Chapter 276 For the Mission
Chapter 276 For the Mission
At this time, quite a few people had gathered in the backyard. After Ruan Xihe and Fu Ling arrived, many eyes fell on them.
It was not only because of Fu Ling's outstanding appearance, but also because the two of them were brought in by the woman herself.
So among these many gazes, in addition to scrutiny, there is more hostility.
Only after the two were brought to the backyard and settled down did the woman from the Holy Maiden Church who was responsible for testing the talents return to the main hall.
The entire recruitment process took several hours, and more and more people came to the backyard.
After the recruitment of disciples was completed, the members of the Holy Maiden Church gathered together. There were six of them in total, and most of them wore veils.
They took out several talismans and opened a teleportation array in the hall where the test was conducted.
A halo of light lit up on the ground, and the teleportation array was blessed with the power of the Fulu, leading directly to the Holy Maiden Church.
When everyone followed the disciples of the Holy Maiden Church to the Holy Maiden Church, it was already getting late.
The six disciples of the Holy Maiden Sect looked up at the gradually darkening sky, and then there was a look of annoyance on their faces.
One of them came out and spoke to the hundreds of disciples who had been recruited.
"It's getting late today, and the leader and the others have gone to bed. You will stay in the front yard tonight, but remember, don't run around. If I find you leaving the front yard without permission, I will immediately remove your enrollment quota."
"Tomorrow morning, I will take you to the square. The leader will perform a holy light bathing ceremony for you, and then verify and assign your qualifications. You can choose which elder to worship under. After the ceremony, you can receive the blessing of the holy light. Do you understand?"
Everyone said in unison: "Got it."
Ruan Xihe hid in the crowd and did not make a sound.
"That's good to know. Bathing in the holy light is not something that ordinary people can enjoy. So today, you must remember what I said. Don't talk nonsense, don't walk around, and be careful with what you say and do. Do you understand?"
"understood."
The lecture lasted about a quarter of an hour.
After the lecture, the five men took all the recruited disciples to the front yard to choose their rooms.
There weren't a lot of rooms, but they were enough. Among the hundreds of people who came to the Holy Maiden Church, half of them were accompanied, so naturally couples would stay in one room.
After the room was set up, the five people left.
Because these five people warned everyone about the rules here in advance, it was quiet outside for a while and no one dared to shout or speak loudly.
Fu Ling stood quietly in front of the table, calm and composed, as if he was visiting the Holy Maiden Church in a peaceful and peaceful manner.
On the other hand, Ruan Xihe tapped the table from time to time, then stood up and looked around the room.
But there weren't many facilities in the room, so she didn't find anything suspicious.
"What are you looking for?"
Fu Ling frowned when he saw that she was unable to rest.
Ruan Xihe held his face and sighed, "I don't think it will be so peaceful tonight. The Saint Girl's people must have set some traps in the room."
"how you said that?"
Fu Ling looked at her with a smile.
Ruan Xihe shrugged and said naturally, "That person repeatedly told us not to leave the front yard tonight and to stay in our room. He must have done something in the room."
"So you found it?"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Xihe rolled his eyes at Fu Ling.
If she found something, would she need to sigh?
However, after thinking about it, Ruan Xihe suddenly had a new idea.
She stretched out her voice and said, "Or maybe, they didn't intend to do anything to us in the room, but something might happen somewhere else, and they didn't want us to find out, so they didn't let us run around..."
Speaking of this, Ruan Xihe's eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Fu Ling, let's go out and take a look!"
Fu Ling's lips curled slightly, "But didn't they say that if you are found out, you will be expelled from the Saint Maiden Church? If you are discovered, how will you carry out your mission?"
He himself might not have noticed that he talked so much today.
"Of course I'm not afraid!" Ruan Xihe patted his chest, then opened his palm, with two talismans lying inside, "I have this!"
This was a fresh sixth-grade invisibility talisman she had drawn last night after she discussed the strategy with Xia Yuanbai.
In addition, she has her own method of concealing her aura. It would be impossible for anyone to discover her unless they were a strong person at the fifth level of Spiritual Venerable or above, or a Spiritual Saint.
"it is good."
Seeing the excitement flashing in her eyes, Fu Lingchen's dark pupils softened a little.
After allowing Ruan Xihe to stick the invisibility talisman on the two of them, Fu Ling took the initiative to reach out and hold Ruan Xihe's hand.
"What are you doing?"
Ruan Xihe was stunned for a moment.
"This is all for the mission." Fu Ling said calmly, "If something goes wrong later, I can take you away immediately."
Ruan Xihe thought about it carefully and felt that what Fu Ling said made sense.
After all, she had never seen the leader of the Holy Maiden Cult, so she didn't know how powerful the leader was, or whether she could discover her invisibility talisman.
"Then I'll trouble you, Your Majesty, later." Ruan Xihe responded by pinching his fingers and winking at him.
In the past, when she called him Lord Emperor, Fu Ling would feel awkward and distant, but today, he actually felt a hint of tenderness in this title...
Could it be that she noticed something?
Fu Ling's ears suddenly felt hot, and then he turned his head away from her very quickly, and began to explain himself in a way that was not entirely clear.
"I promised to help you, so I will naturally help you complete the task. So everything I do is to complete the task as soon as possible and then change back into my own clothes."
Ruan Xihe nodded, suddenly realizing, "So that's how it is."
Seeing that she believed it, Fu Ling's heart stagnated again.
His eyes darkened, and his whole body was tinged with an indescribable sadness.
"Let's go."
He took the initiative to speak, took Ruan Xihe's hand and left the room.
...
The night was dark.
The Holy Maiden Sect is located on the cliff of Longyang Mountain. The terrain is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. The entire sect is filled with the sense of danger.
Especially at night, the sharp night wind whistled past, like the crying of an evil ghost, making people feel uneasy.
A little bit of cool moonlight leaked out from behind the thick clouds and sprinkled down, making the Holy Maiden Cult look even more eerie and oppressive.
Originally, Fu Ling was holding Ruan Xihe's hand as they walked out of the door, but now, it seemed that Ruan Xihe was walking in front, she was holding Fu Ling's hand, and Fu Ling was following behind her.
As time passed, an unpleasant and pungent smell gradually began to appear in the air within the Holy Maiden Church.
It smells like heather.
And the closer they got to the rear of the Holy Maiden Church, the stronger the smell became.
"Wait a minute."
Fu Ling suddenly stopped her from moving forward.
