Hearing the earth-shattering roar, the chicken on Su Luo's chopsticks fell to the table with a plop.
"This crazy old man is so fast, can't he even let me have a full meal?" Su Luo was so depressed that she almost scratched the wall. She hadn't had a full meal all the way here, okay?
Nangong Liuyun's eyes narrowed slightly. The old madman's speed was undeniable, but how could he have caught up so quickly? Was there some trick to this?
"Let's leave first." Nangong Liuyun pulled Su Luo, dropped his chopsticks, turned around and flew away.
"Hey, sir, you haven't paid yet!" The shopkeeper saw that these two people who looked like gods were eating and dashing, so he ran out immediately.
However, before he could get close, a silver ingot hit his arms and knocked the shopkeeper to the ground.
"Ouch." The shopkeeper felt great pain from being hit on the chest. He wanted to complain, but when he saw the big silver ingot shining white in his arms, he immediately smiled.
How could Su Luo and the other two have time to care about him? The two of them soared in speed, leaving a series of quickly flashing afterimages on the roof.
Because the speed soared to the extreme, it swept past like a gust of wind, so it did not attract the attention of passers-by.
Ahead, the imperial city is already in sight.
It was broad daylight at the time, and the four gates of the imperial city were guarded by royal guards, so tightly that not even a fly could get in.
However, these imperial guards were just ordinary people, at most at the fourth or fifth level, and Su Luo and Nangong Liuyun's realm was much higher than theirs, so even if the two of them quickly slipped into the palace, no one noticed.
However, the Imperial Palace was the seat of imperial power after all, so it was impossible for it to be without experts. So Nangong Liuyun took Su Luo straight to a secluded place.
The two were strong and had sharp perceptions, and they often hid before the guards arrived, so they had a smooth journey and no one in the palace discovered them.
"You seem to be quite familiar with this palace?" Su Luo saw that Nangong Liuyun didn't look at the map, but was staggering around without looking lost at all.
"There is a building map. It's in the Eastern Jin Dynasty's library." Nangong Liuyun smiled at Su Luo. His smile was like the red spider lilies blooming all over the ground, evil and enchanting, tempting people to commit crimes.
Su Luo nodded in understanding. Being well-read and knowledgeable would always come in handy when it came to decisiveness.
"Come, let's go to the Qingling Pond first."
"Qingling Pool?" Su Luo tilted her head back and looked at Nangong Liuyun, who was half a head taller than her, in confusion.
"The Qingling Pool in the Beimo Palace can wash away any aura that doesn't belong to you." Nangong Liuyun half-closed his eyes, looking cautious and serious.
"Do you suspect that the reason why that old madman was able to keep chasing me was because I was tainted with his aura?" Su Luo exclaimed.
"To be more precise, it was the two of us." A hint of helplessness flashed across Nangong Liuyun's face. "I fought him that day, and I guess I was also contaminated by his aura. I didn't expect that even without the hint of the teleportation fluctuation, the old madman could still catch up with his aura. It turns out that Saint-level powerhouses should not be underestimated."
"Nangong Liuyun, I've noticed you're quite treacherous." Su Luo pinched his shoulder. "From the moment you said you were going to hide in the Beimo Palace, you've already had your eye on this Qingling Pool, right?"
No wonder he didn't go anywhere else but had to bring her here. She asked why they came all the way to the palace.
Nangong Liuyun's intelligence was truly admirable. The plot was laid out long beforehand, and the answer wasn't revealed until the very last moment.
