As soon as they heard this voice, Bi Qing couldn’t help knitting her brows.
She and the other cloaked figures released their spiritual senses to see if they could find the owner of the voice, but they couldn’t find a single thing.
The only thing that they could find was the flow of spiritual energy coming from this talisman on the back of this sparrow spirit beast.
While they didn’t recognize what this talisman was, they knew that it was where the voice was coming from. At the same time, they could also feel that there was something that was watching them.
They didn’t know if it came from the talisman or from something else, but they were certain that there was someone’s gaze on them.
After a long period of silence, Bi Qing said, “What do you want?”
She didn’t question any of this and went right into the main topic.
After a pause, there was a laugh that suddenly came from the talisman, which continued for a while.
The way that the laugh rang out, it was almost as if they were genuinely amused by Bi Qing’s question.
But no one dared to let their guard down.
Even if the cloaked figures were in the Golden Core Realm, they didn’t dare underestimate someone who had prepared a place like this Minor World for them.
After a long time, the laugh finally died out and there was silence that followed once again.
The voice then said, “It doesn’t involve you. You were just people that had been pulled into this place by accident and you have no greed, so you’re free to leave once everything is settled. That is why I implore you not to meddle any more than you already have.”
Bi Qing knitted her brows even more when she heard this.
She could hear the sincere tone in the voice of this mysterious person, it was as if they were actually pleading with them not to interfere.
She realized that this person should be afraid of them…or rather afraid of the Golden Core Realm Cultivators with her. So that meant that this person wasn’t that strong in the first place even though they had this Minor Realm.
It was just too bad that there was something wrong with what she said.
She had no greed…that wasn’t true.
She had greed, but there was something special that she wanted…something that she could only get from the person who owned this Minor World or was close to the person who owned this Minor World.
She didn’t know how many people were involved in this scheme, but she was certain that the person that she was tracking was here.
So she couldn’t back down even if she wanted to.
After all, she had received a mission from the people behind her and she couldn’t fail that mission.
Seeing the look on Bi Qing’s face, the person controlling the talisman knew that it was impossible to convince Bi Qing to back down.
So with a sigh, that person said, “Can you at least tell me what you want?”
Bi Qing looked up at the talisman on the back of the sparrow spirit beast with a dead look on her face.
There was another sigh that came from that person before they said, “Do you at least know where those two are?”
This person didn’t say who they were referring to, but Bi Qing immediately knew who they were referring to. After all, there was only a single group of two that would be worthy of this kind of attention.
She didn’t turn her head, but she looked at Lin Fan out of the corner of her eyes.
As soon as the sparrow had appeared, Lin Fan had immediately used his illusion spell to hide himself. He had been silently listening to everything, but he could feel the squeezing feeling coming from Mu Bao Bao’s hand.
It was clear that she recognized this voice…
Seeing that Lin Fan didn’t react at all, Bi Qing shook her head and said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
The voice didn’t respond to this question and instead said, “If you tell me where those two are, I’ll send them out right away.”
Bi Qing couldn’t help knitting her brows slightly when she heard this.
She could hear the exhaustion in the voice, as if they were tired of this. But at the same time, she could hear the sincerity in that voice.
Whoever that person was, it seemed like they really wanted to help Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao…
But why?
What was special about the two of them that this person wanted to help them?
Or rather, what kind of connection did the two of them have with this person?
Bi Qing had assumed that they were here because there was something that they wanted here just like her, but now…she was starting to think that it was something completely different.
For some reason though, there was a part of her that wanted to tell this voice where Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao were.
This was the small part of her that found Lin Fan interesting…much more interesting than anyone that she had met before. Because of this, she didn’t want him to be hurt, even though she didn’t know anything about him.
But there was a larger part that knew that this was not the time to send them out.
Lin Fan had shown all kinds of strange abilities and provided her with all kinds of information.
The logical part of her knew that she still needed him for what was going to come.
So she shook her head again and said, “I have no idea who you are talking about.”
There was a long silence that lingered in the air, with both sides seemingly staring each other down.
Finally, there was a sigh that came from the talisman on the sparrow spirit beast.
There was another talisman that was thrown down to where Bi Qing was standing and floated there in the air in front of her.
Even though the talisman was just floating there in the air in front of her, Bi Qing didn’t reach her hand out to take it. She just narrowed her eyes to look at the talisman floating there, as if she was trying to figure out what it was.
Seeing this, the voice said, “It’s a map. If you inject your spiritual energy into it, a map will appear. It will lead you to where I am…along with the thing that you most likely want.”
Bi Qing narrowed her eyes even more as she looked at this talisman.
It was clear that she didn’t trust it, but in the end, she still picked it up.
Seeing that Bi Qing took it, the voice didn’t wait any longer before turning the sparrow spirit beast to leave.
As she left, she didn’t forget to say, “I only want my revenge on certain people and you are not included on that list. If you do not interfere, you will be able to escape this place without any harm.”
Then without waiting for Bi Qing to say anything, the sparrow spirit beast flew off.
All of the cloaked figures turned to look at Bi Qing, but she just stared into the air with the same narrowed eyes as if she was thinking something.
There was a long silence before she turned to look at Lin Fan.
The look in her eyes made it clear what she was thinking as she looked at him.
The cloaked figures were confused about what Bi Qing was looking at at first, but then they quickly moved to surround the area that she was looking at. They immediately surrounded Lin Fan to make sure that he couldn’t escape.
Lin Fan revealed a bitter smile under his cloak, but he released the illusion spell in the end.
Bi Qing just looked at him without saying a thing, but at the same time, the cloaked figures around him started putting pressure on him.
Lin Fan raised his hands and gave a shrug before saying, “I have no idea what that was about.”
After he said this, he just calmly stood there while suffering from Bi Qing’s scrutiny.
As she glared at him, the cloaked figures around him even took a step closer and put even more pressure on him.
But he didn’t crumple under that pressure as he faced Bi Qing’s gaze.
Bi Qing finally raised her hand and all of the cloaked figures moved back.
She looked right at Lin Fan and asked, “Do you have any ill intentions towards us.”
As soon as she said this, all of the cloaked figures looked at Lin Fan again and put pressure on him from afar.
This time, it was clear that they were prepared to attack him at any time if they didn’t like the answer that he gave them.
Lin Fan looked right back at Bi Qing and then calmly said, “Not right now.”
He already knew what answer Bi Qing was expecting, so he gave it to her.𝒪𝓋𝒍xt.𝔠𝗈𝑚
Bi Qing looked at Lin Fan for a bit longer before giving a nod to accept his answer.
The way that the cloaked figures didn’t release the pressure they put on Lin Fan made it clear that they didn’t accept this answer, but Bi Qing raised her hand again and they had no choice but to take back their pressure.
Though they way that they sneaked looks at Lin Fan meant that they still didn’t trust him.
Lin Fan just revealed a bitter smile, but he didn’t say anything.
He knew that this was just the way that it would be.
