Chapter 343 Meeting Ling’er Again
“We have to wait until those seven volcanoes stop spewing lava! Warriors who went ahead said the lava eruptions are getting weaker, and will likely stop completely in a few hours. If we go then, the timing will be perfect,” said the young warrior.
“But by that time…” the warrior beside him hesitated.
“Damn it! I already told you, even if you go now, it’s useless! You won’t even be able to get close to those seven volcanoes…” the young warrior became impatient and scolded loudly.
Fang Yu walked past these warriors.
Lava flowing for several kilometers around… sounds quite serious.
However, for Fang Yu, this wasn’t a difficulty.
“Are we going there directly?” Liu Liensha asked softly beside him.
“Of course, why else would we come here?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked in return.
At this moment, Fang Yu suddenly saw a familiar figure.
A seven or eight-year-old little girl appeared in front of a candied haws vendor.
The little girl stared at the candied haws, her big eyes full of longing.
This little girl was Ling’er, whom he had met before and who gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity!
Ling’er couldn’t move on after seeing the candied haws.
The woman walking ahead of her was her senior sister Jiang Ruolan, whom Fang Yu also knew.
“Ling’er, do you want to eat candied haws?” Jiang Ruolan asked.
Ling’er nodded quickly.
“Then let’s buy one.” Jiang Ruolan smiled, about to speak with the vendor.
At this moment, another middle-aged woman turned around and stopped Jiang Ruolan, saying: “Not allowed! These snacks are completely useless when eaten too much!”
Jiang Ruolan looked troubled, glanced at the disappointed Ling’er, and said reluctantly: “Master, Ling’er has always stayed in the sect and rarely has the chance to eat such snacks. Please let her have a little…”
“When I say no, it means no! She has already begun fasting, and eating will only harm her, and might even affect her cultivation progress! Do you understand?” the middle-aged woman scolded.
“It’s okay, Senior Sister, I don’t want it anymore.” Seeing Jiang Ruolan being scolded, Ling’er looked guilty and lowered her head.
Jiang Ruolan stroked Ling’er’s head without saying anything.
“Walk faster! This time I brought Ling’er out, I spent a fortune on a concealment pill to hide her cultivation aura, and it only lasts half a day, don’t waste it!” The middle-aged woman said as she walked quickly ahead.
Ling’er, looking dejected, held Jiang Ruolan’s hand and hurried to catch up.
Fang Yu stared at Ling’er, his eyes momentarily blank.
Ling’er’s longing expression when looking at the candied haws was so familiar.
It was as if Fang Yu had known Ling’er many years ago.
But he just couldn’t remember!
“What’s going on?” Fang Yu thought.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Yu quickly followed in the direction Ling’er had left.
Passing by the candied haws vendor, Fang Yu bought a stick.
“I didn’t expect someone your age would still like such snacks…” Liu Liensha said with disdain.
But Fang Yu didn’t eat it, instead putting the candied haws into his storage pouch.
Fang Yu and Liu Liensha silently followed behind the three, slowly walking out of Wufeng County.
Along the way, Fang Yu saw many warriors from various places and factions.
Even the martial arts associations from major regions had sent elite members.
After more than ten minutes, Fang Yu and Liu Liensha left Wufeng County.
After leaving the county, Ling’er and her masters increased their speed significantly, running and leaping quickly toward the Flame Mountain Range.
Fang Yu and Liu Liensha also quickened their pace.
Since he wasn’t clear about the exact direction, Fang Yu chose to continue following behind Ling’er’s group.
After traveling some distance, Ling’er’s master’s face turned cold, and she said to Jiang Ruolan: “Someone is following us.”
Jiang Ruolan looked back and also noticed Fang Yu and Liu Liensha. Her expression changed as she said, “Master, what should we do?”
She thought Ling’er’s cultivation level had been exposed and they were being targeted.
“It doesn’t matter, they’re just two Innate Realm weaklings. We’ll just eliminate them,” the woman said coldly with a smile, stopping in her tracks.
Jiang Ruolan and Ling’er also stopped and turned to look at Fang Yu and Liu Liensha.
“Fellow cultivators, why have you been following us?” the woman asked, her tone icy.
“I told you people would misunderstand,” Liu Liensha glared at Fang Yu in annoyance before explaining, “This… sister, hello, we’re not following you, we just happen to be going the same way…”
“Hehe, you matched our speed, followed for several kilometers, and even when we deliberately took detours, you still followed behind. How is this not following?” the woman sneered, “I am Guo Cuiyun, head of the True Element Sect. Whatever your intentions…”
“Have you ever seen such obvious following?” Fang Yu interrupted Guo Cuiyun, speaking calmly.
“It’s just that your cultivation is too low and you couldn’t keep up, so naturally there were flaws,” Guo Cuiyun mocked, as waves of true energy emanated from her body.
She was a Master Realm warrior, confident she could easily kill both Fang Yu and Liu Liensha.
At this moment, Ling’er was staring at Fang Yu in a daze.
She felt there was something familiar about him.
She stared at Fang Yu’s face, and then recognized him from his eyes!
It was Dao Tian, whom she had met in Wen’an City!
The Dao Tian who had saved her and her senior sister’s lives, with only the seventh level of Innate Realm cultivation!
Although she didn’t know why he looked different, from his aura, those eyes, and even his voice, Ling’er could confirm that the person before her was Dao Tian!
“Master, don’t attack! I know him! He’s Dao Tian, the one I told you about, the Dao Tian who saved me and Senior Sister!” Ling’er hurriedly said.
“Dao Tian?”
Jiang Ruolan frowned, looking at Fang Yu.
Then, she quickly connected Fang Yu’s figure, eyes, and aura with the Dao Tian she had met before.
It seemed… it really was him!
“What’s going on?” Guo Cuiyun looked at Jiang Ruolan with a frown.
“Master… I can recognize him too, he is Dao Tian! He definitely has no ill intentions toward us, please don’t attack!” Jiang Ruolan said.
Being recognized so easily surprised Fang Yu.
However, what Jiang Ruolan and Ling’er knew was only his false identity, which wouldn’t cause any problems.
“Long time no see.” Since he had been recognized, Fang Yu no longer pretended and greeted Ling’er and Jiang Ruolan.
“It really is you, Dao Tian!” Ling’er was very happy and wanted to approach.
At this moment, Guo Cuiyun glared at Ling’er, frightening her.
“I don’t care who he is, but he followed us for such a long distance, he must have ulterior motives!” Guo Cuiyun said coldly.
This woman was truly stubborn as iron and self-important.
Fang Yu looked at Guo Cuiyun, slightly frowning, and said, “I think you should shut…”
Seeing the conflict about to erupt, Jiang Ruolan quickly stepped forward and said to Guo Cuiyun: “Master, I swear on my honor that Mr. Dao Tian definitely has no ill intentions toward us!”
Guo Cuiyun looked at Jiang Ruolan, her gaze as sharp as a knife.
She knew she was probably wrong, but she was giving Fang Yu a hard time only because she saw his low cultivation level, using him to maintain her dignity as a master.
Now that Jiang Ruolan had spoken so firmly, she had no choice but to withdraw her aggressive aura.
However, the fact that her disciple would do this for an outsider still made Guo Cuiyun very unhappy.
“Hmph!” Guo Cuiyun snorted coldly and turned to continue walking forward.
Jiang Ruolan sighed in relief and smiled apologetically at Fang Yu, saying, “Mr. Dao Tian, please…”
“It’s fine,” Fang Yu waved his hand.
“Dao Tian, why are you here?” Seeing Guo Cuiyun walk away, Ling’er immediately came forward and asked curiously.
“Just came to join the excitement,” Fang Yu smiled.
“Join the excitement? This isn’t a place for fun…” Ling’er said.
“Stop chatting! Don’t forget why we came out!” Guo Cuiyun’s cold voice came from ahead.
Ling’er and Jiang Ruolan’s expressions changed slightly.
“Mr. Dao Tian, since we’ve met by fate, let’s travel together. The path ahead may be dangerous, and we can look out for each other,” Jiang Ruolan extended an invitation.
