Anyang remind him: No, you don't know everyone in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity…
No Hai said, "It is a certain Ling Feiyang. But we don't know if this is actually his real name or not or which celestial cultivation sect is he from. Maybe the real him is lurking in the shadows."
All of a sudden, Ji Yuan was blinking his golden eyes. "What did you just say? Ling Feiyang?!"
Ling Feiyang was of course Ling Feiyue's alias.
No Hai asked curiously, "Is something wrong?"
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
He had suddenly remembered that Ling Feiyue had jokingly told him when they were taking the trial inside the Sword Lotus Mansion Trial that she was the leader of the Black Hand Guild and he had laughed it off.
No Hai asked him curiously, "Brother Ji Yuan. You know him? You are able to defeat him?"
Ji Yuan muttered weakly, "I do know him but I did not know that he is the leader of the Black Guild Hand. 'He' is also surrounded by many top cultivators and it won't be easy to defeat 'him'."
He had wanted to tell No Hai that Ling Feiyang is actually the Dark Mistress Ling Feiyue and that her lord was himself.
Ji Yuan said to Anyang and Xiang Li in his soul sea, "Ling Feiyue! So this is your dark secret! If I found out that you are the one that wanted to kill me 200 years ago, I won't forgive you!
Anyang was startled: My lord, you are serious?
Xiang Li whispered to Anyang: You can only listen to half of what Big Brother is saying. He may just end up banging Maiden Ling Feiyue as punishment…
Anyang: ???
Xiang Li giggled as she explained: Big Brother changes his mind every day. He is just laying all the possibilities to mislead everyone and then he would say that they are all wrong instead of himself.
Anyang muttered: Our lord sure has an organized mind…
Ji Yuan was suddenly muttering to himself in his soul sea: Hmm, but Ling Feiyue did tell me that she is the Black Hand Guild's leader but I didn't believe her at that time and even mock her instead. It is actually my fault for not questioning her at that time…
Xiang Li giggled to Anyang: See!
Ji Yuan went on to murmur: But I am alive after all so there is no harm that is being done…
Anyang rolled her eyes sheepishly as she looked at Xiang Li: I got you now, perfectly. I am just amazed how you can read our lord so perfectly.
Xiang Li began to giggle nonstop when she had heard Anyang.
Ji Yuan was now murmuring to himself: Maybe, someone is out to get my Ling Feiyue and is framing her so that we will fight with each other instead... how devious!
Xiang Li giggled to Anyang: He is into his conspiracy theory mode now.
Anyang: ...
No Hai had suddenly asked Ji Yuan, "Brother Ji Yuan, is something wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Ji Yuan pretended to say nonchalantly as he pretended to be as cool as the cultivation MCs that he had read, "Nothing. It is just that I do not want to speculate on this yet until I can find out more about this."
He was thinking: The readers will never know about the thoughts of the Cultivation MCs until the very last minute because he is always right. So, I have to pretend to be as cool as possible.
Naturally Anyang and Xiang Li were both able to hear Ji Yuan's thoughts since he was speaking loudly to himself.
Anyang muttered to Xiang Li: I totally see what you mean now. Why are men so complicated?
Ji Yuan was thinking loudly: Alas, why is a maiden so complicated to understand?
