Straw@hat publication Chapter - 16 ; Dragged into other people's mess ::

After a few days at Huo lings base cave :

" Done , my wounds are now completely healed ,only scars remain. I have also made some more medicinal paste, although it is no where near the one from academy it can still fasten the healing and prevent infection"

" My secret mission here is completed and i have also stocked food for my Celestial Worms, Now i should collect those herbs from mission and return back" he thought.

He was already away from the academy for a long time now.

He began searching and collecting the frost dew flowers, time passed on.

Huo ling was now here for about more than five and half months time. He was looking at a flower about the height of a feet.

It's petals were emmeting a chilly aura and was well hidden in the natural environment.

" Only ten more left to collect after this one. It makes sense why the time limit given was so much. I was already familiar with all these regions of the northern forest but still took so much time to collect them." He said while admiring the flower.

" If i didn't have the soul sense Celestial it would take way more time than now , these are very well hidden in the environment " he was thinking all this but was soon disturbed by noises from the nearby bushes.

He looked at the direction and soon a beautiful girl around his age entered his vision. She was ridding a way too fast horse made of something like paper.

Her beautiful face was tensed up with worry. Her plentiful chest was heaving up and down. Her leg seemed injured badly and a stream of blood was around her mouth.

Huo ling looked at her ,he knew this girl . " She seems to be Liu Bao from class two " he frowned but soon he noticed that the horse disappeared and she fell on the ground.

He was going to move in the direction but soon heard someone shouting and looked towards the direction.

" You country bumpkin there stay away from her " he saw a familiar face shouting at him.

It was Chen Chang , the heir to the Chen family. He was with a group of five people and one of them was giving the aura of a stage two celestial master.

Chen Chang ordered to him " Go get rid of him and capture that bitch she dares to runaway from me i will show the consequences to her".

Huo lings face was calm but he knew that he was an innocent person who had been dragged into other people's mess by these morons.

Before giving the person any chance, Huo ling activated the swift gale celestial and used his burst escape to grab Liu Bao and ran into the forest.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

Huo Ling was not the same as he was before , after experiencing the wild for such s long time and also having the Clear Clear Celestial now he was a completely different person.

" Follow them quickly, Stop right there you bastard or I will chop you to a million pieces and feed to the dogs" Chen Chang shouted.

" That stage two didn't seem to have a movement type celestial worm" Huo ling smiled, he had already guessed it after observing the situation and hence he escaped.

" Numbers have strength, if they follow me i will need her help to get rid of them." He looked towards the girl in his arms.

Her face was dark as she shouted while trying to get free " who are you what do want, where are you taking me"

" Relax, I am from the same academy as you , class three he reassured her. What the hell have you done to get them chase you so badly, they also intended to wipe off all evidence by killing me?? " He asked.

Liu Bao took a deep breath and calmed her self" They want to blackmail my mother to submit her buisness in the capital city to the Chen family by capturing me"

Huo Ling frowned , she was from the capital. Wasn't the capital very rich and filled with strong people and opportunities, what is she doing here.

Also wasn't she too naive to speak truth so easily. But then he smiled as he got ger intentions , she was not naive but clever instead she knew that only by his help there was chance to escape, and by telling thr truth she was laying a solid ground for co-operation.

He activated the Silent shadow Celestial and merged in the shadows to run towards the base cave.

At Chen Chang's side :

"Young master there auras have suddenly vanished, i think it is a stealth Celestial" the second stage master reported.

" What trash are you saying, how can you let them vanish with your cultivation " Chen Chang said angrily.

" Don't worry young master although he seems to have a good celestial of stealth but I can track them with my scouting celestial, it is just that it will take some time" he said in a feared voice, he didn't wanted to make this young man angry.

........

" What was that horse and why did it disappear suddenly" huo ling asked with curiousity it was his first time seeing something like that.

Liu Bao hesitated but then replied after a sigh " that was an escape tails man from my mother. She gave it to me for such a situation, it was an expendable one so vanished after running out of power"

He understood the situation clearly now and increased his speed.

Meanwhile Liu Bao was looking at his face and thinking " who is this guy, from when did the third class had such a genius, he had already reached upper phase. Including me and the all other disciples there are only 5 or 7 more people at the upper phase also all of them were from the first class.

Her face soon blushed red when she noticed how she was in his arms. She had never been so close to someone else than her mother before.

Soon they reached the cave :

Huo ling took a medicine bottle and give it to her, " use it on your leg , it will help fasten the healing ".

She caught it and began to wrap up around her leg " that second stage master has a powerful tracking celestial worm, they will be here sooner or later " she said with a serious expression.

Huo lings frowned and replied " you look quite comfortable for being someone who dragged an innocent soul like myself into your mess " he replied.

She gazed at him from top to bottom, her face had an expression of surprise wasn't this person too heartless to say such a thing to a beautiful girl.

She wasn't bragging or something but she had even more beautiful looks than the genius Li Qing and many people were fawning to get her favour.

" What do you want " she asked after seeing his hints.

" You are from the capital so you must have many essence stones " Huo ling replied shamelessly.

Liu Bao's was surprised, is all his brain going into his looks or something, " Deal, help me reach the academy and i will give you enough of them " she replied.

" Listen carefully " he told a plan to her.

Liu Bao's face lit up " although he seems dumb, the plan is actually a masterpiece" she thought.

They began to prepare for it afterwards.
