18 Xiao Wu (1/2)

”What are you talking about! Talk clearly!” The old man from the DarkWood Sect yelled, grabbing Xiao Wu's throat.

”Old Yi! Calm down!” The old man from the Light Sect shouted.

Before anyone else could react, You Jin took out two swords, one in each hand, and charged towards Old Jin. The Light Sect's old man protected Xiao Wu just-in-time and earned enough time for You Jin to attack. Old Yi had no other choice but to avoid the fatal attack, they were both at the Nascent Soul stage.

”Are you guys going to start an internal strife in the South Country?” Old Yi exclaimed.

”No! But you should calm down. Now little girl, please explain what happened afterwards.”

Xiao Wu struggled. Everyone was focused on this girl who held all the answers.

”We were mistaken, the Puppet Guide we previously got was not a puppet, it was a rogue cultivator...”

”That's impossible, we examined every person who passed through the portal, there was no room for a mistake!” This time it was the Berserk Mountain old man who talked.

Xiao Wu shook her head. ”This guy entered through other means, he was teleported in through an array, both women were his maids, the two of them had gotten severely wounded after the teleportation, they almost died in the process. After the battle, they chased us, but we escaped. That was until Lu Xin caught up to us with her butterfly...”

”Then how did you escape? Where is You Ye! Lu Xin is acknowledged as an incredible genius, you shouldn't be able to escape her.” You Jin was getting nervous, where was her daughter?

”Well... Lu Xin was sent flying by a slap from the man we mistook as the puppet guide.”

”Excuse me?” You Jin was stunned, the other old men were also stunned. They knew who Lu Xin was and how much effort the Central Country had spent in growing her.

A few peoples in the crowd started to comment and discuss, explaining the situation to the rest of the newcomers who didn't know Lu Xin.

”Who is this youth you met? Could it be someone also from the Central Country? Perhaps you didn't know him, so he lied...” The Light Sect's old man was asking.

”That's not possible. Xiao Wu has a weird bloodline, she can detect if someone is lying. Tell us who was this young man.” You Jin asked.

”This... Can I not reply to these questions? I don't want to disclose his personal information...” Xiao Wu was trying to protect Ye Bai in her own ways. She knew she had to give them some information or it would end badly for her if the others took too long to exit. That was why she was trying to buy time for herself, but she didn't want to expose him like that.

”Sure thing! You don't need to reply, I would use Soul Search on you. Don't worry there is only a 90% chance you will become a vegetable.” Old Yi was walking to Xiao Wu with a wicked smile on his face.
