Li Seng and Lian stayed away from the fighting ground. They're looking for Gin but they can't find him.
"Maybe he escaped" muttered Lian sarcas.
"Broku can't possibly do such a thing" Li Seng denied outright.
Before long, as if by chance, Gin emerged from the bushes right in front of them. The three met each other and froze.
"..." - ".The mood was silent for a moment.
Lian realized first. He moved forward towards Gin, "Where have you been?" annoyed. He was angry at Gin who suddenly disappeared in a dangerous situation like this. Now is the time to be serious, not to play games. Lian continued to nag relentlessly because of Gin's indifference.
While Gin only looked at him with a confused and erroneous face. He doesn't know how to explain everything. So he let Lian scold him.
Seeing that Gin was silent with his face, Lian grew even more upset. Because he felt Gin ignored his existence and thought his words were not important at all. He hates people who are banged up and don't know situations and places like Gin.
"Are you listening to me? Our lives are in danger and you're still not serious?" Lian scrunched her forehead. Actually he tried to hit Gin's head, but somehow his punch always misses. Gin did not move from his place at all. Until he gets upset.
"Hey, stop scolding my brother's witch" Li Seng intervened. He embraced Gin and looked at Lian with an unhappy look. "You blame my brother, but you don't know the situation at all. If you keep blabbering like this, the killer's gonna find us"
Lian's face turned sullen. But he stopped being angry. "Humph" grunted as he crossed both hands.
"Bro, you suddenly appear in front of there. Isn't that assassin fighting in the same direction from where you came?" li Seng asked because he suddenly realized something strange.
"..." - ".Gin did not answer. He only looked at Li Seng with a flat expression that could not be read at all.
"Did you see the killer?" ask Li Seng again.
Gin nodded small.
Li Seng's eyes widened. "bro, previously there was an elder who saved me from assassins. And the two fought there" Li Seng pointed forward. "Did you see them fighting?"
Gin tilted his head. "Older?" he mumbled confusedly.
"You didn't see it?"
"It's a pity" Li Seng's expression turned disappointed. "It looks like they're fighting further away so you don't see it. I want to thank the elder" he said sadly.
In the midst of Li Seng being sad, Lian was busy thinking about their plans. "Would you like to go back to the original plan? Back in town and looking for help?" tanyakanya. He looked at Gin, and excluded Li Seng because the young man knew nothing. Li Seng had just joined them.
"What plan?" Li Seng finally asked.
Lian explained their plan for the second time.
"Running away of course, after that ask for help" Li Seng said quickly. "No need to find the Arai brothers. They are strong and I'm sure they can run away agilely like horses" he said. Which means they have to think about themselves first.
"You're right" Lian agreed. He tells Li Seng that one of the killers died near the lake due to poisoning. And another assassin was chased by that elder. There's only one killer free now. At least after knowing that fact, they felt relieved.
"How could an immortal cultivator die from poison? it's really ridiculous" Li Seng said.
While Lian just looked at Gin with a meaningful gaze.
***
In the capital city of Kano. The Li family made a fuss by coming to Jin Shi's academy. Several elders, led by Li Fan, came in droves to meet with the headmaster. Unfortunately the principal is not around so Siyan has to handle them. This made Siyan's head even more dizzy.
Li Fan came to protest. The protective talisman he placed on his son was shattered. Which means that his son is in a state of life and death right now.
But Li Fan could not contact his son. Like there's a barrier blocking it sending a communication signal. Plus he's in an unexplored forest. The forest was huge and he could not find Li Seng quickly without any clues.
Li Fan began to blame the negligent school authorities for the safety of his students. Then he also blamed the school for sending his son to such a dangerous place.
Siyan tried to calm Li Fan's anger. He then checked and realized that they could not contact the children they sent on the exploration mission.
This is so weird. There had never been a communication disconnected like this when the disciples took on a mission of exploration. Even if they were in danger, they would contact the academy quickly for help. Or even contact their families.
Then the signal interference is a serious problem. Ordinary people would not be able to block such a signal. Only professionals can do that. Siyan's feelings also became unpleasant.
"I should have sent them home by then" Siyan said regretfully. He should have sent them home when the boys found a stranger in the deep forest.
