Chapter 1552 - 1550: Sir, Are You Looking for Lin Fan?
When Zhu Qilue turned his head to look at the displaced person, just about to inquire a bit.
Who knew.
The displaced person widened their eyes and spoke first.
"Master, forgive my offense, may a humble folk speak with you?"
Zhu Qilue was startled, hurriedly saying, "No need to use such lowly language, just talk to me normally. I am not like other young masters. I told you I wouldn’t tease you, and I won’t."
"Understood, humble folk understands." The displaced person lowered their head, always curling up their body in a panic-stricken manner. Obviously, they still didn’t quite believe Zhu Qilue’s words, so they kept their body tense, ready to flee at any sign of trouble.
"I said, talk normally." Zhu Qilue frowned and said coldly.
"Uh... yes..." The displaced person nodded and whispered.
"So, what do you want to say to me?"
"Hum... I do have something I want to report to you, Master..."
"Speak."
"I wonder, Master, are you looking for Lin Fan?"
When Lin Fan’s name popped out of the displaced person’s mouth, Zhu Qilue was utterly shocked!
Speechless!
Dumbfounded!
At a loss for words!
It was like a thunderbolt in the sky striking his head, leaving him shocked with his mouth wide open, not knowing what to say.
If, just if!
If he were those ruthless young masters, this displaced person would have long died by his hands.
He would never have learned about Lin Fan from this displaced person.
Moreover,
it was astonishing that this displaced person knew who Lin Fan was!
But thinking about it, with Lin Fan’s easy-going personality, he wouldn’t care about a displaced person’s status, and would quickly get along with them, maybe even become sworn brothers!
Thinking of Lin Fan like that, Zhu Qilue smiled helplessly.
But noticing the displaced person still staring at him, he quickly snapped back and asked, "How do you know Lin Fan?!"
Lan Yunwei originally didn’t want to listen to their conversation, being the proud heiress of the Water Clan, how could she let a displaced person speak to her, it would only sully her ears.
So she gazed into the distance, intending to ignore it.
However, sound couldn’t be blocked out unless she covered her ears, there would always be snippets that slipped through.
She seemed to hear Zhu Qilue mention the name Lin Fan.
In an instant!
She jumped up, not caring whether the other person was a displaced person, and directly shouted, "Lin Fan?! Are you sure it’s Lin Fan?!"
"Hey, weren’t you not listening? What’s got you so worked up?" Zhu Qilue rolled his eyes, mocking her.
"Shut up, will you!" Lan Yunwei shouted angrily without turning her head, staring unblinkingly at the displaced person, truly startling them.
The displaced person didn’t expect such a big reaction from the two, frightened out of their wits, nodded cautiously.
"Yes..."
"Where?! Where is he?! Where is Lin Fan now?!"
Actually, Lan Yunwei already had an answer in her heart, that rumored place, Lin Fan must be there!
But.
She hoped for a different answer, hoping to protect Lan Zhengqing.
At least, not let him lose too badly.
"Uh... uh..."
The displaced person stammered twice, glancing at Lan Yunwei, clearly wary and fearful. They originally wanted to tell Zhu Qilue quietly, but Lan Yunwei’s sharp ears caught the wind, and now he felt stuck in a tough spot.
If he spoke, he feared Lan Yunwei’s wrath would burn him alive.
If he didn’t, the words were already out of his mouth, like water spilled, impossible to take back.
"Speak!" Lan Yunwei yelled anxiously.
"Go ahead, it’s okay." Zhu Qilue’s voice was rather gentle, with an encouraging tone.
The displaced person glanced at Zhu Qilue but dared not look at Lan Yunwei, which already indicated the severity of the situation, likely related to Lan Zhengqing!
Lan Yunwei was slow in other areas, but when it came to news regarding Lan Zhengqing, she was extremely keen.
Seeing the displaced person’s expression, her heart sank.
"At... at Blizzard Village..."
Sure enough!
Lan Yunwei felt like someone had punched her right in the heart, making it so hard to breathe she was almost suffocating. She held her breath, face flushed, unable to speak.
This answer matched her imagination exactly!
It was indeed the rumored personal base of Lan Zhengqing.
The secrets hidden there were probably these displaced people, and possibly even more terrifying things.
Lan Yunwei gasped, her breath catching.
"Miss Lan, what’s wrong? Why do you look so pale?" Zhu Qilue noticed Lan Yunwei’s heavy breathing, glanced over, and found her ashen-faced and extremely ugly, he asked a question.
"Noth... nothing... I’m fine..." Lan Yunwei absentmindedly replied, her voice faltering.
"Are you really okay? You look really unwell, do you want to sit down and rest for a moment?" Zhu Qilue frowned slightly, feeling there was something off.
But Lan Yunwei did not respond, as if not hearing his inquiry, standing there motionless like a wooden stump.
Zhu Qilue couldn’t ask much more, turning his gaze to the displaced person.
"Are you sure the place is called Blizzard Village?"
"I’m sure."
"And Lin Fan is there?"
"Yes... he’s there... and..."
"And what?"
Seeing the displaced person hesitating to speak, Zhu Qilue found it increasingly odd. The displaced person kept casting wary glances at Lan Yunwei, indicating it was probably related to her or Lan Zhengqing!
He furrowed his brows tightly.
"Noth... nothing... I just heard someone say they were Lin Fan, but I can’t be sure if it’s really him... after all, I don’t know him..."
"Okay, I understand." Zhu Qilue pondered for a moment, seeing Lan Yunwei looking lost, and thought to seize the opportunity to inquire more from the displaced person. This displaced person surely knew more but wasn’t saying everything. "Then where is Blizzard Village?"
"In that direction."
"As far as I know, that should still be Wenyu City’s territory, how come so many of you are there?"
Zhu Qilue was sharp, looking intently at the displaced person.
He immediately fell silent, unable to speak.
"Uh... we... we..."
Clearly unwilling to tell, as it related to Lan Zhengqing, speaking carelessly could lead to death.
So.
He stammered for awhile but didn’t utter a word.
Still indecisive.
"It’s because..."
Just then, another displaced person rushed over and covered the other’s mouth, whispering fiercely.
"Are you crazy?! If you spill it, your life is over! You won’t even have the right to live, shut your mouth!"
"But..."
"No buts, do you want to die?! Think of your daughter, do you want to die?!"
"No... I don’t want to..."
"Good, then shut up."
The one who rushed over murmured a few words in the other’s ear, in such a low voice that even if Zhu Qilue strained to listen, he couldn’t hear clearly.
"Master, sorry, he was speaking nonsense, please forgive us. If there’s nothing else, we’d like to leave, avoiding sullying your eyes."
The fellow was clever, pulling the one who nearly spilled the beans, intending to leave.
