Belighted city governor's young niece

Elsie walked through the market with Zarin and was unexpectedly pulled away by him and just as she was about to rebuke him, Clamours could be heard from the crowds and an elegant grand carriage drawn by four horses rode through the market road.

"Everyone out of the way! Make way for the young miss!"

Elsie who was pulled out from the road stood there dumbfounded with the finger she was about to rebuke Zarin with, halted in mid-air

At the moment those crowds were clamoring and running all about to make way for the grand carriage, she had spotted a little girl squatted down in the middle of the road and at this moment, the horses carrying the grand carriage were moving closer to the little girl.

The men who were riding the carriage saw the little girl but they weren't even bothering to halt.

This made Elsie's body tremble from fury and white flames began to surge on her body. If she used her cultivation she might not be able to save that child on time but with this martial art, she was confident she could do so.

Zarin who was beside her noticed the sudden energy from her, he initiated to clench her hand to stop her from doing whatever she was planning on doing.

However, Elsie abruptly severed her hand from his, and with a stomp of her feet, she leaped up into mid-air and rushed towards the little girl. Whether she was going to be offending whoever was in that carriage, she didn't care, all she knows is that she is definitely going to save that child no matter what!

The horses neighed as they pulled back when they saw the whiten flames silhouette that appeared in front of them.

The guards who were riding the horses furrowed their brows as a deep frown emerged on their faces. Who dared to obstruct their young miss?

They instantly took out a whip and proceeded to whip the person who dared to obstruct the passage of their young miss.

The moment the flames on Elsie's body faded, a skinny girl with white hair holding unto a little girl was revealed.

She gently picked up the child and took her out of the road, then with a furious face she turned around and glared at the horse riders.

The horse riders were dumbstruck, the skinny white-haired girl had a very beautiful face with large eyes. Would they say she looked adorable as a little girl? They haven't seen someone beautiful like her, not even their young miss!

Snapping back to reality the guards were about to react when their young miss poked her head out of the window, her red hair falling over her shoulders. she trailed her gaze to Elsie and a sense of inferiority overwhelmed her when she saw Elsie's face and a trace of envy flashed across her eyes.

An evil grin crept up her brim as she polled, "Who do you think you are to obstruct my way?"

Elsie however, narrowed her eyes as she polled back, "And who do you think you are to try and take away the life of this little girl, as though she is worth nothing?"

The young miss face darkened and she roared furiously, "Presumptuous! Men whip her!"

She angrily shut the window of the carriage and imprinted Elsie's look deep into her mind. "Even if I can't kill you in public, you won't live for long! Nobody can afford to offend this young miss here!"

Elsie instantly pulled her two swords out when she heard those words, Zarin who was beside her couldn't help but curse within him, "The little devil will always be the little devil, now she has gotten herself into trouble!"

He picked up a rod from one of the weapon shops and dashed to stand beside Elsie, whom the guards were encircling. With vigilance-filled eyes, both of them turned from left to right while intently watching every movement of the guards.

The guards watched the girl and young man whom they were encircling and the whip in their hands trembled.

Blue flames contained with blue tiny stars surged on their bodies and transmitted to the whip. They roared like beasts and rushed toward the two people they encircled ready to whip the daylight out of them.

Zarin and Elsie instantly leaped up into mid-air and launched to fight with the guards.

Red flames contained with tiny red stars surged on Zarin's body as he knocked down the guards one by one, Elsie on the other hand was having an arduous time fighting off the guards. She was a 2nd level cultivator while these guards were sixth-level cultivators!

The Divine flames martial art wasn't yet at advanced stage talk more of perfection stages so it wasn't able to fend those guards off.

Zarin who has knocked two guards down noticed Elsie, who was barely holding against those guards and promptly rushed up to her blocking the incoming attack of the guard scurrying towards her.

Forcefully grabbing Elsie's bony hand, Zarin pulled her away with him at full speed trying to escape the guards who were wildly chasing after them.

The guards chased them for about ten miles and abruptly stopped, they gazed Intently at the two people escaping, and with a nod to each other, they turned around and left.

Elsie continued to flee with Zarin and only stopped when they were sure they have circumvented those guards.

With her hands on her knees, she bent down as her chest rose and fell from exhaustion, She has never run as much as she ran today in her two lifetimes.

As though recalling something, she abruptly stood up straight and gazed intently at Zarin.

"You're... a Fifth-level cultivator, Red star level."

Zarin smiled awkwardly as he nodded, not in the slightest bit denying it. Well, he couldn't even deny it even if he wants to, not to this little devil, she might do something funny to him.

Yes, he is stronger than her, but it's never a wise choice to underestimate someone just because you're stronger than them.
