Hidden Moth

Chapter 142: Unaware of the Years in the Mountain (Part 2)


He didn't drive far ahead before he stopped the car, rolled down the passenger window, and shouted, "Where are you headed?"

Wei Luo was walking with a backpack towards the subway station, turned his head, saw him, and replied with a smile, "What a coincidence! I'm going to the airport!"

He Kao: "Hop in, I can give you a lift since I'm going that way."

Wei Luo opened the car door, sat inside, and asked, "Are you catching a flight, too?"

He Kao: "I'm not flying, just passing by the airport."

Wei Luo: "Then you're going in the wrong direction."

He Kao: "Can't I just give you a ride? It's rare to meet by chance."

Wei Luo: "You got something going on?"

He Kao: "It's exactly because I've got nothing going on that I can drop you off. Where are you flying to?"

Wei Luo: "Han Ning."

He Kao: "Oh, still early, 5:30 flight." Two days ago, Qian Guran took that exact flight, so He Kao knew the time.

Wei Luo: "I'm used to heading out early to prevent getting lost."

He Kao puzzled, "Do you get lost when you're not practicing Celestial Secret Skill?"

Wei Luo: "It's a habit; I tend to get distracted sometimes."

He Kao: "Have you bought the ticket yet?"

Just a casual question, to his surprise, Wei Luo answered, "Not yet, I'll buy it when I get to the airport."

He Kao stopped the car, took out his phone, and said, "Going to the airport like this? Let me check for you first if there are any tickets available. Did you bring your ID card?"

Wei Luo: "Yeah, I brought it... Actually, I haven't flown before."

He Kao: "Then what do you usually travel by?"

Wei Luo: "For nearby places, I just walk, also taken tractors, tricycles, small trucks, cars, buses..."

He Kao: "What about faraway places? Like going to university or coming to Qi Yuan."

Wei Luo: "High-speed train... Honestly, I rarely travel, besides going to university, this is my first long-distance trip."

He Kao: "Your family must be trusting, not worried about you getting lost."

Wei Luo: "There's a first time for everything! That's why my master said, when I arrived at Qi Yuan, I could find you. Like today, I bumped into you, otherwise, I might really have gotten lost."

He Kao: "There's only one ticket left, should I buy it?"

Wei Luo: "Buy it, of course."

He Kao: "Name, ID number."

Being thorough, He Kao helped her buy the ticket and then said with a laugh, "Six hundred six, consider it my treat for a meal."

Wei Luo: "No way, then I'd be short one meal," saying that she transferred the money to He Kao and then asked, "Were you just wanting to get my ID number?"

He Kao dodged the question, "Since it's your first time flying, let me tell you how to go through boarding... Are you just bringing this little?" Seeing she only had a backpack,

Wei Luo: "I'm just going back to Phoenix Tail Town, not moving houses."

He Kao: "Your master let you train at Qi Yuan, and you're allowed to go back for the New Year?"

Wei Luo: "I'm training at Qi Yuan, not imprisoned at Qi Yuan. Last time, I got lost and ended up in Hengzhou."

He Kao: "Did you take the wrong bus?"

Wei Luo: "I walked over."

Well, impressive. He Kao couldn't ask more, just changed the topic, "Do they celebrate the New Year in Grotto Heavens of the Magic Sect?"

Wei Luo: "New Year's in a Grotto Heaven? It's only celebrated in villages! But around New Year, Grotto Heavens are packed, with many coming to pay respect to patriarchs and visit elders.

There are also visitors stepping out from Grotto Heavens to neighborhood villages, I always get a lot of gifts each time, even if just little trinkets, they are rather rare so I must go back... What about you, are you going for outdoor adventures?"

Wei Luo has high cultivation and is Elder Jiang's direct disciple, but is very young, her birthday in May, only nineteen now, so she gets many unusual gifts from high-ranking sorcerers every New Year.

He Kao's upbringing was almost the opposite, yet he has a good mindset, only feeling envy without jealousy.

He Kao also bought a set of outdoor expedition gear and supplies, piled up in the trunk, but with her Divine Sense, Wei Luo could see what was in the trunk with just a glance.

He Kao sighed, "I don't know where to go this Spring Festival, definitely not going back home, might as well go for a road trip... Why are you looking at me like that?"

Wei Luo: "I really envy you, you can choose where to celebrate New Year."

Really? That can be interpreted like this, quite a novel angle. He Kao asked back, "You can't skip going home?"

Wei Luo: "Of course not! Lingxi Sect has few disciples. As one of Lingxi Sect's stewards, I have to guide others to enter Grotto Heavens too."

He Kao suddenly remembered what Gao Xue'e said that day. Later, He Kao asked Gao Xue'e if the matter with his eldest aunt's family could be resolved? Gao Xue'e said she didn't know because she's not a fortune teller.

But the one he encountered today, should be the calculating type. The title for Tier Four Sorcerer of Lingxi Sect is Divine Stick, and Wei Luo's cultivation is higher than Divine Stick.

He Kao: "I've run into something recently, wondering if I could consult you."

Wei Luo surprisingly showed a delighted expression: "I told you something was up, didn't I? You didn't admit it! Go ahead, the condition is you treat me to a meal today."

He Kao: "Then I can only treat you at the airport."

Wei Luo: "Exactly, at the airport. I haven't had lunch yet... take it slow, I'm not in a rush."

He Kao slowed down, recounting what's been going on at his eldest aunt's family recently, still the version modified by that Xiaopang. After hearing it, Wei Luo was straightforward, "It's simple, you messed up."

He Kao asked back: "How did I mess up?"

Wei Luo: "You didn't want to fix it, because you thought, debt has been settled, there's no need for them to pay back, and knowing they won't return, right?"
