BXBX NOVEL Chapter 53 - 53. Be Ready
"Thank you," replied the girl and then did everything Elder Bao instructed her to do.
***
The temperature in the room where Fu Xie Lan was sleeping began to rise a sign that the cold night air had been replaced by the heat of the sun, the little girl had woken up a few seconds ago. No wonder she felt stifling, it turned out that the window was still closed.
Knock ... knock ... knock ...
The knock on the door distracted her attention. The voice of a young man that he seemed to recognize made her immediately move to open the door. She did not know since when she moved into the room.
"It's time for breakfast, Mother," said Wan Lie.
"Just put it outside, by the way, is there still no news from Elder Bao?" asked Fu Xie Lan then.
"Are you worried about me little girl?" Hearing his name mentioned, the little old man immediately approached Fu Xie Lan.
"Take it easy, no one can hurt me except Lord," he added again with a smile that showed rows of teeth.
Fu Xie Lan feels relieved, even though her worries are meaningless, but no one knows what will happen in this world right?
"Wan Lie has told me everything, someone tricked you and ended up in Parqus Village."
Fu Xie Lan just said yes, then her eyes shifted to the two girls who were still sleeping on the living room chair.
"Oh, that is Xue Ning," said Wan Lie, who seemed to know the meaning of her mother's gaze.
"Xue Ning?"
Now it was Elder Bao's turn to tell everything without missing a beat while Fu Xie Lan just listened silently.
"You better have breakfast first, then your stomach will hurt," said Wan Lie
"After that, be prepared," Elder Bao continued again.
"Huh?"
"There's something I need to do for you, so be prepared immediately," said Elder Bao and then left the two men. He walked towards someone who was one of the academy students who was still asleep, woke her up, and told her to come back.
Meanwhile, Xue Ning was left alone, remembering that the girl was recovering. even though the wound is gone, it doesn't mean that she has recovered because the impact of the moon tiger bite is more on one's life energy (mana).
On the other hand, Fu Xie Lan and Wan Lie immediately prepared according to Elder Bao's request. Some of the clothes that the student had prepared for them then perfectly adhered to the bodies of the two.
It's just that, the outfit Fu Xie Lan wore this time was a dress, an outfit she didn't like.
It didn't take long, both of them had finished and Huang Bao had been waiting for them.
"Where are we going, Uncle?" asked Fu Xie Lan
"To a place that will make you strong," replied Elder Bao, he decided, he would train Fu Xie Lan before leaving for Kanca City.
While the chaos that had occurred in the Academy had been resolved, regarding Elder You's disappearance, he left it to the other elders and teachers.
Fu Xie Lan looked at Wan Lie in confusion but the young man only shrugged his shoulders as a sign that he was also clueless.
The three of them then began to step out of Elder Bao's residence.
"Wait, let me come with you."
A voice stopped their step and almost simultaneously look toward the source of the sound.
"Are you sure?" Elder Bao asked the girl who had woken up from her sleep.
Xue Ning only nodded her head and then immediately ran towards them, stop beside Wan Lie.
The four of them then immediately rushed over. No one knew where they would go except for Elder Bao.
The situation inside the academy was back to conducive, several buildings that had previously collapsed were now standing firmly as there had never been any chaos before. The gardens and several paths that were previously covered with dust and chunks of buildings have now regained their face. Clean and very beautiful. All thanks to the hard work of the second-tier wizards who were in the academy.
The sun was getting hotter and scorching, but they didn't stop at all. Sweat had soaked Fu Xie Lan's body. The dress she was wearing distracted her steps.
"Get on," said Wan Lie suddenly bowing in front of Fu Xie Lan.
"What are you doing?" said Fu Xie Lan slightly surprised.
Elder Bao turned around and found them stopping.
"Don't spoil her too much, Fu Xie Lan needs to develop. If she continues to depend on you then she will find it difficult to protect herself in the future," said Elder Bao.
"And no one can guarantee that you will continue to be near her," he added, then continued her steps.
He could have used teleportation paper, but his teleportation paper could only contain three people. So he decided to go on foot. Because apart from Xue Ning being unable to fly because she was only a first-tier wizard, Fu Xie Lan was the same. Even though the little girl had fairy mana within her body, she still couldn't use it. Although she could, he doubted that the girl would have wings because there was human blood in her body. At least that's what's in his head now.

They passed a path that was behind a square-shaped building with several pillars standing firmly at each corner, some people were seen on guard, and some others seemed to go in and out with hurried steps as if something very urgent was happening.
.
.
"What's the matter? Why the hurry?" asked Elder Bao holding one of those who happened to run towards him.
"I-it ... T-that, you happen to be here, Elder. Elder Chen told us to look for you."
Then that person's gaze moved to the left and right of Elder Bao where Fu Xie Lan, Wan Lie, and Xue Ning were. This was the first time he had seen those people. It was very clear that they were not academy students. Every student in the phoenix academy wore a blue robe as an identifier. Meanwhile, the people who were with Elder Bao did not even wear it.
"Haven't I left this matter to him?"
"B-but Elder Chen told us to look for you, please come with me, Elder," the man exclaimed.
"Do you want to come with me in or wait for me here?" asked Elder Bao turning and question the three people who were with him.
"Come with you," replied Fu Xie Lan and then get the nod from another. She knew very well that waiting for Elder Bao at that place was not a good thing for them. She could feel how many pairs of eyes had been watching them since earlier. Moreover, the clothes they wore were different from most of the people there, without the blue robes making their presence very striking.
"Alright," said Elder Bao then walked in the lead.
.
.
.
Elder Chen and several teachers who were there immediately welcomed Elder Bao.
"Stop being like that, now explain why you were looking for me?" asked Elder Bao as soon as he was in the room.
it seemed that several people wearing robes of different colors were still drooping, they were lying on the bed which was in a room that only had cloth as an intermediary, lined up from end to end.
"Several people of different races suddenly had convulsions a while ago at the same time, and even we didn't have enough time to confirm their body condition and their breathing suddenly stopped," explained Elder Chen. It was very clear that he was very agitated now, beads of sweat running down his forehead incessantly as if he were afraid. The same thing happened to the people who were in that room.
