“Nothing. Let’s go, we’re heading downstairs.”
“Since he’s already decided to sign up for Xingyue Martial Arts Academy, as a teacher at the academy, it’s necessary for me to meet him.”
Ling Feng’s face beamed with a smile.
Su Aoxue, however, shivered.
“How about… you stop smiling, Sister Ling Feng. That smile of yours makes me feel like you’re up to something.”
“It’s really malicious…”
Su Aoxue rubbed her arm and said with difficulty.
If the other party hadn’t stacked so many buffs, Su Aoxue wouldn’t dare say anything offensive.
Otherwise, she would have just complained directly!
To that, Ling Feng naturally wouldn’t admit what she was thinking at this moment.
“How could that be? You’re imagining things.”
“I hope so…”
Su Aoxue simply stopped looking at Ling Feng’s face. The more she looked, the more uneasy she felt.
However, Ling Feng at this moment looked at Su Aoxue.
‘Not yet. When the time really comes, I’ll let you know exactly what I was thinking just now~’
“Su Aoxue, who is this beside you?”
After Su Aoxue and Ling Feng came downstairs, both families were stunned when they saw the mysterious figure in a cloak standing beside her.
Su Aoxue glanced at Shen Yan, then introduced her to Shen Yan’s family: “Yes, she is a teacher from the Xingyue Martial Arts Academy.”
! Upon hearing this, Shen Yan’s pupils contracted.
‘This person is from Xingyue Martial Arts Academy? Really from Xingyue Martial Arts Academy?’
‘No wonder Xiao Xue suddenly changed her mind and wants to go to Xingyue Martial Arts Academy.’
If before it was suspicion, now Shen Yan finally understood why. Compared to Shen Yan’s silence, his parents looked at Ling Feng’s familiar outfit.
They immediately recalled the S-rank Martial Artist who had escorted them during their escape these past days, and asked in surprise: “Are you a teacher from Xingyue Martial Arts Academy?”
“That’s right, hello. I heard from Su Aoxue that this little one also wants to go to Xingyue Martial Arts Academy? So I came specifically to have a look.”
Ling Feng’s tone was very warm. She naturally sat down on a chair nearby and began chatting with Shen Yan’s parents and Su Aoxue’s mother.
Su Muqing sat somewhat dazedly among the adults, casting a pleading look at her ‘brother’.
She didn’t want to sit here and eat breakfast!
But Su Aoxue’s attention was entirely on Shen Yan. She didn’t notice her at all! Su Muqing: …
At the other table, Shen Yan’s gaze began to sweep around constantly.
Seeing Shen Yan’s strange behavior, Su Aoxue focused all her attention on him, her eyes darting.
Then she leaned close to Shen Yan, sat down beside him, and asked in a low voice: “Who are you looking for? That ice-attribute martial artist you mentioned?”
She had been remembering how Shen Yan said things but hid the second half.
Now with this opportunity, she was definitely going to press him on what he was thinking.
To that, Shen Yan didn’t hide anything, but the moment he spoke, his fingers moved, and the shadows beneath his feet instantly formed a special force field.
Then he replied: “Mm, it’s one of the goals. Have you seen that person? Do you know where she is now?”
After thinking all night, Shen Yan had come to a realization. Blocking is worse than channeling.
Rather than making Su Aoxue reduce her chances of meeting that Frost Calamity Witch, it was better to let things take their course.
Coincidentally, he could also explore a question that had always troubled him: why did the Frost Calamity Witch kill his brother in the previous life?
Find the problem at its root, then solve it.
And from now until the next six years, Su Aoxue wouldn’t be in danger, so he had plenty of time to find the answer to this question.
Su Aoxue, however, didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she looked around strangely: “Why did I just have a strange feeling?”
“I used a small branch ability of my talent—Silence.”
“Go on, have you seen that person?”
Su Aoxue looked at Shen Yan with some surprise. Who is he guarding against?
Then she spread her hands: “I don’t know. Maybe she’s hiding here? In the shadows. Or maybe she’s standing somewhere directly, you just don’t know.”
And Su Aoxue’s words made Shen Yan nod slightly: “Indeed, that’s possible. Even the previous life’s me never saw that person’s true face. Very mysterious indeed.”
