Chapter 139: Seeking Help (1/2)

After noticing Yang Wei had fallen asleep, Elder Jing opened her eyelid slightly to glance at him.

'This Yang Wei actually got furious for once…' Elder Jing exclaimed inwardly as she was surprised by his fierce attitude toward Lian Xinyue.

She pretended to be unconscious to see what Lian Xinyue was trying to do and was surprised to see her bombarding Yang Wei with questions regarding his relationship.

'Who would have thought Yang Wei got angry because Lian Xinyue's tone was too loud?' Elder Jing smiled briefly as she stared at the calm and relaxing expression of Yang Wei.

He was sleeping soundly yet his hand remained on her shoulders, almost like he was afraid of losing her during his sleep.

Shortly after, Elder Jing decided to truly sleep this time as she received some warmth from Yang Wei's body.

Sometime later, an unknown number of unknown hours had passed before Elder Pao Huang came rushing toward Elder Jing.

”E-Elder Jing… there's an emergency-” Elder Pao Huang shouted as he tried to ask Elder Jing for help but halted his words when he saw the scene in front of him.

His eye socket seemed to pop out as he quickly rubbed his eyes to check if he was seeing some illusion.

'What is Yang Wei doing? He's leaning on Elder Jing's shoulder…' Elder Pao Huang was shocked speechless as he saw this ambiguous scene that would cause a lot of rumors and gossip

Meanwhile, Elder Jing opened her eyelid as she glanced at Elder Pao Huang in a confused expression.

”What are you shouting so early in the morning?” Elder Jing then asked, disregarding Elder Pao Huang's shocked expression completely.

Elder Pao Huang twitched his mouth as he coughed slightly and signaled her something with his eyes to tell Elder Jing her current position.

Elder Jing noticed his meaning as she tilted her head slightly and saw Yang Wei sleeping calmly on her shoulders.

Afterward, Elder Jing smiled briefly at Yang Wei's cute face before looking back at Elder Pao Huang.

”Yang Wei is sleeping soundly so what about it?” Elder Jing said, causing Elder Pao Huang to vomit blood as he wondered if he was still dreaming in his sleep.

”Y-Yang Wei is sleeping on your shoulder, Elder Jing. H-How is that not a big deal to you?” Elder Pao Huang said, hoping his direct words can help Elder Jing understand the current situation.

It was considered taboo for a sect elder and disciples to have such close intimacy and Elder Pao Huang did not want Elder Jing to become a topic of gossip.

Although he was afraid of Elder Jing, he also deeply respected her from the bottom of his heart.

”Elder Jing… I don't want to be a nosy person but I believe your relationship with Yang Wei shouldn't be this close. After all, he's a disciple in our sect whereas you are the respected sect elder.” Elder Pao Huang then said.

Elder Jing chuckled softly at Elder Pao Haung's words.

”Have you ever seen me care about other people's opinion about me?” Elder Jing asked calmly as she showed a nonchalant expression.

Elder Pao Huang shook his head and sighed softly. Since he knew Elder Jing was someone who would do something as long as she decided on it, there was no way to change her mind.

Thus, Elder Pao Huang gave up convincing Elder Jing to stop the ambiguous relationship with Yang Wei and started relaying the information that he came here for.

”Elder Jing, there are other people seeking help and hoping to live in the cave as well to avoid the demons.” Elder Pao Huang said.

Elder Jing raised her eyebrow slightly as she wondered who was able to find the cave when she concealed it perfectly.

”Who are these people seeking help. And more importantly, just how did they find this secretive cave?” Elder Jing asked as she placed Yang Wei's head slowly on the wall to lean on.

Afterward, she stood up and started tidying up her clothes as she became serious.

Elder Pao Huang didn't dare to delay as he quickly said, ”It was Elder Pan Cheng and Elder Fang Yunru with their disciples coming in here to seek help. At the same time, they have spotted a demon who started eating and consuming a magical beast when they were dropped from the sky.”

”Drop from the sky?” Elder Jing ignored the part about them seeking help and was instead curious about how they managed to re-appear when she couldn't sense their presence at all.

Elder Pao Huang was dazed for a bit before he explained their situation, ”Uh- Yes, they have mentioned about reaching the inheritance area but there was nothing but an empty chest. Afterward, they were all teleported outside and the first thing they saw was a demon.”

Elder Jing nodded in understanding and asked, ”So where are they currently located?”
