Chapter 281: The Thoughtful Disciple
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
No matter how strong Wang Ling was, he was in essence still a student, and since he was a student, he had to study . Actually, it felt like he was committing a crime by leaving a clone behind to take his place in school . It was like when many people played the whole summer or winter holiday away, and only did their homework on the last day .
But even if Wang Ling got Pen that guy to do his homework every time, it would take just a few minutes to finish it . . .
The bullet train, powered by spirit energy, sped on toward Winter city, covering tens of thousands of li in just a short three hours . And like everyone said, it was obvious that as they approached the city, the temperature dropped rapidly . Looking around the carriage, Wang Ling saw plenty of cultivators deliberately put on extra clothing .
Those who hadn't reached the Golden Core stage would find it a little difficult to withstand the chill in Winter city .
On this side, in contrast, none of the seven people from the chat group got up, nor did they put on more clothes; they looked quite at ease . Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal was even wearing the long johns which Wang Ling had given him, so he wasn't afraid of the cold at all .
Looking at the white snowy landscape and the cloudless blue sky outside the train, Wang Ling's agitated heart settled significantly . Absorbing himself in homework was actually one way of calming himself down .
"Tch, is it getting below sixty degrees now? Some magic treasures have very low tolerance for the cold; in a stark environment like Winter city, they're probably only able to perform at half their power . " Fatty Luo looked outside the window .
Next to him, Dharmaraja glanced at Fatty Luo's undershirt, large shorts, and his palm-leaf fan, and shivered . "Brother Luo, can you put on some more clothes? I'm not cold, but looking at you makes me feel cold . "
That was Fatty Luo's trademark getup — an undershirt, shorts and the palm-leaf fan, the same way that Dharmaraja always had goggles with him .
"Who cares?" Fatty Luo automatically ignored Dharmaraja's complaint . "My undershirt and shorts are very good at keeping me warm . "
If Fatty Luo didn't say anything, no one would believe that these undershirt and shorts were actually magic treasures, and were even top-quality vestments .
About ten minutes later, an attendant's pleasant voice sounded throughout the train .
"Dear passengers, thank you for taking the harmony class spirit energy bullet train . We will be arriving at the final station, Winter city, shortly . Thank you for your support, and we look forward to seeing you again . Have a nice trip . . . "
When the seven of them got out at the station, each person was stopped at the exit and asked to produce their ID card .
This was exactly what Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal had expected would happen .
Although Winter city was where Huaxiu's cultivation military troops were stationed, regular people weren't banned from coming here . It might be cold, but the snowy landscape views were truly a sight . . .
Wang Ling heard that back then, Little Black had drawn inspiration from an ice sculpture he had seen in Winter city to invent that "Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon . " The owners of the ice sculpture had been a gray-haired uncle who liked to pick his nose and a girl with her hair put up in buns 1 .
Because he had collected all types of maps of magic treasures over the years, Fatty Luo had the honor of being their guide this time .
With the location Wang Ling had earmarked using his Memory Sketching Skill combined with the map of Winter city, Fatty Luo could already basically verify Immortal Mansion's location .
"It's on Sanyuan Road! I'm sure of it!"
In the freezing wind and snow, Fatty Luo in his shorts stood on a long bench in the train station's front square and confirmed the final location for everyone with an excited face . "Lord Jingke! I'm coming to find you!"
This fanboy Fatty Luo's confidence in Jingke was clear from his words, since he had said "coming" instead of "saving . "
In his view, Jingke alone was more than strong enough to directly annihilate Immortal Mansion .
Wang Ling furrowed his eyebrows slightly . " . . . "
He just had a bad feeling . He recalled the prophetic dream which Loopy Toad had told him about previously . In it, a fatty had been tied to an iron post, and then had been pierced through the heart by countless arrows . . . Wang Ling had the faint feeling that among their number, if this fatty wasn't Fatty Luo, then it would be Dharmaraja .
"Brother Ling, is there a problem?" Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal asked, noticing that Wang Ling's expression didn't look very good .
Wang Ling hurriedly shook his head .
Before he could determine whether or not Loopy Toad's prophetic dream was real, Wang Ling thought that there was absolutely no need to cause panic .
"Then it's decided, let's go to Sanyuan Road first and take a look," said Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal .
"But how are we going to get there?" Cailian Zhenren asked .
Most of them weren't familiar with Winter city . Of the seven of them, only Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal had been here several times on assignment, but he still wasn't familiar with Sanyuan Road .

"Should we take an unlicensed car? I saw a lot of unlicensed car drivers sneaking around in the square just now . " Fatty Luo smiled shiftily .
In refining and collecting magic treasures over the years, he had actually racked up a record for robbing tombs . . . In each place he went to, he would hire an unlicensed car to take him to his destination, so those unlicensed drivers had maintained special connections with him .
"Brother Luo, forget your outrageous idea . . . it'd be very troublesome if we got caught in an unlicensed car . " Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal sighed . "We'll use Dididache 2 and call for a commercial car . "
But just as Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal was about to open the app, a black commercial car approached them from a distance . . .
"Azure licence plates?" Everyone couldn't help frowning, since these plates were only used by Winter city's government .
While Wang Ling was feeling suspicious, his phone suddenly rang . He looked at the screen display — unexpectedly, it was Odd Zhuo who was calling . . .
Staring at the approaching government car, which was slowing down, Wang Ling finally answered the call after several seconds of his wristwatch vibrating .
"Hello, shifu !"As soon as he answered the call, Odd Zhuo on the other end was already talking excitedly . "Are you in Winter city now? Why didn't you tell me your disciple before you left?!"
" . . . "
Wang Ling's lips twitched, and while he was wondering how Odd Zhuo had found out, the latter was already explaining it . "Today, Warden Liang and I were checking out something related to the Master of Shadow Stream's younger sister in our custody, and his online surveillance system here has a record of your arrival in the city; we knew as soon as you swiped your third generation ID cards . Don't worry, shifu , I would never ever have the guts to monitor your movements!"
Wang Ling: " . . . "
Wang Ling: " . . . "
Odd Zhuo: "The black commercial car in front of you was arranged by a colleague in Winter city's government upon our request . It's not easy to move around in Winter city, so feel free to have them take you wherever you want to go . "
Wang Ling: " . . . " As expected, a disciple was a shifu 's warm cotton-padded jacket 3 .
. . .
After saying that, Odd Zhuo hung up in excitement .
In the office at Songhai First Prison, Warden Liang looked at him strangely . "Director Zhuo . . . why are you so happy? Is your shifu going to pass on his teachings to you?"
"Oh, no . " Odd Zhuo shook his head, then sighed . "It's just that I've been so busy lately that I haven't seen my shifu in a long time . After talking with him on the phone, I feel much better . "
"Director Zhuo, something doesn't seem right about your shifu -and-disciple relationship . "
Warden Liang gave Odd Zhuo his opinion . "A shifu and disciple who don't meet often are just like lovers in a long-distance relationship; if you don't keep in touch regularly, it's likely that you won't be able to maintain this connection for long!"
It would have been better if Warden Liang hadn't said anything; when he finished, Odd Zhuo was a little anxious, and gripped his hand emotionally . "Many thanks for the warning, brother!"Warden Liang: "What are you doing?"
Odd Zhuo: "Buying a ticket to Winter city! I'm going to go look for my shifu !"
Warden Liang: " . . . "
