BIRTH OF DRAGON WARRIORS
36 - Traveling Together

Chu Kai was jolted with a question from Wei Zhang Zihan. He felt that this young man seemed to care more about him than the three warriors who were clearly not good figures.

Wei Zhang Zihan said, "Didn't I tell you that everything that happened wasn't your fault? Chaos like this will always exist, even without you. But you just walk away feeling that you're the cause of it all."

"..............." Chu Kai clenched his hands. He still lowered his gaze when he opened his voice.

His tone was slow as he said, "I know. Swordsman Wei also said that the only thing I can do is to be strong. That's why I'm gone,"

"I'm leaving... To be strong." Chu Kai looked up and looked at Wei Zhang Zihan's face. He said, "In order to be strong... I cannot stay in Lianyi City, nor the Wushi Mountain Sect. The place is familiar to me and therefore... I can't grow."

"Kai..."

"Some people can become strong under the guidance of a teacher. But this kind of thing doesn't suit me. I'll be strong in my own way,"

Wei Zhang Zihan watched the young man before him and understood the intent of this subject's speech. Training under the guidance of an elder was like forging a sword, while training with the world directly was like testing the strength or absence of the sword.

The problem was, Chu Kai had just been accepted into the Wushi Mountain Sect. There were not many sword bases that he knew and this figure actually wanted to go down the mountain?!

"Are you stupid?" Wei Zhang Zihan opened his voice and made Chu Kai flinch. He said, "Go without knowing how to defend yourself... You want to die?"

"..............." Chu Kai remained silent. He didn't know how to talk to this young man. How he said that the only sword technique he had was to kill the opponent. And it can't even be broken by anyone yet.

Seeing the young man in front of him just ducked down without saying anything made Wei Zhang Zihan take a breath and then shook his head softly. He also stepped away.

Chu Kai thought that Wei Zhang Zihan was furious and left him. He did not expect that even before he started thinking about blaming himself again, his hand was grabbed and suddenly pulled by another subject.

!!

"Pe-Power Wei?" Chu Kai was surprised. It was completely unexpected by Wei Zhang Zihan's actions.

Chu Kai blinked a few times before coming to his senses and said, "This spirit is ma'am-not the way home. Pe-Pendekar Wei... Take me where?"

"............ We're going to find Nalan Shu." Wei Zhang Zihan. He looked at Chu Kai and again said, "Finding Nalan Shu while teaching you how to fight."

"What-what?!" Chu Kai was shocked. How could he be in a situation like this, "Ta-but Swordsman Wei-"

"Do you have any other purpose for leaving town?" Wei Zhang Zihan interrupted. Chu Kai who heard that just shook his head slowly in response.

"No... I'm just-"

"Then you come with me,"

!

"wait. My package," Chu Kai almost forgot his package. Wei Zhang Zihan let go of his handrails and saw the natural green-eyed young man immediately take out a pack as well as a sword sheath.

Chu Kai put back the sword in his hand and caught up with Wei Zhang Zihan. He asked, "Well, what about that guy?"

Wei Zhang Zihan raised his eyebrows sideways and said without a tone, "There will be a swordsman who buried him later."

Chu Kai blinked, he wanted to ask back but Wei Zhang Zihan had already walked away. He was forced to undo his intentions and follow the holy warrior.

The scorching sun shining down on the trees made Chu Kai stifled. He continued to follow Wei Zhang Zihan's footsteps for some time.

"Sniper Wei, how did you know I was here? And... Where are we going to find Miss Nalan Shu?"

"Dead Moon Sect,"

Hearing the name of the sect made Chu Kai widen his eyes. He lowered his gaze and said, "Miss Nalan was kidnapped by members of the Dead Moon Sect. It's all because of-"

"You want to blame yourself again?" Wei Zhang Zihan interrupted. He looked at the young man beside him and sighed. He said, "You're really going to die sooner if you keep feeling guilty about anything."

"But the problem is..."

"The "Death Moon Sect is already famous for often making a scene. And since they were from the Black Stream, then their vision was different from that of the White Stream sect. The little boy knew that these two streams would always be enemies if they met,"

"Executor Wei," Chu Kai opened his voice. "I know that the two streams have long been at odds. But the thing that happened to Lianyi City as well as the Wushi Mountain Sect was obviously because of me. They're after the Dragon Warrior and me..."

"No, i... Don't know."

Wei Zhang Zihan took a breath. He stared at the sky on the sidelines of the leaves, his right hand was behind his back when he opened his voice.

'The Yu Qi Valley broke into seven.

Scattered, opening the way of peace for those with great hearts.

However, there will come a time where greed envelops man.

And the moment it arrived, the Devil emerged from the darkness.

Only the Dragon Warrior will be able to unite the forces of the world and together bring about change.'

Wei Zhang Zihan looked at Chu Kai and said, "This is the last message of a powerful legend that saved the world from the attack of a Demon Beast."

Wei Zhang Zihan took a breath and again said, "Tens of years ago... Demonic Beasts came and carried a threat to the humans in the Central Plains. But because of a legend, the demonic beast was finally able to be defeated. And since this incident, the humans and demonic beasts have agreed to live together, make their own territory, and not interfere with each other."

"Just..." Wei Zhang Zihan said, "Even though have a deal... Yet the demonic beasts had yet to unleash their grudges and on the other side-humans did as well. It looks safe, but the world isn't okay."

"Being a Dragon Swordsman is not your choice, but because the world chose you. You may not want it, but the world needs you." Wei Zhang Zihan said, "It is difficult to shoulder this much responsibility, but for the sake of keeping mankind safe-you must do so."

Chu Kai tried to catch his breath. He felt very claustrophobic but as he was about to speak, there was a rumbling sound coming from his stomach. In an instant, the unexpected made his face redden.

Wei Zhang Zihan was stunned, he blinked with that unusual voice. Chu Kai touched his stomach and nervously said, "I... When tense feeling hungry. This... Um..."

Wei Zhang Zihan watched the young man in front of him and snorted, "You... Not shameless."

Chu Kai pursed his lips and lowered his head. The rumbling came back from his stomach and made his cheek color even brighter. He was tense, but also embarrassed.

Wei Zhang Zihan exhaled, "Can't complain to you like this."

"Sorry.." Chu Kai followed Wei Zhang Zihan's footsteps while gently rubbing his stomach. He continued walking with this young man and besides being hungry... He's actually very tired.

Chu Kai had been holding him back since then and could no longer. He opened his voice, "I'm so curious. Swordsman Wei, don't you feel exhausted or overheated? Walking in the hot sun for long periods of time really drains a lot of energy, but all I see is you're fine."

Wei Zhang Zihan turned his head and said, "If you want to be like me... Then practice it right. Follow whatever I say,"

Wei Zhang Zihan led Chu Kai deeper into the forest. The journey was quite long and both stopped when they arrived at a small river.

"You stay here, I'll be right back."

!!

Chu Kai flinched when suddenly Wei Zhang Zihan darted away and left him. He didn't even have time to say anything and the young man had somehow gone where he was now.

Chu Kai took a breath and walked closer to the river. He crouched down and began to put down his sword and wrapper. Seeing the clear flowing water made Chu Kai feel a little better.

The young man with natural green eyes drank the river water to quench his thirst and then washed his face. He was still imagined by when the stranger as well as how the old man who owned the carriage died.

During his life in the tavern, Chu Kai had indeed experienced many things. For example, when visitors to the shop is a swordsman from the Black Stream, the commotion is certainly inevitable. Moreover, when the swordsman met with those from the white stream - then it was certain that damage would occur.

If it was unlucky, Chu Kai's tavern would become the arena of swordsmen's fight. He was not a young man who had just seen the world, Chu Kai had often witnessed a swordsman who was severely injured to a bloody fight, right before his eyes.

It's just that of course he was first directly involved in a mess, and it started from his election as a Dragon Swordsman.

"How's this...?" Chu Kai looked at the clear stream of water and he remembered Wei Zhang Zihan's words.

Chu Kai muttered, "When human greed has crossed the line, then the demons will emerge from the darkness. Only a Dragon Swordsman can bring about change, but how can I-!!"

Chu Kai was surprised. A loud explosion suddenly sounded not far from where it was. He rushed to his feet with a feeling that somehow turned into a very agitated one.

"Did anyone fight?" Chu Kai felt the ground he was treading tremble. The loud voice came from the direction Wei Zhang Zihan had left earlier.

"Sniper Wei, don't-don't..."
