Chapter 141 Cultivation Dissipated?
"Alright, you can go back now."
Remember, if Chen Wan'er behaves in any unusual way, report to me immediately.
The man in black waved his hand, his tone leaving no room for argument.
Upon hearing this, Ma Qi quickly stood up, bowed respectfully, and replied:
"Don't worry, sir, I'll go back right away and keep a close eye on her."
After saying this, he backed out of the elegant room, and only after getting far away from the teahouse did he quicken his pace and head towards the Thousand Illusions Sect.
When Ma Qi returned to the room she shared with Chen Wan'er, she opened the door and was shocked to find the room empty.
The adults repeatedly told her to keep an eye on him, so where is he now?
Just as she was about to rush out in a panic to look for the person, she saw Chen Wan'er push the door open and enter.
"Wan'er, where did you go? Why didn't you tell me? I've been looking for you everywhere."
Ma Qi suppressed her inner turmoil and forced a smile, but her eyes were full of inquiry.
Chen Wan'er sneered inwardly. She wasn't anyone to her, so why should she have to report to her where she went?
However, he still feigned an apologetic expression and said softly:
"I'm so sorry, I went out for a walk to get some fresh air since you hadn't come back for a while."
Upon hearing this, Ma Qi immediately adopted a righteous and indignant demeanor and said:
"Wan'er, if you need to go out in the future, at least let me know so we can travel together and look after each other."
"Okay! It's settled then." Chen Wan'er feigned delight and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Before going to bed, Chen Wan'er quietly opened the system and found Ma Qi's name, then lay down peacefully.
In contrast, Ma Qi was filled with anxiety and tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.
He was just waiting to see how unlucky Chen Wan'er would be later, his eyes glancing at Chen Wan'er's bed from time to time.
Time ticked by, and she felt that if she kept waiting like this, it would be dawn soon.
Just when Maki thought the Black-Robed Lord wasn't planning to make a move tonight...
Suddenly, she realized with horror that her cultivation was slowly dissipating, bit by bit.
What's going on? Weren't we supposed to get revenge on Chen Wan'er?
Why is it that my cultivation is being damaged right now?
Could it be that Chen Wan'er is secretly plotting something and turning the tables on him?
Ma Qi sat up abruptly from the bed and rushed to Chen Wan'er's bedside in her slippers.
He yanked off her blanket, glared at her, and demanded:
"Chen Wan'er, I treated you as a friend with all my heart, what exactly did you do to me?"
Why is my cultivation level gradually dissipating?
Cultivation dissipated? Chen Wan'er's heart skipped a beat. What kind of strange method was this?
If I could master this technique and combine it with the power of the system, wouldn't I be even more powerful?
Thinking this, she became so excited that she forgot herself and didn't notice that Ma Qi was standing by the bed, furious.
Seeing her like this, Ma Qi became even more certain that Chen Wan'er was behind it all.
With a wave of his hand, he unleashed a sharp burst of spiritual energy, carrying with it a surge of rage, which swept towards Chen Wan'er.
Unexpectedly, Chen Wan'er remained completely still, as if nothing had happened.
On the contrary, she herself felt as if she had been hit hard, and uncontrollably took a few steps back, staggered, and almost fell to the ground.
what happened?
She clearly attacked Chen Wan'er, so why was she the one who got hurt?
Could it be that her current loss of cultivation is also because she inexplicably took the harm for Chen Wan'er?
Seeing that her cultivation level had begun to decline, Ma Qi completely panicked.
She had worked hard for many years to finally advance to the Golden Core stage, but she didn't want to be forced back to square one.
"Chen Wan'er, what exactly happened? Why are you completely unharmed?"
Ma Qi's voice trembled, her eyes filled with terror and despair.
Chen Wan'er then slowly stood up and looked down at Ma Qi.
He said coldly, "Want to know why you're in such a sorry state? Go ask the person behind you!"
"What exactly did you do to me? Why is it that when it was your cultivation that was dissipated, it was transferred to me?"
Ma Qi stared wide-eyed at Chen Wan'er and roared at the top of her lungs.
Chen Wan'er snorted coldly and did not answer.
Taking advantage of Ma Qi's panic, they quietly placed a puppet talisman on her body.
Ma Qi felt her whole body stiffen. Just as she was about to resist, she found that her body was no longer under her control.
Ma Qi's eyes were filled with terror as she stared intently at Chen Wan'er.
He was in a panic, completely unable to guess what tricks she would use next.
Seeing this, Chen Wan'er remained calm and spoke softly:
"Don't worry, I won't let you do anything dangerous."
If the person behind you invites you to meet, just go ahead and accept the invitation.
After saying that, she gently raised her hand and guided Maqi step by step back to her own bed.
Then he turned around and walked out of the house with a brisk pace.
Chen Wan'er went out and quickly put on an invisibility talisman.
With a flash, he moved like a ghost, quietly searching throughout the Thousand Illusions Sect.
She was agile and light-footed, leaving no sound in her wake.
However, after going around in circles, no substantial discoveries were made.
The only thing that caught my attention was that, apart from the Second Elder, the Sect Master and the other elders seemed to be absent from the sect.
She looked down at the system; recently, a bunch of unfamiliar names had appeared on it.
It was dazzling to look at, and she couldn't tell who these people were at all.
Chen Wan'er pondered to herself, it seems she will have to start with the Second Elder tomorrow.
Find an opportunity to ask a few elders and the sect leader for details; at least find out their names.
Based on the current situation, the Second Elder's suspicion can be temporarily ruled out.
After all, when we first met, he was so arrogant that he introduced himself before anyone even asked.
When Chen Wan'er returned to the house, it was already broad daylight.
She walked straight to Ma Qi's side and carefully examined Ma Qi's communication talisman. Sure enough, someone had asked to meet her.
Upon closer inspection of the agreed meeting place, the other party had cautiously chosen a secluded cliff outside the sect.
Chen Wan'er couldn't help but feel suspicious. Was this an attempt to silence her?
“Maqi, look at you, working yourself to the bone for others all day long.”
But they have no intention of letting you go.
I bet you've never been to that awful place before.
Now, things have gotten even worse; they actually want to get rid of you as soon as possible.
Chen Wan'er shook her head slightly, her tone tinged with sarcasm.
Ma Qi was tightly bound by the puppet talisman, unable to move her body, but that did not mean that her mind had stopped working.
Hearing Chen Wan'er's words, she was somewhat moved.
All these years I've served others so diligently, could it really be that I've just been used by others?
However, on the surface, she still pretended to be calm, not wanting Chen Wan'er to see the turmoil in her heart.
Soon, Chen Wan'er applied the invisibility talisman again and followed Ma Qi closely from a distance, heading quietly towards the agreed location.
Chen Wan'er saw a person dressed in black robes in the distance. Why do people who do bad things in this era always dress like this?
Or she could have her fourth senior brother make a batch of black robes and sell them all at once.
This might be a way to earn spirit stones.
The man in black robes spoke coldly, "How is she? How much cultivation does she have left?"
Upon hearing this, Ma Qi realized it was true; she had indeed taken all the blame for Chen Wan'er.
