879 The First Skill Probe in the Bound of Universe (1/2)
Yun Yang pulled him away, both of them beating a swift retreat from the city.
In spite of their haste, countless gazes were trained on their retreating backs with hints of malicious smirks hanging at the corners of their lips.
How could there be such idiots in this world?
There they were, admiring the Ethereal Amethyst right there on a busy street. What was the difference between them and a naïve child who roamed the market, hugging an ingot?
These people had met many death-seeking eccentrics throughout their martial careers, but it was their first time encountering anyone as suicidal as this pair!
It was a sight of wonder – a mystical encounter, the strangest occurrence in one's lifetime!
Both Yun Yang and Qian Duoduo sped along, quickly leaving the city and went back to the deserted area. They marched into a forest before Fatty heaved a relieved sigh. He felt his face burning as he spoke with shame, ”Boss, it's my fault… I should die for causing such big trouble.”
Yun Yang was indifferent, however, saying. ”Wrong you may be, but you're only thirty percent at fault. Your mistake is within my expectations, so it doesn't matter.”
”Since I've already expected that the item will be exposed, the consequences will naturally fall into my consideration as well. A child who carries a gem across the market will unavoidably attract covetous eyes. However, I can use this chance to gauge the so-called practitioners' strength in the Bound of Universe too!” said Yun Yang faintly.
Qian Duoduo was still ashamed despite Yun Yang's comforting words. He had just been appointed the majordomo and received the sect's resources for the first time, yet he had already so much trouble. He was truly lacking!
His leader was not unhappy and was even comforting him, but this was an incredibly grave error, one that could annihilate his sect!
”Alright. What we should think of now is where to locate our Residence of Nine Supremes. This will be the Residence of Nine Supremes' headquarters in the Bound of Universe, where the dragons soar; we mustn't be careless!” said Yun Yang.
Fatty took out a map they had just bought and studied it carefully, eager to contribute as compensation for his mistake.
”The choice of the location is not difficult,” muttered Fatty as he studied the map, ”The white banner has no benefits of increasing providence, but it's still quite useful. No matter where you decide to locate your headquarters, you can change that spot to your liking. It's rather mystical.”
”It can do something so magical?”
Yun Yang's eyes twinkled. If the white banner could work as claimed, it was truly a charm.
”It can only be used once.”
Fatty sighed and continued, ”Furthermore, only the exterior can be changed. Nothing practical or effective forms part of its abilities. That is the so-called façade.”
”That's more than enough,” replied Yun Yang stroking his chin.
However, what exterior did he want his headquarters to assume? Should he reproduce the Residence of Nine Supremes' frontage as it had been in the past?
It would be grand, but it would also be excessive. In addition, the Residence of Nine Supremes had already turned into a charm he carried around, would it not be redundant to copy it?
