Chapter 779: Lend a Helping Hand When Injustice is Seen
Seeing the man run away in a panic, Lin Xi and Jian Shen followed him closely and soon caught up with him.
"Don’t kill me, please, I beg you," the man pleaded in terror, curling up on the ground.
Jian Shen then said, "It’s all right, get up. No one here is going to hurt you."
Upon hearing this, the man calmed down a bit, then opened his eyes, briefly glancing over Jian Shen and Lin Xi, especially when he saw Lin Xi, he was completely taken aback by her beauty.
The man stood up, dusting off the dirt clinging to his clothes. Judging by the way he was packed, it seemed like he was on a long journey.
Lin Xi then asked, "Do you live in this primitive forest? Your ancient town must be nearby, right?"
The man looked puzzled, staring blankly at Lin Xi, then counter-questioned, "Yes, how do you know that?"
"That’s not important. Take me to your ancient town. We’d like a drink of water." Lin Xi spoke naturally and friendly, however, the young man appeared reluctant, "No, not now. Today, many soldiers arrived and kidnapped our townsfolk to use them as laborers. I just escaped, I won’t go back. I advise you not to go either, or you’ll also get caught."
Lin Xi frowned slightly, then said, "Don’t worry, we won’t harm you. You’ve seen the Martial Arts of this gentleman just now, have? He can help drive away those soldiers."
