The Legend of the Guardians of the East Gate
Ch. 82- Run the little boy.

Enough Madam, there is no need to go on" Zhi Yuan said in a flat tone, and could not believe that such a respectable-looking woman actually dared to do such a thing in the open.

"I can confirm your head, you must think I'm a cheap woman, right? listen to me, I was your age and dreamed of a beautiful world like a naive fairy tale, but when I grow up, believe me, this world is so cruel, we even have to close our eyes to things that are so heartbreaking, we have to keep living with our heads held high, and forget about the rape this morning, little brother wake up and look around us, reality is so cruel, he said, treasures are able to make people sell their honor, and you see they look so honorable after doing that dirty thing" Hua Mulan said.

Zhi Yuan smiled faintly hearing all of Hua Mulan's words, his face was also expressionless yet no words came out from the young man.

"Hahaha... are you disgusted to see me?" the woman asked, revealing her beautiful and neat teeth, her tone began to sound low, her face closer to Zhi Yuan's face.

"Go and run, little boy, come back to your dream world, this place is not your place to play" Hua Mulan said without looking overwhelmed by anything.

"I'll go madam, and the badge will stay with me," Zhi Yuan stepped over the woman's shoulder making the woman slightly fall to the side.

Hua Mulan clenched her teeth so angrily, yet there was nothing she could do, the woman had no fighting techniques, and stepped towards the Li family residence, while thinking of how to take the badge.

"Be careful mistress in the way of many thieves, hahaha.." Zhi Yuan's laughter was full of ridicule.

Some people started following him, and Zhi Yuan sensed him and deliberately searched the desolate area.

On the other side Hua Mulan continued to step while grumbling,

"I hate him so much, he's a little bastard, just look you're gonna die soon,"

Hua Mulan entered the crowd, with an annoyed face, but her tall body and beautiful face had always been the center of attention of the men, in fact some men stop their activities in order not to miss the very rare beauty of their lives.

However the woman suddenly stopped, recalling Zhi Yuan's remark about the thief, and fingered the pocket of her robe, her heart was a little relieved as it still felt its pocket of money, and his fingers touched a badge he touched decades ago.

His eyes widened and his head stared around, and then closed, remembering the young man bumping into his shoulder.

"This is my father's badge, the young man entered without saying anything, did he intentionally want to protect me? it's important that the badge I've got," Hua Mulan's inner self and there's regret even if it's just a moment.

Hua Mulan sped up her steps and tried to look like normal, but the scouts were not stupid figures, they knew very well the mimic changes of someone's face, and Hua Mulan's behavior began to look strange.

***

Zhi Yuan's feet stopped at the outskirts of the lake, though,

"Come down, let's finish it here" he said slowly and eight veiled people began to surround him.

The corner of his eye began to move from left to right, calculating the ability of his opponent, but no one was above him, and someone just came up to one of the veiled men and whispered something.

"Hemmm, that woman is only good at talking," Inner Zhi Yuan thought that the scouts already knew that Hua Mulan had the badge.

The man nodded, and gestured to leave immediately, but had not finished gesturing Zhi Yuan already in front of his face, making the two whispers widen their eyes, and suddenly jumped back.

"Are you guys going? never dream," whispered Zhi Yuan and the curved sword had already pierced through the heart of one of them, and Zhi Yuan's left hand pulled out the slain man's sword and stabbed into the person who whispered earlier.

The two collapsed drenched in blood, and Zhi Yuan hunted down several others, and not long ago the curved sword had already returned to its sheath leaving the human body already in a mess.

That afternoon Zhi Yuan was sitting in a tavern, and preparing to leave the capital, his shoulders felt light as his task was done, yet Hua Daiyan's shadow suddenly flashed across his head

"The badge is so terrible, please take care of my only daughter" said the old man, who wanted to hold her leg.

The shadow made Zhi Yuan gulp his new urn so deeply, not caring about the people around him.

"I'm sorry healer Hua, but I can only keep the person behind me, not in front of me," muttered Zhi Yuan who felt something bad would happen to Hua Mulan because of the badge.

Her inner back fought each other between going or helping Hua Mulan.

"Alright healer Hua, I will wait for the dark, and finish off everyone I suspect in the residence, maybe I will slaughter half of these people, he said, and this is my last favor for you," Inner Zhi Yuan, was so angry.

The sky began to dim Zhi Yuan stepped towards the Li residence, the look in his eyes was so cold, tracing the crowd of the capital's streets, the young man looked at Hua Mulan holding a robe on his left, and he looked at Hua Mulan, talk to the maid at the entrance gate of the residence, and the maid slightly ran towards the market.

"Did he deliberately tell the scouts that his badge was in his left pocket," annoyed Zhi Yuan, his head shook.

The young man paused for a moment to stare around, and it seemed that the atmosphere was not his usual

"It's strange, there's not a single guard," Inner Zhi Yuan.

And from the back of Hua Mulan a man dressed as a servant approached the woman, and they were seen wrestling with each other for a moment, and the man was seen running right towards Zhi Yuan leaving Hua Mulan, the slightly bent one held his stomach, and his one hand pointed towards the servant-clothed young man.

Zhi Yuan's body slightly bowed, lowered his head, stepped so slowly his fingers began to hold the hilt of his sword and as the man was near, in just a flash Zhi Yuan had already blocked the man, he said, and the bodies of both touch.

"sringggg....."

Hearing the sound of the sword being plucked, people only heard but did not see someone holding a drawn sword, Zhi Yuan continued to step away leaving the servant-clothed man who now had no right arm.
