Should it possess any mystical abilities, he truly wouldn't be taken aback in the least.
Chiang Xiao mulled it over and saw no flaws in that reasoning herself.
"So, why not test it out?" With this Talisman Diagram, attempting it seemed feasible enough. In the past, she had been on her own, lacking anyone to consult, and worried about running into troubles beyond her control.
Having Meng Xinian there now made Chiang Xiao feel far more secure.
Attempting the Talisman Diagram remained a viable option.
Meng Xinian knitted his brows, "In that case, let me give it a go."
If it truly transported someone a thousand miles distant, he ought to be the one venturing there, no? Should it actually work and Chiang Xiaoxiao ended up a thousand miles off, how could he rest easy?
Chiang Xiao paused briefly before nodding in agreement.
With so many powerful foes watching them intently like hungry tigers, how could they afford to fret over every little detail?
"Once I've sketched it, we'll head outdoors."
"Fine. You sketch it, and I'll prepare."
Upon completing the Thousand Mile Talisman Diagram, Chiang Xiao glanced up at Meng Xinian and saw him outfitted completely, carrying several items—a cap, sturdy boots—he resembled someone gearing up for intense fieldwork.
"Brother Xinian, what's all this?"
"If I end up a thousand miles from here for real, who can say where I'll land? Better to be ready, right? Hand over the Talisman Diagram."
Chiang Xiao swiftly slipped the Talisman Diagram into a little pouch she'd handmade earlier for storing such diagrams, laced it with cord, and fastened it around Meng Xinian's wrist.
Right away, she led him out of the Space.
She retreated a couple of paces, fixing her gaze on him, a mix of tension and worry stirring within.
Would he vanish before her very eyes?
Given its name as the Thousand Mile Talisman Diagram, Chiang Xiao trusted it posed no real threat and would simply relocate someone a thousand miles away.
If not, she never would have allowed Meng Xinian to experiment with it.
Yet if he did travel a thousand miles, how on earth would he return?
Was it a single-direction journey? No way back?
Meng Xinian stood poised as well, bracing for some extraordinary event.
"Little, should I vanish for real, stay calm and don't fret. I'll locate a spot to phone you and confirm I'm okay."
Chiang Xiao gave a nod.
Even though they were set and stared at one another for a long stretch, no odd occurrences took place.
Not just no oddities, but zero faint signs of anything amiss.
Chiang Xiao's tone carried a hint of strain, "Brother Xinian, do you sense anything?"
Meng Xinian shook his head.
"Maybe we're not activating it correctly?"
Chiang Xiao's rigid stance eased at once, and she approached, removed the Talisman Diagram from his wrist, and examined it once more.
Relief mingled with a touch of letdown in her emotions.
Had he truly vanished right there, anxiety would have been unavoidable.
But with everything staying normal, a subtle disappointment crept in.
Meng Xinian bent closer to inspect the Talisman Diagram as well.
He remarked abruptly, "You mentioned these form two parts joined, didn't you? Perhaps they require separate use?"
Otherwise, what purpose did crafting it as a Twin Talisman Diagram serve?
Chiang Xiao's eyes brightened.
"Right, maybe that's how Twin Talisman Diagrams work—apart from each other?" The booklet held several more Twin Talisman Diagrams, so if this method held true, she'd have a clear way to experiment with the rest later on.
