"Ye Si certainly knew how to seize the moment, didn't he?"
Li Yun was almost certain that something was wrong with Ye Si.
Ye Si had gone to such lengths to get close to him. He had to have an ulterior motive.
As soon as that thought struck him,
Li Yun activated the Black Heaven Tracing Technique and began probing Ye Si through the courtyard gate.
But he soon confirmed that Ye Si was not one of Great Black Heaven's people. There was no trace of Great Black Heaven's aura on him.
If not Great Black Heaven, could he be a Blood God Cult follower?
Li Yun activated the Blood God Tracing Technique as well.
"Huh..."
"Not one of them either?"
Li Yun pushed the Blood God Tracing Technique almost to its limit, yet still detected no aura or rhythm on Ye Si connected to the Blood God Cult.
If he belonged to neither Great Black Heaven nor the Blood God Cult... who exactly was Ye Si?
At this point, who besides Great Black Heaven and the Blood God Cult would be so interested in him and scheme so carefully to get close?
Could this fellow really be nothing more than a Man Yue Palace retainer who wanted to befriend him?
Or was he merely after that supposed bounty?
Still full of doubts,
Li Yun stepped forward, opened the courtyard gate, and invited Ye Si in.
"Have a seat, Fellow Daoist Ye Si."
"You certainly hear things quickly, Fellow Daoist Ye Si. I was away from Clearwind Courtyard for months and only returned today, yet here you are. You haven't been keeping an eye on me all this time, have you?"
Li Yun brewed tea as he gave Ye Si a teasing look.
"Uh... don't misunderstand me, Fellow Daoist Li.
