Chapter 490: Chapter 233 "Do you believe I will slap you?"_6
Lu Jin’an’s eyes flickered with suspicion: "The Life Gate is here?"
"Yes."
Lu Jin’an pondered: "The seed’s sprout grows towards one direction, but that direction is not fixed, so it might be possible to find another way out from here?"
"Exactly." Xiao Yinruo nodded: "Quite clever."
Lu Jin’an couldn’t bring himself to smile: "But the seed has already grown into such a towering tree, its root system should have occupied the whole seed by now, right?
Moreover, this is a trapped array targeting you, how do we leave from the ’Life Gate’?"
"Cut off one of the roots." Xiao Yinruo spoke lightly, but Lu Jin’an knew that this was a very difficult task.
Not to mention that the space of the Secret Realm is inherently stable, plus the years of reinforcement by Sumeru Mountain, the roots are bound to be unusually robust, how can they be broken so easily?
If Aunt Ruo had the power of the Divine Concealing Realm, he thought it wouldn’t be difficult, but Aunt Ruo wasn’t.
And in the golden body on that distant mountain, there must be the golden body of a Divine Concealing Great Buddha who passed away from the Buddhist Sect. Although they have passed away, the lingering Heart Demon is a Heart Demon of the Divine Concealing Realm, not something easily penetrable.
Divine Presence and Divine Concealment are only one realm apart, but the might of the Divine Concealment, not constrained by the Five Elements, is far superior to Divine Presence.
Lu Jin’an looked serious, staring at Xiao Yinruo’s profile, trying to sound relaxed: "Aunt Ruo, your Forget Love Path must even make the Heart Demon of the Divine Concealing Great Buddha fearful."
Xiao Yinruo reached out to touch his head: "This child is comforting me now? I’m much stronger than you."
Lu Jin’an smiled: "I just think you surely have a way."
"There is a way, but no rush for now." Xiao Yinruo glanced at the distant mountain range, sat cross-legged on the ground, recovering her Spiritual Power: "There is still a way to go to reach there, the dangers along the way are unknown, but they are minor issues, I will get you out."
Lu Jin’an sat beside her, pulled out a heap of Spirit Fruits from storage space: "I don’t have Immortal Pills, but I’m not short of Immortal Fruits."
Xiao Yinruo gave him a surprised look: "You have quite a fortune."
"Most were given by my Master." Lu Jin’an smiled: "She always told me to bring more when traveling... Sometimes I don’t even know how she sneaked them into my storage space."
"She treats you unlike a Daoist couple." Xiao Yinruo teased: "More like your mom."
As she spoke, she extracted all the Spiritual Energy from the Immortal Fruits to replenish her Spirit Sea.
"Nanzhi is quite similar too." Lu Jin’an said softly: "To be honest, I rarely felt motherly love from my own mom."
"She doesn’t care for you?"
"No." Lu Jin’an replied helplessly: "I was raised by my older sister."
Xiao Yinruo raised an eyebrow, about to speak, then remembered something and said: "When you were making waves in the Yulin Domain, the Seventh Miss of the Qin Clan was quite deferential to you."
Lu Jin’an blinked: "This matter even reached Qingmiao Palace?"
"Wherever the Saint Heir of the Wandao Sect goes, attention follows." Xiao Yinruo chuckled lightly, then turned the conversation: "Are you from the Lu Family?"
"Yes." Lu Jin’an didn’t hide it: "I ran away from home when I was almost ten."
Xiao Yinruo nodded, but didn’t ask for details.
Lu Jin’an casually picked up an apple that had turned into an ordinary fruit from an Immortal Fruit, took a bite and said: "I didn’t leave because my family treated me poorly..."
"I know." Xiao Yinruo said indifferently: "With such a high talent, which family would be willing to abandon you?"
Lu Jin’an "hmm"ed: "Speaking of which, I’m considered lucky to have wandered all the way from the Northern Boundary to the Central Region, and then met my Master and Senior Sister, before being taken to the Wandao Sect."
Xiao Yinruo pressed her lips: "Wanyu should know your identity by now, right?"
"Yes."
"Does Sect Master Zheng know?"
"Yeah." Lu Jin’an nodded again: "But it seems he knew long ago."
Xiao Yinruo laughed lightly: "Choosing a Crown Prince from another land... Sect Master Zheng trusts easily, but then again, your Lu family’s reputation isn’t very good."
"I know." Lu Jin’an smiled: "But what I want to say isn’t about that, it’s truly not an easy task wandering from the Northern Boundary to the Central Region."
Xiao Yinruo nodded, imagining how difficult it was for a ten-year-old child to wander like that, a single mistake could have resulted in becoming a ’missing person.’
However, she also didn’t believe that the Lu Family would let him leave so easily without any protective measures.
"But I survived." Lu Jin’an said: "For whatever reason, I survived."
"Hmm..." Xiao Yinruo gave him a strange look. Why does this child keep emphasizing this?
"I have a tough life." Lu Jin’an added.
Xiao Yinruo pressed her lips, not speaking immediately.
Lu Jin’an turned his head towards her, his voice calm: "Aunt Ruo, it’s hard to cross the barrier up ahead, bringing me along is a burden."
Xiao Yinruo’s eyes slightly narrowed, her voice suddenly cold: "Do you believe I will slap you?"
"Just like the recent Dead Tide." Lu Jin’an smiled: "If it weren’t to protect me, you could have come over without using Sword Skills, and I don’t think that ’Life Gate’ up ahead is that easy to pass through.
You must be thinking the same way..."
Slap!
Xiao Yinruo raised her right hand and let it fall, her gaze growing colder: "Did I not bring you over here?"
"Aunt Ruo, you are the second person who slapped me." Lu Jin’an rubbed his face, smiling: "But I really didn’t lie to you...
I truly have a tough life and really have a way to protect myself..."
Slap!
Another slap followed.
Xiao Yinruo kept a straight face: "Say one more word, try me?"
