118 That Type of Person (1/2)

While the two Elders had the discussion, not far from them, Yun Bei Fen was once again practicing his ability to control his flying sword under Mei Chao Bing's guidance. Or, well, Yun Bei Fen was practicing his ability. As for Mei Chao Bing's guidance … To be honest, there wasn't very much of that.

Yun Bei Fen couldn't help but steal glances at Mei Chao Bing every now and then only to find the same pensive expression on his face. It really made him worried. Mei Chao Bing had looked like this all the time since they had gone back to the stone desert. It made him wonder if there had been something he had noticed.

He wanted to ask but then again, he might not understand and he didn't want to bother Mei Chao Bing while he was thinking. What if he lost track of where he had just been in his musings and couldn't find the answer he wanted? That wouldn't do.

Yun Bei Fen looked back at the sword that seemed to be shaking even more than usual and sighed. It would be good if he knew a bit more about cultivation. Then he would be able to help Mei Chao Bing instead of just being a bother all the time. Maybe he should also do the same as Yi Ju and ask the others to help them out a bit. If he learned more, then Mei Chao Bing would probably be proud of him.

He pondered for a moment and finally shook his head. Even if he did, that also wouldn't be good. After all, he would get to spend much less time with Mei Chao Bing if he had one of the others teach him. Wasn't it much better to have Mei Chao Bing teach him? Then he could learn and still spend time with him.

Yun Bei Fen once again looked over and then finally lowered the sword. He hesitated again but then walked over, sitting down next to Mei Chao Bing. Then he just looked at him.

Mei Chao Bing glanced up at the sound of footsteps and was startled out of his thoughts. Right … He had forgotten to give advice to Yun Bei Fen. He sighed and reached out, rubbing Yun Bei Fen's head. \”I'm sorry, I was … thinking about something.\”

Yun Bei Fen watched his expression and pursed his lips. \”Can I help with that?\”

Mei Chao Bing's lips curled into a smile. Most likely, Yun Bei Fen would not be able to help. But just that he was asking him was already very good. \”Well, I'm just thinking about what happened today. I find it … to be too coincidental.\”

Yun Bei Fen blinked his eyes. \”But isn't that good? We were pretty lucky, weren't we?\”

\”Well, if we were, then that would be good. The problem is that I'm not quite sure if it's just luck or something else.\”
