First, who killed your father?” Xu Feng initially hesitated a little when asking her, he was worried that her remark would open a wound in the woman's heart.

“They are one of the Four Generals of the Eye Gang One!”

Different from his expectations, Ding Xiang bluntly answered him in just one breath. But Xu Feng could feel the sadness behind his face even though it was now covered by a veil.

“This.” Xu Feng was slightly stunned when he heard the name of the group again, he felt as if everything he experienced was doomed.

“How about the others? How many people are staring at your Xue Village right now? Who is responsible for the decline of your village?” Xu Feng threw out a barrage of questions at once.

“We do not know for sure, the water in Xue Village is already too murky, it is no longer possible to know who they are and what the motive is.”

Ding Xiang lowered his head helplessly, he felt guilty for not being able to keep what his father left behind.

“We were even forced to strengthen the patrol for 24 hours and basically isolated ourselves from the outside world so that they would not infiltrate the village and cause chaos.

“For many years we locked ourselves up which became the main cause of the drastic decline of the village. There is no more income because we do not allow any foreigners to enter the village.

“Though so, we sometimes still experience sudden attacks several times. Fortunately, all of them were not on a large scale but still many members of our clan died, including the three Elders.”

At this point Ding Xiang was speechless, he had already said everything. The condition of Xue Village turned out to be worse than Xu Feng thought, if they continued to isolate themselves from the outside world, it would be a matter of time before the village was completely destroyed.

“Senior Xu, I beg you to help my village! I'm ready to do whatever you say as long as you're willing to help us.” Ding Xiang this time was begging a little, he was really already desperate.

To be honest, he had planned to sell himself to the young master of a large family in Fallen Leaf Town, with his charm, it was certain that no one would refuse.

That choice was his last desperate move but it didn't work out either.

“You..” Xu Feng had yet to speak, the door suddenly opened as hasty footsteps rang out entering the room.

“Nona Ding, this is bad!!” Xue Gong's face was extremely panicked, Xue Lan who was following behind him was not as good.

“Devil's Coming! Waves of Demon Beasts attacked the village!”

Xue Gong reported in a hurry and mentioned that not long after they left Xue Village, hundreds of Demon Beasts suddenly appeared and brought calamity. It was fortunate that someone managed to escape from the village and immediately caught up with them to report the situation.

“We need to return as soon as possible.” At this point Xue Gong was extremely anxious, there was not a single higher-up who was in the village, the chances of the village wall being broken into were very high. He was so panicked that he almost even left and returned to the village.

“Old Xue Gong, lest your judgment be affected by the situation. Do you think your arrival can bring change?”

Xu Feng immediately stopped the man from taking a free decision. His words caused Xue Gong to be stunned and his steps came to a halt instantly, what Xu Feng said pierced directly at the core of the problem.

“Senior Xu, even if I don't bring change, I can't possibly just stand still and wait for our village to be destroyed right?” Xue Gong snorted, he was a little unhappy that Xu Feng stopped him.

“Xue Gong, what senior Xu said was true. And also, who said we wouldn't take action at all?”

Xue Lan immediately chimed in, she was an intelligent person, she understood the meaning behind Xu Feng's actions. This concerned the matter of the village, their internal matter but Xu Feng spoke up about it, the meaning was naturally different.

Even Huo Teng did not speak from earlier because he understood his own place regardless of them being acquaintances, this was not because they were abandoned, this was not because they were abandoned, but because Huo Teng did not want to interfere with their internal decisions unless they asked for his help.

It is already a matter of face and honor, it is impolite for outsiders to interfere with one's internal matters blindly.

Xu Feng's actions indicated he had already agreed to protect their village.

“Senior Xu are you.”

Ding Xiang was a little excited and wanted to say something but was stopped by a simple hand wave from Xu Feng.

“No need any further word, we will just waste more time.” Xu Feng spoke and continued “Brother Huo, I will probably trouble you again, I need a mount.”

“Hahaha no need to hesitate brother Xu!”

Huo Teng laughed loosely, he was happy that Xu Feng had finally made up his mind according to what he expected. Without wasting any time, Huo Teng immediately headed towards the stables and took out his own personal mount, there were two of them.

“This is the best mount I have, Teen Snow Deer!” Huo Teng showed off proudly, it was a Demon Beast that he managed to capture with his own hands and was tamed by the best tamer in the village.

The Juvenile Snow Deer was a one-star Demon Beast, its strength equivalent to a Second Stage Cultivator. Capturing a Demon Beast was a completely different concept than killing it.
