Nalan Jingyue was amused by her actions and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Su Yao turned her head and glared at him: "what are you laughing at? I just didn't stand still!"
"I know!"
"You know it and you're still laughing?" Su Yao became even angrier.
"I'm not laughing at you for not standing steadily, I just think... you are very cute." Nalan Jingyue put away his smile and said seriously.
Hearing this, Su Yao's face began to feel hot. Now she was sure that she was shy. How should I put it? In all her years, this was the first time someone of the opposite sex said she was cute.
"Don't talk nonsense. Tell me, are you hiding something from us?" Su Yao admitted that she asked this now with the intention of changing the subject.
She didn't expect Nalan Jingyue to answer at all.
Unexpectedly, Nalan Jingyue stared at her for a long time before slowly asking, "Do you really want to know the whole story? Even if you might be in danger after knowing it, you still want to know?"
After hearing what he said, Su Yao fell silent. But then she changed her mind and realized that entering the dragon tomb was a life-or-death experience. If she wasn't afraid of death, why should she be afraid of any danger? Besides, whether she could get out alive was the same thing.
"Yes, I want to know." Su Yao nodded seriously.
Nalan Jingyue sighed silently, waved his hand and set up a soundproof formation outside the two of them. Although they could not hear his conversation with Su Yao in the formation, he still set it up just in case.
Inside the soundproof formation, Nalan Jingyue took out a table and chairs from his storage bag and set them up. He then took out his tea set and sat down opposite Su Yao. Seeing that Su Yao was still standing, he motioned for her to sit down and talk.
Su Yao was speechless. Shouldn't they be talking about business? Why were they drinking tea already? Although she was complaining, she still sat down opposite Nalan Jingyue consciously.
Nalan Jingyue poured a cup of brewed tea and handed it to her, and poured himself a cup as well. Su Yao was almost driven crazy by his dithering behavior.
How can someone keep people in suspense like this?
As if he saw through Su Yao's thoughts, he slowly spoke: "Ask whatever you want to know, and I will tell you what I can tell you."
With his words, Su Yao spoke bluntly: "First question, what is your current cultivation level?"
"...late stage of the Spiritual Transformation."
"Late stage of the Spirit Transformation?! Then how could you get into this dragon tomb?" Su Yao was surprised. She didn't expect that he was already in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation.
"I have a secret method that can suppress cultivation." As if knowing what Su Yao was going to ask, he added: "This secret method is not available to my people, so there is no way to teach this secret method to the headmaster and others. It was true in the secret realm.
If I recover my cultivation within the secret realm, I'll definitely be ejected. But for this Dragon Clan Tomb, I can simply use secret techniques to bypass the restrictions at the entrance, and once inside, I won't have to suppress my cultivation anymore."
Speaking of the secret realm, Su Yao remembered the Soul-Calming Banner that he had to take, and couldn't help asking, "Is it really necessary to take the Soul-Calming Banner?"
Nalan Jingyue fell silent, then took out a jade pendant from his chest. "The Soul-Calming Banner can nourish the soul. You know, a wisp of my mother's soul is within this jade pendant, but her soul is too broken, and it will take hundreds of years to nourish it."
Su Yao didn't expect the truth to be like this. "Sorry, I shouldn't ask. If you risked your life to save your mother, why did you follow her into the dragon's tomb this time?"
If he dies here, all my efforts will be in vain!
Nalan Jingyue looked at her deeply before speaking calmly, "Here is the truth I'm looking for, and here is the reason why I have to come."
"The truth?" Is there any hidden story behind this?
"The reason why my mother became what she is now has something to do with these monsters from another world."
Su Yao was horrified: "so it's no coincidence that you recognized those monsters."
"That's the notebook my mother left behind. It records all the information about the monsters from other worlds, but it doesn't explain why these monsters appear or how to stop them."
"So you came here this time just to find out what happened to your mother?"
"Yes. And before this trip, I didn't believe the monsters drawn in the notebook were real, until I entered the dragon tomb."
"Then how can you be sure that the cause of your mother's accident is related to the dragon tomb?" Su Yao couldn't help but become curious.
"I was picked up by Sect Leader Li at the foot of Haoyue Sect's mountain. I was still a swaddled baby at the time, and the only things I had with me were this jade pendant, a notebook, and a dragon scale."
"In that case, these things are indeed related." Su Yao thought thoughtfully.
Suddenly Su Yao seemed to realize something and suddenly said, "then you told me all these things?"
The more Nalan Jing looked at her like this, he couldn't help laughing: "Isn't that what you want to know?"
"I want to know, but you can keep quiet. You don't want to kill me to silence me, do you?" She looked at him warily after saying that.
"I believe you." Nalan Jingyue's smile remained unchanged.
This really made Su Yao feel helpless, so she asked tentatively, "Then should I tell Jingjing?"
"As long as you believe it, you can."
Su Yao was silent for a while, and then she said hesitantly: "I only told Jingjing about this. If I can't even trust her, there's no one else I can trust."
Nalan Jingyue remained silent. He had seen how good the relationship between her and Ning Jing was. It didn't matter to him. Even if it was told to others, it wouldn't be considered a shocking secret.
