Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries Chapter 238: A Familiar Presence

Xia Mian squinted her eyes, "Sothing’s not right."

Qin Cui hurried along, never once looking back!

Could it be that she hadn’t considered that her conspicuous departure might draw attention, that soone might follow her?

Qin Cui’s figure was already fading into the distance ahead, Xia Mian pursed her lips slightly, "Let’s follow and see."

Even if there’s truly a trap, she couldn’t possibly choose to stay put, knowing Qin Cui was about to et the Great Elder of the Divine Clan.

Lu Zechuan nodded, and the two of them followed once more.

This ti, they were extrely cautious, minding their steps.

Xuandu Mountain, unlike Yukun Mountain, thrived not with boundless Spiritual Energy but rather with a pervasive chill, an unsettling air.

Xia Mian had left a Tracking Talisman on Qin Cui, so even if she couldn’t see Qin Cui’s shadow now, she could still pinpoint Qin Cui’s location with the talisman.

However, the terrain of the rear mountains of Xuandu was convoluted, tangled like a labyrinth.

Although Xia Mian had locked onto Qin Cui’s position, she was unable to maneuver out of the rear mountains!

Xia Mian halted, lost in thought.

In that mont of pause, Lu Zechuan suddenly cast a deep glance behind her.

There was an unsettling feeling, as though unseen eyes were watching them from the shadows.

Just as this thought erged, Xia Mian’s heart suddenly jumped, her body instinctively bending forward, narrowly evading a swell of energy that sliced through the rock before her!

Had she been a second slower, she would have been halved!

Xia Mian’s eyes instantly turned cold; she had fallen into soone else’s trap!

Lu Zechuan’s face also darkened in a flash; his gut feeling was right, there was indeed soone watching them!

Having evaded the deadly strike, Xia Mian swiftly launched a counterattack.

She had encountered such a situation before, a mirror life.

Now, both she and Lu Zechuan were like pieces on a chessboard, observed by soone beyond the ga!

Ah, familiar tactics!

Xia Mian’s eyes narrowed slightly, pondering, which Mystic Sect had produced such a Gu Xiang?

While her mind raced, her hands weren’t idle—they quickly made seals, golden talismans forming mid-air, flying outward!

In the VIP room at the Xuandu Mountain auction, a man cloaked from head to toe stood, gazing at the sand table before him.

On the sand table were two tiny figures.

At this mont, those tiny figures looked like ants, lost in a maze, hitting one wall after another.

Standing behind the cloaked man was Qin Cui, her face gloomy, eyes fixed on the sand table, "It was her who killed our daughter."

The cloaked man’s face was hidden inside the massive hood, eyes bitterly fixed on the sand table, "I will make her pay."

As he spoke, his finger lightly tapped the sand table.

With his movent, a gale erupted on the sand table, stones tumbling down.

Qin Cui watched this scene, a thin smile of satisfaction crept into her eyes, "Bitch, if my daughter couldn’t have it, neither will you!"

As Qin Cui finished speaking, clouds suddenly cloaked the sand table, hiding everything from view.

The cloaked man furrowed his brows, an air of gravity settling around him.

He had never encountered such a situation before.

"What is going on?" Qin Cui asked, worried, glancing at the cloaked man.

The cloaked man squinted his eyes, gaze intensely fixed on the sand table, "Those two have so skill."

To think they had already seen through his mirror life, making rapid adjustnts.

"You can’t defeat them?" Qin Cui asked, doubtful.

Facing Qin Cui’s skepticism, the cloaked man’s face tensed, "Heh, this is mirror life; within it, they are rely pawns on a board controlled by !"

As the cloaked man finished speaking, he waved his hand, dispersing the clouds over the sand table.

But after the clouds dissipated, he and Qin Cui were shocked to find that the little figures were nowhere to be seen!

"Gone!" Qin Cui’s eyes widened, "How could they just vanish?"

Just as Qin Cui said this, a light chuckle ca from behind, "Are you looking for us?"

This voice was unmistakable to Qin Cui. Her neck stiffly turned, revealing Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan standing side by side at the VIP room entrance.

How had they found this place?!

Ignoring the shock in Qin Cui’s eyes, Xia Mian smirked coldly, "Thanks to your relentless pursuit, exposing your killing intent, we sensed your location."

Upon sensing Qin Cui’s position, Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan had employed the Invisible Door, appearing in the auction’s VIP room in the blink of an eye.

"The aura you carry feels sowhat familiar," Xia Mian’s gaze shifted towards the cloaked man, "From which family?"

With Xia Mian’s gaze upon him, the cloaked man quivered involuntarily.

"Grand Ancestor..." the cloaked man spoke, and his knees gave way, collapsing to the ground.

Grand Ancestor?

This familiar term, so nostalgic.

Xia Mian’s eyes narrowed as she watched, the cloaked man tremblingly removed his cloak, revealing a fair complexion of a middle-aged man.

Xia Mian glanced at him, she didn’t recognize this person.

But his identity was nearly certain, a Yukun Mountain disciple.

During her last visit to Yukun Mountain, she hadn’t t this man, so who exactly was he?

"Who are you?" Xia Mian’s gaze fell on the cloaked man, asking calmly.

"I... I am an Outer Disciple received by the old Sect Leader of Yukun Mountain years past..." Under Xia Mian’s oppressively commanding eyes, the cloaked man dared not relax.

This Grand Ancestor of Yukun Mountain has a capricious nature, a presence hard to pin down, and was known especially for her enigmatic pig-eating-tiger gas across worlds.

Though unsure how this Grand Ancestor beca the Divine Clan’s lady, he would never forget that face.

On the night the old Sect Leader accepted him as an Outer Disciple, he spent it worshipping the portrait repeatedly, told over and over that the person in the image was Yukun Mountain’s Grand Ancestor, to whom utmost respect must be shown.

Otherwise, should the Grand Ancestor get angry, he’d deserve to be slaughtered!

The cloaked man dared not hide any secrets, ensuring he revealed everything.

An Outer Disciple of Yukun Mountain, cast out by Sect Leader Su Yu for wrongdoing, subsequently roaming the realms, and taking on a worldly apprentice, Gu Xiang.

Though he taught Gu Xiang so Taoist Skills, that apprentice was unskilled, bringing sha upon him, eventually leading to expulsion.

Xia Mian nodded slightly; things she hadn’t understood suddenly fell into place.
