The Geared Immortal

Chapter 951

(Unedited)

…

Standing in the middle of a few armed men and mages chanting spells, Shin Jiao has a calm expression on his face. He already noticed Cao Binyu helping the woman so he heaves a sigh of relief. And now his focus is on these people charging towards him.

Looking at the armed men and their skills, Shin Jiao could not help but shake his head. He feels like he is bullying these people as their level of strength is far lower than him. But he also feels that they deserve to suffer for their arrogance.

And so without any suspense, one figure after another came flying towards the walls in the alley. The mages that were chanting their spells were easily knocked out by flying pebbles.

It only took a few minutes before a single figure was left standing in the middle which awed the onlookers.

Shin Jiao walks to these drunken young masters which seem to have sobered up a bit after seeing the fight.

It seems that they realized that they have met an expert and that if they did not play their cards right, then it would mean their death or even be crippled just like what happened to their men.

"You… You, what… what do you want?" one of them who is standing in the front said with a shaking tone.

Shin Jiao did not say anything but his body turned into a blur. That young master was sent flying in the air with a painful cry escaping his mouth. Shin Jiao did not hesitate to do the same thing to the other young master which was sent flying by him with ease.

The people were flabbergasted and were afraid to come closer at this scene.

One of the guards lying on the ground while groaning in pain lifted his gaze and angrily glared at Shin Jiao.

"You… you have offended many noble houses in the Capital, you just wait to die… I assure you that you will meet your death not long later…" he said as he slowly lost consciousness.

Shin Jiao did not bother with the aftermath and just walks to Cao Binyu and the young woman in her arms.

The young woman is still crying as she seemed really afraid of what had just happened. When those men tore her clothes apart her mind was struggling, she would rather die than get humiliated like this. But the expression of her sick mother came to her mind making her frown and her desire to die vanishes. She would just grit her teeth and let it get over with. After she helped her mother get well, she would just stay with her until the end of her mother's life.

After that… there is no after. Once her mother died, she would also kill herself.

That was already running in her mind. But then suddenly someone saved her which made her feel hope in her heart.

"Are you both okay?" Shin Jiao asked.

Hearing the words from a young man, the crying young woman slowly lifted her head and saw a very handsome-looking man. She bit her lips and the slight embarrassment made her cheek blush.

"Hey, Si Ji… You know that she is half-naked, right? Why are you looking at her like that?" Cao Binyu teasingly said with a smile.

Although she is afraid of retaliation from those noble houses, yet upon seeing the strength of the young man in front of her, she felt confident in her heart.

She knew that this young man is hiding something deep, something strange that she could not explain.

As she assisted the young woman to stand, the two decided to follow her to her home.

On the way, Shin Jiao learned that the young woman's name is Qing. She and her mother lived alone ever since her father died in an accident with a noble family.

Luckily the two of them were not implicated. But ever since her father died, they did not have a single good day even after growing up. Her mother is very protective of her. She never let her go out without some strange makeup on her face.

Her mother told her of the danger of the nobles outside, so she too is scared. But she could not help it today and was forced to go out even forgetting to put on her special makeup. And because of this, she almost lost her life and chastity.

The three soon reached a small house in a poor district of the city.

Shin Jiao immediately noticed a woman lying in bed while coughing intermittently. She looks middle-aged with her thin and weak body.

"Qin'er… who… who are these nobles?" the woman in the bed said with a slightly trembling voice.

Fear could be seen in her eyes while looking at Shin Jiao and Cao Binyu. This fear is engraved in her heart as she clearly saw how those noble treated her husband like an animal.

When Qing saw the worry in her mother's eyes, she quickly sits beside her on the bed.

"Mother… It's fine… They are… they are the people who helped me." Qing said while patting the hand of her mother.

She could tell that her mother is truly afraid of the nobles.

"Auntie… we are here to help you. We are students from Alto Magus Academy… I'm Cao Binyu, and this is Si Ji…" Cao Binyu greeted with a faint smile.

Cough… cough…

Qing's mother coughed as she felt a bit weak, so Qing slowly laid her on the bed.

"Mam, I will check your condition, okay?" Shin Jiao suddenly walk forward and without a word, grabbed Qing's mother's wrist.

Everyone was a bit taken aback but they stayed silent for a while.

"Hmm… Her lungs are weak. There are traces of pneumonia… She needs a lot of rest, and takes some antibacterial medicine… She also needs to nourish her body with some herbs…" Shin Jiao muttered.

He carefully put Qing's mother's hand down and hid it under the blanket.

Shin Jiao grabs something under his sleeves and secretly takes out something from his dimension.

He took out a small pill bottle filled with antipyretic medicine and another bottle of low-dose antibiotics and gave it to Qing.

"Make her take from this bottle one tablet three times a day after a meal, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening. Until her fever is down…" Shin Jiao instructed while writing it on a small sheet of white paper.

"While this one, she should also take three times a day… for one week…"

After giving his instructions, he gave the medicine to Qing.

"I will return tomorrow, for the follow-up checkup. Plus, I advise you not to go out no matter what happens, okay?" Shin Jiao reminded. 

Suddenly he stops and thought for a while.

"I know that this will inconvenience the both of you, but I decided to set up a barrier in this place. I'm sorry but you cannot go out and no one can get inside… This barrier will last long until tomorrow when I come back…" Shin Jiao said after considering the situation.

"But… What should we eat here?" Qing suddenly said with a helpless expression.

"Do not worry; I will leave some supplies in here." Shin Jiao said as he took something out of his sleeves.

When one food after another came out of his sleeves, the three women showed stupefied expressions on their faces.

They did not know where those foods came from and how those things would fit inside Shin Jiao's sleeves, so they were all flabbergasted.

"You… how did you that?" the stupefied Cao Binyu could not help but asked as she grabs Shin Jiao's sleeves.

She even put her hand inside of it and then even has the audacity to grab Shin Jiao's robe and check his body little by little.

However, her action made her blush as she realized what she was doing.

When she felt Shin Jiao's firm body inside that robe, she felt a bit hot on her face.

But Cao Binyu shook her head and was determined to ask this question while looking at Shin Jiao straight to his face.

"That my girl… is my secret." Shin Jiao said while flicking her forehead.

With a grumbling tone, Cao Binyu rubs her slightly aching forehead and sits on a wooden chair. She casually picks up a fruit from the pile and bit on it.

When she feels the sweetness of the strange fruit and its fleshy texture, she could not help but take another bite of it.

"This… this is too good… Where… where did you get this fruit?" Cao Binyu asked as she grabs another fruit on the table.

"Woman… These things should be given to them. I can give you one if you want to. We have to go now… Qing's mother needed some rest and we are being a nuisance." Shin Jiao said as he stands up and pushes Cao Binyu out of the door.

After he and Cao Binyu walks out of the small house, Shin Jaio threw out some array flags and wrote something in the air. 

A slight glow appears covering the house and the two left without a worry.
