Story 11 - How to Save a Sect in Six Simple Steps (7)
While Little Spring and Daoist No One In Particular had a short conversation, I scanned the area with my divine sense, searching for soone who looked suspicious. I couldn’t find anyone. There wasn’t even a single individual who seed like they might be a spy for the orthodox sects other than the kid and .
The two exchanged bags, then the woman spoke for a while. Little Spring clenched his fists and then relaxed them.
The rchant bowed apologetically before they parted.
While paying close attention to his environnt, he weaved through several alleys before eting back up with .
The brat had the smuggest ‘I told you so’ look on his face.
“We could et them on our way back.”
“So, will you admit I won if we get ho safely?”
I nodded grudgingly.
He grinned.
We swiftly flew back to the sect while I kept searching for the assassins I knew would co.
When we neared the tournant grounds where our first concert took place, I braced myself to handle any oncoming attacks. But we simply passed by it with no issue.
Then we entered through the gates peacefully, in complete silence.
I thought that maybe they were already in the sect, waiting in ambush. I glared at a few demonic musicians and dread painters I didn’t recognize, but they just walked by.
Little Spring rolled his eyes and kept going.
We made it all the way back to my immortal cave. I hesitantly entered it, expecting to be attacked at any second.
The kid sighed and activated my obfuscation formation before grabbing my sleeve and bringing into the space.
No one had co after us.
Impossible! How could I possibly not be right? I was always right...
“Sister Lin, why do you look so stunned?”
Wait, did it not happen because I made a bet with his brat and gone against rule number 4 of Transmigrated into a Novel Club? Was that it? I’d broken my rules, and the laws of the narrative worked in the protagonist’s favor?
There had to be a way to abuse this sohow. Well, I could figure that out later.
“Sister Lin. I think you’ve beco overly paranoid recently.”
I scowled. “So what! Being aware and on edge keeps alive. How else could I have lived for a thousand years?” I straightened my spine. “Now, tell what you two talked about.”
“She just described the island from the rumors she collected around the port she buys her rchandise from. Apparently, the place is possibly massive, closer to a small continent that travels throughout the world than an island. There are mountains, forests, secret realms, and everything else you could think of.”
So it wasn’t like the small Alchemy Island turtle. Either it was on a much larger beast or it was a spiritual device made by an immortal ascension genius. I’d make sure to co along with the kid when it was ti to get his revenge so I could study it.
“She also learned that they were searching for soone, but it definitely wasn’t they were looking for. They might not even know I’m alive, but they probably know my mother has passed since they aren’t looking for soone who matches her description.”
I nodded. Seriously, how could I have been so wrong about this? Maybe the assassins would co later, now that he’s already won?
The kid hesitated. A variety of emotions crossed his face, ending in resignation. ”Um, Sister Lin, since the war is about to start, I was thinking about what we’d need. When she told about this, I couldn’t resist.” He pulled out a gold ring and handed it to . “It’s a set of high-quality sky-rank armor that you can equip at will. It’s almost heaven rank. But—“
He cut off when I slid it onto my right hand ring finger. I scratched the back of my arm to draw blood. Once a small drop ford, I pressed the ring to it. A connection ford between and it when my blood disappeared into the gold.
I used my divine sense to activate it, and a set of golden armor expanded from the ring and hovered above my robes.
Little Spring studied it with wide eyes.
