Transmigrated Into The Book

"Brother! Brother!"

Yuan squinted his lids and welcomed the new sight. The first thing he saw was the youth waving his hands in front of his face. He tried to push his hands and sat up. "Feng?" 

Feng elated after hearing his name. "Brother, you're sleeping like a log," Feng lifted up the blanket from the male and rolled it to fold.

Yuan rubbed his two eyes and made a big yawn. "What time is it?" he asked.

"Brother, it's almost noon!"

How did the two end up together? After asking some small details from Feng, Yuan went back and asked the kid to accompany him for a while. Since his grandmother was held or killed by an unknown man, he was not safe anymore.

Yuan was afraid that these men might come back and kill Feng too. They find a perfect Inn to stay for the night after taking long journeys. He was still feeling uneasy because of his negligence. 

It's been a week and he still couldn't find Xianyu back. He stood up from the bed and put on his robe. After seeing its crimson color in front of the mirror, he remembered Yi Lin. 

Yi Lin was brave enough to oppose his father in front of him, but Yuan knew how soft Yi Lin was. Even though he was always picking fights when they were still young, Yi Lin still had a weakness and it's funny if it was him. 

"Brother, red really suits you well, ehh" Feng commented after fixing his bed. 

Yuan gave him a pat on the head and asked. "What do you want for breakfast?" 

Feng crossed his arms and snorted. "Brother, it's already noon, it's not breakfast anymore." 

Yuan chuckled and pinched his nose, "You sure talk a lot, Feng" he let go then picked up his sword from the table. Gripping its handle very tight, he didn't even expect that after years of throwing this weapon away, he would use it again. 

When they were about to walk towards the door to come downstairs, loud footsteps echoed in the hallways. Yuan snapped something in his thoughts like a bad feeling. "Feng, don't move," he whispered.

Dumbfounded, Feng hid behind him, gripping his sleeves very tight. If the people who took his grandmother were here, then he's dead.

"Master! Master!" 

The heavy and tight atmosphere became light and calm when he heard the familiar voice. It was the Inn owner. Yuan gestured to Feng to stay on the bed while he opened the door.

"Master, sorry for disturbing you!" The Inn owner gasped and caught his breath, he was sweating real hard. It seems like he dashed upstairs right away .

"What's wrong?" Yuan asked. 

The other man finally held himself back together. "There are people downstairs," he explained. "They are looking for you, I don't know how they find you but--" before he could finish Yuan talked. "Please stay here for a while and protect the child sitting on the bed, I will pay you triple," he walked away, not even waiting for a reply.

The Inn owner scratched the back of his head and went inside. Seeing Feng who was also looking at him, both of them shrugged their shoulders down. 

Yuan went downstairs to see who it was. Gripping his sword in one hand, ready to fight any danger. 

The lively atmosphere from downstairs welcomed him. Aside from the rooms upstairs, this Inn also provides food for the customers. The 1st floor is like an eatery. Yuan roamed his eyes and scanned the faces, from the figures going in and out. The ones who are enjoying their meals on the table and their companions. 

Yuan rubbed the back of his head. There are no suspicions after all. This calm feeling didn't last when he snapped back. What if the Inn owner was a fake one? What if those unknown men came and lured the owner to get Feng.

He left Feng in the room with the owner. Yuan turned around and was going to head back up when someone grabbed his arms. "Yuan," the voice called out.

To his surprise, Yuan pushed him. The male fell on the floor. After that, another male approached them and helped the other male. "Idiot! What the heck is your problem?!" he cussed at Yuan.

Hearing his normal language and tone of voice, Yuan mumbled. "Sun Wei?" He turned his eyes to the other man helping Sun Wei to stand up. "Qi Zhou?" he mumbled again.

Sun Wei gripped Yuan's collar with his unpleasant reaction. "The heck are you, are you stupid? You dare push me?! You wanna fight?!" he snorted with his glaring eyes.

Qi Zhou moved Sun Wei away by pulling them apart. "Enough ignorance, we are not here to fight," he said. That settled the two men.

Yuan pulled his collar and fixed his robe. "I don't have time to fight you," he paused. After realizing the two here, something is missing, no, someone is missing. His eyes widened. "Where's Xianyu?!" he exclaimed.

The two stiffened and turned silent. They have not really come here to fight, they need another hand for help. "We need your help,"Qi Zhou said.

Yuan didn't waste another minute and asked. "Where is he? What happened? Please tell me everything!"

Qi Zhou felt remorse from his tone, but this is not the perfect place to blabbed out everything. "This is not the right place to tell you," 

Yuan got what the male wanted to say so they headed upstairs. The Inn owner bowed his head before leaving them in the room. Sun Wei used his power to seal the door, for their privacy purposes.

Seeing Feng, Yuan told the two that it's okay because the child can be trusted and was also a victim.

They sat across the table, uneasiness crawled inside the atmosphere. Yuan couldn't help but worry so much. He didn't know that even in these two's power, Xianyu can be easily snatched away.

"Please tell me what happened, I don't want to waste another second here," Yuan proclaimed.
