Seen red writing on the cloth.

"DON'T INTERFERENCE THEIR CONCERN TOO FAR," said Wan Lie reading the inscription on the cloth. ​​

Reflex both of them turned to look for the origin of the arrow but to no avail. Not a single creature was visible within their line of sight.

"Hmm, is this message aimed at us?" Wan Lie asked his mother.

"I don't know," now Fu Xie Lan became convinced, that something was wrong in Parqus Village. Previously this had crossed her mind when the villagers talked about their situation. But she put it aside because she did not have clear evidence.

"Come on," she asked back after seeing the reddish color on the western horizon starting to disappear.

On the way back to the academy, Fu Xie Lan was secretly appraising Wan Lie. Who is he? why she always had the feeling as if they were very close. This was the first time she had felt this way after being in two lives.

Sunlight slowly began to fade replaced by the moonlight that was not too bright, cold air began to be felt a little. They've been walking for about an hour or so. There is no conversation between them. There was silence, and only the sound of footsteps could be heard to each other breaking dry leaves.

"Wear this on Mom," Wan Lie's voice suddenly distracted Fu Xie Lan, followed by a robe that wrapped her body from behind.

"…" Xie Lan gave a confused look.

"I don't want you to be cold," he said again when he saw the confusion on his mother's face.

"O-oh emm, thank you."

Hearing his mother's voice made him smile, a warmth enveloped his heart. Wan Lie occasionally saw his mother just to make sure that his mother was nearby.

If only he had known the way to the academy, maybe he'd already taken his mother flying and had arrived at their destination without having to walk.

Even though he could see everything from the air, he had yet to see what the phoenyx academy looked like at all, because all this time he had only been around Fu Xie Lan in Elder Chen's residence. The person disguised as Elder Bao also led them through the back door of the academy so that he didn't have a clear picture of phoenyx academy yet.

Thinking of Elder Chen's residence suddenly made his brain work fast. If he couldn't find the academy, wouldn't Elder Chen's residence be a guide for him? But how? He didn't even know where the elder's residence was. It was impossible if he had to fly all over the place looking for it, right? it will just be a waste of time. It seemed like walking was the right thing.

After he went through the event that nearly took the lives of both of them, he became aware of something. It turned out that having demonic power didn't help him if he had no fighting experience at all. Maybe, now and then he should find someone to fight with?

"hhhhhffff."

"What is wrong?" asked Fu Xie Lan, who knows how many times he heard Wan Lie's sigh.

"It's okay Mom, is it still far?"

"No, isn't."

"Mother, may I ask?"

"Hmm?"

"I've been wondering, why did you ask the villagers to follow you? Isn't there already me who will continue to look after you?" asked Wan Lie slowing down.

"Do you mind?"

"Of course not Mother, I support all your decisions. I'm just a little curious."

Fu Xie Lan just nod a good cheer and strolled forward accelerating his pace.

"Come on, the academy is in front," he said again.

"Watch out, Mom."

Suddenly Wan Lie moved as fast as lightning, protecting his mother from a brownish snake about the size of his mother's arm which suddenly ran from the side.

Fu Xie Lan fell to the ground in shock as one grabbed her shoulder. She turned her head and found a two-headed snake already enveloped in flames. She watched as the snake burned for a few seconds then turned to ashes.

Her surprise made her freeze not knowing what to do. The first time in her life to see such an animal.

"Now, it's okay Mom," said Wan Lie reaching out to help his mother up.

"Are you all right, Mom?" he added again.

"O-oh y-yes, just a little surprised," she replied, grabbing Wan Lie's hand as a grip to stand up.

"Thank you."

"Can I say about something, Mom?"

"In the future, whenever it is or how I help you, don't thank me, I don't like it if you just keep on thanking me. I should have helped you, and I don't need any thanks at all," continued Wan Lie pleading with Fu Xie Lan.

"Fine, if that's what you want." A feeling of emotion suddenly came over her without knowing why.

Was it a fortune for her met with a young man who was always willing to look after her? I don't know, whatever it is, she is very grateful from the bottom of her heart.

"Can you walk?"

"Ahh, I just fell and my leg was not injured," she replied with a faint smile and started walking again.

Creek ...

the sound of objects being trampled on made her stop walking, Fu Xie Lan felt something lumpy being under the soles of her feet. Quickly she lifted her leg and returned to find a scroll of white cloth.

Looking at the scroll, she did not immediately pick it up but looked around to find something that could be a clue to her. Wan Lie also did the same.

It lasted a few seconds then one of her hands grabbed the cloth.

Again, she found an inscription there.

"IF YOU WANT TO OPEN THE SEAL ON YOUR BODY, LOOK FOR THE RUBY STAR STONE WITH EIGHT SPOTS OF LIGHT AT EACH END AND BRING IT ETERNAL SNOW MOUNTAIN BEFORE SILVER BLOOD MOON HAPPENS. IF IT IS TOO LATE THEN YOU OR THE SOUL IN YOUR BODY WILL DIE AND BECOME A DEVOID."

"WE ARE WAITING FOR YOU."

Fu Xie Lan read it with one breath, obviously, Wan Lie also heard it. After the last sentence was said, the tip of the cloth slowly turned into a very hard and cracked paper and then crumbled to the ground. However, just before all the surface of the cloth changed, an inscription appeared again.

"DON'T GET DEAD BECAUSE THE WORLD NEEDS YOU!"

And finally, the cloth was destroyed and scattered on the ground.

Fu Xie Lan who was watching everything was stunned for a moment.

What is this again?

Is that message for her?

Immediately she reached into her trouser pocket and pulled out the cloth tying the arrow shaft which had almost hit her a moment ago.

"The writing is different," she muttered faintly. The person sending the message to her was a different person. But who? She didn't even understand herself and things had become very confusing to her.

Wan Lie who was standing next to her clenched his fists tightly without Fu Xie Lan noticing.

"Don't worry Mom, I will take care of you."

"Mmm."

"Ssshh, the night air will get colder, let's hurry," said Fu Xie Lan after putting the cloth back in her pocket. You could see her hand occasionally rubbing her arm, even though it was only time to enter the night, and the air temperature was this cold.

The two of them hurried again, quickening their steps a little so that they could quickly reach the Academy.
