Chapter 98 (2/2)

The Emperor was really determined to investigate thoroughly!

Ning Xuemo secretly rolled her eyes. She had no other alternative but to make something up. “That immortal must have been using some illusionary technique, making me unable to recall him in detail. I can only vaguely remember that he was wearing a mask and white clothes while emanating a powerful cold aura. It felt like I was standing in a blizzard.”

Emperor Le Xuan’s face underwent subtle changes as he abruptly stood up. “The Ancestor?!”

“Ah?” Ning Xuemo stared wide-eyed.

‘Huh?! For real?’ Her random lies actually described the Ancestor perfectly?

‘It couldn’t be such a coincidence, right?’

Ever since she had arrived on this continent, she had noticed that the Ancestor’s name reverberated like thunder, since he held the most influence and ability on this continent and was akin to a god in the eyes of mortals. It was a pity that although she had been saved once by this person, she  actually had not gotten to see his appearance…

It seemed like those who had seen his true appearance were either non-existent or their numbers were pitifully small, making him truly mysterious.

In her previous world, Ning Xuemo had encountered countless people with demeanours of being experts above worldly matters, appearing utterly cold and aloof. When people spoke about them, they mostly conveyed irrelevant and baseless facts making the experts seem to be covered in mist. This made them impossible to be seen through, causing people to think that they were ethereal and mysterious. They also caused people to regard them as beings from the highest realm, with high and mighty auras…

Since there was widespread adoration toward them, people scrambled and tripped over themselves to become the first to serve them or be their disciples. Those pretentious fakes gave the impression of being miracle-makers and hence were worshipped as saviours of the world.

Ning Xuemo had purposely gotten close to a few of them several times and easily  ripped off their faades, exposing their true colours…

To sum up Ning Xuemo’s impression of those so-called great masters. They were frauds who like to put on airs and lead people by the nose! Their true abilities were rather lacking, but their conning techniques were definitely at the pinnacle. ‘Really full of bullshit!’

“You said he was wearing a white robe? Did it seem to be weaved out of clouds? Was that mask on his face different every time? Yet each time you feel a familiar aura…”
