The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1061 - Myrth: 32



Chapter 1061

(Unedited)

With a pale face, Yao Xue suddenly covered her mouth as she did not expect that one of the bandits would be able to hear her words. Her hands began to tremble as fear could be clearly seen written all over her face.

Yao Xue did not expect that her sudden impulse to talk would be the thing that would discover them both in the carriage. Her fear began to get the better of her as she began to panic.

"Ssshh!!!"

Xin Ja signaled for her to keep quiet.  In fact, he did not have to tell her about this. The truth is that he has already covered the carriage in a rune array that would look like it is a wrecked carriage. Plus he also carved a silence rune on it.

.

But he could not tell this to the young woman in front of him because he could still not trust her at the moment.

Yao Xue began to sob as she tried her best to stifle her crying. Upon seeing this, Xin Ja could not help but heave a heavy sigh.

Upon sensing the silence outside, Xin Ja suddenly became a bit cautious. He spread his hearing around him and what he sensed next made him feel troubled.

He could tell that the people outside is actually sneaking towards their carriage. This made him feel baffled.

"Wait a minute…Something is wrong. The camouflage is perfect, right? If they truly discovered us then how did that happen?" Xin Ja thought as he suddenly takes out his new sword and began carving on the walls of the carriage.

Yao Xue could not understand what is happening right now. She just watches as Xin Ja began writing something on the wall.

Suddenly, the masked youth sits beside her with his sword on the ready.

"What even happens next… Remember… Do not panic and do not run…" he said in a serious voice.

Yao Xue did not say anything and just nodded her head.

Wheng!!!

A vibrating sound suddenly echoed inside the carriage as a sword pierced through its walls.

Yao Xue almost ran outside upon seeing this, but a firm hand suddenly grabs hers. Feeling the hand, a slight blush suddenly appears on her face.

As a young woman who was born in a clan and has always been an introvert, Yao Xue has not yet experienced being touched by anyone before except her own mother.

Ever since becoming a young maiden, she has kept herself inside their house and has not always mingled with her own siblings or relatives.

And so this is the first time that she has ever experienced being touched by the opposite sex.

However, for Xin Ja, this is something that he is not bothered about. Because, right now there is only one thing in his mind, and that is to escape this predicament no matter what.

He did not know why he is even bothering himself in saving the young woman. But his conscience is telling him to do so.

He suddenly pulled the young woman in his embrace and quickly jumped upwards. At this time, another saber crashes through the wall of the carriage which opens up the roof through its sheer force.

Bang!

The carriage seems to have erupted as debris came flying all over the place. And for some unknown reason dust clouds began to form which covers the area where the carriage is.

"What the hell happened?" shouted an angry voice among the crowd of bandits.

Everyone around him does not have any idea what just happened so they could not say anything and just looks at the man and their companions around them.

No one has noticed that two figures had just escaped their encirclement and are currently sitting quietly above a thick branch of a tree while watching the commotion down below.

"Ahhh… It does not matter… Everyone!… Take the bridal carriage! We should leave this area immediately." a man shouted which seems to be their leader to the rest of the bandits.

As the bandits left while dragging \'the bridal\' carriage, Xin Ja and Yao Xue heave a sigh of relief.

"Why… How come? The… the caravan actually has two bridal carriages?" Yao Xue asked with a hint of confusion in her tone.

She could also see the bridal carriage being taken by the bandits.

Xin Ja could not help but chuckle.

Seeing that the masked youth is chuckling, Yao Xue knew that there is truly something wrong with the scene she is seeing.

"Hehe… I was actually just passing by. But then, the bandits suddenly attacked your carriage. I originally did not want to intervene, but it seems that these bandits are dead set in killing and pillaging. I wanted to help, but they are far stronger and numerous than me… So I could only do this little bit." Xin Ja began to explain.

"That carriage is actually empty… But it is rigged with camouflage runes. Hihi…" he added with a chuckle.

Upon realizing this, the expression of Yao Xue changed. It seems that she already got the gist of it. Plus, she began to have an interest in the masked youth who rescued her. This is because she discovered that he is really proficient in runes.

When she noticed the runes he made inside her carriage was the time that she began to look at the masked youth with interest. Runes are her true passion. Although her knowledge is a bit lacking, she could still tell that the young man is truly an expert.

After the bandits left, the two began observing the surroundings. Their expression changed as they noticed that many people have died in this attack.

Some women are left crying on the side after being taken advantage of by the bandits. Their only consolation is that they are still alive.

"Should… should we go down and help them?" she asked with concern.

Xin Ja looks at the innocent young woman and shook his head.

He heard what these women were talking about when he was sneaking around. He discovered the real plan of these people.

In fact, the truth is that the bandits were all tip-off by the one the maids called their master. Who that person is, he did not know.

But one thing is for sure, he or she is a part of the Yao family.

"Have you guys already marked the carriage?"

"Yes… That slut would not be able to escape this fate."

"Humph, I wish to see her be raped over and over by these bandits… that would surely teach her a lesson. Who does she think she is that we should serve her? If not for her, I would not be sent to a desolate village… Grr… I truly hare her."

"Yeah, I agree… Well, after we return, the master would be able to give us something, right?"

"I just want money…"

"Me too!"

"Haha…"

"The fighting is already dying down we should escape now!"

Upon hearing that, Xin Ja suddenly remembers the scheming and the treachery of people. In his anger, he attracted a few bandits to the carriage.

When the blood-thirsty bandits went inside the carriage, the maids in there has no chance to fight back and were taken advantage of and were left lying inside with their robes shredded.

They did not have time to escape anymore and their wish came through, but it was not Yao Xue who was raped, but them.

As Xin Ja looks at the young woman sitting beside her, he could tell that she truly worries about the people below.

Xin Ja heaves a deep sigh and was about to jump down when he suddenly noticed another figure suddenly appearing from the bushes.

That figure does not look like a bandit but more of a scholar.

The guy seems to be double-checking everything then leaving calmly after the bandits.

"So that guy is the reason why the bandits discovered the camouflage. He might have seen the carriage changing." Xin Ja muttered.

Xin Ja did not move yet and decided to just observe further. He would not want to fall in an ambush, right?

5 minutes later, he noticed that a few survivors began moving.

Suddenly the expression of Xin Ja turned ugly. Some of the guards, matrons and other maids are actually not killed but instead pretended to be one.

"What is happening here?" he thought.

"Get rid of those... trash!" suddenly one of the guards commanded while pointing at the carriage where the maids were.

Cries of pleading and agony were heard in the air and the stench of blood suddenly assaulted Xin Ja\'s nose.

"Sir… What about the Yao young lady?"

"Let her be… this was their family\'s plan, let her suffer." The guard said in a stern voice.

"Clean up the area quickly! We\'re going back to the village!" he commanded.

The guards and the matrons began moving and quickly got rid of the carriages from the Yao family.

"Let\'s go, we still have to rendezvous with our men who came with the bandits." The guard shouted as he hopped on his horse.

"Those… those are people from the Wangs…" Yao Xue muttered as she covered her mouth in disbelief.
