CH 298

Lin An stopped, the dark meridians on his face were moving around. The black mist trembled a few times in mid-air. Lin An seemed to feel it’s sneer as it successfully mock him.

There was a blank look in his eyes, since his mind was indeed shaken by the black mist’s words.

He never came back after he took out the black mist back then. He wasn’t worried that it would ever escape since the cage here is quite powerful. Lin An really didn’t need to come to see it until he found a way to completely get rid of it, especially in such a late night that he decided to come alone after Xi Ning fell asleep.

The black mist found out that Lin An’s mood had changed. He seemed to still care about someone very important to him. The black mist probed, “He still doesn’t know my existence?”

It just asked a question speculatively, Lin An suddenly raised his head upon hearing this, and the meridians on his right face were even more distorted.

Even though the black mist had developed its own consciousness, but it was still a part of Lin An. It sensed that Lin An had a stronger killing intent on itself, so it retreated to the inside of the cage and did not move.

Lin An sensed its call, and came here only if he had a longing in his heart. Whether he did it intentionally or subconsciously, as long as he was restless, it was only a matter of time before he opened this cage and let himself out to fully integrate with him.

The black mist became silent, Lin An seemed to have sensed it, raised his hand to touch his right cheek, turned and left in silence.

He returned to the bedroom. Xi Ning lay on his side and was still in deep sleep. Lin An gently lay down on the bed again. He had stood in the basement for a long time at night, and his body was cold. Xi Ning opened his eyes in a daze.

“Why are you still awake?”

While talking, Xi Ning rubbed into Lin An’s arms, and fell asleep again in a blink of an eye.

Lin An buried his head in, sniffing the familiar scent, and felt that his chaotic mind was much clearer, all those distracting thoughts just now were left behind by him, he closed his eyes and fell asleep with Xi Ning.

The next day, when Xi Ning was having breakfast, the system said leisurely, “Master, last night……”

The system hadn’t appeared for a long time, and Xi Ning was slightly stunned when he heard a familiar voice, “What’s wrong?”

The system feels like it was filing a complaint, but it serves Xi Ning wholeheartedly. Lin An is also included in the mission. If there is any abnormality, it’s better to inform Xi Ning first.

So it told Xi Ning what it saw last night, Xi Ning didn’t take it seriously and said, “Maybe……. He just went out for something? Like going downstairs to drink water or find something?”

The system said, “I don’t know, but he went out for a long time. I didn’t wake you up last night because it was too late.”

Xi Ning responded and asked another important matter, “I have helped Ferro get the Red Frost Flower. How can I complete the mission in this world?”

The system was ashamed of its incapability, “Sorry master, I don’t know.”

“Could it be that we have to wait for Ferro’s wife to recover from illness?” The system guessed, “This is the only plot that appears in the original book.”

Xi Ning didn’t see Ferro from the telescope yesterday. He doesn’t know if he went back first or he didn’t see him, but the queen’s illness can’t be delayed. Even if Ferro doesn’t leave first, someone will definitely send the Red Frost Flower back first.

Thinking of it like this, Xi Ning felt much more at ease. Maybe he only needs to wait a little longer before he can receive a notification that the mission is completed.

And Lin An’s memory has not yet recovered. After going through the last world, Xi Ning guessed another possibility, that is, when all the missions are about to be completed and they are about to transfer worlds, Lin An’s memory will be fully recovered.

The missions in this world have little to no restriction, and he met with Lin An very early, life is relatively easy, and Xi Ning doesn’t worry much about the future.

After he clears the misunderstanding with the mercenary group, if there is still time, he may be able to persuade Lin An to go back to the Cliff Valley Forest with him to take a look.

Xi Ning thought of this, and suddenly remembered that there was still a sound transmission stone in his storage ring.

He had used this stone several times on the road, but he hadn’t taken it out since he entered the forest. Lin An was cleaning the dishes in the kitchen at the moment. Xi Ning pulled out the sound transmission stone and tried to contact his clansmen.

The sound transmission stone made a slight “sizzling”” sound, and then fell silent without any response.

Xi Ning felt strange. When he used it a few times before, there was an elf talking to him almost immediately, and they would ask him very excitedly what was going on. Could it be that they were all busy today?

He waited for a while, but there was still no sound from the sound transmission stone. When Lin An came out from the kitchen after cleaning up everything, Xi Ning had just put away the sound transmission stone, he then remembered the letter he sent yesterday, “The letter should have been delivered, right? I want to go to the attic to take a look……”

“Yes, it has already been delivered. The Bronze Sparrow came back this morning.”

“Then have they gone back?” Xi Ning got up from the sofa, “I want to go to the attic and use the telescope to take a look.”

Lin An approached and moved his lips. After a few breaths, he took Xi Ning’s hand and went to the stairs, “Okay.”

He didn’t need to look to know that those people would not leave. Sure enough, when he got to the attic, Xi Ning looked in the same direction with the telescope as before. The head of the mercenary group and the others were still walking forward, and they were getting closer to the tower.

Xi Ning saw it clearly, he was not too surprised and put down the telescope, “Did they not notice, or…… they don’t believe it?”

Lin An took the telescope from him, closed the window and said, “They won’t believe it.”

Let alone delivering a letter, even if Xi Ning stood in front of them unharmed, they would not show any kindness to a black magician like him.

Hearing the emotion in Lin An’s tone, Xi Ning struggled for a while and walked out of the attic with him. When going downstairs, he pulled Lin An’s cuff, “They should come here soon, let’s go and explain together then.”

He felt that all of this was just a misunderstanding, they just need to explain and clear the misunderstanding.
