"It's good that you are safe." In a spacious room with walls made of Black Jade, a young woman in her twenties heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing Lei Feifei. She had a decent appearance with a pair of sharp eyes. Her name was Zhou Qingyu, the Black Jade Island Master.
"You are still overacting, as usual, Qingyu." Lei Feifei unceremoniously sat on a luxury sofa and said.
Zhou Qingyu was a little angry, as she said. "Isn't it because I'm worried about you?" She rolled her eyes and turned to Lei Jin, bowing respectfully. "Little Girl Qingyu greetings Uncle Jin."
Lei Jin stroked his beard and smiled warmly. "Your strength has improved again."
Zhou Qingyu replied with a smile and made an inviting gesture. "It's still far from Uncle Jin… Please take a seat."
Lei Jin didn't stand further and sat on a comfortable chair nearby Lei Feifei.
Zhou Qingyu served the guests a high-grade spirit tea and said. "I heard that you have recruited a guest elder. Why don't you tell me about it?"
Lei Feifei curled her lips and teased. "Are you a worm in my stomach? How did you know about this so fast?"
Zhou Qingyu covered her mouth and giggled. "There were several people at the scene when your newly recruited guest elder showed his might. Of course, I learned about it from them."
Lei Feifei took a sip of tea and said. "He's special. I can only tell you this. I suggest that you should befriend him. Trust me, he will bring you an unimagined benefit later."
Zhou Qingyu looked at her best friend weirdly and asked. "Feifei, don't tell me you are falling for him?"
Lei Feifei rolled her eyes annoyingly. "What nonsense are you talking about? He's just a little boy to me. How could I fall for him?"
Zhou Qingyu narrowed her eyes and smiled slyly. "Have you ever heard of this? They said eating a young boy will grant you immortality. I thought you wanted to gain immortality."
Lei Feifei laughed angrily. "I see. You didn't manage your island recently because you spent your time with this nonsense again."
Zhou Qingyu pouted. "It has nothing to do with this. I was busy with my practice, though."
Lei Feifei had an "I don't believe you" expression as she rolled her eyes.
Zhou Qingyu changed the topic. "Where is he now? Why don't you bring him here?"
"He's with Du Huanfeng." Lei Feifei replied casually.
Zhou Qingyu's complexion changed drastically. "What? How could he betray you like this?"
Lei Feifei leaned comfortably and said. "Who he wants to be with has nothing to do with me as long as he performs his duty as a guest elder. Our relationship is based on a mutual benefit, to begin with. So this isn't counted as a betrayal."
Zhou Qingyu looked at Lei Feifei in puzzlement. She felt that she didn't understand this best friend of hers anymore. According to Lei Feifei's personality, she would never tolerate anyone that interacted with the enemy's camp. How could she act so carefree like this?
This made Zhou Qingyu's curiosity toward Yun Lintian grow further. She wanted to see who this young man was to make her best friend become like this.
"Let's not talk about this. Have you investigated what I told you?" Lei Feifei asked.
Zhou Qingyu moistened her throat with the spirit tea and replied. "It's as you had expected. Someone had secretly sent your position to them. Unfortunately, this person didn't know that Du Huanfeng has come along."
A cold glint radiated from Lei Feifei's eyes as she asked. "Who is it?"
"Honestly, I'm actually surprised when I discovered him." Zhou Qingyu waved her hand, and a young woman immediately walked into the room while dragging a man behind. This man struggled fiercely, but he could not get rid of the young woman's grasp.
Lei Feifei glanced at the man, and her face was full of incredulity. "Lei Sushan?"
The man before her was Lei Sushan, one of her subordinates who left the Divine Thunder Palace with her several years ago. She didn't expect it was him who sold her.
Lei Sushan stopped struggling and tilted his head to look at Lei Feifei. His face instantly clouded with terror as he hurriedly said. "Young Miss, please help me. This is a misunderstanding."
Lei Feifei turned her head away and asked. "How did you find him?"
Zhou Qingyu glanced at Lei Sushan and explained. "At first, I had never suspected him, but who knew he would actually come to my Hundred Flower Restaurant and fall in my people's hands. Under their Hundred Flower Illusion, he had spilled everything by himself. This is truly coincident."
Hearing this, Lei Jin's eyes squinted slightly, and a killing intent immediately locked onto Lei Sushan. "You ungrateful thing! Miss always treats you as her trusted aide. How can you do this to her?" His voice was incomparably cold, easily making anyone shudder.
Layers of cold sweat appeared on Lei Sushan's forehead. He struggled to get up, but he was fiercely pressed to the floor by the young woman. He knew that he would definitely die if this continued. "Elder Lei, this is really a misunderstanding. I have nothing to do with this."
"Whether it is a misunderstanding or not, we will know it soon." Lei Jin did not waste his saliva with Lei Sushan further and pointed at the latter's head.
Lei Sushan shuddered violently as he shouted. "No! You can't do this to me!"
As his voice fell, his face suddenly became dull as an illusory human shape covered with a flash of golden lightning flew out of his body. This was called Divine Thunder Soul. Any disciple of the Divine Thunder Palace would possess the Divine Thunder Soul when they reached the Spirit Profound Realm. Similar to the Goddess of the Nine Heaven's soul that the disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect were practicing, the Divine Thunder Soul would increase their perception and aid in the training.
It could also be used as a substitute when the practitioner dies.. As long as the soul is alive, the practitioner would have a chance to construct their body and return to life.
