    As David spoke, he fished out a wrinkled yellow talisman from his bosom. The runes on it were crooked and distorted, revealing the work of a beginner. “Look, this crappy thing! I thought it was useless.”

    Zi Yuan’s eyes swept over the talisman, and her fingertips subconsciously gathered a wisp of spiritual energy. It was indeed a low-level divine trapping talisman. The spiritual energy fluctuations were chaotic. Not to mention trapping a divine princess, even a first-rank cultivator in the Earthly Immortal Realm might not be able to hold her captive for even a moment. But

    she clearly remembered that when David imprisoned the princess at the city gate, that golden spiritual energy was as condensed as substance, in no wayparable to this useless talisman.

    “You’re in luck, Fellow Daoist.”

    Zi Yuan suppressed her doubts and pointed to a group of passing Divine Guards at the end of the street. “Those up ahead are Divine Guards patrolling the West City District. The Divine Capital has been quite restlesstely, with some unidentified cultivators roaming the area. If you’re wandering around, please avoid those secluded alleys.”

    She deliberately mentioned the unidentified cultivators, hoping to gauge David’s reaction to the Divine Guards sealing the city gates.

    David, however, only squinted at the Divine Guards’ silver armor, tut-tutting in amazement. “This armor is so shiny! Much more impressive than those soldiers I saw in the Fifth Heaven!

    If I had one, no one would dare to bully me when I’m running errands.”

    He reached out to touch the Divine Guards’ armor, but received a cold re from the Divine Guards, and then he withdrew his hand,pletely ignoring the unidentified cultivator’s words.

    Seeing his indifference, Zi Yuan’s suspicions, far from being dispelled, only intensified.

    She couldn’t believe a cultivator capable of trapping the princess could be so crude and ignorant, but David’s words and actions were wless. Whether it was his reverence for the Divine Kingdom, his greed for treasures, or his avoidance of crucial questions, he resembled a true, low-level, casual cultivator.

    “Ahead is Moon-Watching Tower, one of the few pavilions in the Divine Capital open to outsiders. Would you like to go up and sit for a while?”

    Zi Yuan suddenly changed direction, leading David to a loft carved with cloud patterns. “From upstairs, you can see most of the Divine Capital. Since you’vee here to see it, it’s a good opportunity to go up and take a look.”

    She considered trying a different setting. Perhaps, from a higher vantage point , David would reveal his true colors when they could see the imperial pce or the sealed area.

    David’s eyes lit up, and he hurried after him. “Great! Great! I’ve never seen a view from a high building!”

    He quickly ascended the attic steps, oblivious to the cold gaze Zi Yuan cast on his back.

    She had already decided that regardless of whether David was truly a casual cultivator or not, she would assign someone to keep an eye on him. Someone who could trap a Protoss princess at the first level of the Earthly Immortal Realm couldn’t be left alone.

    As soon as they reached the second floor of the attic, they overheard two Protoss cultivators at the neighboring table whispering. One mentioned that the seal on Leiyin Mountain had shifted again. The other quickly covered his mouth and nced around warily.

    David picked up the tea from the table and pretended to drink, but his ears perked up.

    Zi Yuan was sitting across from him, watching all his little movements. A subtle smile appeared on her lips. She wanted to see how long this pretending fool David could keep up.

    At this moment, the sound of loud morning reading attracted David. David looked in the direction of the sound and found that there was actually an academy not far from Wangyue Tower!

    David looked at the students in the academy. They were dressed in gorgeous clothes, with rosyplexions. Their every move showed the inherent nobility of the God n. However, in David’s eyes, that spirit and energy revealed a sense of pedantry.

    Seeing David’s eyes looking at the students, Zi Yuan said with pride: “This is the most noble academy in our God Kingdom. Those who study here are all geniuses.”

    “We, the cultivators of the God n, not only practice blindly, but also learn knowledge, cultivate sentiments, and cultivate our inner spirit.”

    “If you don’t have an inner spirit and only practice blindly, you will be a barbarian!”
