“I just want to ask, how did it manage to get out last time?”
An Jiuyue hid behind Qian Jiyun and watched him clear the brambles bit by bit. She could not help but wonder aloud.
The Auspicious Cloud Sea-Devouring Python should have carved a path when it emerged, right? Even if there was no clear path before, it would have forged one as it made its way out, wouldn’t it?
However, there was nothing on the ground.
“Jiyun, did we go the wrong way? Is it not here?”
Although she asked the question, there was no doubt that the aura of the Auspicious Cloud Sea-Devouring Python was heading in this direction. That much was undeniable.
“It’s here. We should be reaching soon.”
Qian Jiyun carefully assessed the direction and, worried she would be tired from walking, asked, “Are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while?”
“I’m not tired. Are you tired?”
She had been hiding behind Qian Jiyun the entire time. He was the one clearing the trees and brambles ahead of them. How could she be tired?
“Do you want to rest? I see that the brambles ahead are getting more and more
“Someone’s here!”
Two voices sounded at the same time. One was Qian Jiyun, and the other was Wei Na.
An Jiuyue felt her world spin, and when she finally landed safely, she realized that Qian Jiyun had taken her into a thicket.
Soon, they heard footsteps approaching. Several guardians chatted as they looked around carefully.
One of the guardians surveyed the quiet surroundings and muttered to himself, “Was I mistaken? That’s impossible. There’s a path here. Someone must have come through here. Otherwise, who would have cleared the path for us?”
“Are you stupid? They must have heard your voice and ran away,” another guardian said to the puzzled guardian.
If they had kept their voices down, they could have ambushed the people who cleared the path. However, there was no one around now. They must have heard their voices and fled.
“I’m not stupid. Wouldn’t it be better if they ran away?” The first guardian glared at the second guardian.
“That’s true.” The second guardian nodded. “So what if they ran away? It saved us the trouble of chasing after them. That’s good.”
“What’s good about that?”
An older guardian was furious when he heard their conversation.
“We don’t even know why they came to the Black Pact Forest, and yet you think it’s okay to let them escape? Let’s see how you’ll explain this to the Lord!”
“What? We have to report this to the Lord?” The two guardians looked worried. If they reported this, they would not be able to get away with it so easily.
Couldn’t they pretend they didn’t know anything and that no one had come?
One of them suggested, “Elder Ji, what if we don’t inform the Lord about this? Elder Ji looked at them with a fake smile and asked, “What do you think?”
Ordinary people would not dare to enter the Black Pact Forest, let alone go near the Auspicious Cloud Sea-Devouring Python.
“We can’t?” The two of them wore even more bitter expressions, feeling utterly miserable.
“I’m afraid they came here for the same reasons as us. If we don’t report this to the Lord and end up interfering with his plans, do you think you’ll be able to survive?” Elder Ji asked them in a deep voice.
“Well…” Their expressions were solemn as they sighed heavily.
They wondered which despicable individual had nothing better to do than come to the Black Pact Forest..
