Chapter 349 - A MAN AND A CAT (2/2)

”We got a problem with that though. How do you expect Teacher Nana to assist us if we are not even willing to tell her what exactly did they saw in the Jar of Misfortune??? Have you forgot it already??? She asked Long Yue and Su Yan (Mu Lingxi) about it this morning but they refused to tell her about it and told her instead that it was nothing.”

Fan Lei reminded them.

”Then we could just tell Teacher Nana what our friends saw inside the Jar of Misfortune??? Is it not that simple?”

Chan Gu suggested and Fan Lei supported his suggestion right away.

”Right, We should at least do as much as that, if we would like to ask a favor from her. ”

”Well, yeah about that. I was just wondering about it. No matter how hard I try to reason out to myself, I just can't find the point of hiding it to Teacher Nana? Why did you two guys, even hide it from her in the first place?”

Yun Xue butted in and his time, his question was directed to Mu Lingxi and Long Yue.

”Well, you know that there were many ears listening at that time. Considering that what they saw might be related to Schoolmaster Yin, don't you think that it was even a wise move from them not to divulge it that easily? Besides, what good would it brought us if they revealed the truth before all of them???? Won't it just only complicate things for our group as well once our classmates found out that we used to accept a direct mission from Schoolmaster Yin, himself??”

”Hmmm.. It was indeed wise of them that they had already considered as much as that, After all,  Schoolmaster Yin personally asked us to conduct that mission at the Sanguine Tundra with utmost secrecy since it was also related to his study of souls.

”Well, since the ancient chalice was something that involves his personal gains, it was only normal for Schoolmaster Yin not to want anyone from learning about that mission. Besides, we also benefitted from it. Because we needed Schoolmaster Yin's knowledge in soul arts to speed up Luna's recovery.”

”Exactly! Won't it only make it look bad for the schoolmaster's image if it would be made known to many that he used to order around some student warlocks into getting an item for him, for his own disposal?? Some might even suspect him from overusing his influence as the schoolmaster if news leaked out.”

Before Mu Lingxi and Long Yue could even give their friends the actual reason why they choose not to tell Teacher Nana about the thing that they saw in the Jar of Misfortune, Chan Gu and the others already engaged themselves into discourse

”Guys, the thing is we have not told you everything, yet. There was more to the image that we saw in the water inside the Jar of Misfortune.

Long Tue confessed guiltily.

”Right. We do tell you that we saw the lady escaped the ancient chalice as well as the fact that there was someone else's body lying on the ground motionlessly beside it. But more than that, we also deliberately left out the part that there was also another silhouette that we saw inside the image. It was a silhouette of a man and a cat. It was quite blurred and it was if they were standing and watching from afar.”

”A man and a cat, you say?? Then would that mean that it could be any of you two??? So once the day of misfortune comes, either the two of you will be present there at the scene to witness it”

Asked Chan Gu.

They all know that both Long Yue and Su Yan (Mu Lingxi) had a cat of their own.

So if they did saw a silhouette of a man and cat together in the image, then would that mean that it was either the two of them???

”Hey, you nut job! What are you even thinking?! Why?!!! Is Long Yue and Su Yan the only person in the world that owns a cat??? It could be someone else. Why does it have to be one of our friends automatically? Do you think this world just revolved around our group???”

Yun Xue berated Chan Gu.

”Well, yeah.. ahhhmmm. You must be right. But, I am just saying though. Why are you even more affected than them???”

”TSK!”

”Anyways, I also think that we need Teacher Nana's help. Let's just leave out the part about the silhouette of a man and cat once we told her about what you two saw in the water.”

Before their attention could even continue to drift farther away, Fan Lei already decided to cut his friends nonsense bickerings and talked about their next course of action.

With that being said, the group change route heading first to the Teacher Hall to meet Teacher Nana before going to Schoolmaster Yin's office.
