She watched Meng Xinian drive away, and when she tried to open the door to enter the house, she suddenly remembered she had locked it from the inside.
Luckily, such a high wall wasnât an obstacle for her.
Chiang Xiao was the person climbing her own wall this time. After getting inside, she drew a few more talisman diagrams.
She had agreed with Meng Xinian to open the talisman diagram in half an hour.
When the half-hour was up, Chiang Xiao realized she hadnât even finished drawing the diagram.
Previously she was focused on drawing and didnât keep track of time. Now she realized that drawing the Thousand Miles Talisman Diagram was really time-consuming.
This unfinished piece would have to wait to be completed later.
When the time was up, Chiang Xiao hurried out of the space and opened the half-done talisman diagram.
"Splash."
Boundless water instantly surrounded Chiang Xiao.
The water was icy.
And Chiang Xiao was still in a daze.
She didnât realize why she was in the water!
Consequently, unprepared, she swallowed a couple of mouthfuls of water.
A strong hand pulled her up, lifting her out of the water.
Meng Xinianâs voice, mixed with exasperation and amusement, sounded beside her.
"Arenât you supposed to be good with water?"
"How would I know youâd still be in the water?" Chiang Xiao spat out a mouthful of river water, pushed her wet hair back, wiped the water off her face, and then opened her eyes wide at him.
"Calculation error, this river is a bit wider than I thought." Meng Xinian coughed, feeling quite embarrassed.
Chiang Xiao looked around. They werenât far from the shore, really just about two meters away.
"So youâre saying that wherever you are, I will end up right next to you?"
With him in the river, she couldnât get two meters past him to the shore without splashing, and thus she ended up right behind him in the river?
This really was tricky.
Chiang Xiao was speechless, but as she looked, she couldnât help but burst out laughing.
Meng Xinian was a little baffled by her reaction.
"Falling into the water and youâre still laughing?"
The water was indeed quite cold.
He quickly swam with her towards the shore.
Chiang Xiao said, "Iâm happy, Brother Xinian, havenât we just proven it now? Even with a river between us, I can still end up next to you."
So, this Thousand Miles Talisman Diagram was really, really useful!
On the shore, Meng Xinian immediately got her to take out a big towel to wrap herself with.
To prevent catching a cold from the night breeze blowing through her wet clothes.
"Hmm, it seems thatâs indeed the way it is now."
"Now we just need to test the maximum distance." Chiang Xiao said while taking out two bottles of water to drink with him.
As soon as the pure spirit spring water was consumed, the chill was dispelled from her body, leaving her warm.
Soon theyâll swim back to the other side anyway, so changing out of her wet clothes could wait.
Meng Xinian thought for a moment, "How about I drive thousands of miles away tomorrow to take a look?"
Even though this means they would be apart for a day, itâs necessary for the experiment.
Chiang Xiao nodded.
Go, of course, go, it would be best to test everything before he might be dispatched elsewhere.
She pondered for a moment then suddenly said, "By the way, Brother Xinian, why donât you head towards D State?"
D State was indeed a thousand miles away from the Capital City, but she had thought of a way, and it seemed feasible.
If this method worked, she could quickly appear in D State in the future, making it much easier to visit her dad, wouldnât it?
Though she thought about this plan in her heart, she hadnât mentioned it to Meng Xinian yet.
But who was Meng Xinian?
Just hearing her mention it, he instantly figured it out.
