Chapter 814: Forest Assassination 5

Unexpectedly, after Su Luo had walked for a while, she spotted Zi Yan's figure.

"Why are you following me?" Su Luo frowned.

"Who's following you? Did I say where I was going?" Zi Yan replied stubbornly.

"Then where are you planning to go now?"

Zi Yan glanced around casually and pointed at the faint trail that had been trodden out. "Following this trail is easy."

Su Luo was speechless.

The trail in the grass was clearly the one she had made.

"If you want to come with me, just say so. Don't be so awkward."

"Who wants to go with you? I'm just… just…"

"You're not lost, are you? Didn't you come from Purgatory City?" Su Luo's eyes widened upon hearing this.

Zi Yan glared back fiercely. "Who says everyone from Purgatory City is an expert at directions? I just happen to be bad with directions, so what?"

"So you're following me because you want me to lead you out?" Su Luo's bright eyes twinkled.

Zi Yan nodded reluctantly.

Su Luo immediately laughed, her smile as brilliant as summer flowers. She patted Zi Yan's slender shoulder and sighed earnestly, "Girl, you've followed the wrong person, because I… am also lost."

"Ah?" Zi Yan looked at Su Luo in a daze.

Su Luo nodded solemnly and said with a straight face, "I'm really lost."

"Pfft." The two looked at each other and actually burst out laughing.

In the end, they were laughing uproariously.

Both were people of genuine character; as kindred spirits, their friendship drew closer in that moment of shared laughter.

After finally stopping their laughter, the two exchanged names.

Zi Yan spread her hands. "What now? Where is your destination?"

Having finally met a girl who suited her taste, Zi Yan decided to stick with Su Luo for the time being.

"I'm heading to the Southeast Grand Canyon; I need to find something there."

"Southeast Grand Canyon…" Zi Yan rubbed her chin thoughtfully.

"Fine, considering you saved my life, I'll painfully use this last Pathfinding Guide."

As she spoke, Zi Yan pulled a white Paper Crane from her sleeve.

It was definitely a Paper Crane folded from paper.

White and translucent, it was lifelike and vivid, looking just like a real one.

With the Paper Crane resting on her palm, Zi Yan blew a light breath onto it.

To Su Luo's surprise—

The Paper Crane suddenly became animated.

It blinked its eyes as if suddenly waking from a dream, and its two wings fluttered slightly.

Soon, it flapped its wings and took flight, quickly heading in one direction.

"Let's go, Southeast Grand Canyon." Zi Yan's figure was as fast as lightning as she immediately chased after the white Paper Crane.

She intended to test Su Luo's cultivation, so she started off at seventy percent of her speed.

On the surface, Su Luo appeared to only have fifth-rank strength.

However, what puzzled Zi Yan was that when the Man in Black's seventh-rank Peak palm print had slammed toward her earlier, even she couldn't withstand that thunderous power of heaven and earth.

Yet Su Luo had been able to withstand it.

Furthermore, she couldn't even kill that Man in Black herself, yet Su Luo had managed to kill him.

All of this indicated that her cultivation was definitely not as simple as the fifth rank.

Zi Yan intended to test the depths of Su Luo's abilities, so she increased her speed right from the start.

Su Luo, who had cultivated the Spirit Dance Steps to perfection, had always excelled in speed and agility.

In terms of attack power, she naturally couldn't compare to Zi Yan, but when it came to speed, it was hard to say.

A faint smile played at the corners of Su Luo's mouth.

Since coming to this continent, she had encountered either aloof and arrogant women like Li Yaoyao and Su Qing, or the unruly and domineering types like Su Xi.
