I Really Didn't Want to Become a Sword Saint

Chu You, who transmigrated at a comic convention, only wants to live well in a parallel world where martial arts are practiced.

During the extermination of his clan, he opens the Emiya Shirou...

Chapter 20: Retreat

“It is indeed so!”

Amid the surprised gazes of several people, Song Xinyan seemed to be thinking about something. It was time to show her wit.

"No wonder I felt something was wrong before. Bai Jian's attitude has changed so much. At first, she argued over the ranking on the Earth Ranking, then she gave in, and then she became stubborn again. It seemed like there was nothing wrong, but she was deliberately trying to lead us on and convince us."

At that time, several people had not yet recovered from the attack by Chi Xun, and they were all somewhat exhausted. Suddenly, another master came, so they only thought about being on guard.

Then I suddenly heard that my opponent was only looking for ranking and also didn't want to get involved.

As a result, the tense nerves relaxed and the key point was not seen.

After Song Xinyan's explanation, everyone suddenly understood.

"So Chi Xun is still alive. To be prepared for any unexpected events, our escort mission must wait until Mr. Feng Da is completely taken over by the Mountain City Ghost Clan Headquarters!"

In the communications room, Feng Da not only learned the news, but headquarters also sent a five-member law enforcement team to respond.

Because he is not only an important witness, but also the embodiment of the research results of the ghost clan, whether it is for the human clan or the ghost clan, perhaps this is the reason why Chi Xun took action personally!

After all this talk, the mission continues but the reward is delayed.

Chu You was so depressed. He thought the mission was about to end, but now there was trouble again.

He didn't want to care about Chi Xun's purpose or Feng Da's role, but since it involved the mission, he had to care.

Trouble!

Why are you digging so deep, woman? Isn't it better to just provide a simple escort...

"Hey~ Since Uncle Song had already seen through everything, why didn't he remind me then?" Why did it feel like she did it on purpose?

"Senior Brother Chu is right!"

"If I had reminded you at that time, there wouldn't be such trouble."

As soon as Chu You said this, Shen Wanqing and Wei Feiming immediately came to their senses.

"Master Song was exhausted at the time and probably no longer had the strength to fight. However, with our strength, we couldn't keep Bai Jian Qin Yining, so we had to settle for the next best thing and contact the institute headquarters safely first."

Yes! Before Song Xinyan could speak, Zuo Cheng took the initiative to give a guess and explanation.

But I've told you to maintain a good persona and just be quiet, so why are you so proactive? Look at that woman, she looks relieved, she must be waiting for you to explain.

Chu You was speechless, but in order to play the role well, he couldn't say anything.

Sure enough, Song Xinyan exclaimed as expected:

"Hey~ If you could learn more from Zuo Cheng, observe more, think more, and you wouldn't ask such superficial questions."

You speak as if you are so clever. If it weren't for Zuo Cheng's imagination, you would have been exposed long ago.

Song Xinyan simply ignored someone's self-proclaimed eye-rolling, or rather, provoked them again.

"Actually, I did this not only because it was a bit strenuous at the time, but also because I wanted to test you."

"test?"

The three people in Zuocheng were confused at the same time, and even Feng Da became concerned.

"Hmph~ You little brat, you still want to set the tone in front of me." It was indeed a provocation. Song Xinyan gave Chu You a look that said you know what I mean.

But in order to maintain his persona... well! This persona would have collapsed in front of her long ago, but Chu You, who was used to hiding himself, would not admit it unless it was exposed to her face... even if it was exposed to her face, he would not admit it.

So he continued to hide, with an exaggerated expression: "Test? What test?"

...You're getting excited, aren't you?

"Hmph~"

The inexplicable cold snort confused everyone. What happened to her?

Before anyone could ask, Song Xinyan knew she had lost her composure. It was all this guy's fault, so she awkwardly continued the test.

"Tell me if you encounter Chi Xun again, will you still be as lucky as today and escape unscathed?"

Indeed, if they encountered it again, they probably wouldn't even be qualified to deliver food, but this was an accident...

"I know what you're thinking. You're just talking about accidents. Otherwise, why would you accept an A-level mission? But I want you to know that this is how the world is. Nothing can go smoothly. Accidents happen all the time, so you need to be more cautious at all times."

Hmm! This woman is pretty normal when she's online!

"But under such pressure, you have also grown. Zuo Cheng and Fei Ming have even been promoted to the Huawu realm because of this. Therefore, combat is the best environment for growth."

Okay! Take back what you said just now. This woman is not a worry-free person.

Chu You had a headache again because he knew that trouble was coming.

"You have just been promoted to the Martial Arts Realm, your abilities are not yet mature, and your martial arts skills are not yet mastered. When fighting against others, you can only rely on your own martial arts attributes.

"It's a good opportunity to take advantage of this time to practice in seclusion and get used to the fighting style of the Huawu Realm. Whether Chi Xun attacks or the law enforcement team arrives first, it will be valuable experience for you."

Although she said it lightly, Chu You inexplicably felt that she was expecting Chi Xun to attack.

But then he remembered that this was Longxian Town, the safest town outside the mountain city. Even if Chi Xun was so powerful, he wouldn't dare to be so arrogant as to attack the town!

So I just let her make a fuss.

"Seeing that you all have no objections, let's go back to our residence and start our retreat. It will probably take just the next two days." Seeing that everyone had no objections, Song Xinyan took the lead and went back to the hotel where they were staying, and took Shen Wanqing with her.

"I'll help Wanqing comprehend the martial arts first. As for Chu You..." He deliberately turned around and glanced:

"I haven't reached that level yet. Even with the help of ghost energy, it's useless. So I'll trouble you to protect me for the next two days!"

A hotel in a corner of Longshan Town.

This is a resting place for travelers traveling in and out of the mountain city, and naturally it has also become the accommodation for Feng Da and other law enforcement teams.
