第三千二百三十一章 奇怪的妙音仙子

Lin Xuan found himself in a dilemma, unable to make up his mind. Yet the cool gaze had already retreated.

Miaoyin Fairy Lady seemed unperturbed by the encounter; it was as if nothing had happened.

"What on earth is going on?"

Even with his extensive knowledge, Lin Xuan couldn't help but mumble to himself.

However, curiosity aside, this unexpected turn of events was exactly what he desired. He wouldn’t dwell on it further.

After such a significant change, most cultivators would not dare linger in the Dragon Den and Tiger Lair. But Lin Xuan was bold enough. Since Miaoyin Fairy Lady hadn't revealed her true identity, why should he be afraid?

Better to adapt to the situation and see how things unfold before making any decisions.

Although Lin Xuan guessed that Qinxin wouldn’t face immediate danger for a while, he wouldn’t let even half a chance slip by to save her from peril.

The speed of the beast cart was incredible; it had already vanished among the mountains in an instant.

At this moment, the other cultivators finally raised their heads. For ordinary cultivators, seeing a Great Transcendent Elder was a legendary experience. Everyone’s faces were filled with excitement today, even Zhou Ling.

She might be the granddaughter of the sect leader, but she was still at the Profound Origin stage; Great Transcendent Elders were out of her reach.

"Was that person who just passed by really Miaoyin Fairy Lady?"

Lin Xuan tried to probe further. Although he had a strong hunch from others' words, such matters couldn’t afford any mistakes, so he needed more confirmation.

"Yes, it was indeed Miaoyin Elder."

Zhou Ling’s tone was filled with admiration.

"Does Miaoyin Fairy Lady often appear before her disciples?"

"Not really. At the level of Great Transcendent Elders, they usually remain elusive. Today's encounter is a stroke of luck for us," the girl replied without any suspicion of Lin Xuan’s probing.

Lin Xuan asked more questions, and she answered everything he asked with no reservations. However, her knowledge about Miaoyin Fairy Lady was limited; she couldn’t even tell him what cultivation technique she practiced.

Despite his efforts, the information he gleaned from her was scarce.

Lin Xuan didn't dare ask too many questions to avoid arousing suspicion.

Thus, Lin Xuan spent his first day at Tianyin Palace in a state of alert but uneventful calm. He had expressed his intention to join the sect. As a Transcendent Realm cultivator, he wasn’t weak; Tianyin Palace wouldn't reject him outright. But becoming an official member would take some time.

According to the rules, Lin Xuan should have stayed at the guesthouse before joining. However, grateful for saving Zhou Ling’s life, she arranged another courtyard for him.

It was a tranquil valley with pleasant surroundings. Lin Xuan smiled in satisfaction.

Soon after, the sun set behind the hills. Lin Xuan continued his meditation indoors.

By chance, he had successfully arrived at Tianyin Palace headquarters. Originally, he planned to sneak out under cover of night to gather information.

But on the way, he encountered Miaoyin Fairy Lady. She recognized him but didn’t reveal her identity, which was very strange.

Lin Xuan couldn't figure it out and decided to be cautious.

Going out now might backfire; perhaps she had already set a trap. Although Lin Xuan was bold, he wasn’t rash.

In such uncertain circumstances, acting impulsively was unwise. He decided to wait and see.

The night was peaceful until three o'clock in the morning when the moon was bright and stars were few. Suddenly, Lin Xuan opened his eyes while meditating.

"Since you've arrived, why linger outside? A midnight visit; what can I do for you?"

"Haha, your divine awareness is formidable. Miaoyin has a keen grasp of concealment techniques. Ordinary early-stage Great Transcendent cultivators would be hard-pressed to detect me," came the melodious laughter.

The door creaked open, and Lin Xuan saw no one outside but only a gentle breeze.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan didn’t show any surprise; instead, he smiled: "A guest from afar. Are you testing me?"

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xuan wasn't being polite.

He took a deep breath, his eyes glowing with silver light as two beams shot out and struck the door where no one stood.

"Ouch."

The startled cry echoed, and the air distorted as a white figure appeared in front of him. It was a strikingly beautiful woman who looked somewhat disheveled but more shocked: "Friend, you actually have Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes?"

Lin Xuan was surprised too; it was indeed a Great Transcendent Elder who could so easily discern his secret technique.

The woman before him was clearly Miaoyin Fairy Lady.

Indeed, the world can be unpredictable. Just days ago, Lin Xuan wouldn’t believe he would meet her under such circumstances.

As a Great Transcendent Elder, she had preserved her youth; it was hard to tell how old she was, but she was undoubtedly beautiful with an icy demeanor that gave off a sinister vibe.

Lin Xuan’s emotions were complex. Due to Qinxin, he harbored no good feelings toward Miaoyin Fairy Lady and wished to extract her soul, yet in this situation, he had to be diplomatic.

Fighting here would be useless; she could summon countless experts with just a call.

Still, as long as he didn’t initiate anything, Miaoyin Fairy Lady wouldn't do so either. She was uncertain of his purpose for coming here.

During the day, she hadn’t revealed her identity but had secretly come to see him at night. What was her true intention?

Even with his extensive knowledge, Lin Xuan couldn’t figure it out now.

So he did nothing and prepared to listen to what she would say before making any moves.

Lin Xuan took a deep breath, suppressing his hatred, his face showing no signs of emotion as he smiled: "A guest from afar; why not come in?"

"Sure."

Miaoyin Fairy Lady agreed without hesitation and walked inside.
