Scarlett Jennings focused her gaze, noticing a faint gray mist around the woman’s ankle.
It was like the trace left by something wrapped around her and tripping her.
From beside her, Nathan White spoke in a small voice,
"That’s an Immortal."
Being Immortal White, he naturally had a clearer sense of fellow immortals than others around him.
Upon hearing this, Scarlett Jennings combined it with the gray circle she had just seen and guessed it was likely a Willow Spirit.
Gregory Xander furrowed his brow, believing even if it was an Immortal, they shouldn’t harm people so casually in public.
He was about to get up to pull the person out, when Sun Instructor, who was in charge of this team, spoke,
"Leave it be, this doesn’t count as causing harm, don’t get involved."
The other party had been concealing their aura until now, only acting to stop the woman from entangling the girl, which could barely be considered a good deed.
Moreover, after acting, the person quickly retracted their aura and withdrew, so there wasn’t any need to hold on to it.
Even though the Mystical Sect had its rules, they could turn a blind eye to trivial matters.
Scarlett Jennings observed Sun Instructor’s attitude, her apricot eyes flickered, then suddenly turned her head, casting a mysterious gaze towards the quarreling family of three.
...
The passengers noticed that the carriage, which had been noisy, somehow returned to silence.
The family of three seemed to have finally quieted down and stopped making a commotion.
The passengers assumed that once the young girl left, they finally settled down and didn’t think much of it.
However, Stella Gibson and her group were right next to the family and could see that the couple was still cursing, while the child continued to wail.
Yet, despite the commotion, the three made no sound that reached their ears.
It was like a silent film; they could see them speaking but couldn’t hear a thing.
Initially, Stella Gibson thought it was because of the Silence Talisman, but even after removing it, she still couldn’t hear anything.
What was going on?
Upon closer inspection, she saw a Silence Rune drawn in the middle of the four seats occupied by the family of three.
The Silence Rune was akin to the one she had; it also served to isolate sound within a defined range.
Yet it seemed somewhat different.
Meanwhile, Gregory Xander also noticed the Silence Rune and looked at Scarlett Jennings with slight dissatisfaction.
Forget the Immortal business, but as a proper student of the Taoism Academy, why are you creating trouble?
Scarlett Jennings met Gregory Xander’s disapproving gaze with calm confidence,
"Sun Instructor said it’s okay."
This doesn’t count as causing harm, so it can be overlooked.
Sun Instructor: ???
Was that what I meant just now???
No matter what Sun Instructor meant, Scarlett Jennings took it that way.
Primarily, she didn’t want to block out all surrounding sounds entirely, so instead isolating the noise source was more straightforward.
This way, the entire carriage returned to peace from the "root."
Besides the silence, Scarlett Jennings added a little adjustment to her spell.
Yes, just a small one.
...
After the couple realized the young girl had truly left and no one else came to intervene, they gradually stopped their cursing and went quiet.
However, their son still cried endlessly.
After all, he hadn’t gotten the game controller he screamed for today and even got spanked twice by his father.
He felt terribly wronged by the world.
The couple was used to his crying and didn’t bother to stop him, figuring he’d tire himself out.
They didn’t care if the noise bothered other passengers in the carriage.
Yet slowly, they noticed something was amiss.
The son’s crying seemed to grow louder, almost as if it was right in their ears.
