Chapter 494: You Have an Old Friend! How Come I Don’t Know About It?

Lin Yue helplessly closed the door, and with this action of hers, the noisy clamor of the outside world was completely cut off, becoming quiet and silent.

The gate-guarding Fairy walked lightly at the very front to lead the way, Yan Qingjue followed in the middle, and Lin Yue followed closely behind.

Having walked only a few steps inward, large swathes of white Qi rolled over from ahead.

The thick water vapor plastered against her face, allowing her to barely make out the blurry figure of the Fairy ahead.

The three of them continued to walk forward, passing through this thick layer of white mist, and their field of vision suddenly broadened.

Right in the center appeared a huge square pool, which, at a rough glance, was at least over a hundred square meters in size.

The edges of the pool were paved with smooth bluestone slabs, the pool water presented a translucent color, and white mist continuously rose from the surface.

Without needing spiritual power to probe, the dense spiritual power permeating the air began to surge wantonly, being extremely abundant.

But the more closely Lin Yue looked, the more familiar it seemed; she stared blankly at the rolling ripples on the water's surface.

The color of this pool water, and this posture of venting white smoke outward, were simply identical to the pool she and Yan Qingjue had fallen into together in the Secret Realm before.

Could it be such a coincidence? It is this kind of water again?

Lin Yue's breathing became rapid; when others cultivated immortals, some people had a fear of heights, and some people were afraid of the dark, but she, Lin Yue, now had a severe fear of water.

If she took off her clothes and went in, what would happen if it conjured up another Clone? What should she do then?

Lin Yue secretly peeked at the Senior Sister by her side, whose expression was solemn and whose gaze tightened.

She seemed to have the same concerns as Lin Yue, as that experience in the Secret Realm had left an indelible psychological shadow on both of them.

No, instead of thinking about this and that here getting nowhere, it was better to get to the bottom of it and have a clear, satisfying answer.

Lin Yue walked quickly to the side of the Fairy who was leading the way, reached out, and patted the other person's shoulder.

"Um, Fairy, please stop for a moment."

The guiding Fairy turned around with a smile. "Fairy Lin, what is the matter?"

Lin Yue pointed at the large pool next to them, her eyes revealing vigilance.

"This pool water is definitely not an ordinary object, right??"

The Fairy covered her mouth, her brows and eyes curving into crescents.

"Fairy Lin truly has a good eye; this cannot be hidden from you. The water in this entire pool is rare spiritual liquid retrieved from the Land of Extreme Cold by an Elder of our Qingyun Sect, and usually we can't bear to take it out for use at all."

"Its main function is to relieve the physical fatigue of Cultivators, and it can also accelerate the absorption speed, allowing Cultivators to enhance their cultivation level faster."

Hearing this explanation, Lin Yue refused to give up and pursued the questioning, completely not caring whether the other party would find her long-winded.

"Then, besides relieving fatigue and enhancing cultivation, are there any other uses?"

"For example, some special uses that can be used for 'combat'? Or, will soaking for too long produce any hallucinations?"

The guiding Fairy was stunned by the question. She looked at Lin Yue's serious face, thought about it carefully for a moment, and then shook her head.

"Some other functions? I truly do not know about that. This pool has always been the exclusive territory of the Young Miss, and we Disciples have never dared to ask too much."

The Fairy pointed to the depths of the house ahead.

"If Fairy Lin is truly curious, you can directly ask the Young Miss in a moment; she definitely understands much more than I do."

As soon as the Young Miss was mentioned, Yan Qingjue beside them also suddenly chimed in, her tone carrying a hint of sourness.

"Lin Yue, shall we ask? Actually, I'm curious too!"

"No need! No need! I was just asking casually!" Lin Yue said.

The guiding Fairy frowned; exactly which of these two was the master?

Wasn't that woman outside the door just saying she was Fairy Lin's servant?

What servant would threaten her master with such a chilling tone? And Lin Yue's reaction was more like an attendant who had done something wrong and been caught red-handed.

Being able to serve in the Qingyun Sect, she naturally understood the principle of minding her own business. The Fairy didn't ask further, turned around, and continued leading the way ahead.

The mist ahead gradually dissipated, and vision finally returned to clarity. A wide couch appeared ahead.

Ouyang Luoluo was sitting cross-legged on the couch, still clothed and not in a rush to strip, while beside the couch, Liu Yiyi stood with poise, holding a folding fan in her hand.

The guiding Fairy walked up to the couch and slightly bowed.

"Young Miss, the person has been brought here."

After finishing, she very consciously turned around and walked into the white mist.

Ouyang Luoluo got up and said,

"Yo, you finally decided to come? Do you know how long I've been waiting here? Taking a bath even requires someone to go and invite you! Your airs are even bigger than mine, the Young Miss of the Qingyun Sect!"

Facing Ouyang Luoluo's bombardment, Lin Yue did not answer.

But Ouyang Luoluo's gaze was sharp. As soon as she finished speaking to Lin Yue, her sight immediately fell on the woman beside her.

Ouyang Luoluo leaned her body forward slightly, sizing up this strange woman from top to bottom.

She completely could not see through the other party's cultivation level, and moreover, this person exuded a dangerous, chilly aura.

Ouyang Luoluo reached out and pointed at Yan Qingjue: "Who… is this?" Meanwhile, Liu Yiyi was also scrutinizing Yan Qingjue.

Lin Yue told a lie, saying,

"Um, an old friend! This is an old friend I ran into on the way!"

Hearing this answer, the look of suspicion on Ouyang Luoluo's face grew heavier. She stepped down from the couch, stepping barefoot on the ground, and approached Lin Yue step by step.

"Lin Yue, do you take me for a three-year-old child? So easy to fool? Where did you get an old friend from? How come I don't know about it?"
