Chapter 38: An Old Acquaintance
On the square, Jing Wu’s eyes moved, and the previous turbidity was replaced by alertness.
He slowly raised his head and found that Hui Yuan was no longer in front of him. Even the dream monster had disappeared without a trace. Only Kong Miao smiled at him in relief.
Had he defeated his inner demon? Jing Wu didn’t know. His body seemed lighter but his heart still ached.
Jing Wu folded his hands together and bowed to Kong Miao. “Thank you for your guidance.”
Kong Miao said with a smile, “You shouldn’t thank me. It’s Master Jing who illumined you.”
Jing Wu instantly understood that the last call of ‘Shifu’ came from the patriarch of Frostcloud Sect, so he quickly showed his appreciation.
Jing Yue merely smiled in response. One must not speak too much when showing off.
Jing Wu’s matter was solved. Everyone didn’t know what to say and the venue fell silent for a while. But new questions also emerged. When did Kong Miao learn about the existence of the dream monster? Why wasn’t it resolved as soon as possible, instead of playing dead and creating the chaos today?
Kong Miao seemed to have guessed everyone’s thoughts and slowly recounted the tale.
