The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler

Lin Zhifei pursed his lips. "My intuition."

He couldn't produce any evidence yet, but he had this feeling. It was very subtle but also very clear.

Chu Liuyue followed his gaze. At this moment, the ripples on the realm gate had completely calmed down.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lin Zhifei thought that she didn't believe him and continued, "I've passed through realm gates many times, so I understand them quite well. This realm gate is indeed different from ordinary ones, and this difference is very likely caused by a Xuan formation…"

"You broke through to become a Great King Xuan Master?" asked Chu Liuyue suddenly.

Lin Zhifei was shocked, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Seeing his reaction, Chu Liuyue instantly confirmed her guess. "Indeed… When did this happen?"

Everyone looked over.

Lin Zhifei was only in his early 20s and looked very young. Coupled with the fact that he had been sick all these years, he was weak and thin, making him look like a weak scholar.

Now, Chu Liuyue actually said that he was a Great King Xuan Master! How could they not be shocked?

Even Cen Yi was a little surprised and stared at Lin Zhifei.

The realm of a Xuan Master wasn't revealed. Although he knew that Lin Zhifei was very talented in this aspect, he didn't expect the latter to break through again in such a short period of time.

"Ten days ago," Lin Zhifei replied honestly.

Actually, at that time, he had already vaguely heard some news about Peach Blossom Dock. He originally wanted to come over directly, but he happened to be at the juncture of breaking through, so he delayed for a period of time.

Although he knew that this side wasn't inferior to his combat strength, these kind intentions were always present.

Chu Liuyue gently exhaled and looked at Lin Zhifei with undisguised admiration.

She had long known that Lin Zhifei had astonishing talent in this aspect. In fact, he wasn't inferior to her at all!

The reason why Lin Zhifei could recognize this was largely due to the fact that he knew more about the realm gates than her. But at the same time, his terrifying acuity also helped a lot.

"Say, if there's a Xuan formation inside… Can you find out exactly what Xuan formation it is?"

Lin Zhifei shook his head. "I can't tell for now."

He could sense the existence of a Xuan formation, but just by relying on this feeling, he was indeed unable to make a more detailed judgment.

This was also within Chu Liuyue's expectations, so she wasn't disappointed and only nodded. "It's okay. Since we've already found some clues, there's definitely still hope."

She looked at the realm gate in front of her again and narrowed her eyes. Xuan formation… For no reason, such a thing would naturally not appear in the realm gate. Then… who could it be?

…

At the Yi family.

News of Yi Wentao's return quickly spread. However, no one could see him.

As soon as he returned, Yi Wentao went straight back to his residence and told everyone that he wanted to rest for a while. During this period of time, he wouldn't see anyone.

Actually, this was easy to understand.

Everyone in the Yi family had seen how badly he was injured that day. Moreover, after this battle, he had completely lost all his face.

He could no longer raise his head in front of the Yi family.

It wasn't difficult to imagine that facing anyone from the Yi family at this moment would be extremely torturous for him.

Of course, Yi Wentao's residence had already been changed. After all, he was no longer the family head.

Jun Jiuqing specially ordered someone to arrange an extremely remote corner for him.

To Yi Wentao, this was humiliation but also the best choice. Because this way, he could really avoid seeing the Yi family and ignore the various gazes.

Jun Jiuqing only asked the two elders who came back with him to guard it.

Nobody in the Yi family had expected that Yi Wentao—who had been in high spirits not long ago—would be in such a situation when he returned to the Yi family.

…

Twilight fell, and the moon was high in the sky.

Yi Wentao was lying alone on the bed.

A bitter medicinal fragrance filled the entire room.

There was a wooden box on the table beside him.

A pill was quietly placed inside, and the medicinal fragrance was coming from above.

It was left behind by Jun Jiuqing to heal his injuries. But after Yi Wentao returned, he lay there from day to night without taking the pill.

He opened his eyes and stared fixedly at the ceiling.

He seemed to be looking at the patterns on it, but he also seemed to be in a daze. Through those, he was looking at something else.

"Master." Familiar footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, followed by the sound of an elder bowing respectfully.

Yi Wentao remained motionless.

Of course, he wasn't the one being called.

"I'll go in and take a look." Jun Jiuqing's voice was cold. "You can leave first."

The two elders took turns on duty, so there was only one person outside the door.

His words were indisputable, and the elder quickly said, "Yes."

Soon, Jun Jiuqing pushed the door open and entered.

Yi Wentao closed his eyes.

Jun Jiuqing looked at him and turned around to lock the door. He then set up another barrier to ensure that the sound wouldn't spread out before he spoke. "Have you thought it through?"

Yi Wentao didn't say anything. It was obvious that he didn't want to pay attention to him at all.

Jun Jiuqing wasn't in a hurry and walked to the side of the bed.

He tilted his head and gazed carefully at the former family head for a while. Suddenly, his lips curved into a smile. "Looks like you're still quite confident in yourself. Do you think you can counterattack? Master, I've always respected you, but I didn't expect you to still be so naive."

He tapped lightly on the table. "You know the origin of that shield, right? Or should I ask when you had dealings with that person from Black Demon Hole?"The most update n0vels are published on N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.net
