Lei Feifei and Zhou Qingyu snickered as they watched Yun Lintian. However, they had to admit this eighteen-year-old boy was truly a master of acting. Despite facing an unexpected situation, he could still be calm and composed. There was no slight change in his expression at all.
Yun Lintian smiled and replied. “I’m not sure myself. Master has never talked about her past. When I was picked up by her, she had already mastered the formation art.”
Perhaps it was because Lei Zhenxiang was overwhelmed with guilt for not saving Mu Qiuxue timely in the past. He didn’t doubt Yun Lintian’s words in the slightest. He hurriedly asked. “Where’s your master now? Is she living well?”
Yun Lintian glanced at Lei Feifei, Lei Jin, and Zhou Qingyu briefly, as if he was trying to warn them not to expose his lie before saying. “My master is currently living on Heavenly Cloud Mountain.”
As his words came out, the faces of Lei Feifei, Lei Jin, and Zhou Qingyu couldn’t help twitching slightly. They obviously knew about Heavenly Cloud Mountain and felt Yun Lintian’s lie was so easy to get exposed.
Heavenly Cloud Mountain was well-known as one of the four mysterious zones on the Central Continent. Throughout thousands of years of history, no one had ever entered that place before. How could Yun Lintian dare to say this?
However, Lei Zhenxiang’s words immediately made everyone stunned. “So that’s the case. I just got the report a few days ago. The barrier around Heavenly Cloud Mountain is loosening. It’s estimated to be completely disappeared in a year… To think that Qiuxue has escaped to that place. It seems heaven did not abandon her.”
Everyone except Lei Zhenxiang was speechless as they glanced at each other with incredulity. Wouldn’t this be a perfect cover-up for Yun Lintian?
Lei Feifei, Zhou Qingyu, and Lei Jin looked at Yun Lintian weirdly. They began to doubt whether Yun Lintian knew about this beforehand.
The one who shocked the most was naturally Yun Lintian. It was too confident, right? He felt the situation was getting more out of control. It was as the old saying goes, if you lied once, you have to come up with another thousand lies.
Lei Zhenxiang took Yun Lintian’s startling appearance as he was worried about his master. He quickly said. “You should contact her and tell her to leave the place as soon as possible. I will try my best to send her to the Northern Continent. She should be safe over there.”
Yun Lintian’s lips twitched slightly… Contact what? Everything was a lie!
He thought for a moment and said with a frown. “I cannot contact Master right now. I’m afraid it will take several months before I can go back.”
Lei Zhenxiang’s eyebrows perked up as he asked. “What happened? Did she encounter a difficult situation?”
Yun Lintian put up his powerful acting. He let out a long sigh. “Master has an old, severe wound that affects her vitality. She doesn’t have much time left now. I came out this time not only experiencing the world but also looking for a precious treasure that can extend one’s lifespan… I heard the rumors about Tree of Life and decided to go to the Western Continent.”
The frown between Lei Zhenxiang’s brows grew deeper. Mu Qiuxue’s situation was worse than he had imagined. He couldn’t help but get angry. This Du Huanfeng was too hateful. If he hadn’t gone into seclusion back then, Mu Qiuxue wouldn’t have ended up like this.
“Unfortunately, my Divine Thunder Palace doesn’t have such a treasure.” Lei Zhenxiang sighed helplessly.
In this world, a treasure that could extend one’s lifespan was scarce. It could be said it was the most sought-after treasure. After all, those old monsters whose lifespan was about to end would do everything they could to get a hand on it. This also included the ancestors of the Divine Thunder Palace. It was impossible for Lei Zhenxiang to have it.
Yun Lintian smiled faintly. “I have to thank Brother Lei on my master’s behalf. It’s fine. I’ll try my luck on the Western Continent.”
“I’ll send someone to go with you.” Lei Zhenxiang suddenly said.
Yun Lintian shook his head. “Thank you for your concern, Brother Lei. I prefer to act alone more. As you can see, I have the ability to take care of myself.” 𝒃𝒆𝙣𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎
Lei Zhenxiang took a deep look at Yun Lintian and went silent for a moment before saying. “Fine.” He then took a circular golden jade out and placed it before Yun Lintian. “This is my personal sound transmission jade. You can contact me directly if you encounter a problem that you can’t deal with.”
Lei Feifei and Lei Jin were surprised upon seeing this scene. In their memories, Lei Zhenxiang rarely gave anyone his personal sound transmission jade unless that person was highly valued by him. They had to admit Yun Lintian’s lie had played a significant role here. It was obviously because of Mu Qiuxue’s name.
They wondered what would happen if Lei Zhenxiang knew the truth later.
Yun Lintian hesitated briefly, as he was afraid Lei Zhenxiang would kill him after knowing the truth. However, he still took it in the end. “Thank you, Brother Lei.”
Lei Zhenxiang waved his hand dismissively. “Stop thanking me already. Since you called me Brother Lei, you can be considered my Lei Zhenxiang’s little brother. Not to mention you are Qiuxue’s disciple. Saying these gratitude words makes me feel like we are too distant.”
“Alright.” Yun Lintian nodded gently.
Lei Zhenxiang was about to say something. He suddenly frowned, and his expression turned cold immediately afterward.
“What happened?” Lei Feifei noticed this and hurriedly asked.
Lei Zhenxiang sighed softly. “As expected from Du Huanfeng. He’s really cautious.” He paused for a moment, looking at everyone, and said further. “He had contacted Lei Baiyu to ask my whereabouts. I’m afraid he has already guessed that I am here. Looks like Little Brother Mu’s plan is not working now.”
Hearing this, Lei Feifei laughed coldly. “Hehe. This bastard Lei Baiyu is truly shameless.”
Lei Zhenxiang had no comment on this matter. He was well aware of Lei Baiyu’s cunningness. It was normal for him to do this.
He looked at Yun Lintian and asked. “What’s your thought?”
