Zhou Hao was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Xu Ling was here so late at night.

However, it was already so late. Xu Ling must have come to find him for a serious matter. After all, everyone was around during the day. Xu Ling must have visited him this late because she had something to say.

Zhou Hao was very curious about what Xu Ling wanted, so he hurriedly opened the door.

“It’s already so late. Why haven’t you slept yet?”

Zhou Hao opened the door and smiled when he saw Xu Ling.

However, he did not notice a trace of worry flash in Xu Ling’s eyes.

“Aren’t you still awake? Why are you talking about me?”

Xu Ling rolled her eyes at Zhou Hao and couldn’t be bothered to say anything else. She walked into the room and sat on the sofa.

Zhou Hao touched his nose and looked at Xu Ling. Could something exciting happen tonight? If that was the case, he was still not prepared!

Of course, this was all Zhou Hao’s wild guess. Xu Ling was very shy and reserved when it came to these things. However, perhaps the crazier Yun Yan would be capable of something like this.

“Let me pour you a cup of tea.”

Zhou Hao smiled and immediately opened the tea set. He brewed a cup of tea and brought it to Xu Ling.

Xu Ling took a sip of tea, her eyes somewhat absent-minded. She did not speak and just sat there, making Zhou Hao stunned.

He couldn’t help but sit over and look at Xu Ling. He asked curiously, “What’s wrong, Xu Ling? What’s bothering you?”

At this moment, Zhou Hao finally realized that Xu Ling was acting weird. However, he still couldn’t tell what was wrong. He kept feeling that Xu Ling had something to say!

“Hmm… I have something to tell you, but I don’t know how to say it…”

Xu Ling sighed, her expression carrying a little sadness, making Zhou Hao stunned.

“Just say what’s on your mind. Is there anything you and I can’t say? Hehe is it…”

Zhou Hao deliberately blinked to make Xu Ling happy. After all, every time he acted stupid, Xu Ling would smile and lecture him. He thought that he could cheer Xu Ling up in the same way today.

However, Xu Ling was unmoved, her eyes filled with loneliness.

Only then did Zhou Hao realize that something must have happened. Otherwise, Xu Ling wouldn’t be like this.

“Xu Ling, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Or… is there a problem with your cultivation?”

Zhou Hao was very worried. He finally felt that something was wrong and could not help but regret his carelessness. He had been negligent and even failed at noticing Xu Ling’s emotions.

As someone who was pursuing Xu Ling, he felt that he shouldn’t have been so negligent!

“No, my cultivation is going well. I am progressing very quickly, and I haven’t even finished absorbing the Energy Bar you gave me.” Xu Ling shook her head and said.

After saying this, Zhou Hao became even more worried. He subconsciously grabbed Xu Ling’s hand and said anxiously.

“Xu Ling, what’s wrong? Tell me quickly, or I’ll be worried to death!”

Xu Ling’s face immediately turned red when her delicate hand was grabbed. She wondered when this bastard had learned to be touchy. However, she did not retract her hand and let Zhou Hao hold it.

“I… I’m about to break through to the supernatural level…”

After saying this, Zhou Hao was a little puzzled. Breaking through to the supernatural level was a good thing. Why was she so worried?

Breaking through to the supernatural level was the dream of countless martial artists. Many people wanted to break through but were unable to do so. Now that Xu Ling had the chance to break through to the supernatural level, why was she still worried? From the looks of it, she seemed to be somewhat unwilling.

“Xu Ling, this is a good thing. Aren’t we martial artists cultivating to break through our shackles time and time again? I’m really happy for you for being able to break through to the supernatural level.”

“Oh, could it be that you’re thinking that I’ll be left behind after you break through to the supernatural level? Hehe, to tell you the truth, I’m also going to break through to the supernatural level!”

Zhou Hao thought that Xu Ling was worried about this, so he tried to comfort her.

He thought that Xu Ling would hurt his pride by breaking through. However, it had to be said that Zhou Hao was still young and could not tell what a girl was thinking. He was simply clueless!

Xu Ling looked at Zhou Hao and smiled. “Oh, You’re about to break through too? That’s good, but…”

“But what?” Zhou Hao was stunned.

“It’s just not enough… Zhou Hao, I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I want to tell you what I think. I really like you and want to be with you. I originally thought that I could change my fate myself, but… I’m afraid I can’t…”

Xu Ling’s sudden words stunned Zhou Hao for a moment. The first few words made Zhou Hao extremely excited, but the last sentence suddenly stunned Zhou Hao on the spot!

What did she mean by that?

Could it be that even if she liked him and he liked her, they still couldn’t be together?

“Xu Ling, what happened? Tell me, I’ll bear the consequences with you!” Zhou Hao hurriedly said, his expression anxious!

“Zhou Hao, do you know what it means to be a supernatural expert?” Xu Ling suddenly asked.

Zhou Hao still did not know what a supernatural expert meant. Didn’t it just mean that one’s cultivation level would be increased?

“This… I’m really not sure,” Zhou Hao could not help but ask.

“By becoming a supernatural expert, it means that I have to leave behind my student status and depart from the team. I will need my own space to develop. If we continue to stay in the Green Cloud Division, we will have two choices after we become supernatural experts.”

“The first is to rush to the frontline. The Green Cloud Division is mainly in charge of the seven spatial rifts. Supernatural experts will guard the spatial rifts. Even if they can’t reach the frontline, they have to stay in the fortress at the frontline to prevent the foreign races from invading.”

“The second way is to stay behind. The frontline is filled with danger, but ordinary cities in the various continents also have to be guarded. Since we belong to the Jiangnan area, if we become supernatural experts, we might also be stationed in the Jiangnan area. It’s likely that we’ll become a special patrol envoy and be responsible for guarding the entire area.”

Hearing this, Zhou Hao finally understood. He originally thought that all the supernatural experts were supposed to go to the frontline. Apparently, other than the first choice, there was still a second choice!

However, after hearing Xu Ling’s words, Zhou Hao also realized a problem!

If Xu Ling said this, it was likely that she was considering the second choice!

Zhou Hao frowned. If the second option was to guard the Jiangnan area, wouldn’t that mean that she would be separated from him?

Of course, strictly speaking, they don’t need to be separated. It was just that the distance was a little far. However, clearly, Xu Ling was not simply bothered by the distance.

After all, he believed that their relationship would not be affected just because one was in the Jiangnan area and the other was at the frontline!

Then why was she concerned?

Zhou Hao hurriedly said, “Xu Ling, what’s going on? I still don’t understand!”
