Chiang Xiao was constantly checking her watch.
Within ten minutes, indeed, nothing happened. So ng Xinian was right, the talisman diagram must be activated to take effect.
As soon as the ti was up, she imdiately opened the half of the talisman diagram in her hand.
Suddenly her vision blurred, then wind rushed past her ears, making her feel a bit weightless, unable to see clearly.
When she stabilized, she saw ng Xinian standing there, raising an eyebrow at her.
"Brother Xinian..."
Chiang Xiao let out a breath, feeling quite incredible.
She dazedly glanced around, recognizing that this was the second floor of Youqingwei Teahouse.
"Ended up at Youqingwei..."
This is too magical.
She felt it was hard to believe.
"Now it seems my hypothesis was correct." ng Xinian watched as the half of the talisman diagram in their hands turned to ash, floating away.
One talisman diagram can only be used once.
Moreover, no matter where they are, they can reach the destination.
He had just watched Chiang Xiao appear out of thin air right in front of him.
Neither the closed door nor the fact that this was the second floor prevented her from arriving.
"Why did I always end up beside you?" Chiang Xiao was a bit puzzled, but imdiately figured it out herself, "The circular pattern is the one that moves, and the half-moon pattern is the destination."
Earlier she had handed half of the half-moon pattern to ng Xinian again.
ng Xinian nodded, "Yes, that seems right."
"Should we try again?"
Chiang Xiao was excited.
With this Thousand Mile Talisman Diagram, she felt like she had gained a powerful tool!
She had to quickly finish testing it.
Otherwise, what if tomorrow the news suddenly cos that ng Xinian has to be dispatched to Country U?
"It’s already very late." ng Xinian pinched her cheek, "Don’t you want to rest early?"
"No, no, haven’t you run enough?" Chiang Xiao blinked and handed him a bottle of water, "Replenish your energy?"
ng Xinian was amused and exasperated.
He’s not too tired!
Running this distance is nothing to him.
But it really was late, and he thought she would want to sleep.
After all, drawing the talisman diagram is ti-consuming and, likely, exhausting too.
Chiang Xiao raised the other talisman diagram in her hand, "I still have one left."
ng Xinian took the water and drank, saying, "Alright, how do you want to test it now?"
"Now let’s extend the distance, cross the river?"
"Cross the river? How to cross?"
"Isn’t there a car? You drive it to the riverside, then swim across?" Chiang Xiao pointed to a small river, which takes about twenty minutes to drive from here.
ng Xinian said, "I have to swim to the other side of the river?"
"Can’t you? We have to test whether water, mountains, and such will block it."
ng Xinian couldn’t resist her and had to nod in agreent.
Who knows, he’s actually been waiting to hug her to sleep for a long ti.
But testing this thing is best done when the night is quiet; if they don’t do it now, they might have to wait until tomorrow, wasting another day.
So he took half of the talisman diagram, put it away, and together with her returned to the courtyard.
Once there, he shared a thought, "I think we should keep one half at ho, and return whenever it’s convenient."
Chiang Xiao felt it was very reasonable too.
