When I arrived at the forest I got the chills all over me I didn't like it she she just reminded me too much of her I didn't like it.
Back at the restaurant the four of them were left confused they saw my scared expression and they wondered why I reacted that way.
Then Kyela said maybe you were just too pretty Saya.
No, the look in his eyes was one of fear and loss it shouldn't be something he has experienced yet.
But still Saya it is the jianghu you never know what happened.
Maybe he even brought it upon himself.

The screams lasted until the night until he had no voice to scream anymore he lost himself in his delusions he became conscious then unconscious when he recovered his strength his breath and heartbeat he fell unconscious again.
Then after three days and nights of the process repeating it finally alerted some mountain bandits
They found him unconscious a boy a young boy who was a martial artist but was lost his face red from the tears that ran down the bandits took him in.
when he regained consciousness he found himself without a sword on his waist no tools in a wooden prison with a 5-year-old girl sleeping outside.
I panicked I didn't know where I was but I knew I was captured I took out one of my other swords from my inventory then I scanned the area I was alone the ground was decently clean and I had some straw bedding to sleep on there was only one door.
I sliced through the wooden beams they were fairly thick but with my martial arts, I could easily slice through them.
when the beams fell on the ground the 5-year-old didn't scream cry or call out she ran out of the door I walked after her calmly but then I saw the girl poking around some filthy-looking guys and pointing at me.
They looked at me wearily they asked how did you get out in a confused but not angry tone.
First of all what am i doing here who are you guys and what happend.
I think we should be asking you we saved you when you were passed out in the forest.
why would a bunch of bandit-looking bastards save me?
The chief has a crush on you ain't that right boys normally pretty girls go for big strong muscular men like us but she likes tiny weak pretty boys.
Weak huh you wanna see who's weak?
calm down twerp lets bet on it like real men 3 rounds whoever wins can ask a question to the other per round and they must answer truthfully.
but where did you get that sword didn't she strip you naked?
il answer if you win come at me old man
that's not how it works you, country bumpkin, it's played like the great dragon and phoenix gatherings first you go against the weakest my youngest brother.
but lets take this outside I don't want your blood to stain the wood.
I squared up with this bastards little brother he counted down 3 2 1 GO
the counter hit zero he rushed to me with a spiked quarterstaff I sidestepped his charge and kicked his shin and before he could fall to the ground I axe-kicked his face into the dirt.
The eldest bastard was surprised then he said alright ask away only one question for now
I asked where did the "chief" take my swords
he answered she has them.
tell me where she is then?
that's another question isn't it il answer if you win again he snorted
Il give you another countdown 3 2 1 GO
he was wielding a sosun pattah and he stood guard like a noble but looked like Peggy
he wanted me to approach so I did I walked up to him and let my sword fall out of my hand.
He chose that instant to strike but before he could I struck his hand with the pummeler of my sword he dropped his blade then I kicked his knee in so he fell down and backhanded him.
The eldest brother was suprised but he still did nothing.
He said in a croaky voice like he was scared ask away.
i said where is this chief of yours?
He said she went north in the opposite direction of the sun.
i started walking away then he said what about the last duel you scared you little twerp
ugh look who's talking come at me i don't need a count dow-
3 2 1 GO but he already sprung at two still it didn't matter then he suddenly leaped behind me I barely blocked and then he said what have you never seen qi enchanted qinggong before.
I used my martial maximum technique before for the first time I took a deep breath in and out I heightened my senses enchanted my speed and strength I stood there with my sword at the ready I could see his movement now.
He used twin machetes and was hiding needels in his sleeve this was going to be more difficult there weren't as many records of assassination techniques or needle arts so i swung my sword at his arm but stumbled and sliced his sleeves open now I could confidently react to the needles.
Then he struck at the back of my head I dodged spun around but then he shot the needles i caught them on the flat of my blade and then the second he came in my reach I sliced through his double machetes and hit his neck with the flat of my blade but I forgot that the needles were still in there I jabbed them into his neck luckily the steel of the needles weren't tempered properly so it broke of before it could cause any real harm.
then he took a vial of a brown liquid and drank it it seemed like a detoxification
drink
did you try to poison me, you bastard!?
he asked is that your question?
no, my question is what did you mean by stripping me naked?
he laughed I looked back at him sternly he said look at your clothes she took your everything swords clothes even underwear you know she was taking really good care of you when you passed out like a mother to her sleeping baby.
My face flushed red in embarrassment and anger how could she take my ancestor's sword out of anger I tied them up and hung them down from a tree.
then I walked in the direction of the chief I passed some forest when I saw a waterfall with a beautiful redheaded older girl who was bathing I hid behind the bushes while the taotist's greatest enemy rose and made a tent impossible to hide in these rags for clothes.
