Chapter 158: Stealing Feelings
As the name suggests, once this teleportation talisman is activated, it can instantly send people hundreds of miles away. However, the current talisman still has defects. The direction of teleportation can only be random and cannot be specified, which is very troublesome.
She has now learned the art of Apparition, but she is not as skilled as her mother in using it, and the distance she can teleport to is not very far. However, having this skill is better than having none at all.
I have already discussed with my mother that if anything happens in the Foreign Affairs Hall and there is a possibility that their identities will be exposed and they will be caught in the act, they will immediately activate the teleportation talisman. Although a distance of one hundred miles is not far for a cultivator, once the effect of the teleportation talisman wears off, they will immediately use the Apparition to escape. The farther they run, the better.
The temporary separation between mother and daughter was nothing. The mother would use magic to lock the blood connection between them and thus find her location. As long as they could protect themselves now, they would be able to reunite in the future.
The guarding at the entrance of Guixu Sect's mountain gate was not as strict as one might have imagined.
As far as I can see, everything seems to be even more backward than I had imagined.
At the sect's entrance, there was no large formation that was open all year round to block the way, so naturally there were no disciple badges that could be integrated into the formation. Even the photo-taking stone tied to a tree high up had become dull and covered in dust, and had long since lost its effectiveness.
Isn't it true that the main gate of a sect represents the face of the entire sect? Is this the so-called number one sect in the world of immortal cultivation? They are too lazy to even take care of their own face?
Although Zhou Ling didn't understand, she was greatly shocked.
Especially when entering the sect, she and her mother simply showed their disciple identity cards in their hands, and followed Liu Zhen in easily.
It went so smoothly that not even one person came up to question them out of curiosity.
Although Zhou Ling didn't quite understand the management procedures of a sect, if the security management was lax to this extent, Zhou Ling felt that the sect was doomed.
The journey was smooth and unobstructed, but when they were about to arrive at the Guixu Sect's Foreign Affairs Hall, they saw more and more people on the road.
Zhou Ling and Zhou Li looked natural and walked forward with big strides, just like many other passers-by.
But on the other hand, Liu Zhen, a true disciple of Guixu Sect who was walking in front, looked down at his toes, bent his waist and hunched his back. If there were disciples of Guixu Sect coming towards him, he would think it was natural, but in fact he turned his head very deliberately to look at the flowers and plants on both sides of the road, and nodded from time to time, saying that the flowers were growing well.
What a ghost!
Originally, the three of them, walking on this spacious bluestone road full of people, seemed inconspicuous, but with Liu Zhen's action, he looked very stealthy and instantly became a conspicuous bag on the road, attracting a lot of attention!
Even Zhou Ling and her daughter who were walking behind him attracted a lot of attention.
Zhou Ling gritted her teeth, exchanged a glance with her mother, and slowed down her pace in tacit understanding, putting a long distance between herself and Liu Zhen in front of her. At first glance, they seemed to be two unrelated groups of people, and the sight of them disappeared.
Liu Zhen, who was walking in front, did not notice that the mother and daughter following behind him were getting farther and farther away from him, because at the moment, he had more important things to care about.
At the entrance of the Foreign Affairs Hall in front, there were many people waiting in line to sign the team contract. Among them were a few people he didn't want to see.
Suddenly he felt a little regretful. Now that he had caught the people, and knowing that there must be many people waiting in line at the entrance of the Foreign Affairs Hall to sign the contract, he should have taken the sisters for a walk in the market, had some tea, and eaten some food. In short, he should have delayed time as much as possible so that the two groups would not have to get together now.
He had finally managed to snare those sisters! What if they heard what he had heard from them before signing the team contract and changed their minds?
I am anxious inside, but I can't show it on my face.
Before he even reached the Foreign Affairs Hall, there were already many people watching him along the way. He was really afraid that these people would do something bad and expose his deeds on the spot and tell the sisters.
"Liu Zhen, where are you going so sneakily?" A shout brought Liu Zhen back to his senses from his panic.
But when I looked up and saw the person in front of me, the panic in my heart was no longer just a simple surge.
"none of your business."
Liu Zhen tried his best to suppress the anger and fear in his heart. He responded in a cold voice and quickened his pace, trying to distance himself from the man as soon as possible.
"How come it's none of my business? The direction you're heading to is clearly the Foreign Affairs Hall. How come you, a jinx who only cares about dragging down the sect and your fellow disciples, actually found someone to team up with you on the eve of the opening of this secret realm?"
The man's teasing voice behind her was so loud that Liu Zhen, who was walking in front, had to stop.
He hasn't looked back yet, but he seems to already know the result.
As expected, I still couldn’t get what I wanted.
The pair of sisters who had been following him must have heard it. If they heard it, they would definitely try to get to the bottom of it and find out the news thoroughly.
Before signing the team contract, my heart finally died.
Somehow, at this moment, he didn't feel pity, but rather felt relieved.
Yes, his luck is so bad that he has hardly accomplished anything as he wished after entering the sect. Why should he hold on to luck now?
He turned around silently and opened his mouth. He originally wanted to take the initiative to tell the sisters the whole story, but in the end...
You turn around and find no one?
That's impossible. Although he was walking in front, there were people watching behind him. The sisters were following him all the time. It's impossible for them to suddenly disappear!
His eyes searched eagerly, and finally fell on the people who were walking side by side at the end of the long road, neither hurried nor slow, and gradually moving forward with the flow of people.
My goodness, when did they fall so far behind? Why didn’t he notice it before!
Moreover... it was such a long distance, and there were many fellow disciples walking on the road. Almost everyone was talking in a low voice about the secret realm that was about to be opened. It was a bit noisy. The sisters should not have heard the noise here.
There is hope!
The light that had gone out in the eyes seemed to suddenly light up again!
Ignoring the ridicule from the man next to him, Liu Zhen turned around and strode back, ready to stop the pair of sisters who were coming this way.
The secret realm will not be opened until noon tomorrow. There is no need to rush. We should take them somewhere else to kill some time first. We can come back to sign the contract later when there are fewer people here.
It's better to have good teammates than to be ruined by that person.
"Stop! Liu Zhen, you are so brave! How dare you ignore me!"
It was like a punch hitting cotton. The man who had called out to Liu Zhen earlier was extremely depressed, and then he became uncontrollably angry.
