Chapter 215: Forest Trial (4) (1/2)

While Lin Xiao did want to have fire because it was warm, he was also a cultivator. Cultivator didn't really feel the night to be cold because the Qi inside his body had kept the temperature of his body mostly the same. There was no need for him to worry about the hot of the day and cold at the night to a certain degree.

Making fire at this time would only attract other cultivators to come to their places. He was not stupid enough to try something like that and put his life on the risk.

The night passed quietly.

Probably it was because the forest was large but the three of them hadn't met with any other disciples along the way. They journey was also very smooth as they only encountered several beasts that was weaker than them.

When it was morning, Lin Xiao was the first to make his move.

”Let's go. We've rested enough.”

”Ok.”

Swish!

Choosing to follow the river in one direction, Lin Xiao wondered whether their decision would be correct. As he followed the river, his keen senses detected some people who were located not far from them.

”There are people.”

”Shall we make detour?” Sui Wenyan asked. She didn't really want to meet anyone because potential conflict might occur.

”Hmm, sure.”

Lin Xiao side stepped to the side in order to enter the forest. As long as he still could hear the river's water movement, they wouldn't lose their sight from the river so easily. Making a small detour shouldn't be hard.

Bang!

The sound of fighting came to their ear. Lin Xiao was stunned and turned his eyes to the direction of the sound and realized that there was a young man in the center of the mess. The young man was looking at his three opponents, which one had already been attacked, with wariness.

”He's alone?” Lin Xiao was stunned.

”Well, it's possible to travel by yourself if you get separated from your group. Besides, the total number of students in the academy couldn't be divided by three,” Sui Wenyan said in hesitation.

Lin Xiao nodded and looked at the young man. ”Luo Lan?”

”Who?” Sui Wenyan was stunned.

”A snobby kid,” Lin Xiao replied. If Luo Lan knew that he was called that way by Lin Xiao, he would have flipped out and try to challenge him. However, Lin Xiao truly didn't expect to see Luo Lan here again. They were indeed in the same academy, but they rarely met each other because the academy was so big.

Since neither side was close to each other, why should they bother with each other's lives.

”Heh, since you're already here, just give up, Luo Lan!”

”If you don't want to lose your lives, destroy your plate and leave the forest!”

Luo Lan's face was dark as he looked at the three people before him. The three of them were all disciples of Wang Luo Sect. However, the sect always taught them to never trust anyone, including those of the same sects. It often resulted in conflict between the disciples and yet, the elders wouldn't do anything to solve it.

They went by the principle that to be strong, they have to overcome all the adversities by themselves without the need of help from others.
