Chapter 565 (2/2)
“Oh?” Although Tyrant was a little surprised, he still nodded to indicate his agreement. Fang Xingjian then looked toward Lilia, who was practicing her sword art at the side, and said, “Lilia, stop for a while.”
Seeing that Lilia’s face was flushed red, with heat rising from all over her body, Fang Xingjian said, “Tidy up and head out with me.”
With Lilia around, she could act as a cover for him. Moreover, he could also take the chance to nurture this disciple of his.
After all, records of Lilia’s identity had been almost entirely removed. So, she was the right person for the job.
Therefore, that afternoon, Fang Xingjian brought Lilia along and arrived at Boulder City in Northern Ice Region. The two of them cut across the air and descended over ten kilometers outside the Northern Ice Region. The moment they landed, Fang Xingjian kept his aura in check and changed his appearance.
With the control he had over his physical body, doing things like changing the corner of his eyes, the tip of his nose, or his cheekbones was far too simple. Such changes to the details of his appearance made him look like a completely different person. Even if many students from the Regional Academy had seen him before, they might not be able to recognize him with his current appearance.
The two of them walked toward the Pop Clan’s manor, arriving at the wall outside the backyard.
Fang Xingjian looked at Lilia and said, “Wait here for a while. I’ll head in and take a look first.”
As he spoke, Fang Xingjian performed the sword of Infiltrating Void, entered spatial gaps, and completely disappeared.
Seeing how Fang Xingjian came and went as he wished, envious feelings grew in Lilia’s heart.
Out of the Five God-Slaying Swords, the one technique which Lilia was the most envious of and had liked the most awas the Infiltrating Void. It allowed one to come and go as they wished, combining attack and defense into one. It was a pity that she had been unable to comprehend it. On the contrary, she was able to advance quickly in the training of the All-Conquering sword. She felt very helpless about this.
Fang Xingjian darted into spatial gaps and moved casually throughout the entire Pop Clan. With his current sword arts cultivation, he could do something like this with great ease, like a fish swimming in the water. In that instant, he had gone through the entire manor of the Pop Clan, then he eventually stopped in a garden located in the backyard.
The plants in the entire garden had been trimmed into various styles, and several hundred types of flowers were in bloom. The entire place appeared extremely beautiful.
In a pavilion located in this garden, a young lady, whose beauty could be said to be capable of bringing down countries and cities, was reclined on a long bench, with her white dress trailing down to the ground. The young lady’s big round eyes were looking at the flower in her hands, while her clean and elegant little feet dangled causally. She was the Pop Clan’s Young Miss, Audrey Pop.
This Young Miss, who was said to be the top beauty in the Northern Ice Region, was currently looking at the flower in her hands with a sad expression. It was as if there was something bothering her.
In such a situation, Fang Xingjian took a step forward and exited the spatial gaps, appearing before Audrey.
Audrey blinked and asked, “Who are you?” Her eyes were filled with curiosity and confusion, seemingly totally unafraid of the appearance of a stranger.
Fang Xingjian said nonchalantly, “I’m here to look for you.”
“Look for me? Could it be that you want to kidnap me?” Audrey asked with a smiled. “Aren’t you afraid that the guards will seize you?”
“In this world, there’s no one who can seize me,” Fang Xingjian said as his gaze swept past her neck and wrist. However, he did not discover the location of the necklace. Frowning, he asked, “Where’s the necklace that you wore around your neck in the past? Why don’t I see it anymore?”
