After noticing that something was wrong, Wang Wei wanted to say something to her, but she suddenly asked, "Can I touch your face?"
Instinctively, he wanted to decline her, but changed his mind after looking deep in her eyes. So, she reached out her small and jade like hands to slowly caress his face.
Although she was looking straight at him, Wang Wei could tell that he was not the person she was seeing. In her eyes, he could see that his figure was replaced by someone else.
She caressed his face for a few seconds before muttering under her breath, "You should not go through all of this length." ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Wang Wei was both surprised and curious towards her, so he wanted to ask her about the person she seemed to be reminiscing about, however, she had suddenly disappeared in front of him.
He did not see how she did that, even his True Vision and Divine Sense did not notice anything. It was as if she was never here in the first place. Confused, Wang Wei suddenly yelled out loud, "Supreme Elder!"
"Yes, young master."
"Did you see the woman that was talking to me just now?"
"Yes I did."
"Do you know what she was? How did she disappear?"
"She seemed to be a Ghost Spirit!"
"Seemed?" asked Wang Wei not sure where the uncertainty came from.
"Well, usually Ghost Spirits are mortals or cultivators who died with grave grievances, which served as a tether to the living world. However, I did not feel any grievance from this person, so I’m not really sure."
Yan Chen paused for a few seconds, "As for how she disappeared, even I could not detect how she did it."
Wang Wei had a frown on his face as he began to ponder the whole situation. Then he found a few things weird after reviewing the entire encounter.
First thing, he did not notice how she approached him until she spoke to him. For someone with such a keen sense of his surroundings, this was odd.
Secondly, how did she manage to read his personality in such details after they had just met. Only a few people that are very close to him truly know what kind of person he was. To the outside world, he always portrayed a facade of strength, wisdom, and ruthlessness. A person who will do anything to achieve his goals, even if he needs to sacrifice the people close to him.
This was shown by the way he treated Han Li, a member of his own sect. However, that woman was able to see through him so easily.
As a matter of fact, this was not the most disconcerting thing that happened during their brief encounter. The thing that worried Wang Wei the most was the last act.
When she asked him to touch his face, given how cautious his nature was, he would never allow a person that he found strange and incomprehensible to easily approach him, let alone touch his face.
In that situation, he was very vulnerable. Yet, he still allowed it to happen. This can mean two things: one, her soul is so powerful that she can easily influence his mind without him even noticing, or she used a secret technique that can bypass his soul or mind defense.
No matter what the situation is, the result is still terrible news for Wang Wei. Although he believed that if that woman had any negative thoughts against him, his intuition would warn him, this did not change the fact that he was still spiritually influenced.
This event has proven to Wang Wei that his so-called high quality soul was not as perfect as he imagined. This world is vast and has a long history, who knows what kind of Heaven defying techniques or abilities that cultivators have developed over the years.
Wang Wei then took a deep breath to regain his bearing. This event has taught him an important lesson. Although his soul is special, without the knowledge on what makes it special and how to use this speciality, he should never blindly believe in its power. After thinking about this, he continued his travels toward the Emperor Enlightenment Academy.
