“No, but we’ve discovered Yin Qing’s background; he’s associated with the Demon Cult.”
The Demon Cult was a sect of dark practitioners on the Cloud Plains Continent. Their cultivation methods differ from orthodox arcane practitioners; they often employ dark arts and are known as Dark Cultivators.
The cult boasted a large following, as their cultivation methods often involved questionable practices, prioritizing speed over righteousness. Many Dark Cultivators progressed rapidly, and they had their fair share of powerful adepts.
This explained why they could mobilize so many Saints to confront Feng Tianlan.
It was rumored that the leader of the Demon Cult, Xiu Yunyi, is one of the top-tier experts on the Cloud Plains Continent, already reaching the pinnacle of the Saint Realm.
The mysterious individual Jing Feng mentioned might very well be him.
But why would Feng Tianlan provoke the Demon Cult?
He was a royal member of the Holy Heaven Dynasty’, so why would the Demon Cult want to kill him?
Initially, Gu Qingluan thought the mysterious figure might be from the upper realms, but now she was not so sure.
“Mistress, are you alright?”
Outside, Su Lie frowned with deep concern.
He heard some commotion in the room earlier, and although the mistress was speaking, she refused to open the door. Could she be in trouble?
Of course, Gu Qingluan wouldn’t reveal the truth to him. How could she let her subordinate know that she’d been bitten by some rogue? Where would her dignity be? How could she ever face him again?
“I’m fine; no need to worry. Continue your investigation at all costs to locate the Demon Cult’s hideout!”
“Understood!” Su Lie’s voice came from outside. “Mistress, there’s one more thing. The Death Mountain Range is experiencing the largest beast tide in a century. Mercenaries within the range have sensed a terrifying pressure emanating from deep within the mountains, as if top-tier experts are engaged in a battle there.”
“Let’s put this matter aside for now. It’s crucial to find out the location of the Demon Cult’s hideout and Feng Tianlan’s whereabouts.”
Su Lie acknowledged and took his leave.
Separated by a door, Su Lie couldn’t help but furrow his brow.
The mistress refused to reveal what was happening inside, and he couldn’t just barge in.
After some thought, before leaving, he quietly instructed Bo He to keep an eye on the mistress’s room.
Inside the room, Gu Qingluan turned around with a stern expression.
She caught sight of the man occupying her bed and her gaze turned displeased. “Do you want to die?”
“Clearly, you care about me, but you can’t even recognize me. Sigh, 1 really don’t know whether to be happy or angry.” The man shook his head with a hint of helplessness on his handsome face.
Gu Qingluan sneered. “Keep pretending!”
He looked at her with a hint of bitterness, “I thought that kiss just now would make you recognize me.”
Gu Qingluan froze at his words.
That kiss…
In her dazed state, she hadn’t had the time or focus to think about it.
Shortly after that, Su Lie had shown up, breaking their moment, and her focus had been diverted to other matters.
Besides, after dealing with that unwelcome encounter, she had no desire to dwell on the past.
But now, with his reminder, she recalled the sensation from that kiss.
It was the aura of Feng Tianlan!
Moreover, if it hadn’t felt familiar, she wouldn’t have been ensnared and unable to resist.
Gu Qingluan’s face kept switching between red and blue. “Are you Feng Tianlan? What did you mean by ‘you are but you’re not’? If you are Feng Tianlan, where were you before this? Weren’t you taken by Xiu Yunyi?”
Feng Tianlan sighed. “You’re asking so many questions. Which one should I answer first?”
“The first one. What did you mean by your earlier words?”
“I am Feng Tianlan, but not just Feng Tianlan.” The man beckoned to her.
Gu Qingluan acted like she didn’t see it.
Well, she wasn’t his dog, after all!
