887 So Long! (2/2)
He didn't refuse the responsibility. Instead, he was quite happy to do this.
Right after Ye Xiao left the sect, Zhan Yunfei followed immediately.
Certainly, Ye Chongxiao didn't know it.
Zhan Yunfei was feeling quite good about it at the beginning though. [Young man, go travel your martial world!]
[You have no idea. Others are risking their lives in the martial world, while you have a super powerful guard behind you…]
[You are totally different from the others.]
However, after one day, he was shocked.
After they went across a forest, he lost Ye Chongxiao.
He had done whatever he could to find the trace of Ye Chongxiao, but he just couldn't… He couldn't find anything…
[I am a great level eight Dao Origin Stage cultivator!]
[He is level two of Dream Origin Stage. We are like god and human! There is such a big gap between our power levels! How could I lose him…]
[That…]
Zhan Yunfei felt extremely disgraced.
How could he lose him?
He didn't understand it. He couldn't think it through. [He just casually walked ahead along the road, with a small package on his shoulder. He looked so casual and leisure…]
[He must be unguarded.]
[A one hundred percent rookie martial artist!]
In fact, after half a day, Ye Xiao seemed to be in an urgent situation. He held his pants and went into the forest.
Zhan Yunfei knew what Ye Chongxiao was going to do. He surely wouldn't go and see the young man pee.
But he had waited too long. He didn't see Ye Chongxiao come back. None of the birds in the forest fly out. Ye Chongxiao just disappeared in the woods.
He had been waiting and waiting, but nothing happened. After about an hour, he couldn't endure it anymore. He sneaked into the wood.
He saw the trace of the dried urine on the foot of a big tree.
Apparently, it was Ye Chongxiao's. He must have left earlier because the urine has dried up!
There were some other obvious traces too. The big tree was ripped, revealing the white trunk below the rind. It was like a tombstone, looking garish in the dark of the forest. At least much more garish than the urine.
In fact, the most garish thing was the words on the tree, written with the blood of the rats. There were some dead rats on the floor, too.
'Disciple Brother Zhao, thanks for your hard work. But it is enough to escort me this far. I guess I should go on my own way by myself. I don't think I need a guard in the martial world, especially a super guard. So long, brother.'
Zhan Yunfei nearly passed out when he read the words.
He was pissed!
[He knew the sect would send people to protect him! He actually knew it was me.]
[Most importantly, he knew I was after him. He actually got rid of me!]
Zhan Yunfei was furious. He operated his mind power and carefully scanned the area. He knew Ye Chongxiao would never be able to leave this area within one hour!
However, he got nothing, no matter how hard he tried.
There was no trace of Ye Chongxiao. Not even a trace of the grass being stepped on.
It felt like Ye Chongxiao left under the ground after he finished his business…
Underground?
