"If someone hadn't taken me away then, I might as well have ended up in the tragedy seven hundred ago."
The tragedy of seven hundred years ago. Those words rang in Fu Xue Lan's ears.
The girl stopped for a moment, but only for a few seconds, and continued again.
It meant Master Liu was one of the victims of the tragedy. What happened then? She was initially just a little curious, now became very curious.
Especially when she thought of someone who had ordered her to find out about the tragedy seven hundred years ago.
Did that incident have anything to do with her suddenly entering this foreign world?
"A tragedy seven hundred years ago? What happened Uncle?" asked Fu Xie Lan.
"I was very young at the time. So I don't remember what happened," replied Master Liu.
"A few years later, I just found out, that at that time it turned out that some witch wanted to exterminate the entire race by absorbing everyone's mana," added Master Liu again.
"Then?"
"Then yeah, I don't know anymore, kid. Because at that time I fell unconscious. And when I woke up, I didn't find my parents' whereabouts anymore. Only a piece of paper containing a message intended for me," replied Master Liu sounding sighing with heavy breath.
"No, I mean, do you know who exterminate those witches, Uncle?" asked Fu Xie Lan as if she had never heard of this story.
"People say, Queen of this world, kid. I've only heard from the mouths of other fairies because I've never seen what the Queen looks like."
"At that time I was too young to be able to understand what happened, I didn't even understand myself if it turned out that what happened seven hundred years ago was threatening my life," he added.
"At least Uncle is still alive and well," Fu Xie Lan replied immediately. The girl's intention to dig up more information about the tragedy seven hundred years ago had to be abandoned.
Master Liu didn't know much about that bloody event.
"Hmm, thanks, kid."
And after that conversation, no one spoke again. The only sound was the sound of crashing footsteps.
Passing through the flower fields, now the two of them were through the forest, Fu Xie Lan could see the distance between one tree and another was very close, vines were found hanging from one tree to another, so at a glance, it would appear as if the trees were fused and intertwined. Relate to each other. Not only that, but she also found green moss filling several tree trunks, some still retaining their freshness, some have turned brown due to drying.
When you look up, the beautiful scenery is again displayed very clearly. The dense foliage only managed to let in very little sunlight, and it looked like the stars in the night.
Coupled with the cool breeze that blew lightly made a Fu Xie Lan instantly feel very peaceful.
"This forest is the boundary between the inner and outer race," said Master Liu suddenly.
"This forest is very refreshing, Uncle," Fu Xie Lan replied.
Hearing the girl's words, Master Liu just smiled.
"May I ask you something, Uncle?" asked Fu Xie Lan after struggling with her thoughts for a long time.
"What's that?" Master Liu's response.
"Have you ever heard of the Elf Race?"
"Um, that race is extinct, kid. What's wrong?" Master Liu replied lightly.
"In this world, that race no longer counts as the inhabitants of the Artland. They became extinct thousands of years ago," Master Liu replied.
"When I was little, my mother used to tell me about it as a lullaby," Master Liu replied again.
Hearing that, for some reason a faint smile formed on Fu Xie Lan's luscious lips.
"Have you ever heard of the ruby star stone?" asked Fu Xie Lan after a few seconds of silence.
"Of course, kid. It's an Elf race heirloom," Master Liu replied so casually as if he didn't notice the seriousness of the girl walking behind him.
"It seems that you are interested in the Elf race," said Master Liu suddenly turning his head back for a moment, confirming that Fu Xie Lan was still following him.
Hearing the question, Fu Xie Lan was silent. Suddenly she didn't know how to respond.
"Tsk...it's okay. Everyone has their interests. If you want to know a little about them, I have some books for you to read," said Master Liu.
"Uncle?"
"Um, right. It's just that maybe some of the writing or even the paper has been lost or torn, it's been so long," replied the middle-aged man.
"Hopefully the book is still there," he added.
"Hopefully, Uncle," said Fu Xie Lan.
And after that, there was silence again.
Walking several tens of minutes, a light began to appear from the front. It indicated that they would soon be out of the forest.
It turned out that the forest was not very wide, unlike what Fu Xie Lan had in mind before.
"Let's go to my house first to get robes for you," said Master Liu.
"Alright, whatever Uncle," replied Fu Xie Lan complied.
Even though it was already noon, Fu Xue Lan didn't feel the heat in the slightest.
A light breeze blew, blowing his hair which he had ponytailed back, caressing the skin of his neck which looked very white and smooth.
The girl did not realize, that since entering the forest, several pairs of eyes were watching her, they are forest-dwelling fairies or commonly referred to as forest fairies.
Not a single forest fairy appeared, all seemed to be watching the movements of the witch who was with Master Liu.
Whereas on the other hand, Fu Xie Lan who knew a few things about Fairy was very clear.
Although her eyes did not catch a single creature, the girl was aware that the forest she was passing through was currently inhabited by forest fairies.
Fairies who can only live in the trees and preserve the forest. They tend to have transparent brown wings.
The wings are perfect and perfectly match the area they live in.
"May I ask you something, kid?" asked Master Liu suddenly slowing his pace to match Fu Xie Lan's position.
"What is it, Uncle?"
"But beforehand, this middle-aged man apologizes if my question will offend you, kid. But honestly, I'm really curious."
"And you can choose to answer it or not. It's up to you," added Master Liu again.
"Just say it, Uncle, don't hesitate," Fu Xie Lan replied.
"Emmm...Eee... How did you become the disciple of Elder Huang Bao?" Master Liu asked in a slightly low tone of voice, yet still able to reach the girl's sense of hearing.
