Chapter 356 Your Secrets Exposed? What's Your Relationship with Old Man Sword?

While Lin Mo's scalp tingled with shock, Huang Feiyan continued to speak, as if reminiscing about the past.

"When the Su Family met with disaster, This Saint happened to be in seclusion."

"By the time This Saint emerged from seclusion, I learned that the Su Family had already been destroyed!"

"This Saint did not believe it and personally made a trip to Pill Prefecture."

"In the end... except for a stretch of ruins, not a single living soul of the Su Family could be found. In the entire Pill Prefecture, blood flowed like a river."

"This Saint sat there in silence for three days, and ultimately could only leave helplessly."

Speaking of this, her tone suddenly turned cold, and a terrifying killing intent surged within the Small World.

"But after returning to Shengyang Prefecture, This Saint discovered a group of sneaky, nauseating rats."

"They seemed to be looking for someone, and their methods were extremely cruel. They would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go."

"Uh... and then?"

"What happened to that group of people?"

Seeing her pause, Lin Mo asked curiously.

"What happened?"

Huang Feiyan let out a cold laugh, reached out her palm, and gently clenched it.

"Naturally, This Saint crushed them all to death!"

"Not a single one was left!"

"Ah... so that's how it was?"

Lin Mo was shaken in his heart, and in an instant, he understood.

It turned out that the reason his Revered Master and Senior Sister were able to hide for over twenty years and remain safe was not because they hid so well.

But because...

Those "pursuers" who came after them were wiped out by the enraged Burning Heaven Holy Venerable on their way, before they even had a chance to find anyone!

That was why they were able to spend over twenty years of peaceful days in the Qingxuan Sect!

"From what you're saying, they eventually hid in the remote Canglin Domain."

"During this time, were there any blind people or forces that bullied them?"

Huang Feiyan's gaze narrowed slightly as she looked at Lin Mo, her tone carrying a hint of a dangerous aura.

"Cough... basically none."

"Really none!"

Hearing Huang Feiyan's tone, which sounded like she wanted to stand up for Su Qinghan, Lin Mo hurriedly shook his head.

"The Canglin Domain is remote and backward, with few experts."

"And Revered Master was a Nascent Soul Cultivator before. Even if he was heavily injured, he could still protect Senior Sister."

These words were not false; the Qingxuan Sect had indeed not suffered any major grievances over the years.

And looking at Huang Feiyan's posture, if Su Qinghan had really suffered some great grievance in the Canglin Domain,

Lin Mo would even doubt if this irritable Holy Venerable would, in a fit of rage, directly wipe the entire Canglin Domain off the map!

For the sake of the billions of living beings in the Canglin Domain, he felt it was better not to add fuel to the fire.

"That's good then."

Seeing that Lin Mo did not seem to be lying, Huang Feiyan then withdrew her killing intent and nodded slightly.

"Since that's the case."

"Find an opportunity later to bring that Senior Sister of yours to see me. Is that a problem?"

Her tone brooked no doubt; she clearly very much wanted to see the descendant of an old friend.

"Of course, no problem!"

Lin Mo nodded repeatedly, agreeing extremely readily.

This was not a difficult task either.

When the time came, he would find an opportunity to summon Su Qinghan back from Great Xia. After letting Huang Feiyan see her and catch up, he would just send her back.

It was all about being flexible!

"Mm, very good."

Seeing Lin Mo being so sensible, Huang Feiyan nodded with satisfaction.

But immediately after, her tone shifted, and a sharp light flashed in her phoenix eyes as she asked a question that Lin Mo completely did not expect!

"The second question."

"What is your relationship with Old Man Jian?"

"Ah??"

Lin Mo was stunned, not reacting for a moment.

Old Man Jian?

Who was that?

Oh, wait... was she talking about Elder Jian?!

"Don't play dumb with This Saint."

Seeing Lin Mo's bewildered expression, Huang Feiyan snorted coldly.

"You are practicing the Nine Tribulations Immortal Slaying Sword Scripture, right?"

"As far as I know, this is Old Man Jian's bottom-of-the-barrel secret that he never passes on!"

"But Old Man Jian fell thousands of years ago, his body and Dao both extinguished."

"How did you learn it then?"

Huang Feiyan's tone was eerie, leaving Lin Mo stunned.

"Oh no..."

"How did it suddenly get to this?"

"Can she recognize the Cultivation Technique I practice so easily?"

Lin Mo was somewhat speechless.

He hadn't even leaked a trace of his aura.

Yet his background was seen through at a glance by this big shot?

Is this the insight of a Quasi-Emperor?

However, he didn't panic much.

After all, hearing Huang Feiyan's tone, although she kept calling him "Old Man Jian," there was clearly no deep-seated hatred; instead, it revealed a sense of familiarity.

Presumably, she wouldn't make things difficult for him because of this.

"Senior has a Wisdom Eye. The Cultivation Technique Junior has learned is indeed Senior Jian's ultimate skill!"

Lin Mo's mind raced, and he quickly came up with a countermeasure.

His expression became solemn, and he replied neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"As for how I learned it, that's a long story!"

Lin Mo paused and briefly fabricated a cliché story about how he accidentally stumbled into a Secret Realm and was lucky enough to obtain Elder Jian's Legacy.

Of course, to prevent Huang Feiyan from not believing him or seeing through any flaws, he very craftily mixed in some "truth."

"Senior might not know, but the reason why Junior traveled ten thousand miles specifically to come to this Yanyang Holy Land..."

"Is actually related to Elder Jian."

"Related to Old Man Jian?" Huang Feiyan raised an eyebrow.

"Correct!"

Lin Mo nodded with a look of sincerity.

"Because when I was receiving Elder Jian's Legacy in the Secret Realm before, a wisp of his remnant soul once mentioned it to Junior."

"He said that one of his close friends was once the Holy Lord of the Yanyang Holy Land."

"And that close friend of his had a Personal Disciple who was a peerless Prodigy that suppressed an entire era!"

"Now, that Prodigy has most likely grown into a Super Titan of the Yanyang Holy Land!"

"Therefore, he suggested that I must go to the Yanyang Holy Land. If I am lucky, perhaps I could receive the protection and guidance of this great figure!"

Lin Mo's Face didn't flush and his heart didn't race as he directly took the information he had obtained from his Younger Sister and, after some artistic processing, used it to fool Huang Feiyan.

"Oh?"

"Old Man Jian really said that?"

Hearing that Lin Mo even knew the relationship between her Revered Master and Old Man Jian so clearly,

Huang Feiyan's originally somewhat suspicious gaze immediately dissipated by more than half.

At this point, she already believed eighty percent of it.

After all, such secrets could never be known by outsiders unless the parties involved personally informed them.

"That's right."

"It's just that at that time, I didn't know the person Elder Jian was talking about was you, Senior Burning Heaven."

"Now that you mention Elder Jian's name, I have suddenly realized it."

Speaking up to here, a flash of craftiness crossed Lin Mo's eyes, and he decided to add more fuel to the fire.

He pretended to reminisce and sighed:

"Elder Jian also said back then that he valued Face too much when he was young and was stubborn."

"So he was always unwilling to admit that you were the most dazzling and stunning existence he had ever seen."

"It wasn't until the moment of his final fall, when he no longer had the chance to say these words, that he felt deep regret and took it as a lifelong sorrow!"

These last two sentences were, of course, never said by Elder Jian.

What a joke. When Elder Jian mentioned Huang Feiyan, his teeth itched with rage, and he wished he could hang her up and beat her. How could he possibly say such mushy words?

But that didn't stop Lin Mo from making it up!

Anyway, Elder Jian was currently acting as a foreign teacher over in Great Xia and couldn't hear it.

And this could please this future wealthy Revered Master, so why not?

This is called a white lie!

"Hmph, at least Old Man Jian knows what's good for him!"

"He hasn't gone completely senile yet!"

Sure enough, after hearing Lin Mo's "recounting," a brilliant smile directly appeared on Huang Feiyan's exquisite Face.

That smile was like a hundred flowers blooming at once, making heaven and earth lose their color.

And Lin Mo, taking in her radiant smile, almost stared blankly!

"Good heavens..."

"Is this the quality of being ranked first on the heavenly secret peerless beauty ranking?"

"This is just too much!"

"Logically, she should be an old thing who has lived for who knows how many years, so how can she still be so breathtakingly beautiful?!"

Lin Mo was somewhat puzzled and muttered to himself.

But what he didn't know was that Huang Feiyan really had nothing to do with the word "old"!

Not to mention that she was only over two thousand years old now, which compared to a Quasi-Emperor's long Lifespan that often reached tens of thousands of years, was essentially just a young person.

Just take her Physique—the Undying Immortal Phoenix Body!

The word "Undying" was not just for show!

People with this Physique naturally had a much longer Lifespan than other Cultivators of the same level!

If the current Huang Feiyan lived without disaster or hardship, she could even live for nearly thirty thousand years!

If calculated that way...

At over two thousand years old now, she was actually just a beautiful girl in her prime.

To call her an old thing was simply blatant slander!
