they studied till the school was about to be closed. When they went out of the school it was pitch dark in the sky but also bustling in the streets.
It was around 8:00pm. It was late for students so they decided to went home. 'Xiao Tian' usually goes home by walking so it is not a problem. But for 'Li Ling' such a beautiful girl he stayed behind for some time. Although school would provide protection as long as they were near or inside the school but they were already outside the school. So he was little worried for her.
"why have not left?" 'Ling Ling' was confused.
"Ehh! you have not left so how can i??" he spoke lightly.
Her heart bloomed for some reason. There was a beautiful warm shine on her face. "so you a knight in a armor to protect princess?"
"what knight??" he asked curiously. He didn't have much time for fantasy's. so he had zero knowledge for this.
"che! Boring" she spat out.
"Ehh!" he was confused. Why he spoke but instantly got surprised after what came.
"that's what like about you" she has seen much in the society. Men only flaunt in front of her for her status and beauty. It's not about rich or poor. Even poor are disappointing in front of her that give up easily. But 'Xiao Tian' is no like that in her eyes. Although he is little.. but he does not give up easily and is very good and innocent. Untainted. She just likes him.
"thank you!" he was very happy with her for her thank you.
"idiot" came twice at same time.
"ha?" he was surprised.
She was watching her watch and started to frown a little.
"how about I walk you home?" seeing this he spoke hurriedly.
"really?"
"yes"
She was really happy now and her heart started to beat a little and her face became a little red.
"will it not be late?"
"no! there is only grandma at my home. She is late. Must be resting!! By now" he lightly. He knew his grandma very well. She has been taking care of him since he was a small kid. And she is also old. She must be resting in bed waiting for him but he must also cannot leave 'Li Ling' alone due to the morals taught by his grandma. so his only option is take care of latter fast.
"oohh!!"" wait!""let's go to your home" she spoke
"what?" he almost fell down. How come it came to this.
"I am telling lets go to your home"" is there a problem or you don't like it?" she rolled her eyes at him.
"no! no!" how can he deny but was also little sweating. This was someone told that they want to come to his home and also it's a beautiful girl.
"then?" she asked
"it's.. a little shabby"
"oh!!"" do you take me as that kind who looks on others" she glared at him.
"no! no! no!" he was about to sy 'May Be' but they were struck on his throat and he denied.
"ley's go then!" she was very happy but also a little shy for some reason.
"he noticed that and curiously asked "what are you shy about?" he didn't have much interaction with girls in his life so he didn't understand them properly.
"you fool" she pinched him heavily on his waist.
"ahh!" he screamed in pain. "why did you do that?" he asked in pain.
"do you want another?" she glared at him angrily.
"no!" he quite down.
"let's go"
"ok" and they departed towards his house.
---------------
They were walking towards his house. 'Xiao Tian' can be considered neither far or near. It takes nearly 30min if walked at normal speed. And up to 1 hour if took a detour or… but they were taking a little ime as they were walking and there was a awkward atmosphere between them. 'Xiao Tian' wanted to take a taxi towards home but he did not have money and she had to pay. Also what will she think? She may feel bad as taxi for her… she is a missy after all.
As they were walking they passed the streets and they were nearing suburbs area. There were narrow lanes which was the the only path or otherwise they had to take large detour. And it will consume time. Grandma was waiting for him at him and it was already late.
As they were reaching suburbs 'Li Ling' was not feeling little well. Maybe she does not like this place or 'Xiao Tian' living in this place she does not like.
"are you ok?" 'Xiao Tian' already noticed and was concerned about her.
"I .. am… ok" she spoke lightly.
"let's go" they paced themself. 'Xiao Tian' was amazed. 'I walk everyday like this so I can but she…' he had everyday experience but she a rich missy is not tired?? It is little far afterall.
*gloom*
Chao necklace lit up and inside his head
"don't treat her like just a rich family miss.""she has lot more"" she is not like you. A loser" master 'Yun' disdained voice resounded.
Hearing loser he didn't know what to say but he didn't spoke anything. As it was true. "ehh! master what does it mean?"
"you are not qualified to know that yet"" I wanted to ask you somet…" but she suddenly stopped.
"what is it master?"
"it's danger outsider. Some people are following you. Run away" master spoke in a little harsh tone and 'Xiao Tian' was forced out.
He unconsciously took hold of 'Li Ling's' hand.
"you! Leave my hand" she was taken surprised so she blushed lightly. So she tried to take back her hands but facing that pincer like male hands she could not anything. If tried properly she can but she didn't.
He gripping her hand tightly and he stood on in front of her like a shield. She was feeling the warmth of security but she suddenly felt something was not right.
" Xiao Tian is some one following us?" she has many experiences so her strong intuition told her that.
"yep!" he lightly told.
Soon few hooglians popped up. Each of them had knifes on their hands. And their faces were filled with lust. There were total 7 of them and they surrounded them.
"who are you?" 'Xiao Tian; shouted. He knew that hooglians may show up as this is a narrow lane and close to suberbs but did not expect them to really show up.
"hehhe! Boy why talk. Just leave the girl and scram" they spoke in disdain. 'Li Ling' was boiling in anger. This hooglians were treating 'Xiao Tian' like nothing and were eying her with lust. How can she not be angry.
She was about to take to action. But also little hesitated. If she take action then her fighting …. May be revealed in front in of 'Xiao Tian'. It was her family rule to not show in front of an innocent commoner. As he may be an enemy.
But she felt a strong wall as guarding her.
"no!" he spoke firmly.
"is that so! We have to make you scram" on of them make a move against him.
*gloom*
Chaos Necklace started to light up. Inside his brain
"brat run! You are not a match for them now!!"" they are very close to martial artist." Master yun spoke n hurry.
"what martial artist?" he was confused.
"now is not the time for this. I will explain later"" just run" mater yun was not in the mood of idle talk.
"no!"
"what???" master yun was angry.
"master although I may be a loser but I don't want to run. I never ran. Nor in the past nor will in the future."" What use is running. I know that I cannot beat them but still… even if I run they will catch me so…"
"you! Fool!!" master yun was very angry. What kind of idiot was he.
Outside on of the 7 hooglians already made his way towards him with a knife. Although they usually don't kill anyone but if they kill they have a string supporter to rescue them. They give their lives for the supporter. So of course they protect this group. This is their daily routine. Who knows how many have innocent girls have fallen for them.
He was little taken back when the hooglian came in front of him. 'Li Ling' got anxious. She was about to take action but something amazing happened.
*blinking speed* 'Xiao Tian' vanished for a second. He came in front of the hooglian come towards him. "what?" the hooglian was shocked. Hooglians were strong than 'Xiao Tian' but they only had raw strength. They did not learn any techniques. So they will lost in front of 'Xiao Tian'.and 'blinking Speed'. A common movement technique in front of master yun. Although not mastered to perfection But more than sufficient for this hooglians and this is also more than what can 'Xiao Tian'can cope now.
He clenched his fist.
His right hand went slightly backward and *blinking speed*. 'Xiao Tian' applied blinking speed on his hand. His hand was super fast. His hand was moving towards the lower abdomen of the hoodlian. It was very fast and could not be seen. Just before the hand reached the hooglian
*power punch* a gust of wind flowed on 'Xiao Tian's' hand and a powerful punch was hit on the hooglian's lower abdomen.
"ahh!!" hooglian took few steps back and fell on his knees due to pain on his abdomes.
*shh* everyone was silent. 'Li Ling' was surprised. She knew that this was not just some luck or coincidence . is he the same 'Xiao Tian'?
