Gao Feng and Nie Yan walked up to Wang Chong and whispered, ”Lord Marquis, just what is the background of this girl? How can she be so formidable?”
”That's right! Although the wujian grass in the chest isn't heavy, the chest itself is. How can she be so strong?”
”Haha, this is Wushang Village. You just need to get used to it.”
Wang Chong grinned, got up, and began to follow the girl. From ahead came the girl's faint voice.
”Hurry up!”
The girl's speed was much faster than they had imagined.
As the group proceeded farther in, the terrain grew steeper and harder to traverse. Yet the girl leading the way continued to almost fly across the path, not slowed in the slightest.
As the rest of the group watched from the back, they felt that the girl navigated the rocks as agilely and nimbly as a civet cat.
Gao Feng and the others were growing more and more astonished. At the start, none of them had thought much about Wang Chong's decision to make Wushang his fief and build a city there, but now, none of them dared to believe that the decision was made so simply.
No wonder Young Master chose to build a city here. It's probably for this Wushang Village, Gao Feng mentally speculated. As he followed Wang Chong, he gradually began to understand that every one of Wang Chong's decisions was never as simple as it seemed.
A girl of only eight or nine already possessed such shocking talent. Whether in speed or dexterity, she already far exceeded the rest of the party, and even Gao Feng and Nie Yan felt like they wouldn't be able to keep up with her. One could easily imagine how powerful the rest of the people in Wushang Village were.
Gao Feng and Nie Yan were finding this Wushang Village to be more and more curious.
As they followed the girl, they gradually began to hear more and more noise.
”Who goes there? You dare intrude on our Wushang Village!”
A thunderous voice suddenly rose from a distant peak. As the voice was still echoing in the air, there was a rush of wind. Before anyone could react, a boulder was suddenly tossed toward Wang Chong from a mountain several hundred zhang away.
In a flash, that boulder was falling over Wang Chong's head. At this moment, everyone could clearly make out that this boulder was longer than a zhang and a half in diameter and weighed at least two thousand jin.
If such a massive boulder crashed down, even steel would crumple, much less a body of flesh and blood.
Buzz!
At this sight, Wang Chong couldn't help but mentally smile. Without a movement from him, a wave of energy rolled out and stopped the rock while it was still one zhang away, freezing it in mid-air.
For a moment, everything was quiet, and even the distant mountains were silent. Everyone looked at that massive boulder and Wang Chong in shock.
Even the little girl turned her head and looked at him with mouth agape.
The girl suddenly turned toward the distant mountains and bellowed in anger, ”Uncle Jiu, you big dummy, why are you hitting my friend?”
”What friend? Xiaoyan, they aren't people from the village. You've been tricked!”
An extremely vexed and furious voice came from a distant cliff. He seemed even angrier than the girl.
”'Friend', I don't know who you are or what you came for, but you should quickly go back, while you still have time.”
”Uncle Jiu! Why can't I talk sense into you!” The girl put a hand on her waist and continued her tirade, her eyes spitting fire. ”I said that he's my friend, and he even has a friend with Grandpa. They even gave me wujian grass and knew that my fox is called Luoluo. Stop making trouble and let them by!”
”Luoluo?”
The voice seemed to pause and then dwindle away. From a distance, one could hear muttered words.
”How did these fellows know? Could they really be friends that the chief made on the outside?”
Not many people in Wushang Village knew that this girl's fox was called Luoluo, but Uncle Jiu happened to be one of them. It was impossible for anyone who wasn't part of the village to know of the name 'Luoluo'.
Wang Chong silently smiled, calmly watching as the girl talked with her clansman.
She was already like this when she was young; no wonder she grew up to have such a violent temperament.
In the distance, the person that the girl called Uncle Jiu finally made a choice.
”Since you know of Luoluo, then you at least aren't bad people. Forget it; I'll let you in.”
