1397 Your Life Experience (2/2)

He obviously knew why Xuanyuan Wanrong had this feeling—It was because of the two souls in the Firestorm Wheels. Those were the souls of her parents.

But Xu Que still didn't dare to inform her of the truth.

No one knew whether or not she was aware of what her parents suffered, and no one knew whether or not he would suffer if she learned that he used her parents' souls as a bodyguard.

This was why Xu Que chose to hide this for now, and after they left the Celestial Burial Valley, he would give back the two souls to Xuanyuan Wanrong and turn around to escape. At that moment, those matters weren't related to him any longer.

”I have said that it's a strange aura, and it isn't related to your face.” Xuanyuan Wanrong shook her head while still looking at Xu Que.

If Xu Que wasn't nominally her Cultivation Partner, she would have already taken him down to observe him carefully.

Buttface acted as if he was observing the sky's changes before yelling at Xu Que, ”Ah! Brother Que, there are only a few hours left until daybreak. We must seize the moment and go back to make preparations.”

He wasn't helping Xu Que out of the goodness of his heart; he was afraid that he would be beaten after this affair was exposed. After all, it was he who had instigated Xu Que to bring the two souls with them and show off everywhere. This was why he was an accomplice.

”Ah, I have forgotten our proper business. We must quickly set off.”

Xu Que promptly responded to Buttface's words and looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong, saying, ”What is so strong about a strange aura? You've written my name in the Heavenly Book of Taiyi, and it's obvious that our destinies are connected. Some strange matters will obviously occur.”

After he spoke, he beckoned Buttface. This human and dog coordinated well, and they flew into the air and rushed toward the former mountain range.

Xuanyuan Wanrong stood in the same place and looked in confusion at Xu Que's backside. She muttered in a soft voice, ”His body has a faint Bloodline Aura... Is he a descendant of my Xuanyuan Clan?”

After Xuanyuan Wanrong spoke, her body shivered. ”I have written his name in the Heavenly Book of Taiyi, and we have become Cultivation Partners, so if he's my clan's descendant, won't I have...”

The realization was troublesome, and Xuanyuan Wanrong's expression turned grave and flustered.

By now, Xu Que and Buttface had already made it back to the former mountain range, and they looked at each other with fright apparent on their faces.

”F*ck! Lad, did she discover it already?” Buttface was frightened, and he looked repeatedly behind him to see if Xuanyuan Wanrong was chasing after them.

”You can set your mind at ease. I have a good understanding of her, and I'm confident she doesn't know. We wouldn't have managed to get back here so easily if she had figured it out,” Xu Que said calmly with a smile.

If someone with Xuanyuan Wanrong's character discovered that he had her parents' souls, she would have attacked and taken them by force.

Buttface heaved a sigh of relief and then urged Xu Que by saying, ”Fine. Then let's stop waiting and get inside so she won't discover any peculiarities once she comes back in a bit.”

”That's reasonable!” Xu Que nodded in agreement with Buttface.

He hoped that another incident wouldn't occur before he managed to seize the imminent fortune, but just as he was about to enter the palace, a strong wind blew in from behind.

With a swoosh, a silhouette appeared in front of him. It was Xuanyuan Wanrong.

She looked at Xu Que attentively with a grave look and spoke in a deep voice. ”I must discuss a certain matter with you related to your past history.”
