CHAPTER 124: CHAPTER 124 LUCK IS ALSO A KIND OF STRENGTH

"The children have been missing for a while, and I don’t have much time to explain to you. I’ll explain when I return," Xia Mian said, reaching out again to touch the invisible door.

Lu Zechuan stepped forward and grabbed her hand, "I’ll go with you."

Xia Mian didn’t refuse. She didn’t know what the other world was like, but she knew that if she couldn’t return, Lu Zechuan might die.

In that case, it’s safer for Lu Zechuan to stay by her side.

Holding Lu Zechuan’s hand tightly, Xia Mian took a step forward.

With just one step, the two of them vanished into thin air!

Beside them, Fu Jingtian and the two others were astonished, their jaws dropping!

Was this some kind of magic trick?

How could two big people just disappear like that?

Fu Jingtian, bewildered, also reached out to touch the air above the low wall.

His hand waved through the air, but no invisible door appeared.

Fu Jingtian turned to Yang Yuming and asked, "Honey, am I seeing things?"

Yang Yuming, equally stunned, replied instinctively, "Honey, did Miss Xia and Mr. Lu ascend?"

Yang Yuming was a fan of novels, especially fantasy and martial arts ones. She’d always believed there was another world, and now, she witnessed its existence with her own eyes!

The Fu Family’s driver covered his face with his hand. The usually sharp young master and lady seemed a bit dull now!

****

Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan felt a flash of white light before their eyes, and when they opened them again, they were in a world completely different from before.

Here, the hedges were sparse, and there were small bridges and flowing water. The mountains were green and beautiful, and time was peaceful.

This place was a world apart from where they lived.

Xia Mian took out her phone and glanced at it. As soon as they arrived here, the phone lost signal and even began to flicker strangely before shutting off.

"This should be it," Xia Mian said, looking around for any sign of Fu Zhou and Meng Meng.

However, with the lush vegetation, Fu Zhou and Meng Meng were tiny, and her neck was sore from looking up, yet she still couldn’t find any trace of the kids.

"Let’s go check up ahead," Lu Zechuan suggested quietly.

Since arriving here, Lu Zechuan felt an unprecedented lightness in his body. A refreshing aura seeped into his body through every pore, making him feel incredibly comfortable.

This was a sensation he had never experienced in his first twenty years of life.

Xia Mian nodded slightly, glancing at Lu Zechuan. She couldn’t help but notice that his skin seemed to have improved. What was going on?

Though the environment here was nourishing, it seemed to be working too quickly on Lu Zechuan.

All the greenery here was wild and growing freely, with many vine plants reaching half a person’s height. If the two kids were trapped inside, people outside wouldn’t be able to see them.

As Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan were there to find the kids, they walked slowly, calling out the children’s names as they went.

"Fu Zhou! Meng Meng!" Xia Mian’s voice carried far, and soon after, echoes came back from deep in the mountains, "Fu Zhou! Meng Meng!"

After Xia Mian finished shouting, a shadow suddenly appeared above their heads.

Looking up, Xia Mian couldn’t help but twitch her lips fiercely.

Alright, maybe she entered the wrong way—wasn’t this supposed to be the Immortal Gate World?

Why were there two people flying overhead?

"Who dares to make noise at the foot of my Yukun Mountain!" one of the birdmen, dressed in a Taoist robe, looked down fiercely at Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian.

After seeing the two of them, the birdmen’s eyes shifted slightly.

"These two are dressed so oddly!" the other birdman glanced disdainfully at Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian.

Lu Zechuan squinted slightly. Was it polite for the two to discuss them right in front of their faces like this?

"Have you seen two children?" Xia Mian, not wanting to argue about their attitude, shifted the topic to inquire about the whereabouts of Fu Zhou and Meng Meng.

Perhaps hovering in the air required some mana, as the birdmen soon descended slowly to the ground.

Both wore white Taoist robes embellished with fine gold thread along the edges.

The style of the robes was similar to what Gu Xiang had worn before, though the quality seemed much more exquisite.

"Children?" The square-faced birdman, the first to speak, scanned Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan with suspicion, then turned to the long-faced man beside him, "Senior Brother, did you see any?"

Though they arrived fiercely, the two seemed a bit dim-witted now. Barely a minute had passed, and they had forgotten their purpose...

The long-faced man blinked, "Are there any kids on our mountain?"

The square-faced man turned back to Xia Mian, shaking his head, "We haven’t seen any children."

Then, the square-faced man continued asking, "Who are you, and what do you want at my Yukun Mountain?"

Xia Mian felt like she had encountered two idiots.

"I want to go up the mountain to find someone," Xia Mian said, not wanting to waste more words with them.

Fu Zhou and Meng Meng had been in the unfamiliar world for quite some time, which posed many unimaginable dangers. Every moment the children weren’t found was another moment of risk.

"Yukun Mountain prohibits outsiders from entering!" the square-faced man sternly refused.

Xia Mian glanced at them and said, "How could I be an outsider? I’m your Grand Ancestor!"

Xia Mian bluffed without hesitation, but unexpectedly, the two silly-faced ones actually took her seriously, examining her thoroughly from head to toe.

A moment later, the long-faced man slapped his forehead in alarm, "It really is the Grand Ancestor!!!"

On Yukun Mountain, there were portraits of past ancestors, and this person before them, though oddly dressed, looked exactly like their Grand Ancestor!

"Greetings, Grand Ancestor!" The long-faced man bowed deeply to Xia Mian.

Xia Mian remained calm and waved her hand nonchalantly, "Take me up the mountain!"

The long-faced and square-faced men dared not delay. Indeed, Yukun Mountain had a Grand Ancestor known for her elusive nature and penchant for wandering, treating Yukun Mountain’s prohibitions as a joke.

"Grand Ancestor, you haven’t shown yourself for many years. Your disciples were momentarily blind and failed to recognize your esteemed self. Please, forgive us!" The long-faced man smiled, leading the way.

When Grand Ancestor appeared, she appeared walking. Grand Ancestor liked to stay low-profile, and they couldn’t be too flashy.

Lu Zechuan watched the long-faced man’s rapid change of demeanor and direction, glancing at Xia Mian with raised eyebrows as if asking, "Is this real?"

Xia Mian simply smiled slightly. Why not? Luck is also a form of strength.
