Chapter 768: Mother
After Chu Liang left, Xue Lingxue, Tie Chui, and the others did not simply sit around waiting in the courtyard.
They were top-tier disciples of prestigious immortal sects, each possessing formidable cultivation. If not for being compared to prodigies like Yang Shenlong, Chu Liang, and Xu Ziyang—who had stepped into the seventh realm ahead of their peers—they would still be considered powerful cultivators in their own right. At its core, this matter was Xue Lingxue’s problem. Chu Liang had only offered his help, and she had no intention of relying on him completely.
According to the information provided by Hu Sanlang, the fake Xue Lingxue was now staying at a temporary lodging that the Flower Pavilion had prepared for her.
They all planned to head over there and investigate.
The impostor had appeared twice before, vanishing without a trace both times. This time, however, she had a place to stay. Even if they couldn’t capture her, they might at least uncover some clues.
Lin Bei hesitated slightly. "Chu Liang has already gone to the palace to investigate. I trust he’ll get to the bottom of this. If we act recklessly and end up running into Jing Wuya, then what?"
He had absolute faith in Chu Liang. After working alongside him for so long, he knew one thing for certain. When faced with a crisis, the best course of action was often to sit tight and let Chu Liang handle everything.
Acting rashly could cause more harm than good.
Lin Bei's understanding of clinging to a powerful ally was ingrained deep in his bones.
"He could be in danger at any moment in the palace. If we can uncover the impostor’s identity, we can call for reinforcements to suppress Jing Wuya," Xue Lingxue reasoned. "That way, he can get out of there sooner."
"You’re right!" Tie Chui, never one to sit still, agreed enthusiastically. "Let’s storm the place! Best case, we catch that fake Xue Lingxue red-handed!"
