Chapter 180 - Dont You Think Its Strange? (1/2)

(Tom's PoV)

”Is she exhausted after using her power like that?” I asked Siji who had just finished examining Jane.

Siji frowned and shook his head. ”I don't think so. Her flow of energy and spiritual power are still fine. That much of energy and spiritual power are nothing for her.”

”Then, why?” Sanji asked.

”I don't know. It's like she has just experienced something that shook her psychologically.” Siji answered. ”What happened there?” He looked at me.

Shaking her psychologically? I squinted my eyes as I tried to remember what could be the trigger.

Was it that time? When she peered into the old man's mind? What did she see, actually?

”Actually, I don't really know, but there was one time where she peeked into the man's mind to see why the old man said that her father was cruel. But, after that she was fine so I thought it was nothing. But, seeing her now, I start to doubt it. What happened actually?”

Hearing my explanation, both Siji and Sanji couldn't say anything. This matter, we could only wait for her to explain it for us. It was only if she was willing to share with us.

”Let's set our camps here. With her losing her consciousness like that, I don't think we can continue with our journey. Let's take a rest and continue when she awakes later.” Sanji suggested.

”Good idea.” I nodded.

”I'll set up her tent first so that you can take her inside.” Sanji stood up and found a clearing before he set up a tent for Jane.

He looked so skillful, as if he had done it often. In no time, Jane's tent had stood on the ground. Sanji had even laid down a small and thin mattress on the ground inside, complete with a set of pillow and blanket for her. Nice job, though.

After setting her down in her own tent, I came out and came face to face with Sanji. ”I'll look around and gather some fire woods.” I said to him.

Sanji nodded before he set up another tent nearby. I left him and went deeper into the forest. Sometimes I would stop and took some fire woods into my hands before I continued walking. After I thought I had walked far enough from the camp site, I stopped.

”Siji.” I called out. Siji appeared before me. He must have noticed my solemn expression since he didn't say anything like usual.

”Do you know anything about Jane's father? You better tell me.” I looked at him.

”General, it's better for you to ask Milady directly. I'm afraid it's not my place to talk about her father.” He answered politely.
