Chapter 521 “Third Cave Tunnel (p1)”

Ling Yue didn’t keep any secrets from her big sister now that she’s back out. Whatever love affairs, whatever Chen Hong Ru being the mastermind, she said it all. However, the girl also specifically forbade Lan Caier from sharing the information to anyone, in particular was General Lan and their closest friends. The consequences would be dire if words get loose. For example, like causing a war between Da Xia and North Qing would be catastrophic.

“Ling Yue, why is your expression looking so ugly? Oh right, Feng Shen was looking particularly strange when he left. We better move now and catch up to them before its too late. There’s only Dao Nu by his side so it’s unsafe.” Unsettled by the ominous feeling inside, Lan Caier urged her younger sister to move out of concern.

“I will go now, but Sister, you and Little Crow should stay behind for now. I fear the third cave tunnel would be even more dangerous.” In the end, this was the decision Ye Ling Yue decided upon with after deliberating what’s for the best.

Surprisingly enough, for the one that’s usually the first to charge into things, Lan Caier didn’t object to the idea. The big girl knew this was the right choice; after all, she’s not dumb. During their fight with Zhu Ge Yi, it has become quite apparent her strength was lacking and unfit to continue.

“I will take Little Squeak with me and go ahead. Little Crow, you stay with Sister here okay? This would be a good chance to further both your cultivations with the treasures we found in the room earlier.” Ling Yue figured the furball could at least transform when the need arises, hence the choice.

With the plan settled, it was time to take action. Ling Yue did as she said and went into the third tunnel after using the blank tablet. As for Lan Caier and Little Crow, they found a hiding spot somewhere and bunkered down. There’s plenty of good stuff around for them to use so it’s not a bad arrangement.

“Milord, which way should we go?” Dao Nu asks, worried that the one in front of him has already swapped with that “one”.

There’s good reason for the big guy’s worry actually. For one, Feng Shen’s iris was abnormally cold, frosty even, and the air around the boy was starting to turn distant and dangerous.

“There’s sound in that direction. We going.” Feng Shen points to the southern pathway after the question.

But before Dao Nu could react in time, the boy’s figure was already gone and running away. Very soon, the source of the commotion was in sight.

“Brother Feng Shen!” The one crying out was Princess Qing Bi who recognized the newcomer right away.

Turns out the North Qing team had run into Hong Ming Yue’s team after the incident back at the fourth cave. Since the latter refuses to explain the whereabouts of Prince Hou Qi to this lovestruck princess, a fight quickly ensued and thus the current brawl.

“Why is it only you two? Where’s Miss Ye and the other ladies?” Considering how dark and ugly his close friend’s was acting, Cong Lu (royal guard) could already tell things are going to turn from bad to worse.

“Cong Lu, where’s the last member of your team?” Not meeting the eyes of his friend, Feng Shen scanned the area with his intense stare and found something amiss among the North Qing’s team who only had ten members left.

Every delegation team had permission to bring along eleven teammates along when entering the Star Cave. Aside from Ling Yue’s party who came with only five, it’s no secret everyone else had filled their rosters to the brim. Now that left to beckon, where’s the missing last person if there’s only ten?
