Chapter 150 - Battle Under the Moonlight (Part One) (1/2)

The rain doesn’t stop until 8pm.

The moon rises from the horizon. Like it is washed clean by the rain, the moonlight tonight is particularly bright.

Mrs. Lin is enjoying the cool air in the yard. Staring at the light coming from a bedroom upstairs, she sighs,

“Luoran never comes out of her room after lunch. I’m worried.”

Qu Yi uses a smile to answer all the questions he can’t reply, like a girl in a beauty pageant. In fact, staying in a room for a few hours doesn’t mean anything. Though cultivators in the level of Training Qi can’t Bigu (eat or drink nothing), they can meditate in a room for years if they have enough food and water.

Qu Yi wonders how far has Sister Lin gone?

His eyes are s.h.i.+ny. Will Sister Lin become the first of them to lay foundation?

Unlike Qu Yi’s imagination, Lin Luoran is not cultivating. In the quiet bedroom, Lin Luoran’s eyes are closed and a colorful light ball is floating in front of her. The light ball becomes a s.h.i.+ny bead after Lin forces it to compress.

Lin opens her eyes and carefully puts the bead away. She looks down and thinks for a while. She closes her eyes again, hoping to restore the Reiki inside her as soon as possible.

Goldie opens its eyes and checks on the back mountain now and then. It has been anxious all day long. Its eyelids are shaking — this is the special telegnosis of the golden hawk species.

Time pa.s.ses. It’s already 2 o’clock in the morning. A strong fluctuation of Reiki suddenly breaks out at the Qingcheng Taoist Temple which Lin Luoran has been worrying about. Everything goes silent within a few seconds.

Lin Luoran immediately opens her eyes. She gives Goldie a task, which makes Goldie even more serious.

Lin opens the window and jumps down, then she finds that both Qu Yi and Li Xi’er are awake. The strong fluctuation of Reiki has startled them though their levels of cultivation are low.

Lin Luoran shushes Li Xi’er before Li says anything. Lin Luoran’s voice goes inside their heads: “Stay at home. Run if anything bad happens… Goldie will take my parents and Luodong. You two must take care of yourselves.”

Qu Yi wants to say something in return but he is stopped by Li Xi’er who nods in reply.

Mr. Lin now has the sense of Qi. Though he can’t feel how high Lin Luoran’s cultivation is, he is awakened by Li and Qu. When he puts on some clothes and goes out, all he sees is that Lin Luoran flies up like a big bird and disappears into the woods.

The moonlight is bright. Li Xi’er forces herself to smile. She says:

“Uncle, I’m afraid that we can’t sleep tonight.”

*******

For Lin Luoran, a few miles of mountain road are not a problem. With several jumps, the overhanging eaves of the Qingcheng Taoist Temple are in sight — there are people on the roof!

Lin Luoran looks up. A skinny old Taoist and the woman in black are standing there face to face. The man should be the superior of Qingcheng Taoist Temple. From the Reiki fluctuation just now, the two of them should have already fought with each other.

Lin Luoran is well aware of her own power. She doesn’t have the confidence that she can sneak near them so she just walks closer openly. Then she sees that there is blood on the corner of the mouth of the woman in black, and the Superior doesn’t seem to be injured. Lin a.s.sumes that the Superior has gained the upper hand.
