The Unknown Beauty Chapter 53

It air was quiet as if the forest itself was listening to their conversation . The only thing that could be heard was the fire crackling in the moonlight . Everyone sat around the fire, not making a sound after his story . w.a.n.g (Zhang) Haocun didn't want to tell them his situation but only spoke up because he didn't want them to misunderstand .

The reason why they are in this situation now is because of the rebellion of Lu Tian Jie against the w.a.n.g Empire . Though it wasn't Lu Tian Jie's fault, he was a major cause of the h.e.l.lish days every citizen has gone through .

They were still thinking about what happened now that they know more information of why they are in this mess .

"I'm only saying this from my side . I don't think I will be returning to the w.a.n.g Empire anymore . " w.a.n.g Haocun added . It's true it wasn't entirely his fault but he has caused some calamity to this country . "But It's probably best if I talk to Lin Yu Yan about it . "

w.a.n.g Haocun looked down waiting for the others response . The first person to speak was Chu Yang .

"I think it's fine for now, for Yu Yan to not know . We can keep it a secret . " Chu Yang said with a smile . "But it's strange though, I'm sure she knows who you are . Maybe she didn't want to bring it up . "

"That is true . Knowing she is VERY smart for her age, she would've figured out by now," Xie Rong added after .

It was silent and everyone was thinking if Lin Yu Yan really actually knows . They didn't know she has been living alone for almost her entire life so she has very small knowledge about the w.a.n.g Empire and most people of the world other than her own family .

Then someone randomly laughed . It was a small chuckle coming from Jin Baoyu . "Zhang… You used your mother's last name to hide yourself? Haha, you're making it more obvious! Not a lot of people have that last name . I'm surprised you lasted this long," and her body shook in laughter .

She laughed making the others realize it too and laughed with her . Zhang Haocun was relieved at the light mood . Jin Baoyu understood what the prince was going through so she wanted to lighten the mood making the rest of the group laugh .

Everyone agreed to not tell Lin Yu Yan about Zhang Haocun's situation and was heading to bed . Peng Ai, Zhang Haocun, and Gu Xiang kept watch for the first half of the night .

As they were paying attention to their surroundings, they notice a great number of cultivators actually surrounding them . Without the cultivators noticing, they gave each other a look waking up the others and act like they are switching shifts .

Peng Ai got the girls up, while Zhang Haocun and Gu Xiang got the boys . The enemy notice the slight change in their expression and with the leader's signal, attacked them .

There was around 20 people and they surrounded them in a flash .

"That women said to kill anyone that get in they way correct?" One of the men spoke first .

"I mean, technically they are in the way of our path so I would say we can . " another person answered smiling evilly .

Gu Xiang didn't know what their motive is, 'Woman?' So their was a lady after them for some reason . "What do you want?"

A man with a loud voice, taller and seems to be stronger than the rest, spoke up, "You guys traveled with the scarred face woman . Where is she?"

'How did they know? Have they been following us this whole entire time? Why are they after the Master?' Wu Lang (10) thought, shaking in fear .

"We don't know . She left us here to die . " Gu Xiang said lying and hoping they take the bait and leave them alone .

"Oh, then we should get going…" He turns around but stops . "You really think we will fall for that," and smiles as the others attacked them .

Everything happened so fast, Chu Yang tried to help Lu w.a.n.g and Wei Ru when a man pinned them down to the ground but 3 other enemies captured her . Chu Yang and Gu Xiang was tough to capture but they eventually caught them .

"Where is she?" The leader asks Kenzhi (demon) . Since he was the youngest of them all, it should be easier to get an answer .

"I don't know . She didn't tell us . " His voice wasn't shaking as the leader thought it would . Kenzhi has gone through something worse then this so he wasn't fazed .

Then they held Peng Ai (water) down to the ground and held a knife to her throat and asked the question again but to Gu Xiang, "Where is she?"

Peng Ai shows no change in expression but her hands trembled in fear and her sweat drips off of her face . Gu Xiang looked over at the others and they also have knives against their throat .
