Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 207 — Unexpected Meeting
The person who strangled Zhou Yuan started to thrash and had difficulty breathing, before Zhou Yuan wanted to crush his neck bone suddenly there was a voice calling out to him.
"Brother Yuan, please don't kill him!"
Zhou Yuan raised his eyebrows, not only did the person calling him know his name but Zhou Yuan also felt familiar with the voice.
Zhou Yuan turned his head and found the two remaining masked men had already lowered the hood on his head and removed the masks on his face so that their faces were visible.
"Sister Li, Brother Qiyao, why are you here?!" Zhou Yuan was surprised because the two people were the twin girls he knew.
The two girls were Huang Li and Huang Qiyao, respectively, Zhou Yuan will never forget the twin girls he met in Shena City a few years ago and they have the unique ability of Huang Li who can talk to animals and Qiyao who is a very powerful human being can read minds.
"Brother Yuan please let him go, Sister He is a close friend of mine!" Huang Li looked worried that Zhou Yuan was still strangling his friend.
Zhou Yuan let go of the giggle, making the person fall down and instantly coughed as he was almost out of breath.
Without thinking about his condition, that person immediately moved away from Zhou Yuan in fear then hid behind Huang Li and Huang Qiyao's bodies.
"Pardon us Brother Yuan, I didn't know that it was you. I'm really sorry..." Huang Li was very sorry that he and his friends were trying to kill Zhou Yuan.
Huang Qiyao also apologized, she should have read her opponent's mind with her ability but she did not do so.
Zhou Yuan sighed, he had not expected to meet those two twin girls in the other empire.
"Can you tell me something about this situation? I need an explanation!" Zhou Yuan asked coldly to Huang Li.
Huang Li was a little frightened, though stammered he then began to tell everything, starting the reason he could be here and why he could be friends with the group that attacked Zhou Yuan
***
Zhou Yuan exerted a deep force on all of Huang Li's friends who were hit by his powerful blow, they were unconscious and suffered a rather serious bone injury.
Zhou Yuan healed his wounds by using deep force on them, within a short time the wounds that on the bodies of Huang Li's friends disappeared and their consciousness began to return.
Huang Li, Huang Qiyao, as well as the one person who was strangled earlier were shocked at the speed of Zhou Yuan healing their friends in a fairly quick time.
After the other 6 people muttered, The first brother who was the leader of the Huang Li and Huang Qiyao Group spoke.
"I'm sorry for our misunderstanding of not listening to what you said before, I deeply regret it. If anyone is in charge of this situation my paper is the culprit. You can kill me..." The first sister took off her mask and saw a sweet girl in her 20s.
"Miss, I'm quite aware of the incident earlier, let's just say all these events never really happened. I've forgiven you." Zhou Yuan had already listened to Huang Li and Qiyao's explanation so could understand the situation.
The first sister was truly sorry but grateful that Zhou Yuan had forgiven her and the others.
"We've met them before, my name is Zhou Yuan."
"Then it's nice to meet you, Swordsman Yuan..." Xu Miao nodded slowly while giving her respect.
Xu Miao then told the others to unmask them and introduce their respective names. As Zhou Yuan expected, the nine masked men were women whose age did not differ much from Xu Miao, they were also beautiful and sweet.
"Brother Yuan, if I may ask, why are you here?" To avoid the awkward atmosphere, Qiyao opened her voice to melt the atmosphere.
"The story is quite long and I'm afraid you won't believe it, you could say I'm here because of an accident..." Zhou Yuan later said the reason he was in this mine was because he was hunting the headquarters of the Night Shadow Organization but he did not expect that there was already another group who had cleared them before him.
Xu Miao looked at each other with Qiyao before smiling faintly. Xu Miao then tried to explain what had actually happened.
"Sorry Swordsman Yuan, actually the Night Shadow Organization you mean is us, the organization you hunt is just a group of robbers claiming to be the Night Shadow Organization."
Zhou Yuan frowned, looking incomprehensible. "You mean the Night Shadow Organization is your own?"
Xu Miao nodded. "True Swordsman Yuan, the people who burned some villages before were not us but a group claiming to be the Night Shadow Organization. Our organization has never done such evil..."
Xu Miao then explained that there were parties who did not like his organization so they tried to slander the Night Shadow Organization to look bad in the view of others even to be considered criminal.
"We were trying to maybe try to find the mastermind of the slandering culprit, and after searching for it for a few months we finally found these robbers who did it and it looks like they were also ordered by someone..." Xu Miao.
Zhou Yuan stroked his chin, "I don't understand, did you guys form an organization for good? I heard your group used to be so meritorious for pinning people off the rogues."
"The reason the Night Shadow Organization was set up was to help others but we also had another purpose: to eliminate all criminal organizations in the martial world."
Zhou Yuan clucked in awe upon hearing that, he did not expect anyone to think so other than himself, in another sense Xu Miao's aim was almost peaceful with Zhou Yuan's aim.
Xu Miao looked at Zhou Yuan, "Broker Yuan, your strength is so high but we have never heard of you. Are you one of the secret masters of the Moon Empire?"
"No, I'm just an ordinary swordsman, Sister Li and Sister Qiyao also know my true identity, I'm just a young swordsman like you who happens to train harder so as to gain that power now."
Xu Miao certainly did not immediately believe it just like that but seeing no signs of Zhou Yuan being joking or lying, she was forced to admit it.
Despite not being able to see Zhou Yuan's tiers of strength yet Xu Miao guessed that someone who could go against the nine of them alone was a high-level Light Realm swordsman.
Xu Miao had never heard of any swordsman in the Realm of Light who was in the younger generation. Even the most genius would at least reach the Light Realm in his 40s.
Judging from any aspect Zhou Yuan was like a young man of a dozen years whose age was even younger than theirs. Xu Miao thought Zhou Yuan was the old warrior who maintained his youth.
