Before Yun Lintian could answer, Lei Feifei jumped out first. “You haven’t given up yet!?”
Yun Lintian looked at Lei Feifei in “confusion” and asked. “What’s wrong, Sister Lei?”
Lei Feifei’s gaze fixated on Du Huanfeng while explaining. “Earlier, he tried to invade your soul and read your memory. If I hadn’t stopped him in time, you might have become an idiot by now.”
Yun Lintian’s brows creased together as he turned to look at Du Huanfeng. He asked gloomily. “Is it true, Brother Du? How could you do that to me?”
Du Huanfeng smiled relaxingly. “Don’t listen to her nonsense. I’m merely checking your condition. I heard that the enemy is proficient in soul art. That’s why I have to look at your soul in case there’s an injury on that place.”
Yun Lintian stared at Du Huanfeng for a while and said. “Alright. I will believe you once… As for further checking on me, there’s no need for that. I’m perfectly fine.”
Lei Feifei understood this was the best outcome. In fact, she didn’t want to crash with Du Huanfeng here. Although she might have a high chance of winning, she would definitely pay a huge price.
She said. “Since Elder Mu is fine, this matter should end here.”
Du Huanfeng took a deep look at Yun Lintian and nodded his head. “Fine. We should spread out and search for a clue.”
The tension in the air quickly dispersed as everyone gradually lowered their stance. Yun Lintian gently hugged Linlin and walked to the corner, pretending to look at the formation.
All of a sudden, there was an exclaim coming from Song Cang, who was walking into the secret passage under the altar. Everyone quickly left their position and followed Song Cang into the passage. 𝐞𝗻𝐨𝘃𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝗺
When they arrived at the spacious room, they could perceive a trace of soul energy that somehow could nourish their soul. A wild idea immediately appeared on everyone’s mind. There must be a peerless treasure here!
“This feeling…” Du Huanfeng tilted his head slightly while scanning the surroundings with his Spiritual Sense. The feeling he had right now reminded him of something, but he couldn’t pinpoint out.
“It’s like a soul pond.” Du San said. There was a small soul pond within the Myriad Pill Palace. That was why he could recognize it.
“Yes.” Du Huanfeng immediately remembered. He stared at the empty area in front of him in doubt. If there was a soul pond here, then where was it now?
The prime suspect was naturally Yun Lintian, but Du Huanfeng refused to believe that he had the ability to take the soul pond away. There was obviously something tricky here.
“Have you seen this place before?” Du Huanfeng asked Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian shook his head with a frown. “No. But I can see that there should be something that can nourish one’s soul here. Because of this thing, the scarlet man can last in this place for who knows how many years.”
“Oh? Why did you think like that?” Du Huanfeng asked interestingly. Yun Lintian had lived on the mountain all his life. How could he know about this?
Yun Lintian smiled and took the Twin Souls Flower out. “I have studied medicine with my master since I was young. The aura in this place is similar to this Twin Souls Flower. So, I believe there’s a soul-related treasure here. Didn’t this Elder Du just say it’s a soul pond?”
Du Huanfeng couldn’t refute Yun Lintian’s words. There was no flaw at all. He looked around for a while and could only give up.
“What if that person has escaped without us knowing?” While everyone was looking for a clue, Qin Wuji suddenly said. “With his power, I don’t think anyone here could detect him if he wants to go.”
“That’s true.” Lei Feifei agreed.
“We should go back first.” Zhou Qingyu suddenly said. She looked at An Lang and An Hua. “Seal the entrance. No one allows entering this place.”
“Understood.” An Hua and An Lang replied in unison.
Du Huanfeng scanned the place one last time and left with his people. He didn’t forget to invite Yun Lintian for a tea, but he was rejected by the latter.
“You should leave.” Lei Feifei stared at Ji Zhiyin coldly.
,m Ji Zhiyin trembled violently. She opened her mount, trying to say something, but was interrupted by Lei Feifei. “Throughout the years, I always treat you like a younger sister, but you’ve disappointed me this time. You are blinded by unnecessary jealousy and end up betraying my trust. You’ve also put everyone in danger. I cannot forgive you.”
Ji Zhiyin’s whole body froze as if her soul had left her body. Her face was pale as a white sheet, filling with despair. She deeply regretted it now. Yun Lintian obviously had nothing to do with Lei Feifei. Why did she so jealous of him?
Yun Lintian was puzzled and inquired about this from Qin Wuji. After listening to him, he immediately understood everything. It turned out this Ji Zhiyin was secretly in love with Lei Feifei, but it was obviously impossible for them. His appearance caused dissatisfaction to her as she thought Lei Feifei was caring about him too much.
Yun Lintian thought for a moment and said. “Sister Lei, can you let me say something?”
Lei Feifei glanced at him and didn’t say anything, indicating he could say as much as he wanted.
Yun Lintian smiled and turned to Ji Zhiyin. “Elder Ji, I understand your feeling, but I can tell you that there’s nothing between Sister Lei and me. She is merely appreciating my talent.”
Ji Zhiyin remained silent while looking at Yun Lintian.
“You might not know this, but Brother Su was the one who introduced me to Sister Lei. I was recruited into the group at a high price. I know you might think that I’m not worth the price. That’s your opinion. I respect that. However, have you ever thought about why Sister Lei had to recruit me in the first place?” Yun Lintian said further.
