Chapter 388: Innocent People Involved_2

Huainanzi regretted not attacking Xiao Qiang, despite his own wounds, as he listened to the analysis of the man in black. He realized that Xiao's casual stroll must have been a bluff to attract attention.

Huainanzi sighed and said, "It's just up ahead in the village."

Xiao Qiang had a good night's sleep in the guest room. He felt much more energetic and his body teemed with newly generated primordial energy. It was about a fifth of what he would carry at his peak, which was not bad at all. The pain from the wound on his shoulder had eased too, which made Xiao quite happy.

When he sat up, he realized his clothing had been changed; these must be Zhao Qing's, he thought, full of gratitude.
