Not A Cultivator 124 You Fooled Us All!

Head Guard Cui scolded Feng Zhong Tian. He could not care any less the one he scolded was his own master. It can't be helped because the Clan Lord was just reckless, the fate of the entire Clan was on the line here.

"You too! Qian Hui... How could you accept an invitation by the Clan Lord for a round of practice? But, not only you didn't refuse, you even go along with him. What kind of guard are you? You supposed to persuade the Clan Lord to stay!"

This time Qian Hui got scolded. Unlike to Feng Zhong Tian, Head Guard Cui did not hold back. In fact, as a person who occasionally been scolded this kind of scolding was a bit lacking for him.

"We're sorry..."

The two men could only accept Head Guard Cui's advice. As long as it hides their real purpose, it's better than anything.

Actually, the other guards also want to scold them both as well. They have to come all the way here for nothing. But, Head Guard Cui already did, so they could only nod from behind.

After a round of scolding, Head Guard Cui finally became satisfied. He reminded himself of the most important things, and also about some things that were still yet to be explained.

"So, where's the Second Young Master?"

"!!!"

Feng Zhong Tian and Qian Hui became nervous. To tell the truth, they know, Feng Ao Xiu was hiding in the bushes the time they left. However, they could not just answer truthfully. They need to predict the mind of Head Guard Cui and reply accordingly. A wrong answer could let to a more complicated issue.

"I don't know!" Qian Hui answered.

[Nice answer!] thought Feng Zhong Tian. By feigning ignorance, it won't create any further problem.

"You don't know? Even though all three of you were gone at the same time!"

Of course, Head Guard Cui could not just accept their answer. He's still suspicious of how the two were really trying to run and kill each other. Besides, without Feng Ao Xiu, all their effort would be for nought. He should find Feng Ao Xiu, once and for all.

"We really don't know. My son is an Ancient Earth Realm, and he's too fast. He disappeared before we even know it." said Feng Zhong Tian.

[Good answer!] thought Qian Hui while he nodded. By showing a disparity of level between them and Feng Ao Xiu, they successfully put some distance.

Head Guard Cui sighed. Looks like, he won't be able to get anything from these two.

Anyway, Let's go back to the south gate."

"Ehh... Why?" The two men sound the displease. Yeah, Why do they have to go back? They have run all the way here, if they go back, it will defeat the purpose of running away. The best course of action to do here was to talk their way out and be allowed to run away even further.

Head Guard Cui creased his eyebrow. The way the two men rejected to return to the south gate made them more suspicious. Just when he was about to give up on pursuing their matter, made Head Guard Cui investigated it again.

"But, we're in a predicament. Without the Second Young Master, we're all gonna die. Do you have any idea where he is right now?"

"Sorry, we have no idea where the Second Young Master might be?" said Qian Hui.

"But, Head Guard should relax," said Feng Zhong Tian. "Remember, my son is an Ancient Earth Realm, he surely can defeat Ma Zhong and the others."

Once again, the two men's using the same answer as the previous one. They hope by not knowing where Feng Ao Xiu is, and also by assuring that Feng Ao Xiu will take care of everything, they will be let go by Head Guard Cui.

Head Guard Cui sighed for the second time. "How could you two be so calm? I also believe that the Second Young Master can take care of it. But, the problem is he's gone missing!"

It might seem that the two men have answered it, but in truth, they only evaded the real problem. Head Guard Cui saw right through it and countered.

"It's because we believe in him!"

"That's right! Head Guard should also believe in him!"

For this kind of thing, they answered it abstractly. This way, there would not be any flaw.

Of course, Head Guard Cui would not fall for this answer, but at the same time, he also could not find any opening. He wondered if he should just push through with another attack.

"I see! For you two to believe in the Second Young Master so much, there must be some kind of insurance. Could it be you two know what the Second Young Master is planning?"

"That's right!" The two nodded quickly.

"So, what's his plan?" Head Guard Cui asked.

"The plan is..." Qian Hui could not answer.

"Of course, it is to..." Feng Zhong Tian also could not answer.

[Sh*t! We've been had!]

Yes, the two fall in a trap. They were too focused that by assuring they know Feng Ao Xiu's plan, Head Guard Cui would let them go. They never thought of it as an attack.

"Ummm... It's... It's..."

"You know, it's... That... Right?"

Before, the two could find the answer. Head Guard Cui continued, "If you two know his plan, then you must have a rough idea of where it is right? What kind of plan is it? If it could defeat Ma Zhong while gone missing, it must not be an ordinary plan. Does it have something to do with the fact you two were gone as well?"

The two men's faces became pale as if they were a real ghost.

***

"I'm free!"

Ma Zhong roared. At last, he's out of the barrier.

All the people in the vicinity whether they're allies or enemy did not move and stared at Ma Zhong.

Ma Zhong himself learned from his mistake. He didn't charge through like earlier, afraid he will fall into a trap once again. Instead, he stared at the bushes nearby and shouted, "Feng Ao Xiu, I know you're hiding in there, come out here right now!"

"Huuh! There's no way Feng Ao Xiu would be there!"

"Have your leader hit his head? Why would he think Feng Ao Xiu's hiding?"

Although they were at a disadvantage, the alliance army mocked Ma Zhong.

But, to their surprise, someone comes out from the bushes. It was Feng Ao Xiu.

"Ehh... Feng Ao Xiu's really there!"

"Why would he hide? Why would he hide?"

"It can't be, because he's afraid. Right?"

Ma Zhong smiled. Previously, he was trapped, but it doesn't mean he can't see. While the others were focused on Big Gu, Ma Zhong kept his eye on Feng Ao Xiu. So, he noticed the Second Young Master was hiding in the bushes.

Why would he hide? Ma Zhong has a hypothesis that Feng Ao Xiu was weak despite being an Ancient Earth Realm. That was why Feng Ao Xiu did not participate in the battle earlier. And Feng Ao Xiu's behaviour just confirmed everything. Why else would he hide?

However, Ma Zhong was grateful that he watched Feng Ao Xiu. Otherwise, he would have lost him. It must be Feng Ao Xiu's plan to hide there undetected to create another trap.

Now, that Ma Zhong called him out, he won't fall into a trap anymore.

"Hahaa... It's over for you Feng Ao Xiu! There is no trap! And, I know you're hiding because you're weak!" Ma Zhong laughed loudly.

However, Feng Ao Xiu only stood there without any response.

"What's wrong? Why don't you attack? Could it be you're afraid!? Hahaha... You're actually really weak!" Ma Zhong mocked him.

Feng Ao Xiu finally opened his mouth, "I..."

Suddenly, some people came over. One of them shouted, "There you are, Feng Ao Xiu!!! You bastard!!!"

The one that came was Head Guard Cui along with the other guards. There's also the Clan Lord and the bodyguards, but it looks like they're being held captive.

Yet, the other people were shocked, because Head Guard Cui just called Feng Ao Xiu, "bastard". They could not believe this, did he eat something weird?

Then, the next words that come out of Head Guard Cui's mouth made them even more shock.

"You fooled us all! You're actually not a cultivator!!!"
