Chapter 944: Chapter 944: You sure know a lot

Lin Xi shook her head, "I’m sorry, Jian Shen needs my help right now, and I will not leave his side."

In response, the mysterious masked person was dismissive, "If I were to forcefully take you away, do you think you’d still be able to stay by Jian Shen’s side?"

"Even if you take me away, I will find every way possible to return to Jian Shen’s side," Lin Xi said determinedly, her posture one of uncompromising resolution.

But the mysterious masked person spoke with a dismissive tone, "Oh, is that so? You must stay by Jian Shen’s side at all cost, do you love him that much?"

"Yes, I love him very much, nothing can separate us, are you satisfied with that answer?" After Lin Xi finished speaking, she suddenly felt a strange sensation that this mysterious masked person seemed to have a specific interest in her and Jian Shen.

"Very well, one should indeed be like that when they love someone." The mysterious masked person crossed his arms and his eyes showed disdain, "Now, let me tell you, Gu Fan is in danger, do you still want to stay by Jian Shen’s side?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xi was shocked, "What, what did you say? Gu Fan is in danger, he..." Suddenly, Lin Xi realized something was wrong and furrowed her brows, "You’re playing me, Gu Fan is not in this era, how would you know he’s in danger?"

The mysterious masked person did not answer, but remained silent, which made Lin Xi more puzzled; hence, she hazarded a guess, "Unless you have something that allows you to freely travel through time and space."

"Lin Xi, you are quite intelligent, indeed I have a higher-end space-time door that allows me to freely move between different eras, but I didn’t go to the future to see Gu Fan’s danger," the mysterious masked person said, devoid of persuasive power, which made Lin Xi extremely skeptical.

The mysterious masked person added, "I didn’t go to the future, but does that mean Gu Fan cannot come to the ancient times?"

"What, Gu Fan came to ancient times?" This time, Lin Xi was flabbergasted, her eyes nearly popping out.

The mysterious masked person nodded, "That’s right, in order to bring you back to the future, Gu Fan risked coming to the ancient times, but he’s run into trouble and is currently in a perilous situation."

"Are you speaking the truth? Take me to him right now." Lin Xi couldn’t care less about everything else at this point, even though she felt the mysterious masked person was suspicious, she chose to believe him.

Just then, Jin Yi knocked on Lin Xi’s room door urgently, shouting, "It’s not good, Sister Qian Ye, my master has been forcibly practicing his advanced techniques again and his old injuries have recurred, please come and see him quickly."

"Right, I’m coming," Lin Xi immediately opened the door and rushed out, following Jin Yi to lead the way.

Now, only the mysterious masked person was left in the room, standing with his hands behind his back, silent and somewhat terrifying.

After a long time, Lin Xi returned and saw that the mysterious masked person was still there, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, "I apologize, I had some matters to attend to, can you take me to find Gu Fan now?"

"Take you to find Gu Fan? What about Jian Shen?" The mysterious masked person’s tone was filled with disdain, "Do you really know your own identity? Can you truly leave Jian Shen at the time he needs you the most?"

"You don’t need to provoke me with those words, I know my identity, I am Lin Xi, and I am not Qian Ye. Between Gu Fan and Jian Shen, I will choose Gu Fan without hesitation, but the question now is whether you are telling the truth about Gu Fan being in danger. Can you take me to him?" Lin Xi questioned sharply, causing the mysterious masked person to be somewhat stunned as if he did not expect Lin Xi to be able to say such words without hesitation.

"Alright, I will take you to find Gu Fan," said the mysterious masked person, who then opened the room door and stepped out. He looked back at Lin Xi and asked loudly, "What are you thinking about, aren’t you coming?"

"Of course I’m coming!" Lin Xi immediately followed, but her pace was slow, and even as she stepped out of the room, she couldn’t help but take a glance in the direction where Jian Shen’s room was.

The mysterious masked person noticed her hesitation and spoke again with a tone of disdain, "I thought you were resolute, but it seems it was just talk, you can’t bear to leave Jian Shen after all."

Lin Xi retorted directly, "Nonsense, if I, Lin Xi, were not at all concerned about what might happen to Jian Shen after leaving, then I would be a heartless and ungrateful person. Gu Fan would not like such a Lin Xi, either."

"Fine, fine, I won’t waste words with you anymore, you continue to stay here," said the mysterious masked person, seemingly tired of talking to Lin Xi and about to leave.

Lin Xi became urgent, "Wait a minute, didn’t you say Gu Fan has come to ancient times? Didn’t you say Gu Fan is in danger now? Didn’t you say you were going to take me to find Gu Fan?"

"Indeed, what I said earlier was true, but what I said later was false, I am not going to take you to find Gu Fan," the mysterious masked person admitted, nearly driving Lin Xi to fury. If she could not overpower him, she really wanted to kick him.

Lin Xi questioned, "What do you mean, one moment you say Gu Fan is in danger, the next you say you’ll take me to him, and then you say you won’t. Are you toying with me?"

"I don’t mean to toy with you, I simply changed my mind," the mysterious masked person looked earnestly at Lin Xi, then added another line, "Gu Fan is someone whose fate was changed by the Destiny Stone, since he has come to ancient times, he naturally has his mission. It’s true he’s in danger, but hasn’t he always turned peril into safety? Even if you don’t go, he will be fine."

Lin Xi acknowledged this point, yet she was still worried about Gu Fan and wanted to be by his side immediately, but at the same time, she couldn’t bear to leave Jian Shen’s side either.

"Wait, you... are you testing me?" Lin Xi looked at the mysterious masked person with suspicion, then added, "Now, at a time when Jian Shen needs me the most, you tell me Gu Fan is in danger to see what decision I will make."

The mysterious masked person did not answer but tacitly agreed.

Suddenly, Lin Xi launched a palm strike with a bursting Strong Wind, aiming to knock off the other person’s mask.

However, the mysterious masked person was well-prepared and swiftly grabbed Lin Xi’s wrist, causing her strike to go awry.

"You want to see my true face, very well, you will find out sooner or later..." The mysterious masked person released Lin Xi’s hand, then took a step back, a gust arose under his feet, he levitated, and flew away gracefully.

"No way, you can do this too?" Lin Xi was astonished as the mysterious masked person used a magic that allowed one to fly freely in the sky; this technique was only known to be inherited from Qian Ye and Qian Feng, with no third person being adept at it.
