Chapter 396: I'll Wait for You
Ye Fei was somewhat surprised: "Jiang Bai? Why is he injured?"
“I ordered him and Li Yu to track down the whereabouts of the Thorn, and then a battle ensued.” Li Yuan’s phoenix eyes narrowed dangerously. He took a deep breath and continued, “Jiang Bai was no match for him and was seriously injured.”
Ye Fei frowned: "Is Jing Ji's cultivation level very high?"
"As far as I know, Jingji's current cultivation level should be at the seventh level of Spirit Saint, the same level as Jiang Bai."
"If they are of the same level, how could they have caused such serious injuries?" Ye Fei looked doubtful. "Two spirit masters of the same level should be evenly matched in strength..."
Li Yuan didn't speak, but silently clenched the communication stone in his hand.
After a moment of silence, Li Yuan said, "There is only one possibility: Jing Ji has a hidden agenda."
Ye Fei took Li Yuan's hand and asked him in a low voice, "Are you going back to the Demon Realm?"
Li Yuan stared intently at Ye Fei, who smiled slightly and said, "I will explain to everyone."
"Fei'er..." Li Yuan cupped her face, leaned in and gently rubbed his forehead against hers, his voice low and husky: "I will be leaving you for a while."
Ye Fei understood Li Yuan's temperament very well. He would not easily let go of the enemy who had seriously injured his followers.
That will inevitably be a fierce battle.
"Go ahead," Ye Fei said softly, "but you can't stay away for too long."
Li Yuan bit her lip lightly, with barely any pain.
After a tender kiss, Li Yuan held her in his arms, his long fingers stroking her braids, and whispered, "Seven days at the latest, come back to the academy and wait for me, okay?"
Ye Fei took a deep breath of the faint, refreshing fragrance emanating from his robes and nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
...
That night, Li Yuan left.
His teammates were puzzled by his sudden departure, and Ye Fei could only explain that he had urgent business to attend to.
Fortunately, her teammates didn't ask too many questions, but Ye Fei was still a little uneasy, wondering how long she could keep Li Yuan's identity a secret.
Without Li Yuan by her side, Ye Fei felt that even eating had lost its flavor.
But she knew she absolutely could not be distracted by personal matters anymore, so she suppressed her longing for him and continued to devote herself to cultivation and alchemy.
Five days later, the Night Scarlet Squad successfully arrived at the exit of Panlong Peak.
Xiao Qing, wearing a cloak, had been waiting at the exit for a long time. When she saw Ye Fei, she excitedly rushed towards her: "I've been waiting for you for so long!"
Apart from Ye Fei and Huang Rongyu, the other teammates didn't recognize Xiao Qing: "Xiao Fei, who is she...?"
Ye Fei explained to everyone, "Her name is Xiao Qing. She is a wizard we met after we were separated. I promised to take her to Guiyuan City."
Yu Muhan looked surprised: "...A wizard?"
Yun Fusang glanced at Xiao Qing a few more times: "Is she the kind of wizard who can predict the future and perform divination?"
Xie Qingui leaned closer curiously: "You can predict the future? How much do you charge? Can you predict the future for me too?"
Xiao Qing smiled sheepishly: "Uh... I'm just a lowly wizard with weak magic. If you want to receive a prophecy, you can come to me. Since you're all Ye Fei's teammates, I won't charge you!"
Mu Jingshen and Yun Fusang were not very interested in the prophecy, but Yu Muhan and Xie Qingui were very enthusiastic about it. Xiao Qing agreed: "Alright, after I find a place to settle down in Guiyuan City, I will personally make a prophecy for the two of you."
Ye Fei watched Xiao Qing mingling with her teammates, smiled, and gently stroked the antique-looking ring on her finger.
Five days have passed since the seven days were mentioned. I wonder how Li Yuan is doing now...
