"What is it?" Chen Xuan asked, his curiosity piqued as he sensed a shift in Gong Zijia's spiritual consciousness.
Gong Zijia had just consumed the soul power she had gathered for the night when she drew the Moon Shadow Sword from her storage ring, leaving her unable to scan the nearby boulders for anyone lurking in the shadows. She offered Chen Xuan no reply, choosing instead to listen intently with her head tilted, yet after a long while, she heard nothing. She figured she must have been too high-strung from her training, allowing her imagination to run wild. With that, she returned to her cultivation, and Chen Xuan did not press the matter.
About an hour later, Nan Qianqian, hidden behind a large boulder, finally let out a silent sigh of relief. An hour earlier, she had accidentally kicked up some sand with her left foot, making a slight sound that had nearly exposed her to Gong Zijia. Fortunately, she had remained perfectly still ever since, avoiding any further suspicion. Once she was certain that Chen Xuan and Gong Zijia had slipped back into a state of deep meditation, Nan Qianqian carefully made her way out of the stone forest, treading as if on thin ice.
