"This is a Positioning Compass."
"Once you infuse it with True Yuan, it will display the exact location of Martial Saint Mountain, and by following the compass, you can reach the mountain gate."
"At the same time, this also serves as a pass to enter the mountain."
Chen Mo reached out to take it, puzzled, "But if you give this to me, won’t the sect cause you trouble?"
Shen Zhixia explained, "This was originally given to me by my master to give to you... He wishes to take you as a disciple, but due to certain reasons, it’s inconvenient for him to come to the Capital City personally, so if you have the time, he hopes you can visit Martial Saint Mountain."
Take a disciple?
Chen Mo shook his head.
He wasn’t sure if the Martial Saint truly had a heart for talent or if he noticed something suspicious, just like Ji Hongxiu, wanting to rely on him to weaken the influence of a deal.
"Sleeping with a Daoist Venerable is acceptable, a bit quirky in temper, but at least pleasing to the eye."
"But I heard the Martial Saint seems to be an old man..."
Nonetheless, since he is Shen Zhixia’s teacher, visiting Martial Saint Mountain is only a matter of time.
"No wonder you’re so carefree today, even playing roleplaying... Is this the reason?" Chen Mo suddenly realized.
Shen Zhixia’s cheeks flushed, biting her lip, "Over the upcoming period, I won’t be in the Capital City, so I wanted to leave a lasting impression on you... Besides, with so many girls around you, if I don’t do something, I’m afraid I’ll be forgotten..."
"How could that be..."
Chen Mo reached out and pinched her cheek, "Don’t worry, once I finish the tasks at hand, I’ll come to Martial Saint Mountain to bring you back."
"Really?" Shen Zhixia’s eyes sparkled.
"Cross my heart, hope to die."
"Alright, then let’s pinky swear!"
"Hmm."
Their pinky fingers hooked together.
"It’s a promise, Brother, you mustn’t lie to me~"
After receiving Chen Mo’s promise, Shen Zhixia’s mood immediately brightened, her smiling eyes resembling crescent moons.
"Oh, I wanted to ask you something." Chen Mo asked curiously, "Who did you learn all these things from?"
Her "uniform" was very professional, the details well-executed, unlike what a novice could come up with.
Moreover, her demeanor and the way she handled things seemed so realistic, as if she’d really been in prison...
Shen Zhixia hesitated for a while, finally confessing the truth, "After what happened at the Government last time, I felt I couldn’t just sit and wait for doom, so I thought to learn a thing or two at the Imperial Music Bureau..."
Chen Mo frowned, "Go to the Imperial Music Bureau... to learn?"
"Yes." Shen Zhixia shuffled, "This prison outfit was designed with the help of Miss Yu’er. She also brought in several Oiran for professional training..."
?
Chen Mo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
No wonder her performance was so convincing, turns out she went to the national art academy for advanced studies?
"Actually, Miss Yu’er also secretly gave me something else..."
"What is it?"
"It’s..."
Shen Zhixia hesitated for a long while.
She took out a white porcelain bottle from somewhere, opening the lid, a faint fragrance wafted out.
