Listening to Senior Cutie's voice reverberating inside his dark space, Zhao Luo instantly closed his eyes and left his mental world.
-
The moment Zhao Luo opened his eyes, he was shocked as Senior Cutie's face was infinitely close to his own.
"AH!"
Zhao Luo hurriedly backed off while glaring at Senior Cutie but funnily, Xiao Yu and Pi Hao were there too, with their eyes fixed on Zhao Luo who had been startled.
"Little Brother, did you sleep well?"
Senior Cutie asked Zhao Luo with a mysterious smile on his face.
"Ahem, I did."
Zhao Luo nodded his head since this sleep could be said to be his best one as he not only discovered the method which could make his apparitions stronger but he also received his first victory over his master, the old man.
"But why were you smiling in your sleep?"
Xiao Yu asked as he looked eager to know the reason behind Zhao Luo's smile.
"I was smiling?"
'I must have smiled when the old man was badly pushed out of the circle.'
Zhao Luo wondered while distorting his memory since the foot of his master was slightly out of the circle.
"Mhmm."
Zhao Luo nodded instead of giving an answer to Xiao Yu's question.
"I know. He must be having dirty thoughts abo-"
Senior Cutie bumped his fist on his hand and released his wild imagination, but before he could complete it, his mouth suddenly twitched and he stopped talking as he looked at Zhao Luo.
Zhao Luo was already holding onto Blackey as it shined coldly and enhanced the cold look on Zhao Luo's face.
"Go on."
Zhao Luo said to senior cutie with a grin on his face while raising his sword.
"Ha, Ha. What was I saying? Oh, yes the fruits."
Senior Cutie laughed awkwardly while backing away a step and bringing up the fruits.
"We were able to store them an hour ago. Try to store yours too."
Zhao Luo instantly acted upon Senior Cutie's instructions and tried to store the two internal energy fruits that he had.
"Store."
As he held the fruits, Zhao Luo mumbled and the fruits were indeed stored in the space of his robe.
After storing the fruits, the first thing that entered his mind was the guard.
"Where is the guard?"
Zhao Luo asked while looking around the room as he looked for him.
"He already left."
Pi Hao answered as he was the first to wake up and he was the only one who had talked with the guard before the guard left Zhao Luo's mansion.
"So he already left."
Zhao Luo mumbled while Pi Hao had more to say.
"Brother Zhao Luo, the guard left a message for you."
"What did he say?"
Zhao Luo asked while being curious about the message that the guard had left behind for him.
"Thank you for saving my life. I am sorry but if I stayed with you, it would only be a matter of time before that 'man' sends assassins after me, and that would put you in trouble too. So I have decided to leave you. May we meet again, one day. To my savior."
Pi Hao said slowly while tears rolled down his face.
"T-That's the message he left for you, Brother Zhao Luo."
Pi Hao wiped the tears off his face and looked at Zhao Luo whose brows were furrowed as he looked deeply worried.
"That man..."
Zhao Luo mumbled while remembering the time when he had stopped this guard from returning along with the others.
"He must be talking about the 'Right Serpant'"
Senior Cutie told Zhao Luo.
While talking to Senior Cutie and the others, Zhao Luo left the palace along with them and went towards the exit of the Living Zone.
Around the exit, a few familiar faces were already waiting for him.
Si Chen was kicking the rock while Feng Ma was wobbling around while the head of his wine flask looked as if it was stuck to his lips.
"Ah, Brother!"
Si Chen noticed Zhao Luo from afar and shouted.
"You guys are already here."
Zhao Luo joined them and found Si Chen greeting them.
"How were your missions?"
Si Chen curiously asked Zhao Luo.
"They were fun."
Zhao Luo replied with a carefree manner before turning his head to look at Feng Ma.
He grabbed the wine flask before pulling it off of Feng Ma's mouth.
"You okay?"
Zhao Luo questioned Feng Ma while smiling.
"Hic, yes."
Feng Ma stepped backward as he answered Zhao Luo and his back touched two big hands.
"I prefer the front but this back is okay too."
Senior Cutie smirked while whispering his words into the drunk Feng Ma's ear.
Instantly as if a lightning bolt had struck his mind, Feng Ma had sobered up and nodded while jumping forward like a stunned cat.
Feng Ma's reaction caused everyone to laugh at him while many disciples passed by them while eyeing Zhao Luo and the others.
"So many disciples are leaving the living zone."
Zhao Luo said as he watched many disciples and even groups of disciples leaving through the green door in a hurry.
"They are all making their way towards the inner hall."
"Like us."
Si Chen replied while Feng Ma looked serious for some reason.
"They must have reached their known limits and must have also accumulated 100 xin points."
Senior Cutie said as he looked at the disciples who were passing by them.
Among the disciples who had passed them, many were recognized by Senior Cutie since they had been in the Outer Hall for 2 to 3 years just like him.
"Shouldn't we go too?"
Pi Hao mumbled as he got restless after listening to Si Chen and Senior Cutie talk about the passing disciples.
"Don't you know Little Brother is waiting for someone?"
Senior Cutie said to Pi Hao in a mischievous tone which caused Zhao Luo to be embarrassed.
But at the same time, someone was making their way towards them.
"She is here."
Zhao Luo smiled while looking at Mo Anna who had just reached them.
Mo Anna greeted the others and looked at Zhao Luo before turning her eyes away from him.
"What?"
Zhao Luo who had been eagerly waiting to meet her was surprised by her reaction and felt sad.
'Don't tell me...'
Zhao Luo looked at Senior Cutie whose head looked red as he barely hid his smile.
The end of his lips twitched and finally, he let the curves freely appear on his face as his eyes met Zhao Luo.
Zhao Luo walked towards Senior Cutie while everyone had already started moving towards the exit of the Living Zone.
Xiao Yu, Si Chen, Pi Hao, and Feng Ma were walking in the front while Mo Anna was behind them.
At the end was Zhao Luo who was grabbing onto Senior Cutie's arm while glaring at him.
"I really didn't say much."
Senior Cutie said but the expression on his face said otherwise.
"What lies did you spew about me?"
Zhao Luo questioned as he hadn't even said anything but Senior Cutie was already making excuses.
'Just like he had lied about the vitality pills causing his baldness, he must have said something to her.'
Zhao Luo was sure that Senior Cutie was behind the reaction that he had gotten from Mo Anna but it wasn't easy to make the baldy talk.
Soon they had left the Living Zone and a crowded view had welcomed them as they entered the entrance hall.
Zhao Luo looked around and found the same disciples who had left the living zone there.
Every group of disciples and the ones who were alone were gathered as a bigger group.
Just yesterday, many of them had been challenging each other in the ranking tournament.
Out of the thousand disciples, there were around 69 disciples here.
"I don't see big bean here."
Zhao Luo raised his question as not one of the disciples resembled him since Big Bean had a height that was that of a giant and a shape that resembled a bean.
Zhao Luo still looked around with worry since he hadn't seen him after the time he had left them at the stage in the colosseum.
"Don't worry. You will meet him soon. He isn't someone who wouldn't be aiming to become an inner disciple."
Senior Cutie told Zhao Luo as he also believed that Big Bean was already strong enough to be an inner disciple.
As for his points, he was Mo Suo's right-hand man, so how could he not have the required points.
"I am not worried about leaving him behind instead what if he is in trouble?"
Zhao Luo couldn't help but think so as Big Bean's tragic expression from the time he talked about his past and sister, was still buried in Zhao Luo's mind.
"Hmmm."
Senior Cutie also understood what Zhao Luo was talking about.
Just then,
"Is this it?"
An old raspy voice entered everyone's ears.
