The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 54 - Meet Little Princess - Lian Kaili
Not waiting long to get to Xin Fai's room, Lian Sheng was anxiously waiting at the door but Xin Fai never opened the door. He seemed to think for a while as he swept his gaze around.
"E... I don't think you need to take this many people to my room."
Xin Fai's designated bodyguards looked at each other, after being ruled by Lian Sheng they finally retreated in an orderly fashion. Lian Sheng's own sister chose not to interfere and immediately returned to her residence.
Xin Fai opened the door which was greeted by Lian Sheng's shock.
The man rushed towards his son who was now above Lang's stomach. Lian Kaili fell asleep because he was used to sleeping there during the trip, Lang's own feathers are warm and make it very comfortable.
"What did you do to my son?! Why did you bring him closer to that demon?!" Lian Sheng carried his son in panic, he hugged Lian Kaili very tightly.
Xin Fai sighed, "If my life were evil, he wouldn't have saved your cold son in the woods."
"Him?" Lian Sheng looked at Lang in disbelief, Lang threw his eyes out the other way I don't know what he was thinking.
"That found your son the wolf." Xin Fai sat cross-legged and was followed by Lian Sheng who was now sitting opposite to him.
Lian Sheng's eyes twinkled as he carried his healthy-looking son, tears dripping from his eyes. The man looked at Lang.
"Thank you for saving my son's life" he said. Despite having lost his wife, at least Lian Sheng still had his child. He kissed his son's head for a long time.
"Grrh... Thank you to my Lord there." Lang responded to the jutek, he rolled up his tail as usual about to sleep, the trip this time was enough to burden his body.
As Lian Sheng's eyes were fixed on Xin Fai, he thanked Xin Fai many times and even promised to give her many gifts. Xin Fai gave a small smile not wanting to miss the advantage, despite already refusing subtly but Xin Fai still accepted it.
Considering his trip to Zhu City was still very long at least Xin Fai should have enough money, meanwhile Lian Sheng greeted his son witlessly.
"I feel useless for letting you and your mother go to that forest. If only the path in Renwu City was safe..."
"Renwu Town? What's wrong with that town?"
Lian Sheng called the maid to bring Lian Kaili. Of course the man's face was brighter than before, at least he still had the life expectancy of his own son.
"I heard that Renwu city is on the verge, it has already fallen into the hands of the Blood Devil Man completely and they are operating looking for something there..."
Lian Sheng raised his eyebrows next to his. "You know the Blood Demon Man, right? Lately I have heard that they are massacring small villages, killing many white warriors and even destroying one middle sect. Their actions are inexcusable." Lian Sheng's face turned serious, of course he couldn't stay still looking at this chaotic situation.
Moreover, Xin Fai, her anger had increased many times over from before. It feels like people like those who don't value the lives of others are no different than animals.
While immersed in his own thoughts Lian Sheng went back to telling stories.
"But lately I've heard there's a little boy who killed a Blood Devil Man all by himself while they were doing the slaughter. Ah, maybe just exaggerated gossip. No need to think about it."
Xin Fai, who at that moment subconsciously heard Lian Sheng's words choked on her own breath.
He laughed awkwardly while grinning with his trademark smile. "Yes, don't think too much. What matters is that your son is safe."
Lian Sheng held onto Xin Fai's shoulders tightly, he was very interested in the boy before him. Aside from being a Golden-Hairy Wolf that was with him, there was one more thing that made him curious.
"I heard the rat demon king has been killed. You know, right?"
"A boy like you can't just pass through that forest if he doesn't have the ability to at least be the equivalent of a great warrior. Do you have anything like a trick or something to kill him?"
Xin Fai's head shook his head, how could he use a trick while breathing for a second was difficult as thousands of rats chased after him.
"Even magicians will die immediately if faced with thousands of rats there."
"Thousands of rats? I've heard of it. So, how did you get away with all of them?"
"I killed them. There's no other way out but that." Xin Fai answered him flatly, the confession made Lian Sheng shut his mouth with enlarged eyes.
"That's right!"
Lian Sheng tried to find a lie but all the facts he received were true. A boy like Xin Fai couldn't have survived the forest if he didn't have great strength. The Golden-Hairy Wolf itself would definitely have trouble facing thousands of rats and their king.
"I don't need you to believe it or not. But with the return of your little princess isn't that all the proof?" xin Fai said somewhat distractedly with Lian Sheng's gaze.
"I don't mean that... Regardless of your age being so young you dare to enter that forest? Even a Great Warrior would not want to pass through the place even if it was paid a great price!"
Lian Sheng praised her a few times that only Xin Fai replied by commenting on a thin smile. Actually he did not expect as well, nobles like Lian Sheng were not as arrogant as he had thought before. His meeting with Lian Sheng made his thoughts a little open.
"If you would like to come to dinner at our residence, I would like to repay your kindness."
"Ah, no need, I–"
"Don't refuse that. Know it? All the members of Lian's extended family have gathered here to hear the news of my dead wife's child... They'd be surprised to see my little princess alive and it's all thanks to you..."
"But, I..." Xin Fai scratched his head, of course he would not be ready for dinner among the nobles.
Xin Fai regretted, it should be that in addition to learning martial arts he also had to learn tongue silat. To be able to avoid when faced with a situation like this.
"I'll try to come, if I can."
But Lian Sheng's face was not satisfied, he even invited Xin Fai to stay with his family instead of having to stay in an inn like this.
"Come on, instead of having to throw away your bronze coins to stay in a place like this you better stay in our house. I promise I'll catch you well."
Lian Sheng's statement made Xin Fai's forehead constrict for a few seconds.
"Bronze coins? Sure enough, I paid up to three gold pieces to stay here," he murmured in surprise. He thought for a while before he heard Lian Sheng chiming in.
"You mean the gold coins? Isn't that too expensive?"
Lian Sheng felt that something was not right here, he narrowed his eyes furiously. He shouted out loud.
"Guards! Call the innkeeper for a moment!"
