Legend of the Heavenly Swordsman
Ch.56 - Misunderstanding

The group then stopped when night had come. Fu Chen immediately rushed over to Xiao Jung to convey the little information he could. The information that Fu Chen had obtained was not too much, he had only gotten information regarding the number of members of that group and how big their group was.

The woman named Hang Xie said that if the number of members of the Black Bear group had reached 400 people, even then only a large part of it. Fu Chen was actually lacking in confidence, but Hang Xie said that his brother's strength was at the same level as the King's swordsman and made his group one of the ones in disdain.

Big brother Hang Xie as the leader of the group also has ten members who have power at the level of a fighting general. Fu Chen actually wanted to question a lot of things, yet the woman had always been silent after giving two pieces of information that Fu Chen wanted.

Fu Chen intended to leave it to Xiao Jung because he himself did not have any experience about this kind of thing.

At first Xiao Jung only ignored Fu Chen because he was talking to the leader of the troupe. But after Fu Chen whispered the name of the group of robbers, the look on Xiao Jung's face immediately changed.

Xiao Jung actually intended to immediately approach the herd of robbers who were still behind, but he felt bad if he left the middle-aged man who was currently just talking to him.

The middle-aged man took out an awful lot of food from the items he was carrying. He really did not expect to meet a great noble after knowing the identity of Xiao Jung.

"Uncle does not need to take out that much food.uncle can save it for tomorrow's trip," Xiao Jung said with an awkward smile. He did not know how to eat the food the merchant had given him.

But the middle-aged man actually persuaded Xiao Jung to finish the food he gave. "It is our honor to be able to host Young Master Xiao like this. We will feel very guilty if you do not enjoy it."

Xiao Jung scratched his cheeks, being a noble family was not entirely pleasant to Xiao Jung, he was often faced with uncomfortable situations like this.

"If so, does uncle have wine? I'd rather have a drink with uncle if uncle had one.." Xiao Jung said with a wry smile.

The merchant brought a jar of wine for them to spend the night with, while Fu Chen was alone watching the prisoners.

The night was getting late, the merchant group was already fast asleep because of too much drinking. Xiao Jung used this to get information from the robbers they had captured.

Xiao Jung also looked at Fu Chen who had closed his eyes, Xiao Jung thought that the young man had fallen asleep so he let him. Even though Fu Chen's eyes were already closed, yet he didn't really fall asleep, the boy was just trying to calm his mind.

As Xiao Jung was intending to remove the rope that tied Hang Xie's hand, Fu Chen immediately opened his eyes and unsheathed his sword to Xiao Jung.

That extremely sudden movement even made Xiao Jung so surprised and took a few steps back thinking that the sword was going to hit his neck.

"You haven't slept yet, Chen'er?" Xiao Jung had not expected Fu Chen to be so wary of the circumstances around him even with his eyes closed. Xiao Jung was actually quite certain that he did not make any meaningless sounds while walking near the young man.

"Senior?" Fu Chen frowned. "What's senior doing here?" Fu Chen asked a little suspiciously.

Fu Chen glanced behind Xiao Jung and found that everyone was asleep, Xiao Jung's motion was very suspicious for Fu Chen.

Xiao Jung never thought that if Fu Chen would suspect him at a time like this, he could only smile wryly imagining it. "Before that, can you put down your sword first? It would be very troublesome if this sword of yours were to hit my neck." Xiao Jung said casually as he raised both of his hands.

Fu Chen pulled back his sword slowly, but his eyes were still***** staring at Xiao Jung.

Fu Chen sheathed his sword back, his countenance already returning friendly. "I'm sorry, senior! I was just too wary of not wanting them to escape." Fu Chen curled his body.

"Forget it.." Xiao Jung flicked his hand. "Help me take this woman, I'll take the other burly man and let's get them both away from here." Xiao Jung stuffed a cloth on the mouth of the burly woman and man.

They both jumped away from the merchant entourage who were still asleep in their dreams. Xiao Jung and Fu Chen carried the burly man and woman quite far away, even until the smoke from the campfire created by the merchant entourage was nowhere to be seen.

"Senior, isn't this too far away?" Fu Chen was worried that they would lose their way if they continued to enter the forest.

"It's okay, I can still feel the whereabouts of the party." Xiao Jung continued his steps until he found a place that he felt was suitable.

Xiao Jung leaned the burly man's body under a large tree, Fu Chen also performed it beside Xiao Jung.

"Hmmm! Hmmm...!!" The burly man slightly thrashed with his mouth covered by cloth. Xiao Jung removed the cloth in order to hear what he wanted to say.

"Otherwise you want a jerk!!" Sergey the burly man after his mouth was free from a lump of cloth.

Xiao Jung scratched his ears with a flat face, he was lazy to deal with people who could not see what the situation was like. Xiao Jung then glanced at Hang Xie who had been silent since then, this woman looked even more intelligent in Xiao Jung's eyes.

Xiao Jung crouched down so that his gaze could align with the burly man in front of him. "Do you know where your nearest base is in the area? Tell me the location while I speak carefully," said Xiao Jung, cynical.

Weepy!

The burly man spat, he laughed widely and glared at Xiao Jung. "Who do you think you are, boy? Even if you kill me even if I won't open my voice!"

Xiao Jung's face grew cold, he pressed his hand against the burly man's head. From his palm came out a faint hint of light, others would not be able to see him unless he observed up close.

Xiao Jung messed up some of the nerves in the burly man's head by pouring a little qi into his brain, immediately making the burly man thrash with his body shaking violently.

"You always say it with pride as if what you do is commendable. Have you forgotten how ruthless your group is?" Xiao Jung pulled back his hand after that.

The burly man was still able to maintain his consciousness despite his extremely bad condition. "We're dirty, but that doesn't mean we're going to betray each other just because we're faced with death." The burly man said weakly and stammered.

Xiao Jung snorted for a moment, he then thrust his hand at Fu Chen.

"Give me your sword!" Pinta Xiao Jung was brief.

Fu Chen just gave his sword away, presumably he already understood what Xiao Jung wanted to do. After all, the sword would not last long either because it already had some cracks.

Fu Chen slightly moved away, he leaned against a tree and turned his back to Xiao Jung. His eyes closed while trying to brace himself, his mentality was still too weak to see what Xiao Jung was going to do.
