Chapter 208 (1/2)

“Where is Master now?” This was what Qi Aoshuang was worried about.

“I do not know.” Jean shook his head. “After Master Cliff disappeared, he was never to be seen again.”

Qi Aoshuang frowned, looking down dejectedly. She knew very well how Master felt towards Lawrence. Lawrence was Master’s only friend, the only person he treated genuinely as a friend, but because of her her, this had happened…

Leng Lingyun closed his eyes, not saying a word. However, his grief was evident.

“Perhaps Amparkland regrets becoming enemies with you now,” Ben said disdainfully, “now that they’ve witnessed you heavily wound the Temple of Light and lost both Master Cliff and the Dragon Knight Jean, yet they haven’t even caught of glimpse of you.”

Everyone was silent.

“Enough. What are you guys doing?” Ben was annoyed. “You masters didn’t die or anything, Aoshuang, you’re not dead either. Once your master finds you, you can just destroy the root of the problem and everything will be resolved, right?”

Qi Aoshuang sighed quietly. “Yes. I don’t want Master to lose his only friend because of me.”

“Then we just have to work faster.” Ben raised his fist eagerly.

“Have you heard anything about Walter?” Qi Aoshuang suddenly remembered the person who was so cowardly and fearful of death, yet refused to abandon her.

“Walter…” Jean shook his head. “I did not hear anything. As a Dark magician, he won’t expose his whereabouts so easily. But he definitely knows what happened to you. Perhaps he is even looking for you.”

Qi Aoshuang took a moment to think, but did not say anything.

“Let’s rest here tonight. We have a long journey ahead of us tomorrow morning.” Jean looked at Vermillion, who sat not far away. Gently, he said, “Vermillion is also tired.

Everyone agreed and started setting up camp.

“Aoshuang, you seem to be much stronger than before. When can we spar?” Ben laughed.

Qi Aoshuang ignored Ben’s mischievous smile, preparing the firewood with Jean instead. Ben continued to chatter despite her disregard. Meanwhile, Oscar sat silently to the side.

Jean stood up. “I’ll go catch some hares.”

“Go, go. Get some fat ones.” Ben laughed.

Jean walked over to Vermillion and said quietly, “Vermillion, let’s go.”

“Master?” Vermillion was a little surprised that Jean would approach her.

“To catch some hares.” Jean did not say another word.

Vermillion didn’t say anything either, following Jean silently. And so, the human and dragon walked into the forest, not silent the entire way.

Once they were a distance away, Jean said quietly, “Vermillion…”

“Hmm? Master?” Vermillion blinked.

Jean turned around and stared at Vermillion. “Vermillion, you… don’t like Miss,” he said calmly.

Vermillion’s expression shifted. She stared back at Jean blankly. Never had she imagined Jean could be so direct. She was even more surprised by the fact that Jean would able to see through her.

Vermillion lowered her head, biting her lip, silent.

Jean did not speak either, only waiting quietly.
