Chapter 604 - Troubled Times (2/2)

The old woman doesn’t notice Meng Jing’s complicated look. She just reaches out her hand to take a sip of water. Then she says, “You two continue watching the panda and Gao Ge. Keep me informed.”

Amidst talking, the old woman suddenly reaches out her hand to stuff a venomous worm into the ear of one of the disciples.

“Granny…” The young disciple immediately gives a terrified look.

The old woman snorts, “As a disciple of the Ghost Sect, how can you fear death so much? Rest assured. The venomous worm won’t kill you. It can only be of use if you want to contact me. It is a child worm and I have the parent worm. These are some talismans. When you burn the talisman, I can see what you see and hear what you hear.”

The disciple of the Ghost Sect is finally relieved with a sigh.

What the old woman said about fearing death is crap for him.

What’s about the disciple of the Ghost Sect?

Does the disciple of the Ghost Sect not fear death? Come on. Everyone knows that people only join the Ghost Sect because they can’t stand the pains of cultivation or they are too slow-witted.

If they can take the righteous path, why do they take an evil path?

Of course, it is a thought only. Never does he dare to voice it out.

After driving away the two disciples of the Ghost Sect, the old woman remains silent for a long time.

Meng Jing still stands aside quietly without airing her opinion.

Eventually, the old woman raises her head and looks at Meng Jing, saying, “Jing, let’s pack our things.”

“Granny, we are leaving?” Meng Jing says with confusion, “Are we avoiding trouble?”

The old woman sneers, “Of course not. We are not leaving but heading towards Qiu City!”

“To Qiu City?” Meng Jing is really astounded. Isn’t going to Qiu City now equal to confronting the Dragon Court?

Thinking back and forth, she still nods her head, “Yes, Granny.”

She can’t do anything about it.

The old woman just dislikes others’ questioning her decision.

Even Meng Jing has been scolded for that reason.

The old man walks out of the room. Standing in the yard, she heaves a sigh.

“I can’t wait anymore. Absolutely not…”

…

In a shopping mall of Qiu City, Gao Ge is walking behind Xia Lu.

He looks really downhearted.

“Hey, Xia Lu, when are we going back?” Gao Ge asks.

Xia Lu turns around and takes a look at Gao Ge, saying unhappily, “What? Is it condescending of you to go out with me?”

Gao Ge hastens to shake his head, “No, no. It’s just that Qiu City is in an uneasy state now…”

“Yeah… We are in troubled times now…” Xia Lu nods her head and knows that Gao Ge is telling the truth, but she is a bit irritated, “However, if you are shopping with Meng Jing, you won’t care whether Qiu City is in an uneasy state or not, will you?”

“Of course I still care…” Gao Ge touches his nose and replies insincerely. He is not an exceedingly straightforward man. Of course he knows what he should say and what he shouldn’t say. Even if Xia Lu is telling the truth, he can’t admit it!

“Enough. We’ve been in Qiu City for some time, during which we’ve been so occupied. I simply want to buy some clothes for you and you can get some fresh air too. I suppose it won’t delay you, will it?” Xia Lu stares at Gao Ge and says.

Slightly stunned, Gao Ge didn’t expect Xia Lu to think so. For the moment, he has mixed feelings and stays quiet for a while. Then he nods his head and gives a smile, “No, definitely not.”

“Let’s go. This one. Go inside and take a look!”

After saying that, Xia Lu grabs Gao Ge’s arm and walks inside.
