Sensing everyone's gaze, Qin Yu could guess what they were thinking. He quickly explained, "Don't think too much. There's nothing going on between me and Lin Moran. It's just a misunderstanding."
Only then did everyone's expression soften. The beautiful woman asked, "Daoist Li, you know the princess of the Lin Clan?"
"We've only met once …" Qin Yu replied. Seeing everyone staring at him, Qin Yu could tell that they didn't believe him. He could only tell the whole story.
Seeing that everyone was still doubtful, Qin Yu added, "Daoist Qi knows that I've been looking for her."
Seeing Daoist Qi nod, everyone was relieved. The burly man said, "Thank goodness, thank goodness there's nothing going on. Otherwise, you really don't need to go to Jido Seishū."
"What do you mean?" Qin Yu was confused.
"The princess of the Lin Clan is engaged to Di Daotian.
Right now, Di Daotian was like the sun in the midday sky. He was known as a heaven-defying genius with the highest chance of becoming a Nine Star Purgatory cultivator in the ninth immortal realms. He was also a Dao Child of the Dao Origin Sacred Sect of the Three Sacred Sects. His Di Clan was already a colossal existence in the Three Thousand Daos Heavens.
With Di Daotian's methods, he definitely won't let you go to Jido Seishū alive! "said the burly man.
Qin Yu's expression stiffened. He didn't expect there to be such a relationship. Only now did Qin Yu truly understand why Qi Youlong asked so many times.
"Don't worry, Lin Moran probably doesn't even remember me." Qin Yu said casually and raised his wine cup.
After the gathering, Qin Yu walked alone in the Wyvern Ancient City. He was filled with emotions.
Through this gathering, Qin Yu dispelled any thoughts of befriending others. Even if he wanted to, he wouldn't do it in such an occasion.
This time, although Wenren Jingfeng, Yan Yin, and the others didn't have any ill intentions, it was obvious that they were here to befriend Qi Youlong. To put it bluntly, without Qi Youlong, they wouldn't lower themselves. At least, that was what they thought.
Therefore, in the end, all of them wanted to find out Qin Yu's identity and origin. This made Qin Yu deeply understand that if he wanted them to take him seriously, he had to show them a corresponding identity or strength. However, if that was the case, Qin Yu had no intention of befriending them.
It had to be said that Qin Yu's personality was slowly changing, especially after fusing with the remnant soul of the Xumi Undying Son of Heaven. That arrogance that seeped deep into his soul could be seen at a glance. This might make him seem unsociable in the eyes of others.
But what they didn't know was that it wasn't that Qin Yu couldn't let go of his pride, but that Qin Yu wanted to see who it was!
Discarding the thoughts in his mind, Qin Yu began to think about how to get back the Dragon Phantom Soul Whip and the golden iron scroll.
From the information he received, he concluded that they wouldn't leave the Wyvern Ancient City before the Hidden Dragon Soaring Phenomenon. Therefore, whether Qin Yu could get it back depended on this period of time. After this period of time, the possibility of getting it back would be infinitely increased!
But what gave Qin Yu a headache was that it would be difficult to get the two of them to take it out. If it was outside, Qin Yu would forcefully snatch it. But in the Wyvern Ancient City, if he forcefully took action, it would only make things worse and even attract the attention of other monsters.
Leaving the overcrowded main road, Qin Yu aimlessly walked to a small road with relatively fewer people. His mind was carefully thinking of a plan.
Unknowingly, Qin Yu walked to the edge of a lake in the east. Placing his hands on the railing, he looked at the rising mist and fell into deep thought.
At this moment, the Ancient Flying Dragon City was abnormally bustling. Many cultivators were strolling around the various large shops and auction houses. There were also many people who were chatting and laughing by the lakeside. There were even Dao Companions who were happily chatting with each other.
Looking at the lake, Qin Yu gradually came back to his senses. His ears echoed with the sweet words of the lovers walking by. Qin Yu's heart suddenly trembled inexplicably, and a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
The emotions that had been sealed in the depths of his heart all rolled at this moment. They couldn't be suppressed and surged into his heart like a flash flood.
At this moment, Qin Yu's expression was sluggish. His mind was filled with memories and longing.
Qin Yu was like this. Normally, he wouldn't think about it, but at a certain moment, his thoughts would overflow.
"Xian Wuyou, where are you?" Qin Yu murmured. At this moment, he was filled with vicissitudes, loneliness, and desolation.
When he found out that the nine immortal realms used to be the Three Thousand Daos Heaven, Qin Yu's heart clenched. However, before he understood the true situation of the nine immortal realms and why the Three Thousand Daos Heaven shattered, he intentionally didn't let himself think too much.
But this didn't mean that Qin Yu wasn't worried.
If the Three Thousand Daos Heaven shattered, then was Xian Wuyou dead or alive?
If she was dead, who killed her?
If she was alive, then where was she now?
Everything was unknown. Qin Yu could only control himself and not think too much. Only by increasing his strength as soon as possible could he investigate the mystery of the Three Thousand Daos Heaven shattering and find Xian Wuyou's whereabouts.
Qin Yu didn't know that while his thoughts were extremely complicated and chaotic, on the other side of the lake, a delicate woman with a veil on her face was also standing by the lake. She was holding onto the railing and gazing at the lake. Just like Qin Yu, her peerless face under the veil was incomparably complicated.
After a long time, the woman was awakened by a gust of cold wind. Just as she sighed and turned around, she inadvertently saw Qin Yu on the other side.
At first, the woman didn't think about it. Just as her gaze swept past Qin Yu and turned elsewhere, the woman suddenly thought of something. She fiercely turned her head and glared at Qin Yu. Her eyes were filled with rage and killing intent.
Just as the woman was about to attack, she sensed that Qin Yu was exuding an inexplicable vicissitudes, loneliness, and desolation. The woman's heart trembled.
At this moment, Qin Yu's loneliness touched the woman's heartstrings.
At this moment, the woman suddenly had a strange thought. It was as if she had found a kindred spirit!
This woman was Lin Moran, the princess of the Lin family that Qi Youlong and the others had mentioned!
Qin Yu didn't notice Lin Moran's gaze. He was immersed in his memories and couldn't extricate himself.
Lin Moran originally wanted to go up and scold Qin Yu and warn him again. But seeing how Qin Yu was, she couldn't say anything. In the end, Lin Moran deliberately turned her head and continued to size up the lake. However, from time to time, she would glance at Qin Yu.
She was a little curious. Why was this little cultivator at Dao Realm Stage Three emitting the same vicissitudes of life as those old fellows at home?
Moreover, what was with the arrogance and desolation in his expression?
Lin Moran's gaze suddenly landed on Qin Yu's white hair. This white hair was like ice and snow that filled the sky, extremely dazzling.
"Sigh!"
Lin Moran seemed to have heard a sigh that contained endless complexity. Just as she looked up, she realized that Qin Yu had already turned around and left.
