Chapter 496 Cover up
Chi You and Ye Wei discussed some matters, then Chi You looked at Lin Zhao: "Our Red Dragon Clan is also called the Red Dragon Clan. Our habitat is a small, separate world. If outsiders want to enter, they need a pass. I can certainly grant you entry, but how should we address you?"

Lin Zhao pondered for a moment, then replied directly: "Lin Zhao, Lin as in forest, Zhao as in bright sun and moon."

Chi You began entering the information into the pass. Upon hearing Lin Zhao's name, he exclaimed, "What a fine name you have! It's the same as the newly appointed Ancestral Phoenix Emperor from the Ancestral Phoenix Plane!"

Of course, he didn't connect Lin Zhao with the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor. After all, no matter how strong the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor was or how terrifying his talent was, he was only a Nascent Soul cultivator a few months ago. But Lin Zhao in front of him was a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage whose aura was so terrifying that he was somewhat wary of him.

The difference between the early stage of Nascent Soul and the Great Perfection of Nascent Soul is probably greater than the difference between all the previous stages combined.

The reason Lin Zhao was able to advance to this level so quickly after becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator was largely due to the fact that her Phoenix Luck was complete. In addition, she later received the transmission of power from the three elders, making her spiritual foundation extremely solid.

It can be said that Lin Zhao has taken full advantage of favorable timing, location, and human factors to get to this point. Otherwise, ordinary cultivators would be stuck at the Nascent Soul stage for thousands of years without making any progress.

Jin Ya's expression turned strange for a moment after hearing Chi You's remark, but since Lin Zhao himself didn't say anything, she didn't say anything either. However, when Chi You asked her name, she couldn't help but swallow hard because of the fragrance emanating from him. After receiving a death stare from Lin Zhao, Jin Ya calmed down a bit: "Jin Ya, Jin as in golden, Ya as in sprouting."

After recording the pass for the two men, Chi You said, "Please follow me."

As for Ye Wei, Chi You took her directly behind him.

After traveling for about two days, the group finally found a teleportation array in a border city of the Qing Dynasty.

When Lin Zhao arrived at the city, she seemed to sense something was amiss and looked in one direction, but there was nothing there. Jin Ya was puzzled by her strange behavior: "What's wrong, Lin Zhao? Is something wrong? Or are there enemies?"

Lin Zhao hesitated for a moment: "I sensed a familiar aura, but maybe I'm mistaken. If it were him, he wouldn't be hiding from us."

Jin Ya said, "What kind of people could there be in such a small place? We don't know anyone in this lousy place. Are you overwhelmed with work?"

Lin Zhao rubbed her temples, thinking that perhaps the battle with Venerable Guiyuan and the days of travel had made her soul a little tired, which was why she was sensing the wrong thing.

"Let's rest once we're on the spirit boat." Chi You paid the fee for the teleportation array and led the people onto the spirit boat. "We're about to travel through time and space, so please take care of this child."

He nodded at Xiao Bei.

Neither Xiao Bei nor Ye Wei possessed sufficient cultivation to withstand the tearing force of the space. Xiao Bei, in particular, had not yet formally begun cultivation and could be torn into pieces at any moment within the space. Chi You, knowing his own strength and burly nature, doubted he could properly care for the child and thus entrusted him to Lin Zhao's care.

Even if Chi You hadn't said anything, Lin Zhao would have taken care of Xiao Bei, his second brother's adopted son. He waved to Xiao Bei, picked up the child, and boarded the spirit boat.

Standing on the spirit boat, the feeling was even stronger. Lin Zhao subconsciously looked in one direction and unexpectedly met a pair of purple eyes.

The young man, with silver hair and purple eyes, stood where Lin Zhao's gaze had just fallen upon him, dressed in a white robe, seemingly blending into the entire world.

Jin Ya also noticed Lin Zhao's stunned expression. Following Lin Zhao's gaze, she was instantly amazed by the beauty of the scene.

"You didn't even call me when there were good-looking people around," Jin Ya muttered, then rubbed her eyes. "But why does this beauty look so familiar?" Lin Zhao laughed. "More than just familiar? He's fought with you before. He's Ning Wengui."

Jin Ya's appreciation for the beauty vanished instantly, replaced by a look of disdain: "Tsk, what a waste of that face."

She turned around and talked to Ye Wei and Chi You.

Perhaps because the red dragon aura emanating from Chi You was too alluring to her, Jin Ya, who was obsessed with looks, didn't pay much attention to the fact that Chi You's appearance was only considered above average in the cultivation world, and kept circling around him.

Lin Zhao waved to Ning Wengui, but the other party did not respond.

Lin Zhao didn't care much, and after saying hello, she turned around to find Jin Ya.

If she hadn't stopped her, given Jin Ya's covetousness of Chi You's body, she probably would have bitten off his arm right now.

Even when she was still far from adulthood, this girl was a beauty enthusiast and foodie who didn't discriminate between meat and vegetables. Now that she's almost an adult, Jin Ya has become a bit aesthetically fatigued because she's seen too many beauties along the way. Unless it's a stunning beauty like Ning Wengui, ordinary people can't even get a glance from Jin Ya.

Therefore, Jin Ya focused all her desires on her appetite and fighting spirit, as evidenced by her ability to defeat two Nascent Soul cultivators at the Great Perfection stage.

As for appetite, Evil Eye Demon Fork might have more say than Lin Zhao.

His once formidable magic fork was gnawed into a magic wand by the golden bud.

Fortunately, although Chi You has a fierce appearance, he has a pretty good temper. Several times, Jin Ya almost drooled over him, but Chi You was still able to talk to her without changing his expression.

Lin Zhao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and then placed Xiao Bei in Jin Ya's arms: "I'm entrusting Xiao Bei to your care. If there are any problems, I will hold you responsible."

Jin Ya couldn't touch her own food and had to take care of the child, so she was filled with resentment towards Lin Zhao's arrangements. However, when she met Lin Zhao's eyes, she chickened out and could only ruffle Xiao Bei's hair hard: "Little brat, since I've entrusted you to my care, you have to be obedient, understand? Otherwise, when I'm starving, I'll eat people too."

Xiao Bei blinked her big eyes twice, and Jin Ya, who was obsessed with looks, immediately fell silent.

Seeing this, Lin Zhao nodded and beckoned Chi You to go to a less crowded place.

Chi You followed Lin Zhao to a corner, where Lin Zhao asked, "Before we go to the Red Dragon Clan, there are some questions that I would like to ask Brother Chi You to clarify. Is Ye Wei's mother, the current patriarch of your Red Dragon Clan, in a deep sleep on her own, or is she in a deep sleep because of someone else?"

Upon hearing this, Chi You remained silent for a long time before saying, "I didn't know that either. I heard from Weiwei that you are also an alchemist?"

Lin Zhao nodded.

"The reason we invited you here this time is that we hope you can awaken the clan leader. If you can awaken my sister, that would be the best outcome. If you can't, at least we should stabilize Weiwei's status as the heir."

However, both of these are undoubtedly extremely difficult.
