But just at that mont, a demi-human with three strange bird claws suddenly flew in from the space above. That demi-human was clad in a royal capital official robe, and his entire body was covered in golden feathers. Upon seeing the sedan chair, he stood steadily on the Tree Man and spoke,
"Welco Marquis Bai, Your Majesty requests your presence."
As that peculiar demi-human spoke, the restless Tree Man beneath him finally began to calm down little by little.
After that was the second inspection, requiring them to disembark from the sedan chair; everyone, including Marquis Bai, had to verify their identities. Fortunately, Marquis Bai had submitted a report to the Elf King the day before regarding the identities of the three Transferees.
From the illusory rift in space before them, two massive fox-headed demi-humans, each about three ters tall, gradually erged and said to Marquis Bai in the sedan chair,
"His Majesty is pleased and wishes to et these three Transferees imdiately. Marquis Bai, let’s delay the matter of seeing the doctor for now. His Majesty just t with Uncle Chun and is not in the best mood. Please wait in the palace. After His Majesty has t with the Transferees, the doctor will be summoned into the hall."
"Understood, Marquis Bai."
In front of these two enormous, elegant fox-headed demi-humans, the usually carefree Marquis Bai unexpectedly remained calm. She dutifully perford a salute and then looked behind her at Hooked kiss, signaling for him to stay with her.
Hooked kiss glanced at the blankness within the space, uncertain of what might happen upon entering. He then discreetly looked towards Fisher, who nodded after pondering for a mont, indicating for Hooked kiss to follow the two fox-headed beings.
"Please co this way."
The pair of fox-headed demi-humans nodded and turned, stepping into the nearly blank space. Unsurprisingly, once they entered the void of destiny, they vanished completely. Fisher was montarily stunned, looking back towards Marquis Bai’s direction, noticing Hooked kiss’s serious expression while Marquis Bai seed as if she had seen nothing.
It appeared that those within the Peach Public Barrier couldn’t feel this emptiness. In their eyes, the two fox-headed demi-humans were simply entering Jianmu Palace as usual.
Fisher paused for a mont at the entrance of the space rift, then slowly stepped into the void.
As he anticipated, there was no Jianmu Palace within the rift, only a vast emptiness.
He frowned, examining the silence surrounding him, vaguely sensing sothing amiss. However, just as the seed of inspiration sparked, Mikhail also entered the void in turn.
"There’s truly nothing here. Is this the concealed fate the elf spoke of?"
"I doubt it’s that simple... What did you see when I went in from outside?"
Mikhail turned around, unable to see Tangze Asuka, who hadn’t entered the rift, nor Marquis Bai or Hooked kiss. He then said,
"To us, it seed like you vanished suddenly. But Marquis Bai didn’t notice anything amiss, as if you rely followed those two fox-faced creatures in, urging us to catch up quickly."
"The Peach Public Barrier is a projection of fate, where shadows act according to their intrinsic logic, appearing particularly real. In essence, nothing actually happens here... So, if anyone within truly struck at us, we might remain unhard."
Mikhail offered,
"Better to be cautious."
"Indeed."
As Fisher turned his head to continue examining the void in search of clues, the space rift behind him trembled slightly, and suddenly Tangze Asuka ca rushing in with her eyes closed,
"Fisher, teacher!!!"
"...What’s the matter?"
Startled by her outburst, Fisher initially thought sothing occurred outside. However, upon seeing them both unhard, Tangze Asuka exhaled in relief and apologized,
"Sorry, I got scared when you suddenly disappeared and hesitated to enter... Then... then Marquis Bai just kicked in, saying the Envoy had waited for , but I neither saw nor heard anything..."
"...I see, but there’s nothing here. The thod Master Tao relied on for Transferees to see the concealed truths didn’t work."
Fisher gazed at the empty surroundings, feeling a bit puzzled.
Logically, although the Transferee with their chaotic aura might sowhat disrupt the observation of fate, could they truly pull off such an exaggerated feat?
This Jianmu Palace seed entirely blank, as if a whole slice of fate had been cut out, never existing in the first place.
Transferees should have been ordinary humans when they arrived. According to Master Tao’s introduction, that Transferee shouldn’t have been here long, just a few years at most, so how could they have developed to the level of the future Creation Society?
As Fisher pondered, sothing peculiar finally dawned on him amidst the emptiness.
But as he strained to navigate the intricacies, he remained unaware that as Tangze Asuka entered this void of fate, the sky faintly started shedding petals of peach blossoms. The mont these petals erged, a brilliant golden light suddenly burst from so distant direction.
The light was pure and instantly covered the peach-colored petals, layering the void with shimring illusions.
Within these layers of golden illusions, the emptiness beside them gradually faded, revealing a magnificent red structure.
"Fisher teacher, look quickly; it seems... it seems like the surroundings have changed."
Fisher opened his eyes to see the environnt transforming into the sa real appearance as outside, with even the entrance outside the space rift beginning to show color.
At this mont, the three of them stood beside a pavilion adjacent to the magnificent building, a considerable distance from the spaceti rift they entered, thus well hidden within lush greenery.
"What happened?"
Fisher questioned, probing towards the entrance of the space rift, only to see the tall fox-faced demi-humans who had previously led them in slowly entering; they appeared to be guiding soone,
"Marquis Bai, a reminder: His Majesty isn’t in a good mood. Please have the doctor you brought mind his words and actions, especially since he’s an outsider."
Fisher frowned as he saw Marquis Bai following the large fox-headed figures accompanied by Hooked kiss, carrying a dical kit with a resigned expression from the Whale-man Species.
"It’s Mr. Gou Wen."
Tangze Asuka whispered a reminder, yet Fisher raised his finger towards her, seemingly noticing sothing amiss.
Even Mikhail beside him sensed sothing, saying,
"That’s not Gou Wen... or at least not the one with us. That’s him from the past. Is this what happened when Gou Wen entered six months ago? But wasn’t this supposed to be hidden away? Why suddenly... Where is the real Gou Wen?"
Watching Hooked kiss gradually disappearing with Marquis Bai, Fisher’s heart stirred with an ominous conjecture,
"This seems to be the previously concealed Shadow of Fate regarding the Transferee. But since the Shadow of Fate outside was disrupted by our entry into the barrier, this previously hidden shadow wasn’t, thus creating a displacent. Hooked kiss is still outside in the original Shadow of Fate, the external part of the space rift; anwhile, we, within the space rift, have truly returned six months ago.
"Which ans, the three Transferees suddenly appeared within Jianmu Palace."
