Chapter 188: No Inner World

Qiao Mu and her group arrived at Qinghe Town at noon.
Everyone dismounted from their horse but did not hurry to enter. Instead, they gathered at the entrance and planned to eat some dry food and to rest and regain their energy before entering the town.
The leaders of the three sects were Xu Shanshan, Situ Yi, and Shang Kun.
Duan Yue insisted on staying in Qiao Mu’s team no matter what. Even the cold indifference of the seven celestial maidens did not dissolve his stubborn will to stay.
Qiao Mu did not care. This youth definitely had a higher cultivation than her and felt a bit mysterious.
He might look like a weakling, but he wasn’t.
The child looked up at the sky. Although it was noon, the sky above Qinghe Town was gray, as though it was draped with a curtain of death.
Everyone silently took out their dry food to eat.
The child saw that most of the mystic cultivators did the same thing. They swiped their hands through the air and took out food from their inner world.
However, a certain sad child could only resign to her fate and untie a pouch from her waist. Then, she took out some cake from within.
She had just taken a bite when an explosive yell was heard.
“Aren’t you a mystic cultivator?” Liu Yexin acted like she had obtained some leverage against the child. She pointed at her with a malicious smile and said, “Oh! I know! You’re a mystic cultivator without an inner world! Hahaha, no inner world! No mystic conscious! Idiot! Trash mystic cultivator, hahahahaha!”
Liu Yexin did not notice how the subject of her insult, Qiao Mu, remained expressionless and did not have a single ripple in her emotions.
Meanwhile, the four or five other mystic cultivators assigned to different teams all furiously looked up at Liu Yexin!
Situ Yi and Senior Brother Wang were both seated near Liu Yexin and glared at this brainless junior sister with a frown.
While she was arrogantly mocking other people, did she forget that their Heavenly Dao Sect team also had two mystic cultivators who had not triggered their inner world yet?
One of them was Senior Brother Zhao. He was over 30, and being unable to trigger his inner world was his eternal wound.
Liu Yexin originally intended to deride Qiao Mu, but she had offended a majority of the mystic cultivators with that sentence alone.
Duan Yue peered up and looked at the child beside him with interest.
This child was someone not to be trifled with! She would definitely insult her back!
However—
“Hehehehehe.” Qiao Mu released a string of mechanical chuckles in correspondence to the “Hahahahaha” at the end of Liu Yexin’s speech.
There wasn’t a single minuscule movement in her brows, eyes, and nose. If it were not for the sound that escaped her lips, no one would think she was laughing.
She was the personification of a doll carved from jade and ice.
After the child finished laughing, she looked down again and returned to eating her cake, ignoring everyone else.
Everyone: …
“Pft.” Duan Yue laughed out loud.
As expected, following this child was too interesting.
Situ Yi glanced at the child with both amusement and exasperation. “Little Junior Sister is still young, so it’s normal for her to not have an inner world yet. Junior Sister Liu, if I remember right, you just condensed your mystic conscious and opened your inner world successfully one month ago. Plus, you are five years older than Little Junior Sister.”
When Liu Yexin heard Situ Yi talk about her like this, her pride took such a hit that she nearly cried. However, no one was in the mood to comfort the willful Junior Sister Liu.
“Humph.” Xu Shanshan and her junior sisters harrumphed but spared Liu Yexin when they saw Situ Yi berate her.
Senior Brother Wang held a map and said, “Everyone, please come and take a look.”
“The entire Qinghe Town can be divided into three places.”
“We’re not sure about the actual location of the granary, so we will need to separate into three parties and investigate.”
