Chapter 184 – Master, do you choose to die or to perish? (25)
“He is my… Senior Brother.” There was a suspicious pause.
Yun Ze was slightly stunned, couldn’t say anything, and heard Yan Luo said so.
He looked back, and saw that Yan Luo’s face was calm, but Yun Ze was familiar with the subtle emotions of this person, and he could somewhat tell that Yan Luo was a bit uncomfortable and had a slightly furrowed brow.
The corner of his lips couldn’t help but curve up.
She probably didn’t want to reveal her identity and didn’t want to disturb his training. As his ‘Junior Sister,’ she could naturally refrain from intervening, right?
“This is my Junior Sister, Yan Luo.” Yun Ze paused for a moment, following Yan Luo’s lead, with a hint of indulgence in his lips.
It was reminiscent of the situation when young ladies from some prestigious families went out to travel.
But… it seemed like this young lady didn’t have any cultivation?
Just as Chong Ling was thinking this, when he looked at Yan Luo again, he slightly paused, this time sensing a faint spiritual aura from Yan Luo, almost at the Foundation Establishment stage, but very faint. If it weren’t for his higher cultivation level and proximity, he wouldn’t have noticed.
She must be using some treasure to conceal her cultivation.
Suddenly, everything made sense.
If a young lady from a prestigious family came to travel, having Foundation Establishment cultivation was quite decent for them, and it could be quite helpful in some places.
“I see,” Chong Ling smiled, nodding slightly at Yan Luo, “Hello, Junior Sister Yan.”
Being addressed as ‘Junior Sister’ made her slightly uncomfortable. Yun Ze paused for a moment, then saw Yan Luo, who probably hadn’t experienced this kind of treatment before, hesitate before responding after a while.
“……Mm.”
Her cute appearance made him unable to help but want to laugh.
Chong Ling didn’t have any dissatisfaction with Yan Luo’s aloofness. After all, some sects and aristocratic families were usually low-key, and the temperaments of their disciples were also a bit peculiar. These two were probably among them.
So, considerately, he didn’t inquire about their sects, and just watched the two of them follow behind the group towards Luo City. Though, he couldn’t help but scratch his head with some curiosity.
But why did he feel like he had heard the name Yan Luo somewhere before?
Upon arriving at Luo City, the Lord of Luo City personally came out to greet them, probably because they had sought help from Xuanhua Sect before.
After settling down, everyone proposed to go around the surrounding areas to assess the situation.
Neither Yan Luo nor Yun Ze spoke, listening as each of the seven people discussed and delineated search directions and areas.
Yan Luo glanced sideways out the window; the sun was directly overhead, casting a golden light all around.
This was the time when the suppression of demonic energy was the strongest; the demonic lair wouldn’t make any moves now.
Not to mention, with just a few cultivators with not particularly high cultivation levels planning to divide the search area and search separately, if it weren’t almost noon, it would be like sending fodder to the enemy.
Moreover, dealing with this demonic lair, even though it was still in its infancy, was already quite troublesome for her. It couldn’t be completely resolved in just ten days or half a month. It was already troublesome enough; she couldn’t let them go out and make things worse.
She lightly tapped the table with her fingertips and asked in a calm voice, interrupting the discussion of the others, “How do you know it’s demonic creatures?”
“We, from Xuanhua Sect, are renowned for understanding the will of heaven. The demonic energy here was naturally deduced by my Senior Uncle.” One of the girls answered instinctively, her tone carrying a hint of arrogance.
“Do all of you have experience in dealing with demonic creatures?” Yan Luo blinked and continued to inquire.
