Not A Cultivator - Chapter 114
“Stupid!! What are you doing here!?”
The one who dared to shout to Feng Ao Xiu was Ning Ruo. Usually talking impolitely to an Ancient Earth Realm deserved to be killed. However, it can’t be helped, Feng Ao Xiu’s action was truly unpredictable. Even her father doesn’t have any intention to scold Ning Ruo, but also looked at Feng Ao Xiu with troubled eyes. After all, the Cloud Moon Palace did lend some of their best disciples and member to fight alongside them. But, if Feng Ao Xiu was here, isn’t it the same as suicide and kill your own soldiers?
“Young Master Ao Xiu… What about the war?” Yang Xue Yi couldn’t help but ask. “Will my father be all right?”
“It’s okay! I got it all covered!” said Feng Ao Xiu unconcernedly as he took a seat at the sofa. Then, unlike the other the way he sits was too lazy, he drooped all the way back like he wants to sleep.
Meanwhile, the others were all tensed up. All of their back was straight, and their feet could not keep still. They must be wary of any sudden attack of the enemy. After all, in a war, anything could happen.
Seeing, Feng Ao Xiu sits so comfortably like this, the others were wondering if the situation was not as bad as they thought it would be. But, the messenger was reporting a totally different thing than what you expect Feng Ao Xiu’s expression gonna be?
“Brother-in-law, what do you mean by that?” It was the First Young Master of the Yang Clan who asked.
“Does that mean we already won?” asked the Second Brother.
“It can’t be… Right? It would not be this fast…” said the Third Brother.
“Relax! The war is still not over yet, but it’s still alright!” Feng Ao Xiu said as he waved his left hand.
“Second Young Master, is it all right for you to be here?” asked Head Guard Cui. “Without you joining the battle, I’m afraid the war will continue on…”
“Ah… It’s okay! Don’t worry, it will be over soon.” Feng Ao Xiu said as he yawned.
for visiting.
But… What do you mean by it will over soon?”
“Just relax…”
Head Guard Cui and the others were sweating profusely. No matter what question they asked, it was always replied by “it’s okay”, “relax”, or “don’t worry” But how could it be okay without you joining the battle? How could we relax knowing we’re going to lose? Much less not to worry.
However, two men were having a different attitude than the other.
“I see!” Feng Zhong Tian laughed, “Good! There’s nothing to worry about then!”
“Sighh… I worried for nothing then.” Qian Hui laughed “Now I can sleep soundly!”
[Wait!! You both were relaxing as well! Can’t you guys read the situation?]
Seeing the two men follow Feng Ao Xiu and relaxed in their seat, the others felt like they want to punch these guys in the face. How could these men pretend like the war never happen in the first place?
“Young Master Feng, at least, please tell us what plan do you have in mind?”
This time it was the Sect Master of the Cloud Moon Palace who asked. Unlike the others, he was calm and collected. If Feng Ao Xiu dared to be this lazy, it means that he got a plan.
“That… You can see it for yourself in a moment.”
“I see… I’ll look forward to what gracious plan Young Master Feng has in store.”
[So that’s what happened…] Knowing Feng Ao Xiu got a plan to take care of this. All of them put down their guards, but not by much. After all, they were still worried, what kind of plan is it other than fighting Ma himself to overcome this situation? As far as they were concerned, there was no such thing.
As for Feng Zhong Tian and Qian Hui, just by looking at Feng Ao Xiu’s expression, they were able to calm down. The one with the higher chance of dying was Feng Ao Xiu himself, he’ll be the first one to die. So, if Feng Ao Xiu can relax, it means, it was all under control. If someone weaker could relax, why can’t they?

As the one leading the front lines, Yang Wen Jia was in a deep struggle.
Should he launch an all-out attack now and eliminate the rest of Fanged Wolf Temple as soon as possible? Or should he switch to defence and wait until his future son-in-law arrive? Would it be better if he keeps doing it like this with a balance of offence and defence?
The more he thinks about it, the more he can’t decide. Attacking means more flaw in the formation, the alliance soldier will be grouped and move together, then more people would die in the hands of Ma Zhong. Defending means fewer people of Fanged Wolf Temple would die, they’ll also lose the advantageous position. In the end, it would still be a loss.
At this time, a messenger came from behind and reported to Yang Wen Jia.
“I got a message from the Second Young Master!!”
“From son-in-law!!” Yang Wen Jia beamed. “Quick tell me what it is…”
“Retreat!” said the messenger.
“All Right!” Yang Wen Jia nodded. “What else?”
The messenger curled his lips in helplessness. Then, he said, “Ummm… that’s it!”
“…Huh!?”
“I… I also don’t know…” The messenger scratched the back of his head. “Second Young Master did not give me any other details than that. Even though I ask him for more information, he wouldn’t tell any.”
Yang Wen Jia bit his lip. Blood dripped from the edge of his mouth before he shouted, “Retreat!”
“What retreat!?”
“Commander Yang, are you sure?”
The battlefield was filled with various kinds of veterans from different types of background. If they know one thing to do, it was not retreating. Not only they will lose the advantageous position they have, but also to suffer the biggest loses from the other options. Besides, they did not set up any other ambush or trap, it’ll be meaningless.
Of course, Yang Wen Jia knows that as well. Retreating will only make thing much worse than it should be. But, he has blind faith toward Feng Ao Xiu. All this time, Feng Ao Xiu’s prediction had been correct.
“It doesn’t matter! Retreat now!”
The veteran soldiers nodded. In the end, they still had to follow Yang Wen Jia’s order.
“Where should we retreat? What formation should we use?” Ask one of the men captains.
It was not weird to ask this question, considering they have no plan to retreat in the first place. All the main soldiers were here, it was a do or die situation.
Yang Wen Jia also wants to cry, Feng Ao Xiu didn’t provide any other additional information. It was Feng Ao Xiu who proposed this plan, he did it detailly from the start. But he did not even say anything for the way out.
“Just rush straight to the base… No plan or formation needed!”
Hearing those words, the veterans opened their mouths to inform their dissatisfaction.
“Commander Yang, please think it through one more time!”
“Running straight to the base is dangerous. Our movement can be easily predicted, we’ll be surrounded!”
“Retreating without formation is also dangerous. Without any proper defence, all of us will be killed!”
Yet, Yang Wen Jia persisted. “It doesn’t matter! Speed is essential! What matter is that we do it as fast as possible!” But, for Yang Wen Jia. It’s better to do it quickly. That way, they could join with Feng Ao Xiu as well.
The veterans were disgruntled, but they still have to obey. They shouted. “Turn around quickly, retreat!”
“Huh? They’re retreating…” said one of the Fanged Wolf Temple Member.
“But… Isn’t this too weird?” said another. “And also without any formation…”
“Tch, this is too easy… What are they planning?” said Ma Zhong.
