Yun Lintian didn't linger on this topic further. He asked. "How come you appear here? Didn't you say that you won't come here?"

Lin Xinyao glanced at Mumu, who was lying lazily on Yun Lintian's shoulder and said. "Mumu said there is something that helps increase her strength."

Yun Lintian looked at Mumu with a surprise and asked. "Little guy, do you know where is the thing?"

Mumu stretched its paw lazily toward the center of the valley. 

Yun Lintian and Lin Xinyao glanced at each other. Both of them knew how terrifying that place was. Just the profound beasts around the valley. They didn't even know how to pass them. Let alone enter the valley.

Yun Lintian said. "I don't think we can go there. Although I can't estimate the strength of those profound beasts, it shouldn't be less than the fifth level of Ruler Profound Realm."

Lin Xinyao agreed with Yun Lintian's statement. Even Su Xiao was strong, she couldn't deal with several Ruler Profound Beasts at the same time.

"Hmm?" Yun Lintian's expression changed as he received an alarm signal. When his mind connected with the formation's eyes, Lei Jun immediately appeared in his sight.

"He's here." Yun Lintian said.

Lin Xinyao looked at Su Xiao and said. "Let's go out to meet him."

Su Xiao naturally obeyed Lin Xinyao and led Lin Xinyao out of the conceal formation.

Yun Lintian wanted to stop them, but he understood Lin Xinyao's intention and chose to stay silent.

"Where did he go?" Lei Jun frowned as he looked around. He couldn't see any of Yun Lintian's traces. It was as if he was a ghost, come and go without a trace.

Suddenly, his Spiritual Sense perceived something, and he did not hesitate to rush over. 

"Xinyao?" Lei Jun halted his step as soon as he saw Lin Xinyao.

Lin Xinyao glanced at him, saying nothing, and prepared to leave with Su Xiao.

"Wait, Xinyao. Have you seen anyone passing by here?" Lei Jun stopped Lin Xinyao and asked.

Lin Xinyao looked at him with dissatisfaction as she replied coldly. "No."

Lei Jun calmed himself down and understood he was a bit rude earlier. He took a breath and said with a smile. "Sorry, I've disturbed you. However, you must be careful. I've met a dangerous person earlier. I don't know who he is, but he can actually inscribe the ancient divine runes. I believe there isn't such a person among people who entered this place."

Ancient divine rune? Lin Xinyao thought in her heart. A strange light flashed across her eyes as she seemed to figure out something. She nodded her head slightly. "I understand." Following that, she turned around and left with Su Xiao.

Lei Jun wanted to say something, but fearing he might anger her. Hence, he chose to let her go and brought his bodyguard away.

Yun Lintian saw the whole process and shook his head with a chuckle. Simp will always be a simp. There were so many loopholes on Lin Xinyao earlier. For example, Mumu wasn't with her, and she didn't even care who the person Lei Jun mentioned was. Yun Lintian believed Lin Xinyao would definitely ask Lei Jun about it in a normal situation, no matter how she hated him. 

From Lei Jun's words, Yun Lintian understood something. It seemed the nine palaces were familiar with the ancient divine rune. In the future, Yun Lintian must not leave a trace behind like today. Otherwise, he would become a target wherever he goes.

Seeing Lei Jun went away, Yun Lintian did not relax his vigilance in the slightest. He sat down and pondered about his next move.

Suddenly, he felt a soft sensation on his cheek, making him turned around and saw Mumu's paw.

"What's wrong?" Yun Lintian stroked its head while asking.

Mumu pointed at the valley, trying to explain something.

Yun Lintian frowned and said. "Do you want me to die badly? You know very well that I am too weak to go there."

Mumu shook its head vigorously and talked about something which Yun Lintian didn't understand. However, Yun Lintian could roughly guess the meaning. It seemed Mumu tried to say there was no danger over there, but how could it be possible?

While Yun Lintian was thinking, Lin Xinyao had already returned. 

"We should leave now." Lin Xinyao said. She knew Lei Jun wasn't an idiot. He would definitely come back to check again in no time.

Yun Lintian also understood this point and removed the formation before leaving with Lin Xinyao and Su Xiao.

When the three of them left, Lei Jun's figure appeared in the distance while staring at Yun Lintian's back coldly. 

"It turns out she's with him." Lei Jun said. His voice was incomparably cold. Earlier, he felt something was amiss on Lin Xinyao and used the Saint-rank artifact to hide his presence, waiting nearby.

"Have you ever seen this person before?" Lei Jun turned to his bodyguard.

The bodyguard shook his head as he replied. "I didn't see this person at the entrance."

Lei Jun smiled coldly as he looked in Yun Lintian's direction. "Interesting…"

***

"Are you sure you want to go to the valley?" Su Xiao asked Yun Lintian with a frown. 

Yun Lintian nodded his head. "Since we are already here, it would be a waste if we don't try, right?"

"But…" Before Su Xiao could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Lin Xinyao. 

"Mumu, are you serious?" Lin Xinyao looked at Mumu questioningly. A while ago, Mumu had communicated with her, saying it had a way to bypass the profound beasts and enter the valley. Of course, she didn't believe and had to ask for confirmation.

Mumu nodded its head and let out a low cry.

Lin Xinyao's brows twitched, and she shifted her gaze toward the valley in the distance.

A while later, she said. "Let's try."

"Young Miss, it's too dangerous!" Su Xiao said anxiously. Her duty was to keep Lin Xinyao safe. How could she let her venture into the most dangerous place of Thunder Valley?

"It's decided. You can stay here if you don't want to go." Lin Xinyao said and walked down the mountain, heading toward the valley, followed by Yun Lintian.

In the end, Su Xiao sighed helplessly and followed them afterward.
