Chapter 871 Buried On This Very Land



" Calm down, there is no point in wasting your breath," Ma Jiu patted Su Qian on the shoulder as she looked at the children who were heading inside the forest without looking back and then turned to look at Rong Si and Yang Yiling as she asked, " Do you really want to come with us?" 

This time Ma Jiu no longer dared to say that this place was not creepy, in fact, it was creepier than the haunted manor that she once took a trip to, at least she could hear the sound of vehicles and pedestrians who were walking outside but this island was insanely silent and that scared her a bit. 

" Since we are already here and the children do not seem to be listening to us, we can only follow them." Yang Yiling looked at the path in front of her and then turned to look at Su Qian and the rest since she too wanted to go to the temple of Jing because of her son's illness, her heart could not help but soften when she thought of how her son might be able to recover if she was to successfully climb the stairs of the Temple of Jing. 

When Yang Yiling said that Su Qian pursed her lips, she did not want to follow her nephew, not after the way he talked with her but then she thought of her brother who had treated her considerably well even after getting married and having a son and could not help but nod, even Madam Ma agreed since her foolish nephew was also with Su Qingzhao. Rong Si was the only one who protested and refused to go inside the forest under the pretext that she was feeling a bad feeling about this island and said,

" I will stay here, there is no need for me to come with you three since I only came here because I wanted to pray for a child but now that I look at this place, I think a surrogate is not that bad." 

Rong Si was in her late thirties but she did not have a child which was why she followed Yang Yiling thinking that if this place really fulfilled her wishes then there was no need for her to stay behind and let go of such a good opportunity but now that she was looking at the island in front of her, she felt that something was really very wrong about it. 

Since she could make do without giving birth to a child, there was no need for her to follow this group which was heading to the temple of Jing. 

Seeing that Rong Si was not willing the three women did not force her and simply asked her to stay here until they come back. 

" I understand, I will wait for you three," Rong Si nodded as she pulled away from the forest and the ocean and stayed in the middle of the shore, her master had told her that where the balance was strongest, the forces of evil were weakest. So she might as well stay in between the land and water. 

Su Qian and the rest chased after the group of teenagers which was heading towards the Temple of Jing. Even though they were separated by quite a lot of distance from Su Qingzhao and the rest, Su Qian could see that the four young men were flaunting how brave they were in front of Huo Lan and the young girl also did not let them down as she clapped her hands and cheered the four guys, making sure to flatter them to the point where they were floating in the air. 

She also took opportunities which were presented in front of her, sometimes she would fall in Su Qingzhao's arms and sometimes she would need Luo Shan to support her as she tumbled forward. The more she showed off her frail side the more the protective instincts of the young men roused. 

" I can't... I can't watch this, this is so humiliating!" Ma Jiu covered her face with her hands as she looked at her nephew who was smiling foolishly all because Huo Lan caught his hand for a few seconds. 

Even Su Qian was having a hard time keeping a straight face as she looked at her nephew who was acting all courageous and bold for the sake of Huo Lan. 

The path which led to the Temple of Jing was a steep one and it was filled with pits and holes, and somehow Huo Lan managed to tumble and fall in all of them as she sobbed and cried that she was tired and wanted someone to carry her. Just as Su Qian was about to lose her temper, she saw Su Qingzhao refuse Huo Lan as he waved his hand and then pointed at Su Qian while saying something to Huo Lan. 

Only then did the girl stop her whining but even so she did not forget to pout unhappily at Su Qingzhao who rubbed his nose awkwardly.

" But I can't walk anymore, Let's take a break all right? It will still take an hour for us to arrive at the Temple," Huo Lan supported her waist as she refused to take a step forward while panting heavily. Though she was indeed tired, the real reason she did not wish to walk anymore was she was worried that if they continued to head towards the Temple then how will she attract those things and have them attack Su Qingzhao? 

She needed to make sure that they all got buried on this very island! 

Su Qingzhao wanted to object but when he saw that Huo Lan was indeed tired he did not make a fuss and then said to Qin Lu, " Go and take a look around, if there is a place where we can take a break come back and tell us all right?" As he thought about something he added, " Should I send someone with you?" 

" All right." Qin Lu nodded as he turned on his heels and then flexed his muscles and said, " There is no need, I am not a coward like Brother Luo, I can run around the perimeter of the forest alone if I want to !"
