Back to Zhangjia Village...

"etc!"

Lin Wu realized something and asked Hua Xu, "I want to go back to Zhangjia Village. Do I have to go to Gugui Village first, then to Jiuhe Village, and take a bus back from there?"

Mo Chuan pretended to think about it, nodded slightly and said, "If we take the ordinary path, this is the way to go."

Lin Wu immediately thought, she didn’t know the way to Gugui Village, and since those people just now were from Gugui Village, couldn’t she just follow them?

Thinking of this, Lin Wu was about to get up and chase after the person to stop him.

"what you do?"

Mochuan called her.

Lin Wu said, "Go and ask those people to wait for me and take me back to Gugui Village. I have been away for long enough. I have to go back to Zhangjia Village. There are still many things to do there."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Wu thought of something, stopped suddenly, and turned back to look at Mochuan.

Mo Chuan's eyelids twitched slightly when she looked at him.

"Then what do you want to do as a teacher?"

Lin Wu went back to sit down, moved the stool closer to Mo Chuan, glanced at him and said, "Who knows how far they have gone, and I don't even know which way they are going. How stupid would it be to chase them? I might not catch them, and I would be exhausted to death."

She pointed at the bell hanging on the end of Mochuan's hair.

"You could have used this to call them over, right? Then just call them back, so I don't have to make that trip."

Mo Chuan raised his eyebrows, "You are the one who has something to do with them, but you want me to save you trouble?"

Lin Wu said confidently: "You call yourself my master, so what's wrong with doing me a small favor?"

"So, little girl, now you acknowledge the title of disciple? Since you acknowledge it, then you should complete the formalities immediately." Mo Chuan asked deliberately.

Lin Wu shut up and looked at Mo Chuan.

Mochuan waited calmly for her to speak first.

After a moment, Lin Wu simply turned his head and said, "Forget it. If they don't want to go back, then they don't have to. It's not like I can't find Gugui Village by myself. There's no difference between walking alone and walking with many people. We're all walking, and I won't walk less just because there are more people."

As she said this, she was about to get up and go back to her room.

But I failed to leave.

——Mochuan grabbed her.

The man sighed softly, and used a little force to pull her to sit down, with a puzzled tone: "Who did you learn to be so stubborn?"

"Anyway, it's not with you." Lin Wu said emotionlessly.

Mo Chuan raised his eyebrows slightly and raised his hand to hook a strand of hair.

Lin Wu looked back at him.

But Mo Chuan just raised his chin slightly and pointed at the bell hanging at the end of his hair, saying: "This is a Gu bell. There is no bead inside, but a Gu worm raised by a special method. So this bell does not ring normally. It will only ring a few times when the Gu worm inside is awakened by the breath. At the same time, the sub-worm related to it will also wake up on the other side and make sounds for communication purposes."

Lin Wu became interested: "There are such poisonous insects."

She wants to understand or learn everything that she doesn't know but is very interesting.

However, the tone of the conversation changed and Mochuan's next words instantly made her lose all interest.

"It has a distance limit, it is only useful within a hundred meters. Previously, those people from Gugui Village were not far away, and when I used it, they would ask for permission to come over. Now those people are far away, and it is useless."

Lin Wu's attention was only on: "...It means that I still have to go find someone by myself, or go to Gugui Village by myself later."

Mochuan: "Yeah."

Lin Wu: "...But after wasting such a while, they must have gone further away, right? I can only go to find Gugui Village by myself?"

Mo Chuan praised: "Smart."

Lin Wu: “…………”

Is this the time to brag?

"Why didn't you say so earlier?!"

If she had said it earlier, she would have gone after him! Fortunately, she didn't really kowtow to him to become his disciple, otherwise, after kowtowing, she would have received such useless news, and she might have been unable to resist and committed treason on the spot.

Mo Chuan was quite calm: "You didn't even ask if it could be used just now."

Lin Wu: “…………”

Pian Mochuan pulled her back at this time.

When Lin Wu glared at him, Mo Chuan twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, and a barely detectable smile flashed across his eyes.

"It can't be used, but the master didn't say anything. There is no other way for you to return to Zhangjia Village as soon as possible."

Lin Wu was stunned: "What do you mean? Isn't there more than one way to Jiuhe Village?"

"Um."

"Is it faster than going to Jiuhe Village?"

"quick."

"How fast?"

"About..."

Mo Chuan pretended to think for a moment and said, "A few minutes."

“……???”

Lin Wu suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

She looked unconvinced and suspicious: "This is faster than riding a rocket. What kind of road can be like this? You...you are not kidding me again, are you?"

"Let me tell you, my temper is not as good as you think. I didn't bother with you before... because you brought me out of your retreat and gave me so many spells to learn! If... you play tricks on me again, I will really be rude to you and let you know how wrong it is to think that I am weak!"

Listening to Lin Wu's threatening words with gritted teeth, Mochuan remained calm and composed as usual, standing still like a mountain.

He said calmly, "Why would my master lie to you about this? If you want to go back to Zhangjia Village, it's easy. I can just cast a spell to open a space-time rift and go directly to Zhangjia Village."

Lin Wu frowned: "But you haven't been to Zhangjia Village before, so you can't travel there directly?"

Mo Chuan seemed surprised: "When did you say that you have never been to Zhangjia Village?"

Lin Wu: “Last night.”

Mo Chuan thought along the lines of what she said, but it only took him half a second to perfunctorily answer, "Didn't we talk about a river last night?"

"It's a river! But you said you had never been there..."

"It's true that I haven't been to the river you mentioned, but it's not like I haven't been to Zhangjiazhai either."

"It's not the same thing..."

Lin Wu reacted for a few seconds and then his voice suddenly disappeared.

"Mochuan!" She gritted her teeth, "So I could have returned to Zhangjia Village last night?"

"Calling the master by his first name is disrespectful."

Mo Chuan glanced at her lightly and said, "You didn't take my words to heart at all. Didn't I tell you last night that I couldn't use magic for the time being because of my injury?"

Lin Wu was stunned.

After all, it was she who disturbed Mochuan's retreat to recuperate, and Lin Wu was not confident about this.

She looked away and spoke in a much softer voice: "It's no use telling me now that you can let me go back to Zhangjia Village. Forget it, I can go to Gugui Village by myself. It's just a little more walking, no big deal. I won't say anymore, I have to go back to pack my things..."

"No need." Mo Chuan picked up the cup and drank a sip of water, then said calmly, "Master will be almost fully recovered tonight, and I will be able to send you back to Zhangjia Village by then."

Lin Wu looked at him hesitantly: "Really? Will this not affect your injury? I don't really need your help."

"No problem."

Mochuan said it so casually that people couldn't help but believe it.

Lin Wu stared at him for a moment, and after making sure that he was not pretending, he said, "Okay, I'll go back tonight."

After a pause, he said dissatisfiedly: "Next time, can't you finish your words at once?"

"Yes." Mo Chuan glanced at her and said, "It's just that teasing my apprentice is quite interesting."

“…………”

Lin Wu's expression suddenly became blank.

If one must interpret it, she really wanted to betray her teacher and ancestors at this moment.
