Chapter 290 – The Probing of Bei Dou (2/2)
Upon seeing Lei Yu hesitate, the beady eyed middle-aged person stood up and smiled, “This is our Sovereign of the Four Illusory Court, the Grandmaster Bei Dou.”
Lei Yu pretended to be shocked and quickly cupped his hands, “Greetings to Senior Bei Dou.”
“No need to stand on ceremony.” After waving his hand, Bei Dou went over to the hall’s main seat and sat down. As for the beady eyed male, he walked over and stood by Bei Dou’s side and wasn’t as chatty as he was previously.
Since the beady eyes middle-aged man didn’t sit down, Lei Yu also stayed standing in the middle of the hall in a respectful manner.
“I heard that Sir came here from the Chaotic Star Sea?” Bei Dou asked rhetorically.
“That’s right.”
“Then can I ask if you’ve heard of a certain person?”
Lei Yu lightly frowned, unsure of the intention of this Bei Dou guy. But he still went along and asked: “I wonder which person Senior Bei Dou is referring to?”
The Ceng Hong Villa’s Ceng Hong!”
Even though he was shocked inside, Lei Yu’s face still looked very calm. After pretending to think for a moment, Lei Yu smiled “I have indeed heard of him. Ceng Hong Villa in the Chaotic Star Sea does have some fame, and there are very few people that would dare to cause trouble in his territory.”
“A few days ago, several friends came to me for help, and one of them mentioned he came from the Chaotic Star Sea, by the name of Big White. I wonder if Sir is familiar with that name?” After saying this, Bei Dou’s eyes seemed to narrow into slits as he watched for any changes in Lei Yu.
As if he had experienced this type of situation on numerous occasions, Lei Yu looked very calm. If he were to reveal his identity right now, it’s most likely he wouldn’t be able to escape from this place. “Senior Bei Dou, this junior came to the Immortal World alone without anyone accompanying him. And I don’t know this Big White person that Senior is referring to.”
Bei Dou felt a bit disappointed after not finding any abnormalities with Lei Yu. But he still showed a face full of smiles, “I just remembered I have some important matter to attend to so I’ll be taking my leave.” He then turned to the side, “Bei Sha, take good care of this little friend. Even if he’s not willing to join our Four Illusory Court, don’t make things too difficult for him.”
“Yes, senior brother.” That beady eyed middle-aged man call Bei Sha replied with a bow.
After watching Bei Dou leave, Lei Yu exhaled a breath of air. It looks like this Bei Dou really came to probe him. There should be very little people that come to this remote Four Illusory Court that’s right next to the Southern Wild Lands. And since he had told them he came from the Chaotic Star Sea, it would naturally raise their suspicions. It’s fortunate that he was able to muddle his way through this.
“My apologies, my senior brother is always busy and rushing about.”
“Don’t worry about it.” Lei Yu smiled, “If there’s no other matters, I won’t continue to disturb you and will be taking my leave.”
Bei Sha didn’t stop Lei Yu and sent him out of the tornado formation before turning around to leave. At this time, Lei Yu felt an energy fluctuation off into the distance but he wasn’t able to sense that person’s strength. As a last resort, Lei Yu hid his aura and quickly ran towards an area that looked like barren land.
Around the same time....
At the depths of the desert of the Southern Wild Lands, an ancient looking city was quite lively. And in the center of that city, within a castle...
