Chapter 28.3

The Two Dumb People (3)

He recognized this spiritual harness as the one he gave her on the day of the Immortal Ascension Conference, that time when he felt that her donkey was too stupid and an eyesore.

As a result, she didn’t use it on the donkey. He thought she had lost it, but surprisingly, it was here.

“Valuables?” Shen Rongyu said while holding the spiritual harness, looking down at Ji Qingzhou.

Ji Qingzhou truly considered them her valuables. The harness could glow, plus Shen Rongyu gave it to her, so it looked quite valuable.

And… this was his gift to her. She had never received a gift from anyone else before.

So, Ji Qingzhou nodded.

Shen Rongyu stuffed the spiritual harness back into the purse again. A stream of magic flashed on his fingertips, and cast some kind of magic on the purse.

“This is a simple spell to expand space. There isn’t much space inside, so we can barely fit some.” Shen Rongyu returned the purse to Ji Qingzhou. With his current cultivation, it wasn’t enough to create a vast independent space, but it was more than enough to set up a storage purse the size of a room.

Ji Qingzhou put all her things inside. She even put her hand in it and said, “Xiao Yu-shixiong, can I also get in?”

“There is neither spirit qi nor air inside. People will suffocate and die. It can only store non-living items.” Shen Rongyu fished her hand out.

Ji Qingzhou tied her purse back to her waist. She felt… a little happy. This future villain seemed to be a nice person.

She followed Shen Rongyu to the food market — He had already secretly scouted the way, so it was easy for him to navigate this time.

The food in the cultivation world was all very special, and Ji Qingzhou ate her fill. She liked the drifting cloud cakes sold at the dim sum store. They were soft and fluffy, like cotton candy, but not as sweet and greasy.

She bought several boxes, and asked Shen Rongyu if he wanted some.

Shen Rongyu was neither fond of sweets nor did he eat them. How could he like this kind of sweet and greasy cake?

Ji Qingzhou returned from the market with a full load. She initially thought that once they were back in the sect, Shen Rongyu would part ways with her and go his own way.

However, Shen Rongyu led her to another place. It was Jiang Qianke’s immortal abode, Yunshui Peak.

“Elder Jiang…” Ji Qingzhou was somewhat against going to him.

Shen Rongyu led her down from the Burial Snow Sword while explaining, “On White Water Island that night, Elder Jiang and Elder Ye were there. We saw Elder Ye, and he was injured by the Soul Seeking Nails, but Elder Jiang never appeared. ”

“No matter how much people mislead others, there is no doubt that the person who released the Soul Seeking Nails is either Elder Jiang or Elder Ye.” Shen Rongyu walked into the Peach Blossom Mist. He turned his head, glanced at Ji Qingzhou, and said, “Don’t you want to see how he’s doing?”

Ji Qingzhou was shocked. It took her a long time to realize that Shen Rongyu had brought her to do bad things.

When entering Jiang Qianke’s immortal abode, you could send a greeting outside, and as an elder of Xuanyun Sect, he couldn’t turn them away.

But Shen Rongyu headed into the Peach Blossom Mist, obviously to sneak into Yunshui Peak and secretly check out Jiang Qianke’s condition.

He truly was a big villain, and now he actually wanted to drag her into his thief boat. Ji Qingzhou thought while hugging the little beast in her arms.

But…was it appropriate to bring such a small spirit beast to commit this kind of thing?

Shen Rongyu’s actions were telling her it was okay.

He leisurely strolled inside the Peach Blossom Mist, as if enjoying the scenery, and ignored the sprites and obstacles in the maze of mist. He looked like he was familiar with the formation.

Ji Qingzhou remembered… Since she entered the sect, Shen Rongyu had often gone to Yunshui Peak to study high-level formations. Was he really comprehending formations?

She followed Shen Rongyu step by step, for fear that she would get lost.

Shen Rongyu stretched out her hand backwards and called her, “Zhouzhou.”

He looked like he was asking her to hold him. Ji Qingzhou was inwardly scared, but… holding hands…

Her fingertips nudged his palm, not quite grasping it all.

The mist was getting thicker. This Peach Blossom Mist formation outside Yunshui Peak was no more than the simple version of the formation during the entrance test. Ji Qingzhou successfully saw through the illusion here last time, but this time, not necessarily.

Jiang Qianke had reached the pinnacle of formations, and the Peach Blossom Mist Formation was his most notable work.

Ji Qingzhou clung to Shen Rongyu’s hand. She saw his figure gradually disappearing into the milky white mist. The little beast in her arms fell asleep, and she seemed to be the only one left in the mist.

She got a little scared, so she subconsciously tightened her hold on Shen Rongyu’s hand in front of her, gripping it a little.

Shen Rongyu, who was in front of her, exerted his strength and pulled her over without warning.

“Zhouzhou?” He held her hand tightly. His palm was warm, but his clear face was vague in the mist.

Ji Qingzhou opened her lips slightly and was about to say something, but Shen Rongyu had already looked forward.

“I have roughly figured out the direction of the Peach Blossom Mist Formation, but Elder Jiang can change the subtleties at any time.” His voice rang slow, with a hint of coaxing.

Ji Qingzhou blinked, seemingly understanding Shen Rongyu’s intentions. She could get out of the formation, and even if she was in the formation, if she was given enough information, she could figure out how to get out of it.

This ability was almost instinctive. Even if she didn’t want to use it herself, these figures and graphics were so fascinating that they always flashed in her mind.

Shen Rongyu… was asking her to solve the formation… This was why he brought her there.
