Chapter 55

  I silently gazed up at the night sky, feeling that it was futile to say more and make things even darker, so I let them continue their discussion. I quietly retreated from Ye Chenyi's side. Speaking of which, since earlier, I hadn't seen any of our junior high school friends around. I took a look around and felt somewhat puzzled. Originally, I had wanted to habitually ask You Xuan beside me, but the hand that reached out to grab her sleeve ended up grasping at air.

  Huh? Youxuan?

  I turned around in surprise and found that I had unknowingly strayed away from the camp.

  Sweat...... Cheng Xiaofei, very good and powerful......

  I tried to go back to the bonfire, but found that not far away there was also a faintly flickering flame. Curiosity and excitement made my heart jump with joy, and naturally, the kind-hearted Cheng Xiaofei wouldn't hurt herself. So I walked in the opposite direction.

  The night wind was blowing gently, and with each step, it seemed as if the flame was getting closer by a fraction, but that was not the case, for it too was moving.

  Is it human?

  Because the other party was moving quickly, and my goal was to catch up with them, I slightly quickened my pace. Probably due to it being too dark, my calf was scratched by many stones and thorns.

  A faint conversation came from afar: "Yiran young master, what should we do?" The speaker was a girl who sounded exceptionally weak. Why? Because the words were filled with sobs.

  But what was her name? Young Master Yiran?

  Could it be those people from the junior high school department?

  I immediately took out my phone to call Cheng Yiran for confirmation, but unfortunately there was no signal. I didn't have much physical strength left either, so I gave up shouting loudly. My pace quickened involuntarily again and again.

  "Who?!" A sudden loud shout startled me, forcing me to stop in my tracks. The wind howled as I carefully tried to dodge the branch by my neck. As I looked up at the sneak attacker, I thought to myself, "Ahh, Cheng Xiaofei, you're really too pathetic! Your usually reliable kung fu skills have deteriorated, and your vigilance is so poor."

  But when I saw clearly that person, he also seemed to have noticed my identity, and the thin hard branches were put down.

  Ahaha, that's what I'm saying, everything has a reason. How could I bear to hit my lovely and precious little brother? I tried hard to find excuses for myself in my heart.

  "Sister?" I stared at his shocked face with a black line on mine, come on, shouldn't it be me who's surprised?

  "Yi Ran, what are you doing here?" As his voice trailed off, several people emerged one after another from the thicket of trees behind him... all the members of the junior high school department had arrived.

  No wonder I didn't see it just now.

  Cheng Yiran smiled somewhat unnaturally, and after I stared at him for a while, he finally obediently spoke in a low voice: "It's time to cook dinner, we originally planned to find some around here, but..."

  I gave him a sidelong glance: "Lost your way?"

  He lowered his head and twisted his fingers, with an adorable expression: "En."

  Although he really looks very innocent, doesn't he think it's embarrassing for a young master who is always arrogant to get lost? Moreover, getting lost with so many people...

  Aren't you afraid of being reported as a missing person?

  I pulled him aside and gave him a bit of face, asking: "Cheng Yiran, how good is your sense of direction? Ah? You know you're basically a navigation idiot, yet you lead the team?! If it weren't for the fact that you guys were lucky enough to run into me today, otherwise you would have really become lost persons!!"

  He rolled his eyes, turned his head away and said, "Alright, alright, sis, I really didn't mean to." I glared at him - what's the big deal if he didn't mean to?! He swallowed hard, continuing to try to talk his way out of it: "And besides, I was originally going to go alone, but they insisted on following..."

  "Is Master Cheng making excuses?" I asked with a smile.

  The fourteen-year-old boy hastily shook his head, and I was somewhat puzzled: "Am I very scary to your sister?"

  He dryly laughed twice, forget it, I won't bother with this boring issue anymore. "Aren't you planning to leave? Hurry up and get back in formation!" He responded with a sound, then called everyone over to my side. Luckily that boring moment earlier didn't happen in front of these kids, otherwise I think being in this crowd wouldn't be much better either.

  But they are really formidable, and can actually walk in a completely opposite direction.

  There were several little girls staring at me cautiously, making me have to rethink the question: am I, Cheng Xiaofei, very terrifying?

  I gazed up at the sky with a strange expression, and silently sighed. I chose to ignore it directly, but my gaze didn't weaken in the slightest. It wasn't until after a while that I reacted, realizing that it was because I had stood beside Yiyuan Temple's beloved one. I let out another sigh, little girl, you don't dare say anything directly when you're dissatisfied.
