Both of them rushed towards the man from different angles, then they punched him on both cheeks, immediately they punched him, he woke up. He was already feeling dizzy then when he touched his nose, his hand was dyed with blood. He felt like someone was holding him but he couldn't see the person's face clearly and there are also two other people in his front, the only thing he could see is a blurred image of two hands coming towards his face but another tiny hand quickly blocked them.
"That is not what I mean" Huo Li said
"Then what do you mean?" Bingchen asked
"When I came into the room, he immobilised me then he put a knife at my throat," Huo Li said
"you should have said so, we almost killed him," Huo Qiang said, they were about to walk out of the room when Huo Ying suddenly brought the man in front of her then she slapped him, at the sound of the slap the both of them quickly turned back, the sound was so loud that they wondered if the man still alive but the man had already dropped on the floor, he was unconscious.
"Why did you slap him?" Bingchen asked with a shocked expression written on his face, he was not only shocked but he and Huo Qiang were also frightened at the sound of the slap.
"I just wanted to wake him up…" Huo Li replied, she looked confused as though she didn't understand why the man was unconscious, she pouted her mouth and widened her eyes, her look was completely innocent if it was an outsider that was looking at her they would have been deceived by her innocent look.
"Wake him up! With such a heavy slap" Bingchen said
"I just thought of something, why don't we wear some of that man's cloth to disguise ourselves," Huo Qiang said
"Even if we wear his cloths that doesn't mean that they won't suspect us, we still have Huo Li with us," Bingchen said
"I didn't want to use this but I think I have to," Huo Li said, then she brought out a paper from her chest, the both of them looked at her in confusion.
"The last time I left the sect, I bought this from a shop, they say that it can change out appearance for one hour but I kept it as a treasure because this is the last one the shop owner had," Huo Li said
"Are you going to keep it or use it now?" Huo Qiang asked impatiently
"I will," Huo Li said, then she bit her lower lips. She placed the paper on her hand then she asked the others to do the same, she used her index finger and her third finger to input her Qi into her the paper. Immediately, the three of them turned into two middle-aged men and a middle-aged woman.
When they all opened their eyes, they were shocked to see how much they have changed, the only person Huo Li couldn't recognise them but they could recognise her.
"Which one of you is Bingchen?" Huo Li asked, then the middle-aged man in blue cloth raised up his hand.
"This is so perfect," Bingchen said
"We don't have time to waste, remember this disguise only lasts for one hour," Huo Li said, she wanted to go back to the room o see what was inside the box, but to her duty comes first, then they all left the house.
When they left the house, they were shocked to see that the disciples of the vitality sect had Caught up with them and they were riding towards the city gate, they immediately turned their faces away. They had already ridden past them but one of the disciples stopped the other nine disciples, then he came down from his horse and walked up to them.
"Let me see your face," the disciple said with a commanding tone, they three of them were hesitant so they didn't turn their faces, it seemed like they had forgotten that their appearances had already changed.
"What is it?" another disciple said as he walked towards them, then the first disciple bowed his head to the second one.
"senior disciple, although we were not able to catch up with those thieves, I had already caught a glimpse of their horse before we lost them and these people horse looks like the horses those three thieves were riding," he said
"and they are also three in number," the second disciple said, then he drew his sword from the sheath and pointed it at the three of them.
"if you don't show your faces, don't blame me for being ruthless" the disciple said, then the three of them raised their heads. The disciple quickly put his sword back in his sheath and was about to walk away but Huo Li stopped him.
"If you offended your elders are you not supposed to apologise," She said in an elderly voice. The disciple turned back then he grabbed her hand and said "you should be lucky that I am letting you off", then he dropped her hand aggressively and walked away, they climbed back on their horses and rode to the city gate.
"Those mannerless bastards!" Huo Li cursed.
"Let's go, we have wasted some time already," Huo Qiang said, then they all walked to the city gate while they pulled the horses.
They had already reached the city gate but the line was too long, if they had to wait until it was their turn, their disguise wouldn't be able to last that long.
"We can't wait until it is our turn, we would be discovered," Bingchen said
"then what do we do, we can't just storm away while attracting all the city's army to ourselves, we can defeat them but we don't have time to waste," Huo Li said
"one of us has to be unconscious for us to pass through that gate early otherwise we won't be able to leave here on time," Huo Qiang said
"I will, I can stop my pulse and I can stop my heart from beating for twenty minutes," Huo Li said
"How is that possible" Bingchen said
"Just a trick I learnt from my outings" She replied
"If you can, then now is the time, those disciples are coming towards our direction" Huo Qiang said, as soon as the disciples were two metres away from them, Huo Li fell to the ground.
"Sister!!"
"Wife!!"
Both of them shouted to attract the disciple's attention, then the disciples came closer to them to see what was wrong.
"Why are you shouting," one of them asked
"It is my wife, she has a weak body and we were taking for treatment inside the city but we have wasted time here and she is dying please help us," Bingchen said.
Why is that idiot calling me his wife….
Huo Li said in her mind!
"Please help my sister" Huo Qiang pleaded as he shook Huo Li's body vigorously
Stop shaking my body you fool…
She said in her mind!
"I have to inform the head disciple first," one of them said, then he and the other disciples left them and returned to the gate.
"tchtchtchtch! She is so pitiful, she is not even old yet and she is already dying, I pity her husband and brother" a woman said to her partner, everyone had already started murmuring as they watched both men wailing over her.
Then the disciple returned.
"the head disciple has asked you to come to the front," the disciple said, then Bingchen carried Huo Li in his arms and Huo Qiang pulled the three horses as they walked to the front of the city gate.
"I was wondering who it was, who would have thought that it was you people," the head disciple said
"cultivator, please let us pass, my wife will die if we can't get inside the city soon" Bingchen pleaded
"Why should I let you go, you should wait in line just like everyone else, they all have something urgent to do but they are still patiently waiting so you should also get in line" the head disciple said.
"these cultivators are so hard-hearted, this is a matter of life and death"
"they claim to be the most righteous people on earth but they are not"
"Let them go!"
"Let them go!"
The people shouted when the disciples saw that they were at a disadvantage, they drew their swords at the people then they all kept quiet, the officers that were present there didn't talk because the Vitality sect had the support of the government.
"If her mouth had not been so sharp, I would have let her go but now…" the head disciple said, he was clearly not planning to let them go until she dies. Huo Qiang immediately fell to his knees and bowed his head before the head disciple.
"cultivator please let us go, forgive my sister for her mannerlessness," Huo Qiang said, then he started bowing his head several times, he realized that the head disciple must have wanted them to beg for his mercy, although he was reluctant, he had to do so for the sake of Huo Ying.
"Since you are so desperate, I will let you go," the head disciple said with an arrogant smile etched on his lips, then Bingchen quickly carried Huo Li on his horse while Huo Qiang pulled the horse that Huo Li was supposed to ride and his horse. They had almost entered the city gate when the head disciple stopped them.
"cultivator, why have you stopped us again?" Huo Qiang asked
"How can I be sure that your sister has really collapsed, what if you are faking it," the head disciple said
"How can we fake such a serious issue, if you don't believe us then you can check her pulse," Huo Qiang said, the head disciple raised one of his eyebrows then he looked at them suspiciously, he signalled one of his disciples to check Huo Li's pulse. The disciple checked her pulse then he realized that she doesn't have a pulse.
"Head disciple, she…she…she doesn't have a pulse," the disciple said
Everyone started to murmur.
"She must be dead already"
"but she was alive a while ago"
"these cultivators are so cruel"
"But she was alive a moment ago," Bingchen said, he held Huo Li hand and started crying.
"cultivator, if only you had let us go earlier, she would not have died," Huo Qiang said, the least he could do was to pretend like someone who has just lost his sister, his acting was not as good as Bingchen who was hugging Huo Li tightly while crying.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Both of them rushed towards the man from different angles, then they punched him on both cheeks, immediately they punched him, he woke up. He was already feeling dizzy then when he touched his nose, his hand was dyed with blood. He felt like someone was holding him but he couldn't see the person's face clearly and there are also two other people in his front, the only thing he could see is a blurred image of two hands coming towards his face but another tiny hand quickly blocked them.
