Myth Beyond Heaven

,m "Where's he now?" Wu Qingcheng hurriedly asked.

Wu Xue replied cautiously. "I'm sorry, Young Miss. We haven't seen him again. I'm afraid we have to ask Island Master Zhou about this."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Wu Qingcheng frowned. She waved her hand and quickly stood up. "Never mind. I'll go by myself."

"This…" Wu Xue was stunned by her young miss's attitude. Everyone in the Mystic Pavilion knew that Wu Qingcheng didn't like interacting with others much if there was no benefit. She actually took the initiative to contact Zhou Qingyu. Was the sun going to rise in the west?

Wu Qingcheng didn't care about Wu Xue and went straight to Zhou Qingyu's building. Upon Wu Qingcheng entering the building, Zhou Qingyu was notified right away, and she was puzzled why the dignified Mystic Pavilion's Young Mistress came to find her.

Zhou Qingyu didn't dare to be neglected and went to receive Wu Qingcheng personally.

"It's my honor to meet Miss Wu. May I know what business you have with me?" Zhou Qingyu led Wu Qingcheng into her office and asked after serving the latter a tea.

Wu Qingcheng didn't ask her right away but observed Lei Feifei, who was sitting on the side.

Her gaze made Lei Feifei uneasy. She felt as though being stared at by a hungry wolf.

Wu Qingcheng finally spoke. "I heard that you've recruited a guest elder recently."

Lei Feifei's eyes flashed with a strange light. Her vigilance increased drastically as her mind spun rapidly, trying to figure out Wu Qingcheng's purpose… Was she coming for the Scarlet Soul Emperor's matter?

"Yes. Why did you ask this?" Lei Feifei stared straight at Wu Qingcheng.

In terms of status, Lei Feifei wasn't inferior to Wu Qingcheng in the slightest. On the contrary, she could be considered a senior. Hence, she wasn't polite when she conversed with the latter.

Wu Qingcheng smiled faintly. "It's nothing. I've heard about his unparalleled formation talent. I want to hire him to upgrade the overall defense of my Mystic Pavilion here. As you know, there's an incident last time."

Lei Feifei and Zhou Qingyu glanced at each other. They somehow felt there was something more than this, but they couldn't figure it out. If Wu Qingcheng truly wanted to hire Yun Lintian, why did she come here herself? Couldn't she just leave it to her subordinate?

The more they thought, the more it didn't make sense. However, Lei Feifei didn't expose this flaw directly and replied. "Sorry. He's not available."

Wu Qingcheng stared into Lei Feifei's eyes for a while and nodded inwardly. It seemed Lei Feifei was not bad. At least, she protected Yun Lintian well.

Wu Qingcheng thought for a moment and turned to Zhou Qingyu. "The island's situation is not optimistic even though you have the help of Palace Master Lei. Du Huanfeng isn't someone who gives up easily. He will certainly launch another attack soon… I can offer my Mystic Pavilion's presence in exchange for Elder Mu's service."

Zhou Qingyu's brows raised in surprise. The Mystic Pavilion had always been neutral since the beginning. Why did Wu Qingcheng do this?

Lei Feifei's eyes narrowed. "Are you perhaps finding him because of the Black Jade mine's incident?"

Wu Qingcheng laughed gently. "Please do not insult me like this. Do I need to go through such a troublesome process to acquire him? Besides, the so-called mysterious figure had long gone by now. What's the use of asking him?"

Lei Feifei went silent. What Wu Qingcheng said was without reason. Although the Mystic Pavilion wasn't strong as the Star Pavilion in terms of the intelligence network, it wasn't inferior much. There was no need for her to come here personally if she truly wanted to know about the mine's incident.

"What's your purpose?" Lei Feifei decided to ask directly.

Wu Qingcheng didn't reply but asked with a meaningful smile. "Looks like the relationship between him and Miss Lei is good?"

"He is, after all, my guest elder." Lei Feifei answered without blinking.

Wu Qingcheng turned to Zhou Qingyu. "What's your decision?"

Zhou Qingyu immediately replied calmly. "My decision is the same as hers."

Although Wu Qingcheng's profound strength wasn't as strong as the two women in front of her, her ability to read people was relatively high. She could see that these two were genuine. They were truly good for Yun Lintian.

Wu Qingcheng took a square blue jade out of her storage ring and threw it to the ground. Instantly, a blue barrier quickly spread throughout the room, accompanied by a solid isolating power.

Zhou Qingyu and Lei Feifei were surprised by Wu Qingcheng's action and waited for the latter to explain. They knew what Wu Qingcheng was going to say next was extremely important.

Wu Qingcheng checked the surrounding once again before saying. "You two really take good care of my junior brother."

The expressions of Zhou Qingyu and Lei Feifei abruptly changed upon hearing this. They asked in unison. "Junior brother?"

Wu Qingcheng nodded her head gently. "Mu Chen is my junior brother. He's really naughty by running away without telling us sisters. I have got wind of him and come here to find him."

Lei Feifei and Zhou Qingyu glanced at each other. They still couldn't believe Wu Qingcheng's words. How did Yun Lintian become a junior brother of a person with a powerful background like this? And "us sisters" in Wu Qingcheng's words indicated he had many senior sisters. Who were these people?

Lei Feifei suddenly remembered something. She had heard about Wu Qingcheng before. It seemed she had gone to the Northern Continent in these past years. And Yun Lintian was also coming from the Northern Continent… Wasn't this obvious?

Wu Qingcheng noticed the change in Lei Feifei's expression. She seemed to guess something. Perhaps Lei Feifei knew about Yun Lintian's background?

It was as Wu Qingcheng had expected, Lei Feifei suddenly asked. "Are you returning from the Northern Continent?"

Hearing this, the smile on Wu Qingcheng's face grew wider. "Yes. I've just returned from the Northern Continent."

Her answer immediately confirmed Lei Feifei's doubt.
