Chapter 256: Movement
Tie Hongyan first moved in the direction where Guan Wenliang was pulling her, then she suddenly exerted force to break free from his hand. Then she helped Wu Xunsheng, who was resisting Guan Wenliang with his arms, to break free faster, and then she pulled Wu Xunsheng up and ran towards the East Riding and Shooting Field.
Guan Wenliang leaped in front of the two children and said, "Stop making trouble and follow me!"
"If Master Fei is really not here, why don't you let us take a look?" Tie Hongyan asked.
"Why would you go see it if you're not here?"
"Whenever you blocked our way, we saw it back!"
"You're not that fast. The East Riders Shooting Range isn't close. You'll be late if you go there."
"What time did you miss?"
"Master Zhang is waiting for you. You will be late if you don't go now!" Guan Wenliang said anxiously.
"How about I go and take a look alone, and you go to the Xiqi Shooting Range with him first?" Wu Xunsheng asked Tie Hongyan.
"Okay, you better take a good look! If you meet Master Fei, tell him where I'm going." Tie Hongyan said with a little regret. Guan Wenliang thought that Wu Xunsheng was just a sparring partner, and it didn't matter if he was a little late, as long as the young clan leader arrived. Tie Hongyan was the young clan leader after all. Guan Wenliang considered that since he couldn't force her to go to the West Riding Shooting Range with him by force, he might as well agree to let Wu Xunsheng take a look first, otherwise he didn't know how long he would have to tangle with Tie Hongyan. He said to Wu Xunsheng helplessly: "Then hurry up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Xunsheng ran away. At this time, Guan Wenliang remembered that Wu Xunsheng might not be familiar with the way to the West Riders Shooting Range, so he shouted: "Wait, do you know how to get to the West Riders Shooting Range?"
Wu Xunsheng was indeed not familiar with the way to the West Riding Shooting Field, but he thought that everyone knew they were going to the West Riding Shooting Field, so he could just ask for directions himself, so he responded: "I'll ask for directions myself!"
Guan Wenliang thought this was not a good idea and wanted to stop Wu Xunsheng, but Tie Hongyan immediately said, "Why don't I go take a look too? Then you can take us to the West Riders Shooting Range, right?"
"You can't go, come with me." When Guan Wenliang saw that Tie Hongyan wanted to go to the East Cavalry Shooting Range again, he pulled Tie Hongyan and walked towards the West Cavalry Shooting Range.
Wu Xunsheng walked a long way alone to the East Riding Shooting Field. When he arrived, he realized that what Guan Wenliang said was true. Fei Cunyi was indeed not waiting for them at the old place. He looked for other places nearby, but still did not see Fei Cunyi. So he returned along the original route and walked in the direction that Guan Wenliang had taken him and Tie Hongyan to.
When he came to a fork in the road, he didn't know which way to go, so he just asked someone and continued on his way. While he was asking for directions, a pair of eyes were looking at him in the distance, with curiosity flashing in their eyes, but he didn't know.
Wu Xunsheng didn't know when he started to feel footsteps behind him, but every time he looked back, he couldn't see anyone. He felt as if someone was following him, so he became alert and focused on the movements behind him. There were various plants planted on both sides of the road. He had already thought of the possibility that the person following him was hiding in the plants, but he didn't want to act rashly and directly lure the person following him out, because luring him out would not do him any good. If the person was just following him and didn't intend to harm him, it would be fine not to lure the person out; if the person was determined to harm him, even if he was summoned, it would still be disadvantageous to him.
