Chapter 450: Impending Danger (1)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The guards of the capital institute were specially selected among brave warriors, but even they had no way to fight against the mysterious appearance and disappearance of the demon clan.
Without a choice, the institute director of the school of gold cultivators could only ask for help from the school of terminators.
Only the terminators were the best weapon against the demons.
That day, all the students from the school of terminators were activated. They temporarily stopped their training and were allocated to protecting the students from the school of gold cultivators all day, and they were not allowed to use their mounts.
On the other hand, the institute director of the capital institute had already sent a message to the Emperor to request backup to catch the demons in the institution.
Ji Fengyan and three others were allocated to the school of gold cultivators and their target for protection was the same.
“Fengyan?” Xi Sinong, while seated on his wheelchair, was excited when he saw Ji Fengyan.
Ji Fengyan looked at Xi Sinong with surprise as she did not know that her target for protection was him.
“You guys know each other?” Liu Kai asked curiously.
“Yes,” Ji Fengyan nodded.
Xi Sinong flushed red shyly and told them about how Ji Fengyan had saved him previously. This made Liu Kai and the rest sigh with emotions.
“Don’t worry. With us protecting you, you will definitely be safe.” Liu Kai looked at Xi Sinong’s scrawny body and could not believe that he was the same age as them.
Xi Sinong nodded gently. “Fengyan, seems like I have to trouble you again.”
Ji Fengyan laughed softly, then looked at the shy young boy in front of her, “no worries. I believe you have also been quite taken aback this period, did you notice anything?”
Xi Sinong shook his head. “That thing had always been so mysterious that no one could even detect it. The day before... when my classmate from next door died, I could not even feel a thing. I had only realised that something had happened after hearing the commotion.”
“You’re really at ease. I saw other students from your school being scared out of their wits, yet you don’t seem that scared. Aren’t you afraid at all?” Liu Kai found it surprising.
Xi Sinong was slightly stunned, then he lowered his head uncomfortably and looked at his hands that were rested on his knees, saying “I’m alright because I’m used to it.”
Used to it?
Xi Sinong’s reply made everyone a little lost.
After noticing slight inappropriateness in his response, Xi Sinong immediately said, “I... I don’t mean that, it’s just that... it’s not my first time being attacked by demons, so... so... compared to others, I’m not that easily frightened.”
“You are referring to that time when you were attacked by the scarlet monkey?” Liu Kai asked again.
Xi Sinong remained silent for a while, then lowered his head again. When he was about to nod his head, he eventually changed it to shaking his head.
“Not that time... I... very long time ago, have already encountered demons.”
While Xi Sinong was speaking, the hands that he rested on his knees tightened its grip on his clothes.
“The first time I encountered a demon, I was still young. That demon entered my house and attacked my parents. The blood stench attracted my neighbours’ attention and they came in time to save me. My leg... was also injured during that time.”
As he said, Xi Sinong’s voice became softer.
Knowing that he had been insensitive, Liu Kai said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I... have a loose tongue and should not have asked.”
Xi Sinong looked up. His fair and clean face had an innocent smile as he shook his head and said, “No worries, it has already happened so many years ago.”
