This pair of eyes actually gave her a very familiar feeling, as if… she had seen them before.
With this sudden look, it seemed like the night sky had a spiral with a lethal attraction.
Chu Liuyue opened her mouth, and a name was almost going to jump out. “You…”
But at this point, that man silently averted his gaze. In the depths of his eyes, there seemed to be a faint layer of mist spreading around to cover the charming eyes.
Chu Liuyue then suddenly recovered her senses and carefully sized the incoming person up.
This was a mysterious man dressed in a black robe and a silver mask. He floated in midair and was looking down at her.
As he was completely dressed in black without any accessories, he seemed to merge with the dark space behind. Thus, she could only forcefully identify that his figure was big. As for the rest… She couldn’t tell.
Chu Liuyue stared at him for quite a while and suddenly said, “…Master?”
After a temporary silence, that man finally spoke, his voice deep. “You do have good eyesight.”
It’s really him! Chu Liuyue was actually shocked. She had never seen this person personally and had only heard his voice once at Country Yao Chen’s imperial mausoleum. Now that she met him, she felt that this person’s vibe was quite similar to Master’s that day for some reason.
She just tried to ask and didn’t expect to get it right…
Chu Liuyue blinked and carefully scrutinized him.
It was a pity that the surroundings were pitch black, and she couldn’t see anything clearly. He was even wearing a mask, which made it even harder for her.
However, she quickly stopped herself. Facing such a character, her gaze was inevitably offensive.
After all, this could be considered as their first official meeting.
Chu Liuyue retracted her gaze and glanced at the legendary three-eyed eagle and the Heavenly Square Cauldron in front of her.
Before this person came, she was just preparing to help recover the legendary three-eyed eagle’s physical body. Then, he appeared before she could even do anything.
Separated by Ancestor’s translucent barrier, he should be able to see my situation vaguely. If someone else appeared, I would definitely hide these items immediately. Anyone with good eyesight can tell that the legendary three-eyed eagle beside me isn’t an ordinary fiend. And this person… has a mysterious and strong background.
Chu Liuyue believed that he definitely recognized the legendary three-eyed eagle. As for the Heavenly Square Cauldron… Even though it didn’t look like anything special at first glance, she couldn’t guarantee that he didn’t know about it.
Chu Liuyue knew the logic of an innocent man getting into trouble because of his wealth very well. But the strange thing was that after she recognized that he was Master, she actually half-heaved a sigh of relief.
For some reason, she knew that he wouldn’t snatch her things. This feeling came with no rhyme or reason, but this was Chu Liuyue thought.
Even if this person could easily snatch all her things away when he took action, Chu Liuyue didn’t plan on hiding. Anyway, he had already seen it, and there wasn’t much meaning in hiding further.
If he really wants to gain something from me, why would he leave the black pyramid for me at the start? At this thought, Chu Liuyue had an idea.
She seriously bowed toward the other party. “I still have to thank you, Master, for the previous incident.”
The other party had helped her quite a few times privately and openly. She had to thank him.
However, the other party didn’t answer her as he instead asked, “Are you planning to manifest the legendary three-eyed eagle’s physical body?”
Chu Liuyue’s eyelids twitched. He really can tell with one glance!
She was secretly thankful that she didn’t think of hiding from him as she nodded and openly admitted, “Yes.”
A stage-five warrior trying to help a legendary fiend recover its physical body. If word got out, it would definitely attract many people’s mockery and nonchalance. However, Master just nodded lightly and didn’t criticize at all as he changed the topic and seemingly asked nonchalantly, “This place seemed pretty crowded just now.”
The man’s tone was lazy and had a tinge of relaxation.
Chu Liuyue didn’t mind it. The battle between her and the Heaven-Wrecking Holy Seed made quite a huge commotion and left some marks around.
She paused and tried to ask, “Master, I have something to ask you. Do you know—the pyramid we obtained in the imperial mausoleum previously… What does it contain?”
Then, Chu Liuyue nervously held her breath. This man definitely knows something. If not, he wouldn’t randomly leave a seal on it. But… What exactly is it for?
Chu Liuyue thought for a very long time but couldn’t arrive at an answer. Now that she coincidentally saw him, she naturally had to ask him.
Once she asked this, the surroundings fell silent.
Chu Liuyue’s heart was as if gradually clutched by something.
Suddenly, that man glided down from above. Before Chu Liuyue could even see his actions clearly, he had already appeared not far away from her.
The space below wasn’t considered small, and the barrier Shangguan Jing helped Chu Liuyue set up only took up about half of the space.
Recovering one’s physical body was meticulous and long work. If one wanted to do it successfully, they had to try their best not to be affected by the outside world. However, it didn’t have many restrictions on the amount of space.
That man jumped down and landed on the other half of the empty space. He stood in the dark, and Chu Liuyue could only see his deep and quiet eyes.
He seemed to chuckle. “If I tell you now, what’s the point of me leaving the seal there before?”
Chu Liuyue: “…It seems like you’re not willing to say it?”
Actually, this was also expected. It would really be strange if she could find out the answer so easily. Like he had said: there would be no meaning in the seal he left behind.
“If it’s inconvenient for you to tell me, then it’s fine. However… this thing seems to be very important to you. Why must you leave it here?” This was also a question that Chu Liuyue couldn’t understand. Based on his abilities, isn’t it a piece of cake to deal with this item?
“I have my own plans,” said that man lightly. He clearly had no plans on explaining.
Chu Liuyue’s brows furrowed slightly. This feeling of not knowing anything really sucks.
“Since it’s inconvenient for you to say anything, then I won’t ask further.” Her tone turned cold. It’s fine if he doesn’t want to speak. Perhaps I can solve that seal one day and see what’s inside!
“If there’s nothing else, Master, please help yourself. I still have things to do, so I shan’t talk to you anymore.” Then, Chu Liuyue turned around and planned to start recovering the legendary three-eyed eagle’s physical body.
She already disregarded this person watching. Anyway, she just had to do what she needed to do no matter what.
But at this point, that man spoke again. “Hold on.”
Chu Liuyue paused in her actions and turned around to glance at him. “Master, is there anything else you want to enlighten me about?”
There was a tinge of smiling intent in that man’s voice. “You helped me look after this item. As a reward, I want to help you too. The armor on your body… Do you want to take it off yourself, or do you want me to help you?”
