Chapter 986: Chapter 610: The Situation

"What are you thinking?"

The whistling wind passed by his ears, and a frivolous, smiling female voice arose beside him, interrupting Xu Yuan’s thoughts. Coming back to his senses, he saw on the horizon the vague outline of a magnificent city standing atop a cliff.

After leaving the cave, the two of them did not hide their presence anymore, speeding towards Zhenxi Prefecture City at the speed of Primordial.

In just one hour, they were almost at Zhenxi Prefecture City.

Drawing his gaze back, Xu Yuan softly counter-asked, "What do you mean?"

The young girl smiled faintly, "Naturally, I’m referring to Mu Xingchen. Do you trust him?"

Xu Yuan pondered for a moment before responding ambiguously,

"The information he provided earlier mostly matches what we have in hand, and logically speaking, the matter of the Bug Saint constitutes a cause and effect without loopholes."

Upon hearing this, the girl lifted her slender finger and pointed towards the fortress in the sky:

"So you’re planning to report this information to the Zhenxi Army?"

Xu Yuan glanced oddly at the palace-dressed girl, tapped his own head, and asked with a hint of amusement,

"Didn’t you realize from the beginning that I had no intention of trusting him? Why ask such an idiotic question?"

The girl’s charming features frowned slightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.

Catching her micro-expression, Xu Yuan chuckled and shook his head, leisurely saying,

"Also, you can stop pretending. Even if I were to report, I wouldn’t use the name of Jiatiange as a guarantee."

"..."

After a moment of silence, the serenity in Tianyan’s face dissipated. She pouted and asked softly,

"How did you figure it out?"

Xu Yuan blinked at her and laughed,

"Because you don’t understand Tian Ye, even the best performance can only imitate her form, not her essence."

Tianyan’s expression turned cold, and she sneered,

"Ha... so, it seems you understand her quite well?"

Observing a certain coldness in her, Xu Yuan remained calm and leisurely laughed,

"My memories are incomplete. Naturally, I do not understand her, but I do know that she would not ask such a question."

Tianyan’s expression softened somewhat, though her eyes still carried an inquiry.

Xu Yuan shrugged and said,

"That Enchantress is more like an elusive witness than a confidante."

"...Witness?"

"Haven’t you noticed her habits these days?"

"Enough with the nonsense!"

"Alright, alright."

Facing her fierce gaze, Xu Yuan saluted in a French military style and said with a leisurely laugh,

"Aside from ensuring my safety, that Enchantress spends most of her time scheming to mess with your and my mentality, never providing any actual assistance."

Having said that, a trace of helplessness flickered in Xu Yuan’s narrow eyes as he softly spoke,

"As a Saintess of Jiatiange, you should be aware of how terrifying the foundation was before the disruption, and you should also realize how much Tian Ye could influence the current situation if she truly wished to intervene, right?"

Compared to Tian Ye’s ten breaths of transformation time, the intelligence she holds is the main act, which might even be capable of affecting the entire situation of the Great Desert.

If the Enchantress was truly sincere in helping him, many matters would be resolved easily, without the need for such complications.

Like how the Mu Clan Commerce Guild used what Secret Technique to seize the Bug Saint’s bloodline, or how Mu Xingyi managed to Break Saint in just one month’s time.

Tian Ye knows a lot. She could even use the Willow Ghost Blade to reverse-locate the whereabouts of Mu Xingyi and his family.

But she just quietly enjoys it from the sidelines, like an indifferent observer.

As if watching a movie, the Enchantress watches his every choice, watches his rises and falls in this world.

These days, Xu Yuan occasionally felt the urge to seek Tian Ye’s opinion, but he held back.

Because she knows if Tian Ye really helped him, then she would no longer be the Enchantress who could break his defenses.

Sensing the complexity in him, Tianyan subconsciously bit her lip, her gaze somewhat resentful, yet she said nothing.

In the Enchantress Divine Illusion Realm, this bastard was convincing many beauties of his charm by using this meticulous observation ability.

She despised this side of him.

But then again,

If Xu Yuan didn’t have such observational skills, she wouldn’t be so captivated by him.

This guy, indeed, is a thorough scoundrel...

"Snap."

A sudden snapping of fingers brought Tianyan back to reality. She gave him a annoyed glare,

"What now?"

Xu Yuan looked at her with a beaming smile, saying with a light laugh,

"We can’t fly forward anymore."

"Why not?"

"Haven’t you noticed the change in the Energy Mechanism around us?"

Amused, Xu Yuan escaped the bond of Origin Qi between them and while descending to the ground, he laughed out loud,

"The airspace around Zhenxi Prefecture City has been restricted. Let’s walk the remaining distance; in times like these, it’s best we conceal our identities."

The two landed, Zhang Yuan’s vigorous wind kicking up a wild storm of flying sand. Tianyan rolled her eyes, waved her sleeve to disperse the sand, and glared at him annoyedly,

"Must you always make such a scene every time we land, thinking it looks cool?"

Xu Yuan gave an awkward smile.

Having his adolescent habits directly called out, he felt somewhat embarrassed.

Tianyan was pleased with his reaction, hooked her red lips, paused, and then turned to ask,

"Xu Yuan, what exactly are you planning next?"

"Are you referring to the Mu Xingyi family, or the current situation in the Great Desert?"
