"You scared me! I thought we really weren’t going to make it," Mo Yan exclaimed.

Blade Master Hai Bian shook his head. "You’re a Demon Cultivator, for crying out loud. How can something like this scare you? Don’t you have a Nightmare Specialization? Just scare them to death."

Liuyue Xue stood to the side, silent and ice-cold.

Chewing on a popsicle, Chi Xue Child asked, "Are we the only ones in the first group?"

Blade Master Hai Bian said, "Yeah. The people from the Perception Department have to look after those two kids, so they’ll set off in a few days. The others are all planning to go with their own sects. Not like us—a bunch of stragglers and Loose Cultivators."

That was right. Blade Master Hai Bian was a Loose Cultivator, so he naturally had few restrictions. As for Chi Xue Child, he was the only one from his mountain going, so he had even fewer restrictions.

The only one with restrictions was Liuyue Xue, who was forced to depart with this group because she was escorting Mo Yan.

Mo Yan, naturally, had no choice in the matter.

This was why Jiang Zuo frowned; he had seen these four people the moment he arrived.

However, he didn’t plan to deliberately avoid them. ’There’s no need for that here.’

Naturally, Chi Xue Child and the others saw Jiang Zuo too. Mo Yan exclaimed in surprise, "Boss Po Xiao? You’re going to the Holy Land too?"

Chi Xue Child was also excited. "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao, have you come around?"

Although Po Xiao’s Cultivation wasn’t high, he always did things ordinary people couldn’t. With him around, the chances of being in the spotlight were very high.

That was how Chi Xue Child saw it.

The more you were in the spotlight, the more attention you attracted, and the more attention you attracted, the greater the chance of running into a Fairy around the corner.

Jiang Zuo shook his head. "Just sightseeing."

"Sightseeing?" The four of them didn’t quite understand.

’The Holy Land has tour groups?’

Jiang Zuo didn’t explain further and walked straight toward the airport.

「Atop Chi Xue Child’s mountain」

Zi Feng received a secret letter. After reading it, he chuckled. "Someone else is going to stir up trouble in the Holy Land? The Holy Land is really disaster-prone."

A beautiful Fairy stood behind Zi Feng. She spoke up, asking, "Shouldn’t we inform our little junior brother? He’s gone to the Holy Land, after all."

"Don’t worry, what could happen? At worst, he’ll just get seriously injured. I wonder if this will be a chance to get Mo Yan killed off."

"Is Junior Sister Mo Yan that detestable? We have pitifully few girls here. Out of Master’s seven disciples, I’m the only female. Shouldn’t we be happy that Mo Yan is staying with us for a while?" the woman asked curiously.

Zi Feng looked at his junior sister. "Junior Sister Lan Yue, you just got back, so you have no idea what kind of person Demon Cultivator Mo Yan is. You don’t know just how outrageously bad her cooking is."

The Fairy known as Lan Yue smiled. "Is that so? Well, it’s not like I’ll have a chance to find out. I have to go out again soon. I’ll have to leave it to my senior and junior brothers to bear with it. You need to be more tolerant of girls."

Zi Feng looked up at the sky. "I don’t think our sect needs female disciples at all. They tattle at the drop of a hat, and the main point is, when they do, someone actually listens."

Lan Yue: "..."

’That’s because you guys are completely nuts!’

She remembered all too well how badly this Eldest Senior Brother of hers had messed with her when she first arrived. He hadn’t treated her like a girl in the slightest.

*******

Jiang Zuo and Chi Xue Child’s group arrived at the airport terminal. There were two gateways in total.

Jiang Zuo chose the first gateway, and Chi Xue Child and the others watched in surprise as he walked into it.

Mo Yan asked, "Didn’t you guys say the first gateway is for ordinary people?"

Blade Master Hai Bian added, "Did you guys notice? Fellow Daoist Po Xiao has no Cultivation fluctuations on him right now. He’s concealed his Cultivation."

Liuyue Xue frowned in deep thought. She wished these people could read what she wanted to say just by looking at her face.

However, she was completely ignored.

’I’m so beautiful, too. Forget it, I’ll just type it out.’

She then took out her phone and typed a message: "Do you guys think Fellow Daoist Po Xiao is really just sightseeing? Traveling as an ordinary person."

Chi Xue Child read it and shook his head. "I remember that it’s even harder for ordinary people to go to the Holy Land than it is for Cultivators. I heard you need help from someone inside the Holy Land to book a plane ticket, otherwise you can’t even get on the plane. Could it be that Fellow Daoist Po Xiao has connections inside?"

Mo Yan immediately said, "Could it be that Boss Po Xiao hooked up with the Saintess?"

Blade Master Hai Bian said, "Impossible. Remember, Fellow Daoist Po Xiao is going as an ordinary person. If he’d won over the Saintess, he definitely would have gone using his ’Po Xiao’ identity. There’s no way he’d make the Saintess go through all the trouble of the ordinary person’s route."

Now they were all completely baffled.

But when it came to Po Xiao, he couldn’t be judged by common sense. The unreasonable was, in fact, the only thing that was reasonable.

Jiang Zuo actually hadn’t known there were two completely different gateways at first, but he didn’t mind. He wasn’t trying to hide anything from anyone.

The only thing he didn’t want was for Su Qi to know that he was a cultivator—at least, not yet.

Su Qi had hidden it from him for almost ten years. It was impossible for him not to have any complaints.

’Hiding it while we were dating was one thing, but to still be hiding it after we got married...’

’If it weren’t for my rebirth, who knows how long she would have kept hiding it... Ugh, never mind. If it weren’t for my rebirth, I would have gone my whole life without ever knowing Su Qi was a cultivator.’

’Besides, I never even met Su Qi in my previous life. She probably met a tragic end somewhere along the way.’

The thought made Jiang Zuo freeze. ’It seems I need to get stronger, and fast, because I don’t know when Su Qi might run into an accident.’

"Sir, please wait a moment." Jiang Zuo was stopped while going through the security check.

At that moment, he was pulled back from his thoughts.

The security officer was a handsome, well-dressed man. He looked at Jiang Zuo and said, "Sir, you can’t bring pets inside."

Jiang Zuo was taken aback. "I can’t? Why? This isn’t an ordinary airport."

"Because our planes aren’t ordinary, either. The places we travel through are completely different, and the passengers on board are not ordinary. Without special protection, it would be very difficult for a normal animal to arrive at the destination alive," the man explained.

Jiang Zuo said flatly, "And what if I don’t care whether it lives or dies?"

The handsome man smiled faintly. "We care about our reputation."

’Alright, a very tactful refusal.’

Jiang Zuo had no choice but to take out his phone and call Su Qi. ’If I can’t get through, I’ll have to figure something out myself.’ But he was also curious. ’Didn’t Su Qi consider that I might bring Sweet Potato along? Couldn’t she have made arrangements in advance?’

As expected, the call didn’t go through.

Since he couldn’t ask Su Qi for help, Jiang Zuo had to come up with a solution himself.

He asked the handsome security officer, "How can I take it inside?"

The handsome security officer replied considerately, "Unless it’s a Spirit Beast. Do you know what a Spirit Beast is? It’s the kind that’s very intelligent and powerful."

Jiang Zuo looked at the man. This wasn’t an ordinary person, either; he had a tiny bit of Cultivation. Most of the people here were like him.

However, due to their limited aptitude, it was difficult for them to make any significant progress.

’Perhaps Tier Two is the highest achievement they’ll ever reach in their lifetime.’

Jiang Zuo said, "As it happens, my duck is also very smart. Perhaps it’s a Spirit Beast, too."

The handsome security officer pointed to a giant eagle in the waiting area. "Sir, do you see that eagle? That’s what you call a Spirit Beast. Your duck is too ordinary."

Jiang Zuo looked at the eagle, which seemed a bit familiar. He then asked, "Then if my duck can make that eagle obey it, does that mean I can take it in?"

The handsome security officer was a little skeptical, but he nodded anyway. "Yes, sir. But if it doesn’t work, please don’t waste any more time here. After all, boarding is about to begin."
