If someone mentioned the other seniors of Cloudmist Peak, Yun Huanling might not have known them, but he really did know the man before him...
"Master once mentioned this senior to us."
This time, it was Su Jiu's turn to be surprised. Across both her lives, she had never known of Dao Lord Qing Ci's existence, yet Yun Huanling did?
Dao Lord Qing Ci was an expert who had survived from ten thousand years ago until the present. Never mind Yun Huanling-even Yun Huanling's master should not have known of his existence...
As she considered this, Su Jiu kept feeling that something was odd...
Yun Huanling's expression also grew somewhat grave, as though some question had snagged his thoughts.
"He... I mean, Senior Qing Ci. Is he often active within your sect?"
Even if Su Jiu had been slower on the uptake, she would have noticed something was wrong with Yun Huanling.
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
An inexplicably complicated look appeared in Yun Huanling's eyes as he looked at Su Jiu, but it vanished in a flash, so quickly that one could almost have mistaken it for an illusion.
Yun Huanling smiled. "Nothing. I was just too surprised to see a Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivator suddenly appear."
"You knew he was a Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivator?"
Yun Huanling nodded. "Master told us."
Su Jiu stared at him without speaking. Perhaps even Yun Huanling himself had never noticed the little gesture he unconsciously made when he lied.
From the looks of it, Yun Huanling might not have learned about Dao Lord Qing Ci from Hongguang after all.
So what else was Yun Huanling hiding from her?
Perhaps noticing Su Jiu and Yun Huanling whispering together, Dao Lord Qing Ci turned his gaze toward them.
