What left Lou Yueshuang shocked was that these men that were chasing after her actually sped past her. She was clearly in plain view but they did not seem to react to her at all.
After another ten breaths of time, those men were already in the distance, clearly worried that she had escaped.
”You know of the Enigmatic Art of Escape?” Lou Yueshuang stared at the scarred Mo Wuji in astonishment, her voice was slightly agitated.
She personally witnessed Mo Wuji scattering some stones and twigs to install something, and because of that, those men that were chasing her could no longer see her.
Enigmatic Art of Escape? Mo Wuji thought of the Enigmatic Art of Invisibility back on Earth; these two things really sounded the same. But in reality, what he did was install a concealment array. There was no spiritual energy powering this array, so it would be useless against slightly powerful cultivators. His array merely made use of the the various positioning of the stones and twigs to misdirection the men’s sights. In other words, it was merely a diversionary technique.
The Enigmatic Art of Invisibility was actually similar to a diversionary technique, but it was at a slightly higher grade.
Chinese history is filled with wonders. During the ancient times, a few impressive strategists made use of the Enigmatic Art of Invisibility to deal with their enemies. These included Jiang Ziya, Zhuge Liang, etc. But when the truth of the matter was revealed, this Enigmatic Art wasn't some daoist magic, but diversionary techniques.
The Enigmatic Art of Escape mentioned by Lou Yueshuang should be similar to the Engimatic Art of Invisibility.
Mo Wuji shook his head, ”No, I merely used a little diversionary technique. It's just a parlor trick that I managed to learn in my free time, it's not worth mentioning. I think it's best if you hurry and return before those guys return. Otherwise, it would be troublesome.”
”Many thanks big brother. I'm called Lou Yueshuang, I'm an intermediate class mana cultivation student at An Jing Academy.” Lou Yueshuang was sure that Mo Wuji wasn't a simple person. She immediately bowed and expressed her thanks.
Mo Wuji hurriedly asked, ”How do you cultivate mana? Do you absorb the elemental energy from your surroundings?”
When Lou Yueshuang heard that Mo Wuji didn't even know about mana cultivation, she started to believe in Mo Wuji's previous words. He really might have picked up on the Enigmatic Art unintentionally.
She explained, ”I'm also not sure. I'm only in the intermediate class. Only students in the advanced class can feel the mana from the Heaven and Earth and cultivate it.”
”Advanced students can feel mana at any time and at any place?” Mo Wuji spoke really quickly and in an urgent manner.
Lou Yueshuang shook her head, ”Perhaps some geniuses can. However, a majority of them can only feel the mana in a mana array installed by a mana array master. Alternatively, they could also use mana stones…”
As she got to this point, Lou Yueshuang looked hesitantly in the direction that those men disappeared from. She knew that she shouldn't speak to Mo Wuji any further, and that it would be best for her to leave immediately.
Mo Wuji noticed this and said, ”You should head back first. Oh right, is there any way I can enter An Jing Academy?”
Lou Yueshuang gritted her teeth, and after a few breaths time, she said, ”I can bring you in. Follow me.”
When Mo Wuji heard those words, he didn't ask any further as he hurriedly followed Lou Yueshuang.
He really wanted to know if those mana stones were spirit stones. And if those mana arrays were spirit gathering arrays.
There were six security guards at the entrance of the Academy. Lou Yueshuang brought out a wood token and showed it to the guards. Then she pointed towards Mo Wuji and said, ”This is my personal bodyguard.”
The security guards immediately opened the gates. They didn't even ask any questions. However, as Mo Wuji followed Lou Yueshuang in, he clearly noticed expressions of shock among two of the guards when Lou Yueshuang appeared. Ostensibly, they didn't expect Lou Yueshuang to arrive back safely.
One look at their expressions and Mo Wuji could easily tell that those two fellas were informants for those guys that were chasing Lou Yueshuang.
”Lou Yueshuang, those guards seem to those guys’ informants,” Mo Wuji whispered softly.
Lou Yueshuang nodded, ”I know. Actually, as long as I make it back to the entrance of the Academy, even if they have informants, those people wouldn't dare to do anything to me. They know that I left the Academy today, which was why they were waiting outside the entrance.”
As the two spoke, they already entered An Jing Academy.
Lou Yueshuang’s footsteps were slow. Mo Wuji guessed that she still didn’t know where she could house him.
Mo Wuji knew very clearly, if he wanted to enter that array, or obtain that mana stone, he would need to befriend Lou Yueshuang.
