Lin Feng decided to change the subject, she didnât have to worry about it, or she might connect the dots, "Leave it, senior sister, I think the sect is preparing for a full frontal attack in one single wave, instead of dragging it into longer battles. If it really is the case, then we would need those pills."
He just made it up on the spot, but it wasnât unbelievable, so she wouldnât doubt it.
As expected, Xie Ruyue nodded, "You might be right, junior brother."
While walking towards Tianping City, Lin Feng initiated some small talk, but his mind was still focused on the Crimson Vein Serpent beast cores, he controlled his expression to not look like he was thinking.
His mind was focused on what kind of pill one could make with that beast core, with his knowledge, he was able to deduce multiple effects a pill could have with it as a main ingredient.
He tried multiple combinations of spirit herbs in his mind, adding them in different quantities, removing some and using others, but he wasnât able to discover anything extraordinary.
"That expression, junior, I know itâs fake, if you donât like talking to me, then tell me, I wonât disturb you," Xie Ruyue could feel his fake smiles quite easily now.
When Lin Feng heard that, he was surprised but not very much, they had spent quite a lot of time at the stall, and given the way he had acted all this time in front of her, it was pretty obvious that she had understood him much deeper than he thought.
If he didnât put on a genuine act in front of her, then she would definitely be able to catch it.
She had a really good ability to judge people, her heart was calm, so it helped her to pick up on the most unnoticeable details.
"Sigh... senior sister, itâs not like that, I was just thinking of whom to take as a partner. Since I told Elder Yan I would do so in one month, I will stay true to my words," he said while shaking his head, he lied, but he doubted she would be able to catch it.
Xie Ruyue sighed inwardly, "Whatâs the problem, just pick someone, itâs not like you want them to become your permanent partner anyway."
Although she said it, she didnât quite like the idea of him picking someone else as a partner, she sighed at this feeling again, itâs been a while since she had felt it.
Lin Feng shook his head and didnât comment back on it, should he genuinely pursue her? He had a feeling she would accept him, but without knowing about him, she would definitely get heartbroken badly.
After spending this much time with her, he didnât want to do that to her. He really considered her a friend now.
They walked a few minutes in silence before they arrived at Tianping Cityâs gate.
Before they entered, Xie Ruyue took out a veil and wore it. Lin Feng suddenly remembered that he wasnât wearing any mask, it seemed he would have to buy one today, or he would keep forgetting about it.
They entered easily, as disciples of the Yin Yang Harmony Sect were exempted from the entry fee. As they walked on the busy streets, many people began to notice Lin Feng.
Lin Feng shook his head internally, "Senior sister, where can I buy a good mask?"
Xie Ruyue was amused, "Why do you want to wear one, junior brother, wearing a mask for a Yin Yang Harmony Sect disciple is frowned upon."
Lin Feng stopped and specifically looked at her veil, "Then how come you are wearing one, senior sister?"
Xie Ruyue smiled mischievously beneath her veil, "I said mask, junior brother, not veil, so if you want a veil, then I can give you one."
Lin Fengâs lips twitched hearing that, he didnât have a comeback for that.
"Hehehehe... Alright, alright... actually, itâs true, disciples of our sect donât use masks and veils. It is just that I donât care about it, so I wear one."
Lin Feng nodded, well, if that was the case, then he wouldnât wear one either, itâs good this way, since he was a womanizer, he should stay like this until his mission was accomplished.
They kept moving towards the central area of the city where most of the big shops and pavilions were located, along with the teleportation array.
Lin Feng suddenly thought of something and decided to see how she would react to some unusual questions, "Senior sister, I want to ask you something, I hope you donât mind."
Xie Ruyue was a little amused, "I doubt anything you ask of me would be outrageous enough to irk me. I donât even mind your dirty jokes, junior brother."
Lin Feng nodded, he knew she wouldnât get angry, "Senior sister, tell me, how much attachment do you feel to the sect?" He really wanted to see if she had developed any feelings for the sect itself.
When you live in a particular sect for long enough, you begin considering it as home, and sometimes leaving it becomes an emotional shackle on you.
Xie Ruyue frowned, it really wasnât something she was expecting, "Junior brother, by any chance, has Elder Yan told you to test my loyalty?" Although she said this, she herself doubted that it was the case.
Lin Feng understood why she would say that, she had definitely been put in many situations that would have tested her loyalty, after all, she wasnât treated the way she wanted in the sect, and the elders must have been worried about it previously, now they might not do something like that, but his question must have invoked those feelings in her.
He shook his head and became a little serious, "No, senior sister, I see that you misunderstood my intentions. You see, we are going to have a war with the Frozen Heart Sect, no doubt about it.
No matter what trump card we have, there will never be a 100 percent possibility of winning the war."
