Chapter 289.3: Early Summer Snow

Cang Jian scoffed disdainfully and then said in a sinister voice: “Go ahead and deny it all you want. Just hope that you will be able to defend yourself so confidently when I come to bring out the evidence to prove it!”

“The Grand Priest can do as you please.” Qing Yu replied with a smile, extending a hand out to show an inviting gesture.

Cang Jian’s face turned dark as charcoal, and with a vicious flick of his sleeves, he turned himself around and left in a huff.

It looked like he was more than a little infuriated.

Qing Yu shook her head and went on to stride away as well. As she walked, she could not help but to lift a hand up to rub her chin thoughtfully, and mumbled softly to herself: “Have I done anything to give myself away at all? I don’t think so….. My acting had clearly been flawlessly perfect…..”

But it seems like this Cang Jian is not someone that’s easy to deceive!

To think that he was able to sense that things were not what they seemed. She can only hope that she would not be exposed in front of Qing Luo Yan before the Mind Free Peak manifests itself.

Wonder how Mother is doing now…..

Qing Yu slowly raised her head up, to gaze at the moon hanging up in the night sky, a faint tinge of worry showing between her brows. She just could not help but feel….. that something bad was going to happen.

— Cloud Heaven’s intersecting borders —

A good number of people have gathered here. People from the Five Great Powers except for the Bright Moon Divine Temple had their people present. The divine temple was afterall a place that felt a little mysterious to the people outside and they would naturally not send their people here in advance.

When night fell, it was exceptionally quiet everywhere, where even the sound of birds and insects were absent, just the occasional sound of hushed whispering voices.

In the tent, Zhuge Xiong was grumbling softly, his good looking countenance tightly creased up, the indigance he felt showing clearly on his face.

As the mighty top boss of the Hunters Guild, reduced to being made to sleep out here in the wilderness and in a crude and ratty tent such as this. He was even very nearly bitten earlier, by a low level spirit beast who must have been blind to know who he was.

And that had caused his already gloomy mood to grow more depressed.

It must be said that such trifling stuff should be handled by his subordinates but that man Qing Tian Lin just had to drag him along. If not for that irresistibly tempting offer made, he would never subject himself to endure such suffering.

Looking at the man’s gloomy expression, Qing Tian Lin could not help but laugh out loud. “Come on, there are so many people here and you’re not the only one. Moreover, it won’t be just you as the leaders of the other great powers will definitely come here personally as well. For you to have come here earlier than them, wouldn’t that allow you to familiarize yourself with the terrain better, so that we can think of ways to let us go in first?”
