Chapter 38 - 38. Pury Test Location
Fu Xie Lan who saw Wan Lie's unusual movements frowned.
"What is wrong?" The girl's wet hoarse voice broke Wan Lie's attention
Wan Lie Trying to take another deep breath, nothing strange. The scent he had felt a few seconds ago disappeared, was it just the feeling? He then turned to face his mother and looked at his softly.
"Mom, we better get in."
"But what's wrong? Why is your attitude so weird?"
"I'm getting hot, Mom, let's go in," said Wan Lie to his mother. He felt very bad after the smell tickled his nose.
"Wan Lie ..."
"Is Mom very tired? Alright get on my back, I will carry you," Wan Lie then squatted right in front of his mother.
"What's the reason you keep helping me?" asked Fu Xie Lan suddenly.
Who was asked then turned around and faced his mother, "Do I need a special reason to help you?"
"No, I was just wondering. Why are you so nice to me while I never help or give you anything? You know, I still have a hard time digesting it all, just because I let you call me mother and you've helped me this far. "
"Is that what you're worried about now?"
"Don't think too much about it, believe me, I won't harm you, Mom can take my word for it."
That's not what Fu Xie lan meant, she just wanted to know the real reason. During her lifetime, finding people with genuine intentions was extremely difficult. Doesn't every creature in this world have their interests? Including herself who only used Wan Lie to keep her safe.
"Hmm ... well, I will not ask again," said Fu Xie Lan then stood up.
The two of them then left the place together.

Orange light slowly began to illuminate the earth, the nocturnal animal has returned to its den, the scent of the wet earth was carried by the wind and refreshed the lung cavities of every creature that inhaled it. A very bright and so refreshing morning.
It didn't feel like time had passed so quickly, during these two days Fu Xie Lan had only focused on increasing her physical strength with Wan Lie always by her side.
Today is the day when the pury test will be carried out, Wan Lie is already at the door of his mother's room waiting for the owner of the room to open the door with one of his hands holding a tray filled with food.
Several minutes had passed but there was still no sign of Fu Xie Lan about to open the door.
"Mom? Are you not finished yet?" Wan Lie's muffled shout was more like a whisper as he knocked on the door. He did the same thing three times in succession but there was still no answer. So he decided to open the bedroom door without the owner's permission.
A figure still wrapped in a thick blanket managed to enter his vision. it's no wonder no one responds, the mother is still asleep, maybe because the physical activity she has been doing for the past two days has made her body very tired. Watching his mother's face still asleep, it was very peaceful and managed to make the corners of his lips lifted into a faint smile, he couldn't bear to wake his mother.
Walked to the side of the window, put the tray of food on the table first, and then moved to open the window. Sunlight and the typical morning air immediately race into the room.
"nngghhh, "suddenly the sound of waking up reached his ears and made Wan Lie turn around.
"Good morning, Mom," he said with a happy face.
Fu Xie Lan simply answered "mmm" while rubbing her eyes. The glare of light that had managed to escape from her bedroom window made her blink for a moment to adjust her vision. Her whole body felt crushed, her muscles in her arms and legs ached, as a result of straining herself while exercising her physique. How could she not, she did the exercises from morning to noon then continued again at night.
The training she did was unmitigated, at night, when the atmosphere was very quiet, Fu Xie Lan tried to move several large sacks of stone around Elder Chen's residence, the stones he obtained thanks to Elder Chen's magic assistance. Even though Elder Chen saw all that stuff Fu Xie Lan did, yet she didn't dare ask any further questions. "Is it really tired? It's better if you just rest today, after all the pury test is not that important, you can take it another time,"
Hearing Wan Lie mention the pury test immediately made her eyes wide open. This was a golden opportunity for her to know the mana level in her body, as to how to use her body's mana, maybe she would think about it after that test. Follow it next time? No kidding. That meant she had to wait another three years, she didn't like to wait.
"Where is Elder Bao?" she asked, moving her hands crossed to the side, then up and down, stretching the muscles of her body.
"I told him to wait downstairs."
"Okay, wait for me outside," she said then went down from the bed with her hand that occasionally covered her yawning mouth.
***
Fu Xie Lan and Wan Lie walked side by side, while Elder Bao walked in front to take the lead. Currently, they are heading to the location where the pury test will be carried out.
The road they were walking on was very quiet and there was only the three of them, the sound of footsteps shouting to each other to fill the silence.
"Uncle, is it still far?" Wan Lie tried to ask.
"No, we'll be there in a minute," replied Elder Huang Bao as he continued to lead the way.
"Why is it so quiet? Won't this test be attended by all the people?" Now it was Fu Xie Lan's turn to ask, so far all he could see was trees like they were in the middle of a forest.
"Why isn't the test location done at the academy?" added Wan Lie.
Now, they walk further into the forest.
They both looked at each other, feeling suspicious. Fu Xie Lan, who had been feeling a little awkward, was now very sure that something was wrong. Suddenly he realized something.
Suddenly his hand moved reflexively to stop Wan Lie, making the person who was walking side by side with her stopped walking and turned to her giving a confused look.
"Why stop? Come on, we will arrive in a moment," asked Elder Bao, sensing that the two people following him stopped a few steps behind him
"O-oh yes Uncle," both answered almost simultaneously.
Wan Lie wanted to make a voice, but he stopped when he saw his mother's forefinger against her lips as a signal not to make the slightest sound. Fu Xie Lan then moved one of her hands to point at the ground where Huang Bao was walking and of course Wan Lie's pupils followed suit.
"Why Mom? Is there something wrong?" whispered Wan Lie as small as possible.
"Take a good look," replied Fu Xie Lan, moving the tip of her chin towards the object in question.
It took a few seconds for Wan Lie to digest his mother's intent.
HUANG BAO DOES NOT HAVE SHADOWS.
Wan Lie's reflex put on a watchful stance, took wide strides in front of Fu Xie Lan, and took her for cover behind his body.
The old man leading their way was not Elder Huang Bao.
