Chapter 34 Chapter 34 A gust of wind blew over, during the day...

A gust of wind blew over, and Bai Tianming frowned. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong and stood up to leave. Sada stood up as well, stopped him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Tianming paused and said, "Someone seems to be coming. I'll go check it out."

"Don't you want me to go with you?" Sada looked at him with concern and gentleness, as if making this suggestion out of complete good intentions, and asked again.

"No need," Bai Tianming shook his head. "Just stay here and watch over the flowers for me. I'll be back soon. If I'm not back by noon, you can come find me."

"Okay." Sada hesitated to speak, then sighed and agreed to it.

"I'm leaving." Bai Tianming nodded, took two steps, and then couldn't help but remind him, "If you really want to see me, come alone. Too many people can easily cause misunderstandings. Also, it's best to go later so you don't make a wasted trip!"

Sadah smiled and said, "I understand."

Bai Tianming was skeptical and walked away.

After Bai Tianming had walked for a while, the curious demon came over and asked, "Are you really not going?"

Sadar sat on the rock and smiled: "Of course we should go, but it's too early now. Go back to your work."

The curious demon nodded, turned around and continued to plant flowers.

At this time, Bai Tianming had stopped at an open space. Opposite him was a huge and magnificent door that was about to open. The door was golden and sparkled in the sun.

There are a lot of animals on the door, including lions, tigers, cats, dogs, birds, flowers, plants, butterflies and bees. Every detail is carved with incredible precision and lifelike, as if they would break out of the door at the next moment, giving people a strong sense of shock.

The door slowly opened, and someone was about to come out. Bai Tianming thought that it would not be a good idea to appear in front of them, as it might scare the person who just came out. He looked left and right, hid in the shadows, still looking at the door.

The door opened in front of him and a group of people came out one after another.

They wore very uniform clothing: loose white robes, slim black clothes, long black trousers, white socks and black shoes. They had silver chains around their necks, and under the thin silver chains hung identical small silver books, slightly smaller than a fingernail but longer.

The leader was a little different from the others. Under his silver chain hung an extremely thin flower, also made of silver. It floated up when the wind blew, as if it had no weight at all. It was very beautiful, shining in the sun, like a lotus emerging from the water, but it was not a lotus.

Bai Tianming squinted his eyes and looked at the thing. He felt that it looked a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, so he gave up.

Unexpectedly, the leader was very perceptive. He frowned and immediately looked over. He found Bai Tianming hiding in the shadows. He threw a hidden weapon at him and shouted, "Who's hiding there and peeking? Get out!"

Bai Tianming dodged the hidden weapon and didn't want to conflict with them, so he had to walk out and stand in the sun.

When he stood in the shadow, the sunlight did not shine on his face. When he walked out, he was suddenly heated by the sun, and his face turned slightly red, showing that his skin was too thin to withstand the sunlight, so that people seemed to see the blood vessels flowing under his skin.

Everyone held their breath and looked at each other, confirming that no one knew Bai Tianming. They had never expected to see such a person here, and they all had very surprised expressions.

In their impression, only young masters who are ignorant of the world, or young masters who are weak in body, have the opportunity to stay in the ancient castle for a long time, listening to the sound of bats flapping their wings and flying away, enduring the fear brought by the darkness alone in the empty corridor without being exposed to the sunlight. Usually, only such people can be so sensitive to the sun.

However, they had only heard of it before and had never actually seen it, and they had wondered why the nobles in the ancient castles in the stories were so beautiful.

After discussion, they concluded that all the characters in the story were beautiful because they did not exist and were illogical.

In their opinion, people who have been living in darkness for years will not look good even if they have pale skin. If exposed to the sun, they will look like corpses and cannot be beautiful. So they never mention it again.

However, when they saw Bai Tianming, they suddenly doubted their past judgment. Perhaps, the nobles in the ancient castle in the story looked just like they do now, just as pale, just as beautiful, just as fragile. This stunning sight was enough to make people terrified and unforgettable.

Although Bai Tianming hadn't spoken yet, they had already found a reason for him in their minds. Maybe he was the young master of a nearby territory, who sneaked out to play alone and accidentally walked here. Maybe he was an elf living in the forest, who got lost and stopped here to rest, and was disturbed by them.

Apos frowned. For a moment, like the people around him, he was bewitched by Bai Tianming's appearance and vaguely thought that he might be a good person. But then he thought, why would a good person peek? So he came to his senses.

Apos stared at Bai Tianming, as if he was guarding against a powerful magician, ready to use a large-scale attack spell without chanting or staff, and asked cautiously, "Where are you from?"

"I live nearby." Bai Tianming thought for a moment and told the truth.

No one believed him, but some people thought he was afraid and didn't dare to tell the truth. However, Apos thought he lied because he had other motives and must have bad intentions.

"Then what are you doing here?" Apos frowned and asked in a bad tone.

"I felt a rumbling noise over here," Bai Tianming said, seeing that they didn't believe him when he told the truth. He tilted his head to the side, frowning slightly, looking pitiful, like a cracked, transparent celadon vase placed on the corner of a table, telling a lie. "I didn't know if something happened, so I came to take a look. What if it's an earthquake or a wild animal rushing out? I can take precautions in advance. It's better than knowing nothing at all."

This sounds more like something an ordinary person would say.

Except for Apos, almost everyone on the opposite side believed him.

Seeing that no one around him agreed with him, Apos felt that if he continued to talk to Bai Tianming, he was afraid that everyone around him would stand behind Bai Tianming and confront him. Therefore, he frowned and tried to get Bai Tianming to leave early. He said frankly, "We are priests from the temple. We received news that there is an unstable space crack here, so we came to check the situation. As long as your family does not live in the space crack, you will not be affected. Go back quickly! Don't go out recently, be careful not to bump into the space crack and get into trouble."

Since they are only here to look for space cracks, they should not wander around. The space cracks have disappeared, so they will probably go back if they can't find them. There is nothing to worry about.

Bai Tianming nodded calmly: "I'll leave now."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without stopping at all.

Seeing him being so straightforward, Apos was surprised. He thought he would find some excuse to stay for a while longer. However, it was better for him to leave.

No matter when, it is not a good thing if there is a stranger with unknown origin and extremely high affinity in the team, as it can easily lead to internal strife.

Didn't you see that even before Bai Tianming said he wanted to stay, the people around him were already impatient, hoping that he would take the initiative to stay? If he really stayed, what would happen?

They were here on a mission, not just for sightseeing, so how could they have found a local beauty to accompany them? That was too strange, too much, too unruly!

Seeing that Bai Tianming had already left, Apos shouted at the people around him, "Everyone has left, what are you still looking at? Do you remember what we are here for? Don't forget!"

People came to their senses, put away their reluctant expressions, blinked their eyes, and lowered their heads, but half of the souls in their bodies floated away and have not returned yet.

Seeing them like this, Apos was really heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he himself was almost unable to extricate himself, so how could he blame others?

Besides, Bai Tianming had not planned to show up. It was he who forced people out and asked people the questions. It would not be good to put all the blame on Bai Tianming.

Ultimately, it is because their minds are not firm enough, otherwise, they would not be so infatuated with a good-looking person and would seem to want to switch sides after just a few words.

"Go back and train for two weeks!" Apos said with a frown.

Everyone looked at each other, wanting to wail in exchange for some sympathy, but also feeling as if they were indeed in the wrong and deserved some training. No one spoke, which was considered as tacit agreement.

The additional training was decided, and Apos took everyone away to look for traces of space cracks nearby.

Because Apos didn't want to see Bai Tianming again, the direction he chose to move was completely opposite to the direction Bai Tianming left.

Bai Tianming stopped to rest halfway. He felt that they were getting farther and farther away, but they didn't seem to have any intention of leaving. After hesitating for a while, he decided to pack up and throw them out.

It wasn't that they couldn't stay in his kingdom, but he didn't want to receive guests just yet, so he drew a line silently and they walked out.

They themselves did not realize that they had arrived from one place to another. Both places were secluded and had similar environments, far away from people. They walked for a while and stopped, feeling very tired.

"Can we rest for a while?" the priests asked Apos.

"Okay." Apos also felt that the sun seemed a little strange today, and agreed to everyone's request.
