CH 60

Now the place is back to quiet.

No one is talking at the moment.

Dong Fang, Feng Mei and the other two were sitting side by side at their respective places.

Their eyes were tightly closed.

They concentrated on calming their minds before swallowing the pill.

Of course, to calm the mind also requires enough time.

It's not even as simple as it sounds.

Hongling had not moved from his place from the start.

He felt like he didn't have to look for another place anymore.

His pupils slightly shrank when he saw the pill in his hand. No one knows what he has in mind.

His attenuation shifted to the four people before him.

Although the distance between them was quite far, it was still clearly seen.

Hongling smiled slightly then shook his head slowly, seeing how the four people who looked reluctant in their enthusiasm.

Seeing that, Zora approached him and sat down by his side.

Staring at the four people before him who were trying to concentrate, he asked, "Is that really important?"

Hearing that, Hongling frowned. Staring at Zora elaborately, "What do you mean?" He asked back.

"Ge, you know best what I mean! So, is that really important?" Zora said lightly while smilingly staring at Hongling.

"It's not. It's just.. how do you know?" Hongling asked, trying to calm down.

Looking back at the four people before him, Zora said, "While I didn't know you long enough, I've regarded you as my brother ever since you took care of me back then. I know that it is very rude to interfere in all matters concerning you, but I cannot help myself".

Hongling did not answer her immediately, he kept silent to let Zora speak further.

Gazing far ahead, his gaze grew longer, more and more faint.

Zora spoke again, "From a long time ago, you considered me as your little sister who always needed your protection. But seeing my progress, you become doubtful. To be honest, even though I became strong, I was still very happy to see how you stood in front of me to protect me, you didn't even care about the various consequences you had".

His voice was a little hoarse as he spoke.

"But, on the other hand, I was also afraid, afraid that you would be seriously injured because of me. I do have them now, but there will be times when they take their own path, and when that time comes, I will only have you in my life. If you get hurt for protecting me, how will I be? So, does it matter to you?" Then he said in a soft voice.

Hearing that, Hongling's heart warmed up, then gently stroked Zora's head

Shifting his attention, he stared fixedly at the face of the man by his side.

"If so, I want to help you find him. I didn't expect that you would continue to protect me, but I was afraid to see that you would come back injured like back then". Zora said back.

His voice was heavy and hoarse.

It sounded like it was going to sink and disappear.

This was the first time for Hongling to see Zora like this.

He felt warm, but also sick at the same time looking at the face of the girl beside him.

He could not help himself and carried Zora in his arms.

It's warm and comfortable.

"It's okay. I understand". Hongling said slowly.

"Don't be like this, it'll make me sad. Of course, if you want to help me find him, I don't mind it. Only, your safety is the main one. So don't do things implicitly".

Zora nodded in her arms, then asked, "Do you know where it is now? I mean, a rough idea of his whereabouts".

"I don't know! I can't even confirm it properly". Answer Hongling.

Hearing that, Zora raised her head to look at Hongling.

His slightly pointed chin looked very smooth and clean, his small and tall nose, his slightly long eyelashes added to the beauty and with his silver mane, it looked perfect.

Pretty guy! It was the exact definition of all the explanations he saw.

The shame!

The one who saw it was Zora.

Ignoring it all, Zora slowly broke free from Hongling's embrace and looked back at him with a questioning gaze.

Touching his nose, he said, "Although I don't know, I can still feel it if it's at a distance of 100 meters".

"What about the shape?" Ask Zora.

"Eh. That's, I ..."

Seeing how the flustered Hongling Zora nodded her head, "I understand". Her speech.

"understand? What do you understand?" Hongling asked in confusion.

A slight smile at the corner of her eyes, Zora said, "That sucks, doesn't it?"

"Huh?"

"Not remembering anything you want to remember and remembering anything you don't want". Zora said slowly.

Hongling froze for a moment.

Trying to suppress his feelings, he asked, "When did you realize that?"

"Since you noticed the Nine Dragons Red Barrier Formation". Answer Zora.

Hongling.

Since the first time he met Zora, he knew that Zora's IQ was not low.

But isn't that overrated?

He even knew everything with just a single glance!

"Ugh.. You are very observant". Hongling resigned.

"certain". Zora said with a hint of pride in her voice.

"Oh. They swallowed the pill. Gee, it's your turn". Zora said back when she saw the four people before her had swallowed their respective pills.

Slightly nodding, Hongling looked at her with a probing gaze and asked, "What about you, are you going to be on your guard?"

Hongling nodded, then did the same as the four people.

With the Moonlight Formation protecting them, Hongling did not feel anxious at all.

After seeing that Hongling had done something similar with the four people.

Zora also immediately went to find a convenient place for her to do regular meditation.

He does not need a bone-sealing pill to renew old bones with stronger and sturdier ones.

Even if he wanted to, he only needed to step into his Dimensional Space and soak in one of the pools he had.

And of course the effect will not be ...

"Ugh.."

"Argh.."

"..."

As painful as those four felt right now!

As expected of a High-Tier Pill.

Work very fast.

**

The Forest of the Cursed.

The debate ended with a sentence spoken by Leng Yu.

Feng Xin no longer refuted and just quietly walked out of the group and sat away from them.

Seeing that, Leng Yu finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Even so, he still thought of the right reason to tell Dong Fang everything that was happening right now.

The tenru of all the actions he had taken at the moment had proved that, in part what Feng xin had said was the truth, including in the case of the death and resurrection of Princess Min Yue.

He was afraid that not only was Dong Fang the one who was angry, but also "he" and the others.

He only silently prayed that what he was saying at the moment, not spread out.

When he saw how the Masters would form a group, he said, "Teacher, it looks like we're too late"

"What do you mean?" Ask one of the teachers.

"I heard from Princess Feng Mei's Contract Beast that they are going towards this Forest Core Layer. It's been a few days, so ..." Said Leng Yu.

He did not continue his sentence, but he knew that everyone must have understood what he meant.

But of course, who can believe it?

"Is that a joke?" Said one of the students.

"How could they easily reach this Core Layer of the Forest with just a few days?" Add the other one.

"..."

"..."

The place was again noisy with various questions of disbelief of the people at what Leng Yu said.

"Murid Leng, you shouldn't speak such origin. This is the Cursed Forest, we all know why the place is said to be the Cursed Forest. How could they go to the Core Layer so easily? Are you sure you didn't hear it wrong?" Say one of the teachers.

"My teacher..."

Before Leng Yu was about to finish his speech, the four people behind him immediately parted.

"Teacher, we're testifying".

Say the four at the same time.

Everyone except Feng Xin and Princess Min Yue, were unwilling to divert their respective attention to the four people who were patting behind Leng Yu.

"Teacher, what Leng Yu said was the truth. We heard it very clearly too". Mo Chen said.

Everyone's eyes were filled with doubt.

They don't know how to react.

This is beyond their expectations.

They thought that Leng Yu had only misheard the conversation that the Contract Beast had conducted by Feng Mei.

But seeing the four men behind him in support even saying as witnesses, they fell silent.

They were silent for quite a while until one of the Masters opened his mouth, "Alright. But it's only been a few days, are you sure they've arrived? This place besides being named as the Cursed Forest, this was also referred to as the Cursed Continent. That means this place is very large. Coupled with the strength of the Demonic Beasts at each layer, even if they were able to, they would take months to achieve".

"Teacher.. Teacher can trust me on this. With the "both people", their journey will certainly not get the slightest obstacle". Leng Yu said confidently.

"Are you sure?"

"certain Teacher. Otherwise, would we still be able to stand before Master and friends all at this time? We even witnessed how the Man held the Wolf with just one hand, not only that, The Wolf even trembled in fear and did not dare to look at the girl. It was okay if the Wolf was in the Earth or Star Realm. But the problem was that the Wolf was in the Heavenly Realm". Said Tian Mo shuddering.

Everyone is silent!

Tian Mo's words made everyone's mind finally open even if it was just a little.

They were very curious about the "both people" that were often mentioned in every word Feng Xin and Leng Yu said.

But they don't think it's a couple.

They thought that it was the second male swordsman who appeared out of nowhere.

A Man and a Girl?

Recalling what Leng Yu said earlier. That means, "he" they mean a girl!

If so, how much power did that girl have?

And if that girl alone was that strong, what about the man by her side?

Just think about it they feel bad.

They don't want to believe it.

But, from the words of Feng Xin and Leng Yu even the testimony of the other four people made them inevitably have to believe it.

This is not the testimony of one person!
