An Jiuyue looked at Qian Jiyun and said in a deep voice, “So this is really what they’re up to.”
It seemed like she had to prioritize refining the Nine Suns Pills. Otherwise, if Xue Fangyang were to go crazy and come after them one day, they might not be able to handle him.
Qian Jiyun narrowed his eyes and looked at Fu Ming. “Did you hear them say that?”
“Yes! I’m not sure what happened between them, but they were arguing inside the tent about who leaked this information. I happened to be outside the tent and overheard it,” Fu Ming said.
“Fortunately, I was vigilant enough to quickly suppress my aura. Otherwise, I might not have been able to return.”
Shang Ningyi, let alone Xue Fangyang, would not let him off considering he had heard such a significant piece of news, right? Hence, he returned hastily. “Did anyone see you go to Camp Ning Se?” An Jiuyue asked immediately.
“Uh.” Fu Ming was rendered speechless.
Camp Ning Se was far from empty. How could he have gone unnoticed?
Even if Fu Ming did not leave in time today, it seemed like he would not be able to benefit from Shang Ningyi in the future. Thankfully, he left in time. Otherwise, he might have lost his life there.
“Second Brother, I’ll have to rely on you in the future. Give more support to my camp,” he said as he looked at Qian Jiyun pitifully.
“Huff!” Qian Jiyun sighed heavily.
He did not take Fu Ming’s words to heart. Would he not care about Fu Ming if Shang Ningyi did not “support” him? Obviously not.
“When did you hear their conversation?” he asked Fu Ming.
Fu Ming thought about it carefully and replied, “In the morning, when it was almost time for lunch to be ready.”
Qian Jiyun tightened his grip on the table and glanced at An Jiuyue. An Jiuyue glanced at him too, and they understood each other.
That was when they killed Elder Ji and the other two and burned them on the spot.
Hence, Elder Ji and Xue Fangyang resonated in some way, which explained why Xue Fangyang learned about Elder Ji’s death immediately.
Fortunately, Xue Fangyang and Shang Ningyi’s argument suggested that they did not know who killed Elder Ji and the others.
It would save them a lot of trouble if they could only resonate and not transmit information.
“So, Second Sister-in-Law, are you really the successor of the inter-plane travelers?” Fu Ming lowered his voice and asked An Jiuyue carefully.
The successor of the inter-plane travelers had a godly status at Huayan Peak. They had the freedom to traverse any plane, regardless of their level of power—and this person was right before him!
“Uh, well…” An Jiuyue was stunned.
She did not dare reply. After all, she was not the successor of the inter-plane travelers.
She stole a quick glance at Qian Jiyun, and seeing his lack of reaction, she was about to open her mouth and agree.
She wanted to help him fend off the disaster first. After all, she had her microcosmic space, and she could always hide inside whenever danger arose.
“You’re asking the wrong person.”
However, Qian Jiyun did not give her a chance to admit it and spoke to Fu Ming directly.
“Huh? I asked the wrong person?” Fu Ming was stunned and looked at his second brother.
“Stop joking. Who else could it be but Second Sister-in-Law? It can’t be you, Second Brother. Oh, right, since this concerns Second Sister-in-Law, I can ask you about it too. So you’re not wrong to say that..”
