Chapter 214 - Deceiving
They had arrived, but not at the Glazed Lake. They were at the end of the road, where there were some disciples waiting for Jiang Yi.
There were three women wearing blue robes waiting for her right there. They seemed to be relatively young, but from a generation higher than Seth and Rina at least.
Suddenly one of them started to say some words.
"You must be Jiang Yi's servant, right?"
"Yes, I am." Butler Zhao answered.
"You can drop her here and return. She will be in our care from now on."
"But I need to guarantee her safety..."
"Sorry, but these are Sect rules. We could let you go a bit further if you were a woman though."
Butler Zhao stood up from his driver seat, going towards the carriage door to open it. But at the last moment, he remembered about the situation inside.
Seth suddenly had a plan after hearing their words.
"Mother-in-law, can you please go outside and assume the driver's seat?"
"You want me to drive the carriage?"
Seth nodded and said: "If they ask who you really are, you can say you are that girl's aunt or something like that."
Jiang Yi asked: "What are you trying to do? If they discover about that, you will be fucked."
Seth smiled as if everything was okay.
Meihui found this situation a bit amusing, together with the fact that she was bored for having to travel inside a carriage for so long and only reservedly talk with Seth and Rina, she decided to cooperate.
When butler Zhao was about to give up and open the carriage door, Chun Meihui suddenly opened it before he could and left. She quickly assumed the driver's seat, while the people from the Glazed Lake and butler Zhao looked at her a bit confused.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Jiang Yi's aunt. I hope you don't bother if I accompany her a bit more." She replied normally. She heard Jiang Yi's name from the few interactions she had with Seth.
"There is no problem."
One of those three women silently activated her Qi, using it to send some weak pulses to scan the energy signals of who was inside the carriage. After Chun Meihui left the carriage, it had alerted them to the possibility of other people staying inside there.
Her Qi received only one signal of a Profound Qi initial-stage Realm practitioner, Jiang Yi. She retracted her aura, entering a carriage they used to arrive where the currently were. One of them assumed the driver's seat, preparing everything for the departure.
Seth had shielded Chun Meiyi with his Mana, while Rina naturally passed undetected, since she was a Mana user as well. That disciple's Qi was not strong enough to identify them.
"Please follow us."
The journey continued normally. Butler Zhao had to go back by feet while endless troubled by what was going to happen with Jiang Yi, or how he would tell that to her father.
The two carriages took many different side roads, going towards a certain place. A relatively calm place that few people visited, but far from being inaccessible.
That place was located ten to twenty kilometers away from the Blue Breeze Capital City entrance.
There was a huge crystalline blue lake, surrounded by a beautiful vegetation there. The carriages stopped some meters away from that lake and everyone knew there was no way they could keep hidden anymore.
The place they were, was not where Jiang Yi was taken to do her exam, but somewhere else.
The women from the Glazed Lake left their carriage and waited for Jiang Yi's appearance. However, even after two minutes had passed, she didn't leave.
They turned their heads to look at Chun Meihui, that turned her head away, refusing to say anything.
Suddenly, the door opened, and Jiang Yi stepped outside. Right after her, Rina left and some seconds later, Seth descended while carrying Meiyi.
When those women saw Seth, they were unable to fully understand what was happening.
"What is the meaning of this?" One of them looked at Jiang Yi, requesting for a suitable answer.
But the one who answered that, was Seth.
"Hello ladies. I would like to pay a visit to your Eleventh Palace Master, lady Yushui. Is she home?"
"..."
"..."
"Hm? Guess she isn't?" Seth asked.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
"A man is not supposed to be here."
"Leave."
"Oh... Come on ladies, I came from afar just to visit your sect. Could you at least call the Eleventh Palace Master for me?" Seth's phrase was ignored. The ladies started to move differently, doing some movements only people ready to attack would do.
Seth frowned, but he didn't do anything.
Suddenly, one of them released her cultivation, at the Qi Transformation middle-stage Realm, charging towards Seth, ignoring the fact he was carrying an unconscious person.
But before he could even act, Rina stepped forward. The grass blades on the floor started to grow at an inconceivable speed, coiling around that woman and trapping her.
"Ah!" She was easily controlled by Rina's Evergreen ability.
Everyone else besides Seth, watched that with shock. They had never seen someone able to grow plants so quickly before and use them to fight like that.
The other two women decided to act together, one aiming at Rina and the other one, trying to free her friend from that strange trap.
However, Rina's Mana easily created many more blades of grass that made it impossible for them to advance after reaching a certain point.
They tried to cut those long blades of grass while using their weapons. Both girls started to create a layer of water that covered the blade of their swords, enhancing their attacks with water element. But after slashing multiple times and not being able to cut their enemy's skill apart, they realized that mysterious person was way stronger than them.
However, it was already too late. Rina's blades of grass enveloped their bodies, creating a cocoon around them and jailing them inside.. She effortlessly took out those disciples from the Glazed Lake Sect.
