Chapter 132 - 132. That Song Again
A second later, Fu Xie Lan, Wan Lie, and the other two immediately got ready. After feeling that they haven\'t forgotten anything, they slowly walked out of the Lily Inn.
Meanwhile, Bai Mo, who saw them suddenly disappear, was confused and didn\'t know what to do.
\'Are they heading to the human race\'s territory?\'
Previously, Bai Mo had indeed heard that the girl wearing after the man will go to the human race, but he didn\'t know that the person would be leave using the teleportation paper.
If it was like this, he who was ordered by Lord Gu Yi to look after the girl could not continue his duties.
With a rough sigh, he rose from his position, moving quickly towards the demon palace to report the departure of the four people and receive the punishment for his negligence.

Four people appeared simultaneously on the river bank which was right in the forbidden forest, they were Fu Xie Lan with Hao perched on her shoulder, Wan Lie, Ju Xian, and Xue Ning with bows right on her back.
"Is this human territory, Xie Lan?" Xue Ning asked looking around. as far as her eyes could see, she only found dense trees lined irregularly showing their majesty with a river flowing so calmly right not far from where they were, and several wild animals seemed to quench their thirst on the banks.
"No, isn\'t" replied Fu Xie Lan, immediately stepped away from there, of course, followed by the three people who were with her. Now, her position is the place where she had first met Elder Bao who had become her teacher now.
"This is the Forbidden Forest," added Fu Xie Lan again.
Hearing Fu Xie Lan\'s words, Xue Ning and Ju Xian suddenly put on a wary attitude.
"Relax, this forest is not dangerous at all," said Fu Xie Lan immediately when she saw the attitude of the two people.
"B-but Xie Lan, I\'ve heard that this forest is very dangerous," Xue Ning said.
"It\'s dangerous, but it only applies to the human race. Yes, he said so," explained Fu Xie Lan, she who had set foot in this forest twice felt that the forbidden forest seemed normal and there was no danger at all, was it because she\'s not human? or is there something else?
Wan Lie who saw Xue Ning still on guard only glanced at the girl, "Tch, that\'s too much," he squeaked and then returned to match his footsteps with Fu Xie Lan.
No one does not know the name of the forbidden forest in Artland World. Even so, it was very rare for people to enter the forest because rumors said that it was a very dangerous place. After all, if someone was found wandering in the forbidden forest for no apparent reason, then it is impossible, that he/she would receive the death penalty in the demon palace.
"So, where are we headed now to Xie Lan?" now it was Wan Lie\'s turn to speak.
"Zu royal forest," the girl replied firmly, and immediately the three people stared in confusion at Fu Xie Lan.
"Have you been there?" Xue Ning asked representing the look on everyone\'s face.
Hearing Xue Ning\'s question, Fu Xie Lan\'s steps slowed down, she then turned to the girl who was walking right behind her.
"Huh? Where?" Fu Xie Lan asked no less quickly, she realized that what she just said was a mistake. She shouldn\'t have mentioned the name of the place in detail.
Until now, no one knew that in fact, her life before entering the phoenix academy was in the Zu kingdom, the first kingdom bordering the territory of the immortals.
"Just now you mentioned the Zu royal forest," Xue Ning replied with a frown.
"Or is my hearing getting worse?" said the girl again with one hand griping her sense of hearing.
"I didn\'t say anything, maybe your hearing was wrong," said Fu Xie Lan then immediately turned around and resumed walking.
Ju Xian suddenly looked at Wan Lie who was looking at him at the same time, that both of them shrugged their shoulders almost simultaneously as if they didn\'t want to care about the two girls\' chatter.
The wind blew lightly, creating a rustling sound of leaves that sounded so soothing, blowing everyone\'s hairs, rubbing the skin, and managed to give a cool sensation.
\'The lost has returned...\'
\'Love brings death...\'
\'Terrible death...\'
Suddenly, Fu Xie Lan\'s steps stopped, her ears ringing. The mysterious song suddenly returned to her senses of hearing. Various kinds of feelings that are very difficult for her to describe gnawing at her heart. Like feelings of hurt, happiness, sadness, and longing? But to whom?
Suddenly she thought of Gu Yi. She had been out of sight for two days. From the bottom of her heart, she wanted to be angry because the man didn\'t say a word before leaving, but what could she do? Fu Xie Lan realized that even though she wanted to be angry she had to endure it. After all, who was she for that man? She didn\'t even have any status with him.
"What\'s wrong Xie Lan?" Wan Lie also stopped his steps, as did the others.
"Did you hear anything?" said Fu Xie Lan, she turned her body to face the three people who followed her.
"Like what?" Ju Xian chimed in.
"Erm, maybe like seemed a song?" Fu Xie Lan replied quickly.
"Song? I didn\'t hear any sound other than the scraping of twigs and leaves," Xue Ning said.
"How about you two? Or is it just me? Ah, it seems that my hearing is indeed problematic," added Xue Ning, looking at Wan Lie and Ju Xian alternately while rubbing their ears again.
"I didn\'t hear anything, Xie Lan."
"Me too," Ju Xian followed.
Hearing the two people\'s words, Xue Ning immediately stopped rubbing her ears.
"What does that sound like, Xie Lan?"
Xue Ning asked again feeling relieved because it was not only her who did not hear the voice Fu Xie Lan was referring to.
Fu Xie Lan who heard everyone\'s words was silent for a few seconds.
\'Does that song have anything to do with me?\'
Previously, Fu Xie Lan felt that it was just a coincidence, but not this time. Hearing it many times, especially when only heard by herself, made her sure that the song must have something to do with her.
"I don\'t know, it\'s hard for me to explain," replied Fu Xie Lan, turning around and continuing on her way.
Her feelings are mixed right now. For some reason, every time the chant of the song was heard, Fu Xie Lan felt the same, fortunately, because this time she didn\'t feel the pain like when the chant was heard the last time in the Zhoul tower where Master Xiao Ying was.
