Chapter 746 The Short Journey To The Starry Pce (Part Two)
"Of course I''ll go with you. I''ll be worried about you if you go there by yourself. It''s too dangerous there.
No one would be able to help you if I weren''t there," he slowly said.
"Then, that''s it. We''re going to the Starry Pce together. Thank you very much, my escort," Harper
stated with a chuckle.
"It''s my pleasure, my Harp," Matthew replied.
The next morning, the keeper woke Harper and Matthew up very early and urged them to take a bath
and change clothes. After that, he asked them to burn incense and pray before leaving for the Starry
Pce.

They followed everything that the keeper told them and after a while, they were finally on their way with
his guidance.
The Starry Pce was built on the top of the Holy Mountain. From foot to top, the mountain was
heavily guarded. When they reached the foot of the mountain, the keeper turned to Harper and
Matthew. He then said, "I''m sorry but I''m only allowed to escort you up to this point. From now on, you
need to go to the top by yourselves. The pce is right there at the very top. You will encounter a lot of
posts where you will need to be checked. But with the pass token given by the Holy Maiden herself,
you can go through each one smoothly and reach the top safe and sound."
Harper smiled and thanked him before he left. Then she showed the token to the guards. The guards
thoroughly checked it before letting them get through. The couple walked slowly, as if they were on
vacation while enjoying themselves very much. People in the Holy Mountain were raising numerous
poisonous insects and snakes to help the Holy Maiden in enhancing her poison skills. Strangely
enough, Harper thought that she could sense the breath of all the nts and animals in the mountain. It
actually gave her chills for a little bit.
"What''s wrong?" Matthew asked in confusion when he noticed that Harper closed her eyes.
A light shed in Harper''s eyes. "I don''t know why but it seems like I can feel the breath of everything in
the mountain, a flower, a grass, even a bug."
Matthew was a little surprised. "You can feel it, too?"
"Wait, you feel it as well?" It was Harper''s turn to be taken by surprise.
"Yes, I can. You know my internal force is very powerful. I can release it to move around the whole
mountain and feel everything. But it''s a surprise that you can also do it without the help of internal
force. Is it because of your special bloodline? But I don''t know if it''s a good thing for you to have that,"
Matthew stated, at odds with the ordeal.
"It doesn''t matter whether the bloodline is good or bad. The tripod taken from the Secret Pavilion is
good for refining medicine," Harper replied while her eyebrows furrowed. In the beginning, she didn''t
give the tripod that much attention. But unexpectedly for her, the tripod was quite convenient in refining
pills. Harper wished it could be bigger. But if it were, it would be toorge for her to carry around.
"If the tripod is of no use, the master of the Secret Pavilion wouldn''t have traveled such a long way to
come and take it back. There are a lot of valuable things in the Starry Pce''s library. But I''m not sure
if we can get in there," Matthew said in a yful tone.
"The keeper of the inn told me that anyone who dares to enter the library would suffer the punishment
from heaven. I don''t know if it''s true. But I haven''t seen a divine thunder and lightning splitting people.
That must be an eye-opener," Harper stated with so much interest.
"It''s just a lie. There''s no punishment from heaven at all," Matthew responded with a sneer.
Holding Matthew''s arm, Harper curiously asked, "How could you know so much about the Starry
Pce here? Is it because you actually admired the Holy Maiden very much that you had already
sneaked in here and took a look at her before?"
"Do you want me to punish you on the bed tonight? Because you know, I would really love to do that,"
He asked while giving her a warning look. He didn''t like it whenever she would say things like that,
insinuating that he had eyes for women other than her.
The smile on Harper''s face froze. She then touched her nose with embarrassment. Well, he couldn''t
me it on her. He knew a lot of things about the Starry Pce, which naturally gave her the suspicion
that he would be into the Holy Maiden. Plus, the Holy Maiden''s behavior yesterday was a little strange
as well so it made her more confused.
"I was just joking. Don''t be upset, honey. The Holy Maiden is beautiful, but she''s too boring. I know
she''s not your type. However, her rigid personality is somewhat simr to what you used to be," Harper
teased him.
Matthew didn''t say anything in response. To be honest, he didn''t have any impression of the Holy
Maiden. But he had indeed sneaked into the library before. Unfortunately, he was discovered while he
was trying to find something there. He was even wounded by the protective device in the library. So he
got nothing useful at that time.
"Remember, there are many traps in the library, so be careful." As soon as Matthew thought of the
traps in the library, he couldn''t help but keep on giving caution to Harper. He didn''t want any harm to
come to her. If something were to happen to her, the situation would be out of control.
"Don''t worry. I''m going to behave really well," Harper assured him. After a long while of walking, Harper
stopped to look at the top of the mountain. She then sighed before saying, "Is this for real? We''re only
halfway there! I would be tired to death if I continued walking to the top. Honey, can you take me there,
please?"
"I remember that you''ve just gotten your force back," Matthew replied. Although that was what he said,
he reached out to hold Harper''s waist and quickly took her to the top of the mountain.
Harper enjoyed his help very much. Although she had regained her spiritual power, she was pleased
that he was willing enough to help her. Until now, she still didn''t know who had attacked her in the
general''s house. It was clear that the intention of that attack was to kill her. In fact, it did kill the real
Harper.
