Chapter 128: Who Will Fight Me (1/2)
He Yi looked directly at me, her mouth wide, but unable to say a word.
I looked at her and said calmly. ”I heard you were lost. Murong Mingyue told me to find you.”
”Oh...”
He Yi lowered her head, her gaze flashing. She did not look at me.
Maybe because I had not reached the stage of Asura, my voice was still so low and hoarse. It was very different from reality, so she did not recognize it.
I slowly turned around and had the Dark Wasp open the way. Looking back, I said, ”Come with me. The monsters in Silver Moon Forest are high-level. Your level is so low… just don’t die.”
”Yes.”
He Yi nodded and said, ”I have something I want to ask you.”
”Yes, what is it?”
”How did you meet Murong? Why… are you so familiar with each other? Also, why do I feel you are avoiding me and never accept my friend requests?”
He Yi's words struck my heart like lightning bolts. I did not know how to respond, and almost turned to stone. I couldn't stammer out a word.
”Hmph...”
He Yi smiled and said, ”I am not stupid. Mingyue is not strong enough to get a Hero's Token. Why are you helping her?”
”I...” I still could not give an answer. Under He Yi's beautiful eyes, all my defenses have been thoroughly broken.
”Hm, let me guess...” He Yi looked at me and said with a smile. ”Mingyue's relatives are all in America, you cannot be her kin. Then there is only one reason left, you—are courting Mingyue?”
”?”
My mouth gaped. I hurriedly said, ”You... Don’t misunderstand. There is no such thing!”
He Yi giggled. ”See, you panicked! How could you be so good to her otherwise? Tell me, what do you like about her?”
”I really have no intentions toward her...” I continued to explain.
He Yi raised her delicate brows in disbelief.
”Fine, don't believe me.” I spread my hands and continued to walk forward.
He Yi followed me closely. When we were close to the Chaos Ice Cave, I finally couldn't resist asking, ”Okay now. Your level isn’t high enough and you cannot enter the Chaos Ice Cave. Why did you even come...”
”?”
He Yi's eyes were wide as she looked in shock at me. A few seconds later, she said helplessly, ”This map has a level limit?”
”Yes, you must kill a Level 70 elite monster to enter. Can you do so?”
”No...”
……
The two of us were stuck outside the map. He Yi hugged her sword and leaned against the cold granite, her beautiful eyes moving around my body. This made me have a feeling that I could not hide any secrets from her sight, and she saw everything.
I felt slightly uncomfortable and said, ”Then wait for Hot Sun and Murong Mingyue. I’m returning to the city. If you need me, find me!”
He Yi looked at me with wide eyes. She didn't say anything and nodded minutely.
Whoosh!
When I returned to Floating Ice City, it was filled with people.
Coincidentally, Yamete sent over a message: ”Lu Chen, quick, come to the Holy Temple, I have something good to show you!”
”Oh, on my way!”
I sprinted over with my sword and found Yamete, Du Thirteen, and Beiming Xue. All three had excited expressions.
”What is it?”
”Look at this!”
Mamate came over with a fiery-red leather armor flashing with light in his hand.
I took it and noticed Mamate’s unique mark. The armor’s stats were unusually good—
