Reincarnated As a Fox With System novel Chapter 390

Chapter 390: Ulterior Motive!

"We must get back to Imperial Palace now! There is something bad happening there!" Elder Yang replied to the two Nascent Soul Stage elders, but he did not bother to explain it very clearly because they already ran out of time.

Elder Yang rode his flying sword toward the direction of Tang Li Xue's perfect copy while the two Nascent Soul Stage elders followed him closely from behind.

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy was currently still riding on the top of Elder Yang's previous flying sword and hid under Elder Yang's instruction.

She had actually watched the battle between Elder Yang and her real self really clearly from afar.

Then why did she not do anything to help the real Tang Li Xue?

The answer to this question would be revealed sooner or later…

"Are you all right? Those people did not injure you, right?" Elder Yang asked Tang Li Xue's perfect copy in a worried tone when he approached her.

Tang Li Xue shook her head and softly said while weakly smiled in regret: "I am okay... But I am really sorry for becoming a burden to you and your people. I even held as hostage twice tonight."

Her fragile weak smile combined with her peerless beauty looked so beautiful as the blooming white lotus under the moonlight.

No one would probably have the heart to blame her after seeing this fragile yet stunning smile of hers.

Just like what Tang Li Xue's perfect copy had predicted, Elder Yang immediately replied with a comforting tone: "That is all right. You do not need to apologize because all of those are not your fault. Even if those people did not take you as their hostage, they could take any random people as their hostage, so you do not need to feel guilty about it."

"There is something bad happening in Imperial Palace right now, so we must return there as soon as possible. How about you? I know you must have been quite frightened already, but I still suggest for you to stick with us at least until everything is over. It would be really bad if those black-clothed people caught you again without our knowledge and locked you up at somewhere we do not know, then use you as a hostage to threaten us." Elder Yang explained to Tang Li Xue's perfect copy to persuade her to always stick with them until all of these were completely over.

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy nodded back at Elder Yang with a solemn expression and said: "I understand. I will follow you until everything is over. Let's not waste any more time here and go back to Imperial Palace now before it is too late."

Elder Yang smiled at Tang Li Xue's perfect copy and nodded at her. He felt really glad for Tang Li Xue's concern.

Elder Yang did not want Tang Li Xue to feel uncomfortable, so he decided to take out a luxurious-looking carriage from his spatial ring.

Elder Yang only rode this luxurious-looking carriage if he traveled to a faraway place and need several days to reach there, but he decided to make an exception right now and let Tang Li Xue rode it with him to head toward the Imperial Palace.

The two Nascent Soul Stage Elders did not say anything. They rode on the top of their flying sword and only silently escorting behind the luxurious carriage.

"This carriage is so comfortable." Tang Li Xue's perfect copy exclaimed in amazement while her eyes darted around to carefully inspect the luxurious carriage interior.

Elder Yang chuckled when he saw the excited Tang Li Xue's perfect copy since she looked so innocent and childish at the same time.

"I can give it to you if you really like it." Elder Yang said as he sat on the opposite seat from Tang Li Xue.

"Eh? Is that really okay? This carriage looks very luxurious, so it must be really expensive, right?"? Tang Li Xue's perfect copy asked.

"Yes, it is really expensive, but I will still give it to you if you really like it." Elder Yang replied nonchalantly.

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy stared suspiciously at Elder Yang and asked again: "Really? You will not use it to blackmail me again later, aren't you? I remember you gave me your jade insignia last time, and I used it to enter Lin Family's residence, but you used it to blackmail me last time."

Elder Yang laughed out loud when he heard the words from Tang Li Xue's perfect copy.

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy puffed her cheek and pouted cutely while said: "Humph, I would never dare to receive any more things from you again because of it. So what if this carriage looks luxurious and comfortable, I bet it will be destroyed in an instant if someone attacked from outside. Besides that, can this carriage even prevent anyone outside from sensing or hearing us?"

Elder Yang muffled his laughter and started to explain patiently: "Do not look down on this carriage. It has very strong defensive arrays carved on it. Even Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator would need to attack more than ten times to break through its defensive arrays. Those defensive arrays also prevent any outsider from sensing or hearing us."

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy widened her eyes in disbelief and exclaimed again in surprise: "Is this carriage really that powerful?! Then how can you want to give it to me just like that? Elder Yang, you are becoming more and more suspicious. I am getting more afraid of receiving it from you now. You definitely have an ulterior motive to me, aren't you?"

Elder Yang laughed again and said: "This carriage given by Immortal Sword Sect's Patriarch to me. I can just give this carriage to you and said to Patriarch that it got destroyed in battle, then he will definitely give me a new one later."
