Chapter 38:

In the few hours that Xiao Xing er and Ying Hong was talking there were no wild beast that come to their place but they also occasionally heard a roar of the "It is almost morning but you still need to rext Sister Xing er... Let's go wake that cousin of your to make him guard while we rest haha" Ying Hong said with a giggled before standing up.

"Hmmm, Let's go" Xiao Xing er nod her head before she also stand up and the two walk towards the tent where Xiao Ren rest to wake him up.

After a while Xiao Ren woke up and was shocked when he saw that Xiao Xing er and Ying Hong get this closed in a few hours that he was resting and shook his head as he can't understand what happened that made the two this closed but he was also happy for the two of them especially Xiao Xing er as this was the first time he saw her get closed to other girl in their age aside from Xiao Xi.

"Alright you two should rest now, I will guard till morning" Xiao Ren said with a smile and got out from the tent to guard.

After Xiao Ren got out from the tent, He didn't sat but started to train himself as he wanted to know how much his strength increased after he breakthrough to Martial Apprentice, and because Xiao Ren was training and even though he limit the noise he made to not wake up the others some wild beast that just moved by instinct managed to hear it and come towards Xiao Ren looked at the three mid level wild beast that were going towards him "looks like I attracted some punching bag to measure my strength" Xiao Ren said before he readied himself to fight three wild beast "since I want to measure my strength I won't use my sword as I wouldn't be able to know it, If I kill this beast in one move each" after saying this Xiao Ren came to the wild beast as he know that when he started fight it, it will make some noise and he doesn't want to wake them up especially Xiao Xing er and Ying Hong who just started to restart.

Thinking like this, Xiao Ren used his tempest lightning movement technique and appeared above the beast who was the closest to him, "RAGING TIGER FIST!!!" Xiao Ren clenched his fist and punch towards the wild beast head using his First Martial Technique that he learned.

'BOOM!'

"!!!" Xiao Ren was surprised that in just one punch he killed a mid level wild beast and turned it into a mincemeat.

When Xiao Ren landed in the ground he stared at his hand, when the two other beast roared in anger and jumped towards him "huuu, Let's try without using my Martial Technique" Xiao Ren said after he dodge and began to attack the wild beast. After a few minutes Xiao Ren killed the two mid level wild beast "haaa, the beast body was really troublesome if it were a human body temperin in 6th layer I can defeat it in just 2 or 4 moves without using martial technique" Xiao Ren said and come back to where the tent is and see Xiao Xing er and Ying Hong was standing outside.

"ahh why are you two not resting?" Xiao Ren asked with a forced smipe on his face.

"Tell me? How can we sleep when you made a huge noise when fighting a beast" Xiao Xing er said while looking at Xiao Ren.

"Ahh" Xiao Ren think about it and remember that when he first killed the wild beast when he used his Martial Technique it created a huge noise when the wild beast collided to the tree turning it into mincemeat "hehehe sorry about that" Xiao Ren said with an awkward laugh while scratching the back of his head.

"well we can't rest anymore ut was already morning" Ying Hong said and looked at the sky and saw the sun starting to rise. "Sister Xing er, Xiao Ren... I need to go now I still have something to do" Ying Hong said and looked at the two of them.

Xiao Ren and Xiao Xing er was startled after hearing her words "Sister Ying you already need to leave?" Xiao Xing er asked and from her words it seems she knows that Ying Hong needs to go.

...

"Sister Xing er you knoe I'm happy that I know you and Xiao Ren... But I have something to do so I need to leave tomorrow" Ying Hong said as they looked at the dark sky.

"Ahh you are leaving?" Xiao Xing er said as she looked towards her.

"Hmmm, well It's not like we won't meet again so don't be sad... you know You and Xiao Ren were really a genius so if you continued to get stronger I'm sure we will meet again" Ying Hong looked at Xiao Xing er before she replied with a smile.

Xiao Xing er nod her head and decided to train more harder to catch up to Xiao Ren and Ying Hong.

...

"Hmmm, and I also need to go back home as I only have a month to left my clan and I only have 10 days left before I go back home or my parents will be worried" Ying Hong said before two bottles with ten pills in each bottle appeared in her hand "this pill us for you two take it, get more stronger okay? hehe good bye" Ying Hong said with a smile and she leave without waiting for Xiao Ren and Xiao Xing er's reply.

Xiao Xing er only reacted when Ying Hong's silhouette can't be seen "Haaa, she already left I will miss her" Xiao Xing er said before she looked at the bottle that Ying Hong gave them.

"this pill was rank 4 or higher as it have more energy than the Rank 3 pill that I consume, she must be from a huge clan... and it was more stronger than our Xiao Clan" Xiao Ren said as he take out 1 pill from the bottle.

Xiao Xing er heard his voice and looked at him and suddenly heard him laugh "as I thought haha. I'm not really sure at first but seeing this and her strength I'm now sure where she came from" Xiao Ren said with a smile and keep the bottle.

"huh? What do you know? You know what Clan Ying Hong came from?" Xiao Xing er asked him as she also want to know where Ying Hong came.

Xiao Ren smiled and looked at Xiao Xing er before he said "well Sister Xing er when she save me and saw her strength I know she doesn't have a simple background so when I heard her name Ying Hong, I tried to search in my memory about a Ying Clan but I can't find a Ying Clan in this Crimson Sky Kingdom that can nurture a 16 years old martial apprentice and she was not a low layer martial apprentice... So I guess that her name was not her real name but I think she is good so I didn't really care if she fake her name"

After listening to Xiao Ren's explanation Xiao Xing er also thought about it and agreed with Xiao Ren "you said that you know the clan where she came so what is her clan?" Xiao Xing er asked.

"she gave a clue about her clan and there will be no younger generation people that will have this much pill on herself and can gift it to someone she just met except from that clan right?" Xiao Ren said with smile.

Xiao Xing er thought about Xiao Ren's words and when she realised Xiao Ren's words her eyes turned wide open and said "she is from the Royal Hong Clan?"

Xiao Ren smile and nod "yeah that's what I thought... I'm not really sure but I think she came from that clan, the clan that control this Crimson Sky Kingdom the Hong Clan... That's why I think now when she fake her name it was normal as if I'm in her place I would also change it as I can be targeted because of status" after saying this Xiao Ren turned around and walk towards the tent before he stopped and said "Sister Xing er I think we should keep it a secret from the others that Ying Hong was from the Royal Clan"

"Hmmm, I know" Xiao Xing er nod her head as she also think that Ying Hong wants hide her identity.
