“Why?” The old man was slightly dumbfounded, but after thinking for a bit, he said in a somewhat embarrassed manner: “Er, actually there was no reason. It was just that in the evening in the city I saw that you seemed to use the Wave Treading Steps when fighting those men of the Long family so I came to confirm it a bit, and to conveniently ask about my senior brother’s whereabouts.”
“As his junior brother, why don’t you know his whereabouts?” Bai Yunfei asked doubtfully.
“My senior brother doesn’t like to stay in touch with other people. Plus, I’m not powerful enough to work out where he’s gone to…” The old man said in frustration.
Bai Yunfei frowned slightly, saying: “I don’t know where senior Ge Yiyun has gone to at all. But he should still be in this Qingyun Province. Several days ago I ran into him on a mountain to the south of Cuiliu City.”
Seeing a thoughtful expression show up on his face, Bai Yunfei did not want to stay longer. He folded his hands in salute, saying: “Senior, if you don’t have anything else to say, I’ll take my leave now.”
……
As the old man watched Bai Yunfei gradually go away, there was a trace of astonishment on his face. He then shook his head lightly, saying to himself: “It seems this brat still doesn’t trust me. Does he have to be so vigilant? How can an elder of the Fate School like me possibly fool you? Really… But this also means that there’s something special about him. At least being careful in everything can’t go wrong.
“Senior brother has been traveling the world for over two years. How many people who can neutralize our school’s tribulation has he found, I wonder…? Several months ago, a secular disciple reported that he had gone into Qingyun Province but there’s been no news about him ever since. From what this brat said, he should still be in this place. But why? What is he looking for that he’s been staying here for several months? Is there something that requires him to put in so much time?”
The more the old man guessed, the more doubtful his face looked. In the end, he let out a soft sigh, turned around and disappeared into the night.
……
Under the night sky, a tall and straight silhouette was standing on a relatively high roof, looking thoughtfully into the distance at an alleyway more than a thousand meters away. What he was fixing his eyes on was none other than the alleyway where Bai Yunfei and the old man had just met.
Judging from his appearance, he should be no more than thirty years old. His body was tall and straight, his robe silver and his hair long. Although he could not be considered handsome, there was an air of heroism about him. On his shoulder, there was unexpectedly a palm-sized white little animal that looked like a rat.
