Chapter 333: Protective Brother
" Tell me where do you want to go first? " Jayden asked, pretending that he hadn't seen Qiang.
" I heard there is a fair in the market just outside our sect, why don't we check that out? " She suggested, there was a beautiful smile on her face.
" Alright, then let's go there in a carriage. " Jayden said and then they began to walk to the place where such services are available. Qiang silently followed them, after walking for a dozen minutes they reached their destination, there were all types of carriages there. Jayden observed and after a moment he asked:
" I want to use this carriage. " A man with a big moustache came running towards them from his shop, he was surprised at first after seeing Xiao Rong but getting his composure back he spoke:
" Great choice, this carriage is a speciality of ours, it doesn't need a coach man, just by connecting it with your mental energy you would be easily able to control it. " He said rubbing his palms together.
Jayden nodded and asked: " How much? "
Showing a cheeky smile he replied: " Just twenty thousand sword points hehe, it's the rent for one week, after your use you can leave it wherever you want, you don't have to bring it back here, we'll fetch it ourselves. "
" Alright, here. " Jayden said and pointed his bracelet forward, the man also pointed his own bracelet towards Jayden, though his bracelet was totally different.
" F- Fifty thousand sword points? Do you want it for a longer period? " The shopkeeper asked hastily, shaking his head Jayden replied:
" No, just for today you can keep the rest of the sword points. "
The man in front was surprised and looked at Jayden with wide eyes, then a big smile appeared on his face, he bowed in front of Jayden and spoke:
" Thank you, sir, I'll prepare your carriage immediately, just give me a couple of minutes. "
Saying that he ran back into his shop and began to give various orders.
" Why did you spend so many points? " Xiao Rong asked, she wasn't poor but even she wouldn't be that generous with her tips.
" It's fine, I have a lot of them. " Jayden replied, his tone indifferent Xiao just shook her head, and within a few minutes the carriage was cleaned up and even decorated a little, with a satisfied nod both of them stepped into the carriage.
It was quite luxurious and spacious from the inside, the seats were soft and very comfortable, enough for around five people.
" It's my first time travelling in something like this. " Xiao said, observing the carriage carefully.
There was a small crystal in one corner of the wall inside, touching it Jayden sent some of his Qi into it, he immediately felt some kind of mental connection forming with the carriage, he could see everything around it within a range of 50 meters, and with just a thought he was even able to fully control it.
' Not bad. ' Jayden thought, he sat on one of the seats and felt very comfortable.
Then he pulled the curtains down, and in his mind ordered the carriage to move, he was already aware of the destination they were going to.
Just as the carriage began to move, Xiao almost fell forward since she was still looking around and hadn't taken her seat, Jayden held her waist and pulled her to sit on his lap.
" Thanks for catching me, husband. " Xiao spoke, she relaxed her body in his arms and rested her head on his shoulder.
" So where is my reward? " Jayden said with a mischievous smile, she looked around and after seeing all the curtains were down, she leaned towards his face and pressed her soft lips against his.
The carriage wasn't moving too fast, and they barely felt any movement inside it after a while Xiao pulled her face away, she was blushing a little.
" That wasn't enough. " Jayden complained making her giggle.
Qiang who was looking at the carriage from outside couldn't see or hear anything from inside but he was barely able to see the shadows of two people inside, his blood boiled when he saw Xiao sitting close to Jayden and then bringing her face closer to his.
' A- Are they really doing that inside? ' he thought, Qiang wanted to go and pull Jayden out of that carriage and torture him, but just as he was about to follow the carriage, some burly men came towards him.
" Are you Qiang? " The man leading the group asked.
With a confused look on his face, Qiang replied: " Yes I am, do I know you? " While speaking he kept looking at the carriage that was slowly going further away from him.
' I need to follow them. ' he thought and was about to run towards it, but a strong hand on his shoulder rendered him immobile.
" You can't go anywhere until I tell you to. " The burly man shouted, he was clearly stronger than Qiang more so since he was still injured.
" Ughh I don't even know you, why are you stopping me? " Qiang asked, his face distorted in pain when the burly man applied some force in his grip.
" Of course, you don't know me, if you knew you wouldn't have dared to touch my sister, how dare a lowly bastard like you do something like that to my fragile sister? " The burly man shouted, veins were bulging in his arms, and Qiang's shoulder was almost broken.
" Ahhhhh w- which sister a- are you talking a- about? I haven't d- done ughh anything w- wrong. " Qiang spoke in between his pain filled groans.
" Hahahahahah " All the men standing behind the burly man began to laugh as if they just heard a joke, and then the burly man pulled Qiang close and spoke in an angry tone:
" You say that, but I am sure if you hear the name of my sister you will understand just what wrong you have done. "
" Haa haa At least t- tell me who i- it is? Ughhhh " Qiang aske, he was about to faint because of the pain.
" Her name is... " The man paused for a moment then he spoke near Qiang's ear:
" Chunhua, you remember her right, she hasn't been herself after coming from that party, after I found out what you have done to her, I decided that I am going to kill you. "
The burly man said and began to pull a confused Qiang along with him, Qiang clearly remembered that Chunhua is no fragile girl, she was in reality a he, so he couldn't understand why this man was claiming Chunhua is his sister and even trying to kill him.
" W- Wait, I haven't done anything to her- to him, a- also I- I am the grandson of the third elder, I- if you dare to do anything to me, then ahhhhh "
His words fell on deaf ears, after pulling Qiang into one of the empty alleys the burly man threw him away and ordered all of his men to beat him up, then cries filled with pain resounded in the alley constantly for the next dozen minutes.
