Xie Ruyue looked at him expressionlessly, but she was a little stunned inwardly. When she figured out that he was trying to hide his real identity, She had imagined countless reasons, yet never once had she considered he could be a spy.
It was a common belief that the Frozen Heart Sect didn’t use males as spies, as there was no news of their sect capturing one ever.
Why was she even thinking this? Since he said that he was a spy, then he was one. Although it still was quite unbelievable, and she voiced it out, "Th–This is... quite unbelievable, junior brother"
There was one more thing. Since he was telling her now, that meant he trusted her more now or... "Why have you told me about this today, junior brother?"
Lin Feng could feel what she was trying to ask, "It’s because I got what I came for, senior sister," he answered calmly.
Xie Ruyue got surprised listening to that, but she wanted to know something else, "That is good, but why tell me about it, junior brother? Since you haven’t mentioned it earlier, then that means you still didn’t trust me enough. Right now, you are still in the sect, so why the sudden change?"
Lin Feng sighed when he heard that, "It’s not like I don’t trust you, senior sister. It was related to the well-being of someone whom I call grandmother. So even if I had trusted you, I wasn’t able to tell you because I can’t take any risk."
Xie Ruyue nodded, she understood his implication, "Wait a second... Since you have told me everything, that means you already sent the information to the Frozen Heart Sect, right?"
Lin Feng pointed out the teleportation array, "Yes, using this array."
Xie Ruyue nodded, she remembered him using the voice-transmitting talisman, "So what is the hidden treasure our sect is guarding tightly? What kind of pill is it?"
Lin Feng smiled, he knew she would be able to figure out that it was a pill and something related to vitality. Elder Gao had directly told them that it was a pill after all, "It is a strength-increasing pill, or you can say a realm-enhancing pill, senior sister, just like how we guessed."
Xie Ruyue nodded while shaking her head. She could already foresee how disastrously this would end for Yin Yang Harmony sect.
Her junior brother definitely had a good enough counter for it. A person who was an alchemist and yet knew a Grade 6 teleportation array, heaven knew how many pill recipes were in his head.
Well, she would love seeing the Yin Yang Harmony Sect incurring losses, "Do you know, junior brother, I have always planned to leave this sect.
Before, it was always those restrictive robes which had stopped me from doing so, now it was you. I didn’t want to leave you, as I always thought that you would stay with this sect if they weren’t losing the war.
But who would have thought my wish would be fulfilled."
Lin Feng knew she didn’t ever like this sect, even now when she had finally gotten her real freedom, "Senior sister, we will still stay in the sect for some time. There are many things I can do while staying here."
Xie Ruyue nodded and smiled, "It’s okay, junior brother, I am not in a hurry. Just knowing that I am not truly bound by this sect is more than enough for me."
Lin Feng smiled too, "By the way, there is an inheritance site opening inside the Whispering Wind Mountain Range in 5 days. Elder Lan announced this in the inner sect, as only cultivators up to the Core Formation realm are allowed to enter.
I am going to cultivate to reach the Late Stage of Core Formation, so that I can convince Elder Gao to let me go too."
Xie Ruyue was surprised, "It’s been a while since an outside inheritance site was found." She sighed, "Sigh... so you will be gone for a few months."
Lin Feng smiled and came close to her, "It’s just a few months..." He caught her in his arms, "I wonder who you will miss most, me or—"
"Who would even miss you... Humph! I will only miss my little hubby," Xie Ruyue knew what he was trying to ask, so she finished it off in her own way.
Lin Feng smirked at her pouting expression, "If that is the case, then I don’t need to concentrate much on cultivating since I will be absorbing your yin bead. If you want, you can play with your little hubby till your heart is content, senior sister."
He even pressed it against her stomach and started to rub it.
Xie Ruyue didn’t dislike the idea, but if she did it, then there was a high chance he would get distracted, "I am going to cultivate too, it will be better if you can reach the Late Stage as early as possible, so that I can have undivided attention later."
Lin Feng nodded, he was thinking of the same...
...
In the cave where the high-grade mine was located, Xuan Xue had just used a talisman to inform Bai Ning about the counter pill after she received the information from Lin Feng.
She sighed and became a little relaxed. Now that he had completed the mission, he wouldn’t take unnecessary risks as he mentioned. She would still stay here, but most of her worries had faded away.
...
In the Frozen Heart Sect, Bai Ning sighed in relief too. Everyone was worried about Lin Feng, and with this, they would be able to relax a little. She wasn’t too happy about the fact he would still stay in that sect. No matter what, it was still quite dangerous for him.
She immediately stood and went to the Mission Peak.
When she arrived inside the main abode, Hua Ying opened her eyes from meditation, "What happened?"
"Good news, our scoundrel had completed his mission..." Bai Ning said with a little smile.
Hua Ying was surprised, "He is back?" Although she cared about the mission, as this was related to the well-being of their mother, she was more worried about Lin Feng’s safety.
