79 A Strange Place (2/2)

How many of them actually had experience with investigating anything? How many of them had even taken part in a mission before this? Had anybody bothered to check that? Normally, there was nothing wrong with taking somebody on a mission to gain experience. Wasn't that what Yun Bei Fen was here for? It wasn't a problem to take them along and explain.

But that would still need somebody who could explain to them. If the other disciples were just as clueless as the person that needed the experience, then nobody would learn anything. They needed somebody who could guide them. Otherwise, this whole mission would end in disaster.

They wouldn't find out what the demonic cultivators were planning. They wouldn't find even the simplest clues. And if they happened upon somebody from the other side, they might even get injured or die. After all, they weren't able to look out for themselves if they didn't understand what was going on. That was the sad truth.

He really would've liked to say that it was different but that was all he could glean from the current situation. Maybe he should try to talk to Elder Baili about this. If it was him, there would at least be a chance that the other would listen to him and maybe try to implement some changes for the rest of the mission. Anyway, they couldn't go on like this.

Mei Chao Bing still forced himself to nod for the time being. ”Ah, so it's like that. Then let's continue on. You wouldn't mind if I used the opportunity to teach Fen'er some things, would you?” He reached out and rubbed his little bunny's head while he said so, making his lover's expression light up.

Kui Min looked from one person to the other and couldn't help but feel that they were really a cute couple. It seemed if they were investigating together for a while, there would be no need to ask anybody for details. She would obviously be able to witness all herself! ”No, just go ahead! It's good if you teach him a bit. He's still young, after all.”

Mei Chao Bing slightly raised his brows, wondering how she could say that when she obviously wasn't any older than Yun Bei Fen. In fact, she might even be younger. But, well, then again, not everyone was as sheltered as Yun Bei Fen. So looking at it from that direction, she might be right to call him young.

Kui Min already turned back around and continued onward, still not paying too much attention to the details around them and just casually looking around as if she might magically stumble upon a clue.

Mei Chao Bing looked at Yun Bei Fen and gave him a smile. ”Being on a mission is an opportunity to learn. You should use it wisely.”

Yun Bei Fen nodded earnestly. ”Then what should I do?”

Mei Chao Bing nodded to the front. ”Well, it would be best to do what I taught you in the forest. Try to sense the spiritual energy ahead. That way, you'll know if there are any beasts or maybe even cultivators upfront that could be dangerous for us.”

Yun Bei Fen didn't ask twice and did as he was told. It wasn't that easy though. In the forest, everything had mostly stayed the same. The beasts over there hadn't been too strong and the trees all had more or less the same amount of spiritual energy. The stone desert though … ”This is such a strange place.”

Mei Chao Bing nodded. Indeed, this really was a strange place. If even Yun Bei Fen could see that, then that spoke leagues about how strange it really had to be. After all, he still wasn't able to differentiate between the subtle nuances of spiritual strength.
