Chapter: 5706

That time, she caught Lin Zhixu off guard from behind.

But this time, there is a mysterious person hiding behind her, so how could she expose herself to the opponent's gaze.

So, she could only keep a distance.

Wu Tianlin temporarily settled the three elders in the meeting hall and then hurriedly sought out Wu Feiyan.

After meeting, he quickly asked Wu Feiyan, "Your Majesty, you're acting so urgently to have me return. Is there some unexpected event?"

Wu Feiyan's expression was extremely gloomy, and she spoke coldly, "My identity has already been revealed."

"What?!" Wu Tianlin exclaimed in shock, asking, "Your Majesty... You haven't left this place for twenty years. Who could have revealed your identity? Could it be Ding Yuan Earl?"

Wu Feiyan shook her head: "It doesn't matter whether it's her or not, what's important is that person knows not only my identity but also my master and most importantly, he recognizes my venerable teacher!"

"Ah?!" Wu Tianlin took a step back in shock, exclaiming: "Your Venerable Teacher isn't already gone for over 300 years? How could someone still recognize him in this world?"

Wu Feiyan opened the short video on her phone and handed it to Wu Tianlin with a cold tone: "You can look at it yourself."

Wu Tianlin received the phone with reverence, carefully watched the video all the way through, and was shocked out of his wits, asking: "Your Majesty, is this... really your venerable teacher?"

"Yes," Wu Feiyan nodded slightly: "The person in the picture is my venerable teacher, Meng Changsheng. The artist has captured at least 90% of his essence."

As she spoke, Wu Feiyan continued: "I suspect that the other party probably recognized my venerable teacher even earlier than me, and this painting was done during the Tang Dynasty... It's possible that the other party or their ancestor already recognized my venerable teacher back then!"

"Tang Dynasty..." Wu Tianlin widened his eyes, muttering: "Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming... The time span is over a thousand years. If the other party really recognized your venerable teacher at that time, he would have already exceeded a thousand years old... if their ancestor recognized your venerable teacher, it would prove that they are a family of hidden sages who have passed down their legacy for over a thousand years..."

Wu Feiyan's expression became grave as she nodded slightly: "Now the other party knows my information, regardless of which kind you say, I don't look forward to it."

As she spoke again, Wu Feiyan asked: "I also can't understand why he wants to protect and hide... What great virtue does he possess?"

Wu Tianlin exclaimed in shock: "Could this person be related to An Chengqiao and Ye Changying?"

Wu Feiyan gnashed her teeth and said, "How's this possible! If he's connected to An Chengqiao and Ye Changying, then he wouldn't just sit back and watch when Long Shenghou attacked them 20 years ago!"

"This..." Wu Tianlin furrowed his brows: "The emperor has a point... As a subordinate, I feel that this matter is very strange, with countless possibilities, but each one seems to have some unthought-of places..."

As he thought about this, Wu Tianlin looked down for a long time and then gazed at Wu Feiyan, asking: "Emperor, do you think there's another possibility?"

Wu Feiyan opened her mouth: "Say it!"

Wu Tianlin hastened to say: "Emperor, as I see it, the other party may not have any real connection with your master. There's also a possibility that he just happened to get his hands on that painting and then found out about your identity information from Ding Yuanhou or Lin Wan'er, knowing you're Meng Changsheng's disciple, so he intentionally used this painting to scare you! What if the other party is really a heavenly expert? Why would he take this painting out instead of just waiting in Jinling like a rabbit?"

Wu Feiyan furrowed her brows and asked: "Do you mean that the other party is just making a show, playing cat and mouse with me?"

"Yes!" Wu Tianlin said without hesitation: "As I see it, this is definitely one possibility."

Wu Feiyan nodded slightly and spoke coldly: "I've doubted what you're saying, but I have no way to verify this. If I really want to verify it, let the three elders go instead. But if they all fail in Jinling, we'll not only suffer heavy losses but also risk totally infuriating the other party." JrNovels.com
