Chapter 352: Checkpoint (1/2)
Yang Wei didn't know how to respond to Shan Zhilan's teasing tone.
After all, he could feel a dreadful pressure hitting him mentally as Jing Feng held a deadly gaze at him.
'Maybe I should have stayed in that dimension longer…' Yang Wei thought as he smiled awkwardly.
”S-Shouldn't we be boarding the flying treasure then?” Yang Wei asked.
”W-We'll be even more late if we were to delay any longer,” he added.
At the same time, he held a pleading gaze at Jing Feng, hoping that she would help him out in this situation and not stay idle.
Alas, Jing Feng seemed to turn nervous as she avoided his gaze.
'Damn it, if it weren't for the fact that Shan Zhilan wanted to expose my weak moment to Yang Wei, I wouldn't have let her do it.' Jing Feng thought.
Although she knew she was being a bit selfish here, she wanted to remain graceful and calm-minded for Yang Wei.
Thus, without any assistance from anyone, Yang Wei was constantly teased by Shan Zhilan until she could no longer delay their journey any longer.
”Yang Wei, I'll tease you another time,” Shan Zhilan whispered sweetly as she walked toward the flying treasure.
Meanwhile, Yang Wei held a bittersweet smile as he looked helplessly at Jing Feng.
”Why didn't you save me?” Yang Wei asked.
”It's not like Shan Zhilan meant you any harm. She just loves to tease people like you, and nothing else.” Jing Feng shrugged her shoulders as she followed Shan Zhilan.
'Jing Feng… she's really acting weird lately,' Yang Wei wondered silently.
Sometime later, Yang Wei and the rest boarded the flying treasure.
”Hey, Yang Wei… where were you for the last month?” Meng Yan asked as she sat across Yang Wei.
Yang Wei didn't know how to respond to her question.
Her relationship with Meng Pao made it difficult for Yang Wei to reveal anything related to the Misty Forest incident.
After all, there was no telling that she wouldn't relay the information to her father.
Blood is always thicker than water and they were only friends.
Thus, Yang Wei gave a mysterious smile and answered, ”Nothing much, I was just out training my martial techniques and cultivating.”
What he just said wasn't really a lie since he had been training the entire time during the incident.
Meanwhile, Meng Yan simply made an O shape in her mouth as she nodded her head.
”I see…”
”Anyway Meng Yan, why are you boarding the flying treasure with us?” Yang Wei asked as he quickly changed the topic.
”Well, it's because I wanted to participate in the sect tournament.” Meng Yan replied swiftly.
”I wanted to tell everyone that even without the backing of my father, I can still cultivate and become strong in another sect.” She added.
Yang Wei nodded his head.
Right when he was about to speak, another person interrupted them as she sat in their conversation.
It was Lian Xinyue who held a curious expression at Yang Wei.
”What are you doing here, Lian Xinyue?” Meng Yan asked with a slightly displeased expression. ”We're chatting here, so it would be best if you sit somewhere else.”
Lian Xinyue ignored her comment as she glanced at Yang Wei.
”Am I not allowed to sit here?” She asked him.
Yang Wei twitched his mouth.
'There are so many seats available… why are you all wanting to sit next to me?' He cried inwardly.
If anyone was in his current position, they would be crying tears of joy and even thanked heaven for the blessing.
However, Yang Wei knew he was on the brink of meeting death.
That was because ever since he boarded the flying treasure, he had been sensed by Jing Feng's spiritual perception.
Just one mistake from him could spell the end of his life.
”Sure, I don't see why not,” Yang Wei replied awkwardly. While secretly, he prayed for the flying treasure to go faster so he can keep some distance away from them.
One of them had a father that wanted him dead.
Another one had a grandfather that almost made him experience a backlash in his cultivation and injured him in the meantime with the excuse of a test.
As Yang Wei lamented on his ill fate, a few hours had quickly passed by and Shan Zhilan finally announced something.
