" Sister Ling, I have a question I want to ask you."
"What's the problem? Why are you being so secretive? Brother Yun, something's not right with you!"
"This is a crucial question; you must answer me truthfully."
Why are you sweating?
Xie Ling blinked and looked at Xie Yun, who had a serious expression.
Xie Yun's gaze turned serious. "That's not important. What I want to ask is, did you see that sect coming from the Fifth Universe just now? Is it called the Jade Pivot Sect? What's the relationship between the Jade Pivot Sect and the Xuanji Sect?!"
Xie Ling's expression changed slightly.
She maintained her composure and smiled calmly, "The world is vast, and many things share the same name. What you see now is the Jade Pivot Sect and Xuanji Sect, but perhaps in other universes, there are also Xuanji Pavilions and Xuanji Palaces! It's nothing serious, why are you so scared?"
" Sister Ling, do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know? Don't play dumb!"
Xie Yun panicked.
Xie Ling asked, "Brother Yun, what exactly are you trying to say?"
She already understood what the other person meant.
So it's just a rhetorical question.
Xie Yun approached her and whispered, "You must know that Mu Bingxing is the founder of the Xuanji Sect! I've traveled to many places, and the Xuanji Sect only exists in the First Universe! And Mu Bingxing comes from the Jade Pivot Lineage! Only members of their Lineage can use the name Xuanji! Sister Ling, you are the head of a branch family, don't you understand this? Or do you not trust me?"
" Mu Bingxing the Chaos Lineage is something we all know. Don't get too close to him! Xie Feng, what is Xie Feng to him? Son? Nephew? Apprentice? Perhaps... Xie Feng's background is even more astonishing!"
"After you asked me to teach him speed and Movement Method, he also taught me a unique skill, the Qilin King's Heaven-Obscuring Palm! Afterwards, I looked it up, Sister Ling, do you know who the Qilin King is?"
Fine beads of sweat had already formed on Xie Yun's forehead.
He's very nervous right now!
The tension stems from uncovering some earth-shattering secret!
Xie Ling's expression gradually turned serious. Without any emotional fluctuation, she asked, "Who is the Qilin King?"
"An ancestor in the history of the Chaos Lineage! His real name was Xie Lin! To receive his True Disciple must mean that Xie Feng also possesses the Chaos Bloodline! But... if he is a member of the Chaos Lineage, why do I have no recollection of him at all? Or is it..."
Xie Yun fell silent!
A hypothesis began to take root in his mind!
He was almost hesitant to speak!
He was afraid that revealing his conjecture would shock himself!
Xie Ling's eyes flickered, but she didn't panic too much. She thought to herself, her cousin is always cautious, but how could he have revealed such a big flaw in the Qilin King's Heaven-Obscuring Palm technique?
That's not like him at all.
Or rather...
I trust Xie Yun and am confident that he won't betray me after learning the truth, which is why I'm being so frank and uninhibited.
"I can tell you about my younger brother," Xie Ling said, "But you have to promise me you won't tell anyone."
Xie Yun raised his finger, "I, Xie Yun, promise that I will absolutely not tell anyone what happened today! If I break this promise, may I be struck by lightning!"
Xie Ling said, "Do you still remember your uncle and aunt who died in battle? I am their child! Mu Bingxing is my master..."
"As expected! I wasn't wrong! It's definitely illogical for someone to wield the Chaos Power without having the Chaos Bloodline. Xie Feng is the child of our uncle and aunt Xie Xuanyuan Mu Yueheng! Our cousin!"
Xie Yun clenched her fists tightly with excitement.
Because Xie Xuanyuan and his wife were busy with their careers in the first half of their lives, they had children relatively late.
Although Xie Xuanyuan was the eldest of four siblings, his child, Xie Feng, was the youngest.
"Brother Yun, there's one more thing I need to remind you: you absolutely mustn't let Xie Han know about my existence! Otherwise, that old guy will stop at nothing to deal with him!"
Xie Ling gave him further instructions.
Xie Yun nodded. "Don't worry, I won't give myself away. It's getting late, I have to go back!"
Xie Ling tossed over a communication talisman. "If there's any movement from the Lineage, be sure to contact me immediately!"
"I will obey Your Majesty's decree!"
Xie Yun accepted the communication talisman with a smile.
Xie Ling warned, "Brother Yun, if you break your promise today, if you harm me, I will kill you!"
Xie Yun's smile froze on his face. " Sister Ling, he's your cousin, and I'm your older cousin. My relationship with you is no worse than his! Are you trying to pull that 'closer is better' thing? I'm hurt, heartbroken!"
"Let's go!"
Xie Ling sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.
Xie Yun waved and left Qingli Realm.
Xie Ling watched her retreating figure, her brows furrowing involuntarily. The Chaos Lineage was a place of intrigue and treacherous power struggles; she was genuinely worried about Xie Yun...
She also stayed at the Jade Pivot Sect because she was worried that Xie Han would cause trouble for Xie Feng.
With both she and Kong Qiusu at the Peak Great Emperor guarding the Jade Pivot Sect, it is currently safe.
"Hope everything is alright..."
Xie Ling murmured.
Soon, Xie Yun arrived at the Tenth Universe. He flew to the Gate of the Vast Expanse and was about to enter when a person appeared on the other side.
A slight look of surprise crossed his face.
This person is... Xie Han!!
"Elder, what are you doing here?" Xie Yun frowned and unconsciously took a step back.
Xie Han rarely goes out, but now he's standing by the gate, and the timing of his appearance is so coincidental, it's as if he was deliberately waiting for him!
Once Xie Yun had this thought in mind, he felt a chill run down his spine.
"Oh, isn't this Young Master Yun? What brings you to the Land of Chaos? Where have you been?"
Xie Han crossed his arms, a faint smile playing on his lips. His long, flowing beard reached his chest, the wind ruffling it, giving him an ethereal and otherworldly air.
"Traveling abroad," Xie Yun said succinctly.
"Traveling abroad? Haha, really? That young master is truly condescending, actually going to travel to the lower universes."
Xie Han took two steps forward, paced around the former twice, and a cryptic smile appeared on his face.
Upon hearing this, Xie Yun remained expressionless, simply bowing his head and listening humbly and obediently.
Perhaps because he was too obedient and never argued with him, Xie Han quickly grew bored.
He didn't want to beat around the bush anymore and said directly, "Young Master Yun, as an elder, I have the right to inquire about the itineraries of you young masters. May I ask where you are now? Where did you come from? If you don't tell me, then I will."
Xie Yun glared at him. "You followed me?"
Xie Han laughed, "Oh, not really. I just glanced Lower Realm the lower realm and, by sheer coincidence, I saw you, Young Master Yun. Qingli Realm, if my aging brain remembers correctly, that's the name, right? You came from there, didn't you?"
