Shen Yunya watched Feng Tianlan, who appeared impassive, neither arrogant nor humble. She could not help but harbored some doubts in her heart, so she smiled as she asked, “Miss Feng is truly unique, as you do not seem to have much curiosity or admiration for the Supremacy.”
To the Guiyuan Continent, the Xuantian Continent possessed a god-like status, yet Feng Tianlan did not express any sense of novelty, intense admiration, or great respect. Her attitude was truly baffling.
Feng Tianlan’s heart tightened, but she remained calm. “To me, Your Supremacy is also a human, moreover, Supreme Jin has helped me exterminate my enemies before, so I don’t feel the need to be curious or be greatly awed anymore.”
Shen Yunya had always been like this, very meticulous and careful. She was detailed in her observations and if one was not careful, she would easily see right through them.
“So that’s why.” Shen Yunya nodded her head, showing that she understood and quickly explained Xi Jin’s actions with a patronizing smile. “Brother Jin has always been generous and gentle; he must have helped you unintentionally.”
Feng Tianlan raised her teacup naturally and gently sipped from it, swallowing the hatred that rose like bile in her heart. She had to ensure that she was not giving herself away.
“I have heard that Miss Feng used to be good-for-nothing, but your spiritual force upgraded quickly because of an amazing encounter. That made those around you very envious.” Shen Yunya maintained her smile as if she was only envious of the amazing encounter.
The old Feng Tianlan had been good-for-nothing, but this changed entirely overnight, and she became capable of cultivating multiple elements. This split-second change was what made Shen Yunya somewhat worried.
“This has been destined from birth and had nothing to do with an amazing encounter while I was a good-for-nothing.” Feng Tianlan’s tone was calm yet arrogant, even though she was speaking the truth.
Shen Yunya stared at her for a while, the doubts in her heart still lingering as did the friendly smile on her face. “Can I call you Tianlan? Let’s be friends.”
“Friends of Supreme Jin are not people who I feel I can be friends with,” Feng Tianlan replied lightly, as usual, expressing at the same time her disdain for Xi Jin since she believed what Shen Yunya wanted to probe into was her feelings for Xi Jin.
Shen Yunya laughed awkwardly. “Actually, Brother Jin is a very good man, he only helped your sister, Pei’er, because she looked like my Elder Sister.”
Feng Tianlan leaned back lazily and did not reply, even though her heart was wound up like a tight string, as if she could guess what would be said next but knew that she had to try her best to conceal her emotions.
Shen Yunya spoke with a light smile as if she was immersed in her memories, but her gaze continued to stay fixed on Feng Tianlan. Her eyes did not blink as she carefully noted her every small move and every tiny change in her facial expressions.
“Brother Jin loved my sister and listened to her every word and took her advice. After my sister passed away due to illness, he was devastated. If not for the bowl of dumplings my sister left behind while she was still alive, he would have already forgotten my sister. A dedicated and faithful man like this cannot possibly be evil.”
As she listened to this, Feng Tianlan’s heart became so tensed that a mouthful of fresh blood almost came up her throat, but she forced herself to swallow it. Her face remained impassive as she looked at Shen Yunya. “What does this have to do with me?”
“Sister’s dumplings were so delicious, I wish I could ask her to prepare those dumplings again so that Brother Jin can become happy again.” As she said these words, Shen Yunya smiled innocently, and her countenance appeared to be gentle and lovely.
Feng Tianlan raised her eyes to meet Shen Yunya’s, and asked emotionlessly, “Why is Your Supremacy telling me about these things?”
Shen Yunya’s thoughts were too difficult to figure out. At this moment she did not know what to say and felt that the more she said, the more likely she was to make a mistake.
“Do you know the reason why we have come to the Guiyuan Continent this time?” After Feng Tianlan nodded, Shen Yunya proceeded to question with a smile, “I want to bring Miss Feng back with me, are you willing to come along?”
