Chapter 297.3 - Trapped, With No Way Out
Chapter 297.3: Trapped, With No Way Out
“The Mind Free Peak has manifested before the people in Cloud Heaven and a whole bunch of eager and hotblooded people are currently seeking to make their way up here to see what this place is for themselves. But their tutelage and skills in cultivation have all fallen short and a number of them have lost their lives.”
Upon hearing that, Qing Yu’s face could not help but turn grave. “What is the objective you people are seeking to achieve? Isn’t it to recruit outstanding talents to work for you! ? Or are you people just playing a game of mindless killing! ?”
“Why are you getting so worked up for?” Lian Shi curved up the corners of his lips. “You said it yourself. What the Mind Free Peak needs are outstanding highly skilled pugilists, and all these second rate good for nothings will be killed sooner or later anyway, so the Mind Free Peak is just being kind to teach them a free lesson that’s all.”
“Ha! Twisted reasoning.” Qing Yu scoffed with her eyes narrowed, looking like she did not want to speak with the man anymore.
Lian Shi was unperturbed but merely said smilingly: “You just be good and remain here. There’s no need for you to struggle in futility and do not think that anyone will come here to save you. The more hope you hold, the greater the disappointment will be, and I’m afraid that you might not be able to take it in the end you know?”
Immediately after saying that, he did not wait for Qing Yu to respond but turned with a billow of his sleeves, and the cell door opened under his command. After he walked out, the door then shut itself back in place with a boom.
Qing Yu remained in her spot as she gaze deepened, watching the man’s departing figure, and it was a good long while before she came back to her senses.
The Mind Free Peak has appeared…..
Ah Yao and the others must already know that she is here. So, could they be among that group of people?
She had deciphered from the man’s words earlier, that just the very first obstacle of coming up to the Mind Free Peak was as difficult as climbing one’s way up to Heaven.
What should she do…..
Qing Yu sighed out in helplessness. Is she really going to remain trapped in here?
Throughout her previous and present life, she had never been placed in such an aggrieved and wretched situation.
She could not help tugging at the bindings on her ankles out of frustration. She really felt like cutting off those shackles but remembering that depraved man’s threatening warning, she had to hold herself back from doing that.
“Mother~”
Just as she was feeling utterly gloomy and depressed, an adorably young sounding voice suddenly sounded in her ear, which somehow felt rather familiar and strange to her at the same time.
Qing Yu was inevitably taken aback.
This voice, doesn’t it belong to that inextricably sticky little ball of fur she accidentally took in as a pet back in the Constellation Continent’s Hades’ Canyon?
One that loved nothing more than to eat, a little fella named Meatball. The first time it saw her, it had followed her doggedly like it had seen its most favourite meat bone, and she had found it so adorable she could not help but to keep the little creature by her side.
