"Um... he is... oh, he is your senior brother," Lin Miao said, flustered, and quickly made up an excuse.
“Oh, right, right, I’m your senior brother,” Sui Xin replied immediately when he saw Lin Ling wink at him.
"My name is Ye Sui... cough, Ye Yun," he almost said his real name, but he just made one up and took the "Yun" character from Xi Yun's name.
"Ye? Why does it feel somewhat familiar?" Xi Yun thought to herself.
She doesn't have a surname now, she's just called Xiyun, and Lin Miao and the others haven't told her that.
"Senior brother? Have we met before?" She walked towards Sui Xin. Although she couldn't see what he looked like, she had a very familiar feeling, especially his gentle voice.
Lin Ling felt a little sweaty as she looked at him, thinking to herself, "I mustn't give myself away."
"I've met you a few times," Sui Xin said, trying to remain calm.
"Can I see what my senior brother looks like?"
Xi Yun stopped a short distance in front of him, staring intently into Sui Xin's eyes, a stark contrast to her previous timidity and introversion.
"Um, well, I'm too ugly, I'm afraid I'll scare my junior sister, so let's just forget about it," Sui Xin replied, her heart beating a little faster.
Xi Yun shook her head, "It's okay, I want to see, I'm not afraid."
As he spoke, he began to remove Suixin's mask.
Sui Xin quickly stepped back a few paces and covered her face with her hands. "Forget it, I don't like letting others see what I look like."
Xi Yun frowned. "Alright then, will Senior Brother come with us tomorrow too?"
I don't know why, but it seems like I'm not afraid of anything in front of him, and I no longer speak cautiously.
"He leaves first in the morning, you can go in the afternoon," Lin Miao replied with a sigh of relief, then looked at Sui Xin.
“Master, I also want to go in the morning,” Xi Yun said, moving towards Sui Xin as she spoke.
Sui Xin, who was standing next to her, was dumbfounded. How could this be?
Didn't they say that you could get close to Xi Yun by hiding your aura? Why does it feel the same? It was like I recognized her the moment I saw her.
“This…” Lin Miao couldn’t make a decision. “Let’s go ask Elder Zheng.”
She originally intended to go alone, but considering that Xiyun and Suixin were both there, she had no choice but to bring everyone along, including the little fat boy and the others.
On the way to the main peak, Xi Yun walked in the middle, while Sui Xin walked at the very back.
Xi Yun kept looking back, as if afraid he would leave. Later, she even wanted to chat with him, but Fei Rong stopped her in the end.
Sui Xin felt a little guilty under the scrutiny, but for some reason, she felt quite good.
As soon as they reached the foot of the main peak, Zheng Qiao sensed their arrival and activated the barrier first.
It took me a while to recognize Suixin in the crowd, and I was a little confused.
On one hand, he was amazed by Sui Xin's ability to conceal his aura. In his opinion, even cultivators whose cultivation level was several realms higher than Sui Xin's would have difficulty discerning his cultivation level.
Such a wonderful method is not found in sects;
Secondly, they were truly baffled as to why they had come together. But then again, given their ability to conceal their presence, it was understandable that Xi Yun couldn't detect them.
Lin Miao and the others entered the main hall and explained their purpose to Zheng Qiao.
Zheng Qiao didn't answer. Instead, he looked at Sui Xin and transmitted his voice, "Sui Xin, can you continue with this method indefinitely? Won't Xi Yun see through it?"
As for its origin, he didn't ask, but he could roughly guess that it was probably obtained from the Divine Realm.
"It can be maintained indefinitely, without any time limit. As for whether Yun'er can see through it, she probably can't. After all, even a cultivator at the Heavenly Origin Realm might not be able to see through my disguise," he transmitted his thoughts.
Although Xi Yun is clearly different from the others, it's still unlikely that you can tell; at most, you might feel a bit familiar with her.
Zheng Qiao nodded, "Alright, then you guys can go together tomorrow morning."
This is for the best. Otherwise, if they went in batches, it would be somewhat inappropriate for the Sword Sect to see them, especially since they had already disobeyed Jian Jun once before.
Including the two times tomorrow, that will be almost three times. It's been happening again and again, and it just doesn't seem sincere.
Then he explained the detailed arrangements for tomorrow to the group.
The departure time is set for 9:00 AM tomorrow. We will meet at the sect gate, and Lin Miao will lead the team as before.
"Alright, Lin Ling, you stay. The rest of you can go first," Zheng Qiao said.
"What if Suixin and Xiyun..." Lin Miao asked telepathically, but was interrupted by Zheng Qiao before she could finish.
"It's alright, let them try getting along. Now that something's happened, we're here to keep an eye on things," Zheng Qiao responded.
Lin Ling nodded. Given the current situation, the two of them would eventually get together; it was just a matter of time.
Sui Xin and the chubby boy left one by one, and no one spoke on the way, making the atmosphere somewhat awkward.
"Ahem, Fatty, you guys chat, I'm going home first," Suixin said first.
Although he didn't want to leave Xiyun, he hadn't figured out how to face her, in what capacity, or what story to tell.
"Oh, Sui... cough cough, Lao Ye," the chubby boy quickly corrected himself, almost giving himself away, and no one else spoke.
Beside her, Xi Yun broke free from Fei Rong's hand, wanting to stop her, but ultimately didn't say anything.
Sui Xin didn't linger; he waved and left immediately.
He felt a pang of regret the whole way, thinking he should have changed his voice when he first spoke. But he really hadn't expected Xi Yun to still be there, catching him completely off guard.
Fortunately, there is a thousand faces.
He had some doubts about whether Xi Yun had really forgotten him, because Xi Yun's behavior was too abnormal.
But he didn't dare to actually show Xiyun what he looked like, in case it was real.
