Chapter 47 Why Is She Here? (1/2)
Long Fei indicated for us to look up, and we did. It turned out that at the edge of the top of the table, there was a few ropes made from unknown material stuck to a piece of tape. On the edge of the rope was written ”Made by Fu Tu Kang”. It was exactly the same as the rope Zhang Quan collected via the Falling Treasure Coin.
“It’s a skillful hiding place.” Liu Shuai could not help but have a look of admiration, and whispered, “No people would touch the table behind the statue, even if in a new year festival cleaning.”
”Heh heh,” Long Fei laughed heartily. ”I don't know where this tablecloth came from, but it can cut off mana fluctuations. Thus, even if an expert were to walk past, he wouldn't notice anything unusual in the table.”
After saying that, Long Fei looked at my phone, “The temple will be closed in half an hour. All the staff will be off work. The old Zen Master will be the only one left, but he will also go out to eat. Even if he comes back, he won’t enter the hall. So it’s all up to you, Hao Ning. ”
”That's not a problem, but are we going to stay here for half an hour?” Liu Shuai frowned. It was really uncomfortable to stay under this table.
”Fine.” Long Fei thought for a moment, then led us out to a big wooden cabinet beside the table. This cabinet looked like more than two meters tall, so it shouldn't be a problem to store a few people, but the cabinet door was hollow and could be seen from the outside. Long Fei pointed with his finger, and the lock automatically opened. He let Liu Shuai in and closed the door, then tapped the cabinet lightly with his finger. After that, I saw Liu Shuai disappeared from inside. I immediately opened the cabinet door, seeing that Liu Shuai was still inside.
As if he knew what Long Fei had done, Liu Shuai asked, ”You placed the Void Illusion Realm on the door?”
Long Fei nodded, ”No one would be able to tell from the outside, but it's not as safe as under the table. If someone opens the door, they will discover you. However, it will be closed soon. No one will come. Let's go into hiding first.”
So the three of us went into the wooden cabinet and closed the door.
Curiously, I couldn't help but ask, ”Why is there such an empty wooden cabinet in this temple? What's it used for?”
Long Fei gave a wry smile, ”Back in the days, the Dragon King's Temple received a lot of donations, and it was even busier during the new year. The cabinet was used for some items that were used at that time, but those are useless in these years, so these items were disposed. This cabinet looks like an antique, so the staff keep it here.”
I couldn't help but sigh as I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps entering the Main Hall. Liu Shuai and Long Fei also heard it and immediately shut their mouths, doing a ”hush” gesture towards each other.
The footsteps sounded strange, because most people would immediately slow down after entering the hall, then bowed down and left. However, this person did not stop, as if he was not bowing at all, but was getting closer and closer to the statue. He then walked to the back of the statue, where we were standing right now!
”Could it be that old monk?” I had a question in my heart, so I looked at Long Fei with Liu Shuai.
Long Fei couldn't speak either, so he could only wave his hand.
The person came from the left, and as the cabinet blocked my view of the left side, I couldn't see who he was for a moment. From the far right side of the cabinet, Long Fei relaxed after seeing the person. Liu Shuai was in the middle, and the second person who saw the person. His expression changed dramatically and he almost shouted out. I was wondering why the two of them were behaving so differently, so I followed their gazes.
At this moment, the person had already walked over. When I saw him, my entire body was covered in cold sweat. I would never forget the person's face, ”Lan Ruo!”
