Xiao System: Diviner Yi Hua
Promise 8: Not or May Not Be Done

Yi Hua somehow did not want to talk too much with An. Even as the man walked behind him, the man was silent as well. It was as if the two of them had more respect for the wind and dust walking beside them.

After all, Yi Hua obviously did not want this topic to get to what he was afraid of.

Another case if I can really 'leak' about this rotten system!

SRETT!

Yi Hua protected his own eyes with his hands. However, the dust around him still could not compromise with him. Although not turbulent as in the outer part of the Dust Valley, but the dust here can make the eye suddenly have many layers. Or, maybe he could have a lot of dust flakes in his eyes.

"Does Mr An remember where the well was before?" yi Hua asked at last.

Wasn't An the one who might have brought them out of the pit?

"Remember."

The panted Yi Hua immediately turned to An. The man looked very calm as usual. His shady eyes stared at Yi Hua, so Yi Hua would not be surprised if from the beginning An's eyes did look at him from behind.

Does this guy think I need to be watched? Then, can he report me to the Kingdom?

And, also ... If this man remembers, why has he been silent?

Yi Hua even walked as if he was following the back of a cow since earlier. But he doesn't even remember anything. If he remembers, then it would be strange. Which unconscious person remembers the path he took?

In fact Ling Xiao's residence was quite far away from the Dust Valley. As Yi Hua exited the house, he could see that Ling Xiao was staying at the neck of the ravine. A pretty weird house for a weirdo. It's like you're making a house in the middle of a mountain.

And, somehow Ling Xiao's residence did not landslide by the ground. Well, maybe a few more years Ling Xiao will have to find a new home like him. Who can resist the change of nature?

When exiting the house, even Yi Hua had to run a little because of the declining area. Even though the road is not so winding. Yet Yi Hua walked as if he knew the way home.

An said nothing along the way.

Then, he with his face said that he remembered the way? Oh my goodness! Why not be a guide?

Well, Yi Hua could clearly only say it in his heart. Although he actually wants to kick An's handsome head. Moreover, he was already quite exhausted, and almost thought he could swallow one cow because he was hungry.

"Why didn't Mr An show you the way?" asked Yi Hua who was exhausted by herself.

An patted Yi Hua's rather dirty shoulder. Surely An did it for no apparent reason, and it had no function. Because, Yi Hua's clothes had already been united with dirty.

He could only cry at the end of his white clothes, which were no longer white. Because the dust has very well given a new color in his clothes. So that Yi Hua's clothes were already colored like a white cloth buried long ago in the ground. So distracting!

"Yi Hua didn't ask."

It's been. Yi Hua was really lazy kicking people today. Not to mention his fatigue.

Yi Hua put her smile on An. As the gesture if this man was annoying, Yi Hua would throw him with shoes. "So, where's that well filled with skeletons, Mr An?"

"Below we stand."

Huh uh? So, since we arrived and he didn't tell me anything?!

Sometimes quiet people like An often make a lot of 'flowers' words want to be revealed. Even Yi Hua's mouth was about to cast a magic spell. Just so An can talk more.

Yi Hua reflexively moved from where he stood when he heard An's words. The most surprising thing was that Yi Hua still clearly remembered how things were going around at that time. Then, why can it now be a place filled with sand?

In disbelief Yi Hua shook her head. "Mr An, this ..."

"You fainted for almost two days, and the storm came again. So that the situation in the Dust Valley was already like this," An explained without a meaningful expression on his face.

Whahuh? Two days in this world, and I only watched Shen Qibo's past for a moment! What kind of comparison is that?

So, he hitched a ride at Ling Xiao's residence for two days. Yi Hua himself was astonished by her being intact for two days there. Who could have guessed if Ling Xiao suddenly wanted to paint!

Yi Hua obviously did not want to be a blood donation to that extreme fortune teller!

"Honest. I don't know either, Yi Hua," replied Xiao who did not want to be blamed at all.

As Yi Hua had guessed, as long as Xiao connected with him, then he also depended on Yi Hua's life. If Yi Hua fell asleep, the system in his body would also fall asleep. Like it fused together and became one of his organs.

"Then, what about Yue Yan ... I mean the poisonous animal control?" yi Hua asked back. However there was no sign that Yue Yan and An had met in the past.

An raised his sword only to stomp on the ground mixed with the dust they were burning. At first Yi Hua did not understand why An did it.

However ...

CRUST!

Yi Hua immediately retreated when he saw the crack that appeared from once belonging to An. Although Yi Hua was not sure of himself with the sword. Because, previously Yi Hua saw the silver An sword like other swords.

But is that sword now black?

Or, Yi Hua just misplaced a look. I don't know.

Then, An pulled out an object like the rest of a shard from a silver plate. "It's this thing that makes the skeletons walk as if they're alive."

Yi Hua looked at the shards of the silver plate in confusion. On it was like being piled by a lot of soil and dust. It indicates that it has been in the ground for a long time.

The question is where are the other pieces?

"Surely he's not dead." What An meant was Yue Yan.

BRUK!

It's like you thought at first it was just an ordinary patch of land. But when you opened it, there was a secret tunnel there. That was what was created from the pounding of An's sword on the ground.

Also, this cave does exist at the bottom of the Dust Valley. The entrance was a hole that was reopened by An's sword. And, if Yi Hua had not mistakenly guessed, then the cave on this ground was connected to the well that Yi Hua was referring to.

Also, Yi Hua believed that Shen Qibo would not kill Yue Yan.

"This hole ..." Yi Hua was choked when he realized that this cave was definitely not something created from natural activities.

This cave as made, because there is a layer of stone installed to strengthen. Likewise with a large wooden support pole placed along the cave. Yi Hua was very sure that it happened to be not so good if the wood was naturally stuck there. So this might be a secret room.

Perhaps Shen Qibo was not as simple as Yi Hua thought. There was something about Shen Qibo, and perhaps it was related to the fact of his sin. Maybe this 'sin' has a reason.

Shen Qibo probably slaughtered the inhabitants of one village not just because he was crazy. Perhaps it was also because Shen Qibo did not want to mention his name to Yue Yan when they met. And, more strange than anything, why didn't Shen Qibo slaughter Yue Yan back then as well?

He massacred the entire village, and left only Yue Yan.

Then, a great disaster occurred, and the Valley of Dust was created. Later, ...

SRETT!

An patted the back head of Yi Hua gently. "There are times when it's better we never know something buried in the ground."

Yi Hua immediately brushed off An's hand just so he could run towards the cave. And, that was when Yi Hua could see the bones that were along the cave.

Far more than the one in the well before.

After which, Yi Hua looked at Shen Qibo who was sitting on a huge rock. Near him was Yue Yan lying with a battered face. Without guessing by many theories, Yi Hua already knew the culprit.

"Are you no longer able to stand?" shen Qibo asked, still with his eyes bound by cloth as if he was a blind man.

Or, Shen Qibo just blinded himself?

"Ughhm ... Br*chl! Shen Qibo, you .. uhuk ... BLARS ..."

Yi Hua stared incensedly at Yue Yan who was spewing blood. Yue Yan's bruised and bluish eyes displayed heartbreaking tears. Yi Hua was at a loss to say what, and she realized that An was also just silent behind her.

In this case they obviously cannot interfere. About the revenge of others, or the secrets of others.

However ...

"You're weak. That's all."

Shen Qibo got up from the rock where he was sitting. He stepped towards where Yi Hua and An had come.

"Thank you for destroying the dust. And, it's even better if the fragment is destroyed because it shouldn't exist in this world."

That was what Shen Qibo said, and Yi Hua understood his point. Also, the fraction ... It seems there are other pieces.

Due to their arrival, the dust sheath created by Yue Yan was destroyed. His 'artificial' village was also destroyed. In other words, the presence of Yi Hua and An went into the Dust Valley to destroy the magic sheath that was there.

Or, it was not Yi Hua who destroyed it. That is An ...

Somehow An was able to destroy the magic when the man forced his way inside. Thanks to it all, the Dust Valley will probably become normal in a moment. Yi Hua remembered the shards of the silver plate that An had stored earlier. Somehow Yi Hua felt that everything was not simple.

Is it true that the disk should have been destroyed? Wh why?

"Yi Hua, don't take care of something you shouldn't have to deal with. Instead of collecting the fragments of the plate, you better collect the fragments of your memories!" reprimand Xiao who was aware of Yi Hua's desire.

That thing that wants blood constantly is not a good thing. Even Yue Yan subverted those who were lost in the Dust Valley to keep the thing alive. So that it had an impression that Yi Hua could not mention simply.

The discs are dangerous.

Just imagine, a single piece of his shard could have such power. It can even animate the skeletons, and can move like a human. What if the disk is collected?

"Yi Hua, we're back" An reminded.

Yi Hua simply nodded and left Yue Yan who was surrounded by poisonous animals. They may have intended to comfort their Master. And, Yi Hua was not so familiar that he could sympathize with Yue Yan.

That way, the village was completely wiped out. Leave Yue Yan alone, and realize the reality. Everything was destroyed a few years ago.

"I'm waiting for the day you can kill me, Yue Yan."

That was the last word spoken by Shen Qibo before his figure completely disappeared from their sight.

And, Yi Hua still had no answer about the bones buried in this place. Perhaps one day Yi Hua would find the answer, and perhaps it was at a time when Yue Yan could also keep his promise. He's going to kill Shen Qibo.

A promise between them that somehow connects the two.

A promise that knows when it can be kept.
