Chapter 315.2: The Person At the Bottom of the Lake
If only he had come earlier, maybe such a thing would not have happened.
Seeming to sense the man’s fiery rage and self reproach, Qing Lan Fei shook her head slowly and said: “No. They did not do anything to torment me. I managed to escape and accidentally stumbled my way into these forbidden grounds in the Mind Free Peak. My eyes….. They started to go blind after I came in here.”
“What must we then do to cure your eyes?” Mo Jing Yu asked.
“I am an Elixir Cultivator myself and I know my own condition. We need to get out of this place quickly or my eyes’ condition….. will become more severe the longer we stay here.” Qing Lan Fei said softly as she lowered her head.
Mo Jing Yu’s gaze grew severe as he stretched his arms out to pull her into a tight embrace, his voice resolute as he said grimly, pausing between every single word: “I will definitely take you out of this place. “
On the other side, as Qing Yu delved deeper into the dense forest, the feeling that something wasn’t right grew stronger.
She suddenly halted her footsteps, her gaze staring straight ahead in front.
Her sudden halt also caused Zang Mai and the little toddler following behind her to stop as well.
“Mistress, what’s wrong?” Zang Mai asked in puzzlement.
Qing Yu’s face was indifferent as she raised a finger up slowly to point to the front and said: “The road ends up ahead.”
Hearing that, Zang Mai and the little toddler instinctively lifted their heads to look. They could clearly see that the white trees that had guided their path the entire time, came to an abrupt end about a hundred meters ahead.
And right after where the line of trees stopped, was a swathe of misty fog that seemed to have risen up from below. Looking at that, it could either be a bottomless cliff or an immense lake below.
“Could Mother possibly be down there?” Qing Yu muttered softly to herself.
But the moment those words came out, it immediately caused the little toddler to exclaim in a shrill voice: “Mistress, you can’t be thinking of going down there to look are you? That will not do. Who knows whether there will be even bigger dangers down there?”
This time, it was a rare moment for Zang Mai to not rebut the little fella as he went on to open his mouth and say: “Mistress, I do not recommend that you go down there as well. Although your objective for this trip is to save a person, you will still need to consider your own safety first.”
“I know that. Of course I will do my best to ensure my own safety. I am not one to overestimate myself.”
Qing Yu laughed softly and then said with her eyes narrowed: “But, there is just one path before us and since it might mean death for us all whether we remain here or if we make a trip down there, I’ll say why not we just go down there to try our luck instead?”
What does that even mean?
Qing Yu’s words were rather puzzling which caused the two of them to stand there and scratch their heads. Seeing that, the corners of her mouth curved up and she pointed with a slight lift of her chin, signalling for the two of them to look behind them.
