3401: A Fluke

A Fluke

His intuition had never led him astray; in fact, it had saved him numerous times. He might be a coward, but it was precisely because of this that he tended to think more thoroughly when faced with a situation.2

When the other people heard what the man said, they started to laugh and gave him dismissive glances, clearly not holding such a timid person in high regard.

The leader of the group scowled and waved his hand impatiently. "You're always making a fuss, just go!"

The man quickly ran into the nearby trees when he heard this. As he ran, he kept looking back at the two women, and his heart skipped a beat when he caught the cold look of the woman in black. He hastened his steps, eager to distance himself.

Once he was far away, he chose to rest before heading back. So, he went to a secluded spot to sit and catch his breath.

As Leng Hua and Du Fan were chatting and walking, they saw a man sitting under a tree nearby. "There's a man over there. Let's ask him," Du Fan said with a smile. 

So, the two men went over to talk to the person. When the man heard footsteps, he quickly turned his head to look at the two handsome guys in front of him. He stammered, "You, you, you…Wha-what do you want?"

Du Fan chuckled. "Don't be nervous. We're just asking if you've seen two women around here. One is in black and the other is in white, and they are both very beautiful."

When the man heard this, he was shocked and quickly replied, "Yes, yes, over there." As he spoke, he instinctively pointed in the direction he had just come from.

"Mm, thank you," Du Fan said, walking in that direction with Leng Hua.

Leng Hua looked back after a while and saw the man stand up and walk stiffly until he entered the forest, and then he sped away.

"What's wrong?" Du Fan asked, also glancing back.

"That man seemed strange," Leng Hua replied.

"Haha, he probably ran into Leng Shuang and got scared." Du Fan opened his fan and fanned it gently.

Leng Hua withdrew his gaze. The man looked weak and probably scared. He didn't think about it any more, and they kept going. After a while, they still hadn't seen the women but they could start to smell blood in the air.

"Hmm?" Du Fan cocked an eyebrow and asked in a slightly raised voice, "Are they fighting?"

They sped up and soon saw Leng Shuang and Qinxin picking through the bodies for valuable things.

After taking a quick look at the dozen or so bodies, Leng Hua asked, "Earlier, we came across a very nervous loose cultivator. Was he with them?"

"He was there, too. But that man had some sense. He saw that things were getting worse, so he told these people to leave. Since they refused to do so, we sent them on their way," Qin Xin explained with a soft smile on her face and a chilling look in her eyes.

She had met many different kinds of people, so she didn't even flinch when she killed these men.

"Let's go back! We don't want Master to be worried," said Leng Shuang, signalling the group to leave.

"Let's go! We finished roasting the meat but you two didn't show up, so we went looking for you," Du Fan said with a smile. "By the way, did you find any water source nearby?"
