LUO YAN looked at the tower far ahead. He and Shen Ji Yun were standing at quite a long distance away from it, and yet, he could still see it so clearly. Showing just how tall it was. That’s their target – the ce where the oracle was staying.


    After lunch, the two of them rendezvous outside of Alryne City. They decided to meet there because there’s a chance that Dusk had already regained consciousness. And if they met at Shen Ji Yun’s ind, where they left Dusk and Eclipse, the former might insist on going with them.


    So, from Alryne City, they teleported to Typhon. Unlike this morning, they didn’t enter the valley in a straightforward manner. They did it as stealthily as possible until they reached the ce where they were at right now.


    It’s a good thing that Shen Ji Yun had a lot of items that could hide their presence. The other’s over preparedness really came in handy during times like this.


    "I don’t see any guards. Also, there seemed to be no barrier surrounding it. Just like what that red dragon said," Shen Ji Yun said. "But we still can’t becent and think that everything he told you was the truth. There’s still a chance that he might have lied."


    Earlier, before Luo Yan put the red dragon to sleep, he squeezed him first with all the information he had. Especially those that could help them capture the oracle.


    ording to the red dragon, the oracle lived in a tower located just north of the valley. It’s outside of Typhon and yet one couldn’t get to it unless they passed by the valley. Rowan said that the oracle often stayed at the very top floor of the tower where a huge astrbe was located. He said that the oracle spent hours and hours there just so he could read the future.


    Which was highly unlikely, in Luo Yan’s opinion. If he was indeed a dark mage, then, there’s a high chance that he might not even be an oracle. He might just be using that identity to keep an eye on the dragon n.


    The older generation might have known what his real purpose there was. But the younger generation didn’t. And so, they made up an identity for him. Which was the oracle. The red dragon didn’t admit that straightforwardly. But when he said that they needed him because of their current queen, he might have as well admitted it.


    The fact that Rowan couldn’t tell him everything regarding this oracle might mean that the other had something to do with the deal between the dragons and the dark mages. If it was for their queen – Dusk’s mother – then, she’s probably still not in perfect health. And just like what the red dragon said, they needed the oracle’s help for that.


    Luo Yan actually wanted to meet with Dusk’s mother. See if she was in control of all her faculties or if she was just a puppet of the dark mages. But it’s much more important right now to have a ’nice’ talk with the oracle and find out all the details regarding that deal.


    He nced at Shen Ji Yun who was standing beside him. The other was holding an item that was simr to a binocr, only that the distance it could see was much farther.


    He then suddenly remembered that thing the other did earlier. You know, holding his cheek and telling him he’s the most beautiful – which was very true by the way.


    At first, he was startled. Then, he felt his heart skipping a beat. If Shen Ji Yun didn’t step away on his own, he might have turned his head to the side and kiss the other’s palm that was touching his cheek. After Shen Ji Yun stepped back, he didn’t know if he should feel relieved that he wasn’t able to do that or if he should feel regretful that he lost a chance to tease the other again.


    Anyway, it’s always really surprising whenever Shen Ji Yun awakened his inner Casanova. But he liked it whenever the other does that. Seeing him asionally transform from an innocent cinnamon roll to a flirty Casanova was definitely thrilling. Like that feeling you get when you’re on a roller coaster and it was about to dive from a high point.


    It made his actions unpredictable and Luo Yan was all for it. At least, their future together would be full of surprises.


    Anyway, back to business.


    "I know," he said, responding to what Shen Ji Yun said earlier. He turned his gaze back to the tower and narrowed his eyes. "There might be traps surrounding the tower."


    The only good thing here was that the red dragon told him that only the oracle lived in the tower and that other dragons were also not allowed inside. That meant that once they entered the ce, they only had to worry about the oracle himself.


    But then again, a lot of traps could still be waiting for them inside. That’s why they both decided that the best entrance would be from the top of the tower. But they didn’t think that the tower would be this tall.


    Entering the ce from above, their only choice was for Shen Ji Yun to change into his qilin beast form so they could fly. But in doing so, there was no way that Shen Ji Yun in his qilin form could just fly there unnoticed.


    Shen Ji Yun noticed the little frown on Luo Yan’s face while looking at the tower and he immediately understood what the other was worried about. "Don’t worry, we will still do this ording to n."


    Luo Yan turned to the other. "It seems that Brother Ji Yun has a way."


    "Yes," Shen Ji Yun answered in an unwavering tone, showing that he was confident that whatever he’s nning would work. "Yan Yan just has to hold onto me very tightly."


    Luo Yan was confused at first. But a minuteter, hepletely understood what he meant.
