The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 129 — Pressure
Wu Shilin replied, “Sorry, but I have no interest in fighting with you.”
Lian Haocun who did not expect this answer, “...”
Lian Haocun frowned again and said in a commanding tone, “Then, go find your guide and have him move you from here.”
Wu Shilin, “Why should I move? Couldn't you guys have moved?”
Lian Haocun, “Don't provoke my anger.”
Lian Haocun's gaze was very sharp when he said that, and somehow Wu Shilin felt the pressure from Lian Haocun.
‘This is not the pressure of his cultivation level..., strong pressure from where is this?’ Inner Wu Shilin was confused and astonished. If described, maybe the pressure is like the invisible pressure of an authoritative King. Even so, that pressure did not pressure Wu Shilin too much, however he had a Nascent Soul stage cultivation level.
Even so, Wu Shilin remained somewhat anxious with the mysterious pressure from Lian Haocun, yet Wu Shilin's expression did not change at all. In the tone of ‘bing’, Wu Shilin asked, “By the way, what number is this dorm room?”
In an indifferent tone, Lian Haocun replied, “You can check it yourself.”
Wu Shilin chuckled and walked over to the outside of the dormitory. While Lian Haocun remained in place, while staring at Wu Shilin. No, it was more precisely watching Wu Shilin. With contrived shock, Wu Shilin exclaimed, “Oh! I entered the dorm room wrongly, my dorm room numbered 28. 23 and 28, if 23 were at a glance, being similar to 28 right?”
Lian Haocun did not respond to the drama made by Wu Shilin, and instead asked, “What is your purpose here?”
Wu Shilin gave a cold snort and said, “My aim? Hm...., taunting your sister for only being able to watch Tang Yelu die helplessly?”
Lian Haocun clenched his hand and said, “Wu Shilin!”
Wu Shilin could feel Lian Haocun's anger in mentioning his name. He could even see a fleeting killing intent in Lian Haocun's eyes. Somehow Wu Shilin's body shuddered in fear and again, an unknown mysterious pressure suppressed him.
‘Actually what pressure is this!? This pressure is even stronger than ‘dia’!’ Inner Wu Shilin was shocked.
‘How can this guy exert this kind of pressure? It seems he didn't even notice it. In fact, they're just like a bunch of little ants.’ Wu Shilin was upset.
Despite the disdain, Wu Shilin still enveloped his body with Spiritual Qi to prevent any other unwanted effects.
After Wu Shilin left, Lian Haocun left the dorm room and headed to Meza Park, the park visited by him and the others in the morning. Lian Haocun suspected that Lian Huanran was in Meza's garden. Not wrong, after running at full speed, he saw Lian Huanran who was sitting on a wooden bench, and was surrounded by Yun Shao, Long Yuan and Qian Wenwu. While Bai and Cheng were small sitting on Lian Huanran's lap.
For some reason, when seeing Lian Huanran laughing at Yun Shao's joke, Lian Haocun's feelings became complicated, there were feelings of envy, tightness and also helplessness.
'Why am I so useless? I can't even keep her entertained once.' Inner Lian Haocun was upset.
But despite being enveloped in various emotions, Lian Haocun's expression did not change at all. Then he walked over to Lian Huanran.
Lian Huanran immediately realized the whereabouts of her Brother, and asked in an emotional tone, “What about that traitor?”
Lian Haocun did not explain that Wu Shilin was also a new member of the Jade Wolf Sect, and said, “She has already left.”
Lian Huanran let out a sigh of relief, and was silent for a moment. The atmosphere became quiet without anyone speaking, which according to Lian Haocun was very different from the harmonious atmosphere before he came.
Lian Haocun wanted to leave, but unexpectedly, Lian Huanran said, “Sorry... We don't know how the Jade Wolf Sect is keeping an eye on its new members, and it could be that what I did earlier will get us expelled from the Jade Wolf Sect... But.., when I saw the traitor standing before me without the slightest guilt... I can't help it..”.
As he said that, Lian Huanran's head bowed to face Bai and Cheng in his lap. While on the other hand, Lian Haocun's feelings became even more complicated, indeed what Lian Huanran said was not wrong, it was one of the reasons why Lian Haocun asked Lian Huanran to calm herself down, but saying so to his sister who had just lost a senior close to him a few months ago, was as if to say that Lian Huanran was the one at fault.
“No problem.” Said Lian Haocun in a flat tone.
Lian Huanran nodded her head and tried to reorganize her emotions that were starting to come out of ‘kurungan’. Then Lian Huanran said in a voice that seemed to hold back the cry, “Oh, yes, Big Brother, Yuan, we should talk for a while. Shao and Wenwu, please wait here for a moment huh?”
Yun Shao nodded in understanding and said, “Go.”
While Qian Wenwu, who was called so familiar with others, felt a little embarrassed and in the end did not respond to Lian Huanran.
Lian Haocun, Lian Huanran and Long Yuan, followed by little Bai and Cheng, went to a quiet place quite far away from where Yun Shao and Qian Wenwu were. Then Lian Huanran formed a protector around them, to prevent anyone from hearing their conversation.
Then Lian Huanran said, “Tadi, I found someone who has a mixture of the aroma of medicinal plants. The smell of medicinal plants was very faint, so for someone foreign to medicinal plants, they would definitely not notice it. But, I'm sure the same scent must be a medicinal plant, because it perfectly matches the one described in the book.”
Long Yuan immediately understood Lian Huanran's intention, “So, according to your guess, he is the alchemist we are looking for?”
