"Um, okay!" Sun Xiaoxiao stammered, quietly raising her head to look at Ling Mo Xie, a blush creeping onto her cheeks. Ling Mo Xie smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Let's go inside! Everyone must be hungry, right?" With that, he took the lead and walked into the Restaurant.
On the second floor of Tianxiang Restaurant, at a window-side table, an old man and a young boy dressed in blue robes were sitting across from each other, watching the commotion below in the Restaurant.
"Fei Er, have you thought about what to steal? I see that the City Lord's Qing Shuang Sword is well-guarded; it would be a good test," said the old man, who was short and frail. His face was lined with wrinkles like any ordinary elderly person, but his hands were as smooth and delicate as those of a young woman.
"I've decided! It's her!" The old man’s companion placed his cup on the table with a flourish, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
The boy was not very tall either, but he had a handsome face and looked quite spirited in his blue robe.
"Oh? You've made up your mind? Then let's go to the City Lord's mansion tonight!" The old man nodded, thinking that the boy was referring to the Qing Shuang Sword.
"Master, I'm not talking about the Qing Shuang Sword!" The boy turned his head, placing his cup on the table again and smirking. "You all have such low aspirations; it's no wonder my Illusionary Void Sect has fallen so far. I'm talking about her!" He pointed out the window at Sun Xiaoxiao, who was entering Tianxiang Restaurant with Yuyao.
The old man paused for a moment, looking at Ling Siwen, Long Lao, and Gao Lao beside Yuyao with a frown. "Fei Er! I advise you to change your target! Those people are not simple!"
"Tch!" The boy scoffed. "I'm going to steal her! Besides, Old Man, when have you ever caught up with me? Those people are even less likely to catch me!" The boy's expression was filled with pride.
It was no wonder; the Illusionary Void Sect was famous for stealing and also for its speed. It was said that the founder of this sect had once stolen something from an immortal, though it had since declined. Even so, with the Old Man's hundreds of years of research into Illusionary Void Sect techniques, his speed was certainly remarkable. For the boy to escape from the old man's pursuit was enough reason for him to feel proud!
"Old Man, just watch how I steal that girl!" The boy confidently said as he squinted at Ling Mo Xie and his group coming up from downstairs.
The old man smiled as he stroked his beard; his disciple had truly surpassed him! Although he still lacked in cultivation compared to himself and fell short in many areas, in terms of many technical skills, he was already on par with him.
Upon reaching the second floor, Ling Mo Xie casually found a table, and the group sat down in a lively manner. The waiter, quick to notice the elegantly dressed patrons, hurried over to respectfully take their orders.
Tianxiang Tower lived up to its reputation as a grand restaurant, with a variety of dishes being served shortly after. Everyone was discussing the match between Ling Mo Xie and Yu Wen Qing Yu that day, all expressing their astonishment and continuing to talk animatedly.
Ling Mo Xie pouted in disbelief as he picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks, intending to pass it to Sun Xiao Xiao. However, he was stunned to find that Sun Xiao Xiao, who had just been sitting beside him, had vanished! All that remained was a clean bowl in front of him, and it seemed the chopsticks had been brought by the waiter.
The others were still engaged in their lively discussions and had not even noticed that one person was missing from the table!
Just as Ling Mo Xie was in shock, two system notifications echoed in his mind: "Ding! Sudden mission released! Sudden mission: Rescue Sun Xiao Xiao!
Mission details: Sun Xiao Xiao is being taken away at an alarming speed. Please catch up with her and rescue her!
Mission reward: One Celestial Servant and one Intermediate Experience Pill.
Failure penalty: Loss of Sun Xiao Xiao."
"Ding! Map system activated!"
"Stop eating! Sun Xiao Xiao is missing!" Ling Mo Xie said with a wry smile to the group. The people who had been engrossed in conversation immediately halted: "What do you mean missing? Isn't she right here?" they said, pointing to where Sun Xiao Xiao had been sitting.
"Huh? Wasn't she just here? How could she disappear?" Ling Si Wen exclaimed in surprise, feeling even more astonished; with his cultivation level, he should have sensed if she had left on her own.
"Don't look anymore! If I'm not mistaken, she must have been taken!" Ling Mo Xie said with a pout as he looked at the map displayed by the system. A red dot was moving rapidly away from Tianfeng City towards a nearby mountain range—the Wind Howl Mountain Range—at a speed faster than that of a Nascent Soul stage expert flying at full speed!
Several old men looked at each other. In Skywind City, there was no one who could make a living person disappear right under their noses!
Finally, it was Gao Lao who spoke: "Recently, I visited the Lord's Mansion and found that the entire estate was under lockdown. I heard that the legendary Illusionary Void Sect has appeared in Skywind City. Could it be that they are not stealing objects, but people? If it is them, it wouldn't be surprising that they can make someone disappear right before our eyes!"
"According to the Classics preserved in the royal family, both the seventh and twenty-first generation leaders of the Illusionary Void Sect have records of abducting people. They certainly have this suspicion!" Dongfang Siyu also stood up and said, then sighed, "Poor Miss Sun really has had a lot of misfortunes!"
"I say, can you stop discussing this? The most important thing now is to rescue Sun Xiaoxiao, right?" Ling Mo Xie felt compelled to remind them as they began to debate.
That little red dot was moving really fast! It seemed like it was about to cross the mountain range! One must know that while the Feng Hou Mountain Range is near Skywind City, it is still quite far away, at least tens of thousands of miles! It was only because there was only one city near the mountain range that it was referred to as the mountains near Skywind City.
"If it is indeed the Illusionary Void Sect, we probably won't be able to catch up. Their ancestor could steal treasures from immortals! What are immortals? They are figures that exist only in legends! In today's world, no one has been able to ascend to become an immortal for thousands of years!" Dongfang Siyu said helplessly to Ling Mo Xie.
"You all!" Ling Mo Xie looked at them with some frustration. Just because they couldn't catch up, were they going to give up?
"If you won't go, I'll go myself!" Ling Mo Xie immediately ran out of the Restaurant, chasing after that red dot. The mission Reward wasn't much, so it shouldn't be too difficult; perhaps it was just a test of speed.
Ling Mo Xie speculated as he rummaged through his backpack, hoping to find something useful.
