Chapter 1930: Muddling Through

Ma Tiantong and his group, seeing Mu Lianqing also come to testify for Ye Liuyun and bringing a witness, thought the charade could no longer be maintained.

Mu Lianqing represents the Southern Fortune Prince's Mansion and should be enemies of the Death Legion, so how could he speak in favor of the enemy?

"Ha ha, I told you! This kid is just an Alchemist; how could he possibly be the rebel army's leader."

Jin Dayong tried to smooth things over.

Ma Tiantong also explained: "Actually, even if you are the rebel leader, it has nothing to do with our Alchemist Alliance.

We only want to avoid suspicion; we can't let you stay here any longer!"

But now the issues have been clarified, you can safely continue living here!"

Lin Luoyi added: "He is my direct disciple! No matter whom you suspect, you cannot suspect him!"

"Ah?

He's your direct disciple; why hasn't he told us about it?"

Ma Tiantong and Jin Dayong were especially surprised.

"He is naturally strong-willed and doesn't want to rely on my reputation to obtain Alchemist credentials, so he kept it hidden.

Otherwise, who would you think taught his techniques?"

Lin Luoyi said this according to Ye Liuyun's instructions.

Ye Liuyun noticed that Lin Luoyi lied without blushing, speaking convincingly.

"No wonder! I said his techniques are so similar to yours! Turns out he's Alchemist Lin's direct disciple!"

Ma Tiantong and Jin Dayong seemed to suddenly realize.

They chatted a while longer, and Ye Liuyun and the others finally took their leave.

Ma Tiantong and Jin Dayong wanted to arrange lodging for Lin Luoyi, but Lin Luoyi outright refused.

"No need, I'll stay at my disciple's place, watching them refine elixirs.

Lin Xiyao will also move over to keep me company!"

Lin Luoyi casually said that, then arranged for her and Lin Xiyao to live together with Ye Liuyun, finding a suitable excuse.

"Fine, fine!"

Ma Tiantong and Jin Dayong repeatedly agreed.

Ye Liuyun thus slipped through the scrutiny, solidifying his status as a Lin family disciple.

After they left, Lin Xiyao was puzzled why Lin Luoyi and Ye Liuyun had lied.

She hadn't exposed them then, because she was protecting Ye Liuyun; now she couldn't help but ask.

"Don't speak, lest someone overhear.

I'll explain when we get back."

Ye Liuyun saw her expression, knew she wanted to ask, and immediately sent her a Transmission Voice, stopping her.

Ma Tiantong and Jin Dayong, however, kept monitoring them with Divine Sense until they returned to Ye Liuyun's residence.

"What a coincidence?

It turned out to be a duplicate name!"

Ma Tiantong also shook his head outright.

"The world is vast; what strange thing doesn't exist! Moreover, with Lin Luoyi testifying, why would you worry needlessly! We have fulfilled our duty! If anything truly goes wrong, it has nothing to do with us!"

Jin Dayong said that and was about to go back to refining elixirs.

"Indeed! I actually quite like this kid!"

Ma Tiantong also stopped thinking and hurried back to refine elixirs.

Both of them are addicted to alchemy, indifferent to other affairs, and could never contend with Ye Liuyun.

Besides, they originally had no intention of meddling in such trivial matters.

Ye Liuyun is in the Royal City, hasn't interacted with others, and usually lives a secluded life.

Once they clear this hurdle, most others remain unaware of his existence.

So his identity has stayed well hidden.

After returning, Ye Liuyun led Lin Xiyao and Lin Luoyi into the Cultivation Room; once he was sure no one could intrude, he told Lin Xiyao his true situation.

Lin Xiyao listened in utter astonishment.

"You're now my woman, so I can't keep hiding from you! I didn't tell you before because I didn't want you involved."

Ye Liuyun explained to her.

"Did the master already know?"

Lin Xiyao looked at Lin Luoyi, then at Ye Liuyun.

"Yes, Mu Lianqing also knows!"

Ye Liuyun said frankly.

"But he knows, so why is he still so kind to you?"

Lin Xiyao was very puzzled.

"I have a way to control him.

He wouldn't dare disobey me!"

Ye Liuyun didn't elaborate that much.

Lin Xiyao didn't follow up.

She absorbed so much information at once that her mind hadn't caught up; she needed time to digest it.

Ye Liuyun also let Lin Xiyao consider it at her own pace.

As for whether Lin Xiyao, now knowing the truth, will continue to follow him, he won't force her.

"Xiyao, you must never be foolish— the stronger your man is, the better."

Lin Luoyi also worried that Lin Xiyao would leave Ye Liuyun because of this.

Lin Xiyao then confirmed, saying, "Mm! I know! I just need some time to digest this information; I won't leave him!"

Lin Luoyi also laughed and said, "What else do you want to know?"

"I can also tell you everything I know!"

"Then... will he have many women?"

Lin Xiyao asked softly.

Lin Luoyi then put her arm around Lin Xiyao's shoulders and advised, "Silly girl, how could such a strong man not have women attracted to him? You should see this more openly— as long as he has you in his heart and treats you sincerely, that's enough!"

The path of martial arts is inherently harsh, and it's not easy for women to survive.

If you have a man who truly cares for you, why worry about so much?

I don't think he's that kind of irresponsible person.

Moreover, he clearly has the opportunity but isn't lecherous— we should be content!

"Mm!"

Lin Xiyao also nodded, then chatted with Lin Luoyi for a long time before gradually accepting Ye Liuyun's new identity.

But after she accepted it, she instead began to worry about Ye Liuyun's safety.

"Then should we temporarily return to the Lin family?"

After all, this is the Royal City; it's too dangerous for him to stay here!

Lin Xiyao proposed.

Lin Luoyi then analyzed, saying, "I estimate he stays here to more easily obtain information."

Otherwise he wouldn't have come on this adventure.

We don't understand his affairs, so we shouldn't worry needlessly.

Believe he will find a way.

Moreover, we've already proven this for him— he hasn't contacted anyone in the Royal City.

Once those two hall masters are dealt with, probably no one will know him.

Ye Liuyun, however, didn't pay much attention.

Even if someone discovered him, he could immediately leave using the Black Tower's teleportation.

These days he has been focusing on cultivating Heaven and Earth Power and Spatial Power, and he also slightly upgraded his Space World, remaking it with the power of the fifth layer of the void.

His avatar also trained with him, and he obtained many corpses from the Witch to feed the demon beasts in his Space World.

The Witch remains deeply grateful for Ye Liuyun's lifesaving favor, and knowing his Space World teems with demon beasts, and that corpses on the battlefield are more than can be processed, she naturally satisfied his request.

He had people collect a large number of corpses, and even the Magic Vine was fed.

But the Demon Race Clan Chief, always using the excuse of being busy with war, never formally banqueted or thanked Ye Liuyun.

As the war progressed, after more than a month, Ye Liuyun's army had advanced half the distance.

Here in the Southern Region Royal City, they had just gathered a 200,000-strong army, hastily reorganized, and then marched to the front lines.
