Volume 2: Flying Universe Squad Chapter 169: Leaked Chapter 20: Intentional Act

  In his hand, the Xuan Tie sword transformed into a black flash of light, stabbing towards the three dead spirit apes. The sword moved with his body, and his body moved with his will, the sword and body merged as one. In an instant, the three dead spirits had their heads eliminated by Guo Fei.

  "Great swordsmanship! Thank you, senior, for saving my life... It's you!" Zhao Ba walked over to give Guo Fei a salute, and suddenly recognized Guo Fei, the next words got stuck in his throat.

  Guo Fei didn't listen to his words, at this moment, he fell into deep thought. Just a moment ago, it seemed that he and the Xuan Tie sword had merged into one. He was the sword, and the sword was him. Man and sword were in perfect harmony, Guo Fei felt like he had grasped something, but it was still somewhat vague.

  "Which infantry regiment are you from, so unruly? Why didn't you salute the commander when you saw him!" The two guards beside Zhao Ba looked at Guo Fei and recognized his uniform. They immediately changed their tone to curry favor with Zhao Ba and sternly shouted at Guo Fei.

  "Bully people with power! If you lower your head, you'll become their plaything." Guo Fei was taken aback, understanding the tricks of these people. For a period of time, he had also bullied younger students in school to make trouble for his own father, and now looking at him, he felt a bit familiar, so he smiled.

  Several people were all battered and bruised, panting. Zhao Xue was so exhausted that she leaned against a withered tree, almost about to collapse to the ground. The buttons on her blue long gown outside had been torn off, revealing half of her chest, like condensed fat, but with bloodstains dotted on top, looking exceptionally beautiful.

  "Gentlemen, I'm really sorry, I've just enlisted and only know my squad leader, and I only follow his orders. As for you gentlemen, I don't recognize any of you!" Guo Fei said with a cold smile.

  "You!" Zhao Ba's face sank, and he was about to erupt.

  "Brother, don't be rash. Little brother saved us, we can't be so rude!" Zhao Xue panted and waved her hand. Zhao Xue glanced at Guo Fei's eyes and said softly.

  "Little brother, I didn't expect you to join our army camp. Thanks a lot today!" Zhao Xue didn't put on any airs as the young master of his estate, and he naturally recognized Guo Fei too. He smiled at Guo Fei, and his dry, cracked lips oozed out threads of blood.

  "This girl is not the type who has long hair but short sight, she didn't put on the airs of a rich and noble lady, she's not simple!" Guo Fei took a glance at her, based on her current flexible and adaptable attitude, as well as her gentle and elegant demeanor in this situation, Guo Fei looked at her with new eyes.

  A surge of "I see you as especially lovely" affection rose in his heart for her!

  "You blind fool, learn from our young mistress and understand the current situation." Guo Fei coldly rebuked Zhao Ba and others, then turned to Zhao Xue with a smile: "Thank you for saving my life that day, please have some!"

  Guo Fei said, taking out a water bag from his waist and handing it to Zhao Xue.

  "Thank you!" Zhao Xue's eyes suddenly welled up with an unbearable hunger.

  Guo Fei is no longer an inexperienced child, how could he not know their situation.

  They, the nobles, came out to fight with a completely playful attitude, and by the way, they got some soul crystals. If it weren't for the defeat of the ghost tribe's soldiers, they would never show up. Guo Fei was too familiar with these "second-generation officials". When the situation was critical, they hid, but when they saw the opportunity to gain merit and benefits, they rushed forward. They didn't bring any food or water, relying on their personal guards for protection. The personal guards were scattered, and it's estimated that they had been starving for two days already.

  "Gulp!" Zhao Xue took two big swigs, and several people beside her swallowed hard, staring at her with wide eyes.

  "Here, little brother!" Zhao Xue finished and handed it over to Zhao Ba.

  Guo Fei handed it over and said: "The princess can drink, others are not allowed to drink, I only have so much left, not enough!"

  "What a beautiful lip print!" Guo Fei, in his previous life, was a well-behaved student before middle school. After his parents divorced, he spent some time wandering around with society, untamed, and ended up here, where his life fell into difficulties. He had reined in a lot, but now another side of him emerged. He leaned in to take a sip from the edge of the cup, savoring the taste, with an expression that seemed to say he wasn't satisfied yet.

  Zhao Xue's face suddenly turned red, and a faint, imperceptible light flashed in her eyes.

  "You!" Zhao Ba's eyes flashed with cold light, his hand grasped the hilt of his sword. A slave dared to speak to the princess of Blackstone County like that, a crime punishable by dismemberment.

  Guo Fei knew that Zhao Ba and his ilk, these "second-generation officials", if you are "soft" on them, fawn on them and try to curry favor with them, they will not take you seriously, they will become even more arrogant and bullying, taking advantage of the weak is their usual pleasure. Therefore, Guo Fei had long concluded that these people were worthless, you have to fight back or they won't respect you.

  "You dare to move! Today I'll take your life, avenging the kick from that day!" Guo Fei's eyes turned cold, his mouth didn't say a word, but his palm lightly stroked the hilt of the Xuan Tie sword stuck in the ground. The dull body of the Xuan Tie sword flashed, emitting a faint weak light, and let out a barely audible soft hum, as if the wind was blowing through leaves.

  "Sword Intent Awakens!" Zhao Xue's eyes flashed as she gazed at the Xuan Iron Sword, her expression turning contemplative.

  "Little brother, my younger brother doesn't understand things, don't blame him. Zhao Ba, aren't you going to apologize to little brother?" Zhao Xue hastily stopped him.

  At present, Guo Fei is in his prime physical condition. The four of them had not drunk a drop of water for two days and were already exhausted from escaping the siege of the undead. Currently, they are no match for Guo Fei. To escape, it's likely that they will have to rely on Guo Fei to get out of the setting sun desert.

  Zhao Ba's face suddenly changed from white to red, and then turned purple. Finally, he lightly clenched his fists towards Guo Fei, but his eyes became even colder.

  "Haha! If your eyes could kill, I'd be dead and buried long ago! Your grand gift is more than this young master can handle!" Guo Fei sneered.

  "You!" Zhao Ba's face changed color again. His body trembled, almost falling over! When had he ever suffered such humiliation? In a society with strict hierarchy, a slave soldier dared to call him "young master". This was a great shame, but at this moment, he did not dare to resist.

  "You won't die from it!" Guo Fei secretly rejoiced in his heart.

  "Little brother, they haven't had a drop of water for two days. It's extremely dangerous here. They've recovered their strength and will be your helpers too. Otherwise, we might not even make it out of here! Please help us out. As long as we can get back to Blackstone County, I'll personally ask Father to reward you." Zhao Xue said softly.

  "Since the princess says so, I naturally obey!" Guo Fei took out a water bag and continued: "The princess has saved my life, I can offer it to her for free. As for others, no emotions or favors, ten soul crystals per mouthful of water, no credit or debt!"

  "Hehe, should be!" Zhao Xue hastily mediated, seeing that Zhao Ba's face was not looking good.

  Two guards looked at the county master and spoke, without hesitation, took out a bag of soul crystals and handed it to Guo Fei with respect. Guo Fei opened it carefully and checked it thoroughly, with a miserly expression, eighty pieces in total, before carefully putting them away and storing them in his own waist pack, handing the water bag back to this guard.

  "Don't laugh at me, milord. I'm poor! I left my hometown and risked my life just for this little soul crystal. If not, who would come to this godforsaken place? Alas, my parents are bedridden with illness back home, and we can't afford medicine. Last time, I came here to collect some soul crystals to take back to treat their illnesses, but I was told they're valuable here. Who knew I'd become a prisoner of the skeleton soldiers? Luckily, I was rescued by milord."

  But entering the barracks, without distinguishing between good and bad, I was beaten into a slave soldier camp, from a civilian to a slave soldier. The barracks were short of hands, and they pulled me onto the battlefield. I don't know how my parents are doing at home, alas! Guo Fei looked at Zhao Xue, imitating Jin Da Tong's hometown accent, let out a long sigh, introducing his own life story without leaving any marks, with a sad tone, as if he wanted to squeeze out a few tears, but not a single drop came out for half the day.

  "Oh, I was in a hurry that day and didn't expect these subordinates to treat my little brother like this. I won't forgive them when I get back. Where are you from? And where are your parents now?" Zhao Xue asked with a pause.

  "His parents are in the upper boundary of Weiguo, Heiniu Village." Guo Fei didn't know any place in this world, but he knew Jin Datong's hometown. Earlier, he told Jin Datong and others that he was a person from Zhao State, but even if they went to investigate, it could be said that he lied at the time. Moreover, who would go to investigate? It was just Guo Fei's cautious personality that made his origin story complete, so as not to leave any future troubles.

  Because Guo Fei knew that anyone who was awarded a military rank had to be reviewed. Guo Fei was not interested in being an official, but after being awarded a military rank, he could go to Wang City for training, and Guo Fei was very interested in learning the martial skills of this world. To know oneself and others can win every battle without danger, and to know how strong one's abilities are, one must compare with this world. By relying on his own efforts, it was possible to obtain a military rank by taking advantage of the connection with County Master Zhao Xue.

  "All women are the same, with strong vanity and sympathy." Guo Fei looked at Zhao Xue's eyes and knew that his plan had succeeded.

  Guo Fei spoke ill of others, but only showed a smiling face to Zhao Xue, providing her with food and drink, making her feel dignified. Moreover, Guo Fei's tears evoked the woman's sympathy, instantly narrowing the distance between them.

  "The kingdom of Wei is tens of thousands of miles away from us, bordering our country to the southwest. We are allies! Some officers in the kingdom also come from Wei. If you're willing, you can also come to our Zhao Kingdom as an official." Zhao Xue smiled and said, her face showing a moved expression, but Guo Fei couldn't tell if she was being sincere or not.
