After this incident, he had been avoiding Kirito on purpose for the past few days. Kirito understood this. After all, she was still a young girl in her prime. No matter what the reason was, she would still be concerned about what had happened.
However, after a few days, as Tian Tian's leg fully recovered, the awkwardness disappeared. Tian Tian returned to her usual sunny and cheerful self, and there was no longer any awkwardness when she greeted Kirito.
On the evening of the seventh day, Kirito's group finally arrived at the city where the Daming Manor was located. As the sky was already dark and it was not suitable for them to travel, Kai decided to rest here for the time being.
"Teacher Kai, as I said before, I have my own personal matters to attend to here.”After a full meal, it was time to rest.
Kel said," Oh, I've heard you talk about it. It's about finding rare metals, right?”
Xiao Li was young and hot-blooded, and he always had an inexhaustible amount of energy. When he heard that he had something to do, he immediately got up from the ground." Tian Tian, do you need help?”
Tian Tian rolled her eyes at Xiao Li." You rascal, it would be better if you didn't help.”
"How can this be!" Xiao Li said in a defeated tone.
Tian Tian waved her hand,"Forget it, Li. You're not suited for this. You're so clumsy ~"
When Ning Ci heard this, he said lightly," Since it's a small matter, you don't need my help. I have to prepare for the handover with Daimyo tomorrow.”
" Wait, Ningji…" Kai pointed at himself and blinked." Isn't the handover usually done by the leader, Jounin?"”
"Hmph hmph ~" Ning Ci glanced at the latter and didn't say anything.
Tian Tian said disdainfully," Forget about the other missions, but this is a mission given by the big name. Teacher Kai, you better not embarrass our Mu Ye."”
"Tian Tian! How can you say that about Teacher Kai!”Xiao Li said in dissatisfaction.
"Shut up, Li. This is something that Lord Naruto gave me in addition.”Ning Ci said coldly. According to Kel's personality and methods, Naruto had reason to worry that Kel would cause some trouble, especially since this mission was issued by Daimyo himself. If anything were to happen, it would affect the Fire Country's trust in Mu Ye. Ning Ci was young and steady, and he was highly regarded in the circle of Muye's higher-ups. While he was highly anticipated, he was also very trusted.
"How could this be! Is my credibility that low?" Kel immediately sat down paralyzed from the blow.
However, Xiao Li, who was beside him, immediately pounced on him and gave him a comforting hug." Don't worry, Teacher Kai! Li will always believe in Teacher Kai!”
"Li!"
"Teacher Kai!"
The two of them hugged each other and cried.
Ning Ci silently turned around and left.
Tian Tian also covered her forehead with a headache. She put on her ninja bag and shouted at Kirito, who was doing nothing," Kirito, let's go."”
"Yes." This matter had already been discussed before they set off. Or rather, the mission of Kirito's follower was for this. Not only because of Tian Tian's request, but also because of the system's mission to collect rare metals.
The two of them walked out of the inn. This was the territory of a noble in the Country of Fire. The streets were not crowded with businesses, and there was only a small inn for merchants to rest in. The rest of the place was a boundless manor and fields, but it was not crowded.
The moon rose slightly into the night sky, dotted with stars.
The two of them strolled through the grass. It wasn't a leisurely stroll. They were just unfamiliar with the environment here. They followed the simple map they had obtained from the intelligence.
At this moment, Tian Tian was still holding the simple map in her hand. Her brows would occasionally furrow, and then relax. She would nod her head, and it seemed like she had already found the exact location of her target.
Kirito's gaze landed on Tian Tian's left foot. The hollowed-out ninja boots revealed her fair foot, which was wrapped in bandages. However, looking at her light steps, it seemed like her injuries were no longer a problem. This was only natural. Although he had been bitten by a poisonous snake, the real wound was only a little bit. Originally, nothing would have happened if he had injected an antidote. However, the syringe had been broken by the clumsy Xiao Li. Therefore, the only way was to let Kirito suck the poison out with his mouth. This was nothing. If it was an emergency, it could be dealt with urgently. There were not so many rules between men and women among ninjas.
" Uh…" Kirito felt Tian Tian suddenly stop in her tracks. He looked up and saw Tian Tian staring at him with her big eyes. It was obvious that the latter had unintentionally noticed Kirito's gaze on her feet.
Kirito waved his hand awkwardly, indicating that it was not what he had thought. However, Tian Tian had already turned her head to the side, as if she didn't want to hear any explanation.
He didn't say anything, nor did he overreact. It was as if he didn't care. However, if one looked closely, one would notice that his ears were clearly slightly red.
Just like that, the two of them were silent for a while.
"We're here." He stopped in front of a dense patch of grass. There was nothing special about the surrounding grassland.
However, Tian Tian squatted down and used her hand to push aside a pile of weeds in front of her. She could see a dark underground tunnel.
Kirito was also surprised." To think that you could find such a hidden place."”
"Don't underestimate our intelligence agency.”Tian Tian harrumphed as she took out two chakra sticks from her psychic scroll and threw one to Kirito.
This thing was cold to the touch. It was unknown whether it was made of metal or some other material. After injecting a little chakra into it, the palm-sized staff immediately emitted a faint green fluorescent light. It was not very bright, but it was enough to illuminate the darkness.
"Let's go." Tian Tian said, but she didn't move.
Kirito was stunned for a moment when he saw the latter turn his head to the side. Then, he understood something and smiled. He took the lead and walked in front.
"..." Tian Tian followed behind Kirito as he strode forward.
