Just as the man had spoken, the petite, sweet young girl behind him suddenly cried out in surprise, "Leader, look, there are other people in the Nemesis Forest besides us!"
What?
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. They then turned towards the direction that the girl was pointing at.
Instantly, two figures emerged from the bushes in front of them.
It was a man and a woman! The woman looked to be in her twenties. Her green robes set off her delicate features and her eyes were as clear as water. Her fine black hair fluttered gently in the night breeze.
However, the man in flax-colored robes was not a lecher. Regardless of how beautiful she was, she was nothing more than a fleeting cloud to him. After death, she would turn into a pile of dirt. However, the thing that made him unable to turn his eyes away was the woman's terrifying aura! He found it hard to imagine how such a young woman could carry such a powerful aura like that of a ruler!
She's a powerful cultivator!
The man in long robes narrowed his eyes at the thought of this and quickly turned his gaze away.
Following closely behind the woman was a young man with a broken arm. This young man's features were delicate and pretty. His skin was fair and he looked a little bashful. His eyes were not as clear and cold as the woman's. Instead, they were as clear as water.
If the woman gave off a feeling of shock, this young man gave off a sense of comfort.
"What a pity..."
When the sweet girl saw Xia Linyu's empty sleeves, she shook her head with some regret. Her eyes were filled with pity as she said, "What a pity. Such a beautiful youth is actually crippled. The world is really unfair."
"Lan'er!"
The handsome man's expression changed and he quickly stopped Gu Lan from speaking. He then exclaimed with a stern look on his face, "Don't be rude!"
Only then did Gu Lan return to her senses. Her sweet features instantly displayed a sense of shame. After all, this young man is crippled and must be in great pain. However, she had torn open this scar in front of him. If it had been someone with a slightly more impatient temper, they would not have been so courteous by now.
"It's alright."
Xia Linyu looked at the shamefaced Gu Lan and waved his hand. He then smiled gently, "I'm used to it so I don't mind."
Gu Lan felt even more embarrassed when she saw that the young man was not bothered by her mistake. She said with an ashamed look on her face, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to rub salt into your wound. I apologize. By the way, why are you in the Nemesis Forest?"
Xia Linyu smiled, "My sister and I have rushed here from the Cloudy Wind City. We want to go to the main city and the Nemesis Forest is the only way. However, we've been here for almost ten days now. Because we don't have a map, we haven't been able to find our way out."
Gu Lan's eyes lit up, "Little Master, we've also lost our way in the Nemesis Forest. I wonder if you could travel with us? There's strength in numbers, and we can find the exit earlier. "
"This …"
Xia Linyu was shaken. He turned towards Gu Ruoyun and asked hesitantly, "Sister, what's your decision? I'll listen to you. "
Hearing this, Gu Ruoyun fell silent for a moment before turning her gaze towards the group before her.
"How long have you been here? And how much do you know about the Nemesis Forest? "
Just as she spoke, the initially silent, handsome man finally spoke, "We were being hunted by enemies and were forced into the Nemesis Forest. We don't know much about the Nemesis Forest and I only know one route. Unfortunately, there's a very powerful spiritual beast at the end of that path. We can't go through it."
