Yang Kai stroked his chin, “I haven’t met her in years, but she remains the same.”
[As expected, Luan Bai Feng is alive as well.] Yang Kai already had this speculation when he saw that Xin Peng was still safe and sound. Xin Peng’s words had also confirmed his speculation.
Luan Bai Feng was still alive, but for some reason, their names had disappeared from the Loyalty List.
Furthermore, Xin Peng’s reaction suggested that he wasn’t aware of this fact; otherwise, he wouldn’t have remained so calm and collected.
If he knew that his name had disappeared from the Loyalty List, he would’ve become flustered the moment he saw Yang Kai; however, even though he appeared slightly nervous, he wasn’t afraid one bit as he still behaved like usual.
Could Yang Kai’s other speculation be wrong?
He initially thought that a senior expert had made a move to help remove Luan Bai Feng and Xin Peng’s names from the Loyalty List; however, it didn’t seem to be the case now.
Xin Peng could only smile in response as he didn’t have the audacity to say anything when Yang Kai remarked on Luan Bai Feng’s behaviour.
He secretly took a glance at the ladies behind Yang Kai and realised that he didn’t know them either; however, these women were all beautiful in their own ways. He couldn’t help but think that the Sect Master was truly lucky to be always surrounded by such women.
Yang Kai already had several wives at home, but he still managed to bring back three more!
Xin Peng went on to say, “Where have you been all these years, Sect Master? It was rumoured that you had entered the Chaotic Dead Territory. While everyone thought that you were dead, Elder Luan and I knew that you were still alive, and you would emerge sooner or later.”
Yang Kai’s safety would have a direct impact on Xin Peng and the others. Since they were still alive, it meant that nothing had happened to Yang Kai.
Therefore, when the rumour spread that Yang Kai had lost his life in the Chaotic Dead Territory, the people whose names were on the Loyalty List knew that he was still alive. With that said, they had been apprehensive as well, for the Chaotic Dead Territory was known to be a dangerous place. They were worried that Yang Kai would be doomed to die sooner or later.
If something happened to Yang Kai, all of them would lose their lives as well.
Xin Peng was genuinely pleased when he saw Yang Kai appearing in front of him as he could finally be at ease.
Yang Kai nodded, “I did come across some accidents. Since you’re going to buy wine for Elder Luan, you should go now. I’ll be waiting for you here, and we’ll enter Black Territory together.”
After hesitating for a moment, Xin Peng asked inquisitively, “Why don’t I send you into Black Territory first?”
“There’s no need for that.” Yang Kai waved his hand.
It was then Xin Peng left the place in a hurry. It was apparent that he wanted to buy the wine and return quickly.
As Yang Kai watched him leave, he asked the others, “Did you see anything unusual?”
Luo Ting He shook her head, “There’s nothing unusual about his behaviour. Although he was nervous, it was only about as much as a subordinate would be when dealing with their leader.”
Qu Hua Shang nodded, “I don’t see anything wrong with him either.”
The fact that there was nothing off about Xin Peng suggested that something must have gone wrong somewhere else.
Yang Kai suddenly had a feeling that the matter regarding Black Territory was more complicated than he thought.
Tao Ling Wan parted her lips, as though she was trying to say something, but she couldn’t bring herself to speak in the end. Seeing that, Qu Hua Shang asked with a smile, “Do you see anything unusual about that person, Senior Sister Tao?”
Yang Kai instantly turned to look at her.
A blushing Tao Ling Wan said in a small voice, “It seems that he isn’t aware that his name has disappeared from the Loyalty List…”
Yang Kai arched his brow, “Why do you say so?”
Tao Ling Wan replied, “If he were aware of it, he would’ve been apprehensive. T-That’s because the fact that his name has disappeared from the Loyalty List suggests that he has betrayed you. In that case, he should have been afraid when he saw you.”
