Chapter 47
Chapter 47 Why Is She Here?
Long Fei indicated for us to look up, and we did. It turned out that at the edge of the top of the table, there was a few ropes made from unknown material stuck to a piece of tape. On the edge of the rope was written “Made by Fu Tu Kang”. It was exactly the same as the rope Zhang Quan collected via the Falling Treasure Coin.
“It’s a skillful hiding place.” Liu Shuai could not help but have a look of admiration, and whispered, “No people would touch the table behind the statue, even if in a new year festival cleaning.”
“Heh heh,” Long Fei laughed heartily. “I don’t know where this tablecloth came from, but it can cut off mana fluctuations. Thus, even if an expert were to walk past, he wouldn’t notice anything unusual in the table.”
After saying that, Long Fei looked at my phone, “The temple will be closed in half an hour. All the staff will be off work. The old Zen Master will be the only one left, but he will also go out to eat. Even if he comes back, he won’t enter the hall. So it’s all up to you, Hao Ning. ”
“That’s not a problem, but are we going to stay here for half an hour?” Liu Shuai frowned. It was really uncomfortable to stay under this table.
“Fine.” Long Fei thought for a moment, then led us out to a big wooden cabinet beside the table. This cabinet looked like more than two meters tall, so it shouldn’t be a problem to store a few people, but the cabinet door was hollow and could be seen from the outside. Long Fei pointed with his finger, and the lock automatically opened. He let Liu Shuai in and closed the door, then tapped the cabinet lightly with his finger. After that, I saw Liu Shuai disappeared from inside. I immediately opened the cabinet door, seeing that Liu Shuai was still inside.
As if he knew what Long Fei had done, Liu Shuai asked, “You placed the Void Illusion Realm on the door?”
Long Fei nodded, “No one would be able to tell from the outside, but it’s not as safe as under the table. If someone opens the door, they will discover you. However, it will be closed soon. No one will come. Let’s go into hiding first.”
So the three of us went into the wooden cabinet and closed the door.
Curiously, I couldn’t help but ask, “Why is there such an empty wooden cabinet in this temple? What’s it used for?”
Long Fei gave a wry smile, “Back in the days, the Dragon King’s Temple received a lot of donations, and it was even busier during the new year. The cabinet was used for some items that were used at that time, but those are useless in these years, so these items were disposed. This cabinet looks like an antique, so the staff keep it here.”
I couldn’t help but sigh as I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps entering the Main Hall. Liu Shuai and Long Fei also heard it and immediately shut their mouths, doing a “hush” gesture towards each other.
The footsteps sounded strange, because most people would immediately slow down after entering the hall, then bowed down and left. However, this person did not stop, as if he was not bowing at all, but was getting closer and closer to the statue. He then walked to the back of the statue, where we were standing right now!
“Could it be that old monk?” I had a question in my heart, so I looked at Long Fei with Liu Shuai.
Long Fei couldn’t speak either, so he could only wave his hand.
The person came from the left, and as the cabinet blocked my view of the left side, I couldn’t see who he was for a moment. From the far right side of the cabinet, Long Fei relaxed after seeing the person. Liu Shuai was in the middle, and the second person who saw the person. His expression changed dramatically and he almost shouted out. I was wondering why the two of them were behaving so differently, so I followed their gazes.
At this moment, the person had already walked over. When I saw him, my entire body was covered in cold sweat. I would never forget the person’s face, “Lan Ruo!”
Everything happened because of her. She was the one who lost Zhou Yuan’s soul, used Immortal Tying Rope to trap Yan, and caused Liu Shuai to lose his mana. All of this was because of her. Wasn’t she dead? Was she still alive that night? What was she doing here? This would be troublesome. With our current situation, if she were to attack us, would we be able to withstand it?
As I thought this, Lan Ruo looked at the cabinet. Obviously she didn’t see us. She also pointed at the cabinet, and with a “Pa Da” sound, the lock on the cabinet opened again, causing my hairs to stand on end. I had no time to think about those questions, but immediately pulled the cabinet door from the in-side. Seeing me doing this, Liu Shuai and Long Fei also helped to pull the door hard.
Although Lan Ruo had powerful mana, she did not seem to have much force. Seeing that the cabinet door could not be opened, she frowned, looked around, and hid under the table.
Liu Shuai and I nervously looked at each other. We only came here to get an Immortal Tying Rope. Why did we meet this person? None of us dared to speak, as we were afraid that Lan Ruo would hear us. After thinking for a long time, I took out my phone and typed a few words on it for Liu Shuai to see: “Why is she here? Can you deal with her now? ”
Liu Shuai shook his head and also took out his own phone, “I don’t know. I don’t have any mana right now. ”
“Then what about Long Fei?” I continued typing.
“Who is this person? Why is she here?” Long Fei saw that we were typing and also took out his phone to type like we did.
I couldn’t care about the details of why a Dragon God would have a phone anymore. I typed, “She is the one who lost Zhou Yuan’s soul. Can you handle her? ”
“I don’t know. Is she powerful?” Long Fei asked.
Liu Shuai thought for a moment, sighed, and wrote a line of words for Long Fei to see, “Can you deal with people who know the Two Realm Division Technique and can summon the Thunder Sovereign of the Nine Heavens?”
After Long Fei saw this, his eyes widened, and his head shook like a rattle drum, “No way. I can only summon an ordinary thunder rain. I’m not familiar with this Void Illusion Realm yet.”
“Since that’s the case, let’s wait here for her to leave before we act.” I thought for a moment, then typed, “We’ll tell Zhang Quan and Zhang Chi Hang later to see if there’s anything they can do.”
Situation out-weighted personal intentions. Long Fei nodded, while Liu Shuai frowned. His fists were clenched, and his entire body was trembling. I knew what he was thinking. After all, this evil woman harmed him and his brother badly. He might be very upset for not having the ability to take revenge.
I firmly grabbed Liu Shuai’s shoulder. Liu Shuai looked at me and slowly nodded.
After a while, we heard the front door of the hall close, and after a while, we heard the door of the outer hall close. It seemed that the staff had all left, but we did not dare move. After all, Lan Ruo was still under the table. It was easy for her to kill us if we went out now.
Just as I was thinking about that, the tablecloth opened and Lan Ruo came out from under the table. Her face was full of happiness, completely different from her serious face from before.
Lan Ruo waved both of her hands in front of her chest, causing the scenery outside of the back door to become blurry, then it became solid again. I knew in my heart that Lan Ruo had once again used the Two Realm Division Technique to separate the hall from the outside.
