Chapter 176

Hiding

After Chu Shen and his mom grieved, they buried Chu Bai. Together they spent an entire day before Chu Bai’s grave. Chu Lai sighed before slowly getting up from her pose on the ground. “Remember to always be vigilant son. Even the strongest warrior can be ambushed. If your father wasn’t taken by surprise, that man wouldn’t have been able to hurt him at all.”

Chu Shen got up as well. “I know mom. Anyway, let me take you back to the Majestic Sword Academy. The Heavenly Treasure Pavilion will be disappearing in three days. I believe I can hide you at the school until then. Go ahead and put this on.” He handed her a Chain of Transportation.

Chu Lai put it on. “I believe that the Blazing Tiger shouldn’t be able to find us in three days. Let’s go then.”

Chu Shen pulled out a communication device. “Hey Lucas, mid teleporting over here? I’ve got my mom here and we need a fast ride to the academy.”

Lucas’ voice came from the coin sized communicator with a slight metallic tinge to it. “Don’t worry Chu Shen. I’ll be there in about five minutes. I’ve got to stop forging a weapon here so I can get you.”

Chu Lai looked puzzled. “How is he going to get here so fast?”

Chu Shen smiled. “Don’t worry mom, you’ll understand soon enough.”

After a little while, Lucas appeared in front of them. He looked at Chu Lai with surprise. “Oh? Is this your mother Chu Shen?”

Chu Shen nodded. “Yep. Mind taking us back to the Majestic Sword Academy?”

Chu Lai was surprised but she wasn’t shocked. Finally, she asked curiously. “You can teleport so you must have the s.p.a.ce element. However, I wasn’t aware that one could teleport another person as well. My husband never could at least. Also, the Majestic Sword Academy has a spatial barrier. If I remember correctly, you should be able to teleport out but not in without the proper authorization.”

Lucas smiled. “Well, my ‘element’ is a bit unique. It’s the first I’ve heard of a spatial barrier but I also haven’t tried to teleport straight to Majestic Sword Academy. Just to be on the safe side, we’ll teleport where we first did, right outside the academy.”

They disappeared right after lucas finished and then reappeared at the bottom of the mountain. Chu Lai gasped, now truly shocked at the change. “H-h-how?! How strong are you?!”

Lucas grinned. “I’m definitely stronger than you can imagine.”

Lucas turned towards Chu Shen. “So, did you get to meet your dad?”

Chu Shen shook his head sadly. “The Blazing Tiger Sect killed him. They were going to capture me and threaten to kill me to force my mom to work for them. Fortunately they didn’t realize how strong I was. They managed to escape so they’re going to be coming after us soon.”

Lucas grimaced. “I’m sorry Chu Shen, I didn’t know.”

Chu Shen sighed before shaking his head. “Don’t worry, I don’t blame you for anything. So, we know that the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion will be going to your dimension next. I was thinking that we could hide my mom there somewhere to protect her.”

Lucas adopted a thoughtful look and started to slowly nod. “Yeah, I think we can arrange that. At the very least, she can live on a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p for a little while.”

Chu Shen nodded. “Thanks, that’ll be really helpful.” He turned towards his mom. “I’ll take you to my house and you can stay there for the next three days. After that, you can depart with the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.”
