Chapter 508: Xue Ying’s Doubt! (1/2)

But there was no way; if they didn’t leave now, they would have to spend another night in the Infinite Mountain Range. Even the most daring ones with the power to back their guts wouldn’t be so bold. Once Hu Xian’er was noticed by any magical beast, they’d be hard-pressed to leave this place.

Getting back on the road at their full capability, the group finally stepped out of the inner circumference. Leaving this danger zone, their speed was slowed.

Bai Xiaofei thought they could just run straight back, but now it seemed that he had underestimated the Infinite Mountain Range. In order not to stir up unnecessary trouble, they had to make multiple detours. Although Hu Xian’er could handle any obstacle in one blow, Bai Xiaofei didn’t let her.

It wasn’t that he was distrustful of the other girls, but there was nothing that could be kept under wraps forever. No one could guarantee that information wouldn’t get out once there were too many people who knew about it.

Therefore, the constant detours dragged their speed down.

“Why were there so many magical beasts?!” exclaimed Leng Liuying in a long breath of relief after they were finally freed, voicing the thoughts of everyone.

“And this is still the time when the Infinite Mountain Range isn’t active. Any later and we may not be able to move an inch. We were able to wander freely last night because the Gold Devouring Ants were out,” Hu Xian’er explained seriously.

“You seem to know the Infinite Mountain Range very well.” There was a hint of questioning in Xue Ying’s tone.

Indeed, at her age, Hu Xian’er shouldn’t know so much about a place like this.

“I know why Xian’er knows the Infinite Mountain Range!” Rui Mengqi suddenly cut in with a proud and excited expression just as Hu Xian’er hesitated about how to answer.

Bai Xiaofei and Hu Xian’er inwardly grew nervous.

What does she know?! How does she know?!

In a split second, countless ideas ran through Bai Xiaofei’s mind, but he still couldn’t come up with a reasonable explanation. However, just when he was ready for a showdown, Rui Mengqi said something that nearly made him stagger to his knees.

“Xian’er likes elective courses so much that she takes too many. She must have learned this from the courses!”

Bai Xiaofei stared blankly. Even Hu Xian’er was mind-blown for a little.

This explanation…

Really made perfect sense!

“Yes, it was taught in class,” said Hu Xian’er.

Xue Ying made an odd expression, but in the end she could only let it slide. She’d seem petty and unreasonable if she held onto this.

Then, she speculated that Hu Xian’er might not be a Transformation Stream puppet master!

There were two reasons. One was that Xue Ying searched her memory and couldn’t think of any magical beast that matched Hu Xian’er’s transformation form, and the second was that she had never seen any Transformation Stream waste a quota just to link an Energy Stream puppet. Therefore, she felt that there was something off about Hu Xian’er, but she just didn’t know where the problem lay, and she couldn’t guess what Hu Xian’er’s intention was for such a lie.

This increased Xue Ying’s worries. She worried that Hu Xian’er approached Bai Xiaofei with ulterior motives and would be detrimental to him. Anyone who had something to hide must have a scheme of their own.
