Chapter 85 - An Illusion... (1/2)
The little girl blinked her eyes and said.
Su Ling'er: Yun… Che? Such a strange name… Uuu… Why does it sound strange…
Jean: Hahaha, is it that strange?
Su Ling'er strongly blinked again, and with a slightly serious and cute face she said.
Su Ling'er: Big brother, have we met before in the past? Why do I feel as though I have met big brother somewhere… Even big brother's name, has little… sense of familiarity to it.
Jean: ...I don't know… Anyway, what do you think of becoming friends? 'What are actually the chances I time-traveled?'
Su Ling'er: Mn! As long as big brother doesn't hate me, I'm willing to become very good friends with big brother!
Jean: Good girl…
He started to pet her as if she was a puppy, and she seemed to like it seeing how she held her eyes closed and smiling.
Jean: So, Ling'er, where's your home? And why are those people trying to capture you?
Ling'er's small hand moved away from her sides, and she pointed to the north.
Su Ling'er: My home is over there. It's not too far away from here. At first, Papa was suppose to bring me out to play today but while we were walking, a lot of black-clothed people suddenly appeared. Papa began fighting with those black-clothed people, and told me to quickly run away…
So I kept running, and after running quite far away, suddenly, those three bad people from earlier appeared and chased after me together… If big brother did not save me, I might have already been captured by them. Uuu… I don't know what happened to Papa either, but since Papa is so strong, he's definitely able to beat up all those bad people.
Jean just noticed that due to the running and tripping she experienced, Su Ling'er's shoes were full of dirt, the corners of her skirt were also dirtied by a large amount, and a big bruise was on her leg. So he knelt down and held her small leg.
Jean: Ling'er, did you fall and injure yourself? Does it hurt?
Su Ling'er: A little… But it's alreadt not that painful anymore.
Jean: Hmm, you know, I am a really good doctor, I am also a magician!
He said with a mysterious voice, and Su Ling'er seemed atttacted from the last claim.
Su Ling'er: A… Magician…?
Su Ling'er: Huh? Impossible! Papa told me that there doesn't exist any Profound Art that can do it.
Jean pointed down, and when Su Ling'er looked down, there wasn't anymore that bruise she had before, the skin also seemed new, as if nothing happened.
Su Ling'er: Waaaah!
She was surprised and looked at Jean with wide eyes.
Su Ling'er: How did you do it?! I didn't felt anything!
Jean: A magician never reveals his tricks.
...He used Compulsory…
Jean: So, Ling'er, can you tell me where I am? I came a from a place very far away, so I don't even know where this place is.
Su Ling'er: A place very far away? It's no wonder big brother Yun Che is not the least bit old, yet is as incredible as Papa. You must have came from those incredible places in those legends, right? Papa told me, in those incredible places, there are many very incredible people, and there are people that are even more incredible that Papa…
Ah! Oh right, I almost forgot to answer big brother Yun Che's question…
My home is called the ”Grandwake Clan”, and it's at the bottom of the tallest mountain over there. That mountain is called ”Grandwake Mountain”. Big brother Yun Che, have you ever heard of that mountain? Papa told me that our home's mountain is very famous in the Azure Cloud Continent, you kno-
Jean: PFFFFT!! *Cough* *Cough*
Saliva was stuck in his throat when he heard where he was, he placed an hand on his neck and coughed it out, meanwhile he made Su Ling'er worry a bit.
Su Ling'er: Big brother! What's happening?!
Jean: Nothing… I think my hearing is betraying me… You… You said Azure Cloud Continent?
