Xianxia: Why am I here?

Chapter 7: Successful Escape

“These people have messed up my already complicated life, but one thing is certain, I can’t go back to the gang anymore. It is important to find a place to hide and heal my wounds first.”

After having killed the two people Wang was already aware of what he had done and despite having escaped beyond the river, his body was shaking nonstop.

He kept talking to himself silently seemingly wanting to convince himself that what he did was for the sake of survival. It took him long enough to be able to calm down and his body stops trembling at the same time, he was relieved of his experience since he crossed over. In the end, he came to one conclusion that his life was the most important.

He had nothing on him of value thus he was regretting not having brought even some food with him but that did not stop him from locating some hidden location to set up camp.

At this moment, he threw away all his distracting thoughts as his sight seemed to be focused on something else. Who the people that tried to kill him was is something he could not figure out as he could tell from their dress up they were not from the gang.

With the level of White Tiger Fist, he had reached he could indeed be capable of causing some real damage to adult men but he was not sure whether he could survive in front of practitioners with real skills.

He reckoned that the guys he killed could have been very much for him to handle even if they were at their peak form.

.....

He also thought his strength was not strong enough to cope and perhaps he might even have died at their hands.

This feeling of helplessness made Wang clench his fists with some bitterness in his heart.

But he knew that one thing was very important, and that was to become stronger since only then could he be capable of doing some things which include dealing with the group of low-level enemies.

After having his wounds tended to Wang did not dare to stop and continued to dart away, at this time he had only one hope that is to escape with his life and avoid the gang managing to track him.

Since he was already prepared to leave the gang he didn’t seem to have second thoughts about some issues at all. His speed was reduced due to minor injuries and the fact that he no longer had the boost of adrenaline from before.

He was very fast, and in less than an hour, he had already stepped out of the territory of the Black Left Gang.

Even with the exertion of a lot of strength, he could barely cover this much distance before he searched for a place to rest. In any way, Wang had a choice when it came to escaping and he would not miss out on it just for any reason, in the end, he knew that the gang was the most dangerous place and he could not stay.

Everything that had happened from the word go seemed very suspicious but he knew there was no love without a reason, as a person being sold off to another family, he did not have any valuables, and when the gang took down his entourage they actually made him marry that woman that he suspected not to be the daughter of the gang leader.

In the beginning, perhaps he might whine about it and say he did not have a choice but that was not the case at all. Even when he was angry at the guys that attacked him, part of him was relieved that they had forced him into making such a choice.

After traveling for several miles he just realized he had no actual knowledge of where he had ended up and the distance ahead of him seemed like a huge desert ancient city.

Without money, it would be almost impossible to even walk past the city gate. In that way, he stopped in his tracks and started to think of ways out of this but nothing came to mind.

But it was not long before he heard some movements coming from behind him, making him very anxious, and at the same time cautious.

“Miss, are you sure that is the right direction to take?” Hearing this familiar voice did not assure him at all, but rather his first thought was, “Not good!”

He kept moving on the ground as sand was used to cover up his body and yet he barely saw two figures passing by in a hurry they did not seem to care much about him, or they did not know he was even around.

But that did not assure him at all, rather he himself hidden for longer, he had some experience for having stayed in the carriage during that half a-year period. In the end, he hesitated about following them to enter the city, but that thought was cut off instantly, as he had to survive in this world and the world itself was cruel.

He never had any choice in the issue of marriage, even though Ruruo was a beauty he always had this feeling something was wrong with her IQ.

That night of the wedding she clearly took advantage of her martial arts to get together tossing on the bed, yet she accused him of it the next day with actions after finding blood on the sheets.

In the end, Wang did not retaliate not because he was afraid of getting in trouble with her family but rather because he feared her, after all even his current self is probably nothing in her eyes.

From how she was practicing the sword every morning and releasing sword force, messing with her is no different from asking for a beating. In times like this, he felt that there was some kind of contradiction with his thought on some important issues such as retaliating, after all this a world where the biggest fist makes the rules.

In the end, Wang found himself staying in the sand for more than three hours before he saw another group entering the city but the number was too small for him to force himself inside,

Actually, he could more or less understand that being in a rush to enter the city might not be in any way very lately.

“It seems like the route towards the city is not accessible to me in any way.” Ruruo entering the city was already something he deemed a risk.

He chose to stay in the desert because of fear that he might be found by the gang and even if nothing could happen he thought it best to be safe.

In the end, he preferred his life more, as he thought that was why Ruruo had come in the same direction as him.

His biggest concern in the issue seemed to have come from that and thus even the idea of leaving for another city was also discarded as it could be like in the novels he read, bumping into her would be another big drama and if things went wrong he needed to be prepared for it.

It took some time before Wang eventually found the right group to enter the city with, and when he stepped into the huge city, it was already the last time arrivals before the gate closed. Even the group seemed to be headed by someone with some status and when the group reached the city gate it had taken some chat between some two big bosses for them to allow this group in. But he could swear he saw something like a pouch of money exchanging hands but that was not his business.

He was relieved but at the same time had some concerns yet in the end, did not sit around at all, but secretly slipped away from the group.

When he was moving in a certain direction he heard the sound of metal colliding which attracted his attention.

“Clang! clang! clang!”

The collisions kept getting higher the more he approached the place, at the same time in another location in the city, Ruruo seemed to have remembered something just after having relaxed for a while her face seemed to indicate she was thinking about something.

“When we left did you really not see any sights of Wang, I remember clearly informing him to be around but it seemed like he had also left. Well, let’s hope he also managed to leave that place too after all it might not be capable of surviving past tonight.” As she discussed this with Ruruo she never would have thought the person she was worried about did not even have her in his thoughts at all at this moment.

Indeed, Wang deemed both Ruruo and the family she was from dangerous and in that way kept his distance, even when talking he could feel that this was the kind of person capable of striking him dead.

But he had no choice but to enter the city, he did not want to meet up with Ruruo again, but this time, his thoughts were scattered he knew that staying outside the desert in this world he only read about in fantasy novels might not be a good idea, anything could cost him life.

Some days back before this marriage, Ruruo had just obtained some memories that seemed to entail her future and when she had a wedding, she did not try to resist because of having the thoughts that this marriage could indeed change her fate. It was not necessarily something she believed but rather wanted to create a variable for herself thus felt some guilt towards Wang.
