It was a week later that shu hua recovered into her usual self, but she refuse to explain why she becomes like that so mu xin can only give up and forget it.
Mu xin day of training continue, in the morning until noon and from noon to afternoon he would fight with wild beast.
He would train his flowing palm technique, he's trying to negate the opponent attack by divert the power behind it to somewhere else and not receive it with his body by send it somewhere else, he asks shu hua to throw a rock at him and too not hold back, shu hua agree and throw rock at mu xin sign.
(It should be able to be done since this technique is about
The first time was terrible, mu xin got his arm broken multiple time because he fails to gain control over the power behind the rock quick enough before it destroy his arm, but thanks to his nature qi he recovered quickly.
After a few day, mu xin figure it out how to do it.
(I see, what i have to do was to make my body as flexible as i can and use my own qi to guide the power from the attack that i receive to anywhere i want, i can even return it, so this is it, the true flowing palm technique, receive the opponent attack and sent it back to destroy their body from inside, just who the heck come up with this palm technique?)
From then mu xin will fight with wild beast while using the palm technique only to negate their attack and use his attack to fightback, he quickly learns how to fight properly, how to use his body, to watch his opponent movement and where the opponent look.
While in the morning he would practice his flowing palm technique, using it in a way he comes up on his own, it was not long until one month pass by and mu xin finally ready to go to city.
In front of him is two baskets filled with bihong grass covered with leaf, he looks around the cottage that he start to regard as home, a place he will rest and eat, he smiles lightly as he remembers everything he has gone through in this place.
(I guess i will miss this place)
He uses his wooden staff to carried the two basket and start leaving the forest, his step is light as he walk through the forest, but his joy is cut short.
Just as he leaves the forest he meet the three people that took his bihong grass before, the women are still tall and muscular as before with tan skin and short red hair, the man that took his bihong grass is shorter than the women with a lean muscle and a hair that tied up, while the other man is having a bulging muscle taller than the women with big axe on his back, he was quite all the time before as if ignoring mu xin existence and still the same now while the other two already walk toward mu xin with grin on their face.
"Hey is it that brat with bihong grass, you still alive and even get more huh"
He shows a condescending smile while looking at mu xin while his eye show clear greed when looking at mu xin two baskets.
"You really are a good kid still picking up medicine grass for us"
The woman is smiling happily already imagining the money they can take from mu xin.
The big man which staying behind just now walk over and look at the basket and nod.
"Thats a good amount"
(So It's because the amount is too small before that's why he didn't talk)
"Well let us help you, bringing two baskets of it must be heavy for you"
The lean man stretch out his hand to grab the basket with a grin but mu xin drop it to the ground and punch him in the face which send him rolling on the ground for more than five meter.
The women and muscular man was stun, it happens so suddenly they didn't know how to react for a moment, the short man rise while spiting out blood and teeth while looking at mu xin angrily.
"You little sh*t, i kill you!"
The short man yelled and charged at him with his sword while the other two also attacked mu xin, the women use a punch while the muscular man with his axe.
Mu xin decided to stop pulling his punch since they clearly wanted to kill him, he stepped aside to avoid both of their attack and punched the women in the face.
*SPLAT*
The women face explode then he jumps above to avoid a sword stab from the short man, he lands behind the muscular man and punch his spine.
*CRACK*
A clear bone breaking sound reverberate then the muscular man fall on his front.
The short man is shaking now since both of his friend is killed to easily, its eye that looking at mu xin is filled with terror.
Mu xin start walking toward him then the short man immediately run away, mu xin chase him, in a few steps he already catches up, he grab the short man collar then throw him to the ground and stomp his head breaking it into piece.
Mu xin feel a bit sick looking at the three corpse that he make, his hand and leg trembling a little, but he regains his calm pretty soon.
(It's fine, they're trying to kill me first, I'm just protecting myself)
'Mu xin it's fine, you didn't do anything wrong so don't blame yourself'
Shu hua said in gentle tone trying to calm him down.
"Im fine sister hua, sorry for making you worry"
Mu xin take a deep breath and walk back to his basket, pick it up and continue to walk to the city, along the way they didn't speak but mu xin can feel that the bracelet in his left hand if getting warmer.
