189 Nothing Good Would Happen (2/2)

Mei Chao Bing didn't feel comfortable speaking up when he wasn't the one leading the group while Song Mu felt that Mei Chao Bing was closer to her so it would be more likely for Mei Chao Bing to answer. Since he didn't want to cross him, he didn't even think of speaking up.

In the end, the one who said his guess was Yuan Lei. ”All sects are about the same distance from each other. So I guess that they should've already gotten there by the time that we reached the Zhen Yan Sect. In fact, they might even be back at our own sect's camp by now.”

Mei Chao Bing and Song Mu both nodded, at least showing that they were of a similar opinion.

Tan Xin couldn't help but become curious when she heard that. ”Then what about us? How long will we be staying here? We'll need about the same time back so that will be quite a lot.”

Yi Ju nodded. ”Right. And then there's also the question of whether anybody has found anything else. Do you really think that the clues we discovered were the only ones?”

This time, Yuan Lei didn't want to give a guess and turned to look at Song Mu.

Since he was the leader, Song Mu could hardly refuse to answer. ”I think we should stay for up to five days and then leave. If something happened before that, we could go already but otherwise, it's good to wait a bit. As for the clues … I really don't know. I'm afraid we can only wait to find out.”

Yi Ju pursed her lips. ”You say if something happens. Are we waiting for something good or something bad to happen?”

Song Mu smiled wryly. ”Well, if they find another clue, it is hard to say whether that is good or bad. It is good in so far as that means that our guess of what the worst-case scenario might be won't come true. On the other hand, it really means that the demonic practitioners were targeting us and have something very big planned. So I guess there's no chance that there will be anything good happening in the border region.”

Yi Ju couldn't help but furrow her brows, realizing that what he said was true. It truly wasn't like they should expect anything good here. She really wished that they would soon find a solution for everything and then be able to leave. She didn't want to have to deal with this any longer.
