First Summoner

Chapter 464 The Price of Growth

When the geniuses on Half Moon Island heard this, they all headed towards the north.

At this time, Shen Yan and Chi Yue also rushed to the coast.

When everyone on the island is heading in the same direction, they will meet on the road.

Shen Yan and Chi Yue met Ying Qi again.

The young man who was once full of vigor and vitality now looks haggard, as if an extremely heavy burden is placed on his shoulders, making his steps heavy and giving people a decadent feeling.

Ying Qi also saw them.

He pursed his lips, walked towards the two of them, and called out, "Shen Yan."

"Senior Brother Ying." Shen Yan's expression was indifferent and his tone was distant.

At this time, Chi Yue was wrapped in vines, following Shen Yan while sleeping.

Ying Qi lowered his eyes and stared at her, his voice slightly hoarse, "Thank you for protecting me at that time."

Shen Yan didn't say anything, just nodded lightly.

Just as she was about to walk around him and move forward, Ying Qi suddenly reached out and held her arm.

Shen Yan's eyes turned cold.

"Brother Ying, you have overstepped your boundaries."

Chi Yue slowly opened his eyes, his dark brown pupils tinged with a hint of coldness, as if he would attack Ying Qi with just one word from Shen Yan.

Ying Qi did not let go, but looked at her seriously: "Shen Yan, I really want to know, why did you look at me with murderous intent before the forbidden ruins?"

Shen Yan asked back: "Is this important to you?"

Is it important?

Ying Qi was stunned for a moment, his eyes darkened slightly, and he directly sent a voice message to Shen Yan: "Is it because of my grandfather?"

Seeing that he had guessed it, Shen Yan felt that there was nothing to hide, but she wanted to test whether Ying Qi was involved in the "Shen Huai's disappearance", so she sneered: "You don't know?"

Ying Qi's heart sank.

Sure enough.

What did his grandfather do behind his back?

Ying Qi did not fall into her trap, but instead thought of what had happened before from her words. He asked the question in his mind, "Was it your father Shen Tianmen who tried to kidnap me several times before?"

Although he did not see the man's face at that time, after meeting Shen Tianmen, he felt that Shen Tianmen and that man's figure were very similar.

Shen Yan did not deny it.

"Yes."

"What did my grandfather do?" Ying Qi met her cold eyes, his throat slightly dry, and he was eager to know the truth.

Shen Yan's face was grim, and she actually raised her foot and took a step closer to him, with her aura fully open and a strong sense of oppression, "You really don't know?"

Ying Qi took a half step back and unconsciously loosened his hand that was holding Shen Yan's arm. He was silent for a few seconds and shook his head.

"do not know."

Shen Yan took in the change in his expression and said coldly, "That is a matter between me, Shen Yan, and Ying Zun. It has nothing to do with you, Senior Brother Ying."

At this point, Ying Qi also guessed that Shen Yan wanted to deal with his grandfather.

After Shen Yan finished speaking, she walked forward, and Chi Yue followed beside her.

After walking for a while, Ying Qi unexpectedly followed her and walked beside her, as if nothing unpleasant had ever happened between them.

Shen Yan raised her eyes to look at him, only to see him smile helplessly and say, "Shen Yan, our destination is the same, and you are my junior brothers and sisters, so can't I walk with you?"

"It's up to you." Shen Yan wasn't so cold-blooded as to tell him to go away.

Chi Yue just glanced at him.

The three of them stayed together in silence.

Shen Yan was cold and taciturn, Chi Yue was walking and sleeping, and Ying Qi was worried.

When they arrived at the coast, many young geniuses had already gathered there.

A petite girl rushed out from the crowd.

"Yanyan!"

The girl's tone was joyful. She rushed over and hugged Shen Yan.

Shen Yan's cold brows relaxed as if ice and snow were melting, and a genuine smile appeared on her face. She reached out and gently supported Jiang Xianyue's waist, "Yueyue."

"I missed you guys a lot these days." Jiang Xianyue raised her head, a smile blooming on her sweet and lovely face. Then she looked at the boy with the red mole on his forehead and stretched out her little fist to bump him on the shoulder.

"Chi Yue, you're not sick, are you?"

The boy raised his eyes, looked at her and shook his head.

"No."

"That's good." Jiang Xianyue's eyes curved into a smile. She was very happy in her heart because she saw Yanyan and Chi Yue.

Shen Yan laughed, "Where's Yu Chu?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xianyue remembered Wen Yuchu's existence, turned around, and pointed in a certain direction, "Over there!"

Shen Yan and Chi Yue looked in the direction she pointed, and as expected, they saw Wen Yuchu in white. He had an outstanding figure and even more so his temperament.

Wen Yuchu slowly walked towards this side with a faint smile on his lips.

Elegant and noble.

Jiang Xianyue stretched out her hand and tugged at Shen Yan's sleeve, her eyebrows curved, and said: "During the past few days that I have been with Yu Chu, I have picked up a lot of storage rings, which contain a lot of treasures and valuables."

Ying Qi, who was ignored, suddenly asked, "How do I pick it up?"

Jiang Xianyue then noticed Ying Qi, and the smile on her face disappeared instantly, like a vigilant hedgehog, quickly erecting its spikes to hide its soft side. Her eyes were full of vigilance and alertness, staring at Ying Qi closely, as if he was a potential threat. However, when she and Shen Yan looked at each other, she restrained some of her hostility.

"From the dead, of course."

The dead refer to the geniuses who were killed.

Ying Qi looked suddenly enlightened.

At this time, Wen Yuchu had already walked over. He nodded slightly to Ying Qi and called out politely, "Senior Brother Ying."

"Junior Brother Wen." Ying Qi returned the greeting.

Wen Yuchu raised his eyes to look at Shen Yan, his narrow eyes slightly raised, adding a charming smile, and said: "Captain, we survived, and we were also targeted in advance."

Shen Yan responded and asked, "Are you seriously injured?"

"No." Wen Yuchu shook his head. During the few days on Half Moon Island, the geniuses he and Yueyue encountered were not strong enemies, so they were able to deal with them with ease.

Wen Yuchu asked back: "What about your situation?"

"Not bad." Shen Yan said, "We met Pei Su and You Lin on the way, and fought against geniuses from other continents together."

Jiang Xianyue asked curiously: "Have they been targeted in advance?"

“It was locked in advance.”

Jiang Xianyue crossed her arms and snorted, "Humph, I thought Zhuge Youlin hadn't been targeted in advance."

At this time, Chi Yue spoke.

"He berated me."

Jiang Xianyue heard this and said, "He has a mean mouth, just like a door without a door handle."

"Yeah." Chi Yue nodded in agreement.

The four of them were chatting and laughing, but Ying Qi was unable to join in.

Ying Qi lowered his eyes. He remembered that when he was with his companions, they were also talking and laughing like this, carefree.

He was filled with grief and sadness.

…Is the price of growth to be constant loss?
