91 No Time for Idle Gossip (2/2)

Kui Min stared at him but finally, she could only shake her head.

Yun Bei Fen nodded. ”I also wasn't sure. I think that first senior martial brother might want to say that he likes the sword just as much as second senior martial brother likes senior martial sister Zhang. So I guess that second senior martial brother must like senior martial sister Zhang very, very much. Because first senior martial brother really likes his sword very much.

”You don't know but he'll take it everywhere with him and he takes really good care of it. So I'm sure it must be a very special sword, ah.” Thinking of that, Yun Bei Fen couldn't help but turn to Mei Chao Bing. He happily grabbed his sleeve, before he turned back to Kui Min. ”Actually, I also have a sword that is very important to me. Senior martial brother Mei promised that he'll make a new one for me though. I'm sure I'll like that one even more.”

Kui Min was hardly able to wrap her head around that explanation of Zhi Guan, never mind paying attention to what Yun Bei Fen had said about his own sword. Just when she wanted to ask some more, Mei Chao Bing tensed up.

”Wait!” He looked behind them, narrowing his eyes. ”Something just changed behind us.”

Even though Kui Min might engage in idle gossip while they were traveling and nothing much was happening, she also understood that they were in the border region and had to pay attention to their surroundings. Since Mei Chao Bing had noticed something, she definitely wouldn't continue with what she had been doing before. ”What is it?”

Mei Chao Bing furrowed his brows, cursing himself. He knew exactly what had changed: It was the array that he hadn't told anybody about. So how was he supposed to alert the rest of the group about this? How was he supposed to alert the other disciples that were currently investigating close by? What if the demonic practitioners came running over soon?

Seeing his tense expression, Kui Min also tensed up. She took out a small fan, falling into a position that would make it easy for her to attack or defend depending on what was happening.

Yun Bei Fen could only look from one person to the other, hoping to find out just what was going on.

Mei Chao Bing patted his back to calm him down and then turned back to Kui Min. ”There was a sudden change in the spiritual energy behind us. I'm afraid there might have been an array in the area we investigated before. I don't know what it is but something happened over there. Maybe some demonic practitioners sneaked there and did something. I'm afraid it will be very dangerous. I'd suggest meeting up with the other two and then maybe going to meet the other disciples as well. It's safer to stay together since we don't know what we'll encounter.”

Kui Min nodded. She tugged the fan under her arm and pulled out a small flute, putting it against her lips. Then, a trill sounded in the area around them, traveling into the distance.
