Chapter 169: Heavenly Soul Tomb
When we are no longer second brother's burdens, we will go wherever he goes……
When we are no longer second brother's burdens……
Su Fei Fei's inner emotions were rattled. In that moment, she suddenly understood.
The reason why they weren't going with him wasn't because they didn't want to go…..Rather, after that adventure in the Phantom Forest, they realized how strong Ye Tian Xie was and how useless they would be if they went along. They would only make him spend effort protecting them, making things troublesome for him…..They would just be a burden to him.
So, no matter how much they thought about it, they could only choose not to go. This was not them treating Ye Tian Xie as an outsider, but rather……this was the sincere friends.h.i.+p they had with him. Just like how Ye Tian Xie did not care if they were burdens to him.
So, when Ye Tian Xie proposed that they level together, they immediately gave an excuse. When he asked them to do the challenging quest together, they used the exact same excuse.
Then…..What about her……
With his strength……If he leveled with her, could she really help him? Or would she be taking his achievements and dragging down his leveling speed? Doing the dangerous quest together……She would only be his burden and force him to split his attention to protect her. The support skills that she had were truly not that important to him at all.
Thinking of before, it was because of her that he had no choice but to block an attack from the little Spiritual Beast with his own body. It was an attack that had a chance of the little Spiritual Beast…..instantly killing him. Even knowing that there was a large possibility that he could be instantly killed, he used his body to block the attack…..Because although he had a cold outer appearance, for his friends and people he cared about, he would not even care about his own safety. In that moment, she had been his burden. If he hadn't been strong enough, he would have been killed by the little Spiritual Beast.
Living in his home and enjoying his protection, being able to live without fear. A kind of living under the same roof that brought her happiness and satisfaction……Knowing his past and enjoying everything he obtained, she was becoming a burden to him because of her own happiness…..
She had clearly said that she wanted him to be truly happy…….
Ye Tian Xie nodded at Zuo Po Jun and Murong Qiu Shui. He already knew what they were thinking and could only helplessly say, ”Alright, elder sister should need some help anyway. Fei Fei, let's go.”
”I……” Fei Fei recovered from her dazy. She lowered her head to look at the time on her wristband and then shook her head. She said in a lazy voice, ”Forget it, I'm not going either. It's already close to noon and I have to cook for a lazy person like you, otherwise we'll both starve……Tian Xie, go and do the quest, then log off when it's time to eat lunch……I won't be calling you.”
Ye Tian Xie looked at the time and the corners of his lips curled up, ”Alright, then I'll have to trouble you with that young miss Su.”
”Call me Fei Fei!”
”…….”
Heavenly Stellar City's north side, Flowerless Temple.
This was a small but peaceful temple that was close to the Heavenly Stellar City's north gate. Ye Tian Xie had never been here before, and in fact, there were only a few players that had even come here because there were no quests to be found in this area. Moreover, the atmosphere around this area was not something modern people liked. There were many players that were doubtful of why a temple like this existed. Could there be a Hidden Job like Monk or Buddhist?
The three large system quest maps were all accessible through the Flowerless Temple's monk and this announcement should have caused all the Chinese players to gather around the temple. But when Ye Tian Xie arrived, he did not see the existence of any other players.
After the system announcement was broadcasted, the most obvious situation should have been……All the famous players of the server should have rushed to the quest's map and tried to complete the quest as soon as possible, but because players could only access the map once every three days and adding in the high difficulty it had, all the players were all being cautious before coming here. Not only did they need to prepare supplies, they also needed to form the strongest teams with the most suitable Jobs. If they rushed into the map, they would be wasting an opportunity to enter the map and would have to wait another three days before going in again.
So, while all the strong and confident players were preparing themselves, a player like Ye Tian Xie……someone who did not need any preparations to come did not exist aside from him.
The Flowerless Temple was very peaceful, and he did not hear a single sound after he stepped inside. The temple courtyard was very big and very tidy. When he walked to the center of the courtyard, he finally heard the sound of a wooden block being hit and the sound of someone chanting…….The content of the chanting made Ye Tian Xie's face twitch.
Stepping into the room, there was only a single Buddha statue there with an old monk sitting on the floor hitting a wooden block. The Buddha looked like the Tathagata Buddha, which gave Ye Tian Xie a feeling like he had just entered a modern temple.
Seeing someone enter, the old monk stopped chanting and looked up to stare at him. He directly said, ”Young otherworlder, did you come to be teleported? In front of you are three different tests of strength and bravery. Are you and your comrades prepared?”
”Oh, I'm prepared. Send me to the Heavenly Soul Tomb.” Since the old monk was being this forward, then Ye Tian Xie naturally would not waste words.
”Heavenly Soul Tomb…..Oh! That is a sacred place with countless mercenary groups frequently visiting to wors.h.i.+p the Mercenary King. The one thing is that it is too close to the Tower of Destiny and when the Moment of Destiny disappeared three years ago, demon qi entered into that area and formed many terrifying undead creatures using the deathly yin qi there. There have been only a few people that have dared to go since…..Oh! You are currently only level sixteen and it is dangerous for you to go there, are you certain you wish to go?” The old monk asked.
