"You will have the strength to protect us only if you are full. If you only eat that pancake, you won't have the strength to fight." Feng Ye said as he stuffed the braised meat into his hand.
Seeing this, Xu Yan looked deeply at the child beside him, paused for a moment, and then said, "Thank you very much." Then he handed the braised meat wrapped in oil paper to everyone to share.
After eating, Feng Ye fell asleep next to Zhao Yang by the fire, and soon fell into a deep sleep. Compared to Feng Ye's peace of mind, Zhao Yang sat cross-legged, with his back straight, and closed his eyes to rest.
Looking at the two children, the mercenaries had curiosity in their eyes. Along the way, the two children surprised them. The younger one was innocent, but the older one was like a guard. Even though they were guarding him, he always stayed close to his little master without any slackness.
What kind of family could train such a small and dedicated guard? They were really curious.
The night passed in peace until the early morning, when everyone, after resting, continued on their journey on their swords. However, when they passed a hilltop, they were forced down by a group of wandering cultivators.
"Hand over all the money and property you have!" the group of independent cultivators shouted, staring at the members of the Thunderfire Mercenary Team with gloomy eyes.
Xu Yan put the two children behind him, asked his team members to protect them in the middle, and walked forward: "We are just passing by, why bother you, sir."
"Hahahaha! We are making things difficult for you, but so what? Hand over all your valuables if you're smart, otherwise, I'll take your lives!" The leading cultivator laughed and shouted, relying on the fact that they had more people than them.
Seeing this, Xu Yan made a gesture with one hand behind his back, and the next moment, he rushed forward first. The pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator was mixed with a fierce momentum, and when he swung his sword, he was as powerful as a tiger pouncing on its prey.
I saw a cold light refracted in the rising sunlight, and when a sharp scream was heard, a stream of blood splashed out and spread all over the ground.
The sudden attack made the casual cultivators panic, especially when they saw that the other party killed one of them in one move. The leading casual cultivator shouted, "Don't panic! Kill them and rob their property! Follow me!"
At a command, twenty or so wandering cultivators rushed forward, each holding a sharp knife in their hands. Murderous aura burst out from their bodies and filled the air.
"Protect the two children!"
At Xu Yan's command, four mercenaries stood guard beside Feng Ye and Zhao Yang, protecting them tightly between the four of them and preventing those wandering cultivators from hurting them in the slightest.
In the past, when they were on missions, some employers did not treat them as human beings, and ordered them around. When they encountered danger, they were pushed forward with no regard for their lives.
However, although these two children are young, they are kind-hearted. Even if they had not taken their commissions, they would have kept them safe, not to mention that the two of them had paid them so much commission.
Therefore, even if they lose their lives, they will try their best to protect them!
