Chapter 97: Secret Passage (2/2)
Yang Wei quickly stretched his hand out as well before touching Elder Jing's smooth hand tightly.
Afterward, Elder Jing walked slowly while being extremely careful with the steps and tried to use her spiritual sense to detect the surroundings.
Alas, her spiritual sense seemed to be restricted here.
”What is going on with this Pagoda? The last time I was here, there was no such restriction and the environment is too dark for the naked eye to see.” Elder Jing muttered as she couldn't understand why the difficulty increased so much.
'C-Could it be that the pagoda knew about my achievement from before and is deliberately making things difficult for me?' Elder Jing pondered inwardly.
”Elder Jing, there's a secret passage here,” Yang Wei suddenly shouted in surprise as he stopped in a path.
”A-A secret passage?” Elder Jing was dumbfounded to hear Yang Wei's words.
She walked past the area where Yang Wei was stopping and she couldn't even see any secret passage so she was confused about how Yang Wei managed to find it.
”Yang Wei, you can see properly?” Elder Jing asked softly.
Yang Wei didn't know about Elder Jing's vision being limited because he didn't manage to hear Elder Jing muttering about her saying the environment was too dark.
Thus, Yang Wei answered back in an innocent tone, ”Un, I can see the entire path without any problems and the secret passage was pretty visible so I was wondering if this was a trap.”
Yang Wei wanted to make sure if the secret passage was another trap or decoy to lure the cultivators inside so he tried to ask Elder Jing for information.
Elder Jing held a disbelief expression as she stood in front of Yang Wei before staring at him solemnly.
”Are you telling me that your vision was extremely clear?” Elder Jing asked stutteringly.
Yang Wei nodded and answered truthfully, causing Elder Jing to twitch her mouth slightly.
”Then why didn't you tell me from the start and even hold my hand. Did you hide it on purpose so you can have skin contact with me?” Elder Jing started accusing Yang Wei of purposely hiding the information about his vision being clear in order to hold her hand.
However, Yang Wei was extremely confused as he thought Elder Jing's vision was clear like him but was just being cautious so she recommended holding hands as insurance.
When Elder Jing saw Yang Wei's innocent tone without any sign of lying, she stumbled slightly.
'I-Is this the reason that mysterious shadow asked for a Qi Condensation realm?' Elder Jing exclaimed inwardly as she swallowed some of her saliva nervously.
Afterward, she cleared her throat softly and apologized for accusing him without any solid evidence.
”Yang Wei, since your vision is clear then you will lead the way where I will watch our behind.” Elder Jing said and decided to take a risk in entering the secret passage.
”I'm going to cast a spatial barrier around us just in case there are some traps in the secret passage,” Elder Jing added as she cast a barrier around them.
Yang Wei saw the thick barrier surrounding them as he slowly took the first step inside the secret passage.
