Chapter 143 - Sword Forged For You

"Is this what I think it is?" Le Fang Ling widened her eyes as she took off the jade locket from her neck. This was the second time the locket was shining like this. No! If she took the time when they were in that village taken into consideration, this was the third time this was happening.

"Another teleportation?! At this hour!' She felt a bit stressed about it.

"Last time I was in my room so disappearing out of nowhere was not a big problem, but now this is…" she frowned as she stood up from her seat.  If she disappeared in thin air out of nowhere, this was going to be TROUBLESOME!

The glow got brighter than before and the heat it was emitting on her skin was more than before.

"This is bad!"

She picked Nagina and dashed away from the stadium. The spectators who were still caught in the awe of the first match snapped out of their heads when some girl dashed by them.

Feng Po Po who was looking at her jade pendent intently scurried after her in confusion.

'Where are we going?" She shouted after Le Fang Ling who was frantically running away from the crowd. She wanted to go somewhere she could be alone, far away from the eyes of the crowd.

"Somewhere private!" She shouted back to Feng Po Po.

"Oh!" She had no idea if she should follow her or not. After all, Le Fang Ling said they were going somewhere private and dragged that Nagina girl with her. After knowing that they were a couple and they were rushing to somewhere private, she was a bit hesitant about following after them.

"What are you doing? Come fast!" Le Fang Ling shouted at Feng Po Po who was lost in her thought somewhere along the path.

"Oh! Coming!"

Getting the confirmation that she should indeed follow after the two of them, she too whooshed past hundreds of spectators, creating a small storm of wind after her.

Those who could not see Feng Po Po, which included almost all the people there, looked at the running figure of Le fang Ling with a weirded out gaze.

"Was that girl just talking with the air?"

"I have no idea, but seems like that is the case…"

"Or maybe she lost her mind after watching something gruesome…poor child," someone even dared to pity Le Fang Ling.

"Pfft, they all think she is a lunatic," Feng Po Po giggled as she flew past them.

She soon caught up with Le Fang Ling who was almost at the end of the exit of the stadium. The number of people there was less, so even if they were to disappear here, she was sure they will not seem suspicious. Thankfully, this area was also a bit deserted and isolated.

The scene of the arena from this part of the stadium was the worst, so it was pretty understandable why there were fewer people here.

"A blessing, oof!"

But she took a breath of relief too fast. As she slowed down her feet, she stepped on a small pit on the ground. This made her lose her balance and before she could figure out what was happening, her world spun around.

"…."

"What a right time to fall," she sighed as she closed her eyes. The jade locket had finally opened up the gateway to the other dimension. She held Nagina tightly and made sure to catch Feng Po Po by her wrist.

Hopefully, no one saw her falling disgracefully like that.

'Hang on tight!'

Suddenly, there was a bright array of green and white light as three people got sucked inside it. The only thing that was left behind was a green sandal which was stuck in the pit in the ground.

All of this happened in a short span of fewer than thirty seconds.

"Hmm," Elder Shen who was the nearest to the exit in distance looked at the place where he sensed some strange but strong qi with a frown.

"Was that disciple Le right now?" He wondered about the girl with the weird chimpanzation disease or something during the assessment test. He had seen her running towards the exit just now but suddenly, he could sense her presence no more.

Plus there was the weird bright light thing that only he and a few other high-ranking cultivators seemed to have noticed.

"It must have been something," he waved off his head away from the thought. Le fang ling was not that much of an important person at the moment. He still had to call the two participants for the next match.

"Su Qin from Astral Forest Sect and An Lin from Eternal Blossom Sect," he called out the name of the two fighters for the next match.

"STEP FORWARD!" He called them out on the stage.

Meanwhile, a tall shadow approached the exit gate of the stadium. It paused for a bit as it looked at the green sandal on the pit.

"Mhmm.." a light humming escaped from the mouth which soon widened in a smile.

"Cinderella left behind her shoes," the figure bent down and picked up the shoe. "Godmother will be sad, won't she?"

**

BANG!

"Ow, ow," Le Fang Ling cried out in pain as she fell on a lush grassland. The landing itself was not painful, the big sacks on her back were the ones causing her pain.

"Get off of me, you two!" she gritted her teeth.  The two sacks lying on her back were none other than Feng Po Po and Nagina, who dared to take the form of humans while they were being teleported.

"Host, you can be a good pillow, or a cushion, hehe," Nagina pinched her butt as she got down from the back. She had landed on her plump part, making her fall an enjoyable one.

"…."

"Exactly, maybe I should start hugging you to sleep now," Feng Po Po said with a chuckle as she rubbed Le Fang Ling's head.  "Though, I don't need to sleep."

Le Fang Ling: "….."

Why was she getting molested in bright daylight? She lamented in her heart as she forced herself to get up from the ground. Even after carrying two girls on her back, she did not break her spine or rib.

'I am pretty strong, it seems,' she sighed as she patted off the dust from her robe. Lying on a grassland full of dried leaves, branches, and leaves was not something she was not going to try…ever again!!

"Ahemm, if you three are done with flirting with each other, shall we begin our lesson right away?" An elderly voice rang out.

"Master Yi Feng!" Le Fang Ling immediately got cautious with her posture. She straightened her body and brought her hands forward.

She gave a slight bow to him and smiled. "I hope you have been well, master." Following her suite, Nagina did the same. As for Feng Po Po, she stood looking at the scene, a bit bewildered.

Master Yi Feng looked at the three girls in front of him and rubbed his head. This temple was throbbing. He had planned to take in one disciple and that was Le Fang Ling.

But when he finally summoned her, she brought an extension with her. Nagina, that weird magical beast tagged along with her, and without any plan, he had two people under his wings.

When he had finally accepted the two of them and placed his bar, there it was again! A new person and she was a she!!

Another female!

Why was an old monk such as himself who had stayed away from women all his life was getting surrounded by female cultivators who were old enough to be daughters…

"We have a guest," he said in a solemn tone as he fixed his gaze at Feng Po Po.

"It seems, she is neither a human nor a magical beast," his sharpened eyes fell on her. "Tell me, how you got your hands on her Le fang Ling," his eyes darted towards Le Fang Ling.

"Err, Master…" Le fang Ling did not know where to start her explanation from. "It's a long story."

"Oh, that's fine. We have plenty of time anyway," Master Yi Feng smiled as she sat down on the grassland crossed leg.

"….."

'This is not how things were supposed to progress right?'

After a few hours…

"That's more or less everything," Le Fang Ling finally ended her short narration. After talking nonstop for an hour, her throat felt as dry as the Sahara desert. There was not even a spit left on her throat that could quench her thirst.

"Take this," Master Yi Feng threw a leather bag towards her. It was a water pouch that he carried anywhere he went.

Le Fang Ling drank the water down to every last drop of it present inside the container. When she was finally done, she licked her lips to wet them a bit with a satisfied smile on her face.

"Thank you, master," she smiled, passing the water bag back to him.

Master Yi Feng said nothing as he took back the water bag. The water bag disappeared from his hand and instead, there was something else in his hand.

"There, take this!" he said as he threw the sword at her. It was put safely inside an old wooden scabbard.

"This is the sword I forged for you, taking exactly a week."

"I was going to give it to you after you have learned other things but seeing as to how you have already found the wind deity, the greatest wind spirit, I think you can have it now," he said eying Feng Po Po.
