Chapter 90: Qian Yun’s Secret
"How do I fit in the equation? I didn’t do anything," Zhanxian said, still confused.
Han Xuhan scratched his head with a struggling expression. He wasn’t so sure how to explain Zhanxian’s teleportation either.
"I’m guessing that the circle of laws treated you and I as one being, since you live in my foundation tower as a part of it. This also means that if we were punished instead, I could have used you as a stand-in for me...wait, forget I said that."
Zhanxian fixed an eyeless stare on him for so long that Han Xuhan began to regret explaining it down to such controversial details.
"So, we’re already disciples of this Holy Land of Laws, whether we like it or not. Which orb should we target next, now that the poison in the fog doesn’t bother us anymore? Or..."
Qian Yun broke the quiet and posed a good question. But his sudden drift into silence made Han Xuhan consider the implications.
"Theoretically speaking, whoever we meet from this point forth, is a disciple of the Holy Land. No one could have gotten past the stadium without learning the language of laws. And learning it means to end up with that insidious imprint on your spiritual world, turning you into a disciple whether you want to or not."
Although Qian Yun was talking about something both of them had suffered from just now, his tone was laced with a strange hint of glee, as if he were a child who had discovered a new game.
Han Xuhan caught onto what he was talking about and lurched to a stop too.
