The Red-Haired Warrior

Silver Moon Inn is a simple, two-story building that provides twenty rooms for rent. Fang An booked a room on the second floor and ordered some food to eat in their room.

"Chen'er, you are still in the growing season, eat a lot."

The past few days Fang An could only give Xiao Chen dry bread so this time he made Xiao Chen enjoy the side dishes.

"Thank you Master…" After saluting Fang An, Xiao Chen started picking up one side dish after another with his chopsticks.

Fang An was amazed to see Xiao Chen's ability to use chopsticks at his age, usually only noble children were good at using chopsticks at the age of 5. The two of them didn't speak a word while eating, one of the etiquette that Fang An had taught Xiao Chen was not to speak while eating.

Every time night fell, Fang An would start coughing lightly. Xiao Chen looked at him worriedly but Fang An said that he was fine, even though Xiao Chen was aware that Fang An's condition was serious. As a result of an injury from a sparring in his youth, Fang An suffered internal injuries that were difficult to describe.

Xiao Chen could clearly remember Fang An's deteriorating condition, ten years from now Fang An would no longer be able to get out of bed and finally died two years later.

"This time I won't let Master suffer the same fate…" Xiao Chen resolved in his heart, with the knowledge he had from his previous life it would not be impossible to cure Fang An's condition.

After dinner Fang An sat cross-legged on his bed to do some breathing exercises while Xiao Chen asked permission to go have a look. Fang An was used to seeing Xiao Chen, who only slept for a few hours every day. Xiao Chen said it was one of his habits from a long time ago.

Previously, when Xiao Chen saw that Silver Moon Inn was not crowded with visitors, he breathed a sigh of relief thinking that the events that happened in his previous life might not happen tonight, that was why Xiao Chen was able to eat heartily.

It was just that after dinner, Xiao Chen felt uneasy. Even though it was already dark, it could be said that the night was still young and the possibility for something to happen was still great. That was why Xiao Chen had descended to the ground floor to observe the situation.

The ground floor of Silver Moon Inn looks like a tavern, there are a few tables and chairs to sit down to enjoy a meal. Xiao Chen then found that one of the previously empty tables was now occupied by a man who looked to be in his 30s with red hair and carrying a sword openly on his back.

The red-haired man was not alone but was holding a baby who was crying loudly.

"You don't have any milk?" The red-haired man asked the maid, a worried look on his face as he looked at the baby in his arms.

"Ah, we don't provide drinks like that..." The waiter looked confused and he was also worried that the baby's crying would disturb the guests who were staying.

The servant wanted to chase away this red-haired man but seeing the man's stature that was so fierce and also seemed to be a swordsman made him not dare to do it.

Xiao Chen walked up to the red-haired man before climbing onto one of the chairs. The red-haired man was confused by Xiao Chen's attitude.

"Son, what are you doing?" the man's voice became quieter, even though he had a rough face but his attitude was quite gentle towards children.

Xiao Chen didn't answer but started playing with his facial expressions at the baby, seeing Xiao Chen's ridiculous attitude, the baby slowly stopped crying and even started laughing.

"Good child…" Xiao Chen stroked the baby's head gently, that's when he realized the baby's body temperature was so low.

The red-haired man didn't know how to react but he thanked Xiao Chen. The man felt that Xiao Chen was a smart kid.

"Uncle, this little baby is feeling so cold, she needs not only a warm drink but also thicker clothes." Xiao Chen explained before looking at the maid beside him, "Isn't one of the inn workers a mother? Please ask for his help to give milk to this little baby."

The maid was taken aback by Xiao Chen's question, but she immediately realized that one of the maids in this place could indeed breastfeed this little baby. Not long after the maid in question came and did not mind breastfeeding the baby.

"Thank you…" The red-haired man gave a few coins to the maid who was nursing the baby, Xiao Chen knew that the amount of money was not small for an inn maid.

"Smart boy, Thank you for helping uncle…" The man then looked at Xiao Chen and had admiration in his eyes, "What's your name?"

"Uncle, my name is Xiao Chen."

The man patted Xiao Chen's shoulder lightly, "Good name… Uncle's name is…"

"Lin Fan! We've come for your head!"

Before the red-haired man had finished speaking, someone kicked open the door of the inn and shouted loudly. The red-haired man's face turned to one of anger.

"Lin Fan you think you can get away with killing one of the higher ups of the Red Scorpion Guild?!"

A group of people entered the inn, their number barely reached twenty people and everyone carried weapons such as swords, machetes and spears. Everyone released a large, murderous aura aimed at the red-haired man.

The inn maid became terrified while Xiao Chen looked calm. The red-haired man, Lin Fan noticed Xiao Chen's composure and was quite impressed.

"Lin Fan? Why is this name familiar?" When he heard the people who had entered the inn addressing the red-haired man as Lin Fan, Xiao Chen had a feeling he had heard of it but couldn't manage to remember it.

One thing Xiao Chen understood was that the incident that had happened to this inn in his previous life had to do with this Lin Fan. What made Xiao Chen still calm was that he could judge that the dozen or so people who entered this inn didn't have high levels of martial arts and were no match for Fang An.

"My earlier worries seemed unfounded…" thought Xiao Chen while shaking his head slowly.

"Chen'er, can uncle ask you a favor?"

The maid who had previously been nursing the baby had already run away after handing the tiny baby back into Lin Fan's arms. Xiao Chen understood that the help Lin Fan wanted was to look after the little baby.

Xiao Chen held the little baby in his tiny arms before walking away from the place that would soon become a battlefield.

The smile on Lin Fan's face disappeared and he released a strong killing aura from his body, making it hard for those who felt it to breathe.
