Chapter 43 - 43. Chaos
Chapter 43 – 43. Chaos
The night passed very quickly, a small movement that came from the fingers of the young man who had been unconscious since yesterday distracted the middle-aged woman who had just opened the window to give access to the air and morning sunlight to enter the room.
"It turns out that you are aware longer than I thought," she said then reached for the potion she had prepared on the table.
Hearing a voice that was very foreign to him, the young man blinked. The memory of yesterday's incident when heading to the pury test location immediately made him put on a vigilant attitude.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not someone you deserve to be aware of," said the middle-aged woman, handing her a bowl filled with potions.
"Drink this," she added again.
"My mother… no, the girl who was with me…"
"Over there," replied a tall girl who suddenly entered the room. The tip of her chin moved to give direction to the place of a girl who was still lying unconscious.
Suddenly the young man turned around, finding the presence of the person he was looking for made him breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, she will be fine," said the middle-aged woman again.
The young man stared at the girl who was still lying next to him for a few seconds, then turned to the two strangers he had just seen.
"Who are you?"
"And, where is this? "The young man asked again with a probing gaze, his pupils occasionally moving to observe every corner of the room.
"Drink first, your body has not fully recovered," pleaded the middle-aged woman again, handing the bowl containing the potion in her hand.
"Come on, just have a drink, after all, there is nothing in it for us if we kill you," the girl's hand grabbed her bowl and placed it on the young man's two hands who were already leaning on the bed made of bamboo.
With a somewhat hesitant feeling, the young man slowly drank down the potion that was handed to him, his brows furrowed faintly, the taste was very bitter and suddenly a chill ran through his body, a very comfortable and refreshing chill. He then believed that what the two strangers who were watching him said were indeed true, they had no bad intentions.
"Thank you," he said then handed the empty bowl back to the girl standing in front of him.
"I am Xue Ning, and you are currently in Parqus Village," said the tall girl while choosing an empty place that she thought was very comfortable to sit.
"And that middle-aged woman you call her, grandmother … " she added again with a hanging sentence like a confused person.
"Qing Chu, you can call me grandmother Chu," said the middle-aged woman, continuing Xue Ning's sentence.
"I am Wan Lie and this girl is Xie Lan, thank you for saving us," said the young man, he was very grateful because a girl who called herself Xue Ning had come at the right time and saved them from a witch who nearly took their life.
"You should be more grateful to that girl, I didn't do too much," Xue Ning said, turning her gaze towards the girl who was still unconscious.
Wan Lie didn't understand what Xue Ning meant, but he chose to remain silent and didn't ask any further questions.
There was silence for several minutes before a groan emanating from Fu Xie Lan distracted everyone's attention. One of her hands moved to the side and managed to touch something hard, it was Wan Lie's head. Suddenly it made her pupils open and immediately see the entire room.
It took a few seconds for her to realize everything, her last memory only reached the moment the witch tried to suck the mana in her body and made her lose consciousness.
Her eyes then collided with the two strangers, then she turned to stare at Wan Lie as if to say that what was going on?
Did the two women save them?
Wan Lie, who received such a gaze, only nodded as if he already understood the meaning of his mother's gaze.
"What a strong bond," muttered the middle-aged woman with a faint smile etched on her lips.
Fu Xie Lan wanted to make a sound again but was canceled with a sudden knock on the door from outside.
"Xue Ning, are you in there? Xue Ning, open the door! Are you all right?" The sound of a man's scream could be heard followed by a bang at the door. looks like the man is trying to break it.
"Wait a minute…" Xue Ning had not finished hee sentence and the door to her house had been forced open, revealing a man whose face was very similar to her and was roughly several years older than her. Anyone who saw would know that this man was related by blood to Xue Ning.
"Thank goodness you are fine," he said then rushed to hug the girl, during the trip home he never stopped worrying about the girl who was now in his arms.
"Brother, what happened? Why did you suddenly come back? Didn't the test just start yesterday?" Xue Ning asked the man who had just released her embrace with a single breath.
"Oh, you do the test? Xue Ning is anxious to know what level (life energy) you have," she added with a sparkling face
"No, I ran away."
"Huh?"
"The elder who was going to do the test suddenly disappeared, and then several people plotted to attack the academy people and there was a fight, really very chaotic.
After that, I did not remain silent and chose to run away because I was too afraid something would happen to you. "
The people who can take the test are those who haven't entered any academy, and after the test, they have a choice, whether to enter the academy or not. Nothing required them to enter the academy, but those who chose to enter the academy will certainly have higher popularity and also the opportunity to become stronger than those who refused to enter the academy.
On the other hand, Wan Li and Fu Xie Lan heard everything very clearly without missing a beat. They exchanged glances with the same thought that it seemed the academy the man was referring to was the phoenyx academy.
"Ekhem, may we know in more detail what happened?" Wan Lie started to make a sound and caused the man who looked like Xue Ning to look away with a very clear frown on his forehead. It seemed, from the moment that man entered the room, he had not noticed the presence of other people in the room
"Erm, introduce them are my friends, Wan Lie and Xie Lan," said the girl understanding the meaning of the frown on her sister's forehead. Whether it was appropriate to consider them friends, she did not know. But that was all she thought now.
"Friends? Since when?" asked the man feeling a little strange. He was curious, how his younger sibling could have friends while they and all the villagers never lived permanently or in other words always moved around.
