Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 2484: Practically hugging me

When I came out, I already knew how the elders would react.

But since I didn’t show them anything, it wasn’t as if they could say anything about me.

If they were to search me, then it really would have become an international incident.

The only thing that I showed them in the end was the hoe, but they had no reaction to it at all.

This was something that I had already tested previously with the stone shard, so I was already certain that they wouldn’t be able to detect the immortal energy. Which was why I showed them the hoe to help back up my story.

From what I could see, it seemed like the immortal energy was just too advanced for them to sense.

Which was strange since Max was able to sense it even though these cultivators weren’t able to.

Was that just because Max was special or was it something else about the immortal energy?

Regardless of what it was, it was safe to show them the hoe. It wasn’t as if these prestigious cultivators were about to fight me over a simple hoe.

If they had really done that, then they would have lost all face.

So the only thing that they could do was accept that this was an accident and leave for now. However, I could see from the way that they acted that they were calling for backup to search this area.

I had already decided to give up the garden to them and it was already picked clean, so it wasn’t as if this was a problem.

The problem was the way that they chose to stick to me after we left this place.

The way that the elders stood right beside me, it was as if they were afraid that the same thing would happen again. If they were any closer to me, we would practically be hugging at this point.

It really seemed like they didn’t want to let me out of their sights for even a second...

It wasn’t as if I couldn’t understand why they were doing this, but it was a bit uncomfortable having a bunch of old men stick around me like this.

The guards that had come with me also looked at the cultivators with narrowed eyes, as if they were trying to force them to move away. But it didn’t seem like the cultivators were planning on doing anything like that.

So I had no choice but to calm down the guards that had come with me before an international incident sparked.

But I did have to get rid of them.

"It’s a bit mean, but they’re the ones that started this." Then after a pause, I thought to myself, "Or am I the one that started it by using falling as an excuse?"

Regardless of what it was, I still had to lose them if I wanted to enter the next spot.

It was just that it didn’t seem like they were going to take any deviations at all with the way that they were guiding me back. The elders all wanted to take me back to the sect as soon as possible so they could report this matter.

"Oops."

The moment that I started falling, the elders that were around me even started diving on the ground as if they were going to catch me. The way that they jumped in front of me like this made them seem like bodyguards that were willing to do anything to protect me.

When in reality, they were just trying to prevent me from doing anything that they couldn’t control.

When I landed on the elders that had dived down, all of them had surprised and confused looks on their faces. After all, all of them had thought that they would be thrown into some kind of hidden space because they dived in front of me like this.

It was just that there was nothing there.

"Are you alright?" I asked the elders that had dived on the ground like this.

None of them could stop their faces from revealing awkward expressions after hearing me ask this. It really was hard for them to act like everything was normal with the way that they had acted.

If possible, they really wanted to dig holes to hide themselves in shame.

But they had no choice but to act as if everything was normal.

Only when it happened for a second time, a third time, a fourth time...

The awkward looks on the faces of the elders became worse and worse.

As they looked at me, I could see what they were thinking.

"Is he doing this on purpose?"

Of course, none of them dared to say this out loud since it would have caused another international problem.

But it hurt their pride to keep diving to the ground like this.

Not to mention that with the dirt that was raised, they were starting to look like a bunch of beggars.

If there was one thing that I had to admire, it was the fact that they still kept diving even when they weren’t certain if something was going to happen or not. At this point, it didn’t even matter if something happened or not.

They just had to keep going even if it didn’t seem like there was anything that happened.

After all, they couldn’t risk it on the off chance that something did happen.

But no matter how they kept diving, it didn’t seem like anything was going to happen.

This period of nothing happening made the elders slowly let down their guard since it was tiring to keep their guard up like this the entire time.

"Thank you." I said as I was being helped up by one of the elders, but then I suddenly started moving forward.

The elders were completely caught off guard by this, but they were even more shocked when they saw me suddenly disappear into thin air. When it was over, all of them had bitter looks on their faces.
