63 Busted (2/2)

After safely reaching the ground, Ryusei retraced his arm from her waist. Both of them once again started walking towards the clothing store whilst holding hands and after about 10 minutes, they finally found a clothing store. It was far away from their Inn and the items in the shop were also worth exploring.

Ryusei went ahead and started to look for something like a Blue Robe for her to wear. After some time, he selected a robe for her, then Rongrong covered her body with the robe.

The robe was large enough to cover her whole body while she covered her face with a mask. If he didn't already know that it was her, then even he wouldn't be able to find her identity.

After selecting the robe, they were about to leave when a man entered the shop and looked around trying to find someone, then he turned towards Ryusei and smiled as he approached him, he asked, ”Did you have fun in finding rats?”

Ryusei was dumbstruck hearing his words, he was shocked to his core. He knew exactly what his words meant, 'Did you have fun finding the spies?'.

Even though his heart was in a turmoil, he asked him with a confused look, ”What do you mean? What rats? What are you talking about?”

The man looked at him and shook his head and said, ”I don't know it means either. A guy came to me and gave me 100 gold coins, he pointed towards you and told me to speak these words to you.”

Ryusei was frightened when he heard this. He knew that this meant that there was someone who knew that Ryusei performed that stunt to find spies. Ryusei started thinking 'Does this guy really knows about me or is he bluffing? He sure guessed correctly that it was me who pulled that little stunt.'

'He even anticipated that this disturbance was to find the spies that had spread in the town and he was waiting for me to come down from a higher surface as that was the only place from where I could observe everyone.'

Ryusei looked at the man with disinterest and said, ”Well if that's all you have to say then go back. Even though I don't know what you're talking about but it seems your job is done here.” The man nodded and he left the clothing store.

Ryusei decided to keep watch against a possible enemy who was probably following his every move. Even though he didn't know anything about the guy, but he was damn sure that he didn't know anything about the construction of Eclipse Pagoda. He was scared that such a man was in the town and found out about him. But he didn't let it affect his plans.

He didn't know whether he was from the Spirit Hall or from that Nightfall organization. But his gut told him that the man who found out about him was most likely from Nightfall Organization.

Ryusei noticed Rongrong was looking at him with confusion. ”Don't worry about it” She nodded as he continued, ”But this robe looks good on you and it would be good disguise for you. Now let's go out.”

They stored the clothes within her spatial locket and paid for the clothes. After completing their shopping, they casually left the store and mixed in crowds while holding hands.

Ryusei knew that the spy was most likely following them, and would most likely try to find about their place where they stayed.

So, after mixing within the stream of crowd he used his domain for a split second and teleported away to a remote alley with Rongrong. He used it with such speed that except for some Spirit Masters, no one else even realise that they had disappeared.

After making sure that no one was following them he carefully left the alley after they changing to their disguise and once again mixed in the constant stream of crowds and started moving towards fields where Lin Yanluo and others were training.
