Chapter 96: Only Fools Do That


    “Let’s go, Yang Wei,” Elder Jing eximed when the dustpletely scattered.


    Yang Wei became dumbfounded as he pointed his finger at the Feather Wind Sect member.


    “What about them, Elder Jing?” Yang Wei asked softly.


    He thought they were supposed to group with a minimum of three sects to be safe when venturing inside the Pagoda. After all, the words came from Elder Jing herself yet she seemed to be contradicting it.


    Elder Jing smirked as she knocked on Yang Wei’s head lightly.


    “Only fools do that, Yang Wei,” Elder Jing eximed slowly.


    Yang Wei’s eyes flickered in excitement as realization dawned on him.


    “Elder Jing, you wanted to ditch everyone from the beginning and the announcement was just a decoy or a smokescreen to distract them.” Yang Wei said with full admiration of Elder Jing’s swift thinking.


    Elder Jing chuckled softly as she stared in the direction of the Pagoda.


    “Remember Yang Wei, when I start moving, you should make sure to follow closely behind. Don’t worry about being unable to keep up with my speed as I will inject some of my true qi into your body so you can utilize that profound qi to increase your speed.”


    Afterward, Elder Jing ced her hands on Yang Wei’s shoulder as she injected some of her true qi and Yang Wei’s core.


    Yang Wei felt extreme warmth as the true qi from Elder Jing slowly filled his core to the brim.


    The true qi from Elder Jing was pure and powerful as Yang Wei felt like exploding because his body couldn’t contain such pureness for much longer.


    “Are you surprised by the true qi I injected into you?” Elder Jing asked with a teasing tone.


    Yang Wei scratched his head slightly and nodded, “Un, I almost feel bloated from the true qi even though it’s a very minimal amount.”


    “That’s normal given the fact that the true qi I injected is around the 7th Nascent Soul Realm whilst your cultivation is in the Qi Condensation Realm.” Elder Jing said and continued.


    “Honestly, you’re already handling my true qi pretty well since anyone at your cultivation base receiving this kind of true qi from me would most likely have their entire body explode into pieces.”


    Yang Wei stumbled slightly when he heard of the possibility of exploding due to the true qi from Elder Jing.


    With a slightly pale face, Yang Wei stared at Elder Jing, “A-Aren’t you overestimating my ability if I happened to be unable to withstand the true qi?”


    Elder Jing shrugged her shoulders and ignored Yang Wei’s question as she nced at the Pagoda fully revealing itself.


    “Let’s go,” Elder Jing eximed as she kicked the branch off, propelling herself forward.


    Meanwhile, Yang Wei smiled bitterly since he realized that Elder Jing could be reckless with stuff like injecting her true qi into someone without fearing the consequences.


    ‘Ai, How could I forget about our first meeting?’


    Yang Wei sighed inwardly when he almost forgot about Elder Jing exploding her cauldron during their first encounter where he was forced to take the fall for her failure.


    Although it really hasn’t been long since that happened but being in this mysterious realm, time seemed to be extremely long for Yang Wei.


    s, Yang Wei has no time to be sentimental as he quickly followed Elder Jing and was dumbfounded to realize how much speed he increased.


    It was at least thrice faster than his usual speed as Yang Wei felt his body channeling smoothly with the true qi gushing into his legs as he leaped from one tree branch to another, almost like it wasn’t even touching the branch but was floating midair.


    While Elder Jing and Yang Weipletely dashed toward the Pagoda, the rest of the Feather Wind Sect could only twitch their mouths as they were abandoned by their sect elder.


    “Cough, let’s not be downcast and hurry our movement toward the Pagoda,” Elder Pao Huang cleared his throat as hemanded the disciples to dash forward.


    “Yes, Sect Elder Pao Huang,” The disciples nodded their heads in unison as they all used their cultivation base to dash toward the Pagoda.


    However, their movements were clearly slower than Elder Jing and Yang Wei as they couldn’t even see a shadow of them.


    ‘Hmph, Elder Jing is really biased for leaving me alone and that’s Yang Wei, just you wait for ditching me as well.’ Lian Xinyue cursed inwardly as she tried to increase her speed but it was only a futile effort due to her low cultivation base in the Core Formation realm.


    As the other sects had already begun rushing toward the pagoda without forming a single group, Elder Jing stopped her movement, just 10km away from the pagoda.


    Yang Wei halted his movement as well before waiting for instruction from Elder Jing.


    There was no point asking why they stopped since Yang Wei knew Elder Jing must have her reason.


    However, Elder Jing’s next sentence caused Yang Wei to almost choke himself.


    “Sorry, my shoe was dirty a bit so I stopped to clean it off,” Elder Jing said as she wiped the dirt slowly.


    Yang Wei held a disbelief expression as he wanted to smack himself in the head and asked if this was just a dream.


    Elder Jing, who didn’t mind having her face filled with smoke from the cauldron explosion, stopped her movement to clean her shoes was an unbelievable matter.


    Elder Jing narrowed her eyesight when she could feel Yang Wei was judging her as she turned around and red at Yang Wei.


    Yang Wei didn’t expect the sudden gaze from Elder Jing as he stumbled backward.


    “This shoe was knitted by my mother so it’s precious to me so don’t you dare judge me.” Elder Jing scoffed as she rushed toward the Pagoda without slowing down for Yang Wei.


    Yang Wei quickly chased after Elder Jing and apologized for his questionable gaze at her behavior.


    “Hmph, if you’re truly sorry then you better help me obtain the inheritance otherwise, you can swallow 40 Stomach Killer,” Elder Jing disregarded his apologies and added a condition that sent a chill down onto Yang Wei’s bones.
