On the Desolate Star, even the wind had fallen silent.
At Li Yun's question, a strange look crossed Wen Tiancheng's face, but he quickly hid it behind an awkward smile.
"Lord Li... I wasn't looking for anything in particular."
"I only heard there might be Saint Emperor Ruins around here, so I came to try my luck and see if I could seize an opportunity."
"But I was too hopeful. I've been here almost two months and haven't found a thing."

"Is that so?"
