Chapter 164: A Lead Appears
The one who burst in was Xi Teng. He seemed to have rushed over in a hurry, even using a spell for speed, but as soon as he entered the room, he couldn’t stop himself in time and nearly crashed headfirst into Yun Jiao.
Startled, Yun Jiao instinctively tried to dodge — but something else reacted faster than she did.
With a thunk, something flew past her and struck Xi Teng squarely in the face.
Though he was a ghostly soul without a physical body, Xi Teng felt as if his entire spirit had been slammed into. His form flew backward and smacked against the wall with a loud thud.
A round object slid down his face and rolled across the floor — a half-green, half-red fruit. But despite its harmless look, his face felt like it had been dented in.
The three others: “…”
They all slowly turned toward the person with a dark expression — the one who had just thrown the fruit.
Well… perhaps they should be thankful Xi Teng was a ghost. Otherwise, someone might have had to dig him out of the wall.
Xi Teng clutched the spot where he’d been hit, now sporting a huge black eye, and floated back down. Only then did he realize who was standing beside Yun Jiao — the man radiating an icy aura.
