Chapter 31 The Desert
Author: Scarvin French Fries
The yellow sand is everywhere, the wind is whistling, and a town is faintly visible in the desert sand. The yellow sand is like the sea, and the vast sand dunes surround the town, as if they want to completely swallow it. The dilapidated houses are barely standing in the yellow sand, and the broken roofs are covered with sand, as if they are quietly waiting for the exhausted old man. Several shriveled dead trees outside the village reflect the mottled shadows on the golden sand dunes. These trees seem to be prodigal sons who have been smoothed by the wind and sand, silent here and there is no longer the same.
In the wind and sand, two figures were faintly walking towards the horse.
The woman covering her face asked, "Don't you feel regretful?"
The man walked in front and did not look back: "What impact does it have if you don't regret it later?"
The two walked into the town, and a few ragged passers-by looked at them, but walked away on their own.
"Don't you feel regretful to be forced to such a desolate place for someone who has only met once?" the woman asked again.
The man said, "Do you have to regret it just because there is no bustling noise?"
The woman had to shake her head and said, "But it's useless to say anything now. You and I are already wanted criminals in the world."
Not long ago, a sensational event occurred in the martial arts world of the Central Plains. In order to shelter the murderer, Xie Chen, a miracle doctor who was the best in medicine, openly injured Zhao Tiefeng, the six door gods.
Although the incident was somewhat controversial, just like some people thought that killing evil people was a natural thing to take revenge, and Xie Chen was chivalrous in doing this, but Xie Chen finally became the head of the court, so he was naturally wanted.
However, there seems to be vague rumors that Xie Chen's actions were just because the murderer was beautiful.
Just like Chen Xueer, who was in the desert at this time, couldn't understand why Xie Chen would rather leave everything behind to help him.
Is it really someone who would rather abandon everything to help someone he didn’t know just because he thought revenge was natural?
Even though many rumors sound a bit vulgar, even Chen Xueer herself couldn't figure out why Xie Chen would help him if it weren't for that.
However, when the two fled from the Central Plains to the Western Regions, Xie Chen never showed any intention, and even had almost no real communication. Along the way, they were just two strangers who fled together.
Chen Xueer was wondering while replenishing drinking water in the broken well full of sand in the town.
Soon, Xie Chen came back.
He just glanced at the refilled water bag and said, "Okay, keep going."
Along the way, Chen Xueer knew that she would not have any answers to ask anything else, so she just said, "Have you found out about the way to Tianshan?"
Xie Chen just nodded.
Chen Xueer asked again: "Will the Tianshan Sect really take us in?"
Xie Chen glanced at her and said, "It should."
Chen Xueer asked again: "Since you know people from the Tianshan Sect, why do you still have to ask for directions along the way?"
Xie Chen did not answer.
Chen Xueer had no choice but to say: "I am just curious to take this road that no one has ever walked to Tianshan?"
Xie Chen finally spoke: "You really can't understand?"
Chen Xueer hesitated and said, "Can the people from the Six Gates chase after them to the Western Regions?"
Xie Chen said disdainfully: "How could Zhao Tiefeng let me go? If he didn't take this remote road, would he be waiting to be captured and returned to the Central Plains?"
Chen Xueer finally kept silent.
The two of them did not stay in the town for too long, but just replenished some dry food and drinking water and set off again.
"Can you tell me about the Tianshan Sect?" Chen Xueer couldn't help but ask, "I heard that they are not easy to mess with?"
Unexpectedly, Xie Chen actually replied: "When you arrive at the snow mountain, you'd better not talk too much."
Chen Xueer didn't understand why.
Xie Chen said: "There are not many rules in the Tianshan Sect, but there are many secrets. If you mess with something, I will not save you again."
Chen Xueer was stunned and said for a while: "Why does it sound a bit evil?"
Xie Chen said: "Although the Tianshan Sect is not an evil demon sect, it is far away from the Western Regions. It is different from the Central Plains Sect. It always acts a bit fiercely. In their eyes, your abilities are just sparse and ordinary, and I am afraid there will be no good looks at that time."
Chen Xueer thoughtfully said, "What do you mean is they will look down on me?"
Xie Chen nodded.
Chen Xueer said: "It's nothing as long as you don't deliberately make things difficult."
Xie Chen laughed after hearing this.
Chen Xueer was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?"
Xie Chen said: "Doesn't make things difficult? What do you think you are?"
Before Chen Xueer could speak, Xie Chen said, "Even if he deliberately makes things difficult, he must be the ones like Shang Xue'e, the Dinghai Emei, in Shaolin, Dinghai, and Emei, who are qualified."
Chen Xueer said in a daze: "Isn't that the most outstanding person under the two sects?"
Xie Chen said: "What do you think? The Tianshan School claims to be better than the Central Plains martial arts world, and the Wudang Shaolin is just Er'er. Do you think they will look down on you as yours?"
Chen Xueer couldn't help but say, "Isn't this too arrogant? Could it be that the Central Plains martial arts world is so unbearable?"
Xie Chen said nothing.
Chen Xueer argued again: "What about you? If the Tianshan Sect were all such arrogant people, why would they help you?"
Xie Chen underestimated: "Because they are incapable of looking down on me."
Chen Xueer said angrily: "Listen to you, may you be even more powerful than Shaolin in Wudang?"
Xie Chen said: "Of course, I can't compare to Wudang Shaolin in terms of martial arts, but the only thing that people can appreciate in the world is not only martial arts.
Chen Xueer was silent for a while before speaking: "Your medical skills are really as powerful as the legendary one?"
Xie Chen ignored her.
Chen Xueer finally couldn't help but say, "You are so strange. You obviously saved me, but you didn't speak along the way. What are you thinking?"
Xie Chen finally stopped and looked at her and said, "Actually, I didn't save you."
Chen Xueer became increasingly puzzled.
Xie Chen said, "Since you must ask, I will tell you the truth, which is exactly the opposite of what you see. It is not that you caused me to fall to this point, but that I caused you to harm you."
Chen Xueer's face was full of confusion.
Xie Chen said: "If you don't run away with me, even if you are caught back, the court will judge the case, which is just a revenge killing in the world. You will not accidentally hurt the innocent. You will probably only be given a slight reluctance. If you are lucky enough to encounter a general amnesty, you may not be able to bear any physical pain."
"What are you talking nonsense? If it is true as you said, why would you hurt Zhao Tiefeng for me?"
"I never said that I hurt him for you." Xie Chen said calmly.
Chen Xueer argued: "Then why did you hurt him? Just to turn yourself from a miracle doctor that everyone admires in the world into a stray dog who is now in the desert of the Western Regions?"
"Anyway, just don't hate me in the future."
"It's here." Before Chen Xueer could speak, Xie Chen suddenly said.
Chen Xueer said blankly: "What has arrived?"
Xie Chen just went to the distant oasis that could be seen vaguely in the yellow sand in the sky and never answered.
If you have something, I will talk to the professor tomorrow, and there is only one chapter
