"Tower?"
Du Yunfeng’s eyes slightly hardened, but his facial expression remained unchanged: "What tower?"
Lin Chen spoke softly: "The Heavenly Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Tower, a magical treasure once used by Gu Yue."
Du Yunfeng was visibly trying to control his emotions, yet his gaze couldn’t help but change, and his voice carried an unconscious tinge of tension.
"Why suddenly ask about this?"
Lin Chen replied: "Senior hasn’t seen it?"
Du Yunfeng shook his head, the arc of his shake was sowhat wide, his deanor quite agitated: "I haven’t seen it, how could I have seen it."
Lin Chen frowned, his face showing disappointnt: "So it seems, only my family’s elder has seen it?"
Du Yunfeng’s eyes widened: "Pan Yue saw that... tower?"
Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, which is why we were sent to visit the senior, to see if the senior might have co across it."
Du Yunfeng shook his head: "I haven’t seen it! I don’t have any... relation with it either, even if she wanted to find soone, she shouldn’t be looking for ."
Lin Chen looked around, as if he was very concerned that their conversation might be overheard by others: "What my family’s elder is worried about isn’t the tower, but its master..."
"Gu Yue!"
Du Yunfeng’s face suddenly changed, his expression uncertain: "Impossible, he couldn’t possibly... reappear, could he?"
Hearing this, Lin Chen’s heart couldn’t help but thump wildly in his chest.
Gu Yue was actually not dead!
He was still alive!
If Gu Yue was dead as everyone said, completely and thoroughly, then Du Yunfeng wouldn’t have had such a reaction.
By saying this, if Du Yunfeng hesitated, that would an it’s indeed possible for Gu Yue to return to the human world, even though the probability is exceedingly small, there is still a chance.
At this point, one can speculate the fate of Gu Yue; either they captured him and handed him over to soone, secretly imprisoned him sowhere, or Gu Yue escaped, but his injuries were so severe that everyone believed he could not recover.
Although the latter has a certain probability, it wouldn’t be very high. After all, if Gu Yue had escaped back then, could so many people live in peace?
Aren’t they afraid that Gu Yue could return at any mont for revenge?
The reason Lin Chen asked was to judge from Du Yunfeng’s most instinctual reaction whether Gu Yue was still alive. Now that he knows the answer, he might as well continue probing.
Even if the probing is off the mark, it doesn’t matter, because he ca today without the intention of leaving things unresolved.
They must capture Du Yunfeng, but fearing the unexpected and oversights, he started with a verbal deceit; this way, even if they fail to capture Du Yunfeng, at least they would know so answers.
Lin Chen spoke softly, "The family elders are quite worried. They said that although it seems unlikely for Gu Yue to have an opportunity to co out again, the world is unpredictable, and there are no absolutes. What if there are so accidents that none of us can foresee? After all, so much ti has already passed..."
Du Yunfeng frowned and looked at Lin Chen, "You said he has seen that tower. Where did he see it? Who was with the tower?"
After a pause, Du Yunfeng’s expression grew more perplexed, "Such a crucial matter, and he doesn’t report it imdiately. Instead, he sends you to find . Why didn’t he co in person?"
Lin Chen was formulating his words when Du Yunfeng had already regained his composure from the initial shock, his gaze suddenly filled with caution and wariness, "This matter is of great significance and absolutely confidential. He didn’t co to find himself but sent a few juniors to inquire, and also disclosed the details of the matter to you?"
Lin Chen lied without hesitation, "He feels that the tower is secretly watching him and dares not leave. Moreover, after recalling the incident from back then, soone investigated the truth of the matter. At the ti, you and he both had different stories, and perhaps he slipped up, so the tower found him. It’s very likely that it has also found you, Senior. Therefore, he sent us to visit you, to see if Senior has been targeted."
Lin Chen’s excuse was flawless, yet Du Yunfeng’s suspicion was already aroused, his mind becoming clearer as he coldly observed the three in front of him.
"Did you bring an Image Recording Stone or a Jade Slip with you?"
Lin Chen answered, "The elder was worried about leaking the information, so he only gave us a brief verbal account and didn’t provide us with any Image Recording Stone or Jade Slip. This is to prevent it from falling into the hands of others."
Du Yunfeng said coldly, "Such an important issue, how is it possible that there’s not even a Jade Slip or an Image Recording Stone? From the beginning to end, your words have been evasive, clearly not inquiring but spying on my knowledge!"
"You likely have no relation to Pan Yue at all. Since you know about the discrepancies in our statents from before, you must be affiliated with Luo Qinghe. After all, he was the one who ca to investigate the matter back then."
"You’ve got quite the nerve. Speak, who are you really? What is your purpose? Who is the mastermind behind you?"
Lin Chen exhaled a breath, the cautious and careful temperant about him suddenly vanished, replaced by confidence and calm.
"Senior Lu, I am but a nobody, and even if I told you my na, you wouldn’t know it. We are here today simply to inquire about the truth of the past, and we ask Senior Lu to help us resolve our doubts."
Lu Yunfeng sneered, "You want to help you solve your mysteries. Do you have the strength for that?"
Lin Chen stepped back, positioning himself behind Chu Jiaxue and Nalan Wushuang, and smiled, "Knowing Senior Lu is a Quasi-Saint, we naturally ca prepared."
Chu Jiaxue and Nalan Wushuang no longer concealed their strength. Their Domain Force instantly unleashed, and a fearfully powerful aura surged forth in an instant.
Lu Yunfeng’s face changed abruptly, unease evident in his eyes.
Two Quasi-Saints!
Lu Yunfeng was a Quasi-Saint, but his strength was only modest among the Quasi-Saints. Now faced with two Quasi-Saints, regardless of their might, Lu Yunfeng knew he couldn’t withstand them.
What made Lu Yunfeng even more uneasy was the sudden ergence of these two Quasi-Saints. Who was behind the attempt against him?
Who was looking into the affair of Gu Yue from years past?
Could it be the Heavenly Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Tower?
They all knew that the Heavenly Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Tower housed an Artifact Spirit. At the last mont, Gu Yue had sent the tower away, vanishing without a trace. Now, with soone suddenly inquiring about Gu Yue’s matter, could it be the Artifact Spirit from within the tower?
Lu Yunfeng waved his sleeves, a magnificent spiritual power already lashing out towards Chu Jiaxue and Nalan Wushuang, while Lu Yunfeng himself transford into a flash of Golden Light, leaping backward to escape towards the distance.
To confound Chu Jiaxue and the others, Lu Yunfeng’s strike was with full force. Even if Chu Jiaxue and Nalan Wushuang were powerful, they could not break through it directly and had to defend first.
Chu Jiaxue and Nalan Wushuang protected Lin Chen, standing firm like rocks in the sea, as the furious power rushed over the three, instantly engulfing the entire Bai i Manor.
