The Indomitable Master of Elixirs
chapter-499

The ancient dragon opened its mouth wide and a snow white figure was thrown before Ji Fengyan.

“I have found this fellow back for you,” the ancient dragon looked at Ji Fengyan arrogantly and used its nose to push Bai Ze slightly.

At the start of the battle, Bai Ze hid in a safe spot by Ji Fengyan. The ancient dragon saw Ji Fengyan at the martial arts arena previously and could not squeeze in there, so it held in Bai Ze in its mouth out of boredom.

Seeing Bai Ze covered in the dragon’s saliva, Ji Fengyan felt like crying and laughing.

Bai Ze shook away the saliva on its body. It opened its teary big eyes and walked towards Ji Fengyan and rubbed itself against Ji Fengyan’s leg.

“It has been hard on you today.” Ji Fengyan looked up at the ancient dragon.

The ancient dragon grunted, “I am not helping you for free. Don’t forget what you have previously promised me.”

Ji Fengyan was slightly stunned, then laughed softly. “I won’t forget. I am a person of my words.”

The ancient dragon then nodded satisfied.

Ji Fengyan wiped the saliva on Bai Ze’s body dry, then turned to look at Xing Lou, who was standing behind her.

That incident at the restaurant made her fear so much Xing Lou that she wanted to avoid him. Originally, after coming to the capital institute, she thought that they would not meet for three to five years, who had expected… things were just this unexpected.

“I still have some things on, so I shall not go with you guys. This time… thank you…” Ji Fengyan took a deep breath in and tried to force herself to face Xing Lou peacefully.

Xing Lou’s good-looking face was filled with a doubtful expression.

“What other things do you have?”

Ji Fengyan laughed and said, “I will look for someone.”

Ji Fengyan did not want to reveal Liu Huo’s identity and spoke vaguely.

However, Ji Fengyan’s ambiguity was very clear to Xing Lou. He looked straight at Ji Fengyan. even though she had concealed it naturally, he could still sense the faint rejection she had.

The rejection for the grand tutor Xing Lou.

After staying silent for a long time, Xing Lou slowly said, “Sure.”

Ji Fengyan secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

To be honest, she really did not know how to interact with Xing Lou.

Ji Fengyan carried Bai Ze onto the ancient dragon and waved at Xing Lou. Then, she flew quickly out of the devastated capital institute on the dragon.

On the other hand, Xing Lou stood on the spot as he watched Ji Fengyan’s figure gradually disappear before his eyes.

Only after the huge dragon body disappear from the sky, then did he keep his gaze.

The dark guard walked to Xing Lou’s side.

“Master, everyone is ready, can we set off now?”

Xing Lou did not respond immediately. He knew that Ji Fengyan had gone to look for “Liu Huo”. The Liu Huo who had been staying in the village under the mountain all along…

But she did not know that Liu Huo would only stay in that village on days that she had come down from the mountain.

When the demon clan attacked, Liu Huo was completely not in that village.

“Dark guard,” Xing Lou finally spoke.

The dark guard lifted his head.

“I’ll leave these to you,” Xing Lou said simply.

The dark guard was slightly stunned but very quickly, he returned to normal. He lowered his head and said, “I shall obey your commands.”

A light breeze blew and when the dark guard lifted his head again, there was no longer any sight of Xing Lou.
