I Became the Youngest Disciple of the Martial God

How had they tracked us?

Arzan and I had made sure not to leave any trace of our passage as we moved.

I’d been sure that they wouldn’t be able to follow us this quickly even with the sun rising. That was why we’d gone into the cave and I’d let Arzan sleep.

But they had come to us so quickly, like they’d known where we were.

...No, now’s not the time to think about it.

This was the worst possible situation, but one saving grace was that the assassins didn’t know where we were specifically.

Do we just hold on for now?

I prayed the assassins wouldn’t notice us and would just walk past, but for some reason, I suspected it wouldn’t end that neatly.

If there was one thing I’d learned in my not-so-long life, it was that feelings of misfortune weren’t unfounded.
