Chapter 576 - 576 163 A Different Kind of Blind Date Two in

Chapter 576: Chapter 163: A Different Kind of Blind Date [Two in One] Chapter 576: Chapter 163: A Different Kind of Blind Date [Two in One] “This young…and talented…individual is…” Lady Dong scrutinized Feng Yin with utmost warmth and meticulous attention.

It radiated warmth, but her gaze was extraordinarily detailed.

Feng Yin’s heart gave a sudden jolt.

Because in that moment, he realized with shock that his identity possessed a significant hidden risk.

The Bear Empress and her husband knew he was an assassin, a gentle soul, and a divine physician.

As for Dong Xiaoyan and others, they were only aware he was a Beast Tamer Master, possessing an unusual martial physique, and imbued with pure life energy.

But this was no surprise, as the purest vitality spiritual power could explain why spirit beasts would voluntarily flock to him and how his channeling of spiritual power could bring someone back from the brink of death, healing even the grievous wounds of Bai Changhai.

As for the Cat Emperor who had departed and whose return was uncertain, he knew Feng Yin’s original identity as Physician Feng.

Observing all this, once these three groups were to cross-examine and confirm each other’s findings, they could piece together all his secrets and lay them bare for all to see.

He had been so preoccupied recently that he hadn’t found the time to resolve this identity crisis. But now, it was abruptly thrust in front of him, becoming an urgent matter.

But who was Feng Yin? He was someone who had integrated nimble adaptability into his marrow, and this had become his second nature.

In that moment, with a flicker of thought, he briskly walked over to the Bear Emperor and stood between him and the Bear Empress. He respectfully said, “Junior Ling Yunduan pays his respects to Palace Master Dong and Lady Dong.”

Lady Dong chuckled, “Ling Yunduan, that’s indeed a fine name.”

But then, from behind him, the Bear Emperor blurted out a sentence.

“Aha, so your surname is Ling, my younger brother!”

Feng Yin’s facial muscles twitched uncontrollably.

I’ve already blocked you; It’s such an evident hint!

Could anyone believe you’re not feigning ignorance while knowing the truth if you could still say such words?

They say one should not fear a godlike enemy, but rather a pig-like opponent. But I find that having a bear-like friend is truly distressing!

Lady Dong’s eyes lit up upon hearing this and said, “Oh, it seems, even Big Brother Bear is unaware of your younger brother’s full name.”

As the Bear Emperor was about to speak, the Bear Empress interrupted him, laughing, “Our younger brother and us were attracted by mutual liking. He helped cure our child’s illness when we first met. We were so rushed at the time that we didn’t get his full name. We only knew that his name is Yunduan.”

“We are all free spirits, not bothering with all the social decorum. We got so familiar with each other that we casually started calling each other ‘younger brother’ and ‘older brother’, haha…”

The Bear Empress’s speech was intended to cover for Feng Yin. Her quick-witted move was clearly prompted by Feng Yin’s signal.

Lady Dong ‘oh’ed,’ and didn’t ask any more questions. Instead, she cast Feng Yin a meaningful glance and said in a low voice, “I heard that you, Mr. Ling, were previously staying in Yuezhou City and have a deep friendship with Chief He of Beast Taming Sect?”

Feng Yin replied, “Yes, Chief He and I are business partners, and we get along quite well.”

“Oh.”

Lady Dong stopped talking.

Feng Yin kept thinking, this Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace seems to have studied me quite thoroughly. How deeply involved am I?

Still, what He Xiangming knows about me is just my name, Ling Yunduan, and my expertise in taming beasts, which is irrelevant to the broader picture.

The group, escorted by the Bear Emperor and his wife, entered the main hall for tea.

Everyone took their seats according to their rank. After the pleasantries, Feng Yin couldn’t shake the feeling that Lady Dong’s gaze was casually lingering on his face again and again.

As for Dong Canglan, the lord of the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace, he giving him a friendly smile, but within that cordial smile was a hint of a warning, and a vicious nature that was alarmingly instinctive.

Feng Yin felt as if the Palace Master viewed him as a wild boar that had broken into his vegetable garden.

Despite their brief encounter, Feng Yin could sense an undeniable reality buried within.

If distinctions were to be made, despite her talkativeness, Lady Dong seemed exceptionally accommodating toward him — this intuition came out of nowhere, but Feng Yin didn’t doubt its reliability in the slightest.

At this moment, Dong Xiaoyan had taken a seat next to her mother. The usual shines of radiance and magnanimity were gone, replaced by an attitude of being dependent, which was quite unlike her usual demeanor.

In a companion position sat Feng Yin, evidently representing the host party of Mount Siji.

Following the small talk, Feng Yin couldn’t help but admire Dong Canglan and his wife.

It was clear that Palace Master Dong Canglan had many questions, but he carried the conversation nonchalantly, exhibiting the expected etiquette.

It wasn’t until the first pot of tea was almost finished and a fresh pot was brought in, with the scent of the spiritual tea wafting freshly again, that he finally spoke,” My daughter met with an assassination attempt on her journey. With death at the doorstep, she narrowly escaped, thanks to Brother Bear and his wife’s timely help. For this, we are deeply grateful.”

With that, he and his wife slightly bowed in acknowledgment.

The Bear Emperor and his wife quickly dismissed the thanks.

“The Three Mountains’ treacherous acts targeting our Cloud Palace will not be overlooked!”

Despite the warm smile on Dong Canglan’s face, his eyes were icy cold. A strong intent to kill emitted from him.
