BIRTH OF DRAGON WARRIORS
20 - Chu Tian

Jing Hao waited long enough for Wei Zhang Zihan. He occasionally stared at the horrifying-looking woman's corpse and gulped back.

Carefully, Jing Hao began to approach. It just didn't take long until the wind that was blowing around him became strange, so pressing.

Jing Hao's survival instincts appeared and he rushed off. The young man leaped towards the bushes to hide as he sensed danger approaching. He even held his breath.

Jing Hao's premonition was right. He hid and it didn't last long someone who had come out of nowhere started treading on the ground, right next to the corpse of the woman earlier.

Jing Hao peeked a little, he saw that the figure was a man with a large and muscular body. His clothes were black with a crescent painting on his left arm.

"It was unexpected that a Xiao Yi Fei could end up horribly like this," the man's voice was heavy. He seemed to grin and then said, "This is good. I'm curious about the power of the man who killed you,"

Jing Hao watched as the woman's corpse was carried away by the man. He had just come out of hiding when he felt the situation was safe. Jing Hao's heart beat immediately.

Wei Zhang Zihan had only come after Jing Hao waited for quite a while. Wei Zhang Zihan was seen frowning when he realized that the corpse of the foreign woman was no longer there.

Jing Hao who understood instantly opened his voice. The tone was slow, sounding a bit trembling. "I don't know anything, but after Young Master Wei left... Not long ago a big man appeared and he took the corpse away."

Wei Zhang Zihan looked at Jing Hao and then made the young man say, "I don't know that person at all. His face was invisible, but well..! I remember! He's got a crescent moon on his right arm."

"................." Wei Zhang Zihan did not speak, but a surprised-looking reaction was evident in the look in his eyes. He embraced Jing Hao and carried the young man away.

"Is he still not awake?" Chu Tian had just come from taking warm water. The look on his face was agitated, especially when he saw Chu Kai who was unconscious and with a pale face.

A woman who was a shopkeeper seemed to be shaking slowly. He took a breath and said, "Still not yet. I tried to wake her up, but I still couldn't."

Chu Tian rubbed his face and then walked over to Chu Kai's bed. He looked at this son and sighed. His eyes contained sadness.

The woman who is a waitress in this store also said, "The last time I saw Kai like this was when he was 10 years old. The wound was very severe at that time and his face was completely pale. I don't think he's gonna survive,"

"................" Chu Tian looked at this woman named Lin Si Yi. He lowered his gaze before his eyes closed.

Chu Tian took a breath. His voice softly as he spoke, "I found Kai on the lips of the Bai Lu river that is connected to the [Devil] Mogui Forest. He was still a child, yet with many scratches on his body. It feels like the devil marked it with their claws,"

"I never brought this up," Chu Tian grabbed the hand of the young man still lying before him and said, "I looked after him and even gave him my family name. He is now my son,"

"But did you ever ask why Kai was there?"

"I don't want to dig up his wound. He could tell everything when he himself was truly ready," Chu Tian reached out a hand. He rubbed Chu Kai's head when the sound of footsteps sounded.

Lin Si Yi looked over. The woman saw Wei Zhang Zihan enter with Jing Hao overtaken. He was about to open his voice again when he heard the murmur and cry from Chu Tian.

"Ka-Kai?" Chu Tian flinched. He watched as Chu Kai's forehead began to move and slowly the eyes of this young man opened.

!!

"Y..!" Jing Hao hurried over to his good friend when he learned that Chu Kai was starting to wake up.

"Son? You okay?" Chu Tian asked as Chu Kai began to turn his head and looked towards him.

"Dad..."

"Give him some water first,"

"Son, get up slowly. Be careful..."

Chu Kai drank the water that Chu Tian gave him. He looked around and witnessed that not only was his father in this place, but also Lady Lin Si Yi, Jing Hao, and including Sacred Warrior Wei Zhang Zihan.

!

Chu Kai flinched. He realized that he was in his father's tavern. He blinked as he slowly recalled the incident before he fell unconscious.

Previously, he had fought with a foreign woman and the exchange of attacks was extraordinarily fierce. He still can't believe he's alive after everything that happened.

Wei Zhang Zihan himself waited to not directly ask Chu Kai a question, but not with Jing Hao. The young man who was Chu Kai's friend in this tavern seemed to be very curious as to what was really going on.

Jing Hao said, "Kai. How did you end up like this? I looked for you with Swordsman Wei Zhang Zihan and saw you lying unconscious on the bank of the river. I also saw trees and grasses appear dead, and there was a dead body of a foreign woman stuck in one of the branches. How did that all happen?"

!!

Chu Tian and Lin Si Yi were shocked to hear Jing Hao's words. They stared at this young man before turning their eyes to Chu Kai, as if they wanted to ascertain the truth of what they had heard.

Chu Kai also appeared to be flinched. He looked at Jing Hao and Wei Zhang Zihan in turn. The people around him were indeed very curious, but he still did not know how to tell a story.

"At that time..." Chu Kai suddenly felt a pain in his head. He made Chu Tia and Lin Si Yi flinch.

"Y..!"

"Sorry, my head hurts..."

"Then there's no need to remember anything first," Chu Tian said, "You rest until your condition recovers."

Chu Kai nodded slowly and went back to lying down. Her father along with Jing Hao and Lin Si Yi decided to let her rest. They left and left him, only Wei Zhang Zihan did not budge.

Chu Tian did not force Wek Zhang Zihan to leave either. He simply saluted the swordsman and then closed the room.

"................."

The atmosphere instantly changed when the ones in the room only stayed Chu Kai and Wei Zhang Zihan.

Although Chu Kai was lying down, but he was unable to sleep due to nervousness with Wei Zhang Zihan's presence. Especially at this moment, the Sacred Swordsman seemed to cross his arms and stared straight at him.

Wei Zhang Zihan approached and tonelessly said, "In the forest back then... Who killed him?"
