Star Dou Great Forest.
The slightly awkward atmosphere had been continuing until now, especially when Ning Tian was absorbing her third Soul Ring, the atmosphere felt even more peculiar.
Ao Yao and Wu Feng stared at each other, neither of them speaking. They stood on either side, vaguely protecting Ning Tian, who was absorbing the Soul Ring, in the middle.
Ao Yao simply didn't want to create more trouble by speaking, given Wu Feng's poor attitude towards him. Wu Feng's emotions, however, were much more complicated.
The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was located at the border between Heaven Dou City of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Lima Plains, not far from the Star Dou Great Forest. Traveling at the speed of a Soul Tool carriage pulled by four hundred-year-old Horned Kylin Horses, they reached the outer area of the Star Dou Great Forest in just two days.
And during these two days, Wu Feng's name had appeared multiple times in Ao Yao's diary, earning her two levels of Soul Power as a reward.
Compared to the rewards Ning Tian received, the increase of these two Soul Power levels seemed ordinary, but Wu Feng was still quite satisfied. With the reward of these two levels, her current Soul Power Level had reached twenty-six, bringing her one step closer to becoming a three-ring Assault Type Soul Elder, and one step closer to the goal of being able to accompany Xiao Tian and protect her.
Therefore, Wu Feng was quite grateful to Ao Yao.
It was just that...
After two days, she could clearly feel that Ning Tian's attitude towards Ao Yao was unusual, even a bit overly close.
Especially when hunting Soul Beasts, Ao Yao drew a strange soft sword from his Soul Tool and repelled the Soul Beast with a casual strike, successfully helping Ning Tian kill it.
After that, Ning Tian's eyes clearly held a bit more affection.
She had seen it clearly.
This made her heart immediately feel a sense of crisis... but she was powerless to do anything, only able to watch it all happen.
This feeling was very unpleasant.
Ao Yao had no idea of Wu Feng's complex emotions, nor did he know that she had already imagined a dramatic plot in her mind. He was currently looking around at the environment of the Star Dou Great Forest.
This is my first time in the Star Dou Great Forest since I grew up. The largest Soul Beast gathering place besides the ocean is indeed vast... The only unfortunate thing is that we encountered a Soul Beast suitable for Ning Tian to absorb too early. She has already finished absorbing her Soul Ring. Now, what excuse should I come up with to stay here...
It's truly troublesome!
Speaking of which, the Star Dou Great Forest is so big, where should I look for Huo Yuhao? The thought of Huo Yuhao obtaining Electrolux's Divine Sense Fragment makes me unable to sleep!
It seems I can only try my luck...
But why do I always feel like the Star Dou Great Forest is so gloomy? It's like a pair of lewd eyes are peeping at me from the shadows... It couldn't be that I've attracted the attention of that scumbag Tang San, right?
That makes no sense! I've been writing in my diary for several days, and now I've received the reward of Heavenly Secrets Concealment. The reward clearly told me that I can blind Tang San's perception...
So... who is the one secretly peeping at me?
Ao Yao pondered to himself while writing in his diary.
Logically speaking, the hidden scrutiny should come from the powerful experts of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect responsible for protecting Ning Tian. After all, as the heir of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, even for the sake of tempering, she wouldn't be so careless as to think that Wu Feng, with her two-ring cultivation, and himself, with only a ten-level Soul Power on the surface, could successfully complete the hunt.
Someone must be protecting her in secret.
But Ao Yao felt something was wrong, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
If it were the people from the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect guarding Ning Tian, their attention should be more focused on Ning Tian, not on him.
Could it be that my small display of skill just now alerted someone in the shadows to something unusual?
Recalling Sect Master Ning's sudden visit and his decision to accompany Ning Tian to Shrek Academy, Ao Yao suddenly understood.
I get it!
I suppose the anomaly that occurred at the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect that day must have aroused Sect Master Ning's suspicion, and that sword strike just now solidified their guess...
Since that's the case, I don't need to pretend to be weak anymore... The rewards I've received in the past few days simply don't allow me to continue being low-key!
So, from now on, the Saint of Hiding is dead! The next one to appear is I Don't Eat Beef!
Noticing the content that appeared on the diary, Wu Feng turned her head and glanced at Ao Yao, her expression becoming even more complex.
Gu Yuena's expression immediately became strange.
Could the lewd eyes Ao Yao mentioned in his diary be referring to Di Tian?
It was she who had instructed Di Tian to keep a constant watch on any humans entering the Star Dou Great Forest. Based on the information Ao Yao mentioned in his diary about Ning Tian and Wu Feng, Di Tian had locked onto the three of them the moment they entered the Star Dou Great Forest.
Their every move had been under Di Tian's watch.
She hadn't expected Ao Yao to be able to detect Di Tian's gaze...
Gu Yuena was startled for a moment, but then found it somewhat amusing.
If Di Tian knew that Ao Yao had described him with the word "lewd," he would probably pay a heavy price.
Of course, this thought was only a thought.
No, not even a thought.
Bound by the diary, Gu Yuena could not reveal its existence to Di Tian, let alone tell him what Ao Yao had said.
If she spoke, she would likely be judged by the diary as instigating Di Tian to attack Ao Yao... Her current physical condition could not withstand another punishment from the diary.
And...
The next guess made by this human named Ao Yao was also quite interesting to Gu Yuena.
The process was entirely wrong, so the conclusion was naturally also entirely wrong.
It seems this human isn't all-knowing.
And they claim the help of us Soul Beasts is insignificant...
Thinking this, Gu Yuena's mood instantly brightened considerably.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion lazily lifted its small head. Sensing its master's mood had inexplicably improved, it didn't react further, simply lowering its head again to continue its nap.
It had already grown accustomed to this.
Ever since that diary appeared and it came to its master's dwelling, it had grown accustomed to its master's unpredictable moods.
Its master's emotions seemed to be frequently swayed by the contents of the diary.
For a beast like itself, which understood little to none of the diary's content, it couldn't comprehend why its master's emotions were so volatile.
Mm...
Might as well sleep.
Here with its master, besides sleeping, it seemed there was nothing else for it to do.
