Chapter 171 – Water Monster! (2/2)

“Because we also treat you as a friend. A trustworthy friend.”

“Thank you.” Li Muyang was overwhelmed by the intensity of emotion rus.h.i.+ng through him, there's a feeling of exhilaration, an overflowing of happiness.

No one has said something like that to him for a long time. Once there was a girl who also treated him like that. She told him to put down his burden, work hard and not abandon himself.

Sadly, she ultimately left.

Qiandu narrowed her eyes in a quizzical smile, saying: “At this time, shouldn't you shake hands with me? It's a rude thing to leave a young lady's hand hanging in mid-air.”

“Oh. Sorry——” Li Muyang hurriedly reached out to shake Qiandu's slender, soft hand.

Qiandu beckoned Lin Canghai to come over. Lin Canghai slowly walked over, glaring with burning hostility.

Qiandu pointed at Li Muyang, saying: “He is still our friend, isn't that right?”

“We may think so, but I'm afraid other people don't think like that?” Lin Canghai said irritably, fixing Li Muyang with a petulant glare.

“I don't want to force you.” Qiandu's lips curved upwards into a smile, saying: “Time reveals a person's heart.”

“I hope so.” Lin Canghai's eyes were still as cold as before.

Just as the three of them were preparing to return to school, they heard noises similar to someone fighting.

“Someone is fighting.” Lin Canghai exclaimed.

“On top of Broken Mountain, there are many students and teachers of Starry Sky——Let's go have a look.” Qiandu said.

Just as the three of them were still talking, they dashed right towards where the noise came from.

Lin Canghai, refusing to a.s.sociate with Li Muyang, vanished in one swift movement.

Qiandu trod with rapid, light steps as if she barely touched the ground, moving across the ground in silent like she was gliding.

The most exhausted was Li Muyang. Not only does he not know any leaping techniques, his cultivation level is also not high——or it can be said that he's just started. He could only rely on the little strength within his body to climb the mountain and cut through the forests.

There is a waterfall, and beneath the waterfall is an unfathomable cold pond. The pond water is dark like ink, with only water ripples spreading and moving across the surface of the water.

By the time Qiandu and Li Muyang rushed over, Lin Canghai was already standing on a huge rock, his gleaming eyes fixed intently on the deep water.

Seeing Qiandu coming over, he whispered: “There's a monster in the water.”

As he spoke, a dark figure soared out of the deep water.

His body leapt into the air, his hand clasping a long sword that slashed in one quick, sharp movement in the direction of the pond.

Bang——

A silver ball of light smashed against the surface of the water, and then abruptly the deep water turned stormy, rolling up a giant wave. A huge shadow evident from below the water surface was struck by the silver ball, and with a howl, dived deep into the pond.

“Chu Xun.” Lin Canghai has sharp eyes; with one glance he could see who flashed out their sword in mid-air. Anxiously, he said: “It's Chu Xun.”
