Chapter 311: Hot Spring? This is clearly Heaven!
Yue Jianli frowned, her eyes full of inquiry.
"Just now, Junior sister Li"s smile seemed to be similar to that bad person, giving me a very familiar feeling."
"But Tiezhu is clearly a girl…"
She hesitantly said, "You, you can"t be Li Ran, right?"
Li Ran"s heart skipped a beat.
He had played too much just now, exposing many small habits.
Two of them were very close and knew each other very well. These details would inevitably arouse suspicion.
"It"s fine. As long as I don"t admit it, she can"t do anything to me." Li Ran cleared his throat and pretended to be confused. "What is Chief Yue talking about? Why don"t I understand?"
"Don"t understand?" Yue Jianli pinched her chin and carefully sized him up.
Li Ran was a little nervous.
He did not want to hide it from Yue Jianli but feared their relationship would be discovered.
Moreover, letting this girl know she was disguised as a woman would be too embarra.s.sing.
Fortunately, Yue Jianli shook her head and muttered to herself, "It shouldn"t be possible. If he was pretending, how could Master not see it?"
Regardless of whether it was illusions or disguises, it was impossible to hide from an Emperor"s level higher-being.
But she never would have thought that this "Li Tiezhu" was the work of her master…
Li Ran heaved a sigh of relief.
Yue Jianli apologetically said, "I"m sorry, but you look like a friend of mine. For a moment, I was a little distracted."
He wiped his cold sweat and said, "Is that so? That is truly a coincidence…"
At this moment, a few female disciples pa.s.sed by and greeted each other when they saw them.
"Chief Yue."
"Greetings, Chief Yue." One of the female disciples said, "Chief Yue, the Jade pool is open. Would you like to go and relax?"
Yue Jianli shook her head, "No need, you guys go."
"Alright." The female disciples nodded and left.
Li Ran asked curiously, "What is the Jade pool?"
Yue Jianli explained, "It"s the natural hot spring located at the back of the mountain. Under the influence of spirit stones, it has a constant temperature all year round. Because there"s a fountain below, the water can always be kept clear."
Li Ran immediately understood.
She should be talking about fresh water well.
This phenomenon was very common in the sea. A fountain under the ground continuously spewed out fresh water, forming an area of fresh water on the sea surface.
With the nourishment of spirit stones, it became a natural hot spring.
He thought of something and asked, "Is the Jade pool a mix of men and women?"
Yue Jianli snorted, "What nonsense are you spouting? There"s a formation outside the Jade soup pool. Only inner disciples can enter."
Li Ran patted his chest, "So that"s the case. It scared me."
Yue Jianli rolled his eyes at her and laughed, "Junior sister Li"s thoughts are quite unique."
As she spoke, she hesitated, "Do you want to take a dip?"
"Ah?" Li Ran was taken aback. "This shouldn"t be appropriate."
"You are a personal disciple of the Sect Master. What"s wrong with that?" Yue Jianli muttered to himself, "Ever since I entered the sect, I"ve never entered it before. I don"t know what it looks like… Why don"t we go in and take a look!"
Li Ran swallowed his saliva and shook his head. "I"m not going…"
Yue Jianli took the initiative to pull him up and said, "It"s fine. You are already a disciple of Myriad Sword Pavilion, so you can naturally enjoy all the benefits of the sect. Don"t worry. No one will gossip about you."
"No, I…"
Before Li Ran could finish speaking, she pulled him into the air.
Two quickly landed in front of a cave entrance.
This place was completely enveloped by the array. There seemed to be a layer of translucent film in the air, flickering with a faint blue light.
Yue Jianli said, "Behind this is the Jade pool. Let"s go in and take a look."
"You go. I won’t go." Li Ran shook his head and refused.
After all, he was a man, but the illusion had changed his appearance and aura. What if the formation saw through him?
Yue Jianli pretended to be angry. "This is my first time here too. Could it be that junior sister Li wants to leave me alone? Or do you dislike me?"
She had a natural closeness to junior sister Li, and her words couldn"t help but carry a hint of innocence.
"That"s not true…"
He was in a dilemma.
If he wanted to refuse, he couldn"t find a reason. Moreover, he would even arouse the suspicion of the other party.
But he was afraid of being seen through by the array.
"Then let"s go!"
Yue Jianli dragged him in.
Two of them walked into the cave as if they had pa.s.sed through a water curtain without causing any noise.
A large stone fell from Li Ran"s heart.
"Good f*ck, Chu Lingchuan"s illusion is quite strong. I can"t even be recognized by the formation?"
As they pa.s.sed through the narrow cave, their vision suddenly became clear.
At the back of the cave was a large square with many horizontal chairs. Many female disciples were resting on it.
Most of them were only wrapped in bath robes and were chasing each other around. Air was filled with a faint fragrance.
This was clearly a resting area.
At the end of the square, there was a door with a sword ring. On it was written the words "Jade pool". The real hot spring should be behind the door.
Sheng Zi Li"s blood pressure soared as he looked at the young girls in front of him.
He forcefully resisted the thought of using the Disillusioned Eye.
Perhaps this was Heaven?
Who would have thought that there would be this kind of welfare in women"s clothes? What Chief Chu thought was too thoughtful.
Yue Jianli was nervous.
Unexpectedly, there were so many people.
Even if there were girls in front of her, she was still not used to this kind of situation.
Other than Li Ran, she was very resistant to contact with others. This was also the reason why she had never been to the Jade pool before.
Her heart beat like a drum as she quietly said, "Junior sister Li, why don"t we come another day? There really are too many people today."
"Sigh, it"s crowded."
Li Ran smiled and said, "Since we"ve come, then we have to go. How can you give up halfway?"
"But…"
Before Yue Jianli could finish his sentence, he held her hand and strode forward.
Two of them pa.s.sed through the square and headed straight for the Jade pool.
"Chief Yue?"
"Am I seeing things? Chief Yue actually came?"
"This is the first time I"ve seen Chief Yue here."
"Me too."
……..
Surrounding female disciples were a little surprised and could not help but whisper amongst themselves.
Li Ran charged all the way to the entrance.
Air was filled with water vapor, and the temperature was slightly higher. Sound of water and laughter could be faintly heard behind the door.
Sheng Zi Li looked solemn. "Jade pool, I"m here!"
He stepped into the door, but in the next second, he disappeared.
Yue Jianli blankly stood in place; half a day did not come back to her senses.
"Huh? Where"s junior sister Li?"
