Ji Zhiyin saw Lei Feifei's puzzled expression. She was overjoyed in her heart. It seemed Lei Feifei didn't know about Yun Lintian's background. She could use this point to make Lei Feifei disgust Yun Lintian.
Ji Zhiyin pretended to put on a confused expression and asked. "You don't know this, Leader?"
"Know what?" Lei Feifei responded.
"Snow Maiden Mu is Mu Chen's master." Ji Zhiyin replied in a deep voice. "He actually interacts with his master's enemy. Don't Leader think he's ungrateful by doing this?"
A strange light flashed across Lei Feifei's eyes upon hearing this… Snow Maiden Mu? Master? Her body immediately relaxed, as she had figured out everything. It was impossible for Yun Lintian to have Snow Maiden Mu as his master because he clearly came from the Northern Continent. It must be his lies again.
Thinking of this, Lei Feifei didn't pay attention to Yun Lintian further and said. "Let's go back."
It was Ji Zhiyin's turn to be confused this time. She didn't understand why Lei Feifei was so calm, entirely different from her usual hot temper, but she didn't dare to say anything more and followed Lei Feifei behind.

In a luxury room, Du Huanfeng personally brewed a top-grade spirit tea and poured a cup of it for Yun Lintian. He motioned with his hand and lifted his own cup up, sipping a mouthful of it.
Yun Lintian also did the same. His eyes lit up slightly when he took a sip of tea. "This is the first time I taste the Westlake Dragon Tea. It is indeed extraordinary, as the rumor said."
Yun Lintian praised it from the bottom of his heart. He was originally a tea person and had studied a lot of famous tea in this world. The Westlake Dragon Tea was rumored to be produced on the Western Continent, where the ancient dragon died. Not only did it help nourish people's Profound veins and body, but also their souls. It could be considered one of the best teas in Azure World.
"Haha! I didn't expect Brother Mu to be this knowledgeable since a young age." Du Huanfeng praised with a smile. He poured Yun Lintian another cup and said. "This question may be rude, but I'm really curious. Where did Brother Mu come from? How could you join the Black Wing group?"
Yun Lintian didn't lift the cup immediately. He smiled and replied. "I was picked up by my master since I was young and lived secludedly on the mountain for all these years. My master sent me out to gain experience, and I happened to meet Brother Su. He introduced me to Leader Lei, and I decided to join her as a guest elder."
Du Huanfeng asked curiously. "Brother Su in your words should be Su Minghai. Am I correct?" Seeing Yun Lintian nodding his head, he said further. "It turns out to be like this… By the way, may I know your esteemed master's name? To be able to cultivate a young genius like Brother Mu, he must be a renowned figure. Perhaps I might have heard about him."
Yun Lintian replied in almost an instant. "To tell Young Master Du the truth, I don't know my master's name. I only know that her surname is Mu."
"Surname Mu?" Du Huanfeng's brows creased together, appearing tying to recall something.
Yun Lintian nodded. "I talked with other elders earlier, and they said my master is a well-known figure. She seems to have the title Snow Maiden Mu."
Du Huanfeng's pupils enlarged in shock upon hearing this, but he could control his facial expression exceptionally well. If Yun Lintian didn't pay attention closely to him, he would never notice this slight movement.
Du Huanfeng seemed to calm down and said as though he was talking to himself. "Snow Maiden Mu, Mu Qiuxue?"
"I'm not sure about that myself because Master never speaks about herself. This is the first time I have heard about this as well." Yun Lintian appeared as if he was in doubt.
Du Huanfeng stared at Yun Lintian attentively and believed that Yun Lintian didn't seem to know about his past with Mu Qiuxue. He asked curiously. "Snow Maiden Mu is a peerless genius who appears once in a thousand years. The rumor said she has offended a powerhouse and fled away afterward." He paused for a moment to observe Yun Lintian's expression and continued. "I didn't expect her to hide in a deep mountain for all these years."
He suddenly changed his tone after seeing no particular response on Yun Lintian's face. "Back then, Snow Maiden Mu was one of a few people I truly admired. She could bring herself to that high despite she has a commoner background. It could be seen how hard she worked. This made me, a someone growing up with a powerful background, in shame." He sighed softly and asked. "This may be too abrupt, but can Brother Mu tell me where your master is? I really want to see her once in my lifetime."
Du Huanfeng's face was full of endless admirations and sincerities to the point Yun Lintian couldn't even find a flaw. If he hadn't known about his past before, he would have believed Du Huanfeng's words by now.
Yun Lintian appeared troubled. He hesitated a long time and lowered his head apologetically. "Please forgive me, Young Master Du. My master doesn't like anyone to disturb her. I cannot reveal her whereabouts to you."
Du Huanfeng sighed regretfully and said. "I understand, Brother Mu. Since your master is like this, I won't insist further." He changed the topic. "May I ask how much Brother Mu gets from being a guest elder here?"
Yun Lintian was puzzled and asked. "Why did you ask this, Young Master Du?"
Du Huanfeng laughed slightly. "It's nothing. I feel that this is an arrangement of fate for us to meet here. I wonder whether Brother Mu is interested in joining my Myriad Pill Palace?"
"This…" Yun Lintian appeared stunned on the surface, but he laughed in his heart… What a terrific performance! If placing this Du Huanfeng on Earth, he will win the Oscar for sure.
