Chapter 124: Wrong Direction
Theron followed after Tenn before he suddenly paused.
"You are going in the wrong direction," Theron commented calmly.
Tenn blinked, his steps pausing for a second. The Sect was covered by a concealment formation, which was quite common practice. It stopped feral beasts from casually roaming in and disrupting the peace, while stronger beasts were smart enough to know danger was ahead and avoid it.
Usually, the formation could only be sensed clearly by those with Third Eye. A Bronze Resonance Mancer like Theron shouldn’t know the difference between walking toward the Sect and away from it.
Not only did Theron point it out, though, he did it with speed. They were still not even half a kilometer away from where Tenn had picked him up.
"The location for disciple entries, recommendation entries, and test entries are all different. You came to the main entrance of the Sect, but using it would require shutting down the entire formation. That only happens when it’s an important guest or a large-scale event. You’ve already missed the disciple acceptance period. Did you think we would make such an exception for a Bronze Mancer?"
The explanation was quite sharp and well thought out. So much so that though Theron felt he was lying, there were probably some kernels of truth to it.
The best lies weren’t complete lies, but shades and omissions of the truth. That was also in the assassin tenets.
Theron chose to continue to follow. Truthfully, he didn’t expect Tenn to admit his fault openly. But his words just now served their own purpose as well. They would make Tenn several times more cautious with what he would try to do because now he knew Theron was on high alert and not so easy to fool.
