Chapter 766 (2/2)

Zhenlei Duomo’s eyes turned cold, but she instantly restrained her aura and solemnly looked at Tang Xiu’s face, before she finally slowly said, “Answer me a question. I’ll leave Mist Source Island if your answer satisfies me.”

“Do ask!” Tang Xiu could see that she was unwilling, but did not dare to be his enemy.

“Despite being the representative of the Chinese authorities here, you are also a cultivator, so you know about the situation with the cultivators in China, right?” asked Zhenlei Duomo. “What I wanna ask you is about someone who is also a cultivator.”

“Who is it?” Tang Xiu was astounded.

“I’m not particularly clear about her situation,” Zhenlei Duomo frowned. “I only know that she is called Yan. She was like in her 20s two decades ago, so she should be around forty-plus years old now.”

A woman named Yan and age around forty-plus years old?

“Sorry, I have never heard of this person.” Tang Xiu shook his head.

There was a disappointed look in Zhenlei Duomo’s eyes as she replied with a bitter tone, “Then I can only look for other cultivators in China to ask around since you don’t know her. I’ll be frank with you. She’s the one who nurtured and imparted me a cultivation technique in the past, but I lost track about her many years ago.”

“I indeed have never heard about the person you mentioned, but I also know little about cultivators in China,” Tang Xiu slightly nodded. “Many cultivators choose to stay hidden, concealing their identities or becoming hermits, secluding themselves in famed mountains and large rivers. It’s always difficult to know of their existence unless they are willing to reveal themselves.”

Zhenlei Duomo did not want to spend more time facing Tang Xiu. Now that she could not get any lead about the one she wanted to find out, she immediately cupped her fists and said, “If so, then I’ll take my leave.”

Tang Xiu did not stop her and only looked at her back as she departed. Just as he prepared to call out to Ye Shisan and Zidan to leave the place, Zidan suddenly spoke to him in a toned down voice, “Boss, you forgot someone.”

“Huh? Who?” Tang Xiu wondered.

“She’s the founder of the Everlasting Feast Hall, the previous Big Boss,” said Zidan.

Yan’er?

Tang Xiu was stunned, and then his expression suddenly changed.

My little disciple looked to be in her 20s more than two decades ago, while there’s also a ‘Yan’ in her name. Is there really a connection between them?

“Catch up with her and call her back.”

Tang Xiu straightly sat cross-legged and took out a pen and paper from his interspatial ring, preparing to paint Gu Yan’er’s face. As though recalling something, he took out his mobile, opened the album gallery and picked her picture. A minute later, a vigilant Zhenglei Duomo had returned and stood in front of him.

“Is there something else you want?”

She was indeed wary of Tang Xiu, but not afraid of him. It was clear for her that she wouldn’t be a match for Tang Xiu, but he would not be able to prevent her from running away either.

Tang Xiu handed over his mobile and lightly said, “Take a look at this photo, is this the woman you’re looking for?”

Zhenlei Duomo took the mobile with a confused expression. When her eyes fell on the photo, her pupils shrank and her whole body shivered.

“Yes, it’s her!”

Her voice trembled. That face was vividly stored itself inside her mind and carved deep inside her heart. At that time, she was so peerlessly beautiful and unparalleled, looking so cool and elegant at the same. She never knew what holiness meant prior to meeting her, but finally realized what it meant the very moment she first saw her.

Tang Xiu touched his nose and secretly forced out a smile inside. He knew that Gu Yan’er had traveled all over the globe, but it never occurred to him that she would also leave such a legacy in Mexico.

“Why are you looking for her?” after the silence for a while, Tang Xiu asked slowly.

Reluctantly taking back her eyes from the photo, Zhenlei Duomo said with uncontrollable excitements, “She’s my benefactor, my kind teacher, and also my half mother! Back then, I made a mistake in front of her and shouldn’t have killed that bad man, so she went away and forbade me to come to China. But… I really miss her!”

Tang Xiu stared blankly for a moment after hearing her story. He could guess what concerned Gu Yan’er back then. She would never shut Zhenlei Duomo out only because she committed murder as she herself was someone from the Immortal World. Who in that realm did not have their hands stained with blood?

It was highly likely that the very cause was her body!
