Chapter 284 Yuan Ming's Worries!
"Is that so?"
Noah muttered, looking at the small beast sitting in his lap narrating the things she had to go through with Yuan Ming during this time.
She started with what happened after he left the sect and ran towards the capital city to save himself, and how, through their journey, they encountered many things and killed many people.
Due to killing someone he should not have, Yuan Ming had to run into one of the most dangerous forests like the Forbidden Forest, but that was the time he came to save and befriend a prince of the Tian Ren Empire.
She then went on to describe how the prince became interested in Yuan Ming's talent and tried to recruit him. The prince told Yuan Ming that he was not interested in the throne and just wanted to pursue cultivation.
Even if he wanted that, his brothers did not think so and wanted to remove him from the throne. That was the reason Tian Heng wanted strong people by his side who could protect him. After Yuan Ming agreed to his proposal, the two of them cultivated side by side until one day the Emperor announced that his friend from a big empire was coming to select a disciple.
The man was none other than Wu Han.
"Truly a fateful person," Noah muttered while patting Hei Guina, making her swoon in his palms. Suddenly the little beast shivered, feeling her instincts screaming at her to run. She looked around and saw two extremely beautiful women looking at her with a dead look in their eyes.
Elysia even allowed the beast to see her body just so she could show her what she would suffer if she had to get closer to Noah.
*Creak!*
Before Hei Guina could pass out from fear, the doors of the room opened and a small head peeked inside curiously.
Noah looked up, his eyes meeting the innocent-looking gray eyes. With a smile on his face, he gestured for the girl to enter the room.
Song Liu beamed with a smile of her own and hopped inside the room. She looked around, seeing the gathering hall filled with sofas and other furniture. Her eyes paused at the cute little creature in Noah's palms before they shone like sparkles.
"Do you think we should be wary of that girl?" Elysia asked, looking at the innocent girl entering the room. Xin Yan immediately shook her head. "She is very innocent, and I don't think she can seduce…"
Before she could finish her sentence, her words went straight back inside her mouth. Song Liu rushed to sit directly beside Noah and leaned against him, patting the hare. Unknowingly, her body was clinging to Noah, her breasts resting on his arms.
"Scratch what I said, we should be most wary of her. The innocent type is the most dangerous." Xin Yan's eyes no longer held any motherly emotions toward the girl. Elysia also nodded in agreement with an absent-minded expression.
…
"Are you done meeting with your senior brothers?" Noah asked while still looking at Hei Guina, who had fallen asleep in his palms.
Song Liu relaxed back on the sofa and nodded before tilting her head a little as if trying to say something.
"You find them weird?" Noah looked and asked. Song Liu once again nodded with an amazed expression, thinking how he was able to tell what she wanted to say.
"I can tell." He once again replied with a smile. "Take a break, you need to start cultivating starting from tomorrow, and you would need a fresh mind for that."
Song Liu nodded and left in the direction of her room. Noah turned his face towards the two women talking to themselves in the other corner of the room and sighed.
He got up and left the room to rest as well, leaving the little hare on the sofa.
***
The Next Day, Yuan Ming went around looking for his hare all over the place. Since he was Wu Han's disciple, just like Tian Heng, he had a separate room in the other direction of the manor.
"She never left for this long before…" Yuan Ming sighed, looking around the medicinal garden, hoping he would find her eating some kind of heavenly herb.
"You are thinking too much, I am sure she is just resting somewhere." Tian Heng sighed as he helped the boy look for his beast. They would have asked their master to help them with his soul sense if it were not for the fact that he was nowhere to be found.
The only thing that was left in this place was a note that said,
"I will be back soon, maybe I will bring back a disciple or a sect mistress or both!"
Recalling those words, Yuan Ming could not help but feel if it was a good thing to have taken that man as his master.
"Sigh~ Should we look for the new elders? They should be able to help us look for her. We can also use this chance to meet our junior sister. She lives in the same quarters as the elders. I saw her wandering around that place in the morning." Tian Heng suggested with a grin on his face.
Yuan Ming stopped, finding the suggestion tempting. They had been looking for Hei Guina for hours now and still could not find her, and the thought of meeting his junior sister made the offer even more sensible.
The two of them hurriedly walked out of the medicinal garden, making their way towards the place where the elders were living.
"Sque…."
As they were passing through the open fields, Yuan Ming heard a familiar sound coming from the side. Although it was barely audible since it was coming from far away, he was able to hear it.
"Guina.." Hurriedly changing his direction, Yuan Ming rushed in the direction of the training grounds that were right beside the fields. Tian Heng also followed behind him and moved in the same direction.
When the two of them arrived at the place where he heard her voice, Yuan Ming's eyes brightened to see her playing in the hands of her junior sister, but soon his expression took a drastic turn. The little hare jumped from Song Liu's hands and jumped in a certain direction.
"What are you doing here?!" Yuan Ming exclaimed in horror when he saw that it was Noah whom Guina approached in happiness. His hands automatically reached for the sword that was on his back.
