Chapter 404: Noticing
After stepping out of the restaurant, Xu Chuniang was about to return to the courtyard, when suddenly her divine sense sensed something.
The small black dot in the token, moved.
Unlike earlier when it only moved in the courtyard, this time, the little black dot was directly leaving the courtyard.
At the same time, the hidden winged insects guarding the outside of the mansion discovered the movement.
Xu Chuniang borrowed the cryptoptera’s perception and detected a total of four auras leaving the mansion courtyard.
One of the auras was exceptionally strong, and it should be that Jindan cultivator Zhao Hucheng.
The remaining three were the traveling companions, Zhan Luo, Zhan Fu, and Cheng Qingjia.
Cheng Qingjia’s eyes were dull and lifeless, standing by the side of the three people, walking and stopping along with a few people, as if she had lost her own consciousness.
Zhao Hu Cheng had just stepped out of the mansion, when he suddenly had an uncomfortable feeling, like he had been secretly spied on by something.
His eyes sank slightly, and his divine sense was released, quietly sweeping towards the surroundings.
“What’s wrong?”
Zhan Luo could see that there was something different about his complexion and was secretly alerted.
“It’s nothing, just some small bugs.”
Zhao Hu Cheng spoke blandly, and with a twist of his divine sense, he strangled all those hidden winged insects that were hiding in a concealed location.
In just a moment, more than ten tiny insect corpses rustled and fell to the ground in front of the three of them.
“This is …… an insect type demonic beast?”
Zhan Fu’s pupils shrunk slightly, “Pingfeng Island has a strong protective formation, and this place is close to the center of the island, how could so many low-level demonic beasts suddenly appear?”
Zhan Luo’s eyes swept over the insect corpses on the ground, and after carefully observing them, his eyes gradually deepened.
“Anomalies must be demons, these weak bugs could never break through the island protection formation, in all likelihood, someone brought them to the island. Uncle Zhao, can you possibly recognize what kind of bugs these are?”
When Zhao Hucheng used his divine sense to kill the insects, he noticed that they were poisonous.
However, with his Jindan stage cultivation, this weak toxicity would not be able to hurt him in the slightest.
Zhao Hucheng reached out his hand to take a false downward, more than ten bug corpses fell into his palm.
After looking at them several times, he shook his head slightly.
“This insect is the only one I’ve seen in my life, but looking at its transparent wings, which are barely visible, and its silence when flying, I suspect that this was deliberately placed by someone.”
“Elder Zhao means that someone is secretly monitoring our movements?”
Zhan Fu’s heart tightened and he couldn’t help but turn his face to look at Zhan Luo, “Miss, then aren’t we being exposed under the eyes of others on this trip ……”
When Zhan Luo Luo heard this, not only did she not get angry, but she instead picked her lips and smiled.
“Interesting, to dare to monitor me in such a dignified manner. There are very few people who know about this private residence of mine, I wonder if the people in the dark, are those two great families of Ping Feng Island, or that good seventh uncle of mine?”
“If it’s the Zhan family head, it’s just a matter of time, he’s on the five islands of the southern line and is out of reach. But if it’s those two families, will it affect us?”
A hint of hidden worry flashed across Zhan Fu’s face, those two families, after learning that the young lady had chosen the son of the Cheng family as her daoist partner, although they hadn’t said anything on the surface, they were actually already dissatisfied.
The smile under Zhan Luo’s eyes deepened, “What’s the panic? I haven’t done anything unseemly, even if they are dissatisfied, can they really take action against a junior like me?”
She probably had a guess in the bottom of her heart, that the person who was secretly monitoring with insect-like demonic beasts was 80% her seventh uncle, Zhan Siming.
He should have discovered the abnormalities of the clan’s treasure trove and suspected her, and without any concrete evidence, he would make this move.
Unfortunately, she wouldn’t give him the chance to continue probing. Zhan Luo made an immediate decision and led several people towards where the teleportation array on Pingfeng Island was located.
Just as the several people were moving, Xu Chuniang, who had been paying attention to the movements of the small black dots and was not far behind them, frowned slightly after realizing their destination.
They had only come to Pingfeng Island for three months, so were they going back to the five islands of the southern line? Or perhaps …… Zhan Luo had an ulterior motive for this trip?
Afraid of losing Cheng Qingjia even more, Xu Chunniang quickened her pace and closed the distance between her and the small black dot.
Luckily, by the time she rushed to the Teleportation Hall, the other party hadn’t left yet.
The cultivator guarding the teleportation array stopped her, routinely checking, “Haixing order.”
Sea traveling order is the identity token, in this Pingfeng Island, no matter whether it is out of the island or into the island, you need to rely on this order.
Xu Chuniang took out her identity token, and the man scrutinized it carefully before releasing her.
She was slightly relieved, pulled down the brim of the cloak, and after paying 50,000 spirit stones, she did not move and stepped into the waiting room of a transmission array.
On this medium-sized island, in addition to the teleportation formations leading to the various small islands under its jurisdiction, there were even some teleportation formations that could lead to other medium-sized islands or even large islands.
Xu Chuniang was going to another medium-sized island that was slightly larger in scale.
There were originally seven people in the waiting room, and it took more than an hour after she joined before ten people were gathered.
Xu Chuniang’s eyes opened and closed slightly, and after seeing Zhan Luo’s several people step into the formation, she finally got up and stepped into the formation.
The teleportation array was then activated, and after a burst of blinding white light, the ten people in the array disappeared.
On the other hand, ten more figures appeared in the teleportation array on the other island.
After Xu Chuniang regained her senses, she didn’t move hastily.
Only when the four Zhan Luo people came to their senses and headed towards the outside of the formation did she unhurriedly follow the four towards the outside.
She didn’t realize that after the four of them walked out of the formation and paid the spirit stones after presenting the Sea Traveling Order, they actually returned to the waiting room of another teleportation formation.
That waiting room originally had five people, in the four people joined nine people, at any time may fill the number of people to start the transmission array.
Xu Chuniang saw this scene in her eyes and couldn’t help but frown slightly.
After a moment’s hesitation, she silently paid the spirit stones and stepped into the waiting room behind the four.
Traveling together twice in a row, although it was highly likely that it would arouse the suspicion of the Zhan Luo few, it was better than losing the people.
When she swept Cheng Qingjia with her residual light, she had already realized that his state was a bit off, he looked double-lidded and dull.
Although she didn’t know what exactly had happened to him, she thought that it couldn’t be anything good.
When the cultivator with a cloak on his head and covered in black robes, unable to tell if he was a man or a woman, stepped into the waiting room, Zhan Luo, if she was aware of it, glanced towards Zhao Hucheng.
Zhao Hu Cheng gave her a faintly unnoticeable nod, and then secretly transmitted his voice.
“This person has an aura of disguise and shape change on him, and he’s following all the way, so maybe he’s the owner of those bug beasts.”
Zhan Luo withdrew her gaze and took a step towards the teleportation array in front of her, while transmitting her voice in reply.
“It could also be a coincidence, let’s take another look. Anyway, the place we’re going to is far away, if we want to follow us, we don’t know how many spirit stones that person has.”
A white light flashed in the teleportation array.
Xu Chuniang had become very skillful at coping with the power of teleportation and quickly regained consciousness.
After seeing Zhan Luo’s four people step out of the formation, and subsequently paying a large amount of spirit stones, and once again turning back to go to the waiting room that led to the large island, she slightly lowered her eyes and left the teleportation hall.
