Chapter 127 - Keeper

Not being able to find Lu Mingshu, Kou Wei and the rest left the pharmacy and started to wander around the street.

Disappointed that they were unable to find her, Qi Sheng kept pestering Shao Zhengyang, "Where did she go? Brother Shao, was she in the hotel when you came out?"

"No," Shao Zhengyang sighed in his heart. He lost count of how many times he had answered Qi Sheng. "If Brother Qi doesn't trust me, we can go back to the hotel right now to have a look."

"Brother Shao, just ignore him," Kou Wei added, "He's like that. If he wants something, he will keep thinking about it until he gets it."

"How foolish, eh?" Yue Lingyin added on.

Shao Zhengyang and the rest burst into laughter.

Qi Sheng pouted, "I refused to believe that none of you are curious about her."

"I am!" Kou Wei pointed his fan at the street, "Aren't we looking for her right now?"

Qi Sheng rolled his eyes at Kou Wei, "Are you teasing me again? Tianyun City is huge; how are we supposed to find someone just by loitering around here?"

Kou Wei was about to retort when Yue Lingyin suddenly pointed at something, "Eh? It's so crowded; perhaps something interesting is going on?"

Their group squeezed into the crowd, only to realize that people were crowding in front of a rune-carving shop.

Kou Wei looked around and tapped on a spectator, "Mister, may I know what's going on?"

"Oh, they held a competition at their arena just now."

"What's there to see? It's just rune carving," Qi Sheng continued pouting.

"You're wrong, Mister," the guy looked at him seriously. "I had the same mindset as you, but just now, something weird happened..."

The guy told the group what happened earlier on, and all of them were taken aback.

"Drawing a talisman in the air?" Yue Lingyin muttered in awe as she turned to a girl, "Yun, have you learned that before?"

The girl who was called out shook her head, "Nope. Maybe I wasn't paying attention?"

"Drawing a talisman in midair!" Kou Wei fanned himself. "Hmm... this is significant. If the rune-carving industry goes this way, rune-carvers would become very powerful..." he muttered.

This bunch of people were all the best of their sects, and they had exceedingly good foresight. If what Kou Wei said came true, rune-carvers would become a necessity in the world.

"Mister, may I ask..." Shao Zhengyang suddenly commented, "did you say that the girl was called Miss Lu? Was she wearing clothes that are similar to mine?"

The guy scanned Shao Zhengyang and exclaimed in excitement, "Ah, yeah! Do you happen to know her? What sect are you from, anyway? Tianyun City is so crowded nowadays, so it's hard to recognize..."

After hearing that response, the group of people stared at each other in silence, faces turning pale.

After a moment, Qi Sheng cut the silence. Softly, he asked, "Brother Shao, is it your Junior Lu again?"

Shao Zhengyang sighed and nodded, "Among all the Harmonization Realm disciples in Tianyun City, she suits the description most."

Shao Zhengyang was currently having mixed feelings. Previously, when he first knew that Lu Mingshu went to the arena at the Hall of Immortals to compete, he was taken aback by the fact that she even knew about that industry. Now, she was here competing at a rune-carving shop, and he wasn't sure how to feel. How many more pleasant surprises would this junior of his, who had stayed in Green Jade Valley for eight years, bring him? Or should he say... shock?
