Chapter 2114 - 2115: Witnessed by All

Anna said: "Young Master, you need not blame yourself. Your strength is evident to all. You are truly a great hero for helping regardless of racial differences."

Ling Zhenfei said: "Princess, you're too kind."

Before Ling Zhenfei could finish, Alice interjected, saying: "Enough with the pleasantries, the two of you. Let's get to the point—what should we do now?"

Alice's words made Anna silent, and after a while, she said: "What else can we do? This time, we launched the expedition with hopes of a triumphant return, but who would have thought we'd suffer such a devastating loss. If Mr. Ling hadn't saved us, we'd have been wiped out entirely.

Now our only option is to return to the tribe as soon as possible, explain the situation to our people, and prepare to resist the human cultivators."

Alice said: "Initially, we believed the Supreme God would lead us to defeat the humans, but now we've met this fate.

By the way, Sister Anna, weren't you part of the final attack with the Supreme God? How did this situation arise? Why were you chased by these people?"

Anna said: "Originally, we entered from the West Gate, where the elite forces were gathered at the South Gate. Initially, humans had no way to resist us, but suddenly, a group of over a hundred appeared. These people were strong, and their sudden ambush destabilized us.

Once our formation was disrupted, humans began their counterattack, causing a complete retreat and heavy losses on our part. We could only flee.

Yet those people behind kept chase, leading to the current situation."

The situation was almost as they knew it, but they still didn't know who the mysterious person was who suddenly appeared.

Ling Zhenfei said: "Surely, humans suffered heavy losses as well. The sect that attacked you earlier was from Mount Bu Zhou, a notable sect. Otherwise, Ji Tianlang wouldn't be ranked among the Four Young Masters.

They seemed to have sent nearly a hundred compared to the thirty or forty who attacked us now. They lost almost half. This is from a major sect; smaller ones likely suffered even worse."

Alice said: "It'd be best if those invaders all die!"

Alice's words sent a shiver down Ling Zhenfei's spine. He didn't realize humans were regarded as invaders in the eyes of the Foreign Land People.

Perhaps sensing Ling Zhenfei's expression, Anna said: "You can't say it like that. There might be misunderstandings between humans and us. If more people were like Young Master Ling, there wouldn't be any war."

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback after hearing that. He initially thought Foreign Land People were all like Alice, wary and prejudiced against humans. But seeing Anna, he realized some shared his understanding.

With people like Ling Zhenfei loving peace among humans, naturally, peaceful beings exist among foreign races too.

Humans and these foreign races simply differ in their race.

Perhaps humans have experienced a similar situation in their world, changed only by the passage of time, yet humans and foreign races are essentially alike.

Ling Zhenfei said: "Let's hope so, hope there's no war in the future."

Anna nodded approvingly at Ling Zhenfei. The Fire Lizard could see Ling Zhenfei and her shared similar thoughts.

Alice said: "As long as the passage exists, war between humans and us won't stop."

Ling Zhenfei said: "How can you be so certain?"

Alice said: "Because our war with humans has lasted for thousands of years. If it could stop, it would've stopped long ago. Why does it still continue over a millennium?"

Ling Zhenfei was silent, perhaps Alice was right.

After a while, Anna said: "Let's leave out unnecessary words for now. What should our next steps be? Will you join us?"

Anna looked at Alice to ask her opinion.

Alice looked at Anna, then at Ling Zhenfei, and said to Anna: "Since we've met you, we naturally need to be together."

After saying that, Alice said to Ling Zhenfei: "Okay, it's settled. You don't need to escort me back. Since my sister is here, I'll leave with them.

You have many things to do, so focus on those."

Ling Zhenfei was slightly taken aback. Though Anna still had some people, could these dozen individuals really return safely to their dwelling?

On second thought, even though he saved Alice, she didn't trust him at all, or perhaps the entire human race, which is why she tried to distance herself from Ling Zhenfei as soon as she could.

Ling Zhenfei thought that humans killed Alice's entire team, even her father; how could Alice trust him?

But it might be for the best, as Ling Zhenfei had many things to do and couldn't always stay beside Alice.

Ling Zhenfei said: "In that case, congratulations on finding your acquaintances, I shall head out now, wishing you a safe journey."

After speaking, Ling Zhenfei glanced at Anna, and she said to Ling Zhenfei: "Mr. Ling, for this immense favor and virtue, our Winged Elves will find a way to repay it."

Ling Zhenfei said: "There's no need for repayment, just take care."

After saying this, Ling Zhenfei turned to leave but suddenly remembered something.

Ling Zhenfei turned back and asked Anna: "By the way, Princess Anna, since you're the final wave of attack, have you seen Tian Ming?"

Anna clearly didn't know why Ling Zhenfei asked about Tian Ming, paused, and said: "Tian Ming was part of the main attack at the South Gate. You should head south if you're looking."

Ling Zhenfei bowed: "There's no need to say more, farewell."

After speaking, Ling Zhenfei rode the Lightning Bird and headed west.

Once Ling Zhenfei left, only Alice and Anna remained in the clearing. These two elf princesses—one passionately fiery, the other icy cold—it's a wonder how two seemingly opposite personalities became close.

Anna, looking at the direction Ling Zhenfei departed, asked softly: "You seem to dislike him very much?"

Alice said: "It's not him I dislike, but humans. My father was killed by them, can't I be resentful?"

Ana said: "But you were saved by him, weren't you?"

Alice hesitated slightly and then said: "On that note, I do owe him. To help me, he's now a public enemy among humans."

Anna was caught off guard and said: "Now that he's become a public enemy, isn't it extremely dangerous for him to return to the human side?"

Alice was also surprised, thought for a moment, and said: "I suppose so. It might be fine; perhaps without me, he can act more freely."

Anna said: "It's truly unexpected that there'd be such a person on the human side. Since young, I've been taught of the irreconcilable hatred with humans, making me curious about what they're truly like.
