Chapter 143 Jade forest-4 (Love?)
Using the Void skill Jayden sent the bandit back to his group, then he relaxed and waited for the battle to come.
...
The bandit who was looking around in confusion just a moment ago, suddenly appeared under the tall tree he was resting earlier. He looked around in confusion and then shouted:
" There are a bunch of kids coming here, get prepared. "
All the remaining members looked at him with questioning eyes, one of them said:
" What are you talking about, there's no one around and who would even dare to enter our territory? "
" Don't question, just prepare they'll be here soon. We don't have much time, I can't explain it but I'm sure that they are here to kill us. "
" If what you're saying is true, then we won't let those puppies go, it's time to hunt. "
After listening to the words of the leader, all of them stood up and began to prepare.
***
Jayden observed them and smiled: ' At least they aren't too stupid. ' he thought.
Their group of 30 moved at the usual pace and slowly they approached the area where all the bandits were waiting to ambush them.
' They're too weak, anyone would be able to sense their location. Haa ' Jayden sighed.
And just as he had thought as they got closer, both Qiang and Xiao Rong noticed the location of all the hidden bandits. Qiang halted in his steps and while raising a hand he spoke:
" Wait, everyone stay silent and look around carefully, the bandits are hidden nearby. "
Since most of the disciples in the group were junior disciples, it would be the first time they were going to fight someone with the intent to kill. They looked around vigilantly while getting closer to others.
" Attack!! " a loud voice rang out in the forest, and then shouts came from all directions, as all eleven bandits charged at the group, they pointed their weapons at them and slashed crazily.
Qiang and Xiao were quick to move, and before the group of bandits could get closer to the disciples they were all killed. With a single strike, they killed multiple bandits.
*THUD*
With a thud, the last bandit fell to the ground, dead. Xiao Rong killed the last bandit and then scanned the area around her to check if other bandits were hiding.
After making sure that all the bandits were dead, Qiang looked back at the group and asked:
" Is anyone injured? "
There was no response, then he looked at Xiao Rong and asked in a concerned tone: " Xiao, are you fine? "
"..." Xiao Rong nodded and then spoke: " There might be other bandits nearby, let's move forward. "
" Alright, everyone be careful, We are resuming. " Qiang called out to everyone.
...
Many hours passed and they didn't meet any other bandit group. A few beasts attacked them while they were travelling, but all of them were weak and killed easily by Qiang and some of the junior disciples.
It had turned dark then they decided to set the camp again, just like the previous day, they divided into two groups and set up their tents.
After eating the dinner, they went into their respective tents, and the entire place became eerily quiet. Qiang stood outside his tent gazing into Xiao Rong's direction, looking like a lovestruck person.
After sighing loudly, he enters his tent but not before glancing a few times at her tent.
...
Xiao Rong was lying in her tent, her eyes staring intently at the ceiling. ' Will he bring me there again? ' she wondered.
She closed her eyes and tried to sleep, even after over 20 minutes passed, she couldn't sleep. She sat up and tried to cultivate, but failed again as her mind kept having strange thoughts.
Every second, her eyes scanned the tent to check whether she is still in her own tent or she have suddenly appeared in Wang Jin's tent, like yesterday.
A couple of hours passed, but nothing happened, no matter how long she kept her eyes closed, she couldn't sleep. Her mind was a mess, and after some minutes, she walked out of her tent to get some fresh air.
She walked away from the area in which the disciples were staying, there was a high cliff some distance away, she stood near a big rock as she gazed into the distance. Cold wind was blowing as her long hair fluttered, she looked extremely beautiful under the shade of stars. Looking up Xiao Rong observed the stars, without knowing herself, a smile appeared on her lips.
She felt her mind relaxing and her worries disappeared, she felt a bit more clear.
" Can't sleep? "
Suddenly, Xiao Rong heard a voice from behind, she turned hastily and saw someone sitting on the big rock, he was looking up, observing the bright stars in the sky.
Xiao Rong was shocked at first since she didn't even notice him appearing so close to her, but then her mind froze as she stared at him. Under the night light, his skin seemed to be glowing, he looked extremely stunning. Seeing Wang Jin sitting on the rock like an extremely beautiful sculpture, there was just one word that came to her mind, ' Gorgeous '.
Xiao Rong couldn't answer his question for several minutes and just kept staring at him, her heart was beating rapidly. She felt something she couldn't describe in words, it was the first time she was in such a state.
" What's wrong? Why aren't you answering? " Jayden called again, turning his head towards her.
Coming back to her senses, Xiao Rong replied to hide her embarrassment: " Why do I have to answer you? "
" Ouch, you're as cold as ever and here I thought we've gotten a little closer. Anyway, you are looking rea~lly beautiful right now. " Jayden complimented with a charming smile.
" Hmph " Xiao Rong turned her head away, not showing him her red face, she have been called beautiful infinite time and by so many people but hearing it just now made her stomach tingle, and her heartbeat to become faster again.
Both of them stayed silent for some time, then just when Xiao Rong was wondering if she should ask something, Jayden spoke:
"Congratulations on your marriage in advance, I've heard Qiang is a good guy. You'll be happy with him, but I've to say he is one lucky guy. "
"..."
Thinking about her marriage, Xiao Rong's mood fell for some reason, the excitement and happiness she felt just moments ago disappeared. She glanced towards Jayden and asked:
" You've confessed your love to me multiple times, that means you have feelings for me right? Then don't you feel sad that I'll marry someone else? Don't you want to do something about it? " As she asked, Xiao Rong bit her lip and couldn't understand why she even asked such a question.
But a part of her was hoping he would not give up his feelings so easily, and just like before confess his love to her. Her mind was in chaos, she couldn't understand her feelings and hoped to get a answer from Wang Jin's reply.
