Suddenly, a tall black shadow rushed out from the fork. As it ran, it reached out to take off its belt. Just as it was about to pee, it looked up and saw a girl’s face that was grayish-blue from the light of the Night-Luminescent Pearl. It immediately screamed—
“Ghost!”
The 12 students also exclaimed—
“Ghost!”
It was ridiculous that a group of Supreme Masters was afraid of ghosts.
Hearing this scream, Kunlun suddenly calmed down. “It’s a person?” Kunlun hurriedly tied its belt again and stared at the 12 people carefully. At this moment, the students also recognized Kunlun.
“It’s the big baboon Yu Huang brought back!”
“We’ve gathered!”
Recognizing Kunlun, the students immediately revealed looks of joy.
Hearing the commotion, Yu Huang and the others, who were not far behind Kunlun, quickened their pace and walked over. The two teams met at a narrow corner.
“Yu Huang, Sheng Xiao, Donor, Feng Yuncheng, are you all okay?” Rossi looked at them worriedly. Her gaze lingered on Sheng Xiao’s face for a few seconds.
Yu Huang stood in front of Sheng Xiao calmly and blocked Rossi’s gaze. Then, she said coldly, “We’re fine. You guys, on the other hand, will be trapped in this underground world if you continue.”
Hearing this, Rossi immediately blushed and was embarrassed to look Yu Huang in the eye.
Sheng Xiao was a rare genius with both looks and strength. Many women among the students secretly admired him. Unfortunately, he got married early on and found an equally matched genius. Rossi felt guilty when she thought about how they couldn’t even walk out of the underground tunnel and still needed Yu Huang to save them.
“I’m really ashamed. Every passageway in the underground world looks the same. The water will rise every night. After the footprints are washed away, we can’t even return the way we came. Only then did we get further and further away.” Rossi bit her lip and lowered her head to apologize.
Yu Huang ignored Rossi and saw a familiar student in the team. She asked the girl, “Jiajia, have you seen Estelle?”
Long Jiajia was from the Ice Domain Continent and was on good terms with Yin Rong. She didn’t participate in the siege against Sheng Xiao. That was why Yu Huang talked to her.
Long Jiajia was a petite girl. When she saw that Yu Huang had actually taken the initiative to talk to her, she was momentarily excited, and her face instantly flushed. Long Jiajia hurriedly walked over from behind and stood in front of Yu Huang. She explained gently, “About three days ago, Estelle suddenly wanted to relieve himself, so he went to another fork. We wanted to wait for Estelle to leave with us, but Ilan and the others went to look for Estelle. They said that Estelle decided to go back alone to look for you guys.”
“And we thought that Estelle was close to you guys and probably didn’t want to travel with us, so we didn’t bother with him anymore.”
Estelle was dark and ugly. He was also poor and ignorant. To be honest, no one in the team talked to him. No one cared if he was there or not.
Yu Huang looked at Long Jiajia deeply. She didn’t believe that Long Jiajia and the others didn’t know how deep the racial conflict between the Night Elves and the Light Elves was. She also didn’t believe that Long Jiajia and the others would really believe their words after hearing their explanation.
They were just like the Light Elves, relying on their noble status and fair skin to look down on Estelle.
Therefore, even if they knew that Ilan was lying, they wouldn’t pursue the matter.
Because they looked down on him, they chose to ignore him.
But didn’t this make them accomplices in helping the Light Elves hurt Estelle?
This reminded Yu Huang of that sentence again.
When there was an avalanche, not a single snowflake was innocent.
“Where’s Ilan and the others?” Sheng Xiao asked again.
Perhaps it was because Sheng Xiao’s expression was too serious and his gaze was too cold, but when Long Jiajia replied, her tone was even more careful and uneasy. “Not long after Estelle left, Illan and the others quarreled with us. They thought that we had taken the wrong path and parted ways with us.”
And no one cared if Illan and the others wanted to find their way alone or deal with Estelle.
Donor suddenly laughed ambiguously. “It seems that they’re all a bunch of selfish good-for-nothings who only want to protect themselves.” Donor was mocking Long Jiajia, Rossi, and the others for their indifference.
Donor raised his head and said to Yu Huang, “Yu Huang, these are a group of cold and selfish people. There’s no need for us to send them to the exit, right?”
Hearing this, Rossi and the others immediately looked awkward.
Long Jiajia looked at Yu Huang timidly and bit her rosy lips. She didn’t dare to speak, nor did she have the nerve to ask Yu Huang to send them out.
Without Yu Huang’s guidance, it was very difficult for them to leave this underground world that extended in all directions.
Yu Huang had never been a kind person. After she found out about this group of people’s cold attitude towards Estelle, she lost interest in saving them. Yu Huang turned around and leaned against the stone wall, giving the passageway to this group of students. She said, “Everyone is older than me and has a higher cultivation level than me. I think that you’re all smart people and will know how to get out on your own.”
“Then, let’s split up.” Yu Huang called Kunlun and Sheng Xiao. “Let’s look for Estelle.”
Seeing that Yu Huang had really abandoned them, Rossi stomped her feet and couldn’t help but curse with a resentful expression, “What kind of person is she? She’s so arrogant just because she was born into a good family and married a good man. To think that her father was a hero who sacrificed himself to save the world! Look at her. She’s a cold and heartless woman!”
