Chapter 78: Breakthrough
Back in the guest quarters, I let out a heavy sigh as I thought about my recent conversation with Wei Lin.
The original plan had been simple - get the wind essence and leave the next day. But Wei Lin wanted to stay longer, convinced his father was finally warming up to the idea of him and Lin Mei being together.
If only he knew the truth - that Wei Ye seemed far more interested in me than in his son's relationship.
Not that I could tell Wei Lin that.
How do you explain to your friend that his father, who supposedly has no cultivation base, can somehow track qi movements like an expert cultivator? That he seemed to recognize something about the combination of the two suns' energy?
No, better to keep those suspicions to myself for now.
Besides, after everything Wei Lin had done to help me get the wind essence, the least I could do was support his desire to stay a few more days.
"Are you going to attempt the breakthrough now?" Azure asked, pulling me from my thoughts.
I glanced around the guest room, feeling uneasy. Wei Ye's strange interest in me was concerning, and attempting a breakthrough in his compound might not be the wisest choice. But what were my alternatives? We couldn't exactly leave now, not after agreeing to stay.
