Chapter 184

"Are they really the ones?" Zhou Wude's astonished voice reached Zhou Yi's ears.

Zhou Yi's heart stirred, and she immediately asked, "Grandfather, do you know their identities?"

"Those two are disciples of the Ling Yao Peak, one generation younger than me," Zhou Wude hesitated for a moment and said, "Their father was an old friend of mine."

A glint flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes as she said, "Grandfather, you may consider them as friends, but they might not see you the same way."

Zhou Wude fell silent, seemingly recalling memories from the past. Over forty years ago, when he was expelled from the sect, there were only a few who truly cared for him.

The conversation between the grandfather and grandsongr was hushed, concealed outside the cave. Although the two women were cunning and cautious, as sly as foxes, they couldn't have imagined that Zhou Yi possessed such a heaven-defying skill like the "Shun Feng Er," allowing her to hear their conversation from such a distance.

Once inside the cave, the two women exchanged a glance and simultaneously donned bamboo hats. Then, one of them retrieved a jade bottle from her pocket and uncorked it, waving it a few times under Yuan Lixun's nose.

Seeing their actions, Zhou Yi inexplicably relaxed, realizing that they didn't harbor much murderous intent. Otherwise, they wouldn't have disguised themselves and concealed their faces from Yuan Lixun.

The scent emanating from the bottle was clearly far from pleasant, causing Yuan Lixun to scrunch up her delicate nose even in her unconscious state. Soon after, she slowly regained consciousness.

Zhou Yi inwardly thought, "Impressive, indeed disciples of the Ling Yao Peak, to even possess such advanced sedatives. However, for a postnatal master at the tenth level of internal energy to resort to using this against a mere sixth-level practitioner, it shows just how cautious and meticulous these two women are."

Yuan Lixun opened her eyes, a hint of confusion flashing in them. Despite her exceptional intelligence, ever since she started following Zhou Yi, she was always treated with deference wherever she went. Especially on the Ling Yao Peak, even high-level masters like Zhou Wujin, at the pinnacle of the tenth level of internal energy, didn't dare assert their seniority in her presence.

Thus, for a moment, she couldn't possibly associate her unconscious state with being kidnapped. However, as she regained full consciousness and her bright, perceptive eyes took in her surroundings, she began to grasp the situation. Inevitably, a flicker of fear crossed her gaze.

After all, she was just a young girl. Despite having someone as powerful as Zhou Yi by her side, finding herself suddenly trapped in such an environment naturally caused her to panic.

"Young lady, you're quite clever. You've saved me some explaining," an elderly male voice spoke from beneath the bamboo hat of one of the women. Their robes were loose and voluminous, combined with the veiled faces, completely concealing their identities. If Zhou Yi and Yuan Lixun hadn't known who they were beforehand, hearing that statement might have led to misunderstandings.

Yuan Lixun managed to force a smile on her face and said, "Senior, we have never met before. Could you have mistaken me for someone else?"

Although she knew the possibility was extremely slim, at this moment, it seemed like she had no choice but to stall for time.

"Hmph, we wouldn't mistake someone," the elderly voice continued, "We brought you here to ask you something. If you cooperate and answer truthfully, we might consider letting you go."

Yuan Lixun's expression barely changed, and there was little joy in her eyes. Setting aside the credibility of the person's words, just the nature of the question itself was not easy to answer.
