Xu Qi retreated speedily into the forest, concealing his aura and hiding next to a tree. Due to his small size, it would be difficult for anyone to spot him in the night, even if they were to stand right before him.
Just as he had fully hidden himself, a white silhouette drifted to the ground, scouting along the path Xu Qi had just quit.
I was indeed being followed, and I didn't even notice their presence. Who exactly is it possessing such strength?, Xu Qi thought, as the white silhouette showed itself.
The silhouette stood on the spot and scanned its surroundings cautiously. Then, its gaze fell on the tree where Xu Qi had hidden himself at. It raised its knee and launched a flying kick toward the tree.
Before the white silhouette's kick landed on the tree, it suddenly turned and zipped over to another tree, concealing themselves.
Hmm? It was actually a woman. Interesting. Xu Qi, who had kept his cool and remained still during all this, picked up a faint fragrance as the white silhouette flew over. He was sure this fragrance came from a woman; such a smell definitely wouldn't belong to a man.
Then, a bloody smell wafted over. Xu Qi furrowed his brow in displeasure upon noticing it. The next moment, he felt a sinister aura approaching the forest.
As expected, very soon, a black silhouette landed next to the tree where the white silhouette had hidden herself at.
"Shui Qingyu, are you going to show yourself on your own volition, or would you rather I 'invite' you out?" the bloody-odored black silhouette demanded.
Then, the hidden white silhouette walked out of hiding and said plainly, "You people from Shadow Wind Sect are as detestable as ever. I only came out to take a breather, and you actually followed me here."
The white-robed person who had followed him out here was as he'd expected; the voice he'd just heard was a woman's voice.
Xu Qi was surprised at what he just heard. The Shadow Wind Sect of the nation of Ghosteem? No wonder there's such a heavy odor of blood. Unexpectedly, he had randomly come across someone from the top cultivation school of Ghosteem just like that. Against such an expert, Xu Qi didn't dare to be careless in the slightest, and remained still.
The black silhouette cackled, and said, "Shui Qingyu, you're not qualified to berate our Shadow Wind Sect. That aside, what are you people from Misty Tower of Waterdusk doing out here at this remote place; what are you up to?" His laughter was one that made one tremble at the sound of it.
Misty Tower… of Waterdusk? God damn it, why would I run into two top cultivation schools just by coming out of the city? How unlucky, Xu Qi cursed inwardly.
"What, Yi Jiu, are you saying that your Shadow Wind Sect is allowed to be here, but we Misty Tower isn't? What nonsense are you spouting?" the lady named Shui Qingyu retorted.
"Hur hur, I didn't say that; I'm only curious as to why Miss Shui would be out here taking a walk alone. That was why I couldn't help but follow along to the wilderness. It would be bad news if anything were to happen to Miss Shui," the man called Yi Jiu replied eerily.
"Hmph! Stop beating around the bush, Yi Jiu. If you have something to say, say it; I don't have time to waste on you. Don't spoil my mood for walks." From the way Shui Qingyu spoke, it was obvious she was irritated.
