Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Hearing Wang Xiao’s question, the warrior had an unreasonable expression. “We’re very grateful for your help, but you violated the prohibition and entered the secret realm that has yet to be opened privately. We need to capture you and bring you back!”
Wang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat, but fortunately, he was already prepared. Without thinking, he lied, “Who entered privately?! Aren’t we in the dium-sized secret realm, [Extre Cold Mountain Range]? It was clearly opened long ago!”
“Extre Cold Mountain Range?”
The warrior was stunned when he heard this. He had heard that so teleportation doors were not stable and would teleport the lords who entered to other secret realms.
However, the probability of this happening was extrely small. It was probably impossible for it to happen even once among hundreds of millions of people. How did Wang Xiao end up encountering it?
However, suspicion was one thing. Since Wang Xiao had already said so, he had to investigate.
After thinking for a mont, the soldier gave Wang Xiao a look. The two people holding him down imdiately helped him up from the ground, but their hands were still on him.
“Hello, my na is Liu Wenbo.”
The soldier saluted, but his expression was still cold. “I know Commander Chen admires you, so you don’t have to be nervous. I just want to ask you a few questions.”
Wang Xiao nodded and Liu Wenbo continued to ask, “You said that you entered a [dium-sized secret realm]. Where did you enter the teleportation door?”
“Kaiyang Academy.”
Wang Xiao replied without thinking, “My vassal lord and I transferred to
Yuheng Academy. Today, we returned to Kaiyang to visit my class director and happened to discover that a dium-sized secret realm was open, so we ca in to take a look.”
“Together?”
Liu Wenbo frowned. “You an… your class director and your vassal lord are also here?”
“Right.”
Wang Xiao nodded. “But I don’t know where they are. I discovered sothing just now, so I asked them to take refuge first. Then, I went up to save you.”
When he said the words “save you”, Wang Xiao deliberately emphasized it a little. However, Liu Wenbo did not seem to understand at all. He paused for a
mont and asked, “What are their nas?
Wang Xiao was speechless for a while before finally replying helplessly, “My class director is Teacher Chen Xue. My vassal lord is called Zhou Xiruo.”
Because Chen Xue’s mission was relatively secretive, not many people knew her true identity. When Liu Wenbo heard this na, he did not think too much about it. He only nodded and two warriors set off to find her.
Zhou Xiruo and Chen Xue’s place of refuge was not far away. They were quickly found and brought back.
Seeing Wang Xiao being grabbed by two soldiers, Zhou Xiruo and Chen Xue imdiately realized that the situation was not good. However, in front of so many military soldiers, they could not ask Wang Xiao directly.
Just as Chen Xue was at a loss, a voice suddenly sounded in Zhou Xiruo’s mind. “When he asks later, just say this…”
Liu Wenbo first waved his hand to signal Wang Xiao not to speak. Then, he walked in front of the two won and asked softly, “What are your nas?
“My na is Chen Xue. I’m a teacher at the Kaiyang Academy.”
“My na is Zhou Xiruo. I’m Wang Xiao’s vassal lord.”
Liu Wenbo nodded. “Then do you know where this is?”
Chen Xue looked at Wang Xiao and was about to shake her head when Zhou
Xiruo suddenly said, “Isn’t this the [Extre Cold Mountain Range]? It’s our…
Oh, no, it’s a dium-sized secret realm of the Kaiyang Academy.”
Chen Xue looked at Zhou Xiruo in surprise, and Liu Wenbo also turned to look at Wang Xiao. The two of them had never had contracted vassal lords before, so they naturally did not know that lords could contact their vassals through their territories.
Seeing that Wang Xiao was looking up at the sky, the two warriors also shook their heads, indicating that they had not colluded just now. Only after this did Liu Wenbo finally believe Wang Xiao’s words.
After nodding at the two of them to let go, Liu Wenbo saluted and said apologetically, “Looks like this is indeed a misunderstanding. I apologize for my rude behavior just now!”
“It’s alright. You’re just doing your duty!”
Chen Xue forced a smile, but the doubts in her heart had reached their peak.
With her experience, it was not difficult for her to tell that the reason why Liu Wenbo believed them was because Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo’s answers were the sa. However, when did they discuss this? Why didn’t she know at all?
Before Chen Xue could figure it out, Wang Xiao, who had regained his freedom, had already walked over. He rolled his eves and said angrily. “There’s no need
to apologize. If there’s nothing else, we’ll leave first!”
“Wait a minute!”
Liu Wenbo stopped Wang Xiao and said seriously, “You might have encountered a teleportation door malfunction. This is not the [Extre Cold Mountain Range], but a new [Large Mystic Realm]!”
“What? [Large Secret Realm]?!”
Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo exclaid at the sa ti, as if they had really just found out about this.
Although Chen Xue felt that it was a little pretentious, she still followed their lead and pretended to be shocked. “A portal malfunction? I always thought that it was just a legend!”
The three of them acted flawlessly. Liu Wenbo did not see any flaws. He paused for a mont and continued, “You saw the situation just now. In short, it’s very dangerous here. You should quickly retreat.”
“Retreat?”
Wang Xiao revealed a difficult expression when he heard this. He pursed his lips and looked at Chen Xue. He probed, “Teacher Chen, can we withdraw now?”
Chen Xue thought for a mont and nodded. “The military won’t harm us. Let’s withdraw first. ”
…Alright.”
Wang Xiao nodded helplessly and reluctantly took out the secret realm key.
On the one hand, Wang Xiao still had to complete the mission of collecting information about the secret realm. On the other hand, he really did not want his first trip to the [Large Secret Realm] to end so suddenly.
However, there was no other way now. If he still stayed here even though he knew that he had “gone the wrong way” , it would definitely make Liu Wenbo suspicious again. At that ti, he would probably not be able to leave even if he wanted to.
Fortunately, the [Secret Realm Locator] had been released for a period of ti, but he did not see the signal light turn green. He wondered if it had succeeded.
Wang Xiao thought to himself and crushed the secret realm key. After a golden light flashed in front of him, he returned to the basent.
At this mont, Lin Xiang was pacing back and forth at the side. When he saw Wang Xiao suddenly appear, he hurriedly went forward and probed, “Mr.
Wang! You’ve been gone for so long. Have you already found that [Large Mystic Realm]?”
Wang Xiao was about to speak when golden light flashed beside him again. Zhou Xiruo also retreated from the secret realm. The two of them looked at each other and did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Seeing this, Lin Xiang imdiately beca even more anxious. “What are you guys laughing at? Did you find it or not?”
“Found it. The locator is also installed.”
Wang Xiao sighed and replied helplessly, “It’s just that an accident happened. I don’t know if the locator was successfully installed.”
Lin Xiang was stunned. “What accident?”
Wang Xiao was about to speak when he suddenly felt that sothing was wrong.. Zhou Xiruo had already retreated from the secret realm, but why wasn’t Chen Xue back yet?
