Chapter 2555: Showing Ones Hand
Yumen Beiqing figured that she could kill Nuba at any time. The latter was a renowned figure, and it was an easy feat to find her. So, she decided to prioritize following Salamay and figuring out who the latter's master was.
Someone else is pulling the strings here. I might have overlooked something important. Perhaps I just have to find that important thing to change the ending.
That greatly lifted her spirits. She carefully followed Salamay, fearing that the latter would discover her.
Salamay was very vigilant. She took remote paths, and sometimes even took detours to confuse anyone following her. She also frequently surveyrf her surroundings to ensure that no one was following her.
But with her strength, there was no way she could find the Sun Goddess when the latter was intentionally hiding from her.
Soon, Salamay arrived at a cliff. She knocked on the cliff wall, and a ray of light shone down. She took out a jade piece and placed it into the ligh; the jade glowed and reflected the light onto the cliff.
All of a sudden, a cavern appeared on the cliff face.
With a sweet smile, she walked in and bowed to the person seated inside. “Master, I have completed the mission you entrusted to me.”
The black-robed man impassively said, “Tell me how it went.”
Salamay recounted the details surrounding her encounter with Nuba. The black-robed man nodded in satisfaction. “Good. You didn’t do anything unnecessary.”
Seeing that the black-robed man was in a good mood, Salamay took this chance to ask, “Master, why didn’t you tell her the name directly? Why are you divulging information to her in this roundabout manner instead?”
