“I understand, but Zhao Manyan is different; I don’t care about him, but I can’t risk putting you in danger!” Mo Fan immediately spilled the beans.

If Zhao Manyan in his bed heard those words, his missing soul would come straight away to teach Mo Fan a lesson. Why would he befriend such scum!?

“Let’s not waste our time. Tell her, or else we’re just a bunch of headless flies,” said Mu Ningxue.

Mo Fan tried to convince Mu Ningxue, yet she insisted on doing do it her way. “I don’t want anything to happen to you!” he blurted out.

“If you really think that, then do your best to help Zhao Manyan and I recover if anything happens, instead of saying that here,” replied Mu Ningxue seriously.

Her gaze was determined and fearless; she had been mentally prepared since she first embarked on this journey. She had no intention of running away.

“Do you really trust me so much?” Mo Fan’s gaze softened.

Mu Ningxue did not reply. She had no idea how to answer Mo Fan’s question.

If she answered yes, Mo Fan would totally misunderstand her, yet the truth was, Mu Ningxue never doubted him. She believed if the same thing that happened to Zhao Manyan happened to her, he would give everything he had to help them recover.

What else could Mo Fan do after Mu Ningxue made her decision?

He returned to the slope where Miyata was still standing with her back toward them.

She turned around with the same innocent look. The truth was, Mo Fan was hoping that she would be wearing the rotten, terrifying face of a demon creature when she turned around. That way, Mo Fan could simply fight her instead of telling her Mu Ningxue’s name!

Mo Fan never thought the situation would be this complicated. Not only was his friend in danger, he also had to place someone he cared a lot about in danger.

“Her name is Mu Ningxue,” said Mo Fan.

For some reason, Mo Fan regretted as soon as he said the name.

He could sense Miyata smiling, it was an evil grin under her innocent look. It was most likely her true appearance.

However, Mo Fan knew it was meaningless to threaten her by saying something like, “If you dare harm her, I’ll tear you into pieces.” Just saying it would not help in any way, it was more important to keep his promise.

“Alright, I’ll look around at the back of the mountain. Perhaps I can find the cure to the strange disease,” said Miyata with a faint smile. She even gave Mo Fan a slight bow.

“Wait, how am I going to… find you?” blurted out Mo Fan.

Miyata disappeared before Mo Fan could finish, leaving only the patches of wild chrysanthemums swaying slightly to the wind on the slope, releasing a fragrance similar to Miyata’s into the air…

“Did she leave?” asked Mu Ningxue.

“Mm, I think she’s the one,” said Mo Fan worriedly.

He had to stick to Mu Ningxue closely from now onward. Zhao Manyan had most likely lost his soul since he was unable to see Miyata. However, since Mo Fan could see her, he could catch her red-handed if she tried to harm Mu Ningxue!

“It’s useless to discuss it here, let’s head back,” said Mu Ningxue.

“Aren’t you scared?” asked Mo Fan.

“I’m fine…”

“Is it because you believe that I definitely can save you?” asked Mo Fan.

“You’re being annoying.”

Mu Ningxue and Mo Fan returned to the room where everyone was staying in to check out Zhao Manyan’s condition.

Zhao Manyan was still the same, with Nan Rongni looking after him. The girl was using the Healing Element to maintain his body temperature, and prevent the cold from affecting his body.

Mo Fan touched Zhao Manyan’s head and immediately felt the chill. It was below the acceptable body temperature for human. His life would be at risk if he was not a Magician.

“Nan Rongni, I’m sleeping with Mu Ningxue tonight,” said Mo Fan.

Nan Rongni’s eyes widened slightly before she nodded shyly and said, “Alright, I’ll sleep with Nanyu…”

“Did you really have to say that?” snapped Mu Ningxue after hearing Mo Fan’s words.

“I have to look after you!” Mo Fan did not think he had said anything wrong.

Everyone needed some rest. They had no choice but to leave everything until the next morning. Their best option was to look for the monks who had left for some kind of ritual. They would surely know something about Zhao Manyan’s condition. Even if they could not find the monks, they could ask the nearby residents for more information. It was difficult to gather information when everyone was fast asleep.

“Nan Rongni, please don’t take it wrongly…” Mu Ningxue knew Mo Fan would not leave her. She quickly explained the situation to Nan Rongni.

Nan Rongni agreed with Mu Ningxue’s approach. If even she, a Healer had no clue how to deal with the strange disease, the only way left was to find its source.

“Why don’t we all stay up for the night and look after Mu Ningxue?” suggested Nan Rongni.

A while later, everyone had gathered back in the room.

Jiang Shaoxu and Jiang Yu had returned too. It was quite late when they went down the mountain, thus they could not find the owner of the izakaya. They simply grabbed people on the streets, yet none of them knew anything about the temple. As such, they had no choice but to wait until tomorrow.

The other groups had already gone through the temple a few times, yet they had failed to find any clues. The only place left was the back of the mountain, but since the woods were currently pitch-black, they still had to wait until morning to investigate.

“You asshole, how could you place Mu Ningxue in danger? You’re the reason all of this is happening!” Gong Yu went into a frenzy when he heard Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue’s plan.

In Gong Yu’s eyes, he was Mu Ningxue’s escort. How could she risk her life without his permission?

“Just piss off if you don’t want to help. No one needs to listen to your barking anyway,” shot back Mo Fan.

Gong Yu was about to scold back when he was stopped by Ai Jiangtu.

“Enough! Mu Ningxue has already agreed with the plan. Let’s wait for now. Mo Fan, you look after her. The rest should get some sleep. Everyone must be tired, too. We must rest up if we want to overcome this problem,” said Ai Jiangtu.

“No way, I don’t think Mo Fan alone can look after Mu Ningxue,” said Gong Yu.

“Then you two will guard her tonight,” said Ai Jiangtu.
