Chapter 864 - Opening of the Domain, Bristleback Dragon (2)
“Yes, Elder Qing Hong!” Those who followed Qing Hong over today immediately circled around the group. They’ve already learned from the last time they gathered and wouldn’t want anything to go wrong during the arrest.
……
After leaving the gathering behind, Bai Yan didn’t even need to step onto the Holy Island before her eyes fell upon her big shifu Zheng Qi waiting at the doorway.
Slightly wrinkling her brows: “Big Shifu, why are you waiting at my cabin?”
“Is the examination test over?” Zheng Qi asks with a meaningful light in those old eyes.
Giving a gentle nod of affirmation: “Yes Shifu, I’ve just finished over there.”
“That’s great!” The senior issues a long sigh, “The Lord tasked me to come tell you that the portal to the main domain is now open and ready for use. But before you head out, I must remind you the real Holy Domain is vastly more dangerous than the mini one you experienced before. Do be careful.”
In actual fact, not even Zheng Qi himself knew what exactly lies within that mysterious place. The only thing he does know though was how everyone who enters it would die each and every single time. Ten out of ten, all of them never returned aside from being a corpse!
“I see.” Bai Yan’s face lit up, her hand patting the concerned old senior in assurance. “Don’t worry, I’ll be all right so don’t fret too much. During this period while I’m away, do make sure to practice your alchemy. I don’t want to see any slacking! Otherwise…” Narrowing her eyes into a slit, Bai Yan’s iris grew somehow dangerous and threatening.
Making an awkward laugh in return, Zheng Qi coughs twice to clear his own throat: “Don’t look down at your shifu here so much, only your third shifu is a slacker!”
Needing no more words, Bai Yan was pretty much finished here as well and turned away for the Lord’s living quarter.
Towards the departing back of that reddish figure, Chu Yi Yi couldn’t stop making a worried face: “Grandpa Zheng Qi, is she really going to be alright? I don’t understand why Pa would agree to having her enter such a dangerous place….”
Unable to hide his own worries as well: “The Lord said it before, perhaps…. she will be the only one to come out of there alive. We must believe in Yan Yan because her existence is a miracle in it itself.”
Ever since the three of them brothers picked up this lass from the outside, he already knew the girl wouldn’t be average. A souring dragon, that’s his opinion of Bai Yan’s future.
Biting her lower lip: “If Bai Yan really don’t come back then I will cut off my connection with Pa! Me and Brother will leave this place and never return, that’ll show him for letting Bai Yan know about the main Holy Domain and letting her go in!”
Zheng Qi makes a long heavy sigh at the princess’s willful remark. Although his words showed trust and confidence, but that old heart of his also didn’t want the only disciple he had to leave for such a dangerous place either.
“This is Yan Yan’s own choice. We cannot get in the way of this child’s decision.” Making a bittersweet face, “Come Princess, it shouldn’t be that long before she comes back out anyways so let’s go over to the Lord’s place and wait.”
Unlike the real world, the time frame inside the Holy Domain moves at an expedited pace. One month out here would equal to one year inside.
