Chapter 161 Can't Hear
'It's so noisy!'
These are the words that Fei Xi saw while reading the Iron Order's lips before she fainted.
???
She tried so hard to explain, but it was all to no avail.
After scolding her for being noisy, Tie Jiaoling directly pressed her pressure point to induce sleep.
Then, Fei Xi lost consciousness.
She regained consciousness while being jolted awake on horseback.
The raised leather of the saddle made her stomach very uncomfortable. If the meat pie from before hadn't already been digested, Fei Xi suspected she would have vomited at any moment.
Ironclad, riding a horse, moved at an extremely fast speed, completely disregarding her life or death behind him.
As soon as Fei Xi opened her eyes, her face was covered in dust kicked up by the horse's hooves.
"Cough cough cough!!! I'm going to die!"
With her upper body tied to the horse, Fei Xi let out a painful roar, arched her back, and kicked the horse's rump hard with her foot, instantly sliding off the horse's hind legs.
The startled horse suddenly raised its hind legs, about to kick Fei Xi in the head.
At the critical moment, a large hand grabbed her collar and a thunderous punch slammed into the horse's rump, instantly turning the horse's hindquarters into a bloody mess.
The horse let out a pitiful neigh, its body swayed, and it collapsed to the ground with a thud, dying shortly afterward.
After the ropes binding her were untied, Fei Xi collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
Although she couldn't hear anything, she could tell from the way the burly man in front of her was so angry that his beard was flying and he kept throwing punches at her that she knew how nasty he was cursing.
"Just kill me or torture me! Why torture me like this? I misjudged you. All the heroes of Thunderbolt Fortress are dead. The rest are just a bunch of despicable scoundrels!"
Enraged, Fei Xi's fist, its veins bulging, was about to smash into her nose when she glared at it, cursing as she lunged at the fist.
Iron Order was harsh on her, but she was even harsher on him!
The fierce fist was thrown for the first time, but was pulled back without drawing blood.
After his muscular chest heaved violently, he let out a long breath.
Fei Xi felt that the other person seemed to have said something to themselves, but she only understood a little lip reading and could only vaguely make out:
'Never mind... Young Master... likes it...'
What do you mean?
Before Fei Xi could think, the world spun around her, and she was lifted up by the Iron Order.
The horse died, and she got a new rider.
Bah! Although it was slightly better than being placed behind the horse, Fei Xi was still jostled around the whole way until her face turned pale.
However, once she senses that she can't take it anymore, she will stop and let her rest for a while.
After traveling for two hours, Fei Xi finally sat down at the table in the post station and received the treatment she deserved as a human being.
With a hot meal and delicious dishes, the Iron Order also ordered someone to prepare a comfortable carriage.
After washing her face and hands, Fei Xi picked out her favorite dishes, ate a few bites slowly, and then put down her chopsticks, while the person opposite her was enjoying their meal.
'It doesn't taste good?'
Tie Jiaoling put down his chopsticks, raised his thick eyebrows slightly, looked at her with a puzzled expression, and raised his hand to call the waiter waiting outside the door to come in.
"No need, I just can't eat." Fei Xi stopped the other person, frowning and looking at the other side with a puzzled expression.
"Iron Decree, what exactly do you want in order to let me leave?"
As soon as Fei Xi spoke, the rough-looking man opposite her fell silent again.
During the several rest stops along the way, Fei Xi did try to escape, but no matter what tricks she made, Tie Jiaoling, an outstanding graduate of Jianghu University, could thwart them all.
Iron Orders did not kill her, nor did they answer her questions; they simply focused on leading her on her journey.
After realizing that Tie Jiaoling had no intention of killing her, Fei Xi tested him with her horse, and sure enough, he didn't want her to die.
But Fei Xi couldn't understand why the Iron Order wanted to arrest her.
If it were about eliminating any potential threat, a cripple who couldn't even fight wouldn't have warranted Thunderbolt Fortress spending 100,000 taels of silver to buy her, especially since they didn't kill her.
It's no secret that there's a traitor in Tianshan who's selling out their unique skills. So it wouldn't make sense to look for her because of the death of the Iron Fortress Master.
Although the two sects are currently at odds, there is still a chance for cooperation in the face of a common enemy.
No matter how she tried to persuade him, the Iron Order ignored her. Annoyed by her nagging, the other party simply silenced her by applying a pressure point to her speech.
Fei Xi, who has always had everything go smoothly in her life, has never felt so frustrated before.
Stubborn men are so annoying!
"I stink! I need to take a shower!"
Unable to get a response, Fei Xi crossed her arms and spoke directly in a huff.
Fei Xi felt that someone across from her had cursed at her. Then the waiter came in and led her into a superior room.
Soon, the room was filled with white mist. Fei Xi sat in the wooden tub, holding a water ladle, and grimaced.
My body is covered in bruises, with hardly any healthy flesh left, and it hurts even more when it gets wet.
After examining the external injuries and confirming that they were all minor cuts and bruises, Fei Xi took a deep breath and gently placed three fingers of her right hand on the cun-kou (radial artery) of her left wrist.
A residual, domineering internal energy was rampaging through her Shaoyang meridian.
Previously, Tie Jiaoling had attacked too close to her, and Fei Xi, who was left unprotected, was naturally injured by the Thunder Fist.
……
Tie Liang, who was guarding the door, looked embarrassed, and his full beard trembled slightly with his unnatural expression.
Martial arts practitioners have exceptional hearing, so he naturally heard the strange hissing sounds coming from inside the door from time to time.
After a while, there was a lot of clanging and banging inside the door, then it suddenly became quiet.
Tie Liang waited for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, but the person still didn't come out of the room. A strange feeling arose in his heart, and he concentrated his inner energy on his ears to listen into the room.
There was not a trace of human presence in the room.
not good!
Realizing something was wrong, Tie Liang pushed open the door with one palm, and the door broke into several pieces with the force of his hand.
The room was completely visible at a glance, the windows were wide open, but there was no one there!
Without saying a word, Tie Liang jumped out of the window and chased after them.
Upon hearing the noise, the waiter looked as if he had lost his parents, staring at the broken door, tears welling up in his eyes.
Now the shopkeeper had another reason to deduct his wages.
These江湖 (jianghu) figures only care about their own fighting pleasure, and damaging houses and property is commonplace for them, completely disregarding the lives of ordinary people.
Fortunately, nowadays, all meals and lodging require strict registration, so there's no worry about not being able to find someone to compensate.
The waiter took out paper and pen, intending to record the damages and unpaid bills of the day's guests, when he suddenly heard the sound of running water coming from inside the room.
Looking in the direction of the sound, he was astonished to find that the girl who had come to the shop with the burly man with the bushy beard was climbing out of the bathtub.
"Shh, this is for the meal, compensation for the door, and the cost of your clothes. You've never even seen me before, understand?"
Fei Xi held two gold leaves in her hand and waved them in front of the waiter. The waiter nodded, took the gold leaves, and ran outside excitedly. In a short while, he returned with a clean set of waiter's clothes and handed them to Fei Xi.
After changing her clothes, Fei Xi calmly walked out of the room. She carried a tray, intending to sneak into the kitchen and hide in the car when the chefs went to the city to make purchases the next day.
As she was walking down the stairs, a burly young man approached her, his footsteps making the stairs creak.
Fei Xi bowed and lowered her head to let the guest go first.
The two brushed past each other, and the young man walking ahead suddenly turned around, striking her with lightning speed.
