Treasure Hunting

Zachary followed Elva all the way out of the Bamboo Gully. She then kept walking towards the direction of Zachary's tent.

Elva didn't speak at all as they walked. The dim illumination of the moonlight revealed to Zachary the cold light in her eyes. She was obviously mad at him.

"You don't have to walk me to my tent. I can go back by myself," Zachary said, to break the awkward silence between them. He knew that it would be pointless to explain what he had done.

"Why did you give up on yourself and sink to such depths?" Elva asked sharply as she stopped walking all of a sudden.

"Huh?" Zachary froze for a moment, but immediately understood what Elva meant. It turned out that she misunderstood him and thought that he was there to peep at Sara while she bathed because he was disheartened by his serious injuries.

"Although five of your meridians were broken, they still can be completely healed. If you work hard, you will be able to become a warrior again. If you need any help, find me and I will help you. Just stop doing stupid things like this. And, don't let me feel disappointed in you ever again!" Elva said in an agitated, broken tone that showed how much she hated Zachary's degenerating behavior. She sounded sharp and straightforward, which was not her usual manner.

Because of Zachary's actions, Elva didn't behave like usual herself and lost her temper. He never expected such a thing to happen. Even she never expected it at all.

She didn't even know him two months ago. And now she was mad at him because he seemed to be giving up and degenerating because of his injuries. Such a thing was totally out of her expectations.

Elva immediately turned and hurried away as soon as she finished speaking. It was as if she committed some shameful deed.
