The Swordsman of the Gods

042. Trust is Hard to Get

The presence of Li Bai and Wang Xian certainly made the 3 girls shocked. Be alert to the presence of strangers, and be prepared to flee.

“Ah, no ..no. My little friend and I came here to save you. I know you guys are from the Entertainment District, because that's ..”

Maids!!

Since Wang Xian was originally speaking, Li Bai beat him to a stop.

“Don't say that, fool! Girls will be afraid when they hear words that are familiar to them. So it should be ..”

“Who are you?! What are you gonna do here? Want to sell us too? I'm warning you not to come near or I'll kill you!” exclaimed the long black haired girl, she stood in front of the other two girls.

Said he was going to kill but he had no weapon in his hand. Only use courage and try to protect the girl younger than him.

“Kak Li is the same, tuh.”

“What? Hey, come on, work together. We've put down those bandits but what do we do to them? We have to save him like we did before, right? But to be honest this is very difficult,” said Li Bai who then sat facing them.

Wang Xian whispered, “You just woo them.”

Maids!!

Once again Li Bai's punch managed to land on Wang Xian's face until it caused a bruise mark.

Li Bai had his own way so that they no longer felt threatened or anything bad.

“Listen, I'm not interested in women let alone little girls like you. I'm young, and I need freedom. But as I see it, there's no such thing here. If you want to become stronger to protect them, then come with me,” Li Bai said as he extended his hand.

Li Bai understood after the girl with black hair acted like an elder brother to them. It was well understood that the girl named Xie Xie would do anything for the sake of justice that they should get.

Xie Xie fell silent, seeing Li Bai extend his hand, still he hesitated about the decision to believe it or not.

Until the skinny girl tugged at the end of Xie Xie's clothes that were wet with blood. Then said, “Lin Lin wants to trust them.”

For Lin Lin's sake, he nodded in confidence and agreed to go with the two men.

The three of them followed him where they were going to take him. Somewhere, it was a house that belonged to the old man.

“Tua! We brought you some more kids. One of them is injured, let me treat it first.”

“Alright, after that get food for those who are hungry.”

Ming Fu was still lying there, he looked comfortable with his current position. When he saw some girls coming in, he was surprised.

“Nak! Are you hurt by something? Your back is bleeding like this.” He stopped Xie Xie's steps which at that moment was just silent as he clasped the hands of Lin Lin and one other girl.

“I told you Elders, one of them was injured. Are you deaf now?” Li Bai insisted.

“Ah, sorry. I was just surprised, Li Bai.”

***

Li Bai cleaned up and treated the severe wound. The other two girls were also injured on the soles of their feet.

“To this extent, would you still be able to endure it if today I did not meet you?”

“Lin Lin can hold it back thanks to the brave Xie Xie. He gave us strength, and now we are full,” Lin said as he ate the food given to him.

“Oh, so. Just deserve. Are you from the Entertainment District? Which many women but treated not well by the men?” ask Li Bai.

“Hey, Lin Lin! Don't tell that to anyone! He's still a stranger,” amuk Xie.

“But he helped us! What's wrong with me believing?”

“You don't know. You were almost killed by a man you didn't recognize, were you? I was almost fooled, you must be the first time you face such a terrible thing, right?” sahut Xie's.

“Huh, I know. But it is true ..it was the first time for me,” said Lin turned his face away.

“Already, already.”

Li Bai was overwhelmed by their attitude. Keep fighting, even though sometimes it has made up, there must be time for them to fight again.

After Li Bai took care of them, he went to see his Elders. He wants to talk about this area.

In a room that is neither hot nor cold, it is undeniable that they feel safe here. The happiness you feel may be for a moment.

Until one time, behind the window, he saw and heard some people talking bad things about Li Bai.

“Si Ming, he said he wanted to become emperor in this region? Stupid, yeah. That's definitely impossible. He is not rich, nor does he have power. What will he use to make him emperor.”

“Hey, that's right. But I heard he's strong, and he's also with some people. Especially the Zhao, was already burly at a young age had already made the guts of the bandits shrivel. But, you know about Li?”

“Li? You mean Li Bai who often took many women and girls who fled the Entertainment District? Oh, if that's what I already know.” Then this man laughed a little.

Laughing with cause, many people said that Li Bai was a womanizer. He often played with many women. A man who sounds so disgusting.

Hearing him made Xie Xie very angry. He thought again he was tricked. Feeling fed up, he left.

“Where to?” asked Lin Lin.

“I want to beat up that jerk guy!”

Xie Xie held back any anger he could not after what he just heard earlier. In fact Li Bai was not as good as he had thought before, even though Lin Lin placed his trust in Li Bai, he still could not.

His previous words were in doubt. Xie Xie ran to see Li Bai, but he was nowhere. Even after conversing with the old man, he went along with the boy who was always with him.

The steps are getting faster and faster. No matter if the wound would open again or not, he still ran to look for Li Bai.

Until night comes.

“Lin Lin wanted to ask, is that man who has saved us a dangerous man?”

Lin Lin felt anxious about Xie Xies current existence. He asked the old man if it was true that Li Bai was the man who was rumored to be the worst man just as many people had said.

But the old man said with a relieved smile, “Li Bai is not that kind of person. Even if the girl doesn't come back, she'll look for her. You're worried, right?”

“Yes. Xie Xie has never been like this. If you leave, you will return soon.”

Without knowing what happened that now Xie Xie got lost into the jungle all day. Somehow he went home, since thinking about Li Bai's bad rumors, he refused to move from there. He sat behind a big tree.

“You ...here?”

Li Bai, the man was breathing heavily. Showing an anxious face with wounds everywhere. He could feel his worry, because Li Bai was afraid that something would happen to Xie Xie. His eyes are not a liar.

“You came for me?”

“Of course!” firmly Li Bai with an angry face.
