"Well.. When is this all over? Don't they get tired, keep looking for me?" Said Feng Ying. Now he's 20 years old. He still used another face, not the real face at the moment.
Feng Ying, Wang Chen and Wang Feng were in a forest heading towards the city. Beside the road they were walking on, there was a clear river flowing in opposite direction to the direction Feng Ying was walking. The three had already returned to the eastern continent one month ago.
"Hehe, how could they possibly give up? You think they'll just shut up when they find out if a family they destroyed returns? They will definitely think if the family comes back because they want revenge. So they'll kill him first, before he kills them." Said Wang Chen casually.
"You can be that relaxed, 'cause you're not on that wanted poster. You're still free!" Said Feng Ying in annoyance. "You're so good to be able to roam around freely, even though you're the one helping this fugitive. You should be on the poster, too." He grunts.
"Hehe, why? You envy me?" Wang Chen smiled mockingly.
Feng Ying snorted, "Hmph! Not at all."
After the conversation, no one started the conversation. Both are equally silent and do not know what to say. Since no one spoke, Feng Ying finally started the conversation again so that there would be no silence between the two. "Aren't you going back with your teacher? He may have heard the news about me and may be worried about you. Maybe he thought, if you're with me, then you'll be targeted by people."
Wang Chen was silent for a while. What Feng Ying said was true. His teacher must have been very worried about him. After all, his teacher knew that if he went with Feng Ying and his teacher would know the news spread about the young man.
Not getting any response from Wang Chen, Feng Ying immediately patted his shoulder and made Wang Chen surprised. The young man immediately turned his head towards Feng Ying reflexively. "What?" Said Wang Chen.
"You're daydreaming." Said Feng Ying briefly.
"..You think about what I said?" Continue Feng Ying.
Wang Chen shook his head, "No. Who is thinking about your words? There are so many other things I can think about, why should I think about what you said?"
"You're not very good at lying." Said Feng Ying. He shook his head, "If you go back to him, then he will definitely not give you permission to go with me again. He probably won't tell anyone about my whereabouts. But about permission to come with me? He's not gonna do that."
Wang Chen was silent for a moment. He also gave a brief nod as a sign of approval to the remark that Feng Ying said.
When the two walked and were just silent, a voice from a distance they could hear. Although a bit sayup. The two looked at each other and nodded.
Wang Feng also seemed to understand the eye gestures that Feng Ying and Wang Chen were making. He came running when he saw Feng Ying and Wang Chen running towards the source of the sound.

Elsewhere, a horse-drawn carriage with several human corpses was seen around it. Only one woman and a few men remain.
The woman looked very frightened. He was surrounded by three men dressed in black. All the guards who had taken him were now dead and left only one bodyguard alive, and were being gripped by someone who was also dressed in black.
"Darling if we just kill him. Let's just take him." Say one of them. He stared at the woman in front of him.
The woman grew even more frightened when she heard the words coming out of the man's mouth. He had no fighting ability to fight against them. So he could only be scared. "Don't come any closer! I'm Liu Mei's daughter! B-when you get close.., m-then you'll get in trouble!" He said with fear. She was the daughter of Liu Mei, who came from the Liu empire, one of the empires in this eastern continent.
The three men surrounding him fell silent for a moment. After that, they laughed loudly. "Haha, Liu's daughter?"
"It turns out to be true said the rumors that circulated. You're so pretty!" Say one to the other while laughing.
"But isn't she a princess? Then why is it that only a few people are escorted and all of them are very weak! Is it possible that this Liu's daughter has been ignored by the Emperor anymore? Will his life or death be ignored? Ahaha!"
"You're right too, haha! Was it possible that they lacked people to guard the palace, so the Emperor only gave a few bodyguards? And that too. weak people!" He smiled mockingly.
Liu Mei was furious when she heard the words of the three men surrounding her. He left with only a few bodyguards because of his own wishes. He did not want to look too flashy when passing people. His horse carriage was made not too luxurious according to him so as not to flashy. But still, to others, his carriage was quite striking. Because it looks classy. There are even some decorations made from crystals and diamonds. How could others not consider it luxurious?
Liu Mei stared fiercely at the three men surrounding her. He can't fight them. But he couldn't just express fear when people started mocking him like this. He felt he had the strength and courage to beat up these people because he felt angry at them. "Shut your mouths!"
Liu Mei directly hit the cheek of one of the three people, making the man's face diverted from looking at him.
The other two people were shocked to see Liu Mei's actions. The man who had been hit by Liu Mei was holding her cheek. He was also shocked at what Liu Mei was doing. Where did this woman's courage hit her?
"Bad! You hit me!" The man who had been hit had the intention of hitting Liu Mei, who had closed his eyes because of the fist that was pointing at her.
But before the man could do it, his fist was held by someone's hand from behind his body. He was shocked and started to move his head back. Both of his friends looked to the side.
There was a young man with orange eyes and black hair clasping the fist of the man who wanted to hit Liu Mei. The young man smiled cynically, "Tck!"
The man directly threw the young man's hand violently from his fist. He began to move aside, as well as his two friends who kept their distance to the young man.
"When did he come?" That is their inner speech. The three of them were completely unaware of the presence of this young man that was none other than Wang Chen. Not only the three, Liu Mei, the remaining bodyguards and one of their bandit friends who were guarding the bodyguards did not know when Wang Chen had come.
~POV Feng Ying
I was standing on a tree not far from Chen and the moon tiger. He ate the face-changing pill, so his current face was not the real face. So I don't have to worry if his identity will be known.
I knew that the person in the middle of the three people was the person I had met at the time. He's the one who gave me the leaf pendant that's part of the time-spinning thing. He hasn't changed much since that last meeting.
Looks like the princess won't know if the one who helped her is Chen. But if Chen was with the tiger that month... Is he still not going to recognize her? Maybe not. Because the world is vast, many people who must have never met the princess. So maybe he would have thought that Chen was someone else who also carried a moon tiger like Chen.
I'm here because I'm lazy to go help him. I'm not the kind of person who likes to be called a hero for saving someone. I went to the origin of this sound just because I was curious, not because I wanted to help.
I wonder why people like Chen love to help people and sometimes even meddle in their affairs, in order to help. Why is it so hard to help someone even unknown? He just wasted energy. Even when the person he helped wanted to give a reward, he often refused. So when he won't take it, I'll take it. Good, hehe.
But sometimes there are also those who do not give anything, because they have no treasure at all. That's so annoying.
If I help others, I will ask for payment for my services. We do have a fairly obvious opposite nature.
I saw that Chen was currently starting to fight with those four people. I was just watching from a distance away from her, so that the princess wouldn't see me. Although my face is not my real face, I still do not want to see him.
~POV Feng Ying End
After some time, Wang Chen had finally cleared all four of his opponents. Even because he arrived on time, making the life of one of Liu Mei's bodyguards safe. It turned out that the people fighting were just a bunch of bandits interested in Liu Mei's luxurious carriage. They must have thought that the person in the horse-drawn carriage was a rich man, so they wanted to take away his property.
It was not only Wang Chen who helped Liu Mei. But Wang Feng was like that too. He even ate one human, making Liu Mei afraid and away from Wang Feng and Wang Chen.
The one remaining bodyguard also seemed to be protecting the current Liu Mei from before Wang Feng. Although he had many wounds and blood on his body, but he could not ignore his responsibility to drive Liu Mei back to the palace.
"Don't worry, I'm not a bad person." Said Wang Chen when he saw the bodyguard's movements. He nodded in understanding why the bodyguards were acting like that. Of course because of the actions of Wang Feng earlier that made them wary, as well as afraid.
Liu Mei tried to calm herself down. He said, "Thank you for helping us." He said with a brick. He was still shocked by everything that happened. This was the second time he had seen a murder like this.
