Lingfeng looked at Monkey Head with a wry smile. Monkey Head's previously shrewd eyes suddenly turned innocent, looking pitifully at Lingfeng, saying, "Did I do something wrong? I'm sorry, I won't dare again in the future!"
Lingfeng was taken aback, not expecting Monkey Head to be so good at comforting others. He couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, but maintained a serious expression on his face. "Where will there be a next time? We don't even know when we'll meet again." He felt a bit melancholic. Since arriving at Demon Suppression Sect, he had initially gotten close to Zhi Lian, but due to Zhi Lian's numerous issues, he hardly had time to spend with him. Later, he met Monkey Head, and aside from Enchanting, Monkey Head truly became his confidant. Thinking about his good buddy leaving soon made Lingfeng feel sad.
Monkey Head stopped smiling, realizing that Lingfeng was feeling emotional. He sat down beside Lingfeng and comforted him, saying, "Buddy, it takes a hundred years of cultivation to share a boat and a thousand years to share a bed. Don't worry, our bond isn't over yet; there will naturally be plenty of opportunities for us to meet!"
"Haha, what kind of nonsense metaphor is that?" Lingfeng suddenly burst into laughter.
Monkey Head patted Lingfeng's shoulder like a true friend and said more relaxedly, "That's right! A laugh can make you ten years younger. I'm leaving now; you can't be crying like a widow. Besides, when I have money in the future, I'll definitely bring you to my place. At that time, as long as you’re willing, I’ll take care of you. How about that?"
Lingfeng let out a strange cry and quickly covered his chest with both hands in mock horror, saying, "I'm a pure man! Even if I agreed to you taking care of me, Enchanting wouldn't agree. And even if Enchanting did agree, I'd still be afraid that Lili wouldn't let me off!" With that, the two burst into laughter.
Their laughter echoed freely throughout the dormitory. It was genuine laughter, the kind that only true friends or confidants could share.
Before they knew it, night had fallen thickly.
To avoid being discovered by others, Monkey Head packed his belongings but still made sure his bed was neatly arranged. While no one had returned yet, Lingfeng used Earth Escape Technique and left Wood Peak with Monkey Head.
After walking for a while, they hid in the trees along the path down the mountain. The darkness concealed them well and wouldn’t attract the attention of patrolling disciples.
As night fully descended, Lingfeng signaled and grabbed Monkey Head's shoulder while chanting an incantation. A beam of light shot out from the forest and disappeared in an instant.
The night was eerily quiet. Occasionally, the hooting of an owl echoed through Demon Suppression Mountain.
On such a night, no one would notice that two people were swiftly making their way down the commonly traveled path below.
Monkey Head held onto Lingfeng tightly; he wanted to open his eyes but didn’t dare to and could only make muffled sounds.
Lingfeng looked back and saw Monkey Head with a feminine appearance, which made him chuckle. However, he tightened his grip, reassuring Monkey Head.
"You don't need to keep your eyes closed. The Earth Escape Technique just creates a hole underground. We have Spiritual Energy protecting us, so there's no need to fear anything harming us!" Lingfeng said.
Monkey Head was skeptical but slowly opened his eyes, and indeed felt nothing. He only saw a dim area ahead, resembling a bottomless cave. However, a soft white light surrounded both him and Lingfeng, illuminating their faces.
After walking for about twenty more miles, Lingfeng thought they must have exited Demon Suppression Mountain, so he stopped and poked his head out of the ground. It was quiet outside, surrounded by trees, with no lights in sight. Lingfeng knew they had successfully left Demon Suppression Mountain.
He then cast another Spell to bring Monkey Head to the surface.
Monkey Head adjusted the crescent-shaped steel knife that Lingfeng had given him and tightened his bundle, seeming somewhat hesitant about continuing on.
Lingfeng paused for a moment before finally asking, "When will we be able to meet again?"
Monkey Head smiled lightly and replied, "If fate allows, we will meet again!"
"Right, if fate allows, we will meet again!" Lingfeng echoed Monkey Head's words calmly.
"By the way!" Monkey Head said, "Brother, I need to ask you for a favor."
"Go ahead."
"Please take good care of Lili. When we meet again in the future, I will thank you!" Monkey Head's tone was serious.
Lingfeng chuckled suddenly, feeling that both of them were being too serious; the atmosphere seemed off. He joked, "Alright then, remember, you owe me a favor."
Monkey Head nodded heavily, reorganized his belongings once more before slowly turning to leave.
Monkey Head left, leaving Lingfeng standing alone in the quiet and deep night.
Watching Monkey Head's disappearing figure, Lingfeng suddenly felt a surge of emotions. Now, only Enchanting remained by his side; would she also leave him? Lingfeng couldn't bear to imagine what it would be like to wander alone in this unfamiliar world.
Suddenly, he felt a sense of hatred towards Azure Vine, Monkey Head, and all those who had left him one by one.
For some reason, Lingfeng felt his heart filled with rage. It even surpassed his rationality; he sensed his body heating up, not just from anger, but a kind of heat he had never experienced before.
Suddenly, the entire night in his vision turned purple, and everything around him began to become clear.
Lingfeng shivered; he suddenly felt this was an ominous premonition. His rationality quickly returned, and that unusual sensation in his body faded away.
"What happened to me?" Lingfeng shook his head vigorously, trying hard to remain calm. This sudden phenomenon was something he had never felt before. He then recited a spell and vanished from the spot.
In fact, he did not know that just as his anger surged, a purple protective membrane had appeared around him again. But as he regained his composure, that purple protective membrane also disappeared.
Returning to Water Peak, Lingfeng took a deep breath and gently approached Enchanting's room.
The light was still on in Enchanting's room, and he could hear the voices of two girls inside—Enchanting and Lili.
Lingfeng chuckled softly; instead of knocking directly on the door, he recited a spell and burrowed in from below.
Lili sat at the wooden table with red-rimmed eyes, clearly still struggling with Monkey Head's departure. Enchanting sat beside her, gently patting her back and softly comforting her, "Don't cry anymore, Lili. Once we are ready for our journey, I will take you to find Monkey Head.
Lili was still sobbing and said, "Senior Sister, our magical powers are not deep enough. If we want to successfully graduate, our abilities must reach the level of retrieving items from the air."
Retrieving items from the air means being able to obtain what one needs from the atmosphere. For example, at Water Peak, the Water Control Spell they were learning required water.
Currently, their cultivation allowed them to cast spells only when water was present. During the trials in the Demon Cave, they were not allowed to bring water with them. This meant that to pass the test, they had to find a way to extract moisture from the air.
It is well known that there are water molecules in the air. Although these molecules are sparse and difficult to collect, disciples of Water Peak who learned the advanced Mind Method could gather water from the air, killing enemies without a trace.
However, this Mind Method was extremely difficult to master. Some disciples who could not learn it would have to remain at the Demon Suppression Sect. This way, they could guard the place and avoid being killed due to their lack of strength.
Enchanting smiled brightly and said softly, "That may not be the case!"
Lili frowned, seemingly not understanding what Enchanting meant. Just as she was about to ask, a boy's voice suddenly came from behind.
"If you can't pass the trial, you still have me as your land elder!" It was Lingfeng.
The two turned around to see Lingfeng lying on the bed.
Enchanting scolded him lightly and went up to hit his leg, saying, "Get up, get up! Quickly report the situation and then hurry up!"
Lingfeng knew she was angry because of Bai's matter but still got up. "I've already sent Monkey Head out; he should be about forty or fifty miles away by now!" Although Monkey Head couldn't fly with a sword, he could use Lightness Skill. Traveling forty or fifty miles in a short time wasn't difficult at all.
Lili sighed in relief, and tears streamed down her face again.
Reluctantly, Enchanting signaled Lingfeng with her eyes. Lingfeng hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, saying, "Don't cry; there's no need to worry about not seeing Monkey Head. Before graduation, just focus on your cultivation. If you can reach the level of retrieving items from the air, that would be great. If you can't do it and fail to pass through the Demon Cave, I will naturally help you!"
Lili looked gratefully at Lingfeng, as if recalling something, and asked in confusion, "I've been with Monkey Head for such a long time, yet I've never heard him mention any family. But this time he suddenly wants to go home. What could have happened there?"
Lingfeng also felt puzzled. Given their relationship, it seemed unlikely that privacy would be so important to him.
Enchanting waved her hand and glanced at Lingfeng, saying, "What's the big deal? Lingfeng doesn't know my background either. Besides, if he doesn't want to tell us, maybe it's because he doesn't want us to worry about him!"
Lingfeng smiled wryly but felt that Enchanting had a point, so he said nothing further.
After a moment of silence, Lingfeng began to fidget. He shifted his body, blinked a few times, and cleared his throat lightly, yet remained silent.
Lili seemed to be deep in thought. With Lingfeng's movements distracting her, she softly asked, "Shixu, is there something on your mind?"
"Oh, oh, no... nothing!" In truth, there was something; he wanted Lili to leave quickly so he could apologize to Enchanting.
Enchanting chuckled quietly; she knew exactly what Lingfeng was thinking. She was just teasing him. She casually picked up the teapot and gently poured a cup of tea for Lili, then poured one for herself and took a light sip.
Seeing that there was no tea for him, Lingfeng felt a bit awkward and coughed lightly before pouring himself a cup.
Lili noticed Enchanting's actions and curiously asked, "Did you two have some kind of disagreement?"
