Chapter 1468: Invitation to Join Chapter 1467 – Invitation to Join Qikun wasn’t frustrated at all – he did hear about some smaller sects all kept a lower profile regarding their mentors when coming to the common world- different from noble houses who had not a care for the world. The people who come out of these sects- unless the person was a son of the elder or a major disciple- were rather careful outside, and rarely cocky. Lin Yi must be one of those. “Thanks for understanding!” Lin Yi gave a smile that indicated that they’ve come to an understanding as he raised his pot and drank from it. “Alright, nice!” Qikun and Qijiu did the same and put down the pots. The skewers and lamb legs were still taking a while, but the three didn’t mind. They didn’t come here to eat, after all, they came here to make connections- while Lin Yi was here to get information. “You two sure are early for the test.” Lin Yi intentionally moved the topic to the Ice Palace, wanting to learn more about it. “Haha, Brother Ling was faster, right?” Qikun smiled. “You must be the first one who arrived.” “Yeah...” Lin Yi shrugged helplessly. “Nothing I can do, my shifu chose to go into isolated practitioning just before that, and there’s no point staying in the sect either, so I might as well come first.” Lin Yi instantly addressed his identity- because of this, he’d be able to say his shifu didn’t tell him anything because of the isolation whenever there was something he didn’t know. Qikun wouldn’t suspect him then. “Oh? What a coincidence then, my grandpa is in isolated practitioning as well, so we might as well depart first.” Qikun looked at Lin Yi, surprised. “Brother Ling, this is quite a fateful encounter!” “Oh? You guys too? What a coincidence, indeed!” Lin Yi smiled- seemed like he’d gotten the right route. He wouldn’t be suspected now for sure. “Yeah- we’ve come from far away to meet here by fate!” Qikun smiled. “What strength level are you, Brother Ling if you don’t mind me asking? The test requires the participant this time to be Mystic or higher- what phase are you in?” Qikun was worried Lin Yi might hide his strength, so he intentionally told him of the requirements, that everyone here was a Mystic anyway, so there was no reason to worry! It was just in case Lin Yi didn’t know about this since even he himself didn’t know much. “I’m not too strong- just Mystic mid-phase peak.” Lin Yi smiled bitterly. “It’s a bit complicated back in my sect- the ones near my age are all Earth class, and the ones who came after are all Golden- I’m pretty much the only one who meets the requirements! Lin Yi only told the truth about his strength- everything else he made up on the spot. It suited the situation as well. “I see, so that’s why you were alone, Brother Ling...” QIkun said that, but in his heart, he was thinking how Lin YI’s sect wasn’t one to be underestimated- even the younger generation was Earth class! With that thought, he decided to get closer to Lin Yi even more. And Lin Yi, naturally, wanted that misunderstanding to happen in the first place. “Yeah- what strength level are you two, brothers?; Lin Yi already knew it but decided to ask for surface purposes. “I’m Mystic mid-phase peak, same as you- Jiu is Mystic late phase, a bit stronger than us.” QIkun was a bit gleeful when bringing up Qijiu- this was his trump card after all since the requirements peaked at Mystic- and Qijiu was Mystic late phase! Their advantage over the others was clear. “Then you two must have quite some confidence in this test, right?” Lin Yi continued pressing on. “Not true- there might be late phase peak fighters after all.” Qikun smiled faintly. “Plus, we don’t know what the method of testing this time is, too- we’ll have to wait for the Ice Palace people to arrive...” “You’re right- but you two are still at the front, even if you’re not at the top. There’s no need to worry.” Lin Yi continued. “Right, have you guys gone into the Ice Palace sect before?” “Nobody can- Ling Bro, it seems like you really don’t know about this. Well, it’s true that the elders and masters don’t tell you about all this until after the invitation.” Qikun was the same as well, though he was sure he knew more than Lin Yi. “Nobody has seen the Ice Palace sect before; it’s all our first time!” “Where is it then? Could it be somewhere near here?” Lin Yi asked. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖 “Yes, it’s right there!” Qikun pointed in a direction. “I know a general position, but I’ve never gone there before- we’d have to pass the test first; not anyone can just enter a place like that. They are different from us noble houses or normal sects, after all- they’re ancient sects!” So it was an ancient sect! Lin Yi kept that in mind- though, it was a bit worrying that the guy pointed in the direction of where the fire spirit fruit was- that was the north! Why would the Ice Palace be there? In Liju’s description, it was a place completely void of life, and if there were a sect there, Liju must have at least mentioned it... But then, it had been a long time since then-! With the time that had passed, it wasn’t too big of a surprise that a sect had been formed there! But if that were the case, it would be much harder for him to find the fruit now! IF that place really was where the sect was, then the fruit would have already been discovered already- he wouldn’t be able to go take it if the Ice Palace didn’t allow him to! He couldn’t help but frown- he thought that finding the location would be the toughest challenge, but it seemed like the sect had taken that role! “I wonder if I can’t do it this time...” Lin Yi said, worried. This was his true emotion, too. As a result, Qikun thought that Lin Yi really was worrying. However, he tried to console him intentionally, “Anyone would want to make it if they came here, after all- the number of outer disciples they’re accepting was limited, and the treasure exchange isn’t easy to get either, so... I wonder if you had any intention to team up, Brother Ling?’
