"Well you have to pass through me then" Bob replied to the cloaked cultivator with a cold look on his face as he suddenly moved.
"Bob wait, let me handle him" But right before Bob could approach the cloaked cultivator, Hutton suddenly spoke up in a calm tone as he fixed his gaze on the cloaked cultivator with a solemn look on his face.
"You? Want to handle me? This must be the greatest joke I have heard in my life" The cloaked cultivator suddenly commented in a mocking tone. But neither Bob nor Hutton pay heed to what he said as they both stared at each other.
"Very well then, I will keep Lily and the Young Mistress safe" After a few seconds went by, Bob finally spoke up in a relieved tone as he took a step back.
"Thank you" Hutton said with a warm smile on his face. But the cloaked cultivator didn’t take in the short scene that just happened right in front of him the same way Hutton did.
"It seems like I need to show you brats that am not someone to take lightly" The cloaked cultivator said with a voice filled with killing intent will his aura suddenly became filled with a menacing qi.
"Well show us then. Am waiting right here" Hutton replied with a mocking grin on his face as he prepares himself for the clash he is about to have with the cloaked cultivator.
"You have a death wish!!" Suddenly, the cloaked cultivator exclaimed in fury as he pounced on Hutton with a terrifying speed.

"H-How are y-you so strong!?" The once cloaked cultivator exclaimed with a look of disbelief on his now visible face. But Hutton didn’t give him a reply as he looked at the cultivator weirdly as he thought.
’This was the person I was fighting?’
Apparently, the person who Hutton has been fighting is a beautiful looking young lady. With her fiery red hair cascading in loose waves around her shoulders, reminiscent of the rolling hills of the Scottish countryside. Her fair complexion was kissed by the sun, freckles scattered like constellations across her nose and cheeks, a testament to days spent beneath the open sky. Her piercing blue eyes held a depth of wisdom beyond her years, mirroring the vastness of the lochs that dotted to what seems like the Scottish landscape.
’Wait.... I know this lady’ Bob thought with a surprise look on his face. But just then, a thought came into his mind which quickly made him to smile wryly as he shifted his gaze towards Ling Fei.
’Sure enough, this was planned’ Bob thought with as the wry smile on his face became more evident.
Who Bob was actually looking at suddenly have a wry smile also on her face as she slowly shakes her head. As for Lily, she is currently giggling silently.
"This is now fair! I want a rematch!!" The Scottish looking lady said loudly in an unwilling tone as she tries to get up.
Crrr!
"Ah!!" But before she could stand on her two feet l, a cracking sound rang out from one of her legs which made her to scream painfully while falling down on the floor.
"You want a rematch for ambushing me?" Not showing any pity towards the Scottish lady, Hutton asked with a cold look on his face as he got closer to her.
’Oh no, this is bad’ Noticing the mood Hutton was entering, Ling Fei thought with an anxious look on her face as she quickly yelled out.
"Wait Hutton!!"
"Huh? What is it?" Confused to why Ling Fei called him, Hutton paused as he turned his gaze towards Ling Fei and ask.
"Umm.... She is.... A friend of mine" Ling Fei mustered up all the courage she could have and told Hutton while she let her head slightly lowered. This reaction caused Lily to have a shocked expression on both Lily and the Scottish lady’s face.
’Big Sis can behave like this?’ Lily thought with a shocked look on her face as she just stared at Ling Fei.
"A friend?" Hutton asked with creased brows as he shifted his gaze back to the Scottish lady. At this moment, The lady surprisenly isn’t in pain anymore as she quickly rose to her feet.
"Who exactly are you for Ling Fei to behave in such a manner?" As soon as the Scottish lady stood to her feet, she quickly asked with a curious look on her face.
"Do you honestly expect me to answer that or are you going to state who you are and why you ambushed me?" Hutton asked right back with an indifferent look on his face as he suddenly let out his killing intent.
When the Scottish lady felt this intent, her expression quickly became grave as she hurriedly replied.
"My name is Fiona and I was just... having fun"
The moment the Scottish lady made that statement finish, she regretted it as the intent which Hutton placed on her quickly increased.
Noticing that Hutton’s rooftop is about to explode, Bob quickly spoke up in a calm manner.
"Well why don’t we find out the way of spoke off on how to put the Harbingers on bay for a while"
"Yeah you are right, we should leave right now, we don’t have much time in our hands" catching the meaning to why Bob made that statement now, Ling Fei supported Bob’s idea.
"Am sorry Young Mistress but you have to stay back with Lily and her" Bob suddenly said in an apologetic tone as he shifted his gaze towards Ling Fei while points at the Fiona.
"Huh? Why?" Ling Fei quickly asked with a displeased look on her face along with Lily who was staring at Bob.
"I think you know why Young Mistress" Bob replied with a knowing smile on his face as he secretly glance at the Fiona. That single action Bob did quickly made Ling Fei and even Lily to understand which made them to have wry smile on their faces.
"Let’s go"
Right at this moment, Hutton suddenly spoke up in a bland voice as he suddenly vanished from where he stood.
"I will call Long to come and accompany you right away Young Mistress" Bob said with a light smile in his face before he also disappeared from that room.
"Don’t waste time there alright!!?" Ling Fei yelled loudly the moment Bob vanished from the room. But unfortunately, she didn’t get a response back.
"Where are they going to?" Fiona suddenly asked with a curious look on her face.
"And why do you want to know?" Ling Fei asked back with a cold look on her face which quickly made Fiona to smile awkwardly as she thought.
’i just wanted to ask the move he previously used on me that led to my defeat but it seems like it’s inappropriate right now’.
....
"Is this the place?" Hutton asked with a curious look on his face as he observed the building that is right in front of him. Apparently, Hutton and Bob could been seen standing right in front of a dojo in the middle of the woods.
In the heart of the dense woodland, concealed by a canopy of towering trees, stood the dojo, a haven of discipline amidst nature’s untamed beauty. Its exterior was a harmonious blend of rustic simplicity and serene elegance, crafted from weathered wood that seemed to meld seamlessly with the surrounding forest.
A narrow dirt path, flanked by swaying ferns and wildflowers, guided visitors through the wilderness to the dojo’s entrance. Overhead, sunlight filtered through the dense foliage, casting intricate patterns of light and shadow upon the moss-covered roof.
The dojo’s walls, adorned with intricate wooden carvings depicting scenes of martial prowess and natural splendor, spoke of the reverence with which its inhabitants held both their art and the world around them. A small wooden sign, weathered by time and adorned with the characters for "way of the warrior," marked the entrance, inviting all who sought enlightenment to step inside.
Surrounded by the sights and sounds of the forest, the dojo seemed to breathe with life, its very presence a testament to the symbiotic relationship between humanity and the natural world. Here, amidst the tranquil embrace of the wilderness, students could train their bodies and minds, finding strength and solace in the timeless wisdom of the ancient trees.
"Yes" Bob said with a knowing smile on his face.
