“You know a lot.” Huoyun Yurou took a deep look at Yun Lintian. Before this, she didn’t want to ask about his background, but the more he revealed information, the more curious she became.
Yun Lintian had thought about revealing his identity to her long ago, and he believed this was the appropriate time. Thus, he said. “Senior, can I ask how did you know Lin Zixuan?”
Huoyun Yurou had a strange expression as she answered. “Several decades ago, I secretly left the Ancestral Land to find some resources, and because I couldn’t stay on the Western Continent, the Endless Sea was the only choice for me.”
“I traveled toward the north until arriving at an island called Sky Blue Paradise. I recalled that this island is one of the most prosperous islands in the Endless Sea, so I decided to visit it.” .𝗰𝗼𝗺
A look of embarrassment appeared on Huoyun Yurou’s face as she continued. “As you know, I had no money with me. The only thing I could do was rob people. However, my targets were those slave merchants.”
“One day, I found a pirate ship full of human slaves. I chose it as a target. Later, I met a powerful female human among the slaves.” She paused for a moment and said. “That woman is Lin Zixuan.”
Listening to this, Yun Lintian frowned slightly as he wondered how could his master get enslaved? With her profound strength back then, no one in the Monarch Profound Realm could be her opponent.
Huoyun Yurou seemed to see through Yun Lintian’s doubt. She explained. “She got enslaved voluntarily in order to find the pirate’s base. And my action interrupted her plan.”
“I see.” Yun Lintian was surprised slightly. He suddenly remembered that Lin Zixuan seemed to travel a lot in the past. That was why she could meet his eldest senior sister, Jiang Yingyue.
“Lin Zixuan is really powerful. I don’t know how she did it, but she could see my true identity with a glance. What surprised me was that she had no hostility toward me, a half profound beast.” A trace of admiration appeared in Huoyun Yurou’s eyes. “After knowing the ins and outs, I decided to help her locate the pirate’s base, and we finally rescued those enslaved people.”
“Upon knowing my situation, she gave all the pirates’ treasures to me, and we stayed together for a period.” Huoyun Yurou said. “Although the time is short, we can be considered friends.”
She looked at Yun Lintian and asked. “What’s your relationship with her?”
Yun Lintian smiled and replied honestly. “She’s my master.”
Huoyun Yurou was astonished upon hearing this. Fate was truly wonderful. She had never thought that her good friend’s disciple would become the one who helped her and her clan.
“How’s she now?” Huoyun Yurou asked.
“She’s currently recovering her strength.” Yun Lintian replied.
“Recovering? What happened to her? With her strength, unless the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm’s expert, I don’t think anyone can hurt her.” Huoyun Yurou frowned.
“It’s a long story, Senior. In short, the one who hurt her was the current Azure Palace Master.” Yun Lintian said.
A cold glint flashed through Huoyun Yurou’s eyes. “Which one? Weilan Tianjun?”
“Yes, him.” Yun Lintian was curious. There seemed to be a past between her and the Azure Palace from her expression.
“So it’s that bastard’s son. Heh, I’m not surprised by his behavior.” Huoyun Yurou laughed coldly.
She changed the topic. “Anyway, she didn’t stop you from coming here?”
A wry smile appeared on Yun Lintian’s face. “Actually, she might even know that I am still alive.”
“What do you mean?” Huoyun Yurou was puzzled.
“Because I was on the Poison Valley’s killing list. I had to fake my death in order to leave the Northern Continent. Except for Principal Tian, no one knew that I was still alive.” Yun Lintian explained. “However, I believe Master would figure it out soon.”
“So that’s the case.” Huoyun Yurou nodded gently. “Are you looking for the Tree of Life to help her?”
Yun Lintian nodded and then shook his head. “It’s one of the reasons.”
Seeing Yun Lintian didn’t want to reveal it, Huoyun Yurou didn’t ask further. “Thank you for telling me this.”
“Please forgive me, Senior. I had to be cautious. That’s why I didn’t reveal my identity to you at first.” Yun Lintian smiled apologetically.
Huoyun Yurou waved her hand. “No need to say this. You did the right thing. Being cautious is good. You will live longer with it.”
Yun Lintian smiled faintly and said nothing more.
“Alright, let’s take a rest first. You will need to participate in the convention in two days.” Huoyun Yurou said softly.
“Yes, Senior.” Yun Lintian didn’t stay further. He beckoned Mu Qiuxue, and they walked into his bedroom together.
Watching his back, Huoyun Yurou sighed softly. “I didn’t expect to meet my friend’s disciple here. Fate is really unpredictable.”
“Indeed.” Huoyun Zhu nodded in agreement.

“What did you say? Mu Qiuxue appeared here?” In a certain place, Du Huanfeng asked his subordinate in surprise.
“Yes. Please take a look at this, Young Master.” The subordinate handed a profound imaginary stone to Du Huanfeng.
Du Huanfeng hurriedly activated it, and a scene inside the Nine Profound Pavilion appeared before him. His eyes were immediately glued to the beautiful figure standing on the platform.
“It’s really her.” Du Huanfeng’s eyes flashed with an unconcealable desire.
On the side, Du San suddenly said. “Wouldn’t this mean that Mu Chen has been lying for the whole time?”
Du Huanfeng put the stone away and sneered. “I knew it. There’s something wrong with him. That woman, Yiyi, must be deceived by his acting.” He turned to look at his subordinate and asked. “Have you found Mu Chen?”
The subordinate lowered his head. “Not yet, Young Master. He disappeared like a ghost after arriving here.”
“Trash!” Du Huanfeng cursed. He waved his hand impatiently. “Get out!”
“Yes, Young Master.” The subordinate hurriedly left as if his life was on the line.
“Mu Chen… Don’t let me see you again. Otherwise….Hmph!” Du Huanfeng’s face filled with hatred. This was the first time in his life that he got deceived by a mere Heaven Profound Realm trash. He had to kill Yun Lintian in order to clean this shame.
