Chapter Seven, Traveling Together

  Bai Yu handed a rabbit's hind leg to Ye Feng, looking at Xu Jian who was eating hastily, "Xu Dian, how did you end up running into this forest?"

  Xu Jian still buried his head and ate bitterly, "Occasionally I think of Xu Xian, but it's actually Xu Dian!" (I'm not Xu Dian, I'm Xu Jian).

  Yè Fēng didn't understand, "What did you say?"

  Xu Shaoye fell silent...

  Just then, the three of them vaguely heard a shout. Ye Feng was surprised, "Who is it? I'll go take a look." Xu Jian immediately stopped eating and threw away the rabbit, grabbing Ye Feng with one hand, his expression flustered. Xiao Bai was also surprised and asked, "Xu Jian, what's wrong with you? Are those people looking for you?"

  At this time, Xu Jian certainly didn't want to tell the truth anymore. Joking aside, I had just managed to escape, and if I was found, wouldn't I lose my freedom again? He had forgotten how miserable his own "freedom" had been just a moment ago.

  "He... they're bad people!"

  Ye Feng and Xiao Bai looked at each other in confusion, saying "Bad guys?"

  Xu Jiandao said, "Right! They're bad people, I barely escaped from them, now they've caught up with us, let's hurry and run!"

  At this time, Bai Yu smiled, "Don't worry, after all, I am a first-class warrior! I will protect you!"

  Xu Jian was originally quite nervous, but when he heard Bai Yu's words, he relaxed, "I'm still a second-level warrior!" As he spoke, his body emitted a faint blue light. Xiao Bai didn't say anything because he felt that this energy was stronger than the energy he had released.

  "Run quickly! They'll catch up soon!" Xu Jian said, pulling Ye Feng and Bai Yu to run.

  "Wait a minute, I'll get my bag," Ye Feng said, grabbing his bag and following after him, although he felt something was off.

  Before they had gone very far, they heard someone speaking behind them.

  "There's fire ahead!"

  "Could it be Young Master?"

  "Take a look back!"

  Only two people walked towards the bonfire left by Ye Feng, wearing uniform silver-white armor with golden stripes drawn on the armor to depict a spotted tiger pattern, with the tiger's head on their chest. The two eyes were made of some unknown black gemstone, in a forward-pouncing posture, which was quite majestic and awe-inspiring.

  "There are traces of dispersing powder all around, and half a rabbit, it should be a group of adventurers having a meal here" one of them said. Another person took two steps forward, looking at the three footprints on the ground, suddenly stood up straight, "Follow the footprints to chase!" After finishing speaking, he walked away like the wind.

  Another one hastily followed up and asked, "What did you find?"

  "That person replied, 'It shouldn't be some adventurer, adventurers wouldn't be so inexperienced, the fire isn't even extinguished, and the footprints aren't handled... Moreover, this footprint is too small, it should be three kids, one of whom should be a young master...'"

  At the same time, Ye Feng and his two companions were still running forward, but Xu Jian's heart was getting more and more anxious. "This way, we'll definitely not be able to escape! Their speed is much faster than ours!"

  "What should we do?" asked Bai Yu as he ran.

  Ye Feng thought for a moment, "Climb the tree!"

  Then the three of them climbed up a tree. They didn't understand why so many trees around had to gather together, but fortunately this tree was big enough and dense enough that the three children couldn't be seen after they got on it.

  Just as they had taken a few breaths, the two of them caught up and stopped side by side in front of the tree. One of them rubbed his chin, "The footprints disappear here..." Suddenly, a fist slammed into the tree.

  Three people were caught off guard. Bai Yu fell to the ground and got up after a roll, Ye Feng directly fell to the ground, while Mr. Xu tightly hugged a thick branch, barely not falling down.

  Bai Yu vigilantly looked at the two of them, "Ye Ge, are you okay?"

  Yefeng slowly got up from the ground, "Cough cough, it's nothing, just a bit painful."

  It's also thanks to Ye Feng that he can fall from such a high tree and still be in good condition (why do I say this?).

  Those two people looked at Ye Feng and Bai Yu, one of them said to Bai Yu, "Not bad reaction, who are you two?" The other shouted at the tree, "Young master! Come down!"

  Xu Jian reluctantly slid down from the tree.

  Ye Feng immediately understood when he heard this person call Xu Jian "Young Master Xu", and asked, "Xu Dian, what's going on?"

  Xu Jian was speechless, "I'm not Xu Dian, I'm Xu Jian!"

  Bai Yu hadn't reacted yet and was still on high alert.

  Ye Feng walked over and patted Xiao Bai, saying, "Alright Xiao Bai, didn't you see him call Xu Dian 'Young Master'? This might be a misunderstanding."

  One of the two men looked at Ye Feng, "Not bad, you're quite clever. This is our young master Xu's son. Just now... he sneaked out and we came to find him." The man also felt that being knocked unconscious by his own young master wasn't something to be proud of, so he glossed over it. After finishing speaking, he looked at Xu Jian, "Young Master, let's go with us."

  Xu Jian was like an eggplant that had been frostbitten, hanging his head in despair. "Sigh, it's not much further, you can all go back now."

  The two of them looked embarrassed, "Young master, the clan leader instructed us to escort you all the way to Shenfeng Academy... This, please take a look..."

  This sentence made Ye Feng and Bai Yu's eyes light up instantly, "You're going to Shenfeng Academy?"

  One of them furrowed his brow, "Yes, what's wrong?"

  "Both of us are also going to Shenfeng Academy!" Ye Feng said hastily.

  Xu Jianyi heard this and happily said, "That's great! Let's go together! Is that okay, Uncle Guardian?"

  The two guards exchanged a glance, and two months ago, they still remembered the clan leader's serious words to them: "In the northern part of the Wind and Snow Country, there is a Blue Ice City with a Divine Wind Academy. This Divine Wind Academy only recruits people every three years, and in three months' time, it will be the day of recruitment. You two should prepare yourselves! The principal of the Divine Wind Academy is a very difficult person to deal with. If you see him, don't use our Xu family's influence to pressure him. This person is not easy to mess with, and those who can enter his academy are either exceptionally talented or have a powerful force backing them. These kinds of people should not be provoked. If you encounter him, it would be best for Jian'er to make friends with him."

  Still remember when they first heard these words from the clan leader, how shocked they were! The two of them knew very well what kind of power the clan leader had! Even the clan leader said so, then this Dean Tao of Shenfeng Academy was truly... unfathomable!

  Thinking of this, nodded slightly...

  And so, the five of them traveled together...
