Chapter 13 - Abyss

I was so stunned to speak. I never seen a man being this gorgeous and beautiful not in my life, never until today.

As Pei Rang waved at me and started to shout,

Brother see how good ally you have following you through here for you're safety.

I was startled by hearing that. As I looked at him, he gave me a warm smile and bowed a little.

Zhou Lin Yi asked him stepping from my back,

Who is that young master, i never seen him here?

Pei Rang furiously asked,

You... what are you doing here and when did you came?

I don't wanted to create any fuss there, so i stopped them,

Shut up. Zhou Lin Yi you leave, and Pei Rang go inside the cart. 

I gave that young man a skeptic stare and signed to follow me inside.

Zhou Lin Yi gone first with his horse.

As we seated there i kept concealing my eyes toward him for not create an awkwardness, while he was staring at me the whole way. Which made the air more awkward. Pei Rang kept sharing glances once toward me and another toward him. I couldn't handle the weird feeling so breathed through the window.

It became already night. We stopped at Wei river shore. The horses needed rest too.

Pei Rang came up with some dried woods and started to firing on them.

I was resting as usual, up at a tree branch, While the young man flied through the tree and stood front of me. I were pretty amazed by his skill. To my surprise he fondled his hand toward me, and i seen little whitey came out from his sleeve climbed through his fingers to mine. He started to speaking,

This is Leng Jing, my pet. I heared a lot about you, General Jun. Thanks for saving him that day. He can hear and understand everything also can talk with only me through mind.

I smirked at little whitey and thought, indeed you're name meant you're look and asked him,

Then may i know my ally's name too?

He gave a soft chuckle and answered passionately,

Sure, I am Xiao Lin. I am not from here but i will be staying in here from now on.

I understood why he was there at Xiyu, because little whitey agreed to come with me there.

As we were talking, suddenly Pei Rang started to calling for food. He prepared grilled fish which he caught from the river right before and bread's from carriage. He is a wanderer gig sure he will have instant food with him.

We stepped down and Xiao Lin handed me a jar of wine and said,

Seen, My general can hold heavy liquor. They are the finest strong old wine.

I gave him an annoyed look.

Both of them started to eating food. I was sitting behind, facing the river and drinking in a distance.

After a while Xiao Lin joined me and gave me a roasted warm bread. I stepped it aside. As he looked at me i said,

I am not a fan of eating. Mostly fish and meat.

But it's not a fish or meat.

I started to eating it thinking i am acting rude and said,

I thought about finish the drink first.

He growled,

Strong wine's are not good for empty stomach.

I replied,

That's why i drink first because they kill our hungry worms.

He started to laughing hard saying,

Indeed my savage general.

I looked at him and his laugh making me laugh too, I barely hold and blushed hard.

After finishing the food I took out The Seven Kill sword and started to wiping it. But its not getting clear, then Xiao Lin insisted,

Let me try.

I gave it to him and to my surprise he wiped with his hand once and in instant, it started to shining through moon light. He showed to me and his eyes and my eyes portrait like a mirror, so crystal clear.

I thanked him and kept staring at him with astonish.

I kept looking through wonder, how the moonlight reflected by the river making his gray hair shine and his eyes sparkling with each affectionate glances. He looked like the world's most beautiful feature, like an abyss.
