Chapter 115: The Treasure (1/2)

”Yang Wei,” Elder Jing shouted in panic as she quickly grabbed onto his shoulder to prevent him from walking straight.

Yang Wei regained his composure as he turned around and looked Elder Jing in the eyes.

”What happened, Elder Jing?” Yang Wei then asked.

Elder Jing held a disbelief expression with an intention of just beating the crap out of Yang Wei.

He was about to walk in the beaming light blindly without checking if there were any hidden traps yet he had the galls to question her.

”Are you playing dumb or are you seriously ignorant at what you were doing previously?” Elder Jing lost her cool as she fired back.

Yang Wei scratched his head slightly as he really didn't have a clue about what happened.

'I remember entering here with Elder Jing and then somehow I felt like my conscience was becoming wavy until Elder Jing grabbed onto my shoulders.' Yang Wei exclaimed inwardly as he showed an innocent expression.

”Elder Jing, please forgive me but I didn't know what I was doing,” Yang Wei said in a serious tone, causing Elder Jing to become dumbfounded.

”You're saying that you don't recall walking toward that beam of light in the center?” Elder Jing asked, hoping to make sure of something.

”Un, I have no recollection of it until Elder Jing intervened,” Yang Wei nodded.

Elder Jing rubbed her chin slowly and said after a while, ”You might really be a descendant of a powerful cultivator since your body seems to resonate with the things in here.”

Yang Wei held a gawking expression before laughing it off. ”Elder Jing, stop with the tease already. If that's really the case then shouldn't I have some senile old man watching over me in the background, protecting me?”

Yang Wei was unable to believe Elder Jing's deduction as it made no sense.

He recalls his birth and that his parents have never shown any cultivation technique. They were only a lowly mortal just like the humans on Earth without any spiritual qi.

”Hmm, how could you be so sure that they were mortals at that time?” Elder Jing then asked.

”Uhhh-”

Yang Wei was rendered speechless as he only guessed they were mortal because they couldn't even resist against a cultivator.

Elder Jing sighed softly as she decided to leave this topic for another day since the most important thing right now is to figure out what that beaming light is for.

”Let me use my spiritual sense to see if I can deduct anything unusual.” Elder Jing said as she closed her eyes.

Afterward, her spiritual sense covers the entire area without leaving any nook and cranny.

Sometime later, Elder Jing reopened her eyes and said, ”There are no hidden mechanisms anywhere and it seemed to be safe to walk ahead.”

And she continued, ”However, we must still keep our guards up at all times since our spiritual sense can sometimes be faulty due to some abnormal things.”
