As soon as Xu Yi came out of the forge and entered the shop, he sensed someone probing him with divine sense.
This was a unique ability that came with cultivating divine sense.
And high-level divine sense held an absolute advantage in both range and concealment.
In other words, someone with high-level divine sense could probe someone with low-level divine sense without being detected. But when someone with low-level divine sense probed someone with high-level divine sense, the moment it touched them, they would be exposed.
Xu Yi knew the newcomer had to be connected to Liu Yinglin.
When he let Liu Yinglin leave back then, he had expected something like this to happen.
His opponent clearly still thought of him as the Mid Soul Sensing Stage cultivator he had been a year ago, and was probing him with shocking boldness and audacity.
Xu Yi simply left the shop and went to a restaurant, where he waited for the newcomer.
To his surprise, Xu Yi finished a meal and drank two pots of tea before the other party finally made his appearance.
Liu Yinglin smiled. "Brother Xu, you're quite the tactician. I imagine you noticed us long ago. Pity us, skulking around and trying these paltry tricks in front of you. What an embarrassment."
Xu Yi waved a hand and smiled. "Brother Liu, there's no need to be so modest. By the way, when we met a while back, you left in a hurry without a thought for our old friendship. Why come looking for me today? Have you suddenly remembered the good old days?"
"Brother Xu, you're as witty as ever," Liu Yinglin said. "Given your keen mind, surely you can guess why I've come today?"
"Brother Liu, are you really going to discuss something important here?"
