Chapter 275: Chapter 160: The Ins and Outs

“Who’s there?”

Yang Xiaoyun watched as Yu Lingxin’s pupils faintly contracted.

Although this woman was merely standing there, her figure seemed to blend into one with the rocks under her feet and the trees behind her.

As if she could disappear into them at any moment, leaving not a trace behind.

At the same time, within those cold, detached eyes of hers lurked an extremely profound killing intent.

This killing intent wasn’t aimed at them, but rather a deep accumulation, as if her years and her entire life were enshrouded in this murderous aura.

Contained but unreleased, like the water in a deep well.

If it were to burst forth, it would undoubtedly cause a massive upheaval.

Yu Lingxin glanced at Yang Xiaoyun, slightly raised her eyebrows, and chose to sit down, exhaling a gentle breath:

“My name is Yu Lingxin.”

She didn’t hide her name from Yang Xiaoyun, even though, in her view, her own name was akin to a taboo.

For some, it was a death warrant potent enough to kill.

However, facing Yang Xiaoyun, she didn’t conceal it.

Not just because of some indistinct complications, but more so because Su Mo already knew.

Even if she didn’t say it, Su Mo would simply have to imply it, and he would tell her all the same.

“Yu Lingxin?”

Yang Xiaoyun paused for a moment: “Yunwu Mountain, Cangfeng Valley… Your surname is Yu?”

Yu Lingxin’s lips curved into a slight, rather stern smile.

Feeling that this smile was somewhat inappropriate, she subconsciously rubbed her face again and turned to look at Su Mo:

“Did you come here following him? You should know that if I call out now, you won’t be able to hide.”

“If you wanted to shout, you would have done so already, why wait until now?”

Su Mo said with a smile: “Since you haven’t called out, could we perhaps have a talk?”

“…”

Yu Lingxin gently shook her head: “What do you want to talk about?”

“About this place, about him.”

“He wouldn’t like it if people were discussing him behind his back.”

“Then let’s talk about this place.”

Su Mo spoke indifferently: “Did you all… go to Yuliu Manor?”

At this point, Su Mo’s eyes were filled with solemnity.

Yu Lingxin looked at him with slight surprise and then suddenly laughed:

“They say you’re different from your father, but as I see it now, you’re exactly alike… We didn’t go to Yuliu Manor.

“Liu Suifeng wanted to kill and silence others that day, and you stopped him. Given that, we naturally wouldn’t allow your words to be in vain.

“Besides, why take maps so seriously?”

This statement cleared up many of Su Mo’s doubts.

Just as Li Siyun had said: the map, the Golden Jade Cone, the Mandarin Duck List.

Only when combined could they unlock the Secret Storage.

The Three Extremes Sect knew only the whereabouts of the Mandarin Duck List; they wouldn’t go to such lengths to get the Golden Jade Cone from the Heavenly Blade Sect.

They did so because they obtained not only the Mandarin Duck List but also that map.

But if that map really was the one hidden in Yuliu Manor, unless they killed Liu Suifeng, it would be too difficult for them to obtain it.

Combining the information about the Yu Family’s Old Land and the sighting of that map by the Qilin Swordsman,

Su Mo concluded that the map was a fake.

From beginning to end, this matter had been an orchestration between Yang Yizhi and his sister Yu Lingxin.

Yu Lingxin and the Qilin Swordsman, through some means, had passed a fake map to the Three Extremes Sect.

Ultimately leading them to Cangfeng Valley, the Yu Family’s Old Land.

The Three Extremes Sect had gone to the Heavenly Blade Sect for this purpose, initiating a plan years in the making, and obtained the Golden Jade Cone.

Taking advantage of this, they also sought out Li Siyun to acquire the Mandarin Duck List.

All these plans, however, met an obstacle right here.

The Mandarin Duck List ended up in Su Mo’s hands, and through twists and turns, was given to Yang Yizhi.

Yang Yizhi deliberately lost the Mandarin Duck List and followed the Liu Yun Scholar to Cangfeng Valley. On one hand, he aimed to capture the Liu Yun Scholar, and on the other hand, his real purpose was probably to deal with the Three Extremes Sect!

Thus, the true aim behind Yang Yizhi’s elaborate efforts came to light.

Su Mo had his suspicions when he saw the Qilin Swordsman and followed them all the way here.

He thought he might have to wait until the people from the Three Extremes Sect made their striking appearance to confirm his doubts.

Unexpectedly, Yu Lingxin, with her ghostly unpredictable Concealing Breath, managed to deceive Su Mo’s senses and appeared beside them.

And she honestly disclosed the affair.

However, another point from Yu Lingxin’s words also took Su Mo by surprise.

For a moment, his expression was complex: “You knew my father too?”

“Come with me.”

Yu Lingxin leapt down from the rock: “Advancing further is the perimeter of the Luofeng Alliance’s sentries, though you’ve likely detected them already. But even if you recklessly break through, you won’t gain any useful information.”

Su Mo’s eyebrows rose as he watched Yu Lingxin enter the woods and then glanced at Yang Xiaoyun.

Yang Xiaoyun nodded slightly.

Only then did Su Mo lead Yang Xiaoyun and Zhen Xiaoxiao into the trees.

As for why he didn’t ask for Zhen Xiaoxiao’s opinion… in truth, except for when it came to eating, this girl had no opinion on anything.

Yu Lingxin knew the surrounding terrain like the back of her hand, intricate as a pattern in her palm.

After a few twists and turns, they heard the roar of water; there was a waterfall here.

The waterfall was especially icy in the winter, yet Yu Lingxin went straight through the waterfall, entering a cave within.
