"W-What do you mean, Senior Wen?" a junior disciple asked. "Among us? How could there be anything among us?"
"Are you sure the tracker is working correctly?" It was Guo Lingling this time. "If only Senior Zhong were here …" she mumbled, "she never makes a mistake with these artifacts."
Wen Shiyin raised an eyebrow, but before she could respond, Li Yuxian spoke first. "My tracker says the same thing," he said and held up a crystal in his hand. I wasn't sure how to read the response from his artifact, though the light glowing in all directions seemed to suggest that the result matched Wen Shiyin's. "So stop whining, Guo Lingling. Also, stop shifting so much to make all those noises under your feet."
Guo Lingling's face flashed multiple colors quickly, turning white and then red. "I'm only suggesting reasonable possibilities! And I'm not making any noises!"
Happy Halloween everyone! I actually timed this chapter as a treat haha. It’s not exactly “spooky”… but I hope it fits the vibe!
What does everyone think of all the action scenes so far? I’m considering making them a bit longer for the Jade Temple arc, since it’s hard to build up enough tension within one chapter, but I wasn’t sure how interested you guys are in reading action (it’s not the focus of the book after all)… Do you prefer the way it is now or would you like to see more?
