Austin had practiced the skills that Violet had taught him. He was now well-versed in illusion and Magical Aura-changing Skills. In general, he had now becan expert at concealing his vital energy.
It was safe to say that Austin was now a self-cultivator, and he was so good that no ordinary person could see through his real strength for he had hidden his vital energy force perfectly.
Therefore, in the eyes of the people, Austin was a messy person with a low cultivation base who knew nothing about martial arts.
He was a little beggar.
"Little sister, what is a beggar doing in this wilderness? Something is wrong with this person. What do you say? Doesn't he seem suspicious?" The middle-aged man holding a shield in his hand said to the woman while studying Austin with a cold gaze.
"Our task is to escort... We can't be distracted, and we're on an important mission, so we can't afford to make any mistakes. We can't let any suspicious people go. We would rather kill the wrong person than miss an enemy. How about we..." He continued, hinting at his companions to kill Austin while making a beheading gesture with his palm.
"This mountain's range is tens of thousands of meters wide. Once we leave this place, we still have a long walk ahead of us before making it to the border of the Elite Holy Kingdom. It is a dangerous journey and we must be alert. We should be careful since we have no room for mistakes. So | agree with you..." The savage man with a saber on his back looked askew at Austin.
"As far as | can observe, this brat's cultivation base is low, and he has no flesh, he is too thin. | don't think he is a spy..." Upon hearing their conversation, Austin was lost in thought.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt‘Elite Holy Kingdom? Isn't it one of the biggest holy kingdoms on the South Continent of the PrMartial World?" Austin contemplated.
Previously when Austin had met Kirkland from the Thunder Sect at the Grand Desolation Mountain, He claimed that he cfrom the great sect of Elite Holy Kingdom. Therefore, Austin was quite impressed and remembered the Elite Holy Kingdom.
"But who are they escorting?" Through the corners of his eyes, Austin could not help glancing at the fancy carriage.
'So these people are escorting simportant person to the Elite Holy Kingdom?' Austin thought.
"I think we should slay this suspicious beggar," proposed the middle-aged man with a huge shield on his back, a mean glint appearing in his bloodthirsty eyes.
"I agree with you..." echoed the emaciated middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man had a pale, thin face and sharp piercing eyes like a vulture.
"Perhaps we're being paranoid and this brat is just a beggar. But | really don't care; if you want to kill him | have no objection," the black-robed man said with a shrug of his shoulders.
Austin was amused yet speechless at their dialogue.
He stared at the group with a playful look in his eyes.
The people who were having a conversation about Austin were at the premium stage of the Sky Realm. Although they were highly skilled, Austin could still knock them down effortlessly. So he was not fazed despite hearing them talk about murdering him; he was relaxed and carefree and really didn't care.
However, there was a fleeting killing intent in his eyes.
Austin always followed one principle; if a person did not offend him, he would never cause them any trouble; but if someone provoked him, he would show them no mercy.
"Don't kill innocent people indiscriminately!" a short, gentle and delicate young woman said firmly.
"Why do you want to embarrass and kill him? He doesn't pose any threat to us and besides, he is just a harmless beggar." "Ha ha ha! Young sister, | understand. You must have seen this little beggar, looking young and handsome, with white and tender skin. You must have a crush on this fair and handsbeggar..." The middle-aged man with a shield laughed wildly.
"You don't even know him, but you are pleading with us to keep him alive? | presyou must be really attracted to him. You want to have fun with him, don't you? Ha haha... You can't help it." The woman blushed instantly. She gave the man a glare and spat in his face. Turning to Austin, she sized him up with her big, bright eyes. Her eyes softened as she smiled at him.
"Now that you have mentioned it, he is really good-looking. He looks as handsas the young men from the rich families in the big cities. It is a pity that he is a beggar in exile." After she finished speaking, she waved at Austin.
"Little brother, cover here," she offered.

‘No way! Is she really interested in me? But we have just met." He stood still, with his eyes fixed on her.
The woman chuckled and remarked, "It turns out he is really shy..." The gentle young woman laughed and jumped in the air; gliding like a spring swallow sweeping the water and falling, she landed and paused in front of him.
The scent of orchid wafted through Austin's nose.
The next moment...
The gentle young lady gathered her voice and activated sspecial skill, so only Austin could hear her.
"Young man, just cand join us. Those men are merciless. If you don't cwith us, they will kill you in the blink of an eye..." she warned.
She then winked at him to convince him to believe that she was trying to save him.
All of a sudden, many thoughts flooded through Austin's mind.
'So she wasn't attracted to me. Did she say those words only to help me? | met a good person?’ he wondered.
Austin remained silent, curious to know what the men were going to do with him. He didn't even think of them as his opponents for they were too weak for him. If they really attacked him, he would kill them all in a minute.
