Chapter 375 - Azure Guard
After all the farces ended up with nothing, Yun Lintian and his friends separated and went back to their respective residences. Before leaving, Yun Lintian told them to pay attention to Wang Jue's next movement.
As a classic young master, there was no way Wang Jue could swallow this shame. He would definitely try to get it back and was likely to target people around Yun Lintian instead of him directly.
"Big Brother Yun!" When Yun Lintian returned to the Moonlight Peak, Linlin quickly rushed into his arms and lovingly rubbed her head against his chest. She thought she would have to wait for him a few days and totally didn't expect him to come back this soon.
"Sorry, big brother has left you here alone again." Seeing Linlin was safe and sound, the worry in Yun Lintian's heart disappeared instantly. He feared that someone might have an idea about her when he went away. He had considered whether to put Linlin in the Land of Beyond Heaven, but it would be too suspicious.
"It's fine. Big Sister Mumu is here… Oh, right. Sister Xinyao said she has something to tell Big Brother Yun." Linlin raised her head to look at Yun Lintian and said.
"Oh? Where is she now?" Yun Lintian asked with surprise.
"She's in Aunt Zixuan's house," Linlin replied. During this period, her relationship with everyone in Moonlight Hall had increased significantly. She started to call everyone in a more intimate way.
Soon, Yun Lintian and Linlin arrived at Lin Zixuan's bamboo hut and went in after receiving permission. When he walked into the room, he saw Han Bingling, Lin Xinyao, Jiang Yingyue, and Lin Zixuan sitting around the bamboo table, chatting happily.
"Congratulations for breaking my record." Jiang Yingyue was the one who greeted first.
"Thank you, Big Sister Yingyue." Yun Lintian responded with a smile.
"You are here. Come, take a seat." Lin Zixuan gave a rare smile as she beckoned Yun Lintian to sit down.
Yun Lintian quickly sat down and said with a serious expression. "Master, Senior Hong just told me someone from Azure Palace has arrived here. I guess this person should notice something on the seal. We better make a preparation beforehand."
Han Bingling interjected. "Don't worry. He won't find anything."
"He? You know this person?" Yun Lintian asked curiously.
"The one who came is Weilan Tianjun's right-hand man. His name is Yi, the leader of the ten Azure Guards. His strength alone is no less than mine. However, if he wants to do anything here, he has to think about the consequence." Han Bingling explained calmly. She didn't seem to worry about it at all.
"Yi, the number one Yi? What a weird name." Yun Lintian said. [1]
"Similar to my Moon Guard, Azure Guard is the existence serving directly under Azure Palace Master. No one except the palace master could order them. Each number represents its strength. Number one is the strongest. They would inherit the position from generation to generation." Han Bingling explained further.
"I see. It seems Azure Palace Master has attached great importance on this mission." Yun Lintian plainly. "What is this Yi specializing in?"
"Concealment." This time, Jiang Yingyue replied. As a descendant of the Central Continent's Jiang clan, she naturally knew a lot about the Azure Palace.
Yun Lintian frowned slightly. "Concealment? Wouldn't it mean we are in trouble now?"
Han Bingling shook her head. "No. His pride won't allow him to do things sneakingly here. Otherwise, we wouldn't detect him the moment he landed in our Northern Continent."
"Ah, another prideful idiot?" Yun Lintian blurted out. It wasn't because Yun Lintian looked down on this Yi guy, but instead, he felt it was necessary to conceal himself when doing this kind of spy mission.
"Well said. Yes, he's a prideful idiot." Lin Zixuan said with a chuckle. However, Yun Lintian could see a touch of coldness in her eyes. It seemed she had a past with this Yi.
"How are we going to handle this?" Yun Lintian asked. Although he knew Han Bingling had a countermeasure for this. He needed to hear about it again so that he could make a preparation in case something went wrong.
Han Bingling smiled and said. "Look at your Master again. What did you see?"
Yun Lintian turned to look at Lin Zixuan and examined her carefully. In the next moment, he immediately realized Lin Zixuan's power had been sealed by something he couldn't see. If it wasn't because he had Eyes of Heaven, he would never notice it.
"What is this round object on Master's Origin Core?" Through Eyes of Heaven, Yun Lintian saw a round object that radiated with ice aura attached to Lin Zixuan's Origin Core and concealed all of her power.
"It's a divine-rank artifact, Frozen Sealing Orb. It can conceal one's aura." Han Bingling said. She looked at Yun Lintian with a meaningful smile and continued. "I always wonder how did you manage to see Abyssal Poison. I think I know it now. If I guess correctly, this eyes sorcery of yours allows you to see the energy, right?"
It was as she said, Han Bingling had witnessed Yun Lintian's unusual eyes sorcery many times, and she was always curious about it. This was the first time she saw Yun Lintian use it up close, and she seemed to figure out how it worked.
Yun Lintian didn't intend to avoid her question further. The flaw of the Eyes of Heaven was too obvious — his pupils would turn golden, and he could not hide it even if he wanted to. It was just that no one knew how it worked exactly in the past.
"Yes. It allows me to see the energy flow." Yun Lintian replied casually. He didn't tell her about other functions, such as seeing through the illusion.
"No wonder you could clear the maze this fast." Jiang Yingyue asked. As the previous record holder, she naturally knew about the principle behind the Forest Maze.. Yun Lintian's ability to see the energy flow was perfectly made for conquering this training ground.
