Chapter 1379

2"

They couldn't stay in this place too long, otherwise if someone returned and saw the two of them here, it would expose the fact that they knew each other.

Xiao Han left the great hall first, and after making sure no one else was around, he beckoned Did Ning Chen to come out.

The place Xiao Han lived was his original place; he had a separate large courtyard of his own, not too far from where Did Ning Chen and the others were.

The two parted ways at the fork in the road. Did Ning Chen returned to the courtyard and saw Lin Yi and Xu Chenchen were also there.

"Aren't you afraid someone will discover we know each other?" Did Ning Chen was somewhat puzzled—when had Lin Yi and Xu Chenchen become so bold?

"Don't worry, Brother Ning. We told them we came to thank you. Didn't you save me from that bird before? So coming to thank you is only right and proper."

Lin Yi felt he was extremely clever. With this reason, even if their relationship got closer, it wouldn't seem strange.

Did Ning Chen nodded, agreeing with Lin Yiyi's reason for coming to find them: "Mm, but we should still change how we usually address each other, so we don't slip up in front of people."

He brought Lin Yi and the others into the room to discuss what to do next.

Miss Hongxiu looked at everyone and spoke.

"Take it one step at a time. It's still unclear right now, and there's also that Tsuchigumo. I think it will come back for revenge—Tsuchigumo basically always hold grudges."

Hearing that the Tsuchigumo held grudges, Lin Yi trembled: "I-i, that, that Tsuchigumo shouldn't know who hit them, right?"

Seeing through Lin Yi's fear, Miss Hongxiu deliberately wanted to tease him, so she pretended to think for a long time, then said: "That's not necessarily true. After all, no one can say for sure about this matter. But I've heard Tsuchigumo start their revenge from the weakest person."

The weakest person—wasn't that referring to Lin Yi? He rushed straight to Did Ning Chen's side and hugged him: "Brother Ning, save me! Can I sleep with you tonight!"

Such a Lin Yi was very amusing. The whole room instantly relaxed, and most people had smiles in their eyes.

"Alright, alright, let Did Ning Chen off. I was just joking with you. At most you'd be that Tsuchigumo's prey, but as for revenge, it definitely wouldn't choose you. Among us, only A-Han is most likely to be targeted for revenge. A-Han seriously wounded that Tsuchigumo and sealed its mate—this grudge is no small matter."

Being told this, Lin Yi also breathed a sigh of relief; otherwise he probably wouldn't have been able to sleep tonight.

Did Ning Chen felt they still had to stay alert tonight—this Tsuchigumo didn't know when it would come out.

"Tonight I'll set up a protective barrier in your room. You don't need to worry."

With Did Ning Chen's words, Lin Yi was now completely at ease.

Night gradually fell. Did Ning Chen raised his hand and released a protective barrier outside Lin Yi and Xu Chenchen's room. After the white-gold light enveloped the room, it vanished, while the light on Did Ning Chen's hand was extremely dazzling in the darkness.

They had thought tonight would be a peaceful night, but a scream shattered everyone's sleep.

Did Ning Chen was still dressed, and after putting on his shoes he immediately got out of bed, rushed out the door, and ran toward the direction of the shouting.

He saw many disciples gathered ahead. After approaching, in the center of the encircling disciples, Wu Dan was clutching his head, sitting on the ground in extreme pain.

"What's going on?" Did Ning Chen grabbed a disciple and asked.

"I don't know. They say Senior Brother Wu Dan apparently suddenly attacked a senior brother. The elders have already gone to treat that senior brother, and the situation doesn't seem very optimistic."

Did Ning Chen looked at Wu Dan. A ring of red-black light seemed to surround him, flickering in and out. Did Ning Chen always felt this light seemed somewhat eye-like.

"What's going on? Could he be possessed?"

"We don't know either. We also don't know if he's been tainted by something bad."

"Let's stay farther away, so we don't get accidentally hurt or infected."
