Chapter 781: Guests Arrive.
Shi Lang and the rest of the people spent a night inside the Inheritance palace to recover from their bodies. The Terran also bought out a significant amount of spirit liquid for the members of the Asura Hall. Shi Tao was surprised by the quick changes in her body, and she also took the test of the palace.
However, she did not gain the acknowledgement of any senior. She was not disheartened. Many of the Spirit Phantoms told her that she had good potential but the reason she did not resonate with them was because her compatibility with them. Even Shi Lang did not resonate with them. The only reason he got to claim the ownership was because of the sword resonance he had with Demon Blade.
The people returned back to the place Amelia was staying at and Shi Lang called over Yang Niao. The man had gone off to see the injured from the Asura Hall squads. The teams were efficient but they still suffered some injuries, and as the deputy hall master, he had to check on his people.
Shi Lang sat down and gave Yang Niao a big barrel of spirit liquid and said, "You can give this to the injured of the team."
Yang Niao nodded and said, "Hall Master, I received a word from the hall. The two kids are here."
Shi Lang jumped up from his chair and asked, "How did they get here?"
Yang Niao gulped and said, "Umm, from what I know, Young Miss Xeidi fooled the guards and dragged Young Miss Mei with her."
The Terran covered his face with his palm, and Shi Tao whispered to her mom, "What is going on?"
Amelia smiled and replied, "Your father accepted two disciples. The elder one is Hao Mei, an alchemist prodigy, while another one is Yu Xeidi. She is a warrior like your father, and is very skilled."
Shi Lang gazed at Amelia and said, "Xiao Di works harder than the most of the people in the hall."
Amelia nodded and said, "I know. I wonder where they are."
Shi Lang sighed and said, "Did you send anyone to find where they are?"
Yang Niao nodded and replied, "I dispatched the patrolling groups, we will have a news soon."
Ying Yu asked, "Why are you not using your spiritual sense to located them."
Shi Lang smiled and said, "The side effect of the trick back there was not only taxing on my Dao Law comprehension, but also my spiritual sense. I am exhausted, and cannot find them."
Yun Xue commented, "They will be fine, do not worry. They must have someone guarding them."
Shi Lang shook his head and said, "Those two kids are more talented than you at the anti reconnaissance techniques."
Shi Tao was surprised and asked, "How old are these kids?"
Amelia smiled and replied, "None of them is older than twelve."
Yang Niao smiled and then left. Shi Lang sat down on the chair beside Amelia and said, "Tao, do you want to learn a few techniques from me?"
Shi Tao nodded and said, "I do not see the harm in it given that you are the big hot shot in the market."
The Terran rolled his eyes and said, "I did not expect you to grow into a hooligan. Look how you talk to your Baba."
The conversation started and the people found out a lot of things about Shi Lang and the way the lower realm worked. The Terran was at peace when he heard that the people were well and that the level of the civilization was improving in terms of spiritual knowledge.
Ying Yu and Yun Xue helped Shi Tao understand a lot of things in the Immortal Realm as well. Bo Qingtan asked, "I heard from brother Shi, you have a team of your own. Where are they?"
Shi Tao replied, "It is a small town in the southern deserts called Cosmic Cliff Town. For some reason that place is littered with Demon beasts. None of the people who join the protection task forces have managed to live past fifty battles."
Shi Lang asked calmly, "You have hunted fifty demon beasts?"
Shi Tao nodded and Shi Lang said, "When your uncle Yang comes, give him the coordinates. The Asura Hall will use that place as their training grounds."
Yun Xue looked at the sky and said, "You know, this is the reason not many people like you. Those poor young people just caught a break from life and death situation, do you wish to throw them back at it again?"
Amelia replied calmly, "Only when a person is at the edge of life and death their complete potential is put to use."
Yun Xue said, "I am not in disagreement, Sect Mistress Amelia, however, I just mean that they should have some time to rest."
Shi Lang said, "I will not send the frontier forces. I intend to dispatch the people at home, They are getting too relaxed. A pair of children managed to fool them. Hmph, lousy slackers."
The people chuckled and a young lady came over to them and said, "Sect Mistress, a young lady from Asura Sect dropped off two kids at the door. I wanted them to come over, but they seem pretty scared. They are both crying and we cannot seem to find any way to calm them down."
Shi Lang leaned back in the chair and said, "You can tell them if they did not come here in ten breaths, then I will come and find them for some nice training."
The young lady smiled and vanished from the sight. Shi Tao asked, "How much have you scared them?"
Shi Lang wanted to reply but then he spotted two shadows rushing over to them. He said, "Without fear, there is not respect."
People nodded and Shi Lang looked at the two little girls. They had been shedding crocodile tears, but right now they were both standing with their heads down. Shi Lang smiled and then returned to a calm look before he asked, "How did you two fool the guards?"
Hao Mei and Yu Xeidi exchanged a glance before the latter said, "I prepared a sculpture of me and senior sister."
Hao Mei said, "Then I carved a spirit gathering array in the statue along with the channels to run the energy through pretending for it to look like we were cultivating."
Shi Lang remained calm but the rest of the people were shocked and they were talking to each other with spiritual communications about how these two could come up with such an idea.
The Terran continued with his interrogation, "How did you hide your spiritual fluctuations?"
Hao Mei replied, "Master, you taught us the trick to become indifferent and we have been trying that for sometime. This time we managed to sneak past the guards."
Shi Lang then asked, "How long did it take for them to discover the truth?"
Yu Xeidi scoffed and said, "It was Hie Lei wo discovered us. The elders all thought we were being good."
Shi Lang finally could not hold back and burst into laughter. The two girls were stunned, they thought Shi Lang was angry on them. Yu Xeidi spotted Amelia and held Hao Mei's hand to rush over to her side.
Amelia smiled and asked, "What happened?"
Yu Xeidi peaked at Shi Lang and whispered, "Master will put us in Tartarus pit, Mistress. I do not want to go there. It is so tiring. Please save us. We will never do anything like this again."
Shi Lang said, "I am not angry, but what you did was indeed wrong. I do not stop you from going out of the campus, but you both know what the world really is like. Next time, take an elder with you."
Shi Tao sneered and said, "You are saying that because all the people in the guard detail will be going south to fight Demon beasts."
Yu Xeidi and Hao Mei looked at Shi Tao with curiosity. Amelia said, "This is your senior sister. She is Shi Tao, master and my daughter. She just came over from the lower realm."
The two girls were surprised but Shi Tao came closer to them and squatted on the ground. She waved her hand and took out two hover boards. She said, "These two are meeting gifts from me to you. You both are too young to fly on swords. These hover boards are self sufficient and they will never run out of spiritual energy. They can also block a direct attack from anyone below Spirit Lord realm."
The eyes of the people sparkled and Shi Lang tilted his head as he asked grimly, "Did you test it during one of your battles?"
Shi Tao shivered and looked at Amelia, who sighed and shook her head. Shi Lang was moving into his protective father mode. However, before she could say anything, a loud voice echoed in the city, "Where is the sinner who dared to do this to our High Abbot? Come out, the House of lotus demands an explanation."
Amelia said, "Go easy on them."
Shi Lang chuckled and yelled, "Oh, another bunch of bald donkeys dared to show up with their idea of justice and honesty mixed up with selfishness and blind faith. About time I kick some sense in those hollow skulls."
His voice also echoed in the surroundings and he vanished from his spot to attend to the uninvited guests.
