120 Who Can Give Advice? (1/2)

When the next morning arrived, the Elders didn't mention anything to the disciples, making the ones in Mei Chao Bing's group wonder just what was going on.

”Could it be that the things we found weren't important at all?” One of the martial brothers couldn't help but ask that, looking at Song Mu as if he would be able to give him an answer.

Song Mu just glanced at him in return but didn't say anything. He wasn't the leader of this group so there was nothing he could say about that. If the Elders did inform anybody of something, then that would be Mei Chao Bing. He certainly wouldn't get between these people for something as trivial as this.

Mei Chao Bing glanced at them and wanted to sigh. One could almost assume he had snatched that guy's girlfriend away, considering that he always wanted to go against him. He pondered for a moment and then looked at Yun Bei Fen. Maybe he wasn't that far off with that thought.

Anyway, it would be nice if they could get to the point where he wouldn't always be the last person the others asked if they were in doubt about something. Otherwise, it really would be difficult to lead his team in the future.

”The Elders will probably conduct their own, more thorough investigation before they announce anything. Even though Elder Xing took a look at the stone desert together with us yesterday, that might not be enough. They'll probably check the town as well and probably inform the Teng Yong Sect before they take the next step. They have to keep some more things in mind than us.”

The martial brother huffed a bit but didn't say anything to Mei Chao Bing. Well, at the very least, his question was now answered.

Mei Chao Bing turned away and didn't bother about him any longer, waving for the others to follow him. ”I assume that there won't be anything more to find in the abandoned city. We should take a look at the rest of the area we are in charge of. We should look for any other special places and things like we found yesterday. So keep your eyes open for that.”

They moved out and searched for anything out of place but this time around, things didn't go as easy as before. Neither did they find a place that stood out to them nor did they find an array or any kind of mural that pointed to one of the four big sects of the righteous side.

Mei Chao Bing couldn't help but once again feel that things weren't quite right. They hadn't had any trouble finding the array, the mural in the abandoned city and the map in the stone desert. But now, it was suddenly as if there wasn't a single hint left in the border region.

That was a little too coincidental. Most likely, there really was more behind them being able to find these clues in the first place. When they got back this evening, he definitely had to go and talk to Elder Baili. He couldn't keep the thought to himself. Even if he was just too anxious and making this thing up in his mind, it was still better if somebody else knew. He did not want to leave any chance for his Master to manipulate either him or somebody else. He owed that much to the Teng Yong Sect. And most importantly, to himself.
