Chapter 13.2 (2/2)

“What are you thinking about?” he spoke in a serious but cool tone.

Lin Jiu raised her head and met his dark, penetrating gaze. Her heart jumped, but she feigned composure. “Didn’t you ask me to guess where the Wang Clan’s twenty-three Great Sword Immortals have gone?”

“Well?” Wei Liang’s gaze was fixed lazily on her.

Lin Jiu smiled. “The Dripstone Spiritual Milk is the Wang Clan’s foundation. If they can’t even be bothered to care about it, there can only be one reason, and that is that they’ve found the path to ascension.”

Wei Liang’s lips curved up. “And then?”

“What do you mean and then?” Lin Jiu looked up at him curiously.

Wei Liang’s eyes were deep. “Wang Han Tan didn’t tell you anything else?”

Only after a pause did Lin Jiu remember who Wang Han Tan was.

Wasn’t that the guy with Zheng Zi Yu’s underwear?

Wait…What was Wei Liang trying to imply? Why does he look like he’s jealous here?! Lin Jiu’s scalp tingled. It felt like she had just fallen into some damned branching plot line.

No way, no way! This is a female cultivation novel! Not some harem stud novel! No! She doesn’t need the male lead to feel jealous for her! Lin Jiu’s heart began to plead with a desire to live.

She forced herself to calm down before speaking. “Would I need someone to tell me something so simple? And what would that waste Wang Han Tan know? I’ve never even spoken to him before.”

Wei Liang narrowed his eyes, unsure whether he believed it or not. “First, we will look for clues in the Thousand Forks Pass. After we get the Spirit Gathering Pearl to help you form your core, we will head to Huang Chuan’s secret realm to…kill people and seize their treasures.”

“…”

Very good, very, well—very villainous.

Only, Wei Liang clearly had no idea of the secret realm’s cultivation restrictions. He wouldn’t be able to go in.

Lin Jiu couldn’t help but harbor bad thoughts and she sighed pretensively. “With you on the lead, it won’t be a problem to trample on a secret realm.”

“Heh. Of course,” Wei Liang chuckled.

He waved his wide sleeves, blocking the strong winds in the sky for Lin Jiu.
