“Your name is Mu Chen, right? Since you called Feifei a sister, you can call me Brother Lei.” Lei Zhenxiang said with a friendly smile. One could see that his voice was heartfelt.
He glanced at the two miserable figures and said softly. “Go back and recuperate well.”
The two middle-aged men suppressed the injuries and replied with serious expressions. “Yes, Palace Master.” Following that, their figures vanished from the spot.
Lei Zhenxiang turned to Yun Lintian and said. “I’m sorry for doing this. I just want to see why my sister values you so much. I understand it now… Honestly, you are the most talented youth I have ever seen so far.” He paused for a moment and patted his forehead. “Ah, my bad. Shall we find a good place to talk?”
Yun Lintian recovered from the initial shock and cupped his fists. “Greetings, Palace Master Lei.”
Lei Zhenxiang waved his hand and said with a smile. “Didn’t I tell you? You can call me Brother Lei.”
Yun Lintian hesitated briefly and said. “Brother Lei.”
Lei Zhenxiang nodded his head in satisfaction and made an inviting gesture. “Let’s go.”
Yun Lintian slowly followed Lei Zhenxiang out of the building while countless possibilities kept flashing in his mind. He didn’t know why Lei Zhenxiang came to the island by himself. Even if he wanted to compete for the Black Jade mine, he could leave this matter to his subordinates. Perhaps it was because he cared about Lei Feifei?
“Big Brother Yun. I can feel a trace of the White Tiger bloodline from him.” Linlin said while staring at Lei Zhenxiang curiously.
“What!? Are you sure?” Yun Lintian was stunned. According to the information he got, there was no connection between the Divine Thunder Palace and the White Tiger God. How could Lei Zhenxiang possess the White Tiger bloodline?
“Yes. But the bloodline in his body is extremely faint. I believe his bloodline comes from several rounds of mutations. It’s diluted to the point it can’t be called the White Tiger God bloodline.” Linlin explained.
“I see.” Yun Lintian looked at Lei Zhenxiang thoughtfully.
Soon, Lei Zhenxiang led Yun Lintian to a luxury private room in Zhou Qingyu’s building. He motioned Yun Lintian to sit down and asked. “Do you want tea?”
Yun Lintian sat down and politely replied. “Thank you.”
Lei Zhenxiang smiled and poured a cup of spirit tea for Yun Lintian. After taking a sip, he said. “You might wonder why I came here by myself. In fact, I’m not interested in the mysterious figure you have encountered. I simply worry about my sister. The Myriad Pill Palace has been getting more domineering in recent years. I’m afraid Feifei would face a calamity.”
Yun Lintian listened calmly. He still couldn’t figure out why Lei Zhenxiang came to him.
Lei Zhenxiang seemed to see through Yun Lintian’s thoughts. He put the teacup down and said. “When I heard Feifei has recruited a new guest elder at a high price, I was curious about you and secretly checked your background before coming here. According to the report, you seemed to appear out of nowhere a few weeks ago. I’m afraid that Feifei might be deceived. That’s why I have to see you by myself. Please understand this.”
Yun Lintian nodded and smiled faintly. “I understand… Then what is Brother Lei’s evaluation of me?”
“I think Feifei really got deceived.” Lei Zhenxiang paused for a moment and stared straight into Yun Lintian’s eyes. “Your true strength should be rivaled that of the early-level Monarchs. Am I correct?”
Yun Lintian’s eyes turned sharp. He didn’t shy away and stared back at Lei Zhenxiang before saying. “Brother Lei thought of me too highly. I merely borrowed the formation’s power to suppress your people earlier. If I truly encountered them on the outside, I won’t dare to fight them head-on.”
“Come on. No need to lie to me, Little Brother Mu.” Lei Zhenxiang chuckled. “Being low key is good. But as a practitioner, aren’t we supposed to go against heaven and destroy everything along the path? How could you do that without exposing your true self?… Trust me. There will be a day you can no longer stay low. At that time, you will understand what I said today.”
Yun Lintian’s brows perked up a little. He understood Lei Zhenxiang’s point, but he still believed in his own way. Naturally, he wouldn’t stay low-profile throughout his life. He just wanted to ensure that he had sufficient power to protect himself and everyone around him first before exposing himself.
“I heard that this plan was proposed by you. Don’t you think this will make you a target?” Lei Zhenxiang asked. Since Yun Lintian intended to stay low, why did he come up with this news leaking plan?
Yun Lintian smiled wryly. “Even if I didn’t come up with this plan, being a target is inevitable. Don’t forget that I was the last person who saw that scarlet man.”
Lei Zhenxiang touched his chin with a thoughtful expression. Before coming here, he had a rough understanding of the whole situation. He didn’t expect Yun Lintian to be the last person to see the mysterious figure. In this case, it was impossible for him to avoid becoming the center of attention.
“How about this?” Lei Zhenxiang suddenly said. “I will announce to the world that you have decided to join my palace. With this, no one dares to plot against you. Even Du Huanfeng has to think carefully.”
Yun Lintian was surprised to hear this. He and Lei Zhenxiang hadn’t come into contact for more than an hour, yet Lei Zhenxiang actually wanted to shelter him. It would be a lie if Yun Lintian wasn’t tempted.
However, he had to think about it carefully first. There were pros and cons of tying himself with the Divine Thunder Palace. Not to mention the conflict between him and Lei Jun. ．𝗻𝐞𝘁
Lei Zhenxiang could guess what Yun Lintian was thinking more or less. He said with a reassuring smile. “You don’t have to worry. You don’t have to take any responsibility for anything related to my palace. I just want to shelter you on Feifei’s behalf.”
