Chapter 267 - If It Steals The Light Away (2/2)

This is Lin Luoran’s guess. She doesn’t even know the right way to use the Dragon Marrow. At this moment, she reminds of what is written in the bamboo sheets from the Han tomb. According to the bamboo sheets, the treasures in the Dragon Palace include an elixir that can repair a broken hand except for the spirited wood which “nourishes souls”. Lin Luoran has been raising funds to clean the Dongting Lake. She looks forward to whatever she will find later in the Dragon Palace. It will be perfect if she can find the elixir and cure the young cultivator’s hand. If not, she will figure out another way.

Lin Luoran tries to comfort the young cultivator and she doesn’t give him a solid answer. Sometimes, giving empty hope to others will turn friends.h.i.+p into hate when things don’t work out smoothly.

Seeing that Lin Luoran has done emergency treatments to the injured, the young cultivator who asked about the condition of Mu Tiannan’s cousin, asks again, “Master, what should we do now?”

Lin Luoran notices that people’s spirit in the yard is low and she wants to give the cultivators more confidence. She asks smilingly, “What’s your name?”

The young cultivator glances at Wen Guanjing, who is trying to pretend not to know this young man, and replies, “My name is Wen Runlan. I’m from the Wen family on Mount Zu.”

Turns out that this young man is a member of the Wen family. At this crucial moment, the famous families of the world of cultivation can surprisingly work together. They are willing to send here the younger generation of the family in danger. Lin Luoran now has changed her bad impression of those families.

Everybody starts to smile. Lin Luoran and Wen Runlan’s conversation has drawn everybody’s attention from the helplessness after the darkness falls.

A while later, Wen Runlan realizes that Lin Luoran is just lulling him like he is a baby. He says grumpily, “Master, you haven’t answered my question yet!”

Lin Luoran realizes that everybody is waiting for her answer. She doesn’t know when she has become the pillar of these cultivators.

“Runlan, let’s say that if someone suddenly turns off the light in your room, what is he up to?”

Wen Runlan sniffs, “To scare me?”

Wen Runlan is over 18 years old and he is so honest. He is nothing like Wen Guanjing. Lin Luoran looks at Wen Guanjing and sees him blus.h.i.+ng because of his younger brother’s naïve answer. Wen Guanjing turns away, not wanting to look at this.

Lin Luoran bursts of dry coughs, “If someone turns off the light, he is just trying to scare you, trap you, or to delay you because he is not able to fight you.”

Wen Runlan doesn’t fully understand Lin’s words. He says, “Delay us… What should we do then?”

Lin Luoran looks at the luminous flower in her hand and smiles, “If someone steals your light, we shall just wait.”

Wait for what? Wait for the bat to become anxious and come out itself.

Do you think that I’ll send my people to search the yard and the rooms so that you can kill them one by one?

No way!

Lin Luoran claps her hands and asks, “Are you guys hungry? I have lots of food. We can eat while we wait.”

The cultivators are speechless. Master Lin always seems to be so cold and she just wants to eat in this nervous situation… Is this the difference between talented people and the ordinary ones? Master Lin is so strong in mind! Wow!

While smiling, Lin Luoran looks at the dark spots where the luminous flowers can’t light up.

The bat monster must have a strong spiritual mind. It has covered the entire school within its spiritual mind and Lin Luoran can’t feel anything. What is it up to? Will her plan be solid enough? Lin Luoran has a little doubt.

At this time, Wen Guanjing holds Lin Luoran’s hands when no one is looking.

His hand warms up Lin’s cold hand. Lin Luoran’s eyelids twitch, then she notices that Wen Guanjing is staring at her without looking away. Lin knows that this is nothing romantic. Wen is encouraging her.

Lin Luoran is having a subtle feeling that though she has laid foundation before Wen does, Wen Guanjing remains a comfort to her heart like he is still her “brother Wen”.

The situation has gone in another direction. The cultivators outside of the wall, as well as Lu Sanchun, must be so worried.

We have to get out more quickly. Should she make the attack?

Lin Luoran is not sure.
