3037 A Request

“Hehe, you haven’t seen me, but I’ve seen you. How else could I recognise you?” Wanyan s.h.i.+san then ignored her and dashed to Feng Jiu. With a wink, he asked Feng Jiu quietly, “Does it have anything to do with you?”

‘What does this have to do with me?” Feng Jiu cast a sidelong glance at him.

“It’s impossible for it to have nothing to do with you. Although I have no idea where you came from, you do have some ties to the Blue Star Immortal Sect. Si Que and Mu Xin entrusted me with you. How come you said there’s no connection?” He was staring at her, as if to say: Don’t lie to me, I know you.

Feng Jiu felt the corner of her mouth twitch, but she was in no mood to elaborate, so she just said, “I’ve looked everywhere, but still there’s no news of my sister. I think she must have been rescued and is no longer in this forest. If she is indeed rescued, there’s a chance we’ll get word after a while.”

!!

“What exactly do you mean?” He asked, looking at her.

Feng Jiu replied in a calm voice. “The clue ends here, so it’s pointless to keep looking. It would be best to wait and see what happens.”

The two sacred beasts, who were crouching not far from them, heard what was being said and looked at each other. They were somewhat confused when they heard that someone had been rescued.

They were only interested in these things: When would their Master go home? When could they advance? And when could they meet their Master’s other contracted beasts?

However, why did their Master not enter into a contract with them?

At the same time that Feng Jiu and Wanyan s.h.i.+san were talking, a group of people were discussing under the tree.

“I think they can save us and won’t attack us. They also mentioned Senior Sister Wanyan, so they must have ties to our Immortal Sect. Now that we are seriously injured, we might not be able to fight if we ever run into trouble. So, we’d better travel with them to keep ourselves safe.”

“Mm, I agree.” The cold-faced man remarked as he looked at the two men talking in front of him.

“But what if they won’t let us come along? After all…” The two women hesitated and were nervous.

“We’ll find out whether they agree or not after we give it a try. How can we have the chance to travel with them if we cannot even muster the courage to speak? Won’t we regret it if we miss the chance and end up losing our lives?”

They thought about it for a while and then made up their minds. The men could feel that their energy breath was getting steadier, so they helped each other get up. The two women rushed over to help them.

“Let’s go! We should go there and ask.” Several men said as they took slow steps forward.

Feng Jiu and Wanyan s.h.i.+san stopped their conversation to look at them as they came closer.

“Senior, we’d like to go with you. Please bring us along!” A man said. He didn’t ask a question, but rather a request.

He knew that if he posed it as a question, the other person would almost certainly refuse; however, if he simply made a request, they would at least consider it, giving them a better chance.

When Feng Jiu heard this, she looked over at Wanyan s.h.i.+shan. Wanyan s.h.i.+san became irate when he caught her gaze. “What exactly do you want me to do? Do you want me to make the decision? It’s none of my concern.” He looked away with his hands crossed over his chest; acting as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Feng Jiu smiled and turned her gaze away from Wanyan s.h.i.+san to the few people in front of her.
