127 The Girl With The Red Pendan (1/2)

Although her decision to run was a rational one, the direction she was running to was away from Xiao Hei. She didn't care that Xiao Hei had helped her out of this sticky situation, the feeling she got from her was far more terrifying than anything she felt from any of the insect-type beasts.

When Bai Fan was far enough away, she finally put the girl down then tried to wake her up.

*Cough Cough Cough*

The girl opened her eyes then saw Bai Fan, but in the next moment she began to panic as she quickly got back up. To her surprise they were completely alone.

”Bai Fan, what are you doing here? Where did they all go?”

”You don't remember what happened?”

”No, I don't. One moment I was running from a swarm, the next moment I'm waking up here.”

”Li Xiang, I told you not to trust people so easily,” Bai Fan scolded here.

Li Xiang was the sole daughter of the Patriarch of the Li Family Clan, unlike the cold-hearted beauty, Bai Fan, Li Xiang was much more playful and kind-hearted.

Bai Fan didn't like making friends, but Li Xiang was someone she paid close attention to. Even if they weren't friends, Bai Fan would often go on missions with her and regularly challenge her to fights. She did this because Li Xiang was the same age as her and also in the 7th stage of the refinement realm. There was no one else Bai Fan's age that could rival her, but not only was Li Xiang just as talented as her, she was also just as skilled as well.

...

Li Xiang was embarrassed that she was saved by her rival, so she didn't even offer a word of thanks, not that Bai Fan wanted one anyways.

”How the hell did you even get so many spirit beasts to chase after you anyways?” Bai Fan finally asked.

”Ah, you see...” Li Xiang smiled bitterly as she scratched the back of her neck. She paused so that she could think of a way to make her actions seem less foolish than it really was.

Bai Fan sighed as she could guess what had happened. Even if they weren't really friends, Bai Fan had been around Li Xiang for long enough to know just the kind of mischievous person she was. Perhaps the girl that backstabbed Li Xiang wasn't totally unjustified after all.

”Just forget it, I don't want to know,” Bai Fan said before she started leaving.

Li Xiang followed behind her.

”Don't follow me.”

The truth was Bai Fan didn't want Li Xiang following her because she didn't know what calamity Li Xiang would bring upon her. She was the kind of girl to do something dangerous just for the fun of it.

”Sister Bai, let's team up. How am I supposed to save you if you run away from me.”

”If you keep following me, you're going to need to save yourself from me.”

A dangerous look suddenly appeared in Bai Fan's eyes as she stopped running and turned around. In the next second, she executed a powerful spirit technique and aimed it straight at Li Xiang. With this attack she hoped to scare Li Xiang off.

Li Xiang reciprocated with a powerful technique of her own, cancelling hers out.

”You see? If you really wanted to hurt me, you wouldn't have used such a weak technique.”

Bai Fan's eyes twitched out of annoyance. She knew that Li Xiang knew her attack wasn't weak at all. She was just trying to get under her skin like usual.

”Oh, common. Please let me come with you. These forests are too dangerous. It would be better if we teamed up.”

Truth was, having Li Xiang as a partner would actually be a really good idea for passing the exam quicker. Also, knowing Li Xiang's character, she wouldn't stop annoying her until she got what she wanted.

Bai Fan sighed.

”Alright, let's team up.”

The 2 girls resumed running through the forest when Li Xiang noticed that Bai Fan was following some kind of path as if she was familiar with the area.

”Bai Fan, are we going somewhere specific?”

”Yeah, I'm going back to where I rescued you from.”
