“Then will you harm me?” Xi Ning leaned very close, breathing on Lin An’s face, “I don’t think you are the kind of person they say.”

Lin An’s expression softened, and he subconsciously denied himself, “But you have only known me for such a short period of time”

“How well do other people know you?” Xi Ning asked back, “I don’t care, anyway, I have already said what I wanted to say, you have to believe it no matter what.”

“Okay, got it.” Lin An lowered his head to find Xi Ning’s lips and kissed him, “Go to sleep for a while? Get up early tomorrow and we can hurry our way to the tower.”

Xi Ning nodded. He was already a little sleepy. When he looked up, he saw Lin An’s eyes were clear and he didn’t seem to be sleepy at all, “You have to sleep too. You’ve been walking all day.”

“I’m not sleepy and I’m not tired.”

Almost no dark magician will participate in the class evaluation. Lin An only knew that he had the strength of a fifth-class magician a long time ago. He has been living under cover for so many years, even himself didn’t know how powerful he had become. He doesn’t need to sleep and eat, and can just use his spiritual energy to maintain his physical strength.

He explained it to Xi Ning, and Xi Ning looked at him with admiration, “You don’t even feel sleepy?”

It was the first time Lin An saw someone looking at him like this, and he felt a little uncomfortable, “Yeah…… I originally planned to also continue our journey at night, but I was afraid that you would not sleep well.”

“I’m fine,” Xi Ning sat up awkwardly, “Wouldn’t it be better to go back earlier?”

He was still thinking about getting a chance to contact Ferro when he returned to the tower. Lin An was very repulsed about this matter, and only agreed to talk about it after returning to the  magic tower. Xi Ning felt that he was worried about something, but he didn’t want to tell him.

Lin An showed hesitation, and pressed Xi Ning’s shoulder to let him fall back to sleep, “Sleep first, we will talk about it after you fall asleep.”

He planned to use spells on Xi Ning after he was asleep, so that he could sleep more peacefully without any discomfort.

Xi Ning nodded obediently, leaned against Lin An’s arms and closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.

Lin An also rested for a while, cast a spell on Xi Ning in the middle of the night, put him on his back, packed up his things and headed towards the magic tower.

After walking through this area, they passed through the middle layer and arrived at the inner layer. Although no monsters dared to attack them along the way, he was also observing the traces of various monsters, and found that the high-level magical beasts all should be in the inner layer and the middle layer have all gone to the outer layer, and the further he goes in, the safer it was.

And the center of the inner layer is the magic tower. His initial guess should be correct. It is because of that tower that these high-level monsters have abandoned their territory and left.

The monsters were afraid, but Lin An didn’t have the slightest fear. The things sealed in the tower were originally part of his body.

Xi Ning on his back slept peacefully. Lin An was not afraid of disturbing him after using spells, and moved faster than during the day.

As the night gradually receded and the early morning mist drifted through the forest, Lin An stepped into the area where the inner layer was located.

This place is quieter than other places, it can even be said to be dead silent, the sun is gradually rising, and there is not even a low-level bird in the woods. Lin An took a few steps forward, thinking about waking Xi Ning up after a while, but he suddenly stopped.

He didn’t wear a mask. He frowned and looked up towards the tower. A strange feeling came from inside his body.

This feeling is not a fear or rejection of it, but an attraction, something is calling him.

Lin An’s right face was exposed to the air, and the blue meridians on it were swimming slowly, and returned to their original shape after a while, but Lin An didn’t notice it.

The strange feeling quickly disappeared again, Lin An’s brows were slightly relaxed, and he continued to walk forward.

It was almost time. Lin An stopped on the way, hugged up Xi Ning behind him to undo the spells, and walked slowly until he woke up.

Lin An lowered his head and thought about the matter in the magic tower, and there was an inexplicable hostility in his eyes, which he didn’t even notice. At this time, Xi Ning in his arms woke up and unconsciously rubbed against Lin An’s neck.

As soon as he moved, the hostility in Lin An’s eyes dissipated immediately, and he kissed Xi Ning on the cheek, “Are you awake?”

Xi Ning responded with closed eyes, he opened his eyes when he was finally awake, and found that he and Lin An were already on the way.

He raised his hand to touch Lin An’s face, and asked, “When did you set off…… are you tired, do you want to take a rest first?”

Although Lin An was not tired, he put Xi Ning down and let him step on the ground to move around.
