The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 159

Chapter 159 : Will Get Used To It

The feeling of weightlessness only lasted for a short time. By the time their feet felt solid ground once again, a faint scent of green grass flooded into their nose, along with dense palpable spiritual energy.

You XiaoMo opened his eyes and discovered that they were standing on a very wide circular stone platform. The stone platform was about half the size of Capital Peak’s public square, made of some unknown type of stone. There were peculiar patterns drawn on top, similar to that on the teleportation formation that sent them in.

Looking in all directions, there was a white mist everywhere. This white mist was just around the stone platform, encircling it, cutting off their line of vision, making them completely disoriented.

Luckily Ling Xiao was smart enough to exchange the life saving stone for some information on the Paradise Realm from the independent practitioners. Thus they knew that this kind of thing would happen after the transfer.

You XiaoMo looked in all directions and saw no sign of the group of people who were transferred before them.

Ling Xiao found the secret signal exclusive to the Tian Xin Sect that was left behind by Lei Ju and the rest pointing to the Southwest. This meant that the five of them were already headed in the southwest direction.

As for the Qing Cheng Sect, he didn’t find any sign of a secret signal or anything of that sort. Clearly, Luo ShuHe didn’t plan on letting other people know which direction they went.

As they were scouting out the situation, the next batch of people were transferred over.

A few the Tian Xin Sect disciples caught sight of Ling Xiao so they didn’t leave immediately. Their faces lit up as they walked of their own accord towards him. On the other hand, the Qing Cheng Sect disciples discussed for a bit before choosing to go in a specific direction.

Ling Xiao noticed that they headed to the South, not much different from the southwest direction.

Then a few more batches of people were transferred. Other than those from the two major sects, there was also the Xing Luo Sect and the other four forces.

Since the Xing Luo Sect didn’t put in any effort this time around, they were treated the same as those from the Xiao Yao Sect and the other three forces. These forces and the independent practitioners made up five camps altogether and each camp could send two people over each time.

Among these people, You XiaoMo only recognized three of them. They were Xing Luo Sect’s Ding Shi, Xiao Yao Sect’s Mu Yao, and Ji Le Sect’s Mu YunTian. But because he and Ling Xiao altered their appearances that time, the three people didn’t recognize them.

With the passing of time, the number of people transferred over increased bit by bit. However, the number of people on the stone platform didn’t increase. All of the forces were worried that the magic herbs and demon beasts would be swept up by the people that were transferred over earlier so they hurried off in a particular direction after forming their groups.

Coming and going, right until all the people had been transferred over, Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo still had not left the stone platform.

On the surface, Ling Xiao’s strength was Star level, Two stars but he was not the most senior person among the people from the Tian Xin Sect. In reality, there were two Star level Seven star Elders above him and for this mission, it was up to them to deploy the people.

After the other people had left, one of them, an Elder named Shi finally spoke, “Lin Xiao, when you were transferred over, did you see which direction Luo ShuHe went?”

Ling Xiao shook his head, replying negatively, “No.”

Luo ShuHe was not stupid since the Qing Cheng Sect stole their level nine magic pill recipe. Although it may not be prudent to tear off their masks in the open, it was not the same inside the Paradise Realm. There were all sorts of dangers inside and life and death, one own fate lied in one’s own hands. Even if the Tian Xin Sect were to send people to kill them off, probably no one would suspect them when they came back out.

However, since the Tian Xin Sect could think of this, there was no way that Luo ChengYuan, that wily old fox, didn’t think about it. They must have prepared some countermeasures beforehand. Therefore, even if Ling Xiao did see it, they may not have really set off in that direction. After all, they couldn’t see what was happening outside the stone platform.

Elder Shi looked at the other disciples and they also shook their heads indicating that they didn’t see it.

Of course this response did not escape Ling Xiao’s attention. However, the smile on the corner of his lips didn’t falter in the slightest. Rather, it got even more brilliant.

The reason why Elder Shi was doing this, eight to nine out of ten chance was because Tang Fan had already warned him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked the other disciples after he had already said no. Clearly, he didn’t believe his words.

“Since we have no way of knowing the exact direction Luo ShuHe went in, we will now break into four groups and head in four different directions. I and Elder Weng will lead six people each. Huan Jie and Tai ShiYu will lead ten people to the South and West. Lin Xiao, you will bring the rest towards the North. Is there anyone that objects?” Elder Shi looked at everyone before his eyes finally landed on Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao smiled while saying, “Elder Shi arranged it very well. Let’s go with that.”

Elder Shi nodded and then started to divide them up. Since Huan Jie’s and Tai ShiYu’s strengths were lower than Ling Xiao’s, Elder Shi assigned the stronger disciples to the both of them. As a result, by the time he was done, with the remaining disciples going to Ling Xiao, the strength had been divided unequally. The ones with Ling Xiao were Sun level and below with only one Moon level disciple. On top of that, the total number was less by four people when compared to Huan Jie and Tai ShiYu.

Including You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao, there were seven altogether; five practitioners and two mages. The other mage was a level three mage, a disciple from Flying Peak. As for Fang ChenYue and Fu ZiLin, they were taken by Elder Shi and Elder Weng respectively.

Fang ChenYue wanted to go together with You XiaoMo but since he was only a third generation disciple, there was no way he could object to Elder Shi’s decision. Before leaving, he could only urge Ling Xiao to take good care of You XiaoMo.

As for the awkward Fu ZiLin, he gave Ling Xiao a warning look before tailing behind Elder Weng.

With Huan Jie and Tai ShiYu leaving with their group of people one after the other, only Ling Xiao’s group remained on the stone platform. Everyone was looking at him, waiting for his instructions.

Ling Xiao pondered for a bit and then said with a serious expression, “Fellow disciples, I believe you already know that the North is the most dangerous place in the Paradise Realm. We can come across very formidable demon beasts at any time. I am only one person. When that happens, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to guarantee the safety of everyone.”

When he finished speaking, apart from You XiaoMo, the faces of the other five people changed slightly. What Ling Xiao said was actually the truth. The season in the North was winter, covered in ice and snow and the cold air was rather heavy. Don’t even talk about nurturing magic herbs, even those with rather low strength would probably not be able to last for more than three days.

The five people did not understand why Ling Xiao said those words. They all looked towards him and one of them asked him, “Da Shixiong, what do you think we should do?”

Hearing these words, it was clear that they already agreed with Ling Xiao’s point of view.

Ling Xiao said lightly, “Let me and You-shidi head towards the North. As for you five disciples, you all can team up and go in whichever direction you choose.”

“How can we do that. If the elders find out…” One of the disciples immediately shook his head. This kind of action was cowardly. If the seniors found out, they wouldn’t have any face left to remain in the Tian Xin Sect.

“As long as no one says anything, no one will know. If someone asks, you just have to say that we got separated. Furthermore, this is the idea that I came up with. It has nothing to do with the rest of you.” Ling Xiao spoke assuredly with great composure.

The five people were very tempted by his words. In the end, they agreed with his suggestion. But they were still worried about running into Elder Shi and the rest so they left in the direction of Lei Ju and his group. Elder Shi and company knew that the Tian Xin Sect disciples already headed in that direction so they didn’t send any more people that way.

After they left, Ling Xiao leisurely fished out an incomplete map from his chest.

You XiaoMo quickly went over to him. He already knew why Ling Xiao sent the other people away since it was because of this reason. If they were to bring five people along, their hands and feet would be tied when it came to looking for the Dipper Herb.

Although the map was incomplete, the direction was shown. At the time Tang Hun obtained the map, he had already made the inquiries and as luck would have it, it was the direction where Elder Shi led his people, towards the East.

“Ling-shixiong, are we going to the East now? What about the North?” You XiaoMo frowned as he asked. If Elder Shi found out that they didn’t go north, he would definitely tell Tang Fan when they came out.

“Do you think the people from the Qing Cheng Sect will head north?” The corner of Ling Xiao’s mouth twitched slightly.

You XiaoMo thought for a bit and shook his head, “Probably not.”

The climate of the Paradise Realm was extremely peculiar. East, West, South, North, the four directions were in four different seasons, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter respectively. It was very hard to imagine that a piece of land could have four different seasons, but that was exactly the case.

The North was in winter, covered in ice and snow throughout the year and only ice class demon beasts would choose to stay in the North. Since the air was bitterly cold, it was hard to nurture magic herbs and therefore, very few practitioners would go to the North. Of course, very few did not mean there wouldn’t be any.

Although the conditions in the North were poor, if there really were magic herbs growing there, they would have to be high level magic herbs because only high level magic herbs would have such a tenacious will to live.

It was just that unfortunately, the last time the Paradise Realm opened up, a few people spent a month’s time looking for magic herbs in the North. However, their luck was bad so they didn’t find a single stalk of magic herb. On top of that, they lost quite a few people. Ever since then, many practitioners had given up on the North.

Ling Xiao kept the incomplete map and inclined his head towards him while chuckling. He then looked towards the East and said lightly and calmly, “It’s fine as long as Elder Shi doesn’t find out. If in the one in ten thousand chance that he really finds out, we can only kill him off to silence him.”

You XiaoMo was silent. As a modern peace-loving person of the 21st century, he rather disagreed with this kind of thinking.

Ling Xiao seemed to be able to see the struggle in his heart so he said cheerfully in a carefree manner, “Xiao Shidi, this kind of thing, after you’ve experienced it a few times, you will slowly get used to it. If you’re still not used to it, at the most, I will kill a few more people in front of you, that way, you will get used to it.”

You XiaoMo, “…”

In his heart, a little person immediately raised up his middle finger at him. My ass!

There was no need to force other people like this. If he really did that, even if he wasn’t used to it, he would get used to it and he actually thought he would say that he wouldn’t kill any more people in front of him. Looked like this fellow’s answers would always be contrary to his expectations.

“I feel that what you said is not quite right.” You XiaoMo suddenly spoke up.

“Where is it not right?” Ling Xiao’s brows were raised with interest as he didn’t expect him to find fault with his words.

You XiaoMo immediately explained eagerly, “You said get used to it. How can killing people become a habit? Then, in the future, you won’t feel right if you don’t kill someone? I feel that you used this word wrongly. You should say adapt to.”

The corner of Ling Xiao’s lips got higher and higher, “I stand corrected. Then let me say it one more time. Wait until I kill a few more people in front of you. I believe you will adapt to it.”

You XiaoMo looked at his seemingly glowing expression. This expression was exactly the same as the one he had the day after he had neglected Ling Xiao and left him in the cold wind the whole night on the Winged Bird. He suddenly felt as if he had grown a pig’s head, “Actually…just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

Ling Xiao licked the corner of his lips evilly, “No, no, no, I feel that what you said has a lot of merit. It’s just that, Xiao Shidi, you’re really making me look forward to it more and more!”

You XiaoMo blinked. Actually, you really don’t have to look forward to it. Really!

As someone who had lived in two worlds, this was the first time You XiaoMo realized his own attributes. It seemed like he was actually – an idiot!

In the end, this idiot was bundled up in a confused state by Ling Xiao to go searching for the Dipper Herb.

An hour after they left, a group of peculiar people shrouded completely in black cloaks appeared on the stone platform. The peculiar people were very tall and big and there were approximately fifteen of them. They quickly divided into three groups and disappeared from the stone platform heading in three different directions. East, West, and South.
