Getting Trailed

In the morning.

Han Yan wore the same clothes he wore yesterday with a sword tied to left waist inside the long robes, making the sword not visible to outside. After all, he is carrying a low-grade sword.

Knock… Knock…

A knocking sound was heard. The steward brought the vegetable soup. That is rich in flavour like yesterday's meal. It is also melted in his mouth. After finishing the breakfast, Han Yan felt his mind and body refreshed. Feeling refreshed, Han Yan stood up and went outside.

Seeing Han Yan coming outside, the guard came forward performing a bow.

"Get the horse here." Said Han Yan to the guard.

Nodding his head, the guard brought the horse. Han Yan walked to his horse and patted its head.

"Say to receptionist that I am going." Said Han Yan. While Han Yan got on his horse and rode forward.

In the roadside alley, the two brothers saw Han Yan leaving. One hurriedly ran to inform Yi Fan, and another trailed Han Yan.

"Big bro, that boy is leaving. We should hurry." Said Shi Hai, gasping his breath.

"Okay, all of you move to our usual hunting spot. We will ambush him there." Said Yi Fan, taking a sword for him. Nodding their heads, both Wu Dong and Shi Hai also took a dagger and a blade for themselves and rushed to the city gates.

When Han Yan is getting near the city gates. Han Yan got a feeling of being observed by someone. He thought He Cheng send someone to beat him up.

"But this man did nothing after I came outside all this time."

"Does he want to kill me? But He Cheng will never do such a stupid thing."

"So, someone wanted to kill me and he is scouting. I think they will set up an ambush somewhere in the Outlands or a deserted place to kill me." Thought Han Yan.

"This is getting interesting." Said Han Yan slowly with an exciting expression.

Suddenly Han Yan turned his horse to another direction. Shi Hao, who is trailing Han Yan, suddenly narrowed his eyes, seeing Han Yan shift his direction. But he never thought he got caught. Who will believe that a 15 - 16 years immature boy caught a veteran who is trailing behind him?

Shi Hao went the direction Han Yan took, anyway. Soon they appeared before an enormous market place. Han Yan tied his horse to a pole and gave the shopkeeper a silver coin to watch the horse. Han Yan then walked to the crowd. Seeing this Shi Hao conflicted.

People are shopping while moving here and there in the market. And riding a horse in the market will attract the attention of the crowd. Which Han Yan doesn't want to happen now. So he walked in the market. If it was normal, he seldom walks like this. As he walked in the market. Shi hao followed.

As if everything is going according to his plan Han Yan smiled. After some window shopping, Han Yan directly went inside a dark alley.

Seeing Han Yan going inside the alley. Shi Hao waited outside, picking up things before a shop while looking at the alley.

After 15 minutes. Han Yan was nowhere to be seen. Shi Hao was afraid that he got caught and Han Yan escaped. He is confused this time. Shi Hao slowly walked towards the dark alley.

Going in, Shi Hao saw nothing but a pile of trash thrown on a side and a dead end. The first thing he got in his mind is that Han Yan has escaped and started cursing Han Yan.

"Shit, that little rascal has escaped." "But. How did he know that I am trailing behind him?" Said Shi Hao.

"Because you are too easy to find." Said Han Yan while holding his sword with two hands and using the hilt to knock Shi Hao's head.

It all happened within a second. While Shi Hao was thinking where he got caught. Han Yan who is entirely hidden in the trash jumped on the back of Shi Hao and knocked him with the hilt.

Before getting knocked out. Shi Hao saw an immature boy holding a sword with his two hands and was covered with waste all over him. Never did he expect that he would get knocked out by a boy and taken as a hostage.

"Ahh. To catch this fool, I even had to be in the trash for 15 minutes. What took him so long? Is he dumb? So slow to catch up with the scenes. Anyway, now I caught him. I need to make him talk," said Han Yan.

If Shi hao was conscious, he would have puked blood after hearing this. Han Yan cleaned himself and slapped Shi Hao. Seeing no signs of awareness in Shi Hao. Han Yan slapped again, hard. Shi Hao wrinkled his eyebrows a little, sensing some pain. After all, He was knocked by a low-grade spirit weapon.

Seeing this situation, Han Yan thought that it will take some time for Shi Hao to wake. Suddenly Han Yan thought of something and smirked a bit after seeing Shi Hao unconscious.

"Guess. I have to use my Supreme Techniques." Said Han Yan, seeing Shi Hao's lower body. Han Yan lifted his right leg and stomped on Shi Hao's little brother.

"Aaahhh…" Cried in agony.

Shi Hao, who was in unconscious state woke up. His eyes became blood red seeing his little brother stomped.

"Brother, Are you okay? I saw you lying unconscious on the ground. So, I tried all the ways. But you didn't wake up. So reluctantly I had to use this method on you."

"It is hurting right." Said Han Yan so righteously. Seeing Han Yan speak so righteously like doing this is not his fault. Shi Hao cursed Han Yan's entire family.

"So why did you follow me? And What are you up to tell me everything?" Asked Han Yan hoarsely. After listening to Han Yan's question, Shi Hao's face turned sour and acted dumb in front of Han Yan.

"Are you not going to tell me?"

"Tell me while I am asking nicely or else I have many ways to get the truth out of you." Said Han Yan with a devilish smile on his face.

"I will never speak. Whatever you do to me." Said Shi Hao stubbornly.

"Then I have to try knocking you out and wake you up." Said Han Yan while shaking his head.

Hearing Han Yan. Shi Hao's face immediately changed. He was horrified, imagining the pain. Even now his head and his little brother were hurting like hell. Not giving Shi Hao any time. Han Yan knocked him out and stomped his little brother.

"Aaahhh…" this time Shi Hao shouted with more intense.

"Not speaking."

Sigh…

With a sigh. Han Yan again knocked out Shi Hao and stomped his little brother to wake him up.

"Damn it, this devil is not giving me time to speak." thought Shi Hao while shouting. After getting knocked again. Shi Hao gestured Han Yan to stop with his hand. And tears are rolling on his face. Han Yan stopped knocking Shi Hao.

"I will tell you everything. So, stop." Said Shi Hao slowly while crying.
