Wen Ping wasn’t sure if it would alert the Half-Step Earth Unrestricted red-cloaked woman, so he hurriedly inquired with the system.
The system immediately responded, "The host can try to control it better. After all, your Spiritual Power is already in the Second Stage. Unlike the Perception state of the First Stage, as long as you release it, it will surely be detected."
"Mm-hmm."
Wen Ping wanted to see the face under the mask.
Who was his father?
He was sure his feeling wasn’t wrong.
Wen Ping immediately extended his Spiritual Power, but the extended Spiritual Power was as thin as a thread, sneaking through the cracks of the window. Wen Ping tried to slow down the extension of Spiritual Power so that the red-cloaked woman wouldn’t detect it.
Passing through the window frame.
Over the bookcase by the window.
And reaching the middle table.
Wen Ping remained extremely cautious all along.
Suddenly, the red-cloaked woman turned back.
Wen Ping’s Spiritual Power exploration halted abruptly.
"Has she noticed?"
Wen Ping controlled his Spiritual Power, trying not to let it ripple at all.
Fortunately, after the red-cloaked woman turned back, she found a spot to sit down, muttering, "I knew I wasn’t wrong to come. Although Heaven and Earth Lake doesn’t have good things, there are many interesting items."
Seeing the red-cloaked woman did not perceive anything amiss, Wen Ping continued to extend his Spiritual Power forward.
In almost one breath, the Spiritual Power was only a few centimeters short of one of the masks.
Wen Ping paused, uncertain what he was thinking at this moment.
After a while, Spiritual Power penetrated the mask, revealing the face beneath.
The first person, beneath the mask, was an unfamiliar face.
The second person, still an unfamiliar face.
The third person... was his father.
Just that the face wasn’t what it used to be.
The old face of his father, with authority tinged with some dominance, always made Wen Ping’s heart tremble.
And now his father’s face looked weary with an air of desolation.
The complexion wasn’t as good as it used to be.
The mental state was no longer the same either.
"Father, you’ve suffered..." Wen Ping’s eyes instantly moistened.
Just then, the red-cloaked woman suddenly stood up, threw a Storage Ring over, and said to the two slaves beside his father, "You two, put on what I bought and return to the lodging."
"Yes."
The two took the Storage Ring and left the room in steps.
Then, the red-cloaked woman also stood up, "Let’s go... By the way, here it’s just the two of us. Let me remind you once again, don’t forget your current identity. After we return, you can do whatever in front of my sister, but can you not implicate me? I tagged along with my brother on this trip. My brother is the top opponent of you being together, eager to kill you. It’s fine if you want to die, but don’t drag me, okay?"
"I’m sorry... but I seem to have sensed my son’s presence." Wen Yan hurriedly explained.
This woman was his wife’s sister.
She was also the one sent by his wife to take him there.
She counted as a relative, to a certain extent.
So there was nothing he couldn’t say.
The red-cloaked woman said, "Can you stop saying... you don’t have a son, no son, got it? If my brother and others find out, you’d definitely be silenced. Do you know what it means for the Long Family if someone unrecognized has Long Family blood running through their veins? Moreover, you’re overthinking. This is Vast City, tens of thousands of miles away from East Lake. Even if my nephew had a pair of wings, he couldn’t fly to Vast City."
