The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 38 - Request Lien Hua
Lien Hua was brought inside the house on the advice of Chuan Gui, the old man standing behind Lien Hua began to treat his injuries using deep energy.
While Lan An himself did not take his eyes off Xin Fai, there were many questions he wanted to ask about the mysterious power that Xin Fai possessed.
"Is there something wrong with me?" xin Fai asked at last, he was acting awkward from earlier due to Lan An's gaze.
"Ahahahah, no," Lan An laughed. He scratched his ear. "I wanted to ask you something, but you said yesterday you'd give me an answer someday."
Xin Fai smiled hearing that.
"May I ask you one thing, about the Thousand Spirits You used? How can you master it so quickly?"
Actually Xin Fai was also curious about the question that was about to come out of Lan An's mouth. He thought for a while because it was hard to find the right words to answer.
"I've learned quite a bit of the technique when I see your movements. The rest I taught myself in this book. I don't know why, but the whole book is easy for me to understand. Though before that it took me up to a month to practice the Wind Steps alone."
Learning the Wind Steps within a month was enough to stupefy Lan An, she shook her head in disbelief.
"In addition to the spirit in the book liking her, she also has other mysterious powers." Inner Lan An drew a conclusion, she raised her face while looking at Xin Fai.
"Hey, can I know why there's so much killing going on around here?"
"Murder?"
On the previous night Xin Fai had been made suspicious when he saw two warriors who were most likely people from the Five Leaves Basil. Their movements were very anxious but Xin Fai did not find any awkwardness after waiting for some time. And the next morning, there was news of the murder right in the house.
"Yes, yesterday I heard that a family was also mysteriously killed. And today your family. What exactly is the Five-leaf Basil looking for?"
Lan An recalled her mother's missing mustika, her face gradually lethargic making Xin Fai worried.
"Is it related to this mustika?"
Lan An looked at the Spring Mustika in Xin Fai's hands, her eyes widening happily. "That's right, little brother! You are a savior!"
Lan An hugged Xin Fai tightly, she was so grateful that it was still safe and in Xin Fai's hands.
"I found it tucked away in the Book of Seven Keys, so I came back here. I know it's important to you."
"They're after Mustika 7 this season, by killing everyone they suspect. Thank goodness little brother, you came at the right time."
Lan An watched the mustika with a sigh, she was grateful Xin Fai did not know about the mustika. If sold only, the price of mustika can be used to live ten years.
"Once again I thank you little brother."
Chuan Gui had finished treating Lien Hua, the woman was laid down to recover her condition.
"I have to hurry away" Xin Fai said upon hearing the roar of the wolf from the front of the house. It seems Lang's been bored waiting out there.
"Can't you continue tomorrow? You can sleep in my house first" Lan An persuaded. He stood up following Xin Fai in front of the door.
"Sister An," Xin Fai patted her on the shoulder. "You can't linger here. It was likely that they would send even more troops. And I'm not sure we can fight them all."
Chuan Gui thought the same as Xin Fai. "You and your mother should go with our troops immediately. I'll prepare your departure."
"All right..." Lan An heard it. Just as she was about to go further, Lien Hua's voice sounded to stop Xin Fai's footsteps.
"Faier..."
Xin Fai turned around, she approached Lien Hua immediately.
"I want to leave that mustika to you."
"Y-mother?!" Lan An disagreed, should it be the gift of their ancestors. Although he was familiar with Xin Fai yet they still could not hand over the precious thing at will.
"We can't take care of her anymore, An'er. They already know the mustika is in our hands. If one day we get attacked again, I don't want it to fall into another's hands.."
Lan An clenched her hands tightly. He grasped the mustika did not want to let go, on the other hand he did not want to refute the words of his mother.
"An'er, listen... You know, right? Fai'er's a good man. He can definitely keep that mustika, isn't that so Fai'er?"
Lien Hua stroked Xin Fai's face gently, the little boy could feel Lien Hua's palm was extremely delicate. He smiled slightly, unable to refuse the request.
"I'll take care of him as much as I can."
"Annar..." Lien Hua was still trying to persuade her son of that one. "People won't know it's in Fai'er's hands."
"Yes, yeah..." Lan An could not maintain her ego anymore, she approached Xin Fai weakly while taking a heavy breath.
"My little sister, please take care of our ancestral relics. This thing is precious to us..."
At a glance Xin Fai was starting to pity her, she felt guilty. He had obtained the book of Lan An, and was now even forced to guard the mustika. If his condition allowed it, Xin Fai actually wanted to reject him. The knowledge Lan An had provided was more than enough for him.
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay little brother. You must grow up strong and don't forget to stop by the Thousand Feet Squad sect."
"Of course!" Xin Fai said excitedly, that response made both corners of Lan An's lips lift up. She smiles. "Thank you."
After bidding farewell the second time, with the book and mustika in his hands Xin Fai left Anguo city.
In the middle of the journey Lang narrowed when he saw his Master getting many new items. Had Lang been a human, it was certain that he was thinking of bringing Xin Fai to the auction event. The items Xin Fai brought were items at fantastic prices.
For example, the Blue Gem of Light around his neck, the sword that was overtaken on his back, the white clam that hung on his clothes. And the rest of the books and mustika that Xin Fai kept in his bag.
"If I were human, I would be the richest man after taking you to the auction."
"What?" Xin Fai who was focusing on reading the Book of Seven Keys distracted her.
"No. The full moon is beautiful."
