A duelist never gives up!

"Anyway, Xuefeng is not in the same group with Yuan Qi, which is a good result. But the problem is..." Sera muttered softly while looking at Beifeng who was walking in front of him.

How should I apologize to Beifeng?

Just speak directly?

Sera looked around. Now there were only Sera and Beifeng around. If they wanted to reconcile, now was the only time.

"Ahem." Sera coughed twice, then took small steps to Beifeng's side, "Um, what happened last night..."

"I don't want to talk to you now." Bei Feng lowered his head, picked up his firewood, took two steps forward, and distanced himself from Sera.

"..."

Sera's face puffed up, and she looked at the receding Beifeng and shouted in dissatisfaction, "Then it's up to you. I don't really want to talk to you right now. If you think the problem is all on my side, then think about it! Goodbye!"

With that, Sera playfully rolled her eyes and walked in the opposite direction of Bei Feng.

Bei Feng's hand holding the firewood froze slightly, but he quickly recovered and muttered softly, "It's obviously your fault..."

……

However, after walking for a while in a huff, Sera discovered something important - she was lost.

"Where...is this place?" Sera looked at the unfamiliar scenery around her, and a drop of cold sweat broke out on her smooth forehead.

"Oh right, you can look up at the direction of the sun to determine the direction!" Sera had a flash of inspiration and looked up at the blue sky, but found that the sky was covered by dense trees. Although she could see some light through the leaves, she could not see the sun at all!

"In this case, we can't rely on the stars for positioning!" Sera said madly, holding her head, although she didn't have such advanced skills as observing the stars to determine positioning.

"Do you want to go back?" Sera turned around and looked behind her, hesitating.

Even if I go back, I won’t remember the way I came. If I accidentally take the wrong way, I will just waste my energy.

"We can only wait for rescue." Sera sighed, leaned against the tree, sat on the soft soil, hugged her legs and said, "Let's save our strength for now."

One minute later.

after an hour.

I don’t know how long it will take.

A soft sound came from Sera's stomach.

"Goo-"

Sera's little stomach, which had not been fed for a long time, protested strongly to her.

"Stop shouting, stop shouting. I'm hungry too." Sera rubbed her stomach helplessly.

However, at this moment, a burst of brisk footsteps sounded from the opposite side of Sera.

"Is that Hara Nana? Or Yukikaze?" Sera stood up and shouted to the other side, "Hey! I'm here! Can you hear me?!"

As soon as Sera finished speaking, the footsteps suddenly became hurried, and then two figures emerged from the woods.

However, the person who appeared before Sera was not Yuan Qi, nor Xuefeng, nor Julie, but...

"Nafeli?! Zhu Xiu?! How come you are here?!" Sera looked at the two people who suddenly appeared and instinctively wanted to take a step back, but she ended up standing back to back with the big tree.

"If a student causes trouble outside, of course the teacher has to deal with it," Nafeli yawned. "Where are the others? Why are you the only one here?"

"They should be nearby." Zhu Xiu pushed his glasses and said to Sera, "The play house game is over. Come back with us."

"My stupid sister."

Chapter 29: Why does the old woman act like a virgin?

Somewhere in the forest, Hara Nana and Shiraban were walking side by side.

"These should be enough." Yuan Qi stretched out his hand and threw the last pine mushroom in his sight into a wooden basket made of wooden strips that Baiban was carrying on his back.

"In that case, let's go back quickly. It's almost time to cook." Baiban turned around, took out a red wild fruit from Yuanqi's basket, wiped it casually with his sleeve, opened his little mouth and took a light bite.

The next second, the fresh flesh and sweet juice burst in Baiban's mouth, making her playful and cute little face show a hint of satisfaction.

"If you don't wash it thoroughly, you might get a stomachache," Yuan Qi reminded.

"Dew has already cleaned it for me." Bai Ban shrugged and, with a nonchalant expression, brought the other side of the fruit towards Yuan Qi and said, "Would you like to have a bite too? It's very sweet."

"I'm talking about hands. There are a lot of bacteria on human hands." Yuan Qi didn't bite it like Baiban did, but glanced at Baiban's little hand holding the wild fruit.

Although it looks as white and delicate as jade, if you gently scrape it with a glass slide and then put it under a microscope, you may see countless bacteria.

"Bacteria, what are those?" A hint of curiosity flashed across Baiban's silver eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he said, "It seems like a word I haven't heard of before."

"No, nothing." Yuan Qi realized that there was no such category as biological science in this world, and stopped talking in time. To explain bacteria, he had to explain the microscope, and to explain the microscope, he had to explain optics, and to explain optics, he had to explain a lot of things.

Yuan Qi didn't want to create a forest just to hide a leaf.

"Speaking halfway is a very annoying behavior." Baiban curled her lips and pretended to be angry. Although she was no longer a teenage girl, it did not stop her from pretending to be young.

"I'm really sorry." Yuan Qi didn't want to reveal his identity as a time traveler, at least not now.

"Tell me, is it some shameful secret?" Baiban hugged Yuan Qi's arm and launched a coquettish attack.

"Let's talk about it later." Yuan Qi pulled out his arm and said.

"Oh, it seems so."

Sometimes when you walk alone, time seems to take a long time, but if you walk with someone and talk, time passes quickly.

So when Yuan Qi saw the familiar villa in front of him, he subconsciously stopped and asked in surprise, "We're here already?"

"That's it? I'm so tired from walking." Baiban complained, "I haven't walked such a long distance in a long time. I feel like my legs are going numb."

"You haven't exercised for a long time, right?" Yuan Qi complained.

The two walked into the villa and found Xuefeng and Julie walking in front of them carrying a small bucket.

"Just in time for you to come back." Julie noticed the footsteps behind her and turned around and asked, "Where should I put the fish? In the kitchen?"

"Let's put it in the kitchen first." Baiban came over and looked at the fish in the bucket in surprise, "You caught so many in such a short time?"

"The float on the snow wind is almost always calm, and fish keep taking the bait one after another." Julie said suspiciously, "I suspect that even if there is no bait on the hook, these fish will still take the bait."

"Hahaha, that's too exaggerated." Xuefeng laughed embarrassedly.

"It's Xuefeng after all." Yuan Qi was no longer surprised by Xuefeng's good luck.

"Clap."

Footsteps came from behind. Yuan Qi turned around and saw Beifeng, wearing a fox mask, walking in slowly with a basket on his back.

"You guys are back too." Bai Ban tilted his head and looked behind Bei Feng and said, "Hey, where's Sera?"

Bei Feng paused, and a muffled voice came from under the white mask: "We separated halfway, didn't she come back?"

"No."

A cold voice sounded, and Honglian stood in front of the living room door, looking at everyone and said: "No one came back before you came back."

Yuan Qi and Bai Ban looked at each other, and both saw the worry in each other's eyes.

"Wait an hour." Baiban said, "He might be on his way back."

"Indeed, she's not a child anymore, so she shouldn't get lost." Yuan Qi nodded and said, "Everyone, please pack up your things first."

"I'll help too." Honglian rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair and tender arms.

“Do you scale and gut the fish?” Julie inquired.

"No big deal." Honglian chuckled. She grew up in an orphanage, and cooking was a necessary skill in life.

"Then I'll wash the vegetables and mushrooms." Xuefeng said, extending his hand.

"I'm tired, so I'll leave it to you." Baiban took off the wooden basket from his shoulder and handed it to Xuefeng.

She is not a duelist and her physical fitness is not as good as Yuan Qi and the others.

Everyone quickly took action. Although everyone looked relaxed and cheerful, there was still a trace of worry between their brows. They would even stop what they were doing from time to time and head towards the door of the villa.

ten minutes later.

After half an hour.

after an hour.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and gathered together.

"You must have gotten lost." Bai Ban blamed himself, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have paired you two."

"Did you arrange for Sera and I to be in the same group?" Beifeng looked at the whiteboard in surprise.

"No, it was Sera who took the initiative to ask to be in a group with you." Baiban shook his head. "I just held out the note. It's up to her whether to draw it or not."

"That guy took the initiative? How could someone like her..." Bei Feng's voice suddenly became softer as he spoke.

At that time, Sera seemed to be planning to apologize, but she just refused.

"I'll get her back right away!" Beifeng turned around and rushed out the door, but Yuan Qi grabbed his arm tightly.

"Don't worry, take me with you." Yuan Qi said seriously, "Do you still remember where she said goodbye to you?"

"Remember," said the North Wind.

"Let's go then." Yuan Qi nodded, then said to the others, "Leave it to us for now. I don't want anyone to get lost again when I come back."

"The more people involved in the search, the better," Julie disagreed. "Let Baiban stay behind this time. We'll go with you."

"I don't want to just wait here." Xuefeng nodded.

"If we mark the tree, there shouldn't be any problems." Honglian took out a knife and said, "Let's carve a triangular pattern on the tree. Maybe Sera will see the mark and come back on her own."

"That makes sense." Yuan Qi nodded, "Let's do it."

So, everyone who had just returned left the villa again.

"Maybe he just didn't realize the time," Julie said soothingly.

"I hope so." Yuan Qi clenched his fists unconsciously.

Chapter 30: The insect demon is very powerful!

"Come back with us, my foolish sister."

Sera looked at Zhu Xiu standing in front of her, frowned slightly, and said in her slightly hoarse voice, "I refuse."

"Reason?" Zhu Xiu looked at Sera coldly and asked, "Is it because all your friends have joined that you joined too for such a childish reason?"

"Maybe it seems childish in your eyes, but in my eyes, nothing is more reassuring than staying with your friends." Sera said in a deep voice.

"Rest assured? Are you at ease being wanted by the alliance all over the streets? Are you at ease being regarded as a villain by normal people? Are you at ease standing on the opposite side of all duelists?!" Zhu Xiu's voice tone rose with every word he spoke, and the anger in his eyes grew with every word he spoke.

"Do you think I care about such trivial matters?" Sera raised her smooth chin with disdain. She was an outlier who didn't care about worldly opinions. In her eyes, the things Zhu Xiu said were not as important as what to eat every morning.

"You!" Zhu Xiu was about to speak, but was poked in the waist by Nafeli.

"Ahem, calm down." Nafeli coughed twice and reminded, "We are not here to quarrel."

Zhu Xiu took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and said in a calm tone, "Come back to the academy with me now, back to your little home. I'll let you play games or read novels. Don't worry about being alone without friends. I'll bring Yuan Qi and the others back with me."

"You can't take Yuan Qi away." Sera shook her head, took the deck in her hand, and said with a determined look, "You can't take me away either!"

Zhu Xiu lowered his eyelids and pursed his lips as he asked, "Are you actually planning to duel with me?"

"Since we're duelists, of course we'll have to duel to decide," Sera said solemnly. "If you lose, leave here immediately, and don't reveal our whereabouts to anyone else."

"Then if you lose, you have to go back with us obediently and tell us the whereabouts of Yuan Qi and the others." Nafeli raised his eyebrows.

"No problem." Sera looked at Zhu Xiu and Nafeli and said, "Who will come?"

"Who's coming?" Nafeli sneered, "Have you forgotten your current identity?"

"Make no mistake, you're a wanted criminal now." Zhu Xiu said in a deep voice, "Facing a duelist like you..."

"We all fight in groups." Zhu Xiu slowly took out his deck and said.

"Tsk." Sera frowned. Although the hero had a strong backhand ability, he could only deal with one opponent at a time. And in a two-on-one situation, unless the difference in decks was huge, she would definitely lose...

"By the way, you're not going to use my deck against me, are you?" Zhu Xiu suddenly stretched out his hand towards Sera and said, "Don't forget, the hero deck you have in your hand is lent to you by me."
