Chapter 179 Small Teleportation Array
Chapter 179 Small Teleportation Array
"Achuan."
Lin Chuan just walked out of the room when he heard the gentle call. He looked up and saw Jiang Wanying leaning against the door, looking at him with a look of inquiry in her eyes.
"Sister."
Lin Chuan stopped and responded to Jiang Wanying with a forced smile on his face.
"You... should rest early."
Jiang Wanying lowered her eyes slightly and spoke softly. She seemed to notice something was wrong with Lin Chuan, but she didn't ask any more questions. She turned around and walked towards her room.
"..."
Lin Chuan returned to his room with a heavy heart. As soon as he entered the room, he walked straight to the table and sat down. He supported his head with his hands, frowned tightly, and began to think hard about how to make Xu Hanyi happy without hurting Jiang Wanying.
His eyes were full of entanglement and confusion. He kept sorting out the complicated relationship between the three people in his mind and thought of one solution after another, but he overturned them again and again.
This was a tricky problem, and even though Lin Chuan's head was about to explode, he still had no idea. In the end, he had no choice but to come up with two words - no solution.
Lin Chuan had no choice but to suppress his worries for the time being. He slowly stood up, walked to the bed, and sat cross-legged on it. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, then slowly closed his eyes and began to practice.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and there was no incident all night.
"Achuan, are you awake? Master asked me to call you. It's time for us to go home."
Jiang Wanying's voice came from outside the door, crisp yet soft and intimate. She knocked gently on the door and stood there quietly waiting for a response. The breeze blew her hair, and she looked well-behaved and gentle.
"Senior sister, please come in and sit for a while. I'll clean up a little."
While responding to Jiang Wanying, Lin Chuan slowly stood up, rubbed his aching waist, frowned slightly, and a look of fatigue appeared on his face.
After practicing for a whole night, he found that no matter how hard he tried to compress the spiritual energy in his body, it would eventually dissipate uncontrollably, and his foundation could never be solidified. It seemed that there was no other way except to break through the realm.
"Achuan, didn't you get any rest last night?"
Jiang Wanying gently pushed open the door and walked into the room. Looking at Lin Chuan's slightly tired face, her eyes were full of concern. She unconsciously quickened her pace and walked closer to Lin Chuan. She raised her head slightly, her eyes full of worry.
"I couldn't sleep, so I practiced for a while."
As Lin Chuan spoke, he reached out and gently rubbed Jiang Wanying's head, with a hint of doting in his movements.
"Because of the Master?"
Jiang Wanying tilted her head slightly, letting Lin Chuan put his hand on her head, but her eyes were fixed on Lin Chuan's, as if she wanted to find the answer from his eyes.
"No, don't think too much, Senior Sister."
Lin Chuan quickly withdrew his hand and tried to maintain a relaxed smile on his face, but his eyes were a little evasive, and he didn't dare to look into Jiang Wanying's inquiring eyes for too long.
Just kidding, there is only one person left who has not been coaxed, and he doesn't want to cause chaos again.
"..."
Jiang Wanying opened her mouth, but finally chose to remain silent. She just bit her lower lip slightly, nodded gently, and stood there looking at Lin Chuan quietly.
After Lin Chuan packed up briefly, he and Jiang Wanying left the house together. Xu Hanyi had already been waiting outside, and when he saw them come out, he nodded slightly.
However, the situation this time was completely different from when they first arrived at the inn. Before the three of them even set off, Jiang Wanying and Xu Hanyi had a conflict over who should take Lin Chuan, who had fallen from grace, back to the Qingluan Holy Land.
"Ying'er and Chuan'er are Taoist companions, and they should support each other. Now that Chuan'er has fallen in realm, Ying'er will fly his sword to take him back to the Qingluan Holy Land."
Xu Hanyi spoke expressionlessly, his voice like a calm lake without a ripple.
"The Qingluan Holy Land is so far away from here. My disciple is only in the Nascent Soul stage. If I bring Achuan with me, the spiritual energy is simply not enough. It's better for Master to take Achuan with him." Jiang Wanying lowered her eyes slightly and said softly.
"..."
"There's a small teleportation array nearby. Ying'er, you can take Chuan'er through it. Although it's a little slow, you can take good care of Chuan'er."
Xu Hanyi tried her best to make her tone appear calm, but the slightly clenched corners of her clothes still revealed her inner struggle at the moment.
"I don't want to. The small teleportation array is too slow to go back. I have to rush back to Fengtian Pavilion to deal with some things. I'll leave Ah Chuan to Master."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Wanying didn't wait for Xu Hanyi to agree. She flashed and turned into a stream of light, rushing towards the Qingluan Holy Land. She disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Xu Hanyi: “…”
Lin Chuan: "..."
"Master won't abandon me, right?"
Lin Chuan looked up at Xu Hanyi, with a hint of uneasiness and anticipation in his eyes.
"..."
"Find a way to get back on your own."
Xu Hanyi turned her head slightly away, her tone seemingly cold, but her slightly trembling eyelashes betrayed her inner unrest. After saying this, she also turned into a stream of light and quickly left.
"????"
In desperation, Lin Chuan, who was abandoned by dogs and cats, had to run towards the small teleportation array closest to him.
Because Luoguan City is close to the northern border and is located in a remote area, the people there are rather "fierce" and there is a saying that "nine out of ten thieves are thieves."
Lin Chuan had been lucky along the way, as he had only encountered some low-level independent cultivators. Although he was only at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, facing these independent cultivators, who were at most at the early stage of the Golden Core stage, was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.
……
"Fairy, please spare my life. I really didn't mean to harm you. I..."
A casual cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage who was hiding in the dark with his face covered was shattered into ice chips with a "bang".
……
In this way, Lin Chuan arrived at the place where the small teleportation array was located without any danger. When he was about to pay the spirit stones to teleport to the city with a large teleportation array, he hesitated.
He always felt that Xu Hanyi and Jiang Wanying had not left.
"Oh, I forgot to bring the spirit stone. How can I get back?"
Lin Chuan deliberately raised his voice and pretended to search anxiously while speaking. He would occasionally glance around, trying to catch sight of that familiar figure.
"Clap."
An exquisite storage bag fell at Lin Chuan's feet, making a slight sound.
Lin Chuan: "..."
Lin Chuan hurriedly looked around, but did not see Jiang Wanying and Xu Hanyi.
"..."
"Okay! Let's go!"
Lin Chuan picked up the storage bag, paid the spirit stones, selected a city, and walked into the teleportation array.
"Buzz!"
A white light suddenly lit up, the light was extremely dazzling, and Lin Chuan subconsciously closed his eyes.
In an instant, a strong feeling of being high in the air came over me, as if my body was rapidly climbing into the air, with the sound of wind whistling past my ears, and my whole body was in a state of being suspended in the air and somewhat weightless.
"Strange, why does it feel like this?"
