While on the other hand, Elder Huang Bao who had been overhearing their conversation suddenly took a deep breath and then let it out slowly.
"I've heard something from my ancestors," he said instantly making everyone look at him.
"Ancestral?" asked Fu Xie Lan.
The old man just nodded.
"In the past, before the current Lord," he began, occasionally glancing at Wan Lie.
"The Fairy area is known for its flower plains. Because, it is said, almost the entire land surface is covered with flower petals."
"I don't know if this is true or just a fairy tale, I still vividly remember the time when my ancestors said that when visiting Fairy territory, one only needed to walk a few days to explore the entire territory," Elder Huang Bao explained at length.
Hearing that, Fu Xie Lan's mind worked quickly.
"Did Master hear such a thing?" asked Fu Xie Lan wanting to make sure.
"That's right, I heard it when I was a child when children my age still couldn't understand right and wrong," Elder Huang Bao replied.
"And I'm one of them," he added.
"If it's just on foot, it means that the Fairy's territory back then was very small," Fu Xie Lan muttered, muttering that was still able to reach everyone's ears.
"Not only that, because if you just walk, it means that the boundary cliff and core area haven't been created yet, right?" she added trying to interpret another meaning of her Master's words.
Everyone fell silent, sharing the same thoughts as the girl.
"I don't know if this is right or wrong, because when I first visited Fairy's territory, it was already like this," said the old man again.
Fu Xie Lan heard everything very clearly, but what she focused on in her mind was the layout of the fairy territory.
Maybe because of her feelings of guilt, the girl tried to find a justification for what the old woman said. Thought that if she had brought things back to their original form, then maybe her guilt would go away, or at least lessen a bit.
And if what Elder Huang Bao said was the truth, then what caused this change of territory? Not only the shape has changed, but the breadth as well.
A new mystery lodged in her mind and managed to make her head throb again.
She who had only entered this world for less than two months had been forced to accept and even find out everything that had happened until hundreds of years ago. Whose head doesn't hurt? Let alone two months, for even a year if one were faced with all these things, one would feel the same feelings as one is now.
But one thing she understood from the two successive mysteries that filled her head. Her existence in this world was related to the events of seven hundred years ago, a bloody tragedy whose stories she had heard from several people, and even then only a small part of it.
While the ruby star stone that she is currently collecting relates to events long before the bloody tragedy occurred.
And it all stems from one race. It's an Elf Race.
It seemed that it would be better if he knew it directly from that Race. Just how? Did she visit the eternal snow mountain? The place listed in the first message she got mysteriously.
But if she goes there, isn't that the same as wasting her time? Because she did not know for sure where the Race settled.
It would be best if she only focused on collecting pieces of the Ruby Star Stone so that she could immediately rush to the mountain, breaking the seal on her body as well as unraveling the mystery that filled her head.
And that seems to be the best way for now. For she felt, when she searched for everything she came across, it was not the answer she got but new problems and mysteries that made her head even more congested.
Fu Xie Lan let out a ragged breath for who knows how many times she didn't know it. Struggling with her thoughts kept her from finding enlightenment. Finally, the girl decided to stop figuring it all out.
One day all the things that are confusing her right now she will know, sooner or later.
All she had to do right now was the focus, set one goal only to find the remaining pieces of the Ruby Star Stone.
In her hands, there were already two pieces, which meant there were still six pieces.
"Xie Lan...."
"Xie Lan, didn't you hear me?" Xue Ning's voice made the girl startled and managed to disperse everything in her head.
"Eh? Why?" asked Fu Xie Lan as she regained her senses.
Instantly one of Xue Ning's hands that was waving right in front of her face stopped.
"I've been talking to you since earlier," Xue Ning said.
"Is that true?"
The girl nodded.
"I'm sorry," said Fu Xie Lan, tightening the green robe that was wrapped around her body.
"What did you say to me earlier?" asked Fu Xie Lan.
"Not important. Better forget it, Xie Lan," Xue Ning replied.
Fu Xie Lan's brow furrowed.
"I'm just making small talk, so don't worry about it, hehehe," Xue Ning laughed crisply.
"What's the matter, little girl?"
"You can tell us if something bothers you," said Elder Huang Bao.
Fu Xie Lan turned her gaze towards the old man, and the wrinkles on her forehead became even more pronounced.
"Where's Teacher Liu?"
"A fairy asked for his help, and just left," Elder Huang Bao replied.
"You still have something to ask him? Do you need me to catch up with him, Xie Lan?" asked Wan Lie with the voice.
"No need. I'm fine," Fu Xie Lan replied right away.
But what she said was not immediately believed by those who were sitting with her at that time. Elders Huang Bao, Wan Lie, the Xue brothers, as well as Ju Xian could tell very clearly that the girl was not in a good condition.
However, neither of them asked further.
Hearing Fu Xie Lan says something like that, was a sign that the girl wasn't in the mood to talk.
Even Xue Ning, who had been babbling since earlier, fell silent, simply because she didn't want to make Fu Xie Lan feel uncomfortable.
"Tonight, we will spend the night here," said Fu Xie Lan.
"And tomorrow morning, we're back," she added.
"Eh? Didn't you want to stay in this territory any longer Xie Lan? As you said before."
"Many fairies have recovered, and so has the Queen.. Not only that, but the King may also arrive soon, considering that a few days have passed since this incident," replied Fu Xie Lan in one breath.
