Reencountering the Pool

"We'll just pretend we don't know and let them do as they like."

"That actually makes things more interesting. Otherwise, wouldn't our identities be exposed far too quickly?"

Ning Qi smiled and patted the Medicine Spirit. "All right, you rest in my body. Don't worry anymore."

"Fine."

The Medicine Spirit agreed, then returned directly into Ning Qi's body.

This time, he said nothing more. He simply closed his eyes to rest and conserve his spirit.

Ning Qi turned his gaze downward.

At that moment, he could already see that Zhao Cheng had woken all their fellow disciples.

Each and every one of them looked bleary-eyed and drowsy.

None of them had expected that everything had been perfectly fine here, only for such a situation to suddenly arise.

Ning Qi looked down, and soon noticed that Li Qiuwan was also looking toward him.

After spotting Ning Qi, she even deliberately waved at him.

Ning Qi understood, then leaped straight down.

Before long, he reached the foot of the mountain.

"How is it?"

Ning Qi asked.

"To be safe, we should leave this place first!"

Li Qiuwan sighed as she spoke.

"Oh? If we leave just like this, finding another safe place will be troublesome."

"I feel like they won't come here."

Hearing this, Ning Qi offered his suggestion.

"The problem is, what if they do come?"

Zhao Cheng shook his head and sighed. "We've already lost quite a few brothers. We can't gamble again."

"All right, then. What do you plan to do?"

Ning Qi did not say much else, only asked casually.

He had no intention of stopping them. As long as they were not going off to die, he would not interfere.

"We'll head farther into the mountains this way."

"As long as we avoid them, that'll be enough."
