When I know that no one is following us anymore, of course with the help of system 888 I sighs* in relief.
We enter the forest where system 888 told me the direction of the river. When we got there I put her down.
She's still shaken up after what happened. I look at her with concern.
At first, I didn't notice what she looks like, but now I'm kinda shocked because she looks like my granddaughter. Her squinted eyes, small nose, a long black braided hair, white soft skin, and pink small lips, she looks small and cute.
"Are you alright?" I asked.
She looks at me and nods. I smile at her gently like a grandpa smiling at his granddaughter, I know it might look creepy because it's not suited to my look right now, which is dirty but hey at least I'm trying here.
"Don't you worry, they wouldn't follow us this far so we are safe for now." I comfort her to lessen her worries and when I saw her relax a bit I think it works.
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"I'm Xiaofan (means little ordinary), I'm 14," she said softly.
"I'm Xiu Liang (means beautiful and bright), 16. I just want to ask, why are those people trying to kill you? I know it's not because of that crappy reason they'd tell." I said with suspicion.
"I-I sighs* because you save me then I will tell you what really happened."
"I'm working in a pleasure house since I was 12 I'm not one of the girls who sell their bodies for pleasure NO I'm working there as a waitress, but the truth is I'm not an ordinary waitress the I'm a spy of Tang Family I was put there to spy on nobles who went there and give the information to the right-hand man of General Tang Gong Weiyuan ( means strong pressuring depth).
When I decided to cut off my ties to them for a personal reason, they tried to kill me." She said sadly.
I look at her amazed and shock at such a young age she became a spy, wow! She's smart, clever and strong, for a little girl to do that.
" I will not ask any further but if you want to tell me something then you are free I will lend my ears for you. "
"Thank you. I have one request can you help me look for someone?" She asked shyly.
Ping*
[Hidden mission help the little girl.
» YES
» NO. ]
" of course I will help you."
Yes, I accepted the mission.
She looks happy but when the wind blows we both feel cold so I decided to look for planks.
"I'm going to look for planks for the fire and also some fruits so we can have the strength for tomorrow journey.
We will talk right after we clean our self and eat. I have to go, I will be right back.
