Chapter 195: Zhou Meis Confusion (1/2)

'But how could he get his hands on the only immortal technique of the sect that costs over 50,000 contribution points, as an outer sect disciple?' Zhou Mei wondered with her eyes still wide open.

'Could the disciples be correct and he is actually a son of an elder?' she wondered. 'But even then getting your hands on the technique should be impossible, unless…' her eyes turned wide at her own speculations.

'Unless he is the sect master's own son. Besides, she is the only one that I know of that has fully learned the Flickering Shadows technique. Was she hiding him from us? Is he a secret love child with an outsider?'

Numerous thoughts ran across her mind trying to make sense of how an unknown Outer Sect disciple could become a core disciple directly, and how that person could have learned an immortal technique.

”Sister? Sister!” Zhou Mi called out trying to wake Zhou Mei out of her own thoughts.

”Yeah? What's wrong?” she asked.

”You seemed to be lost in your thought, Sister. What happened?” Zhou Mi asked.

Zhou Mei thought for a second and asked, ”You people know him right?”

”Him?” Zhou Mi cocked her head to the side in confusion. Only after realizing who she was talking about did she say, ”Oh you mean Brother Yu?”

”Yes, that disciple, the new Core formation disciple. You guys seem to know who he is. Do you know how he is close to the Sect Leader?” she asked.

”Close to the sect leader?” Zhou Mi was once again confused. ”I have no idea sister, I have only met him once and that was during Brother Kong's ascension too. In fact, Brother Kong knows more about him,” she said.

Zhou Mei turned her head towards Kong Yuhan and glared at him, waiting for him to answer. Kong Yuhan on the other hand started feeling uncomfortable under the intense gaze and said, ”I've only met him a couple of times. Due to him helping me a few times I call him a brother. That's just to the extent of what I know about him,” he said.

”Helped you a couple of times?” Zhou Mei got a little curious. ”Explain.”

Kong Yuhan proceeded to tell her how Alex had managed to help him by finding him the incredibly hard-to-find Dwarf Berry, being an Aid during the preparation of the Qi Improvement pill, and then helping him once more during the pill cauldron exploding accident.

”Explain more about the accident again,” Zhou Mei asked.

Kong Yuhan proceeded to explain in more accuracy how Alex had managed to throw away the cauldron just before it had exploded during his ascension and how he also blocked the incoming shockwaves and protected him.

”You didn't realize what had happened to your cauldron yourself?” she asked with a look of disdain. Kong Yuhan knew that she hated him for liking her sister, but didn't say anything because of her sister, so he didn't say anything except shake his head.

Zhou Mei then turned to her sister and asked, ”You were there too, right? You didn't do anything?”
