Chapter 59 (1/2)
“You… You’re in the Core Forming Realm!”
The face of one disciple was twisted in horror as he questioned Xiao Chen in a trembling voice. Wasn’t this sort of psychokinesis ability exclusive to Core Forming Realm cultivators?
Xiao Chen smiled faintly. “Guess.” He then planted force into the multiple areas of their bodies with his fingers. With her hands over her eyes, Murong Xian’er cried, “Don’t kill, Brother Xiao Chen!”
“Don’t worry, Xian’er. I won’t kill them.”
The two disciples could no longer move and the Mystic Skill in their bodies were also sealed. With their faces as pale as ash, they trembled out of shock. “What… What do you want to do to us?”
Xiao Chen laughed. “Nothing much. You two wanted to go back as soon as possible to notify them, but do you think it’s possible? Rest assured. Your acupuncture points will be automatically unsealed after twenty-four hours.”
Xiao Chen had used the sealing technique of the Mystic Cyan Sect. They had no way of breaking through the technique with their cultivation. Xiao Chen then took the hand of Murong Xian’er and smiled gently at her. “Let’s go, Xian’er.”
Once they walked some distance away, Murong Xian’er suddenly stopped and whispered: “Brother Xiao Chen, I suddenly don’t want to visit the outside world. Why don’t we go back to the Jade Valley and play with the deers and bunnies?”
Xiao Chen stopped in his tracks and felt a sudden ache in his heart. Xian’er was ignorant of the world and the sinister hearts of humans. For her to encounter something like this as soon as she came out, he feared that it would leave her traumatized. He really shouldn’t have gone out of his way to meet those two earlier.
He smiled gently at her. “Don’t worry, Xian’er. Can you pretend that you didn’t see what happened earlier?”
“But Xian’er is scared… Those two are bad guys who want to kill Brother Xiao Chen. I don’t want to lose Brother Xiao Chen…” Her tears swiftly flowed as she spoke.
Xiao Chen squatted down and wiped the tears brimming in her eyes. He said softly, “Don’t be afraid. There are actually even more good people outside. Why don’t I take you to see a good person now?”
Murong Xian’er looked up at him. “Really? Don’t lie to Xian’er.”
“Hm. I’m not lying to Xian’er.” Xiao Chen took a fairy fruit from his Divine Vessel and handed it to her. He then took out the Unsullied Immortal’s Sword and brought her to the Moon-watch Peak.
Half an hour later, the flying sword landed on the Fullmoon Cliff. Xiao Chen smiled at the white-clothed woman with her hands clasped behind her back and walked over. “Master.”
“Hm, I know. I’ll go over later.” Bai Ying was still looking in the direction that Xiao Chen traveled on his flying sword.
“Elder—Bai!” Xiao Chen once again yelled.
Bai Ying trembled ever so slightly before slowly turning around. She stared at him just like that for a long time. She belatedly noticed Murong Xian’er hiding behind him and asked, after a long pause, “Kid, did you have a fortuitous encounter?”
Xiao Chen was very disappointed over her reaction. Shouldn’t she become ecstatic, rush over to hug him, and cry, “Wicked kid, I thought you were dead…”?
Murong Xianer hid behind him and said timidly, “Brother Xiao Chen, is this sister the good person that you talked about?”
“Brother Xiao Chen? Sister? Kid, since when did you have a younger sister?” Bai Ying walked over to them.
Murong Xian’er pulled tightly onto Xiao Chen’s sleeves. Xiao Chen smiled. “Don’t be afraid. She’s the person who treats me second best in the world.”
“Oh…” Only then did Murong Xian’er finally dare to step out and handed Bai Ying the fairy fruit in her hand. “Sister, this is for you.”
Bai Ying took the fruit and looked at it. “This is…”
