Chapter 539 – Doubt
Before pretending to get drunk, Yun Lintian told Linlin to find a place to hide first as he had something to do. With her ability, Yun Lintian did not worry much. However, he did not expect she would come back at this critical moment and even started sniffing around.
"Cough! It's nothing, Linlin. Big brother drank too much earlier." Yun Lintian coughed embarrassingly while secretly circulating profound energy to get rid of the smell.
Zhou Qingyu's gaze was fixated on Linlin from the beginning she had appeared until now. She could feel this "snow tiger" was not simple as she seemed to be, but she couldn't think of anything for the time being.
Zhou Qingyu retracted her gaze and said. "You should clean yourself first. I'll wait for you in the private room at the end of the hallway." Following that, she turned around and left the room.
Yun Lintian frowned slightly, as he had no idea why Zhou Qingyu and Lei Feifei came to him at this moment. He put this matter aside and told Linlin. "Linlin, big brother will take a bath first. Do you want to go with me?"
"Mhm!" Linlin replied happily and walked into the bathroom with Yun Lintian. They would occasionally take a bath together when they had time. Hence, there was no shyness between them.
After cleaning himself up, Yun Lintian changed into a new dress and went to the appointed private room.
When he entered the room, he saw Zhou Qingyu and Lei Feifei sitting around a circular table with various dishes.
"Sit down." Zhou Qingyu glanced at Yun Lintian and said calmly. Meanwhile, Lei Feifei did not dare to look directly at Yun Lintian's face, as she felt ashamed. The earlier scene was still lingering in her mind. It was impossible to get rid of it in a short time.
Compared to her, Yun Lintian's skin was thicker. Although he was slightly embarrassed being seen by them, it didn't make him shy away in the slightest. After all, it was a woman that saw him, not a man.
Yun Lintian sat down and placed Linlin on his lap. He looked at Lei Feifei and then Zhou Qingyu before asking. "May I know what's the business Senior have with me?"
"There's nothing particularly. I just want to see a guest elder that my best friend has recruited recently." Zhou Qingyu took a sip of tea and continued. "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Zhou Qingyu, the master of this island."
Yun Lintian politely replied. "My name is Mu Chen."
Zhou Qingyu smiled faintly and asked. "Don't you feel it's inappropriate to use a fake name in front of me?"
Yun Lintian's facial expression did not change in the slightest as he responded. "It is indeed inappropriate. However, please forgive me, Senior Zhou. I cannot tell you my real name… Of course, if Senior Zhou wants to investigate me. I have no problem with that."
While he was speaking this, his mind spun rapidly. Since Zhou Qingyu could guess this, Lei Feifei could also figure out that he wasn't Mu Qiuxue's disciple. He wasn't sure about Lei Feifei's reaction about this, but judging from her look. She didn't seem to have the intention of exposing him… So, she wanted to befriend him?
Zhou Qingyu stared straight into Yun Lintian's eyes for a moment and said. "You are so confident?"
Yun Lintian laughed slightly. "I understand that there's no absolute in this world. It's a matter of time before Senior Zhou and Leader Lei find out about my identity. However, even so, I am certainly confident."
Hearing this, Zhou Qingyu didn't insist on this topic further. She asked directly. "What's your purpose in joining the Black Wing?"
Yun Lintian put the teacup down and replied. "Senior Zhou should be aware that I have no intention of joining the Black Wing group in the first place. If it wasn't because of Brother Su, I wouldn't accept Leader Lei's offer in the first place. So, to ask me this question, isn't it too strange?"
He said further. "As for the purpose of going to the Western Continent. I don't mind telling you two. I am looking for something that can extend one's lifespan."
Zhou Qingyu and Lei Feifei glanced at each other in surprise.
Lei Feifei thought for a moment and asked. "You are approaching Du Huanfeng because of this?"
Yun Lintian nodded admittedly. "This is the first time I visited the Western Continent. I don't have much information about that place. All I know is that the place is full of chaos. With Du Huanfeng around, I can at least have a free bodyguard while learning about the situation."
"You're playing with fire. Do you think your false identity can deceive him forever? The interaction time between you and him is too short. You have no idea how cunning he is." Zhou Qingyu frowned.
Yun Lintian smiled and said. "Thank you for your concern, Senior Zhou. Since I dare to do this, I naturally have my own idea."
Zhou Qingyu stared at Yun Lintian for a long time before sighing softly. "Fine. I wish you good luck then."
Yun Lintian only gave a smile without saying anything.
Lei Feifei seemed to have something on her mind. She kept hesitating a few times as she glanced at Linlin. A while later, she took a deep breath and asked. "Are you coming from the Northern Continent?"
Yun Lintian's brows raised slightly. Looked like Lei Feifei could connect the dot between Linlin and the Thunder Valley. However, it didn't matter to him anymore. Sooner or later, Linlin's identity would be exposed, anyway.
Meanwhile, Zhou Qingyu looked at her best friend in doubt. How could Lei Feifei come up with this?
Seeing Yun Lintian did not say anything, Lei Feifei said further. "In the Northern Continent, there was a place called Thunder Valley. It had existed for thousands of years until several months ago." She glanced at Linlin while clenching her fists, trying to suppress the fear in her heart, and continued. "The rumor said there's a legendary mythical beast resides in that place…."
As Lei Feifei spoke to this point, Zhou Qingyu subconsciously looked at Linlin, who was eating grilled meat heartily, in shock… Don't tell me…
