"Can I help you?" Wei Ying asked with a straight face.
"No... not at all," Sima Yan hastily answered.
They walked out of the city and into a forest.
"Are you sure you know where you're heading?" Sima Yan asked.
"Obviously running away," Wei Ying answered calmly.
"Why is that?"
"It is my tale of...." He paused for some reason, and looked ahead with his eyelids slightly drooping.
"Are you...?" Before Sima Yan could complete what he had to say, Wei Ying suddenly collapsed.
"Oi, hey, Ying,Ying?" Sima Yan shook Wei Ying gently. His hand suddenly brushed against Wei Ying's own.
His hands were as cold as ice, and his pale face was whiter than paper. Sima Yan gently placed him on the ground and, lit a fire beside him.
He used his outer robe to cover Wei Ying's body and sat beside him with a somewhat worried look.
"Ying," he called softly when he noticed some movements from him.
"What are you doing?" Wei Ying asked with a faint sense of vigilance.
"You suddenly passed out. I was worried."
"I don't need it."
There was an awkward silence between the both of them. The ground suddenly shook violently and horrible screams were constantly in the air.
Wei Ying let out a black soul aura that wondered around their surroundings and came back to him.
Not too far from them people were fighting with a deathcrest ape.
"They seem to be fighting with a monster. Do you wanna help?"
Sima Yan asked.
"If it's rather coincidental....then I'll avoid them as much as I can," Wei Ying answered.
Two people flew out of the forest behind them and landed right in front of them. They were covered in blood and dust.
They looked really embarrassed. The ape also flew out of the jungle. Sensing that there were more than two humans....the ape became excited.
Ohh...you poor soul!!
The ape hit the man in blue with its claws, and the other man who was affected by the sudden release vomited a mouthful of blood.
Wei Ying stood up from his position elegantly, and stared intently at the ape. Black smoke came out of his body, and surrounded the black ape's body.
The ape screamed with a look of astonishment in his eyes, and he exploded.
Boom!!
Just like that?!
Oh baby, that's its fate!
The two guys who were chased by the ape turned to look at Wei Ying with horror clearly written on their faces.
They also exploded and turned into nothing.
"Why'd you kill them?"
"They're unpleasing to the eye. They must've already known I'm a Ghost cultivator," Wei Ying answered calmly.
Sima Yan fell silent and studied Wei Ying's face for a while.
"You obviously don't want me on your side. You killed them, so I'll be frightened and run away like some rabbit," he said.
"It's great you can see how obvious it is."
