“Fengfeng, have you found anything?” asked Qu Lanyi in a low voice. Yun Feng was going to talk, when Qu Lanyi quickly hid the queen from her hand. “Thank you very much.” Carson’s voice came close. Yun Feng raised her head, and saw Carson and three other people walking to her. Although Carson was thanking them, his voice was cold. However, Yun Feng was not upset by his insincerity.
“That’s alright. I only did it for myself,” said Yun Feng casually, not being sincere with Carson either. Carson’s face stiffened for a moment. He looked around on the ground, and so did his companions. Seeing that, Qu Lanyi put on a smile. “What are you looking for? Did you leave something behind while you’re running?”
Carson and the others all stopped when they heard that. Carson managed a smile. “Indeed we dropped something, but it’s not important.”
Yun Feng casually glanced at them, and walked forward, holding Qu Lanyi’s hand. Seeing that, Carson proposed, “Now that we’ve met each other, why don’t we go together?”
Yun Feng walked in the lead and didn’t respond. Qu Lanyi, on the other hand, stared at Yun Feng’s hand that was holding her, as if she was enjoying it. Yun Feng suddenly stopped and looked at Carson. “Okay then.”
Carson smiled. Yun Feng and Qu Lanyi walked in the lead, and Carson and his companions followed them. The contestants from two different empires were walking together. Naturally, they each had their own plan. Qu Lanyi whispered to Yun Feng, “Why are we walking with them? Do you intend to seize this opportunity to finish them off?”
Yun Feng didn’t respond. She suddenly said to Qu Lanyi in a low voice, “Hold on to me.” Qu Lanyi was stunned for a moment. Then, she grabbed Yun Feng’s hand tightly. Yun Feng dashed forward like an arrow, and quickly disappeared. Carson and his companions were all shocked!
“Your Highness, they’re running!”
Carson put on a cold smile. “Running? They cannot possibly get away from me. Let’s chase after them!”
Yun Feng dashed forward with Qu Lanyi and passed at least three intersections. She changed her direction randomly, and paid attention to what was behind her. After a moment of observation, Yun Feng suddenly stopped with Qu Lanyi. Qu Lanyi smiled and held Yun Feng’s hand. “What’s wrong?”
Yun Feng glanced at Qu Lanyi, and firmly withdrew her hand. She looked back at her chasers with glittering eyes. “They’re indeed catching up.”
Qu Lanyi examined the environment too, and detected the chasers. Qu Lanyi and Yun Feng smiled at each other, and both knew what to do. Since the chasers were capable of tracking them down, they would figure out how they did and then steal the skill!
The two of them simply stood and waited. Very soon, Carson and his companions caught up. Seeing that they were standing and waiting, Carson managed a smile, and Yun Feng gazed at her. “You’re truly good at choosing the right direction, aren’t you?”
Carson and the other three people all managed a smile. “Didn’t we agree to walk together? Why did you…”
“It’s nothing. We simply wanted to move faster and meet with the other contestants of Karan.” Yun Feng paused for a few seconds and continued, “However, I forgot how difficult it is to meet anyone else here.”
Carson sneered. It was great that they couldn’t meet each other. It gave him a chance to attack. If he and his companions had met Kasa’s group, they probably would’ve attacked directly. However, Qu Lanyi and Yun Feng were stronger than them. They couldn’t defeat the two women even if they joined hands. The two women didn’t do anything yet, which meant that they still had a chance. They only needed the right opportunity…
While Carson made plans in his heart, Yun Feng observed him in secret. Carson was not wearing anything. It seemed that the item or method that could locate other contestants must be inside a storage container that had been hidden by him.
I have to let the fox take action first, Yun Feng thought. Although she could eliminate them immediately, she didn’t know where her brother was. She could wait until she figured out how to locate them. Also, she needed to know more about the bee queen.
“Fengfeng, let’s go.” Qu Lanyi winked at Yun Feng. The two of them walked in the lead just like before. “There’s nothing suspicious about other people,” said Qu Lanyi in a low voice.
Yun Feng nodded. She was going to walk with those people for a while. Those people weren’t easy to deal with, but she was certainly not a weakling either. She and Qu Lanyi were bold enough to leave their back to those people without worrying that they might attack. She knew that they didn’t have the courage to.
Carson and his companions didn’t intend to ambush. They knew they were too weak, and simply followed in silence. “Your Highness, when do we take action?” asked a warrior in a low voice. Carson thought for a moment and said, “Don’t be hasty! Lack of patience always ruins great plans!”
“But Your Highness, if we keep wasting our time on them, then our plan…” said the mage worriedly. Carson became grave. He had planned to force everybody to quit with the bees, but the bee queen had been killed! Also, he didn’t have the opportunity to recollect the bee queen’s body. Thinking about that, Carson felt that his heart was pounding. The body couldn’t have caught much attention. Those two women couldn’t have noticed anything…
“Yes, Your Highness. There are only two months to go…” said someone in a low voice. Carson gritted his teeth. He certainly couldn’t waste all his time on those two women. If he didn’t have a choice, he would have to take the risk!
Little Fire and Lan Yi had been communicating with Yun Feng telepathically. No matter how far away a contracted Magic Beast is from its summoner, they could always keep in touch. Her brother was safe, but his location was unknown. Yun Sheng informed the Magic Beasts that she was fine, and asked them to protect her brother. With their protection, Yun Sheng would be absolutely safe.
