"Senior Sister, are we really going to separate? Isn't it good to follow him now? If we were to leave like this, it would be troublesome if we were to encounter demonic beasts, "Ning Xue said to Ning Yan when they returned to their camp after dinner.
"Yes, we have our own mission. Now that we have reached the central region of Death Forest, we need to leave and search for the Death Shrine!" Ning Yan said with certainty.
"Then we can also go with that guy! Weren't they here for the Death Shrine as well? Furthermore, with him around, everyone will be much safer, "said Ning Wushuang.
"They are indeed looking for the Death Shrine. However, if we really find the Death Shrine, what do you think we will get?" Ning Yan looked at the two of them and said.
"This …" Both of them hesitated. Cheng Yu appeared to be very generous, but it was obvious that everyone was here for the Death Shrine. Currently, they had three groups of people.
If they were to really find the treasury, then the treasures would have to be divided into three portions. Most importantly, although Cheng Yu's side had the least amount of people, it was definitely the heaviest among the three portions.
Furthermore, if the Death Shrine was really hiding a large amount of treasures, they and Cangling Sect would only be able to get some scraps.
After understanding this, the two of them knew that it was necessary to search for treasures separately.
"But Senior Sister, if we were to separate, if they were to find the treasure, wouldn't we be left with nothing?" Ning Wushuang still didn't wish to be separated from Cheng Yu.
"Do you think there are only three of us in the Forest of Death? Because that strange forest had suddenly become normal, it was believed that there were many people who could enter this central area. No one dares to be certain that they would be able to find the treasure. Even if Cheng Yu possessed formidable strength, it would all depend on luck, "Ning Yan's thoughts were much clearer than Ning Xue and Ning Xue.
"Wouldn't it be more dangerous if we split up?" Ning Wushuang asked.
"That's why we are going to meet up with Big Senior Sister and Second Senior Sister. This way, we will have a greater chance," Ning Yan explained.
"Meet up? Senior Sister, this central region is so big. How are we going to find Big Senior Sister and Second Senior Sister? Furthermore, they might not have entered the central region. Isn't this like looking for a needle in a haystack? "Ning Wushuang didn't have any confidence in the situation of splitting up.
"Who said they are not in the central region?" Ning Yan smiled.
"Senior Sister? How do you know they're in the center? Are you in contact with her? That's impossible! "
Ning Xue said in shock.
"Although I can't contact them, I can confirm their location. Therefore, this is also the main reason why we must leave now!" Ning Yan said solemnly.
"Senior Sister, is this true? How did you do it? "Both of them were astonished. They never knew that Ning Yan actually had such ability.
"Look! This is the Remembrance Soul Pearl that Master gave me. Big Senior Sister and Second Senior Sister also have one. It contains our Soul Force. Through it, I can sense their location. Naturally, we will be able to find them. " Ning Yan took out a white pearl. Inside the pearl, there were three strands of different colored filaments.
"Soul Pearl? Why haven't I heard master mention it before? "Ning Xue didn't expect such a mystical pearl to exist, so she asked curiously.
"In the future, when you lead a team to carry out an important mission, master will naturally give it to you!" Ning Yan kept the pearl and said.
"So that's how it is!" The two of them immediately understood.
"Alright, this matter has been decided. Actually, I also understand the two of you. If it is fated, you will meet him again," Ning Yan looked at the two of them and said.
"Senior Sister, what are you talking about? I'm just worried about everyone's safety! "Ning Xue glanced at Ning Wushuang as her face turned red.
"Alright. I won't say anything more. Go and rest! Tomorrow morning, we will be leaving, "Ning Yan smiled.
"Senior Sister, are you reluctant to part with that fellow?" The two of them left Ning Yan's resting place. When they came out, Ning Wushuang looked at Ning Xue and asked.
"Who's reluctant to part with that scoundrel? Of course, I'm worried about Junior Sisters' safety. I think it's you who can't bear to part with that fellow! Otherwise, why would you be worried about being separated from him? "Ning Xue's face turned red again.
"I'm not. I'm the same as you. I'm just worried about Junior Sisters' safety. Alright.
It's getting late. Time to rest, "Ning Wushuang replied perfunctorily before running off.
"Hmph! One look and I know he's hiding something! "Looking at Ning Wushuang's gloomy back, Ning Xue muttered.
"Eh? Why is that scoundrel sitting there so late at night? " Just when Ning Xue was about to find a place to rest, she suddenly saw Cheng Yu sitting by the lakeside. She thought curiously.
"Oi! It's so late at night, yet you're not sleeping? Pretending to be deep in love? "Ning Xue walked to Cheng Yu's side and spoke.
"Aren't you still running around in the middle of the night like a thief?" Cheng Yu didn't turn back as he continued to stare at the bright moon in the sky.
Now that three months had passed, Cheng Yu had no idea how long it would take for him to return back. He felt very vexed. Therefore, he chose to sit here and stare at the moon.
Looking at the bright moon, it reminded him of the time when he had a date with Yang Ruoxue in the sky. He had no idea what those women were doing now. Were they thinking of him? Could it be that they had forgotten about him?
He really wished to fly back immediately. Although this trip to Death Forest had given him a bountiful harvest, for the sake of strength, for himself, for them, for his loved ones, for the future, he had to endure for a period of time. He must locate the Heavenly God Palace.
Furthermore, he always felt that these few palaces seemed to be related to him. Especially after the Art of Derivation From All Living Things appeared in the Maze Palace. Now that he had reached the final step, he must find out what secrets were hidden within.
"You're the one who came out to be a thief!" Ning Xue retorted. After that, she sat beside Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu didn't speak as he stared at the moon quietly.
When Ning Xue saw he had no intention to speak, she lifted up her head and looked at him. His side profile was so perfect. His eyes were filled with sorrow and reminiscence, causing Ning Xue's heart to tremble.
"Are you homesick?" Ning Xue asked softly.
"A little! After experiencing so many years, this is the first time I've felt this kind of concern! " Cheng Yu nodded. For thousands of years, he had been alone. Who would have thought that the him who had turned into ashes would actually appear in this world. Furthermore, he even had his loved ones and loved ones who were concerned about him?
"Can you tell me where is your home?" Although she felt that Cheng Yu's "experiencing so many years" was completely bullshit, she could still feel the faint sorrow in his voice.
"Very very far!" Home? Even he didn't know which home he was referring to. That home that was filled with sorrow, where he and his frail mother depended on each other for survival? Or this unfamiliar and noble home that was filled with familial love? Regardless of which one it was, it was very far away. However, the latter was still within reach. As for the former, he was afraid that he would never be able to return.
"Then after you leave this place, will you return home?" All along, Ning Xue had always seen an optimistic, shameless, and glib-tongued Cheng Yu. She never expected that he would have such a sentimental side.
"Of course. There are still a bunch of wives waiting for me to go back and give birth to children." Suddenly, Cheng Yu's style changed as he turned around and smiled at Ning Xue.
"You … this …" Ning Xue was unable to keep up with Cheng Yu's sudden change. This was too fast. It was as if he had a split personality. Ning Xue shook her head as she looked at Cheng Yu's mischievous smile. She believed that the person just now was definitely not Cheng Yu. It must be an illusion.
"Alright, big steamed bun. It's getting late. Rest early! I hope that you will be able to leave this place alive. We will meet again in the future! "Cheng Yu smiled as he stood up.
"Oi! Then how am I going to look for you after I leave this place! "Ning Xue looked at Cheng Yu's back as she clenched her teeth.
"If we are fated, we will meet again. If not, it's better not to meet!" Cheng Yu waved his hand before disappearing under the moonlight.
"Hmph! This scoundrel! Pretending to be profound again. I will definitely find you! "Ning Xue placed her fist on her chest as she spoke resolutely.
The next day, everyone had gathered together. However, the Huaxian Valley fairies' expressions weren't very good, causing those Cangling Sect men to be puzzled.
"Fellow cultivator Cheng Yu, thank you for taking care of us during this period of time. If there's an opportunity, I will definitely report to the sect about the help you had given us in Death Forest. Senior Brother Ling Hai, our Huaxian Valley will be leaving today. We will meet again in the future. Everyone, take care! " Ning Yan expressed her gratitude to Cheng Yu once again. After that, she cupped her fist at the astonished Ling Hai before leaving with her junior sisters who were reluctant to part.
"All of you be careful. Take care!" Cheng Yu also cupped his fist.
"Fellow cultivator Cheng Yu, what's going on?" When Linghai saw this sudden change, he was still a little confused. Wasn't he walking away just fine? Why did they suddenly say that they were leaving?
"Oh. Since they had already arrived at the central region, they wanted to look for their sect mates. Therefore, they left first. Not sure if Fellow Ling Hai has any plans? "Cheng Yu smiled. At the same time, he asked Ling Hai. Actually, the meaning behind it was very obvious.
Now that they had already arrived at the central region, the promise of bringing the two groups of people into the central region had already been fulfilled. Furthermore, Huaxian Valley had already left first. Next up, it's your turn.
"Er … this …" How could Ling Hai not understand the meaning behind Cheng Yu's words? It was just that Ning Yan's departure was too sudden. He didn't even have the time to prepare and consider.
Now, there were only around 10 disciples. If they were to leave like this, it would be hard to guarantee everyone's safety. If it was about their sect mates, he knew that quite a number of them had entered Death Forest. But who knew if any of them had arrived at the central region?
Furthermore, even if their sect mates had entered, he had no way of finding them!
Ling Hai looked at the direction Ning Yan and the rest had left. Searching for their sect mates was definitely a lie. The central region was so big. Who knew where they would be? However, they only had around 10 people. How could she have the guts to leave alone? Could it be that she had already obtained the news of her sect mates?
Ling Hai's complexion kept changing. It was very obvious that he was currently considering how to make a decision. However, no matter what, Cheng Yu would definitely not allow them to follow. He was very clear that the reason why he was able to hitch a ride was because of those Huaxian Valley women.
