Another expedition into a secret land.
After hearing why He Erniang had come, Chen Lin could not help growing suspicious.
Qin Yueying had asked him to explore a secret land, and now He Erniang had come with the same request. It seemed rather coincidental. He wondered whether they meant the same place.
"Why come to me, Erniang? I'm only in the Mang Realm."
Chen Lin voiced his doubts.
Without Tiezhu's flame power, he was merely an Initial Mang Realm cultivator in this world.
Even with his other abilities, he would not exceed the Late Mang Realm. Against monsters, however, the Soul-Destroying Finger's suppressive effect would allow him to fight a Cage Realm monster.
There was little reason for her to seek him out.
He Erniang smiled.
"It wasn't my idea to approach you," she explained. "It was my husband's. He believes Brother Yan has hidden depths and would make a good partner, so he sent me to invite you."
"And your husband is...?"
Chen Lin asked tentatively.
He Erniang made no attempt to conceal it. Straightening her chest, she said, "My husband is Yu Yuanqi, a disciple of the Zhenshan King. He currently oversees the Inner City's Enforcement Team and has Late Cage Realm cultivation."
Understanding dawned on Chen Lin.
So she was married to the Zhenshan King's disciple. No wonder she could run a rice shop in the Inner City without anyone daring to rob it.
The Zhenshan King was one of the city's three Wheel Realm experts. He had also been a prince of Lingyun Country during the bright era, making his faction Yuming City's legitimate authority.
Yet despite that legitimacy, his faction was not the strongest.
The Zhenshan King had entered the Wheel Realm back in the bright era and did not practice a Divine Temple Cultivation
