"W-we are going back to our sect."�
Qin Wentian's stuttering voice was heard by all in the chain bridge.
Ye Tian Yun frowned.
'Why are they heading out?' He couldn't ask this question.
However, Qin Wentian saw through his expression and understood what was going on in Ye Tian Yun's mind.
He said, "Our work here is done. We are heading back to our sect."
Ye Tian Yun's frown deepened, but he didn't say anything.
Giving a slight nod, Ye Tian Yun turned around and went back to his original place.
He didn't say anything for the rest of the trip and departed from the chain bridge as soon as it reached the First Peak.
Soon he had disappeared within the crowd of disciples.
On the other hand, both Qin Wentian and Shi Yi were staring at the spot where his back was last seen.
"Senior Brother, who was that guy?" Shi Yi asked in a low voice.
Qin Wentian slowly shook his head, "I have no idea... But, damn, I should have at least asked for his name."
Shi Yi remarked, "Are you sure? By the way, you were answering him. I don't think you could have asked him anything."
Qin Wentian squinted his eyes but didn't say anything.
And without a word, he headed towards the exit.
They had taken just a few days when someone called them from behind.
"Guests from the Heaven Oracle Sect."
Turning around towards the familiar voice, both of them found it to be the Elder who had 'helped' them when they had just arrived.
Cupping her fists, Shi Yi was the first to reply, "Greetings, Elder. Unfortunately, something came up in our sect, so we had no other choice but to halt our investigation and head back at a moment's notice."
At her left side, Qin Wentian nodded his head and added, "We will take our leave, Elder. Thank you for your cooperation."
Elder didn't say anything for some time and then asked, "What happened?"
"Hm?" Both of the Heaven Oracle Sect Disciples were confused by this question.
The Elder clarified, "What happened to you both? Why are your auras so unstable? Were you both attacked?"
Qin Wentian frowned while replying, "Elder, please don't jest. You saw that disciple, and I am pretty sure you also felt that killing intent. Yet you ask such questions to humiliate us."
The Elder's lips curved up from one corner as he said, "Qin Wentian, I was checking how humble you have become. Well, never mind that now, the new question is, why did you act as if you got scared from that attack?"
Qin Wentian laughed, "Elder, I may be quite arrogant, but there's one thing that I strictly follow, I don't try to hide my loss. I have always accepted my loss. Like, today, even though you might think I was acting, it was actually a genuine reaction."
The Elder was surprised, "What? Are you saying that disciple scared the daylights out of you?"
Qin Wentian shrugged, "Well, I don't know about his battle prowess, but his spirit sense is quite high, which in turn has given him a very dense Killing Intent."
The Elder scratched his chin and said, "Well, that's quite surprising."
Qin Wentian frowned, "You don't know about that guy?"
Elder shrugged and changed the topic, "Next time when you come, inform the town outside the Gracious Mountain Range. Then, things will be pretty easy."
Qin Wentian narrowed his eyes but didn't pursue the previous topic.
After nodding at the Elder, he turned around and headed for the exit with Shi Yi following right behind him.
The Elder smiled at the disappearing silhouettes of Qin Wentian and Shi Yi and then turned around.
His smile widened a bit more as he stared straight in a certain direction.
....
'Who!?'�
Ye Tian Yun was alarmed!
Immediately turning around, he began to look for the source of what he had just felt.
It was from a person.
Ye Tian Yun only felt that that person was staring at him. However, this stare was powerful - very powerful - enough to raise the hair on his hands.
'Who was that guy?' He couldn't help but think again.
Unfortunately, this only happened for an instant, and by the time Ye Tian Yun reacted, the feeling was long gone.
With no answers, Ye Tian Yun could only sigh and turn around towards his destination.
His destination? A restaurant.
He wanted to sit, eat something delicious, and think.
He had a lot of new worries in his mind.
Taking a long breath, Ye Tian Yun continued forward.
Soon he had reached an exquisitely built three-story restaurant.
Without hesitation, he stepped inside and looked around.
The inside was full of grandeur and was speaking volumes of being 'expensive'.
But money was the last thing Ye Tian Yun cared about in this world.
Taking an empty table near the window, Ye Tian Yun sat down.
He had his hands crossed, his body leaning back, and a slight frown on his forehead.
"Senior brother, what would you like to have?" A sweet voice sounded in his ears, and as he turned his head, Ye Tian Yun found a maid standing beside the table.
"Bring me your best plate." He waved his hand and resumed his thoughts.
The maid was surprised but didn't say anything and just left.
Even though the restaurant was very expensive, she didn't wish to look down on any Disciple and get her face slapped in front of everyone.�
Ye Tian Yun, unaware of the maid's thoughts, was currently thinking of what had happened on the chain bridge.
'Now we know why I had that bad feeling, sigh.'
'My luck is pretty bad... What should I do now?'
What Ye Tian Yun was thinking was none other than Qin Wentian's answer.
Those two were heading back to their sect.
This meant Ye Tian Yun's plan to kill and disguise as one of those two to head out of the sect was now invalid.
He couldn't leave the sect.
