STRANGE EGG

“You made a friend,” Wang Xiaoling commented as he entered the dwelling.

“I wouldn’t say that. A neighbor I’ll wave at from a distance is a better description.” He closed the door before taking the seat across Wang Xiaoling, still holding the rest close to him. “But that’s not what you want to talk about.”

She pressed her lips together before sighing. “So, now you⁠—”

“Before that, Elder Yu likely arranged for me to stay here. It should be safe, but there’s no reason to say that out loud. In fact, it should never be mentioned. Anywhere.”

“I wasn’t going to, but I’m happy to know you’re taking it this seriously,” Wang Xiaoling said grimly.

“I wouldn’t do anything less,” William paused. “Did you know about this before? How did you avoid… them for so long?”

“Is this what your precious elder asked you to find out?” She laughed harshly. “She really wanted you to take control, didn’t she? Let me guess, she also gave you more concealment tokens to do exactly that.”

Wang Xiaoling was right about the control and the tokens. He withdrew the two concealment tokens Elder Yu had given him from his ring and tossed them to her.

“That’s all Elder Yu gave me,” William said after Wang Xiaoling caught them. “Each will last a hundred days, so you have nearly a year’s supply in your hands. I have no control over Elder Yu’s intentions, but they are not the same as mine.”

She stared at the tokens momentarily before sliding them up her sleeve. He tilted his head before pulling out the token Rong Jun had given her to get in contact with him.

“You can have this back, too,” William said as he tossed it to her. “I assume you have a hidden storage pouch there”

“Storage pouch?” Wang Xiaoling scoffed. “You think I would risk the concealment tokens in something so unstable?”

“That answers my question,” William commented with narrowed eyes. It also confirmed that she knew far more than was reasonable, even for the most experienced mortal who always dealt with cultivators. A silly thought entered his mind, one that didn’t leave. “… Is it a spatial stone?”

“Hm,” she nodded, leaning back in the plush seat. “Got it recently for a good price. It was tricky to have to hide that I was a mortal when I was making the offer. Still, cultivators are usually smug shits that refuse to believe a mortal would try to fool them.”

He ignored that she had likely insulted him in that sentence by indirectly calling him a smug shit. There was something far more confusing he was focused on.

“How can you even use a spatial stone? You need control over Qi, and you shouldn’t have spiritual pathways at the moment, let alone Qi.”

“I think that’s enough of trying to find out more of my secrets, don’t you think?” Wang Xiaoling said dryly.

“Alright, that’s fair,” William agreed. “… It leaves us with the same problem. You don’t trust me, and I can do little to change that.”

“I wouldn’t say I don’t trust you.
