The Naughty Senior Sister
Sheep Don't Recognize Wolves, While Hunters Lurk In The Darkness
At least, it would take four days and three nights for them to get to the entrance wall of the Great Imperial Ming Capital.
Right now they were queuing to enter at the line reserved specifically for cultivators. These lines are provided due to differences in the currency used to pay the entry fee. They will also examine anyone who wants to cheat by lying.
Yan Xu sent a voice transmission to his wife while spreading divine consciousness, "My wife dear, why didn't we use the legendary mount to go here earlier?"
Lan Xihe rolled her eyes, she smiled gently at her husband and replied, "My dear husband, if we use the white goose, it is likely that the cunning fox will whine wanting to come along."
"Sy fox?" Yan Xu retorted in an innocent tone for not knowing who was meant.
"Su Yinfeng."
That short answer opened Yan Xu's eyes, he could not believe it turned out that the Sect Chief had such a childish nature. Yan Xu could not imagine the face of the old man who was about to whine with a serious expression as he wanted to come along. In reality, he still did not know the appearance was fake.
Yan Xu took advantage of this opportunity to find out more about their sect head.
"Does the Sect Chief only have a fierce yet cat-like look inside?"
Hearing that, Lan Xihe's eyes blinked a few times. She finally realized, that her husband had not known the secret of the sect head. Feeling bored, he wanted to play a little while waiting for a long line.
Lan Xihe started the game with a troubled expression, then spoke in a mischievous tone, "Actually ..."
She began to tremble and hugged her husband's wrist tighter, then said, "He once wanted me to be his masonry."
Brushh!
"Uhuk! Uhukkk!"
Yan Xu who was drinking, immediately spurted out the water that had just entered his mouth and coughed a few times. The words of his wife, made him almost have a heart attack because he imagined the astonishing thing.
"Suami, are you okay?" asked Lan Xihe worried—even though in her heart, she had actually laughed out loud to the point of wanting to cry.
"I—uhuk! Uhukk!— Fine, haah ..." Yan Xu immediately took a breath to calm his throat.
Then, he continued back.
"Then, how do you answer?" Yan Xu asked in a curious tone.
"I agree to it."
Lan Xihe glanced towards Yan Xu using her divine consciousness, yet she found no change to her husband's expression.
Meanwhile, the surprised Yan Xu reflexively imagined it with his head and there was only the inscription "Error 991" he could see. Although very surprised, from the outside his handsome face remained flat as usual. That said, he was unable to respond because the element of surprise was too much.
A few seconds later, he cleared his throat. "Sorry, I can't imagine— aiya! Why did you hit me?"
Lan Xihe smiled mischievously and said, "Of course you will never be able to imagine it because that was just a lie."
Yan Xu looked disappointed as he said, 'Honey ....'
Seeing that, Lan Xihe frowned in surprise, "Why? You really expect me to be a widow after accepting another man?"
Yan Xu nodded in agreement. After all, he knew that his wife was a bachelor who had lived alone for too long. If he had a dao partner before, it was inconceivable due to his overly harsh nature.
It is known that men are rational beings. But sometimes they can also be affected by emotions. Talking about the old thing to someone who is with you right now, is not something an experienced widow would do.
'You want to deceive this ancestor?— Ptooey! Before you were in your mother's womb, I've been playing all sorts of cunning tricks for a long time! Too soon a million years, son!'
"My husband ...."
Lan Xihe's eyes widened and seemed like she wanted to cry when she saw how stoic the acting of this beloved husband was. He further buried his reddened face into that wrist.
Not long after, the voice transmission from Yan Xu came back.
"My wife dear, can you do a little thing for this stoic husband?"
"Tell me, Husband! Xihe will do his best!" he replied with enthusiasm— even though in his heart he had cursed loudly for daring to rule it.
'Based on unfilial husband! How dare you rule me!'
Yan Xu softly replied, "Please, use your divine consciousness to examine the Northwest direction."
Following the instructions of her husband, Lan Xihe began to spread the divine consciousness towards the Northwest. Nothing strange happened, everyone was walking and doing their activities as usual. She glanced at her husband hesitantly.
Seeing the doubt in those beautiful red eyes, Yan Xu became solemn, "Freak, really strange. What did you see until you looked at me like that?"
"My dear husband, do you want to prank Xihe? Xihe did not see the slightest strangeness from their daily activities!"
"Can you explain it in more detail?" Yan Xu's voice sounded urgent.
Lan Xihe took a deep breath then explained, "Xihe just saw them trading, there were street dancer performances in some corners, there were also workers helping the merchant, the children running happily ...."
He continued to explain what was seen through divine consciousness. For some reason, Yan Xu's expression grew more serious.
"Why is your face so serious, Husband?"
"My beloved wife, we must find lodging first around the limits of the Northwest. At least, a kilometer from there."
"Why so suddenly? The inn!? Don't tell me you ...." Lan Xihe narrowed her eyes.
Yan Xu shook his head gently. He poked his wife's white cheek as he said, "The trading base belonging to the Jiang family is in the Northwest region, while their mansion is in the Southeast. Not a wise choice if we go directly to the Southeast or Northwest."
"We should hold ourselves back in the West. Finding two inns close to the border of the Southeast and Northwest regions is a top priority at this time. That way, we can install two-way transportation runes on each room."
"However, I still doubt some things ...." Yan Xu's eyes narrowed, as if he was thinking of something unpleasant.
"What is that, my husband?" asked Lan Xihe curiously.
"If I am a hostile party, it is better to trap them in the West than the Northwest and Southeast. The probability of the Southeast and Northwest regions is just a pretty high bait, but we should be there" Yan Xu replied.
"If we do what he wants, aren't we both already fish on the cutting board?"
"It should be so, it's just that the person must still not be moving."
"Why is that?" the fairy face of Lan Xihe showed a hint of interest.
Yan Xu smiled faintly and said, "Because the sheep still do not recognize the wolf, while the hunter still lurks from the shadow patiently."
Lan Xihe pointed her slender index finger towards the two of them while asking, "Are we the wolves?"
Yan Xu simply nodded in agreement.
Not long after, they made payment transactions going into the Great Imperial Capital of Ming like other cultivators using spirit crystal stones.
