(Quick Transmigration) Meat Eating Journey

Prequel (23-24)

Chapter 23

「Qiong Hua didn't use a transmigration broker,」 Gu Yincheng's voice on the other end of the communication crystal was firm. 「She used a body transfer. Body transfer is less expensive but more risky, so those shady brokers generally don't handle this kind of business. At least according to my investigation, Mr. He doesn't take body transfers.」

「Then how did she see through my identity?」 Ye Xuan frowned.

Unlike soul transfer, body transfer causes temporal turbulence. As a time-space administrator, Gu Yincheng has special instruments that can detect temporal fluctuations. He initially sensed someone undergoing a body transfer into this world and used Qiong Hua to confirm Ye Xuan's identity. But Qiong Hua is different; Ye Xuan's disguise was so well done that she wouldn't have been identified unless someone like Gu Yincheng suspected her from the start.

「There's only one possibility,」 Gu Yincheng thought for a moment. 「That is, she must have discovered you in the main world.」

At that time, as an innocent bystander, Ye Xuan was affected by the temporal turbulence caused by Qiong Hua's body transfer. Perhaps Qiong Hua caught a glimpse of Ye Xuan's appearance during that brief moment. Subsequently, they ended up in different places but, by coincidence, both joined the Luo Fu Sect.

If that's the case, it means Qiong Hua is far more astute than Ye Xuan imagined. She never showed any signs of recognizing Ye Xuan as a 「fellow traveler」 when they met. If Zhao Mao hadn't blabbed about Qiong Hua's activities to Liu Bai, Ye Xuan would never have guessed that her identity was exposed by Qiong Hua.

「Do you think she might suspect you?」 This was Ye Xuan's biggest concern.

「Don't worry,」 Gu Yincheng replied with a faint smile. 「I never underestimate any transmigrator. They are ambitious enough to disrupt time and space, and no matter how they present themselves in public, they are never fools.」 He paused, then added, 「Except for that particular clueless rabbit.」

Ye Xuan gritted her teeth in frustration, acknowledging that she indeed wasn't good at schemes. She huffed lightly, 「Don't expect me to cover for you.」

Gu Yincheng, who was missing and hiding not far from the Luo Fu Sect's mountain gate, was believed to be missing or dead by everyone in the sect. Meanwhile, the Jiuyan Dao Palace was shrouded in gloom. Under such circumstances, someone couldn't hold back and finally exposed themselves.

Ye Xuan smiled slyly, 「It seems like Senior Brother Li Che from the sect has been quite impatient lately.」

「Li Che is not a transmigrator,」 Gu Yincheng replied confidently. Soul transfer doesn't cause temporal turbulence, so he couldn't detect the timing of their transmigration. However, as long as a transmigrator comes close to Gu Yincheng's sensing range, his instruments will react. Li Che is also a disciple of the Luo Fu Sect; if he were a transmigrator, Gu Yincheng would have detected him long ago.

Gu Yincheng had been in the Luo Fu Sect for over a hundred years. Apart from a few who had just arrived, he had sent all the transmigrators in the sect back to the main world. If there were any transmigrators hiding in the Luo Fu Sect that he hadn't discovered, it would only mean that their cultivation was higher than his. But since Gu Yincheng is a Yuan Ying cultivator, only those extremely rare Yuan Shen experts in the entire cultivation world would have a higher cultivation level.

Such people, even if Gu Yincheng knew their identity, would be beyond his reach.

「The person sneaking around outside last time was Li Che, but I don't know if he infiltrated Chang Guan Cave,」 Gu Yincheng mused. 「He should be under someone's orders. Li Che is a direct disciple; the person who can command him must be formidable.」
