The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 59

Chapter 59: Pick Up

The next day, You XiaoMo woke up very early and was still full of vigor. Last night he refined magic pills for almost three hours straight , but that was with the help of the spiritual water. The effect was really extraordinary. He didn’t feel the least bit tired. He then headed towards the front of the West Side to assemble with the rest.

Just when Zhao-shishu was dividing up the people, Ling Xiao appeared. Not a minute earlier, not a minute later.

Upon seeing Ling Xiao, the Capital Peak disciples all felt very curious. Although he did go to the Capital Peak canteen the last time, not everyone saw him. Most of the people’s impression of Ling Xiao was still based on the rumors they heard before.

Thinking of the recent rumors, everyone turned to look at You XiaoMo. Ling Xiao showing up here most probably meant he was here to see You XiaoMo, obviously!

“Zhao-shishu.” Although Ling Xiao was here to pick up You XiaoMo, he was not that arrogant to ignore Zhao-shishu.

Although with respect to his status and standing, Zhao-shishu really was a nobody in his eyes. The original Lin Xiao was arrogant, but he had still treated the elders very politely. Since he was now playing the part of Lin Xiao, it was better if his character didn’t depart too much from the original.

Zhao-shishu had also heard the rumors about Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo , but he never did give it much thought. Now, seeing that Ling Xiao was here personally, and seeing the reactions of the other disciples looking towards You XiaoMo, he more or less figured it out. But although he understood, Zhao-shishu didn’t say it out, only asking, “Lin-shizi, are you here to receive the disciples?”

Ling Xiao raised the corner of his lips saying smoothly, “To tell Zhao-shishu the truth, Ling Xiao is here to pick up Little You-shidi.”

Standing among the people, You XiaoMo felt his eyelids twitch. Even if he was here to pick him up, did he have to stress the word ‘Little’? Although he was not yet an adult, he was definitely not the youngest one here. Among them, there was still one that was a year younger than him.

“Fu-shizi also wants to go ; if Lin-shizi doesn’t mind, could you let Fu-shizi go along with the both of you to the Central Lineage?”

Zhao Zhen nodded his head, with Lin Xiao bringing them over, he felt more at ease. So he didn’t object , and even handed Fu ZiLin over to him. Speaking about that, the one he was most worried about was Fu ZiLin. This disciple looked very even-tempered but in reality he was actually very stubborn.

“I don’t mind.” Ling Xiao beamed while replying. Zhao Zhen’s suggestion was what he expected. As long as it was not Fang ChenYue, any other disciple would be fine.

Zhao Zhen immediately felt relieved and called out Fu ZiLin and You XiaoMo.

The Central Lineage was not the same as the other lineages , since the atmosphere was more serious. The most unacceptable thing was being a blabbermouth or enquiring about the internal matters. Therefore, after Zhao Zhen called them up to the front, he strongly urged them to not do things that were uncalled for. They must abide to what the elders put in place. He repeated his advice to stress its importance.

Even though Fu ZiLin was as cold as ice, hearing these words , he nodded his head slightly. Although the action was small, Zhao Zhen knew that he understood. You XiaoMo didn’t dare to answer Zhao Zhen as indifferently as Fu ZiLin. When he finished speaking, he nodded his head vigorously and also said that he understood.

Seeing their repeated assurances, Zhao Zhen finally felt at ease and handed them over to Ling Xiao.

With that, the three of them headed towards the Central Lineage. At this time, the friendly competition had yet to begin.

You XiaoMo walked in the middle, strongly feeling that he was walking in the wrong position. To his left was a walking iceberg, frequently releasing puffs of cold air. To his right was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, able to turn into the devil at any time.

He didn’t realize it before so this was the tragic result. When he thought of changing positions, Ling Xiao’s meaningful look fell on him again and again, scaring him stiff so much so that he couldn’t even think of changing positions. He proceeded in this uncomfortable situation all the way to the Central Lineage.

The Central Lineage was located on the highest peak of WuShuang Mountain. That enormous peak was located behind the other four lineages , and behind that was an endless sea of clouds.

Ling Xiao brought them there via a relatively remote route so they didn’t meet other disciples from the Warrior Division along the way. Finally , they stopped in front of a huge temple gate. A black gold-rimmed plaque hung on top of the gate. On the plaque were written grandly two words: Central Lineage. The imposing air was quite extraordinary. People of lower strength would feel uncomfortable looking at it.

The person who wrote those words must be very powerful. Just glancing at it, You XiaoMo’s heart started to beat faster. He couldn’t help feeling his heart waver , but it was only for a moment. Although he was not a practitioner, his soul was stronger and more resilient than normal people ’s . This could not be separated from him practicing the [Heavenly Soul Scripture]. If it was other disciples, they might not feel this way.

Fu ZiLin was a level four mage and his soul force was much stronger than You XiaoMo’s. The power of the two words had no effect on him.

As for Ling Xiao, it made absolutely no impression on him. It wouldn’t even be strange if the person who wrote these two words would be in awe of him.

You XiaoMo shook his head and finally shook off that feeling. He raised his head and looked at Ling Xiao who was gazing at him. The latter was expressionless and seeing that he was fine, Ling Xiao withdrew his gaze. You XiaoMo then saw Ling Xiao take out a black tablet from his chest and throw it through the temple gate.

The still air started to ripple outwards. The black tablet looked as if it were sinking into a swamp, slowly being swallowed up by the ripples and finally disappearing. You XiaoMo had seen this type of phenomenon before in the library.

When he wanted to take the books off the shelves, he also needed a tablet. Later he learned that the bookshelves were protected by a barrier. If one didn’t take the tablet from the old man guarding the library, even if one manage to enter the library, they still wouldn’t be able to take the books off the shelves. On top of that, they would also be discovered.

Now , this situation most probably meant that this was also a barrier and that the black tablet was simply the key to open the barrier.

After having experienced it so many times, it was not unexpected that You XiaoMo was no longer shocked by these strange happenings. In fact, the happenings in this world had long surpassed the scientific reasoning he was familiar with in his past life. If he still wanted to use scientific reasoning to explain all of these unscientific events, he might as well put a knife to his own throat and kill himself.

Although the temple gate didn’t change, after the tablet disappeared, You XiaoMo knew that they could now enter. Fu ZiLin didn’t wait for Ling Xiao to speak, and walked ahead into the gate.

You XiaoMo wanted to follow closely but he suddenly remembered his uncomfortable position. Right at this moment of hesitation, his shoulder was pulled and held with a strength that couldn’t be easily denied. A familiar scent flooded his nose. If it was not Ling Xiao, who else could it be?

“Beloved Xiao Shidi. If you don’t want to walk, I can carry you in .” Shallow laughter floated above his head.

You XiaoMo unconsciously pictured himself being carried by Ling Xiao. Goosebumps immediately sprang up. It was really too scary of a thought. He then immediately ran for his life chasing after Fu ZiLin. Ling Xiao looked at his escaping back before raising his head and having a good laugh.
