After being read by the mind, my apprentice wanted to rebel

Chapter 205 Buddha’s light shines everywhere

Since the spiritual land was quite far away, and Lin Xian'er and Xie Qijun did not want to delay their journey any longer, they rode their horses at full speed and galloped towards the spiritual land.

Finally, in Haicheng, near the entrance to the spiritual land, Lin Xian'er gazed at the huge city in front of her.

For some reason, when her eyes fell on the city, an indescribable strange feeling surged in her heart.

At this moment, the system's voice suddenly rang through my mind, "Host, on the way to the sacred land, you will pass through a place illuminated by the Buddha's light. You and Xie Qijun must stay close together. I will envelop you both and protect you."

Lin Xian'er raised her eyebrows slightly and thought to herself: It seems that there is something wrong with the place where the Buddha's light shines, but I don't know whether it was done intentionally by someone or it was a naturally formed phenomenon.

"Disciple, after we enter the city, you must follow closely beside me. After all, we are unfamiliar with this place, so we must be careful and cautious in everything we do," Lin Xian'er warned solemnly.

"Disciple understands, Master, don't worry." In fact, even if Lin Xian'er didn't say it, Xie Qijun had already had this plan.

Then, Lin Xian'er walked towards the gate of Haicheng.

She had originally planned to ask passersby in person about the entrance to the spiritual land, but surprisingly, as soon as she arrived at the city gate, she saw a butler in gorgeous clothes quickly coming towards her.

He bowed respectfully and said, "Fairy Lin, Friend Xie, I am the messenger sent by the Spiritual Land to greet you. Please follow me."

Hearing this, Lin Xian'er and Xie Qijun had no choice but to follow the housekeeper and walk towards Haicheng.

Along the way, they found that the people on both sides of the street seemed to be avoiding their gaze intentionally or unintentionally. This unusual atmosphere made the two of them feel a little confused.

Finally, they arrived at a seemingly ordinary courtyard.

The steward stopped, turned around, and said respectfully, "My two immortal friends, please rest here for one night. Tomorrow morning, I will lead you to the entrance of the spiritual land."

After saying this, he bowed slightly and slowly walked out of the yard.

Xie Qijun turned to look at Lin Xian'er and asked softly, "Master, should we take a break first?"

Lin Xian'er pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No rush, let's go out and take a look around to get to know the situation here first. After all, everyone in the world of immortal cultivation regards spiritual lands as sacred, but from what we see now, the reality may not be so."

So, the master and the disciple walked towards the courtyard gate. But as soon as they reached the door, they were stopped by two guards standing outside.

One of the guards asked in a stiff tone, "My two immortal friends, where are you going?"

Hearing this, Lin Xian'er felt a surge of inexplicable anger in her heart.

[Hey, is this a prisoner now? I'm not even allowed to leave this yard? What does that mean?]

[Host, please be patient, stay calm, come on, take a deep breath with me...]

"My master and I are new here, and out of curiosity, we'd like to explore the city. Is that possible?"

Lin Xian'er smiled, her beautiful eyes moving as she looked at the guards as gently as water.

Come on, if you have the guts, just say "no" to me and I'll smash your head with one slap.

At this time, the guard thought for a moment and continued coldly, "Please wait a moment."

Before he finished speaking, he rushed inside as fast as a gust of wind.

Seeing this, the other three guards quickly returned to their respective posts, straightened their bodies, and stood ready.

They watched Lin Xian'er and her disciple with vigilance, fearing that the two would suddenly rush out when they were not prepared.

Time passed minute by minute, and just as Lin Xian'er was waiting impatiently, the guard who had just left finally hurried over with the butler.

The steward approached and bowed deeply to Lin Xian'er and her disciple. Then, with a look of deep regret on his face, he said, "I'm truly sorry, my two immortal friends. Most of the people living in our Haicheng are ordinary people. In the past, some unpleasant incidents occurred here—some cultivators, relying on their superior cultivation, actually bullied the weak. Since then, our Haicheng Lord has ordered stricter control over cultivators coming and going. I hope you can understand."

Lin Xian'er frowned slightly and did not express any opinion on what was happening before her.

Although she still felt that this matter was very strange, she knew in her heart that it would be futile to continue wasting time here.

So, she asked softly, "Can we go out now?"

When the butler heard this, a smile immediately spread across his face, and he said respectfully, "Of course, I'm willing to accompany you two immortal friends for a stroll."

However, deep down, he was quite unhappy. He muttered to himself, "These two are really good at making trouble. It would have been much better if they had just entered the spiritual land honestly. Instead, they had to cause so much trouble. It really makes it difficult for an old man like me."

Seeing that the butler had made a gesture of invitation, Lin Xian'er understood that if she and Xie Qijun wanted to go out smoothly, they would probably have to take the butler with them.

Although she was reluctant, she did not dwell on it too much.

Just like that, the three of them walked out of the door together and onto the street.

The moment she stepped out of the door, Lin Xian'er suddenly had a strange feeling.

The disgusted looks from the people before seemed to disappear without a trace in an instant, replaced by a relaxed and joyful atmosphere.

At this moment, she was in a very good mood, like a naive newbie who had just left the sect and entered the world. She looked around the street happily, happily picking out all kinds of novel and interesting items.

"Tongzi, what's going on? Have you noticed anything unusual?" Lin Xian'er asked softly, her brows furrowed slightly.

"Host, the spiritual energy within this city has unexpectedly converged into one place, even the spiritual energy surrounding these people is the same," the system responded quickly.

Hearing this, Lin Xian'er's heart tightened, and she hurriedly used her internal energy to sense her own condition.

After a moment, she breathed a sigh of relief, a puzzled look on her face. "I don't feel any loss of my spiritual energy."

At the same time, Xie Qijun on the side heard everything Lin Xianer was thinking.

He quietly checked himself, and only after making sure he was fine did he feel relieved.

After all, he had just arrived and he didn't want to be fooled by others for no reason.

[Don't worry, host. You've only just arrived here and haven't experienced the so-called 'Buddha's Light' yet, so naturally, your spiritual energy won't be easily sucked away.]

[Huh? Buddha's light shines everywhere? This is clearly the light of evil shining everywhere.] Lin Xian'er couldn't help but curse inwardly.
