"Yang Wei, are you still with me?" Instructor Su asked when she noticed Yang Wei seemed to be downcast.
Yang Wei nodded his head in reply. He was simply a bit speechless by Instructor Su saying that he has no friends in the sect.
Although it's the truth, it still hurt a bit when he was called out directly.
"A-Anyway, when are we going to this so-called cave and how long would it take?" Yang Wei decided to ignore her remark and asked for the crucial details.
"The cave is located near Ling City and it should take us no more than a week to complete." Instructor Su said with a smile.
"T-That long?" Yang Wei said as he wondered if it would hinder his training.
"How is that long?" Instructor Su said in a bit of anger. In her mind, a week-long journey was nothing as she would usually need to spend a month or above to complete a mission.
However, she was a bit disappointed and angry to see how unwilling Yang Wei is despite her being his instructor and taught him some basics.
"Are you that unwilling to help a beauty out especially one that is your instructor," Instructor Su asked in a bit of a pouting tone.
Yang Wei was rendered speechless as he couldn't imagine the current Instructor Su to be the same one he first met.
Her personality and demeanor were vastly different that Yang Wei thought the person in front of him was a fake.
"I-I didn't mean that, Instructor Su," Yang Wei gave in as he shook his head.
"Su Mingxia." Instructor Su corrected him.
Yang Wei gave a dazed look at Instructor Su on why she suddenly gave him her name.
"We are going to go out secretly so if you keep calling me Instructor Su then people are going to notice me." Su Mingxia said as she quickly sent Yang Wei away and told him to meet her in the courtyard in the morning.
Once Yang Wei got kicked out suddenly, he scratched his head in confusion as he headed back to his own courtyard.
Meanwhile, inside Su Mingxia's courtyard, she suddenly took out her communication device as it connected with a person.
"Elder Jing, are you sure Yang Wei is reliable?" Su Mingxia asked.
"Mhmm, you can rest assured that he would be a great help for you." Through the communication device, Elder Jing's voice resounded.
Su Mingxia gave a nod despite not being able to see Elder Jing as she said, "I'm only asking for Yang Wei because of you so I hope that he is as reliable as you said."
Afterward, she closed the communication device as she stared at the ceiling and wondered if she should have asked Elder Jing for help.
"Sigh, whatever, let's just cultivate for a bit and wait. Hopefully, Yang Wei doesn't have any nefarious intentions." Su Mingxia mumbled softly as she walked toward the bed and sat in a lotus position.
She spent the entire night cultivating while making sure her schedule is clear with the help of Elder Jing.
With Elder Jing's influence, she was able to be free from any duty to focus on her own task.
Morning soon came by as Su Mingxia opened her eyes and stopped her cultivation.
Her aura was emitting a Nascent Soul realm cultivator but she decided to consume a pill to disguise her cultivation to Core Formation to avoid giving out any hint.
Sometime later, Su Mingxia tidied her clothes and walked out the door, only to see Yang Wei was already standing by.
"Did you not sleep at all?" Su Mingxia said as she walked toward him.
"I did for a bit- I have to do my daily training and can't slack off," Yang Wei replied swiftly.
Meanwhile, Su Mingxia glanced at the clothes that Yang Wei was wearing before giving her approval.
"I'm glad that you aren't dumb enough to wear any clothes that are related to the sect otherwise, you would have wasted more time." Su Mingxia said as she gave a thumbs up.
"You have said that we are going in disguise so of course, I will wear some common clothes." Yang Wei said as he followed Su Mingxia.
Usually, to leave the sect, they will leave through the front entrance of the sect but since Su Mingxia didn't want anyone to notice, she brought Yang Wei through a backdoor entrance.
"The backdoor entrance is pretty hidden and only a few know about it." Su Mingxia explained as she retrieved a key out to unlock it.
"Wait a minute," Yang Wei suddenly stopped Su Mingxia right when she was about to step outside.
Su Mingxia turned around and looked at Yang Wei in confusion, "Don't tell me you're backing out at this moment?"
She would be enraged if Yang Wei became a coward at the last minute.
Luckily for Yang Wei, he shook his head as he retrieved two masks out.
Yang Wei wore the mask and handed the other one to Su Mingxia, "Since you wanted to be discreet then it's better to cover your face. After all, your beauty is easily recognized by anyone and it would also save us some trouble."
Su Mingxia nodded her head as she wore her mask and turned around to leave.
Sometime later, Yang Wei and Su Mingxia were walking in the streets in a calm manner as they headed toward Ling City.
"How far is Ling City at?" Yang Wei asked as they continued to stroll through the streets.
"About 2-3 days in normal walking and 1-2 days if we speed up," Su Mingxia replied.
Yang Wei nodded his head.
When they reached outside and close to the forest, Su Mingxia retrieved a flying treasure.
Afterward, she hopped into it and waved her hand for Yang Wei.
The flying treasure was similar to a boat but a tiny one as it could only fit two people and Yang Wei could feel Su Mingxia's warmth when he hopped into the flying treasure.
