Chapter 246 – 246. Black Shadow
Being in that position for a few minutes, Fu Xie Lan then turned around.
"What's wrong Xie Lan?" Wan Lie asked when he is seeing that his mother seemed to want to leave.
"We'd better continue our journey," the girl replied with a sigh.
"Return? what about the creature in there….." Wan Lie asked hanging his sentence when he looked in front of where the figure of the toddler was before.
"Huh?"
"Why?" asked Fu Xie Lan seeing Wan Lie's response.
"Where did that figure go?" said the young man then.
Everyone's gaze immediately fell on the clearing in front of them. Including Fu Xie Lan.
And sure enough, they had only looked away a few seconds ago, and at this moment they had not found a single figure there.
Even those who were lying down before also disappeared and left only the blue robes lying on the ground without their owners.
Wrinkles appeared behind Fu Xie Lan's mask, as did the others. Having the same confusion and questions lodged in their minds.
"Never mind, we should go back on our journey," said Fu Xie Lan, turning around again.
"So what about that person earlier? Should we stop looking for him?" Xue Ning asked a little hesitantly.
"That's none of our affairs," Fu Xie Lan replied.
Previously she was only curious about the dark aura she had felt before. It was not the intention to interfere or do anything to the aura that she was feeling. As long as it didn't bother her, then the girl just stood still and watched. after all, his aura was different from the black witch's aura that she knew. So she didn't have to think about it too much.
Hearing Fu Xie Lan's words, no one else responded. What the girl said was true.
Why should they bother with something that is none of their business?
This is the affairs of the Lord of the Artland World.
Such were the thoughts of Xue Ning, Xue Ying, and Ju Xian.
As for Wan Lie, the young man occasionally stole glances at the man next to Fu Xie Lan. He wanted to know how the man would respond, but all he had found since earlier was silence.
Made him a little curious about what was in the head of the man who was none other than his father.
"Come on!" asked Fu Xie Lan and then exiting the edge of the forbidden forest.
Set foot on the ground, combing the open space filled with green grass in the dim moonlight.
They all walked towards the city of Phillony.
Departing since morning from the human race, and reached the wizard territory at night. Their movement is very fast. Very fast for the size of people who only rely on leg strength moving from one tree branch to another.
Gu Yi could have brought all of them in an instant to wizard territory, only that would drain his mana too much.
His body's mana had not recovered since Fu Xie Lan sucked it up when they did sex on their first night.
Yes, even though he knew that the mana in his body seemed to be sucked into Fu Xie Lan's body, at that time Gu Yi didn't stop his actions until the girl asked him to stop.
Not only that, if he moved all of them, he was worried that he would suffer severe damage to his unstable soul due to the injury.
Walk hand in hand following a path that leads directly to the fences of the Phoenix academy walls.
Seeing the tall and sturdy wall, Fu Xie Lan quickened her pace even more.
Even though the fence of the phoenix academy wall was close to them, that didn't mean it was easy. Because to reach the door, Fu Xie Lan and the others had to walk to circle the side walls to find out where the back door was.
With the ability of the girl's eyes, finding the existence of the back door was not something difficult.
Suddenly a black shadow flashed directly above their heads causing Fu Xie Lan and the others to reflexively stop their steps.
Empty…
Nothing reached their eyes, only the high walls of the academy with a sky filled with white clouds.
"What was that?" Xue Ning mumbled furrowing her brows, her voice is so tiny, but it could reach everyone's senses of hearing.
"I feel something just passed," said the girl again rubbing the nape of the neck.
As for Fu Xie Lan, she felt the same way Xue Ning felt, the girl's violet eyes were already gleaming and scanning everything that was happening around her without any obstructions within a fairly far radius.
But what she found made the brow behind her silver mask frown.
There was no strange figure that she met, everything seemed normal and running as usual. The night was getting late, Fu Xie Lan only found a few people who were already asleep while others were still busy chatting and some others seemed to be practicing.
Re-scanned the area around it, nothing strange, but, even so, Fu Xie Lan felt as if something was bothering her heart.
"All right, come on!" said Fu Xie Lan. Of course with Gu Yi who was always by his side.
Wan Lie and the others, when they heard Fu Xie Lan's instructions, all fell silent and nodded their heads.
Back to the walk without saying anything.
The location of the phoenix academy might be said to be directly adjacent to the forbidden forest because only the grasslands were the intermediary, that was only part of it, while the other parts of the area were bordered by forests and people's residences.
Phoenix Academy has a large area, so, if it is likened to a person who surrounds the wall fence it will not be enough to only do it for one day.
The academy is not only a place to study and educate students, but some other areas are devoted to the residences of teachers and Elders, students are also required to live in several dormitories within the academy. And a training place that also has a large area with different types.
Everything is complete, there is not a single lack of facilities that may be needed by students and teachers.
Maybe that's the reason so that the academy has a fairly large area.
Walking for nearly an hour, two figures they assumed were guards at the rear gate of the phoenix academy entered their eyes.
Seeing this, Fu Xie Lan was still walked at a consistent pace, neither fast nor slow.
Her thoughts are currently out of place. The figure of the toddler and the black shadow that had previously flashed above their heads continued to disturb her composure. Although it was none of her affairs, for some reason her mind couldn't stay away and ignore something she had witnessed for herself.
As if what happened was part of her responsibility.
She didn't know, Fu Xie Lan just feels that way.
