"Master, why didn't you let Chen Ye follow us?" After pulling Master to a relatively safe place, I stopped. Looking at him, I couldn't help but ask.

Anyways, I feel that one more person being missing isn't really a big deal, but Master is so against Chen Ye following the two of us, there's definitely something Master didn't tell me.

"What, do you want him to come with us?" After hearing my question, Master looked straight at me and asked.

At the same time, the way Teacher looked at me was extremely strange, as though he was very curious that I would actually ask such a question.

Looking at Master, I shook my head.

Let Chen Ye follow us?

Forget it.

Maybe it's out of selfishness, or maybe it's out of some other intentions, but I'm just not willing to let Chen Ye follow me and master to Southern Mountain.

"Since you don't want him to follow either of us, then — why do you care so much?" Hearing that I also didn't want Chen Ye to follow me, Master deliberately used my words to gag me.

Towards my master's rogue attitude, I have nothing to say.

"Alright, alright, let's not dwell on this issue any longer. Let's hurry on our way, otherwise, we won't be able to reach Southern Mountain at night." While I was standing there in a daze, Master had already taken his things and walked a long way.

With a sigh, I also hurried to catch up with Master.

Anyways, Master is right. I and Master have the same goal, so why should we argue over why should we leave?

"Master, is the Southern Mountain very far from here? Could it be that we can't even make it to Southern Mountain after a day's journey? " After chasing after Master, I curiously asked.

Although I have never been to Southern Mountain, but seeing how little Master brought today, I had thought that Southern Mountain was very far away.

"Southern Mountain is actually not far away, but... I was worried that something might have happened to us midway, so I told you to hurry up. " After hearing my words, Master lowered his head and looked at me with a beaming smile before speaking to me.

An accident along the way?

Hearing my master's words, I was stunned on the spot.

What did his Master's words mean?

What did it mean to be afraid of an accident?

"Master, could it be … "Do you mean that something will stop us in the middle of our journey?" After staring at Master for a long time, I finally couldn't help but ask.

After thinking about it, I realized that … My physique is so special, there must be a lot of ghosts wanting to eat me.

Furthermore, there are so many capable people in the Southern Mountain. If ghosts and monsters want to make a move on me in the Southern Mountain, then it must be as difficult as reaching the blue sky.

Therefore, to those ghosts, the best time to strike back was while I was on my way to Southern Mountain.

Thinking of this, my face couldn't help but turn pale.

Looks like the journey to Southern Mountain was destined to not be peaceful.

But — if it's so dangerous, why didn't Master tell me earlier?

This way, I won't reject Chen Ye's suggestion to follow me. At the very least, I can still have another helper.

"Alright, how could there be so many ghosts coming to find you on the way here? I only saw that you were still in a daze, so I said this. Do you feel much more awake now?" Seeing my nervous appearance, the teacher looked at me and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Master." Listening to Master's words, I looked at him and couldn't help but complain.

Master, seriously, you clearly know what I'm worried about the most, yet you still want to scare me like this.

Even if I didn't wake up from my sleep and was always in a daze, I could still talk to Master if he had anything to say to me. Why did he have to act like this?

"Alright, alright. Now that we're awake, let's hurry on our way. We have to walk for a long time before we can get a taxi." My master completely ignored my complaints and instead urged me to hurry over.

Looking at the surroundings, I also felt infuriated.

"I say, Master, we can get a taxi just by stepping out of the door, so why do you insist on taking me this way?" Now we are in a place where even rats have to walk with tears in their eyes.

No, the rats would never come to this crappy place.

"I say, my precious disciple. Have you forgotten that you were the one who pulled me here?" Looking at me, the teacher looked at me with a faint smile and then said.

"Eh …" Listening to my master's words, it was only then that I remembered.

It seems that I was the one who dragged Master to this place.

At that time, I was carrying my master and ran out of the door. Because I was worried that Chen Ye would follow me out, I wholeheartedly wanted to leave that place as soon as possible.

"Alright, alright, Master. I feel that what you said is very correct, so let's hurry on our way." He knew that this matter was caused by him not paying attention to where he was going, so he quickly changed the topic.

I knew that I was purposely changing the topic. However, Master only glanced at me but didn't say anything.

"Master, look! There's a taxi!" Suddenly, I saw a road not too far away from us. There was a taxi slowly approaching us from the road. I hurriedly shouted at my master anxiously.

I've been carrying my backpack for a long time and my feet are going to hurt.

Even though I don't have a lot of things in my bag, I can't carry them for a long time.

"I saw it." After hearing my loud shout, my master helplessly said this to me.

"I'm going to stop that car right now." As I said that to my master, I ran excitedly towards the taxi.

However, before I could even run a few steps, I felt the backpack behind me being grabbed by my master. I couldn't help but turn my head and look at my master in bewilderment.

Now, a car had finally appeared. If he didn't stop it now, the car would leave soon.

"We're still quite a distance away from the main road. Logically speaking, it's impossible for taxis to come here. There must be demons behind all of this, so it's best for us to be a bit more careful." After pulling me back, the master stroked his goatee, then looked at me and sincerely said this to me.
