Chapter 348: Chapter 288: Tender Village!_4
They started fighting fiercely, and in a mont, they had moved out of the pavilion, entangling in battle over the surface of the lake.
Shen Ye was about to step forward when he saw a figure plumt from the sky and hover in front of him.
This was a being made of light.
It looked like the layer of radiance that enveloped Mo Ga Ru during the Dharma Aspect Transformation.
“Who are you?” Shen Ye asked in surprise.
“Hmph, I’m just here to take a look. Tender Village is no good thing, rember to focus on your actual task,” a voice ca from within the light.
“Lord Mo Ga Ru sent you?” Shen Ye said.
“Nonsense, the task was mainly your responsibility, to begin with, yet here we have been, waiting in Eternal Night City while you didn’t show up, so we reported to Lord Mo Ga Ru, who ordered to co and check on the situation,” the voice in the light retorted.
“—Lord said you were in Tender Village.”
“I wouldn’t call this ‘tender’ at all.”
“Co to Eternal Night City, don’t ss up the Lord’s business!”
After speaking, the white light flashed, soared into the sky, and rapidly disappeared.
It returned to Nightmare World, descended into the palace of Eternal Night City, and rged into the body of a certain guard.
The guard instantly regained consciousness.
“How did it go?”
Mo Ga Ru sat on the throne, casually asking.
“Reporting to the Lord, using the badge’s signal, I quickly found the guard you personally appointed,” the guard said.
“He was indeed lingering in Tender Village—those won were fighting over him out of jealousy,” the guard reported.
Mo Ga Ru couldn’t help but chuckle:
“Heh, how boring, Baxter.”
“Lord, should we issue a punishnt?” the guard inquired.
“No need; I indeed gave him ti to deal with his matters, and he hasn’t exceeded the ti limit by much,” Mo Ga Ru said.
“As for now—go find Lord Nine Phases, tell him I wish to see him.”
“Yes!”
…
The light had left.
The two won imdiately ceased their fight.
“Shen Ye, what was that thing just now?” Xiao ngyu asked.
“Yeah, what was that thing?” Song Yinchen also asked.
“I don’t know, so sort of monster, perhaps,” said Shen Ye.
Shen Ye felt utterly weary.
—This was a day entirely within the scope of the prophecy; if he did anything that might threaten Mo Ga Ru, it would be recorded in the prophetic verses.
Therefore, he could not do anything on this day.
And after it was over, he even sent soone to take a look.
Too suspicious.
But now he had narrowly passed the test.
There were two more days until Mo Ga Ru would cast “Death’s Prophetic Verses” again.
Two whole days!
He had to hasten any action!
“Brother, are you avoiding sothing? I’m ready to fight,” Song Yinchen volunteered bravely.
Xiao ngyu was also looking at him.
A wave of hesitation passed through Shen Ye’s heart… truthfully, I’d also like to spend ti doing howork with you, attending classes, and such.
But Mo Ga Ru is at the Eightfold Peak of the Law Realm.
I’m sorry.
I really don’t dare to bring you along.
Yet—
It seems I can’t afford to offend you two either.
What to do?
“There’s no help for it; this is a combat task assigned by the teacher, and no one else can intervene,” Shen Ye said solemnly.
Song Yinchen and Xiao ngyu exchanged glances once again, then both looked at him.
“Really!” Shen Ye said, standing tall and firm.
“Do you have a phone?” Xiao ngyu asked.
“Yes,” Song Yinchen said.
“Call,” said Xiao ngyu.
“Okay.”
The call was made.
Beep—beep—beep—
“Hello?” Xu Xingke’s voice ca through the receiver.
“Teacher, didn’t you go on a campaign? Why have you co back?” Song Yinchen asked.
“So boring, the expert on the other side won’t fight; I ca back to rest for a bit,” Xu Xingke said indifferently.
“Teacher, I want to ask about the combat task you assigned to Shen Ye, can I participate?” Song Yinchen said.
“Combat mission? I didn’t assign him any combat mission,” said Xu Xingke.
Song Yinchen and Xiao ngyu’s beautiful eyes widened as they looked towards Shen Ye.
Who knew Xu Xingke’s voice would co through the earpiece again:
“What I assigned him was an extrely secret combat reconnaissance mission. None of you should interfere. It’s related to his professional growth; don’t ss it up for him,” he said.
Shen Ye had just about resigned himself to his fate when his teacher revealed such a turnaround. He imdiately felt revived and silently gave his teacher a thumbs-up in his heart.
In contrast, the two won retracted their murderous intent.
One with a full face of apology.
One looking down sheepishly.
“But teacher, Shen Ye has a spirit of the Eightfold Realms in him. What’s that about?” asked Song Yinchen.
“Oh my goodness? A spirit of the Eightfold?,” exclaid Xu Xingke in surprise.
“You didn’t know?” Song Yinchen raised her voice.
“Of course, I didn’t know. I rember not long ago he was at the Sevenfold Peak Realm, is he really Eightfold now?” said Xu Xingke in a calm, yet not entirely composed, tone.
“He is Eightfold!” confird Song Yinchen.
“Okay, don’t worry about it. It was specially prepared for him to seal the bugs,” Xu Xingke grew more composed.
His tone of speaking gave a sense of reliability and steadiness.
Shen Ye straightened his back even more.
Sure enough, people who don’t often lie are quite sothing when they do.
“So that’s how it is. But is it really safe?”
Xiao ngyu interjected.
Xu Xingke paused for a mont as if recalling who this female voice belonged to, then he said:
“It’s very safe, don’t worry. That spirit has a good relationship with ; we won’t harm Shen Ye.”
With Xu Xingke, the leader of the Tower of Tarot, giving his assurance, the two won finally set their minds at ease.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xu Xingke hung up the call.
“Sorry, I’m still on a mission. I have to rush to the next step of combat exploration now—I’ll leave you two for now and catch up with you for dinner later,” said Shen Ye gratefully.
“You don’t need to be polite with , my life was saved by you,” said Song Yinchen with a charming smile.
“And I was planning to spar with you to enhance our combat skills. Never mind, we can talk about it when you get back,” Xiao ngyu also revealed a faint smile.
“All right, I’m go now,” said Shen Ye hastily.
Without any reservations, he opened a door and walked through it.
In the pavilion of the Song Family’s back garden.
Only Song Yinchen and Xiao ngyu were left.
“I won’t keep you any longer,”
said Song Yinchen.
“You can’t keep anyway,” Xiao ngyu replied.
She rose into the sky, turned into a streak of sword light, and vanished in a flash.
Song Yinchen glanced at it, pondered for a mont, and already understood the key to Sword Flight.
She made a face towards the direction in which Xiao ngyu had flown away.
—No way I’m going to fly like you.
I can perform Law Realm Shuttle!
She thought about it, reached out into the air, and gave a gentle tug.
No door appeared.
“How interesting, why can’t I do it?” She tried with curiosity.
But after a long ti—
She still couldn’t do it.
Now, Song Yinchen really found it strange.
“Unbelievable. Aren’t all the schools of thod in the world sothing you can master once you learn them? Weilan?” she asked.
A maid appeared silently beside her, her expression sowhat complicated.
To be honest.
How could every school of thod in the world be mastered just by learning?
If that were the case, wouldn’t there be experts everywhere, with no class stratification in the mortal world?
But the young lady thought so.
—Because whatever she learned, she would master.
—And because she had been constrained by her sister for too long.
But now, she finally encountered sothing she couldn’t learn.
How should Weilan explain it to her?
“Miss,” the maid nad Weilan gritted her teeth and whispered, “haven’t you noticed? Shen Ye is a man, perhaps only n can learn this skill?”
Song Yinchen’s fingers retracted as if they had touched electricity.
Indeed.
For instance, she would never enter a male restroom.
“That’s true, oh, Weilan, look at this head of mine, I’m so silly!” she exclaid.
She gave up on her exploration of the “door.”
