310 Where to Keep the System? (1/2)

Nie Chang slowed down the flying sword and rummaged through his spatial ring. Concentrating his spiritual energy on two things at the same time wasn't anything he had tried before and the sword below their feet swayed from side to side as a result.

Su Yan gave a yelp and hugged Nie Chang even tighter. ”Will we crash?!”

Nie Chang stopped trying to move forward and the flying sword stabilized somewhat. He once again patted Su Yan's hands. ”Don't worry. I was looking through the spatial ring and didn't pay close enough attention. Let's stay here for a moment while I find something that can be used to communicate with the system.”

”Can't we do that in the Jin He City?”

”Do you want to rummage around and then talk to an inanimate object calling out 'system, system' all the time while Elder Yue and the Sect master watch you?”

Su Yan froze. Uh … It seemed he didn't? ”I don't like staying in the air either. Can't you find something faster?”

”I'm already trying. Just hold on for a bit, alright?”

Su Yan pressed his face against his boyfriend's back and started to count to ten. When he reached ten, Nie Chang should have found something, shouldn't he?

Nie Chang concentrated on the content of his spatial ring in the meantime. It wasn't that easy though. Ziju An might have been an orderly person but he had also been a cultivator who lived a very long time and thus amassed a multitude of different things. There were weapons, herbs, materials for cultivation, even things that looked like ordinary day-to-day objects.

Unfortunately, most of these things were unusable for their purpose. The weapons had a surface but they would hardly be able to take them out in a crowd of people without causing a panic. The day-to-day objects or, well, the things he thought to be ordinary weren't usable either. A brush could hardly contain the system, could it? The most likely thing to fit their need was a jade scroll consisting of two dozen smaller jade-slips. He wasn't too sure if it would work though and maybe a jade scroll was too conspicuous?

He furrowed his brows and looked around further. Crafting materials, clothes, jewelry …

Nie Chang stopped and took a closer look at the jewelry. Even though Ziju An probably wasn't the type of person that cared much for appearances he had still placed every object down neatly. Some were even displayed in small cases or at least rested on top of a piece of fabric.

He glanced at them and finally picked up a bracelet. It was made out of metal and decorated with delicate carvings. The surface was still glossy enough that the system should be able to display whatever they wanted to see.

He nodded and took the bracelet out, once again patting Su Yan's hands to calm him down. ”You can relax. I found something.”

”What did you find?”
