Assassins [2]

 Alarmed, Xu Kai ran toward the treehouse as fast as his legs could take him. 

When he got close to the treehouse, the black smoke rising to the sky made his expression grow cold.

'Qing Xian!' 

Filled with indignation, a cerulean gleam flashed through his eyes, increasing his speed by several folds.

He arrived before the burning treehouse and fell to his knees. His body began to tremble and his eyes moistened.

The wild flames were reflected in his crimson irises. Turning away, he suddenly saw footsteps. A small one and four big ones.

He quickly followed it. 

He kept running until the footsteps ended at the shores but instead of stopping, Xu Kai transformed into his Skylark avatar.
