Chapter 1284 - Vanya
The atmosphere between Liu Wuxie and the saintess grew strange. They held each other's gaze, each trying to read the other's thoughts.
Liu Wuxie's reply amounted to an admission that he knew Vandore, and the saintess's portrait proved she knew him as well.
"How do you have Vandore's portrait?" Liu Wuxie asked after taking a deep breath to steady himself. He couldn't possibly search her soul when she had saved his life twice.
"Tell me where you met him first," the elven saintess said. As long as Liu Wuxie answered, she would tell him where the portrait came from.
"A place very, very far away," Liu Wuxie said. He couldn't tell her he met Vandore in the Fleeting Cloud Celestial Realm, since he wasn't sure whether the saintess also came from that realm.
"The celestial realm?"
"The outer realm?" the saintess asked, listing several places, including the celestial realm.
Liu Wuxie frowned. From her questions, she clearly didn't know where Vandore had gone, and she knew nothing about the Fleeting Cloud Celestial Realm. Relief eased his heart.
"I don't know specifically where. Anyway, it's a very, very far place. Now, tell me what's going on with this portrait," Liu Wuxie said. He didn't mention the celestial realm, but he wasn't lying when he said it was far away.
The saintess looked disappointed when she failed to get a specific answer. Liu Wuxie sensed her disappointment, yet he didn't know how to comfort her.
"My name is Vanya, descendant of Vandore," the saintess said, introducing herself and stating her relationship to Vandore.
Liu Wuxie nodded. All the riddles fell into place. It was no wonder Vanya sensed a familiar aura from him; it must have come from Vandore.
