Chapter 229 We Shouldn't Have Backed Down!
Lan Yue was completely unaware of the thoughts of those around her. At this moment, she was flipping through the system panel while secretly suppressing the smile on her lips.
However, he couldn't suppress it any longer and burst into laughter, drawing curious glances from many people.
These gazes were so intense that Lan Yue noticed them and looked around.
"Lanyue, what's wrong?" Yunxi asked quietly.
"Yunxi, have you felt that someone is always watching us?" Lanyue wondered, because it wasn't the first time she had felt it; it seemed like quite a few people were watching them, making her feel uneasy.
"Really? I don't think I felt anything. It must be that those people are very curious about how the two of us tied for first place, right?" Yunxi explained calmly, afraid that if she said something wrong, Lanyue would notice something amiss.
"Those people didn't really believe it to begin with, after all, the two of us are only at the Foundation Establishment stage, which is far inferior to those Golden Core cultivators they thought highly of."
Of course, the claim that it was far from accurate was just how those people described it, not what she herself thought.
Yunxi had long been brainwashed by Lanyue, and in her eyes, she was exceptionally outstanding. This was why she was always very confident and never doubted herself.
"Yunxi, don't listen to those people's nagging. They don't know how powerful you are, but don't we know how powerful you are among your own? You can even lead us to ascension in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Yue quickly comforted her friend, fearing that Yun Xi would be affected.
Her tone was so proud that Yunxi couldn't help but smile.
"Lan Yue, actually I..." Yun Xi originally wanted to say that her achievement was actually related to her bloodline talent, especially recently, her talent has become more and more obvious.
Yunxi could sometimes hear the spirit beasts discussing things from a great distance. Before, this ability only worked when she wanted to hear clearly, but now it seemed different, as if some floodgate had been opened...
Moreover, she vaguely sensed that she could not only hear sounds, but also that her conversations with these spirit beasts and demons could influence these beings to some extent.
Otherwise, Yunxi wouldn't have tricked so many demons during the final competition between the two domains, causing so many demons to rush into her trap.
"Stop, stop, stop!" Lan Yue realized something, waved her hand instantly, then lowered her head and secretly transmitted her voice.
"Yunxi, this trump card should be kept hidden. We must not let anyone know about it. There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. We must protect ourselves well!"
Lan Yue's heart was pounding, and she was still feeling lingering fear.
In the original work, the female protagonist attracted the covetousness of many people because of this bloodline talent, which she even used without realizing it.
In the end, even some old monsters came out to hunt them down, causing the protagonist group to experience countless life-or-death crises.
Yunxi was already fifteen or sixteen years old at that time, and had already experienced countless ambushes. She felt her heart pounding and was very worried about the main characters.
Now Yunxi treats her as an important friend and is willing to share her talents, but Lanyue doesn't dare to listen at all.
What if someone can see through the telepathic technique and hears it?
After all, quite a few prominent figures have come to this inter-regional competition, and who knows if any of them would do something like this?
Seeing Lan Yue's serious expression, Yun Xi realized her friend's good intentions and quickly turned her head away, pretending nothing had happened.
Once Yunxi completely shut up and stopped talking about it.
Lan Yue was relieved and continued eating.
[Lan Yue: Right, where was I in the gossip I was just watching? The untold story of the Northern Ridge Holy Son and our sect leader, how they met.]
[Their first encounter was something they probably never imagined. They met before they could even walk. At that time, the Holy Lord of the Northern Ridge Holy Land had just lost a child and was heartbroken. They brought their younger brother to the Southern Spirit Sect seeking help, and happened to meet the Supreme Elder carrying the child.]
[Two elderly people outside are discussing their secret to finding missing persons, while inside, two children are hugging each other and nibbling on their toes with great relish...]
Lan Yue couldn't help but laugh when she saw this. She didn't notice at all that Yun Chong, who was surrounded by so many people in the distance, was completely frozen.
The Holy Son of Beiling was also incredulous; he had actually met Yun Chong when he was young? Indeed, this was a destiny between the two of them!
He shouldn't have backed down in the first place!
The Holy Son of Beiling paced around anxiously, scratching his head and looking on. He wanted to see Yun Chong's reaction, but the other party was surrounded by so many people that he couldn't get a glimpse of himself!
He felt a little aggrieved and sat back down. But then he realized it still wouldn't work, so he secretly released a wisp of his spiritual consciousness.
In an instant, Yun Chong sensed something and glanced in the direction of the spiritual sense.
With just one glance, the Holy Son of Beiling obediently sat back down, not daring to move.
