C267 Fire Dance (2/2)
The group continued to jog and laugh on the prairie. Seeing that it was already late in the night, they took advantage of the darkness of the night to fly back.
Although everyone was happy about Xue Ge's sudden improvement in cultivation, even the usually open-minded Chang Jing was feeling terrible in her heart. No matter what she said, she was still their teacher, but her cultivation was still lower than their own student's.
In the future, these four people would be even more hardworking in their magic cultivation. Although their cultivation could not be said to have advanced by a thousand miles every day, there was still some rapid improvement.
In the blink of an eye, the five of them returned to their temporary residence, an ordinary courtyard in the city.
Chang Jing had specifically requested for this courtyard of the Four Great Sacred Grounds, he said that since her brothers already had places to go, then there was no need to stay and disturb the other nine people who were selected. Instead, it would be better for him to find a place to stay. Initially, Yin Man did not agree, but seeing Chang Jing's insistence on adding on the temptation of ”the cultivation of magic and martial arts is also of great benefit”, she willingly convinced the other people in the worship hall and then went out to help them find a house that was built following the example of a Aragorn citizen.
As soon as the five of them entered the courtyard, they were stopped by a candidate standing guard at the entrance.
”Boss, Miss Yin Man has been waiting for you for a long time!”
Although he was curious as to why these five people had so much dried grass on them, he suppressed the urge to ask because of the strict rules regarding levels.
”Mm, got it.” Chang Jing smiled and asked him, ”Do you know why she came to look for me? She can't be here to discuss the entrance ceremony with me, right?”
”This one doesn't know, Miss Yin Man ran straight to your room the moment she entered, and did not even say a word to us!”
”Looks like something big has happened!” Chang Jing's heart tightened. She hurriedly greeted the few of them and went straight to her room, thinking about what had happened that made her so anxious to see him.
When Chang Jing entered the room, she found that Yin Man was already sitting there, rubbing her hands together from time to time, looking very nervous.
”What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?”
Seeing him enter, Yin Man immediately walked over, and said, ”Not good, something big has happened!”
”What happened?” Chang Jing thought back to the past few days, and knew that their whereabouts would not be exposed, thus she calmed her heart and said, ”The sky has fallen, and there are still people supporting them, what are they worrying about!”
”Something big really happened this time!” Yin Man saw that he did not believe him, and anxiously said, ”This time's entrance examination has been changed, do you know, it is not as simple as the past competitions!”
”Is this what you meant by major event?” Chang Jing walked to the chair and slowly sat down, and said, ”I thought something would happen, why not change it, what is there to be afraid of!”
”You don't know this!” Seeing that he was still not in a rush, Yin Man became even more anxious, ”Originally, I already had a good relationship with those people, as long as you enter the stage, even if it's a fair fight, I can guarantee that you will win, but after being changed like that by upper management, it's all over, everything is unknown now!”
”Unknown?” Although Chang Jing was not afraid, her curiosity was piqued, ”Then tell me what kind of competition we're fighting now, it can't be another physical fitness exam or something like that, if that's the case, at least we won't have to get hurt or something like that!”
”What a beautiful dream!” Yin Man saw that he was still in the mood to joke and could not help but to shout out, ”The assessment program has been changed to go to the villages near Dark Forest to investigate something, and the victor will be found. Those who do not will be eliminated!”
”Just the few of us?”
”Yes, just the nine of you can go! ”As for the investigation, even I still don't know what it is. I've heard that I'll only tell you about it after you guys depart!”
”Then let's just investigate and see. There's nothing to do anyway!”
Chang Jing was indifferent but in her heart, she was anxious. Since this was the case, they would have to leave this place for a period of time. Going out wouldn't be a big deal, but the problem was that the only reason she had made this much of a name for herself was to get close to that elusive Holy-rank expert in the ”Erde's Sacrifice Hall” — but now, he seemed to be getting further and further away from her original goal …
After Yin Man, who was burning with anxiety, left, Chang Jing gathered the other eight people present and simply conveyed Yin Man's meaning to them. After that, she told them to go back and prepare, leaving Huo Wu and the other three people behind.
”Teacher now wants to hear your opinions,” Chang Jing organized the language she wanted to express and said, ”Do you guys think that we should listen to the orders to go to the Dark Forest or do the five of us sneak into the Guardian Hall together to find out the truth?”
”Of course to the Dark Forest!” Huo Wu was the first to stand up and suggested, ”As the name implies, Dark Forest is a very dangerous and exciting place. Let's go there and try out our skills!”
