Chapter 156: Have you ever been in love?
To cover the quarter mile distance to the cliff island was scary and fun experience at the same time.
After Lee and Xiao Lian carried the catamaran to the water, they were pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t that hard to leave the shore, except it went slower than expected.
They each sat at their own side and energetically paddled, trying to get through the waves, immediately getting wet all over. The water was cold and refreshing, but it looked like the crude catamaran will hold.
Neither of the boys know anything about seafaring, but it seemed that they had picked the wrong time of the day to start their short journey. Or maybe the current they were fighting against was this strong throughout the day, they had no clue.
In the end, a quarter mile is not that big of a distance and their vessel was small enough to be easily navigated towards the small beach below the cliff. The maritime adventure was short, but they were more tired than battling dreadtalons for a whole day.
Nevertheless, after pulling catamaran to a safe spot, Xiao Lian immediately began to climb the cliff.
It wasn’t hard to guess the fool in love was driven by an urge to leave impression on Qin Yujian. Lee wasn’t sure what exactly the guy was about to do, but they had stacked up enough food and fresh water for them to last till the end of the survival training, and he intended to use the time to cultivate.
After spending over a year in the library, Lee hadn’t found any cultivation techniques that could work with his peculiar condition. It was possible that those were more advanced, or maybe an elder could suggest something if he asked.
But to not jeopardize his future prospects he never divulged the fact that he had a couple of sparks. After spending so much time together with Xiao Lian, it was highly likely Lee’s friend had some kind of suspicions – one couldn’t simply shake off the part of Lee recovering from serious injuries overnight as a joke.
Xiao Lian might be naive, but he wasn’t a fool, thus Lee didn’t try to make up a random fake story.
Fortunately Xiao Lian never directly asked Lee about his condition, and the latter never mentioned it. Of course, Lee understood it was impossible to keep this secret forever, thus the main objective was to quickly increase his strength, deal with Victoria and afterwards slave this particular life away in the library.
