Chapter 289
The Dhar rooSu Chan had no idea what the arguht she had heard a bunch of death threats being tossed around while she was still packing her things inside the bathroomThere were also repeated mentions of the nashot fatherSo somebody, somebody had a naument stopped as soon as Shen You noticed both of their presences
”Good day to you, Ma'a at the landlady
The landlady acknowledged Yundong with a nod while Shen You just ignored YundongAt least one of them was polite
Su Chan could feel Shen You's eyes on her, but she ignored him as well
How about a taste of your own irl!” Shen You's annoying voice rang out behind them when they were about to leave the corn-door”Are you sure you don't want to stay here? You can stay here completely for free, you know? Just say the—”
Su Chan shut the door in his face, then so, beloved?”
Yundong returned her sht you'd never ask”
”What?!” Su Chan all but screa's ear”Y- You're the one who injured Zi Yuan jiějie?”
They were now so the path towards the Fox Zen School—it was a bad idea to fly around in broad daylight unless someone had invented an invisibility spellWhen they were at the foot of Mount Tianlong, Yundong had offered to give her another piggy-piggy, which she had gladly accepted
Her state because he had suddenly stopped walkingHis back felt tensed and rigid under her, and he was busy scanning their surroundings
”Beloved?” she asked as wariness crept into her psyche”What is it?”
Their cheeks brushed against each other when Yundong turned his head slightly to look at her”There's actually a story behind Zi Yuan's injury,” he whispered”But I'm not sure if it's safe to talk about it here”
They looked at each other for a moment before an idea struck Su Chan
”Ooh! I know!” Su Chan patted Yundong's shoulders repeatedly
Yundong looked a little puzzled”What?”
”Putrehs at the same time Su Chan loosened her ar's back until her feet touched the ground
”What is it, Chan'er?”
”Gi she'd brought away from Master's corn-door earlier”Ta-da!” She pulled out one of the talis's eyes lit up in interest”What does it do?”
”Hehe…” Su Chan flapped the talis stared at her for a moment”Um… Do I need to step away, or…?”
Su Chan shook her head”No, noJust stay where you are” She perforoThe talislow and floated upwards until it was hovering above their heads
Suddenly, the air in their surroundings began to shi+ft as water vapor swirled and condensedSoon, they were both enclosed within a barely-noticeable bubble
”Wow…” Yundong's finger paused near the bubble's surfaceHe looked towards her”Can I touch it?”
Su Chan bobbed her head up and down
Ripples forer ca lowered his hand and stared at her”What spell is this?”
Su Chan beamed at him”It's called the Sound BarrierIt's a spell from the Water Elehtful look spread across Yundong's face”Is it tay or…?” He shot her a questioning look”I ht?”
”Main”But people can't hear anything fro chuckled and pinched her cheek lightly”That's a pretty awesoot thereWell done, princess”
Grinning, Su Chan took Yundong's hand and pulled hi as they walked
”It was an act,” Yundong said after a while”The outcoht was planned”
<hr>
Su Chan stopped walking and stared up at YundongShe didn't have a codena to have several ideas: Su Chan, the Inquisitive Zhenren; Su Chan, the Zhenren of Puzzle… I don't understand… If you were pulling your punches, then how coot injured?”
”It was…” Yundong sighed”We agreed that Zi Yuan would pretend to loseBut then she also wantedat Yundong
Yundong looked away”Apparently, Zhang Tianhé wanted to test Zi Yuan and…” Yundong shook his head as he trailed off
”Yundong…”
”Yeah?”
”The Linggong Sect is in trouble, isn't it?”
Yundong sighed”I think so”
”Should we…” Su Chan bit her lip, then stole a glance at Yundong”Should we do sohtful look forain”But I's worse for the took her hand and they started to ain
The conversation between them had lulled, so Su Chan allowed herself to sink into her own thoughtsWould it be entirely absurd if she suddenly walked up to Zi Yuan jiějie and then asked her to dissolve the Linggong Sect? With her abilities, Zi Yuan jiějie could totally start her own sectMaybe Yundong and Zi Yuan jiějie could forether? Wouldn't that be nice? Ooh! They could call it the Purple Cloud Zen Sect! The ”Purple” would stand for Zi, and the ”Cloud” would stand for YunZen would, of course, co…”
”Hht Zi Yuan jiějie for real?”
Su Chan knew that Zi Yuan jiějie was powerful; she just didn't knohat extentIt was rare for Master to acknowledge anyone, and yet she had acknowledged Zi Yuan jiějie readily
”Like I was about to getchuckled
Su Chan hu said, then paused”During the battle, ht so that I didn't have to deal with her spells, but then she was daood at hand-to-hand combat too”
Su Chan turned her head sideways
Yundong see she's a ra Yundong to stop as well”So she's fast and fluid”
Yundong nodded and sraht her the basics of the Eight Trigram Palms because it complements her stealth spells like the Shadow Mist and would add to her offensive arsenal
”Did Zi Yuan zhenren use a lot of spells on you?” Su Chan asked as they continued along the trailNo piggy-piggy this ti stepped over a bunch of roots whereas Su Chan just floated over them”As far as I can tell, she used spells from three eleuided her body forward and then did a twirl so that she was floating directly in front of Yundong”Were you hurt by any of those spells?”
Yundong reached up and ruffled her head”NahIhit”
”How?” Su Chan tilted her head slightly”With the Fan of Seven Treasures?”
Yundong sreat helpSo were the mudras”
Su Chan did a double takeMudras? What 's eyes suddenly ide”Oh, yeahI don't think I've told you about thescratched his chin”When I was in Tibet, I came across this awesome book called the Mahamudra Tantra and—”
Su Chan lost control of her spiritual energy flow and dropped to the ground, where her feet got tangled up with so crouched down beside her in an instant”You okay?”
Su Chan rubbed her backside a few tirabbed her arm and pulled her to her feet
”But that's the Esoteric Sect's secret!” Su Chan exclaiain”I can't believe youpatted the dust and dirt off her clothes and s story short? I saved a Tibetan laift”
Su Chan gapedThis was unreal
”D- Do you still…”
”You mean do I still have the book?”
Su Chan bobbed her head excitedly
Yundong laughed”NoI returned it to the te draped his aruided her forward”I've memorized its contents anyway”
Su Chan turned around so quickly that she nearly stu smiled”Mm-hmm”
Su Chan threw her arreat!”
Although she couldn't see his face, she knew that Yundong was s said
Su Chan removed her arms around his neck and stared up at hi's eyes lit up with amusement”Why, I can show you now if you want?”
”R- Really?”
Yundong nodded”Not all of thehJust the non-destructive ones”
Su Chan glanced around a few ti smiled”It's fineYou don't have toraised a brow”Ready?”
Su Chan bobbed her head up and down”M smiled and raised both handsSu Chan watched with bated breath as he curled his fingers into his palers extendedAfter that, he touched his er of his right hand a slight bentAnd then… nothing
Nothing happened
Su Chan shot a furtive glance at Yundong's faceYundong's eyes were closed and his head was glowing in ever-changing colorsSeconds later, the glowing stopped
The Convergence of Five Qis…
But still, nothing had happened yet
”Namah samanta vajrana opened his eyes and slowly lowered his hands
Excite's hands”Yundong! Not all hope is lost!” Then, she raised her fist and shook it a few times”We'll definitely be able to save Master!”
