Chapter 35: Seeing the Demeanour of a Genius!
He could see shadows moving fast in the forest below. It seemed like someone was being attacked. He instantly lay on the ground at the end of the cliff and continued to observe.
Even with his heightened senses, he could barely catch a glimpse of what was happening in the forest. It seemed like someone was surrounded, and fighting their way out.
The way they were dressed seemed somewhat inconsistent with the Wang Clan. He didn't have any plans of doing anything. He just kept looking at the event as though he was watching some kind of sport.
He indeed didn't want to, but his ears were just too sharp and after discovering this group, through his ears, he saw movements. Now he was able to follow through their actions, probably becasue they had slowed down.
"I can't belive someone is being hunted down in the territory of the Wang Clan? But does this forest really count as Wang clan territory?" He could see from the current location that the person being chased was a woman.
She actually had golden hair, and that was very surprising. Only he couldn't tell whether her age was as young as she seemed or not? If it was, that would be frightening, as he could already tell this was no longer the strength that a body forging newbie like him should have.
"Is this someone from a famous clan! I think it is best not to get myself involved even if this person is from some famous clan." He thought as he lay low and even his eyes only on the events happening.
He was clearly bored, as such watching the misfortune of others was not a bad choice.
He might blame the system for wanting him to be a villain, but in actuality, he wasn't a good person either.
He focused, and could only see destruction in the wake of this group. He was sure he couldn't be able to withstand those attacks. As for fighting back, that would even be more of a dream.
The attacks from both sides actually caused devastation close to ten meters in radius.
Just watching the devastation made him feel he shouldn't have hastily agreed to Cai Yue's plan on going outside to tour the clan's territory. She was strong, but he was not. If things went wrong, he was not sure of she could protect him at all.
*****
In the forest*
A figure was bleeding and kept trying to escape further to walk past the forest into the Wang clan territory as she could be saved that way.
But the attackers clearly didn't think the same way.
She kept looking for a way, but they seemed to be able to read her mind, intercepting and cutting off her advancement. Her wounds kept worsening as time passed, and she could see this.
"Damn! I just have to get into the Wang clan territory. I don't think they wouldn't dare save me if they saw me!" She has a jade pendant with a symbol of aTiger curved on.
The people attacking her clearly had some idea of her identity and also it was the reason for their anxiety.
"We can't let her reach the Wang Clan territory! If that were to happen we have to readjust our plans and this will cost us a lot. It would be fine if somewhere else, but this is the core region and we will be dealt with the instance we walk past this forest." The leading figure spoke as he rushed to block the path. He had a black and white mask on the face.
He wasn't the only person in a mask, as the others were also had them, only they were either black or white.
When the woman realized her path was blocked, he could actually see that she stopped running and turned to look at the group of about thirteen with her in the center.
"She looked in the direction Wang Lu was hidding from tims to time. Clearly she could feel some presence that was looking her direction.
"Someone is watching what is happening? Why didn't they rush over to help me!" She thought before changing her direction. It was clear, she wanted to head toward the direction of the cliff.
But who was Wang Lu, when he saw the figure being attacked turn their head his direction a few times, he knew something was off.
"Have I been discovered?'' he thought as he looked down the cliff one last time, before crawling back. He didn't even bother to look back as was retreating.
"Are you just going to leave?" The familiar voice sounded again!
Turning his head he could see that the woman from before had appeared again, she was looking at all of this with a smile that was not smile.
"Why are you here?" He asked without even bothering with her questions.
"Why? Are you ashamed that I saw this?" She asked thinking he would defend himself, but Wang Lu didn't act that way, he grabbed her arm and rushed away.
"Run! What saving! Is she your relative?" He asked her as he pulled her along. The woman was shocked. She wanted to retract her hand, but couldn't. The Love Gu indeed was not to be played with. She was very obedient, not like her nature at all. Wang Lu also didn't think much about her ability, he assumed she would be in danger and instinctivly dragged her along.
When he suddenly reacted, he was already at his residence.
"When are you going to let go of my hand?" Cai Yue asked in a cold tone. She was very ashamed and angry. She wanted to tease Wang Lu with morality, but the guy didn't act accordingly to common sense.
Hearing her words, he released her, and then changed the topic real quick. "Senior sister! Why are you there?'' Of course the implications of this words where 'are you stocking me?', but he didn't dare say them out loud.
"Why can't I be in that place?" She retorted as she looked at him. Her smile had returned, but he felt uncomfortable under that smile.
"Why did you run?"
"Senior sister is joking! We are not their match! How could we wait for them to take out lives?" He spoke without even any shame.
But deep down he was thinking, "Off course you are not afraid. But I have no interest in getting involved. Who knows the consequences?"
He was indeed thinking this way. He wasn't going to be involved in the grudges of others. He was smart enough to know what to not do, especially with unrelated people.
"You have no demeanour of a genius at all?" She said with a snort.
"Senior sister is right! But I just saw the demeanour of a genius! It scared me!" He retorted without even a second thought.
"What genius! If you offend those that can kill you, you will die!" He didn't day this, but it was a thought he had.
