39 Immortal Lotus - 5

While Liu Yang was taking in all the information from the Knowledge Crystal, Marcus went to find Xiao Mei. They are almost finished here, and now they need to make sure that everyone they saved will be safe after they leave.

And Marcus had a plan how to do it without wasting any time.

The solution is his stalker!

Standing at the edge of the bandit camp he looked towards a certain point in the distance.

"Come out! I know you are there!" Shouting as loud as humanly possible he pointed in the direction he was looking at.

"Are you sure there is someone there?"

"Yes, I'm sure." Thinking back to a few weeks ago he smiled. He discovered someone following him in the academy, his first thought was to confront the stalker, but her strength was that of a Body Reconstruction realm. So, for the time being, he would pretend not to notice. But after getting his new eyes, he was blessed to observe his stalker.

He found that she was regularly reporting to the principal and that his stalker was… teacher Lin! The very same person that showed him around the college.

Realizing who it is, Marcus made some assumption, and as days went by, he found that she had no evil intent and was only observing him, with occasional reports to the principal.

Why was she following him was not significant, and even if he wanted to find out what the reason he would need enough strength to confront her first. So Marcus decided to ignore her, and as long she left him to do as he wishes, he will continue to ignore her.

But now they need help, and she can give it to them.

Soon a figure emerged from the forest, her figure was enticing, but with her dead face, one look is enough to kill all wired ideas.

Being called out Lin Zhen felt depressed on her heart, she was an expert of the Body Reconstruction realm. She had many years of experience and fought many enemies. But a fifteen-year-old kid could find her as if it was nothing.

So what that he was probably the biggest genius that this world ever saw. It should be impossible to find her when she didn't want anyone to see her!

But this kid did it. She could understand finding the bandit camp, and that he was able to track the bandits moves at all times. In the end, they were weaker than him. But she was stronger than him many times over!

"How did you know? I was perfectly hidden, my energy output was almost non-existent, and with your current strength, it's impossible for you to perceive it. So tell me, how did you know?"

"I have my ways. But I didn't call you over to answer your questions."

"I know what you want, but I can't do it. I have orders from the principal."

"Orders from Father? What did he tell you to do?"

Father? No way… Xiao Mei is the principal's daughter? They do have the same surname, but Marcus thought that it was just a coincidence.

"I was tasked with protecting Marcus, from the day that he joined the Academy he was under my protection. It's just that there was never any need for me to act."

"And now that you two are together on a mission, I also have to protect you too, Xiao Mei."

"I will give you this if you agree."

Taking the Moon Rose out from his storage ring, he showed it to Teacher Lin, and her eyes immediately went wide.

Both Lin Zhen and Xiao Mei froze in shock. It was a Moon Rose! It was a very rare item that costs a fortune to buy!

Not only is it rare it is also sought after by all cultivators! With its help, they can make an easy breakthrough into the Body Reconstruction realm, and if used by a Body Reconstruction expert it will let them advance to the next stage with almost no difficulty!

And he wants to give it out just for escorting some people? He is crazy!

"Why so shocked? It's useless to me so if you agree to take these people I will give it to you."

Putting it back to the storage ring Marcus acted as if nothing had happened, and casually looked at the two women. But he was actually laughing in his head, realized how big of shock he gave the two. In reality, if he wants to, he can find more treasures like this with his eyes.

"So do we have a deal?"

"Deal! Take this; it's a talisman I made if you throw it will unleash an attack with a might of a stage seven Body Reconstruction expert. Also this, it will let me find you, keep this token on you, don't put it in s storage ring, I will find you in a few days,"

"Great, there is only one more thing, you will bring Liu Yang to the Hunters Guild and tell the Guild Leader to take care of her until I come back."

"Consider it done."

"Good, I will give you the Moon Rose when you get back. So you can start."

Seeing that there was someone new in the camp at first everyone was a bit panicked, but seeing Marcus and Xiao Mei beside her, they relaxed.

Teacher Lin quickly organized the people and gathered food and other things that bandits gathered over the time they worked, and the next morning they left towards, the Capital City.

Looking at the disappearing figure of teacher Lin holding Liu Yang hand. Marcus felt that he did good. WIth a smile on his face, he started walking with Xiao Mei.

Their destination, Gods Blood Lake.
