Chapter 7, A Misstep

However, all of this was anticipated by Morin; his contingency plan was specifically designed to address such unforeseen circumstances

Mosen remained silent

With such an important role, its reliability goes without saying. This improved earthworm grass has always been regarded by Morin as a secret weapon. He is fully aware of the strong adsorption capacity of the loosened soil after planting such a patch of earthworm grass. No perceiver below the third level of strength can hope to escape from it, let alone an ordinary person

"Rest assured, I have not mistaken the person. Lu Ping, a repeating student at Zhaifeng Academy who has failed the two major examinations, it would be one thing if you were merely complacent, but you also have to parasitize on the lives of others. I am referring to you, am I not?" said Morin

Haha. Morin laughed happily and turned around. After carefully examining for a moment, he confirmed that this was indeed the Lu Ping mentioned by Mo Sen. This trap was clearly not just a simple pit; rather, it resembled a swamp, a patch of loose quicksand. As soon as Lu Ping ran here, he immediately sank deep into it, leaving only his head above ground, unable to move at all.

Wow

Lu Ping fell silent for a moment, then looked at Morin and said, "You are not one of us from the academy"

There is no such possibility

"Do you really think this can trap me?" Lu Ping said

However, regardless of the circumstances, it is unheard of for an awakened individual to possess the threefold realm of awakening by nature. Moreover, even an awakened individual cannot conceal their soul power. Based on the intelligence from Mo Sen and Mo Lin's own observations and judgments, there is indeed no detectable presence of soul power in Lu Ping.

"I won't act recklessly; I will be very careful. I'm just trying it out, Uncle. In fact, you don't really want him to die, do you?" said Morin.

Five, four, three, two, one

Everything was as usual, except for Moshen. Lu Ping, who would normally be infuriated by those actions, surprisingly displayed an unexpected level of cooperation today. However, Lu Ping showed no signs of astonishment at this unusual attitude, as if he had anticipated it all along

What... what is going on? By the time he made a sound, Lu Ping had already vanished into the night. Morin stared at the large pit before him, his face still filled with disbelief.

After busying himself with these matters, Morin had analyzed the situation in his mind countless times, yet he still could not comprehend it. However, he did not dare to probe further lightly. The depths and shallows of Lu Ping were completely beyond his understanding

I am Lu Ping!" Lu Ping smiled.

I went back to sleep. Lu Ping carefully brushed off the dirt from his body, not even glancing at Morin.

"Who do you think I am?" Lu Ping asked

"This is not scientific..." Morin mumbled. After all, he was an assassin, accustomed to bloody killings. In this situation, not receiving any retaliation was nothing short of a miracle

I didn't step on anything at all!" Lu Ping raised his hands and said to Mo Sen

The uncle and nephew analyzed until dawn, yet they remained utterly perplexed. As a conduit of the spirit, Mo Sen's eyes were bloodshot from the strain, which clearly could not be attributed solely to excessive fatigue

Unable to see or discern, and clearly the other party had no intention of saying anything, Mo Sen simply watched Lu Ping leave. His nephew, Mo Lin, emerged from the densest part of the flowerbed after Lu Ping had departed.

Mosen nodded slightly, his expression extremely complex

Moreover, Morin shifted his gaze towards the flowerbed, "What is going on with your sleeping fire lotus? It seemed that you just removed the bud yesterday, yet now it appears as if you are trying to cultivate it to bloom anew?"

There is no problem... This type of verification was conducted by Morin before planting the earthworm grass in the afternoon, and it is now just a matter of confirming it once again

Yesterday, around 3 a.m., his nephew Morin sneaked into his room, giving him quite a fright, but this was nothing compared to what Morin would later recount to him. They went back and forth just to confirm the events, and it took three times to do so

This is the place!

What is going on?" Morin was still mumbling.

"Alright!" Lu Ping nodded, as this seemed to be the only action he could take at that moment

Thank you. Lu Ping happily walked over, picked up the watering hose, and washed up

"Mr. Mo Sen, you're here so early!" Lu Ping greeted.

"Isn't it amazing?" Morin moved closer, crouching in front of Lu Ping's head, pointing to a grass plant beside his face and said, "This is called earthworm grass. Its roots, during the growth process, can make the soil exceptionally loose. However, what you see now is a specially cultivated variety by me; they grow faster and have stronger reproductive capabilities. I just planted this in the afternoon, and look, it has already grown this large, with both width and depth. In a little while, your head will also start to sink. Do you have anything else to say? Hurry up!"

Nevertheless, the distance between the two parties is continuously narrowing. Although Morin can see clearly and runs steadily, he cannot run very fast. The guy behind him, although running in a stumbling manner, is full of momentum.

"What did you say?" Mo Sen was taken aback

Then I will go back to sleep. As soon as Lu Ping's voice fell, dust and sand were kicked up, and his arms had already pulled out from the ground. Before Morin could react, he pushed himself up with both hands at his sides, and his whole body was lifted up from the ground. Then, as if stepping up a staircase, he took a step forward, stepping on the hard soil beside him, and walked up like that. The entire process showed no signs of effort or struggle; the series of movements were so natural.

The figure pursuing from behind suddenly fell down, clearly having plunged into the ground. Morin had long set a trap here. This was his contingency plan, a strategy that could be both offensive and defensive.

"Who exactly are you?" This question, which had troubled Mo Sen for an entire night, was finally asked.

"Please tidy this up, it is too dangerous." After saying this, he turned around and left, leaving Morin alone to stare blankly at the large pit left by the road after it was cleared.

"Ha, are you planning to beg for mercy?" Morin laughed

When Lu Ping opened the window, he saw Mo Sen busy in the flowerbed outside.

Until now, Lu Ping opened the window and then, as usual, climbed out through it

Incredible

"Don't mess around!" Mo Sen said, feeling that Lu Ping was somewhat inscrutable. However, more importantly, after the incident with the viewing pavilion yesterday, he already felt a bit of regret. Last night, when Mo Lin woke him from his sleep and informed him of his blunder, he was surprised, yet deep down, there seemed to be a hint of relief.

"You do not need to know this." The words that Morin had just said to Lu Ping were returned to him verbatim by Lu Ping

Listening to the footsteps behind her, Morin began to count silently in her heart

What is going on?" Mo Sen asked in confusion

"A joke, or else? Who do you think you are?" said Morin

Under the dim starlight, Morin's run showed no signs of stopping; he could see everything clearly and was exceedingly familiar with this route. The footsteps behind him, however, were unsteady, with legs and feet colliding violently with the flowers and grass, causing Morin to feel a pang of sympathy for Mosen.

"Who sent you here?" Lu Ping asked

Is that so? What have you misunderstood? Morin is still smiling

No, I mean, I have a slight misunderstanding about you" Lu Ping said

How? Morin expressed confusion over Lu Ping's actions

However, whether it is the soil or the earthworm grass, there are no issues at all. Therefore, the problem must lie with Lu Ping, an ordinary person's body, possessing strength beyond the third level of power.

Oh, and then what?" said Morin

What on earth is going on?" Morin muttered once again, while also having to comply with Lu Ping's instructions to clear away the planted earthworms grass

Those who are born with the ability to perceive the power of the soul are referred to as Awakeners. Their innate perception of the soul's power possesses extraordinary sharpness and intensity. They can elevate the realm of this soul power more rapidly, and the connection with the sixth layer and the soul of the hero will also be smoother and more stable, resulting in abilities that are often more powerful, typically at level 4 or above. For instance, Moshen's inspection and Luowei's perspective, while each has its own utility, do not possess actual combat lethality, ultimately being rated as level 2.

The uncle and nephew exchanged glances, while Lu Ping maintained a nonchalant attitude, leaving them even more perplexed. Whether it was the poisoned needle or the earthworm grass, the murderous intent displayed by Morin was unmistakably clear. Yet, this fellow just let it go without any resolution? Not even a hint of vengeful thought?

There may be some individuals who possess innate strength, but this so-called innate strength can be discovered through perception and exploration, and in fact, it originates from the essence of power. They are natural perceivers, inherently attuned to the essence of power, and some are even born at the first level of the celestial realm

Early in the morning, he rushed out to tend to the flowerbed, but this time, he could not calm his mind no matter what.

"There was a slight misunderstanding just now," Lu Ping said

The fire lotus has a strong heat energy, and when it blooms, it inevitably absorbs a large amount of water. Therefore, it is suitable for growing in water. If it is on land, its blooming can cause localized drought, potentially leading to the wilting of plants within a two-meter radius. Is this not the reason you removed its flower bud

"Yes, I am not, so what?" said Morin

Is there something particularly different about this soil?" Morin pinched a handful of loosened earth mixed with wormwood and even tasted it.

Mosen nodded with difficulty, and then saw Lu Ping searching in the flowerbed, immediately pointing in a certain direction: "Over there"

I want to try him again," said Morin

Twenty-three steps, turn left, run straight, evade obstacles

Early morning, sunlight, a new day

This is his alternative plan, a strategy that allows for both offense and defense, meaning that when the situation is not optimistic, this is his means of preserving his life

"You do not need to know this," Morin said
