Chapter 173 Transmission Array

After Mu Chen reappeared and spent some time alone with Mingmei, he left. After he left, Mingmei sat there quietly, digesting what Guigui had said earlier.

Some things are better left unsaid, but once asked... Mingmei was stunned for a long time again, until the sky outside darkened.

She remained like that, immersed in Guigui's narration, sitting quietly without moving.

In the eyes of outsiders, she looked like a delicate little doll.

At least, that's how Mei Jiu saw her when she came back. Seeing her like this, Mei Jiu was worried again. By the time she came back to her senses, Mei Jiu was hugging Mingmei like a sloth.

It was very—suffocating.

Literally suffocating.

Mingmei felt that her little body was carrying too much.

"When did you get back?" Seeing Mingmei regain her senses, Mei Jiu reluctantly let go. Hearing Mingmei ask her, Mei Jiu replied, "A long time ago."

As she spoke, she stared at Mingmei with resentful eyes for a while, and then said, "What were you thinking about so intently? Fifth Elder came to see you earlier. If he hadn't said you were fine, I would have called Mom and Dad!"

"Sorry~" Mingmei stuck out her tongue, and then asked, "Are you hungry? Have you eaten anything?"

"No, I want to eat with you." As she said that, Mei Jiu pulled Mingmei up and said, "Let's go out for a walk."

Mingmei didn't refuse and followed Mei Jiu to the Bu Tian Sect's disciple cafeteria, where they happened to meet Lu Xiaoyao and Zhen Po, as well as Mu Chen.

"Hey? What are you three doing here?"

Mei Jiu was surprised at first, and then she twitched her sensitive little nose. An enticing aroma was coming from the large pot that Mu Chen was stirring.

"I made some soup. I was planning to serve some to you later, but I didn't expect you to come too."

Mu Chen warmly waved them in, but he didn't explain why the three of them were together.

However, compared to Mei Jiu, who was immediately attracted by the delicious food, Mingmei only glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw Lu Xiaoyao and the others putting something away.

The pattern and carvings on the corner of the rolled-up object made Mingmei recognize it as a magic array diagram.

It seemed that Lu Xiaoyao and the others did have something they wanted Mu Chen to help with, so they found Mu Chen who was stewing soup here.

Although Mingmei believed in Mu Chen's ability, she couldn't help but think, if Mu Chen hadn't regained control of his body today, wouldn't Lu Xiaoyao and the others be delivering themselves to their deaths?

This was…fortunate!

Not only was Mingmei relieved, but Lu Xiaoyao, who had received definite information, was already secretly happy, feeling that even if she didn't drink the soup tonight, she would still be happy!

That's what she thought, but her gaze kept falling on the soup pot in front of Mu Chen.

He had been stewing the soup for so long when she and Zhen Po came to find him. It should be ready to drink, right?

But in the end, when she saw that there were only three bowls of soup and none for her, Lu Xiaoyao was dumbfounded.

She waited here for so long for nothing?

"Why are you still here?" The key was that Mu Chen seemed to dislike this glowing stick of a person.

"I…"

How could Lu Xiaoyao say that she wanted to stay and drink soup?

Why was she still standing here after getting the information she wanted? QvQ

Thinking about it carefully, he didn't seem to have said he would let her drink soup.

"I just saw you rolling something up. What were you doing?" Because they treated Mingmei as an NPC, Lu Xiaoyao and the others were unwilling to reveal the information and things they were discussing, but instead treated Mingmei like a Doraemon, asking her questions from time to time.

This time, Mingmei asked directly. Whether Lu Xiaoyao and the others would answer or not, Mu Chen would definitely speak.

"It's about getting rid of evil spirits."

Sure enough, Mu Chen spoke first: "When they are tracking down the traces of evil cultivators, they are always one step behind and can't catch up with them. Sometimes, even if a crime is committed in the north today, they can receive news of the evil cultivator committing a crime again in another place with a completely opposite direction the next day."

"Could it be that there is more than one evil cultivator?" Mei Jiu didn't think so much and thought it might be because there were many people.

"No, they have a special tracking magic tool that has been locking onto the other party. In fact, it was that evil cultivator who transferred. Through a teleportation array made by someone."

Regarding Mei Jiu's guess, Zhen Po denied her statement.

"Teleportation array, so powerful?" Mingmei said, turning her head to look at Mu Chen, her eyes full of "It was the guy in your body who did it, right?"

Mu Chen also lowered his head to drink the soup, tacitly acknowledging that Xie Chen did it.

Seeing this, Mingmei couldn't help but smack her lips, and then looked at Mu Chen with the eyes of a scapegoat and a wronged soul.

"Then, have you figured out anything about this teleportation array?"

Mingmei lowered her head and took a sip of soup, then raised her head again, her eyes fixed on Mu Chen.

"We did figure something out, there are some tricks!" Lu Xiaoyao raised her hand to speak first, "Those teleportation arrays are actually interconnected, it's a cycle. Probably only the person being teleported and the person who built the teleportation array know the rules inside."

"Then why are you so happy? If it's really that complicated, doesn't that mean you don't know what it's like inside?"

Mei Jiu was puzzled. It was so complicated, so why did she look like she had completely figured it out?

At this, Mingmei couldn't help but take a few more glances at Mu Chen.

This guy wouldn't be exposing himself as the scapegoat, would he?

"But, this Junior Brother Xie said that since it's so troublesome, it's better to destroy some of the teleportation arrays. It's originally one set inside another, if one has a problem, the others won't be much better. Then the bug…that evil cultivator's range of escape will be reduced."

After Lu Xiaoyao finished excitedly, Zhen Po's eyes also lit up, and then she said, "Using force to overcome skill, searching the entire map becomes a certain range. Isn't the latter more convenient compared to the former?"

At this, Mingmei's gaze fell on Mu Chen, who was drinking soup. Mu Chen had already finished the soup in his bowl and stood up silently.

"I'm going to make some egg drop soup, anyone want some?"

"Me!" x2

Mingmei watched Lu Xiaoyao and Zhen Po raise their hands excitedly, and seeing this, she grabbed Mei Jiu, who had also finished the stew and was still wanting more.

Mei Jiu was dumbfounded, not knowing why Mingmei suddenly stopped her.

And Mingmei cleared her throat slightly, glanced at the soup she hadn't finished, and imperceptibly poured it into Mei Jiu's bowl. Mei Jiu's eyes lit up, she didn't mind, they were all her sisters!

Moreover, this soup was really delicious!

Mingmei naturally took in Mei Jiu's reaction, and of course the soup was delicious.

During the New Year, this soup was the result of her father personally teaching her for several days, and after teaching Ming Yi, he had a new understanding of Mu Chen's cooking skills.

The other party might be best at desserts.

Besides that…
