Chapter 215: Be Prepared for Danger in Times of Peace, the Qi of the Dao

"Since it's gone, it's gone; why did you have to release the deceit beast?" Zhao Wuyang was very puzzled. The few of them were strangers in the Yunmeng Daze, and having finally encountered a local, even if it was a spirit beast, it was at least one that could speak, right? It could have at least pointed out the way for everyone, to some extent.

Lingxiang, on Long Qi's back, naturally understood what Zhao Wuyang was thinking. She smiled and said, "The words of a deceit beast are nine parts false out of ten. The remaining one or two parts are merely made up randomly because it doesn't know the truth. Keeping it here would not only fail to guide us, but would instead add unnecessary trouble. It is better to let it go."

As soon as she finished speaking, Adao, who was hiding on Lingxiang's back, suddenly poked his head out: "So, when it said we would never be able to leave the Yunmeng Marsh, that was a lie too, right?"

Lingxiang smiled and reached out to flick Adao's little nose: "And what does Adao think?"

In truth, Lingxiang herself did not know how to leave this place. It was just that Fairy Tumi had been here before and had safely exited the Water Mirror, so she must have encountered some opportunity. However, there was not a single word recorded in her notes, so Lingxiang did not dare to speak with certainty and merely asked Adao in return.

Adao pinched his chin with one hand, pretending to be serious, and after humming a few times, he spoke: "Since it never speaks the truth, then it must have been trying to deceive me. And here I was, carefully planning in the cave how to spend my days here in the future."

Regarding the matter of carrying Lingxiang on his back while traveling, Long Qi was naturally more than willing, but he had not expected that Adao would also climb onto his back with such peace of mind, which made him feel somewhat annoyed.

Yet, there was nothing he could do about the annoyance. Don't let Adao's childlike appearance fool you; when he talks about logic, he has a whole set of arguments. He claimed his legs were short and he wasn't good at running, and then asked if Long Qi was perhaps so weak that he couldn't even carry a small child, which made Lingxiang giggle incessantly. Long Qi was left with his breath stuck in his chest, neither going up nor down, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

But he couldn't very well lower himself to the level of a small child, could he? Although he did not believe Adao was as he appeared on the outside.

Just as Long Qi was secretly fuming, Zhao Wuyang spoke again: "So we aren't going to look for Brother Liu Xia and Senior Sister Banxia?"

Mentioning those two, Lingxiang was not overly worried, but she did understand why Fairy Tumi had not brought Chiyanzi into the Water Mirror back then—more people only meant more trouble.

That the few of them could gather together now was already a coincidence, but how could there be so many coincidences in the world? The vastness of the Yunmeng Marsh had long been recorded in ancient books. The place where they were now was a piece of marshland that Yunzhongjun had moved here in its entirety. If they really wanted to find those two, it would likely not be an easy task to accomplish in a short time.
