Zuigao looked at the coming people and finally a moment of relief fell upon him soon.Holding the hilt of the sword,he struggles to even stand.
Blood was pouring out from his back at dangerous levels.
"You,are alright,right!!?",Jing Hong said with a tone of concern on his face.
Quickly holding Zuigao and then ripping his own robe and quickly covering the fatal wounds with it.
The girl also helped and with Jing Hong and also covered the wounds.
After a while near the entrance of the cave,Zuigao was sitting calmly but his skin was now pale,he was shaking all the time,would also experience dizziness at some times and the smell of his blood reeked the deeper sections of the cave.
Both Zuigao and Wu Li didn't said anything up until now.
While Zuigao just didn't talk as he was spend,he was guessing quietly in his mind what would the girl be thinking.Maybe she was feeling guilt?,maybe a few more emotions then that?,or maybe she can be in a complex state of emotions?.
Zuigao at long last finally asked the girl,"Did you knew that there would be a monster hiding there?".
Zuigao wasn't petty nor revengeful nor did he was completely angry at her,yes,he did indeed gained absolutely nothing from this trip but losses.
This was also true,but,what he was not mad about was the fight itself.Many people would have to go through many fights and gain some life-changing experiences and ultimately improve themselves.
After all ones raw pawer,combat skill would make one truly a master.
"I-I...I didn't...knew".There was a faint level of speaking error on her words, possibly because for not talking to people for long.
"I was stuck at that place f-for sooo long...maybe e-even years."
"Years?,then how did you even survive?"Zuigao asked calmly.
"T-there would be a time when the chains would extended and I will go to a corner and activate some machanisms and then eat the non rotted food protected by a medical herb"
"Why were you send and locked up here at the clan anyways?"
"Because...I was the reason why the clan is now fallen to 5th rate Clan,".
After a while the girl continued,"There was a rivalry between Shi and Wu clan,as the dominant clans on the city.Soon a imperial minister would come in order the appoint the head clan of the city.This concerned long term benefits and the future of the clan and my clan had indeed made plans for this but..."The girl tensed up as though recalling some bad memory of hers,"I was swayed away easily by the young master of the Shi Clan and told him our plans and then this and that all happen and now we lost and suffered losses, eventually falling from 4th rate to a 5th rate clan.On the day after the imperial minister appointed the head family to be Shi family,they soon revealed that I was the culprit and then the family locked me up in this..."
Jing Hong was long goon trying to find fresh meat for Zuigao and soon he returned.
He also entertained the idea, why not heat up our swords and burn the wound behind.
Which Zuigao immediately refused.He was not doing to suffer more pain he would just heal quite fine from his special physique...
