Chapter 348: The All-Knowing Sovereign Tapir Tertius
"Of course I know!" Xu Ke's voice held a note of pride. "I told you, Senior Brother Lu Ya is a good person. When he brought me to the Beast Taming Sect, he knew I was mischievous and liked to run about. The place is huge, so to make it easier to find me, he gave me this jade token. It allows him to sense my location at all times. And the function works both ways, so I’ll always know where he is too."
He chuckled. "Actually, I know the real reason Senior Brother Lu Ya left this token with me. He was worried I'd get bullied, being a new disciple and all."
As he responded, Xu Ke showed Li Fan the jade token hanging on his chest. The token's design somewhat resembled that exotic beast with a human face and tiger body that Lu Ya had ridden before.
But seeing Xu Ke's smug expression, this body of his couldn't help but feel a surge of irritation for some reason.
He coldly shot back, "Since the token works both ways, Senior Brother Lu Ya will definitely know you're coming. He's with Mister Bai right now, and he didn't want you to meet Mister Bai before. So this time, he's bound to avoid you."
Xu Ke wasn't bothered, grinning foolishly. "You're overthinking it, Little Xuan. That’s definitely not going to—" But before he could finish, he suddenly froze. "What's going on? The connection really did just vanish?!"
The Azure Luan Bird beneath them hadn't caught on yet, still dumbly flying in the direction Xu Ke had originally indicated.
Xu Ke's face fell, and he began complaining, "Little Xuan, you're such a jinx. Good things never come true when you say them, but bad things happen as soon as you mention them…"
Li Fan gave him a cold smirk and swatted him with a claw.
