Chapter 91: Chapter 22 Pu Yan Warrior_4
Xuan Yue ran to Ah Dai’s side, asking urgently, "Are you okay?"
Ah Dai coughed twice, holding up the Tian Gang Sword and propped himself up, saying, "I’m fine."
Xuan Yue chanted softly, "Great Sky God! Please lend me your divine power of mercy and heal the wounds in front of me. Divine Healing Technique." Following her spell, a white glow emerged from her magic wand and with a flash, it entered Ah Dai’s body.
The instant warmth spread through Ah Dai’s meridians, his true Qi inherently possessed a certain sacred aura. The moment Xuan Yue’s light magic entered his body, it stimulated his life energy, making his chest feel much better.
Taking a deep breath, Ah Dai nodded at Xuan Yue and said, "Thank you, Miss."
The soldiers of the Pu Yan tribe who had come with Yan Shi got off their horses one by one, gathered around Yan Shi, brandishing their sabers, looking ready to fight at any time.
Ah Dai looked up at Yan Shi, who still seemed to be in a daze, apparently unable to believe his defeat. "Brother, I wonder if your words count. Can we pass now?" Ah said very politely, with a faint smile on his face. He had been scared profoundly by his own sword just now. Since it didn’t hurt Yan Shi, he was genuinely glad.
Yan Shi was awakened by Ah Dai’s voice. He had an embarrassed look on his face and said to Ah Dai, "Brother, you are indeed skilled. Thank you for being merciful. Yan Shi admits defeat. May I ask if the weapon you used is the Tian Gang Sword?"
Ah Dai nodded, saying, "Yes, it is the Tian Gang Sword."
Yan Shi’s eyes lit up with joy as he walked towards Ah Dai. Wan Li quickly stepped forward to block Yan Shi from Ah Dai, suspiciously asked, "What do you want?"
Yan Shi spread his hands, his previous arrogance and domineering attitude completely absent, and said in a peaceful tone, "I have no ill intentions. I just want to have few words with this brother."
Xuan Yue leaned into Ah Dai and said, "What’s there to talk about? Ah Dai already beat you, it’s time to let us pass. We’re in a rush."
Yan Shi looked at Xuan Yue, then at Ah Dai, saying, "Brother, my name is Yan Shi. When I was young, I was taught by Xi Wen, the eldest disciple of the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang. Somehow, we’re part of the same school. I really mean no harm. Since you are associated with the Tian Gang Sect, you can’t be a bad person. You may pass through our territory."
Ah Dai was slightly taken aback and said, "So, brother Yan Shi is also part of the Tian Gang Sword Sect! My uncle was a member too. I’m Ah Dai, and he gifted me this Tian Gang Sword. Elder brother Yan Shi, we will be on our way."
Yan Shi chuckled, saying, "How about this. It’s difficult for foreigners to travel through the territory of the Pu Yan Tribe, I’ll accompany you for part of the way."
The sudden turn of events left Moon Scar and Yue Ji a little hard to adapt to. Yue Ji snorted coldly, saying, "Who knows what your intentions are? By entering your territory, aren’t we giving you the right to slaughter us?"
Yan Shi said angrily, "I swear on the honor of the son of the Pu Yan Tribe’s clan leader that I, Yan Shi, will not speak or act with deceit."
Apart from Ah Dai and Xuan Yue, the other members of the Moon Scar Mercenary Corps were alarmed. They had not expected the large figure in front of them to be the son of the clan leader of the Pu Yan Tribe, one of the six major tribes of the Federation.
Xuan Yue was twirling her magic wand in her hand, carelessly said, "Who cares whose son you are. If you want to come, come along. Brother Moon Scar, let’s get on the carriage." After speaking, she turned and walked towards the carriage.
"Brother Ah Dai." Yan Shi stopped Ah Dai, who was about to join Xuan Yue on the carriage, asking, "Let’s ride together. There are a few questions I’d like to ask you."
Ah Dai turned his head to look at Xuan Yue. Xuan Yue glanced at Yan Shi, saying, "Go ahead, but if jolting around hurts you, I’m not healing you again. Humph." After finishing, she went into the carriage.
Yan Shi chuckled, and had one of his men give his horse to Ah Dai, then shouted,"Brothers, clear the way ahead."
It was the first time Ah Dai had ridden a horse, and he felt a little nervous. When he first got up, the high-headed horse shuddered a bit, Ah Dai’s weight plus the weight of the Tian Gang Sword were somewhat burdensome. Ah Dai held the reins tightly, his legs squeezed the horse’s belly, his face flushed with embarrassment, as his horse remained still and didn’t move forward.
Seeing Ah Dai’s posture, Yan Shi knew that he didn’t know how to ride a horse. He laughed, saying, "A little nervous, Ah Dai? Is this your first time riding?"
Ah Dai, his face red, nodded silently.
Yan Shi said with a smile, "No worries. Riding a horse is simple, let me teach you. Don’t tense up so much, relax a little. Lean forward, gently nudge the horse’s belly with your foot, and it’ll start moving. Yes, yes, like that. Don’t hold the reins so tightly, let go a bit, it’ll make the horse uncomfortable. See, isn’t it easy? When you want to turn, lean your body in the direction you want to go, and lightly guide the reins. The horse will follow your command. When you want it to stop, lean back, take hold of the reins with both hands, and it will stop."
Ah Dai did as Yan Shi instructed, and was finally able to make the horse beneath him move. Gradually, he began to speed up, the unfamiliar galloping felt rather peculiar.
Moon Scar and the others had already gotten back into the carriage. As soon as they got in, Miao Fei eagerly asked Xuan Yue, "Miss Xuan Yue, how come we never heard before that Ah Dai knew martial arts!"
