Chapter 443: Chapter 181: A journey of 3 people, there is always a teacher! Shen Zhixia: I am so smart! _2
...
...
Five hundred miles north of Tiandu City, Yunlong Village.
A woman in a green robe walked slowly into the ancient house.
Her fair face was exquisite and charming, eyes slightly upturned at the corners, and her icy blue eyes were like gems, gleaming with a captivating sheen.
Gazing at the dilapidated scene before her, a ray of light flashed in her eyes, vaguely revealing the character "Guard".
The wild grass and decaying wood in front of her rose with a faint mist, swirling in the air, forming a shadowy image that swiftly rewound like a film.
After roughly half an hour, the scene abruptly froze.
Then, it began to play forward.
She saw a group of assistant officers of the Sky Scale Guard, dressed in official robes, enter the courtyard through an array on the stone wall, searching within the mansion, and among them, a tall figure caught the woman’s attention.
Although the misty image was somewhat blurry, it was still easy to discern the man’s handsome features.
He stood on the eaves, gazing into the distance, seemingly discovering something, and flew swiftly toward the desolate temple at the village’s edge.
The woman in green clothes followed the aura, tracking him all the way.
As the distance grew, the image became increasingly vague, eventually becoming difficult to discern with the naked eye.
Until she reached the Canglan River, the image completely ceased.
"Too much time has passed, the aura is too faint, can’t see clearly at all..."
The woman in the green robe furrowed her brows, murmuring to herself, "Can’t determine for now whether Chen Mo possesses Dragon Qi, seems I have to contact Lady You Ji first..."
She flipped her wrist, and a black beetle appeared in her palm.
The shell on its back spread to the sides, and its slender sheath wings were covered with dense twisted script.
The woman in the green robe infused it with a strand of demon energy, the characters swam like tadpoles, then were swallowed one by one by the beetle.
The Silence-Eating Worm is a unique communication method of the Demon Clan.
These worms pair up, can swallow and emit characters, relay messages over distances, and won’t trigger demon aura fluctuations, having high concealment.
The downside is that their number is too few, and the communication range is small, not exceeding a thousand miles.
After transmitting the message, the woman in green waited a long time, yet received no reply.
Logically, the range is enough to cover the Tiandu City, Lady You Ji should receive the message, failing to respond timely, something likely has happened...
"Could it be that Lady You Ji’s identity was exposed?"
The woman in the green robe pondered slightly.
Whether finding You Ji or approaching Chen Mo, a way to enter Tiandu City must be devised...
"An ordinary body can’t hide my aura, need to find a suitable vessel first..."
Swish——
Just then, a sound of something piercing the air came from above.
The woman in the green robe looked up, seeing a Flying Boat streaking across the sky, bearing a silver-hooked iron-painted character "Martial".
Then several other Flying Boats flew past, emblazoned with the emblems of several major sects.
"Is this direction going to Tiandu City?"
"What are so many sects entering the city for?"
The woman in the green robe pondered momentarily, then vanished suddenly.
...
...
Tiandu City.
In front of the training ground of the Sky Scale Guard, a moon-white figure was pacing back and forth.
Ling Ningzhi looked at the entrance of the training ground, biting her lip slightly, her expression somewhat hesitant.
The incident at the tavern made her feel both ashamed and a bit worried in her heart.
She knows well the relationship between Consort Yu and Chen Mo.
This time, what happened in front of the Imperial Consort, any woman wouldn’t easily accept it.
If the Imperial Consort bears hatred due to jealousy and intends harm on Chen Mo, what then?
"I wonder if Mr. Chen has returned."
"Would going in recklessly bring trouble instead?"
Ling Ningzhi felt indecisive.
"Daoist?"
Just then, a crisp voice sounded from behind.
Ling Ningzhi turned to see a petite figure, dressed in a pink floral dress, hopping over.
Her facial features were soft, her skin white and delicate, and her clear eyes were void of impurities, her dress outlining her slender waist and graceful curves, beneath the flowing hem revealed a segment of jade-like leg.
The entire person exuded a pure and sweet aura.
Provided one overlooked the ginger braised pork trotters in her hand...
"Zhixia?"
"Daoist, why are you here?"
Shen Zhixia bounced over to Ling Ningzhi.
"Just happened to pass by..."
Ling Ningzhi’s gaze wandered, feeling inexplicably guilty.
Shen Zhixia smiled mischievously, saying, "You’re here to see Brother Chen Mo, right?"
"I..."
Before Ling Ningzhi could speak, Shen Zhixia looped her arm around hers, leading her inside the Government Office.
"Come on, hadn’t we talked it out last time? I genuinely don’t mind."
"Actually, it’s quite nice, Daoist also likes elder brother, we can be good sisters forever!"
Seeing her naive and cheerful manner, Ling Ningzhi felt even more shame and embarrassment.
Zhixia opened her heart to her, yet she did so many "bad things" behind Zhixia’s back...
At this time, Shen Zhixia remembered something, a blush appearing on her cheeks, whispering, "Daoist, about what happened last time, please don’t tell anyone, it’s the first time I’ve done something like that in front of others..."
Ling Ningzhi’s cheeks flushed as well, snapping, "How could such a thing be spread by me?"
"Hehe, Daoist had severed worldly attachments before, not immersed in the commonplace, surely many things aren’t understood, right?" Shen Zhixia’s lips curled up with some pride, saying, "I learned plenty from my aunt, even bought storybooks to study, if Daoist wants to learn, I can teach you~"
