Zhang Henian had already known that Li Yan was Master Lan's man. Now that he had heard Li Yan's explanation, he felt even more strongly that Li Yan seemed to hold an exceptionally high position with Master Lan.
Who was Master Lan? Those who could usually serve as her assistants were no more than a few of her personal disciples. But what was going on with Li Yan? Master Lan had never announced that she had taken on any new disciples...
Clearly, this man was not her disciple, yet he possessed a status equal to that of Master Lan's disciples.
"Senior Zhang, what business did you have with this junior?"
"Oh, I came to see you over a private matter. Fellow Daoist Li, won't you invite me in for a seat?"
Inside the reception hall, Li Yan served tea before taking a seat himself.
Zhang Henian swept his gaze around, but found no one else, nor did he see the other person he had hoped to find.
He had come to discuss something with Li Yan, so he could not simply release his soul power and probe everywhere. He then spoke to Li Yan.
"Fellow Daoist Li, I shall speak plainly. Is there a female Devil Race soul slave named Mu Guyue in your possession?"
After hearing this, a flicker of surprise flashed through Li Yan's eyes and vanished. He immediately nodded. This was not something he could conceal even if he wanted to.
However, the instant the other party mentioned Mu Guyue, Li Yan became alert.
Seeing Li Yan admit it with a nod, Zhang Henian immediately smiled.
"Hehehe... then I have indeed come to the right person. I have brought Fellow Daoist Li a fortunate opportunity!"
"Senior, what fortunate opportunity could a soul slave possibly have?"
Li Yan
