Chapter 78: Old Friends Reunite, Sounding Out the Truth

Logically speaking, the possibility of Dragon Qingyan returning again was very small.

Although Su Yue didn't know her specific identity, she did know that Dragon Qingyan was from the Central Domain.

Moreover, her cultivation was terrifyingly high; even those from Lingxiao Pavilion would be like ants before her.

Such individuals almost always cultivated in seclusion year-round, rarely venturing out, especially to a barren land like the Northern Frontier.

Since she had come now, she must have come with a purpose.

"Mmm... there is indeed a small matter that I can't quite figure out, and perhaps you really can help me!" Dragon Qingyan said softly, resting her chin on her delicate hands.

In front of Su Yue, she shed all her prestige and airs, like a normal woman.

Su Yue became even more curious upon hearing this.

However, she didn't speak but rather listened intently. She really wanted to know what could stump Dragon Qingyan.

"Xiaoyue, this area is under your jurisdiction. About a month and a half ago, was there anything particularly unusual that happened, or any strange phenomena, or perhaps the emergence of any exceptionally talented cultivators?"

After a brief moment of contemplation, Dragon Qingyan voiced her question.

Upon just visiting the entrance to the second floor of the Star Tower, besides feeling the sensation of being under the starry sky, she also checked if anyone had entered the second floor.

It wasn't that she didn't trust Su Yue, but if someone truly could ascend, it would be very easy for them to avoid Su Yue's detection.

However.

The entrance remained impenetrable, without the slightest trace of being disturbed.

This indicated that the previous immortal phenomenon had nothing to do with the Star Tower.

And now she wasn't sure if it was Luo Xingchen.

That's why she asked this way.

As for Gu Yue City, she didn't even know who had caused the immortal aura.

And Su Yue was the controller of Fengling Province, so perhaps she would know something Dragon Qingyan didn't.

Thump~~

Upon hearing this, Su Yue's heart skipped a beat.

A month and a half ago was exactly when Lin Yu ascended the Star Tower.

She never expected this good sister of hers to have sensed something.

She had been a little strange just now, wondering why Dragon Qingyan didn't reminisce first upon arriving, but instead immediately focused on the Star Tower.

Now that she thought about it, it must have been to check if there was anything unusual with the Star Tower.

Fortunately, Lin Yu did not destroy those mysterious runes when he ascended the tower, otherwise, he would have been discovered.

But even so, her heart involuntarily quickened its pace.

There was nothing to hide about this matter originally. After all, the Star Tower was left by Dragon Qingyan, and she had also told Su Yue that it was to find a fated person.

If it were anyone else, she would have told her, but... Lin Yu was different.

Dragon Qingyan coming in person showed that this matter was very unusual, and Su Yue was afraid that revealing it would bring bad consequences to Lin Yu.

She had different feelings for Lin Yu.

She absolutely would not allow him to get into trouble, even if the possibility was very small.

Thinking of this, she wanted to deny it.

Wait, no!

Just as she was about to speak, a name suddenly popped into her mind.

Isn't that Luo Xingchen... the best scapegoat?

She had had this idea before, but in the end, for the sake of caution, she still expelled him from the sect.

Now, it seemed it wasn't impossible to say it!

"Xiaoyue, what are you thinking about? So distracted?" Dragon Qingyan didn't get a reply and instead saw Su Yue lost in thought, so she couldn't help but ask.

"Ah! Oh, didn't you just ask me if there were any special prodigies!"

Su Yue immediately regained her composure, "Qingyan-jie, you know what, I really thought of a guy who fits your description perfectly!"

"Oh? Who is it?" Dragon Qingyan immediately became interested.

"His name is Luo Xingchen. He's a new disciple I took in Yunzhou over a month ago. His aptitude is heaven-defying, a Saint-grade physique."

"However, this little guy actually tried to steal the Star Tower, so I directly expelled him from the sect. No matter how powerful someone's aptitude is, I won't take them in if they're like that."

Su Yue spoke with a mix of truth and falsehood.

As for stealing the Star Tower, the other party hadn't actually acted yet.

To be precise, it was just Lin Yu's speculation.

But to protect that little scoundrel, she naturally couldn't expose him.

She couldn't guarantee that Qingyan-jie wouldn't do anything bad to Lin Yu.

......

What! Steal the Star Tower?

Dragon Qingyan frowned slightly.

Originally, when she heard the name 'Luo Xingchen', she wasn't surprised!

After all, she had already met him in person.

And he was indeed one of her target individuals.

But Luo Xingchen wanting to steal the Star Tower truly shocked her.

That's right, it was shock, not anger!

Because even she could only move the Star Tower, and conceal its form with a concealing formation.

She couldn't refine it at all, not even the simplest refinement.

For a young boy to want to steal this towering Star Tower was a fantasy.

But if he could really do it, then...

Moreover, she did remember that Luo Xingchen wanted to come to Piao Miao Sect to get something.

She hadn't thought much of it before, but now, hearing Su Yue say this, she instantly understood something.

At this moment, her judgment wavered again.

That feeling leaned more towards Luo Xingchen.

A young man who had already condensed his own Great Dao Golden Core, and who also seemed capable of refining the Star Tower, and even...

These were definitely no longer simple coincidences.

But inevitability!

If it weren't for the mystery of the Gu Yue City incident still in her heart, she would have truly wanted to take Luo Xingchen directly out of the Northern Frontier.

Leaving those two old guys with no possibility of finding him.

"Huh? Qingyan-jie, aren't you angry? That guy was going to steal the Star Tower you left behind!"

Su Yue had been observing Dragon Qingyan's reaction.

As long as she diverted her attention, her words just now would be successful.

But seeing no trace of anger in her, she couldn't help but ask.

Because she also had no idea what Dragon Qingyan was thinking.

She felt it was necessary to notify that little scoundrel, telling him not to return for now and to hide for a period of time.

"Hehe, there's nothing to be angry about. I don't need this Star Tower. If anyone has the fortune to take it, then that's their ability!"

Dragon Qingyan shook her head, smiled slightly, and then continued:

"By the way, I might take this tower when I leave this time. I'll give you this cultivation technique; perhaps it can help you go further!"

With that, she took out a one-time-use cultivation technique jade slip, "This is the cultivation technique I practice. You can practice it alone, and don't let anyone else know, or it will bring death!"

This was also her compensation.

She also wanted to know the secrets within this tower. Since Luo Xingchen might be able to unlock them, she could do him a favor.

But Su Yue had guarded it for a thousand years, so she couldn't just take it directly.

Therefore, she took out the cultivation technique she practiced, which was also the only Emperor Scripture of the Thunder Domain Holy Hall.
