Chapter 259 - Here Comes The Apprentice (1/2)

A thread of transparent fish wire comes into the room through the window.

It pa.s.ses by Lin Luodong’s face and goes further into the room. The fish wire is thin and long. If Lin and Huang weren’t staring at the window, they wouldn’t even notice it.

Huang Weijian sees from Lin Luodong’s expression that Lin already knows who has come. Huang is disappointed because his grandfather doesn’t come.

The fish wire keeps going and it slips outside through the door. Soon, the sound of struggling comes from the outside and everything goes into silence.

Has the guard been taken care of? Lin Luodong stares at the window with light in his eyes. A golden light flashed and the iron bars on the window are cut off like they are made of Tofu. A thin and soft hand grabs the iron in order not to make a noise. Li Xi’er pops her head out and waves to them.

The shadow of the cherry bay sways in the wind. The yard where the vampires are having a wine party is near. Lin Luodong can’t imagine how Li Xi’er managed to sneak inside without the vampires noticing. Li Xi’er is always careless, but she is certainly brave!

When Yuan Ye pops his head out, Lin Luodong realizes what this is about. Is his sister’s new apprentice the one to be thanked?

Yuan Ye waves to Lin Luodong and Huang Weijian, then they come to themselves and walk to the window. The window is small, yet Yuan Ye manages to jump inside through it. He opens the door. The vampire guard is strapped tightly and he has pa.s.sed out. Yuan Ye nods to Li Xi’er. Li moves her finger and the fish wire comes back to her wrist.

Let’s go. Yuan Ye pours a bag of powder on Lin Luodong and Huang Weijian and tells them to go.

The fish wire goes out from Li Xi’er’s wrist and entangles around the bedpost in the room. Li grabs Huang Weijian first instead of Lin Luodong!

Huang is surprised. Shouldn’t Li take Luodong out first?

However, Huang’s wrist in already in Li’s hand. She jumps down from the fifth floor with the fish wire on her wrist. The wind blows on Huang’s face and he can smell the fragrance of the cherry bay. The monsters are having a party in the yard and they’re a few trees away. Huang Weijian can smell the disgusting odour of the vampires. Normally, vampires have sharp sense and they should be able to feel their presence. Is it because of the bag of powder?

While thinking about this, Huang Weijian has got out of the high walls along with Li Xi’er. A young cultivator who is strange to Huang is waiting there. Li Xi’er puts Huang on the ground and jumps back in.

Huang Weijian tries to talk to the young cultivator but only discovers that the man is sweating. He is casting a strange spell with his hands and he is directing the abnormal white mist in the yard. The white mist covers Li’s body. Is this why the monsters can’t sense their presence? Huang Weijian is smart. Soon he understands how this works. The white mist can hide their presence and the powder is used to cover their smell. Also, Li’s magical fish wire is quite useful.

Huang Weijian thinks for a while and takes out his bald pen as preparation. The vampires had served him, but the bald pen was so shabby that they didn’t take it away. It’s just a shame that they’ve torn Huang’s old bag apart.

It’s like time is slowing down. Xiao Xiaomu focus on controlling the white mist and Huang Weijian stares at the tall walls vigilantly. Why are the three of them not coming out yet?

Then Huang Weijian realizes that the noise and laughter at the other side of the wall are gone. Is the party over?

Huang Weijian waves his bald pen and jumps onto the wall.

The mist is thick. Huang looks into the yard. Through the window without the iron bars, three people are running around, hiding from a bat in the air.

The bald pen flies out of Huang’s hand like it has seen a ghost. It rushes at the bat. Meanwhile, the pen is writing Chu s.h.i.+ Biao, the famous article written by Zhuge Liang, on its own…!

“Xi’er, you guys go!” Lin Luodong knows that he is slowing Li and Yuan down. He pushes Li Xi’er in a hurry.

Yuan Ye smiles bitterly. A dozen of vampires have gathered under the window. It’s too late for them to leave.

The bald pen flies to the bat. The bat turns around and doesn’t take the pen seriously. Soon, the bald pen draws the bat’s attention. It has finished writing half of the article and s.h.i.+ning characters are flowing out of the tip of the pen. A web appears and traps the bat.

The stink of burning meat comes. The bat is burnt by the golden web. Crystal would be so surprised if she were here to see this.

The bat, which doesn’t take the pen seriously, suffers immediately. The surrounding vampires are all startled. Yuan Ye knows that this is the one and only chance. He takes out two porcelain bottles and smashes them on the floor. The powder is everywhere. The white mist around them helps the powder spread. The vampires start to feel sleepy.

Their eyelids become heavy and they really want to have a good sleep. The vampires push each other and try to remain sober.
