Chapter 492 Too Weird
After Luo Li and the others agreed, they almost cried with joy.
Three days later, late at night, at the edge of the mountains.
Luo Li turned her head and looked at everyone who looked a little tired, raised her hand and said, "Let's rest for a night first, and we will set off again tomorrow morning."
Along the way, except for Ming Qingzhu occasionally doing some incomprehensible things, no one paid any attention to her, which resulted in her complexion becoming increasingly worse, and the gentleness on her face was almost gone.
The others were very reassuring. Even the teams from the small academies tried their best to follow the main team and did not fall behind at all.
The team had been marching non-stop for five days, and their spirits were always tense, so everyone was indeed a little tired.
So he nodded and said, "Okay, we will set off early tomorrow morning."
The moonlight was like a thin veil, gently covering the quiet mountains and casting a soft glow on the tired team.
Everyone looked for dead tree roots or boulders to sit down on, and some lay directly on the pile of fallen leaves, a look of relaxation gradually appearing on their tired faces.
The bonfire was quietly lit, the flames dancing, illuminating everyone's tired but satisfied faces.
The air was filled with the unique aroma of burning weeping incense tree branches and the fragrance of unknown flowers in the distance, interweaving into a requiem for the night.
Everyone either lowered their heads and closed their eyes to rest, or talked quietly, sharing each other's stories and dreams. Occasionally, a few low laughs broke the silence of the night, adding a sense of warmth and comfort to the tiredness.
Yue Hanchuan and the others gathered around Luo Li and chatted with her.
The night passed quickly, and the next day.
The morning light first broke through the curtain of dawn, and the sky gradually turned a light blue. Then, the golden sunlight penetrated the mist like a thread and fell on the temporary camp.
Dewdrops sparkled on the tips of the tender green grass, as if inlaid with countless tiny diamonds, crystal clear.
Everyone stood up and stretched, their faces filled with energy brought by the satisfying rest they had had in the past few days.
Luo Li stood beside the embers of the bonfire, the morning light outlining her soft silhouette. She gently brushed away the dust on the corners of her clothes, a smile on her lips, "Let's go, let's go."
"good!"
Ming Qingzhu fell behind the team, looking at Luo Li's high-spirited back, and bit her lips unwillingly.
She let out a breath, ignored Yuan Wu and the others who were trying to please her, and strode past the others in the team to the front.
When she approached the person, she took a deep breath, brewed a smile, and called out softly, "Ari."
Luo Li, who was standing in front, got goose bumps for no reason when she heard the gentle "Ali".
After all, apart from Di Xuanming, no one had ever called her in such an emotional tone.
But this feeling was completely different from the feeling Di Xuanming gave her, and even made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Is it because she is a girl?
Luo Li shook her head silently. Definitely not, because Xiaoxiao, Shuxue, and Bai Yueke all talked about her like this, and even Qiao Qingyu, who had just met her not long ago, started calling her that.
But it was just a name, and she never felt anything strange about it.
But now...
It was just as Ye Yichen said, strange.
When Ming Qingzhu saw that Luo Li didn't respond, his eyes flashed with anger, but Luo Li was thinking about something and the others were quietly on their way, so no one noticed.
She called out again, "Ari?"
Luo Li came back to her senses and said politely, which was unusual for her. "Ms. Ming? What's going on?"
After thinking for a moment, she added, "Don't call me A-Li anymore, we..."
She originally wanted to say that they were not very familiar with each other, but considering Ming Qingzhu's strange behavior in the past few days, she changed her mind and said, "We can just call each other by our full names."
Ming Qingzhu's hands, hidden in his sleeves, tightened slightly, but he still smiled and nodded, "No problem, I'll listen to you."
Luo Li closed her eyes and silently looked away, focusing on the road ahead, ignoring Ming Qingzhu who was following closely behind her.
When Ming Qingzhu just came over, Ye Yichen and the others hid behind.
Lan Xiaoxiao and An Shuxue noticed Luo Li's gaze and silently looked away, telling them not to look at them.
You can't hit them, you can't scold them, they can't solve the problem.
Poor A-ri, she's on her own.
Luo Li closed her eyes and thought silently, please don't talk to her.
However, she heard Ming Qingzhu's voice again, and the questions she asked were even stranger.
Ming Qingzhu moved closer to Luo Li with a kind smile on his face. "Luo Li, you are the young master of the Luo family of the Tianyuan Empire. You will be seventeen soon, right?"
Luo Li frowned and didn't want to answer, but Ming Qingzhu looked like she would not give up unless she answered.
She was getting a little impatient, and her voice was tinged with a barely perceptible chill. "The answer to this question should be known to everyone on this continent, right?"
A hint of impatience flashed across Luo Li's eyes, but was quickly covered up by the deep ink color. Those beautiful eyes were cold, which made them even more attractive.
Seeing this, Ming Qingzhu's smile grew wider, and a cunning light flashed in his eyes, as if he was enjoying this subtle psychological battle.
She leaned forward slightly, and the distance between them was so close that they could almost feel each other's breath. However, this intimacy made Luo Li feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
Luo Li increased her speed by two points and created some distance between them.
A hint of deep meaning flashed across her eyes. Ming Qingzhu was too suspicious.
However, she is still a little confused about what she should do and needs to observe.
"Oh? Really?" Ming Qingzhu pressed on, whispering softly with a hint of amusement in her voice, "But I'd rather hear it from you, A-Li. After all, everyone's stories are different, and only the person themselves can tell their own story, right?"
As she spoke, she gently raised her hand, as if wanting to touch the ends of Luo Li's hair, but was repelled by the coldness in Luo Li's eyes.
Ming Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, a chill rising in her heart. After a moment, she covered her lips and chuckled softly, "Don't look at me like that."
"Don't get so close to me."
After saying that, Luo Li moved lightly with lotus steps, walked around Ming Qingzhu, leaving behind a faint bamboo fragrance and a cold back.
The breeze blew gently, causing her clothes to flutter, as if she was about to merge into the boundless mountains. Only Ming Qingzhu was left standing there, looking at the figure that was getting farther and farther away. A complex look flashed in her eyes, which showed both unwillingness and determination.
She exhaled and quickened her pace, as if trying to catch up with Luo Li again.
Ye Yichen frowned and patted Yue Hanchuan on the shoulder, looking ready to die. "Brother, I'm going to help A'li!"
Yue Hanchuan nodded and said expressionlessly, "Well, go ahead. A-Li will remember your sacrifice."
