C133 Far Grayvale(part Ii)

Zi Ling completely spread out her divine intents. She didn't sense any higher level magical beasts, so she sat on the back of the Tiger Arrows Tail Tiger.

The group slowly moved forward. As time passed, the surroundings gradually became dark.

Qi Hao's four retainers had ordered all the magical beasts in the nearby area to be cleared out, and the elves of the Grayvale sect had just begun setting up camp and preparing to rest.

The Yongge Forest was gloomy, but the moonlight was brighter than anywhere else. The purple silk sat on the tree trunk and breathed in and out the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. She spread out her divine sense and paid attention to her surroundings. But at this time, she discovered Qi Hao and Nina's figures.

Qi You had just finished giving orders to Skybird and pushing his wheelchair around to check the situation, when Nina called out to him. "Big brother Qi."

Qi Hao raised his eyes slightly, but his expression didn't change at all, "It's Nina …"

Nina hopped over happily. "Will Big Brother Qi also stay in the Eternal Song Forest forever?"

Qi Hao looked at the clear eyes of the female elf, let out a faint sigh, then gently shook his head and said, "No, I'm here for Ye Ling."

Nina's eyes widened. Before she could say anything, she heard Qi Hao say, "I'll be leaving soon."

"Will Big Sister Ye Ling leave with you?" Nina couldn't conceal her disappointment.

"No, she has important things to do."

Nina looked up. "Then aren't you going to wait for her?"

"I'll wait for her, but not here." Every word from Qi Hao seemed to have a deeper meaning. Although Nina liked the man in front of her, she couldn't understand him.

"Big brother Qi, do you like big sister Ye Ling?" Nina mustered up the courage to ask this question. Some time ago, she was still confused, but when Annie found out, Annie told her that she liked him. Just like how she liked Big Brother Qi, Big Brother Ye also seemed to have an unusual relationship with Big Sister Qi Ling.

Qi Hao laughed lightly. For a while, the eerie scene in the Eternal Sing Forest didn't look that scary, but rather comfortable.

Just as Nina thought Qi Hao wouldn't tell her the answer, Qi Hao said, "I didn't expect you to see through it."

Nina widened her eyes and opened her mouth. "Big brother Qi likes Sister Ye Ling."

He was extremely disappointed, but there was a voice that told him not to blame Ye Ling. Ye Ling was a beautiful woman, and she was so strong; perhaps only Qi gege was worthy of her.

Even though she was trying to comfort herself, her eyes could not fool anyone.

"Nina, I once told you that sometimes you need to turn around and look," Qi Hao said as he looked behind Nina. "Now, turn back."

Nina, who was still feeling sad, turned her head in a daze, just in time to see Ace poking his head out.

Nina felt that her current situation was very awkward. She didn't want a third person or spirit to discover this kind of awkwardness, but when Ace appeared in front of her, she stomped her feet and somewhat shamefully and angrily ran to the side.

Asi didn't understand, but looking at Nina's expression, it seemed that she was angry because she had discovered that she was spying on them. He also ran over, passing by Qi Hao and asking, "What happened just now? Why is Nina angry?"

"You're the only one who can figure out why you're angry." Qi Hao smiled and turned his wheelchair away from Ace.

Athy scratched his head and looked in the direction Nina ran off in. He was worried that she would run into danger, so he immediately gave chase.

Nina hid behind a sturdy plant and watched as Ace ran in front of her, calling out her name as he ran.

Nina bit her lower lip. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions. It was not a good feeling at all. She was very unhappy, but she could not blame anyone. She just wanted to be alone for a while.

The sound gradually faded away. Nina gently slid into a wet place, not caring about the cold dew at night. Hugging his knees, he buried his head deep in them.

Phew... Phew...

Suddenly, a hot wind blew into her ears. Nina subconsciously raised her head and saw the ugly face of a magical beast.

"Ah …" She subconsciously cried out and was about to make a move when a figure appeared in front of her and blocked her from her back.

The spell flew out from Athy's hand and landed on the body of the ordinary magical beast. Ace didn't even have time to see if his attack had worked. He looked back at Nina and asked, "Are you alright?" Is there anything wrong? "

Nina was sitting on the ground while hugging her legs. She didn't know why, but she felt wronged when she saw Ace's flustered expression. She began to cry loudly.

When Ace heard Nina cry, she panicked even more. Thankfully, the other party was just an ordinary magical beast. Under his barrage of attacks, they had already fallen to the ground. Seeing the situation, Athy hurriedly turned around and squatted beside Nina. He examined her from head to toe. "Don't scare me, where are your injuries?"

The more Nina cried, the more heartbroken she became. She began to cry loudly.

She cried as she watched Ace flustered and helpless. Unknowingly, the sadness in her heart slowly dissipated.

After a while, she wiped her tears away and said hoarsely, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

After saying that, he propped himself up from the ground.

"I'll be worried if grandpa can't find me after coming out for so long. Let's go back." Nina was very grateful to Ace at this moment. Her previous anger had completely disappeared.

Ace suddenly grabbed Nina's hand and pulled her back. Nina's beautiful eyes widened as she stared at Ace's face in surprise.

"Ace, you …" Before Nina could finish her words, Ace's lips sealed her words.

Nina's eyes grew wider and wider. It was only after a long moment did she react and push Ace away. "You …" What are you doing? "

Accius was feeling somewhat embarrassed. He did not even dare to look Nina in the eye. "That …" "Nina, I like you."

"You like me?" Nina didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She had just refused her confession, and now she had been rejected.

She didn't have any ill feelings towards Ace, but she couldn't let go of her feelings for Qi Hao. She shook her head. "Ace, thank you for liking me, but I …" She pointed at her heart. "Can't hold someone else."

Athy's eyes lit up: "I know, but I will wait until you take me in."

The atmosphere between the two became somewhat strange. Nina suddenly let out a "ha" laugh, wanting to break this strange atmosphere. "Let's go. After coming out for such a long time, they should be worried. Let's go back."

Athy lightly nodded his head. Nina turned around and followed her as they slowly approached the camp. Nina's figure was right in front of him. He really wanted to reach out and hug her, but he had been rude enough. If he were to do something now, Nina would definitely not like him anymore.

At this moment, Zi Ling also did not notice what was happening. It was as if a huge rock had been thrown into her calm lake of consciousness, causing huge ripples that would cause it to be unable to calm down for a long time.

Qi Hao faced Nina's words, which echoed in his ears.

Like... He likes me...

But what is like? For more than a hundred years, Zi Ling had never tasted love, and every day she would cultivate.

She shook her head. Subconsciously, she felt that it was very dangerous. She could not have it, nor could she accept it.

This night, aside from Qi Hao, Zi Ling, and the other three, no one else was aware of what had happened. But on the second day, Nina began to avoid Ace, intentionally or unintentionally. This made Ace somewhat regretful that she shouldn't have rashly told the other party about what she had said in her heart last night.

Because of what happened yesterday, Zi Ling hadn't spoken to Qi Hao today, nor did she look in his direction, even though he was right by her side. She didn't speak, and Qi Hao seemed to have his mouth sewn shut. He didn't even take the initiative to speak.

"Wait …" At this moment, Zilch suddenly discovered that there were more than one magical beast of the sixth rank in front of her.

The Skybird and Bloodstained heard the noise and stopped. They turned their heads to look at the purple silk before turning to look at their master.

Qi Hao nodded. "Listen to her."

Violet Ling still didn't turn her head to look at Qi Hao. She only said to Skybird and Bloodstained, "There are two magical beasts of the sixth rank up ahead. Make way."

At this time, if Skybird and Bloodstained were to lead the way, they might be able to take care of those two magical beasts, but there would definitely be heavy casualties. Qi Hao had appeared here to help her, so she didn't want any of her subordinates to be injured.

After she finished speaking, she ordered the Tail Tiger to quickly move forward, passing Skybird and Bloodstained.

"Hey, woman, don't underestimate us. We can handle two magical beasts of the sixth rank." Xueran said with a smile.

Yet, he was met with a glare from Bird. It was clear that he was lying with his eyes wide open.

"Is that so? "Then you go …" The Tiger Arrow stopped in its tracks as it turned its head to face Bloodstained.

Xueran didn't expect her to actually let herself go. She grinned and said, "You go, or you go …"

Zi Ling retracted her gaze and continued moving forward. Not too long after, a magical beast of the sixth rank appeared in her line of sight.

Before she arrived, the magic spell had already been cast as countless fireballs and wind blades surrounded the Class 6 Magical Beast. Zi Ling stepped onto the back of the Tiger Arrows Tail Tiger and lightly floated forward. The Wind Fixing Bead spun in her palm and a dim blue light flashed for a moment before drilling into the Class 6 Magical Beast's head with a 'whoosh' sound.

In the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, the Class 6 Magical Beast struggled slightly, but could not escape from the fate of being killed by the purple silk.

Even Bloodstained, who was known for his ruthless killing, couldn't help but praise her quick and decisive methods. "She really is an expert at killing people. Not a single strike is unnecessary."

Soon, another magical beast of the sixth rank appeared. The purple silk whirled around and flew in front of it, first using the Imprisoning Ice Lotus to bind it to the ground. Then after a few consecutive blows, the rank 6 magical beast fell to the ground in front of the purple silk without any strength to resist.

The elves of the Grayvale sect were all speechless. They had heard Zhu'er talk about this before, but it was nothing compared to seeing it with their own eyes. It turned out that she could really kill a magical beast of the sixth rank so easily. Only then did the elves of the Grayvale sect let their fear go, believing that their choice had not been wrong.

Two days later, after having killed countless magical beasts of the sixth or seventh rank, they finally arrived at the center of the city.

Roar …

The roar of a tiger came from afar, causing the elves and humans to feel pain in their eardrums.

A magical beast of the eighth rank …

Zi Ling's expression changed, she turned to look at Qi Hao, "Right now I need your help."

Qi Hao had been waiting for her to speak, and upon hearing this, he let out a soft laugh, "The reason I came here today is to help you."
