These Familiars Are Strange

I didn't say anything as I looked at him with narrowed eyes, but Yun Tian didn't seem bothered by the way that I looked at him.

Instead, he just looked right back at me with the same smile on his face as if he was waiting for a response from me.

Honestly, I wasn't surprised by what he said.

After all, I had already figured out the same thing that he had mentioned and had already planned on taking care of it after leaving this group. It was just that I didn't expect him to be paying attention to this as well.

This kind of thing seemed like it was too low grade for Yun Tian to care about…

Only it seemed that he did care about it and he cared about it enough that he even warned me of it.

Though there was a clear reason for why he even cared about this.

That was what surprised me.

After looking at him like this for a bit, I asked, "Why are you going this far? What do you have to gain from this?"

Yun Tian's smile didn't disappear as he said, "Like I said before, I think you're worth that much. I believe in my intuition and when it tells me that you are someone that will be someone important in the future, I trust it. So that is why I'm doing all of this."

I really didn't know whether to believe him or not when I heard this, but based on what I had seen so far…it didn't seem like Yun Tian was lying.

So in the end, I slowly took back the item that he gave me and said, "Then I'll believe you and accept this."

Yun Tian gave a simple nod and without saying anything else, he turned to leave as if he was done talking to me. But as he was leaving, I seemed to hear something from him that almost seemed like a whisper.

"I hope that you'll trust me enough one day to tell me about the strange wind that you used."

I was taken aback when I heard this before revealing a look like I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

What he said about his sharp intuition was true, it seemed that he had been able to see through all of my tricks even though I had hidden everything. This sharp intuition was most likely what had allowed him to see through a certain someone's illusions in the first place.

So it wasn't strange if he noticed something else with this sharp intuition.

I didn't respond to this since I didn't know what to feel about Yun Tian still, but even after everything that he did, I didn't really have a bad feeling about him. Rather, my impression of him was quite good.

Once that matter was settled, I led Wang Rong and Iris away from the rest of the group.

The way that they looked at me made it clear that they wanted to know what I talked to Yun Tian about, but I didn't say anything as I continued walking.

Even when we were away from the group, I still didn't say anything as I continued leading them forward.

Finally, the two of them couldn't take it anymore.

Wang Rong was the one that wanted to step forward and say something, but I raised my hand and stopped him before he could.

Though the two of them just looked at me with confused looks, I shook my head at them to show that it wasn't the time to be talking about this right now.

In the end, the two of them accepted this and followed me without saying anything.

Though it was clear that they had thoughts on their mind.

I didn't mind them as I turned back around and continued walking forward, moving away from the camp at a steady pace. It was almost as if I was taking a casual walk instead of being in a dangerous place like the Abyss.

The two of them looked at me with strange looks, but they eventually realized that there was something off about our surroundings. When they did, they looked at me as if they wanted to say something to me.

Only I shook my head once more to stop them.

I could see from the look in their eyes that they were prepared for anything that happened, but there was nothing for them to worry about since I had already prepared everything.

Including watching over the one that was causing the things that were happening around us.

"Now."

I suddenly said to Wang Rong and Iris before suddenly breaking into a sprint.

The two of them were caught off guard, but they quickly followed me on instinct alone. That was the kind of trust that they had in me that they were able to follow me even if they were caught off guard like this.

I started dashing forward in a certain direction, but the space around us also started to change because of this.

There were many Abyss Demons that appeared out of nowhere, but I didn't back down when I saw them. Even when they came right at us, I just ran right into them without a single care.

Though there was a layer of wind that was in front of me that blocked a certain thing from making contact with me.

When they made contact with me, or rather with that layer of wind, the Abyss Demons just disappeared without a trace.

I didn't slow down at all as I continued charging through these Abyss Demons.

During that time, I also had something out that I was looking at.

It was this small thing that had a monitor attached to it that was showing a single dot.

This was one of the items that I had gotten from the Master Gnome's armoury.

This was a monitor that was connected to a special tracking chip that I had used on Jin Long.
