Chapter 36 - Young Lady from the Capital

With his powerful spiritual sense, he saw the scene.

There, just a few distance away from his fishing spot, at the edge of the forest, a girl was being kidnapped by some thugs.

Huh...

'Why do this kind of things always happen on my way.' Ren Wei blamed himself for being to unlucky, that he has to always witness the dark side of this world.

However, he never failed to deliver the help to those people in need. That didn't mean that he always intervene to everything. Just only to the innocents.

"Well, you are in luck, young lady." Ren Wei pulled up his fishing rod and disappeared from his spot. His horse was still there, like he didn't care that Ren Wei disappeared at all.

On the other side, two burly men tied up the young girl. And from the looks of it, the girl looked to be about 18 or 19. And also judging from the fair and smooth skin, she was probably a young lady of a rich household who was shielded from the horse wind of the world.

After tying up the girl and sealed her mouth, the two burly men put her into a sac, big enough to fit her.

"Haha, now we have successfully completed our mission. Our young master will be please and reward us right?" One of them said to the other.

"True." The other nodded. Then, both of them looked at eachother and laughed out loudly.

"Hahahahaha...."

They were so distracted that they didn't realize someone had suddenly appeared behind them.

Ahem...

Ren Wei coughed to let them know he was also there with them.

Instinctively, the two burly men turned around quickly. And the one, who was not carrying the sac, even punched towards Ren Wei's face.

But, with his meager power of Acquired Qi Realm, it was like an ant biting to Ren Wei.

Ren Wei casually blocked his punch with just his index finger.

[Author's note: For those who don't know which one is the index finger, it is the one you point at people. This one ☝]

'Why do I always meet blocked head people everywhere I go?' At this point, Ren Wei started doubting whether everyone is this world is like that.

'Well, it might true. Since people here are cultivation for power, maybe they forgot to upgrade their brain power.' Thinking that to himself, he felt a bit pity for them.

On the other hand, the burly man whose punch was stopped with just the index finger, was shocked.

Only at that moment, he realized the man in front him must be someone powerful. Like way powerful than them. It also explained why they didn't even felt his presence when he appeared behind them.

Retracting his fist, he slowly backed away, his eyes showed fear, his throat was dry.

The other was puzzled, seeing his companions action. Even though, he too was shocked when he saw the man stopping his companions punch with just the index finger, he thought his companion must have punched lightly, not using his whole power.

Angrily, he shouted. "What are you doing?"

Instead of responding, the man who was slowly backing away, suddenly turned around and ran away.

Ren Wei didn't try to stop him or anything. He was a hero who goes around punishing people in the name of justice.

The companion's action surprised the burly man who was carrying the sac. He was speechless when he saw him running away. Only then did he realized maybe, he really did used his full force.

Gulp...

He swallowed and carefully put down the sac containing the young girl.

"Hehe, sir, we were just kidding."

He too, quickly turned around and ran away.

'Huh. Looks like they still have some brain left in their head.'

Ren Wei looked at their direction and took a breath. If he wanted, he could have killed them, but he knew killing them wasn't going to stop anything. They were just following order. And he all had his reason for doing that.

With a snapped, the sac turned into dust and the young girl was released from the strain.

The young girl stood in a dazed. She didn't know what exactly happened, but she could tell that the man standing in front of her was the one who saved her from those thugs. And from whar she heard, he did it so effortlessly.

She hurriedly bowed and thanked her savior. "Thank you sir, for saving me."

"Don't worry about it." Ren Wei waved his hand casually.

Now, his work was done, he decided to head back and continue fishing.

Seeing her savior was about to leave, the young girl quickly spoke up. "Sir please wait for a moment."

"Huh. What is it. Do you need something?" Ren Wei turned around and asked. It was already enough that he helped her, what more does she need.

"C-can you please send me home." Fearing that Ren Wei would reject her request, she quickly added. "You don't need to do it for free. I will reward you handsomely."

Ren Wei stopped himself from speaking. Not because he heard of the reward. Because, from the way the girl was speaking, he quickly determined he was right. She was exactly a young lady from a prominent household.

Sighing, Ren Wei said. "Follow me." Then, he turned around and walked back to his spot.

Seeing him walking back to the forest, the girl hurriedly said. "Sir, thats not the way."

"I need to do something first. If you don't want to just stay there." Ren Wei didn't stop walking as he replied.

The girl hesitated for a moment. But when she thought back of the incident that she was almost kidnapped, she ultimately decided to follow him.

Well, he was the one who saved her. So, he wouldn't do anything to her. Right?

"Please wait up." She hurriedly ran towards the direction where her savior left.

After catching up with Ren Wei, she started talking nonstop.

"May I know your name, sir?" She asked the first question.

"Ren Wei." Without thinking much, Ren Wei answered.

Then, came the second. "Sir Wei, why did you spare those evil people?"

Ren Wei didn't reply.

Seeing that maybe her savior doesn't want to talk anymore, she also stopped talking. As a young lady from a prominent household, she knew what to do.

After walking for a while, they arrived back at the spot where Ren Wei was fishing.

As soon as they walked out of the forest, she saw the mesmerizing sight of the Moon Spirit Horse standing at the edge fo the small river bank with a proud demeanor.

With a dazzled eyes, she let out a surprising sound. "Wowww....."

She had never seen any horse that was as beautiful as the Moon Spirit Horse.

As she stood there, Ren Wei was back at his seat and was already fishing.

Then, she also snapped back to reality. With a curious eyes, she slowly approached the area where the blue horse was standing.

However, as soon as she was about 2 meters away from the horse, she felt threatening pressure of the horse. So, she slowly backed away.

Instead, she approached the spot where Ren Wei was sitting.

She also sat down and asked. "Sir, is that your horse?"

"Umm." Ren Wei nodded as he focused on catching the last fish of the day.

"Ohh.... So, what kind of breed is that? So beautiful." She asked as she looked back at horse.

"Moon Spirit Horse." He said.

"Moon Spirit Horse..!? What kind of breed is that? I have never heard of it." She was confused when she heard what kind of breed what the horse is.

"The rare kind." Ren Wei replied.

'Tsk.. showoff.' She scoffed inwardly and continued looking back.

Then, she heard Ren Wei speaking. "Now, tell me where is your home. I am busy. So, it better be not too far from here."

"Home?" She came back to her senses when she heard him asking her home. She followed him because he agreed to send her home.

However, when she heard him saying that he wouldn't send her home if it is too far.

'But the capital city is too far away from here.'

With uncertainty, she said. "How about the capital city?"

"Capital city?" Ren Wei was surprised when he heard that.

He asked puzzledly. "Then, how come you are here? It doesn't look like you were kidnapped from the capital, right?"

"That...." She hesitated to speak about it. And when Ren Wei looked at her, he realized she was ashamed of about it.

Almost as embarrassed to talk about something happened.

After some time, she eventually told him the reason.

It turned out that she was not allow to leave her home. So, she sneaked out when no one was paying attention. Running away from.

And like that, she completely lost her way wandering from place to place before eventually arriving at the nearest city.

However, her luck ran out when she met some young master of that city who fell for her beauty. And he ordered his servant to catch her.

'A young lady from the capital city running away from home. And no one followed her?' Ren Wei felt it was a bit too fake.

There was no way that those people from capital city would let their young lady leave home without gaurd. And the thing about sneaking was even more absurd. How could those powerful people not know that.

But, when he scanned the whole area using his hundred miles spiritual sense, he found nothing.

'Maybe what she said is true?' He thought.

Then, he suddenly found out something bizarre. When he spread out his spiritual sense, he could not detect her presence. But he saw she was still sitting beside him.

Now, he realized the reason why no one followed her.

But also, there was no way her family would not know that. So, there must be something that could protect her at any critical moment.

With a bit focus, he found out the thing.

It was the necklace on her neck.

When he probed it, he found it was something from a Divine Domain Realm expert. A high level one at that.

And there was only one high grade Divine Domain Realm expert in the whole Red Lion Kingdom. The royal Qin Family.
