Chapter 359 - 359. I Lied.
A broken cobweb in the middle of the door indicates that someone has opened the door, and it happened recently.
Fu Xie Lan believed that.
Reflexively she looked to the right, scanning the area over there without any obstructions. If she is not mistaken, the corner of her eye caught the silhouette of a person moving there.
'Hao, did you see it?' Fu Xie Lan asked her Magic beast spirit.
'I didn't see anything, miss,' Hao replied that second.
Another deep sigh escaped from Fu Xie Lan's lips.
"What's wrong Xie Lan?" Xue Ning asked when she saw the change in the girl's expression.
"Ah, it's fine," Fu Xie Lan replied turning her gaze towards the girl. She was very sure what she saw earlier was not just her feelings.
"Perhaps what you say is true, someone is treasonous within this City," said Fu Xie Lan raising her voice, hoping that the figure hiding not far from her heard all of her words.
"This gate is protected by magic, so there's no way anyone can get through it," she added still in the same tone of voice.
Those who heard it were a little confused, as this was the first time they had heard Fu Xie Lan speak in such a tone of voice.
However, Elder Huang Bao and the others simply skipped it without asking about it.
"We'd better leave this place," said Fu Xie Lan again and started to walk away from the gate.
"Eh, that fast?" Xue Ning asked in surprise. They had just arrived at this place, and not even five minutes later, Fu Xie Lan had already decided to return.
After saying that, Xue Ning immediately caught up with those who had left her alone without answering her questions, except for Xue Ying, who was always right behind the girl.
Far away from the forbidden place, Wan Lie walked ahead of the others, seemingly trying to match his position with Fu Xie Lan.
"Xie Lan, did something happen?" the man asked in a slightly low voice.
Turning to the source of the voice, Fu Xie Lan did not give any response. Just stared into Wan Lie's eyes as if she was contemplating whether or not to tell him what she saw.
"If it's like this, then someone will have to go to the City Master and tell her everything," Xue Ning suddenly spoke up.
They all looked at each other. "Who? I want to go with Fu Xie Lan. No one can stop me," the girl said again when she saw Wan Lie and Ju Xian's gaze turned to her.
"Regarding that, don't worry. Once you guys enter Vampire territory. I will pass this on to her," said Elder Huang Bao understanding what they all meant.
"Although we can't prove the truth, being prepared before something happens again is not a bad thing to do," he added.
Fu Xie Lan who heard their conversation immediately stopped her steps, and of course, the others followed.
"There's no need to do that, Master," said Fu Xie Lan looking in the direction the old man was.
"Huh?"
"What do you mean, kid?" asked Elder Huang Bao.
The girl's Violet eyes flashed and scanned the surroundings with a glance, when she felt safe, then Fu Xie Lan started to speak.
"You should know that everything I said at the gate was not true," he said in a low, half-whispered voice.
"Eh?" Everyone's brows furrowed faintly, confused and hard to digest Fu Xie Lan's words.
"This mess was not at all the work of those we call traitors," added the girl again.
"They entered Kanca City without anyone's help," she said again.
"Not that you said that they..."
"I lied," said Fu Xie Lan, cutting off Xue Ning's unfinished speech.
Everyone was getting more and more confused, especially Elder Huang Bao.
Seeing their expressions one by one, Fu Xie Lan cleared her throat softly.
She then recounted everything she had seen at the gate, from a broken cobweb to when the corner of her eye saw over a person's silhouette.
Hearing Fu Xie Lan's explanation, for some reason they sounded like they were holding their breath involuntarily.
"That means that someone was in that place before?" Xue Ning asked very curiously.
Fu Xie Lan just nodded.
"But, how did they get through the magic at the gate? Even you almost got hurt because of it," Xue Ning said as if to represent their question.
"That's not impossible, they are even capable of making someone have the power of a monster that absorbs other people's mana," replied Fu Xie Lan.
Yes, what the girl said was true. The figure they fought yesterday was truly terrifying and had already taken a toll.
"As for how they got through the gate, don't ask me. I don't know either," said Fu Xie Lan.
Hearing all the words of the girl, It turns out that since setting foot in the forbidden area, they are being followed and monitored by someone who they don't even know where they are.
"So how?" asked Xue Ning.
"Now that we know the place they used to enter this City, does that mean Elder Huang Bao will still report it to the City Master we know how much they hate that place," Xue Ning replied at length?
"Of course you idiot. You think this is all a joke?"
"Of course, Elder Huang Bao must report everything to the City Master for follow-up," Wan Lie replied.
"Alright, you two stop. How long are you guys going to keep fussing like this?" rebuked Elder Huang Bao.
"I'm sorry, Elder," Xue Ning said immediately.
As for Wan Lie, the man just squeaked in disapproval.
There was silence again, no one said a word. They seemed lost in their thoughts.
"Why do you think they messed up in this City?" Ju Xian said as everyone fell silent.
The reflex of all eyes turned to the man.
Xue Ning and the others just shrugged their shoulders. And then turned their gazes towards Fu Xie Lan, as if waiting for the girl's response.
"The reason they messed up in this City?" asked Fu Xie Lan.
The girl was silent for a moment thinking about it. if only Ju Xian didn't ask then maybe she would have missed this small thing.
"Kanca City is a place where all races gather," said Fu Xie Lan slowly.
"If this city is destroyed, what do you think will happen?" she asked back.
"Perhaps it will be closed until restoration and rebuilding is complete?" replied Ju Xian responded quickly.
