"Where did she go?"
On a path through the forest, Fang Li scratched his head, growing somewhat troubled.
"She should be somewhere around here."
After leaving Ryuzu's house, Fang Li had come here to look for Sylvia.
Because he and Sylvia were bound by a contract, Fang Li could vaguely sense where his lover was.
Not long ago, Sylvia seemed to have been here.
"A morning stroll?"
Fang Li chuckled.
"She really is taking it easy..."
As he spoke, Fang Li sensed Sylvia's location again.
However, the place he sensed was still quite a distance from here.
"Why did she go so far?"
Fang Li muttered suspiciously, yet he did not stop walking. Following his senses, he headed deeper into the forest.
"Rustle..."
At that moment, a rustling sound came from the bushes beside him.
An elf girl in a robe, dressed with an air of maturity, emerged from the bushes and came face-to-face with Fang Li.
"Oh?"
A childish voice came from her lips.
"Is that little Fang?"
There was only one person in all of the Sanctuary who called Fang Li that.
That was Ryuzu, the Sanctuary's representative and the owner of the residence where Fang Li's group was currently staying.
"Miss Ryuzu?" Fang Li raised his brows as well. Looking at Ryuzu, who had suddenly emerged from the bushes, he said in surprise, "What are you doing in a place like this?"
"Nothing much. Just taking a morning walk, and checking on little Garfiel while I'm at it." Ryuzu spoke as if sighing. "Recently, that boy seems to have become rather paranoid. He's been wandering everywhere, and who knows what nonsense he's been up to."
"Is that so?" Fang Li replied calmly. "If that's the case, then I suppose it was because of me."
"You?" Ryuzu froze
