Chapter 224 - Secret of Lin Xun’s Origin (1/2)

On the white-bone throne, the figure was vague, but its omnipresent momentum made it a queen in the dark.

“Who is he?”

Her voice was low and magnetic, with the mysterious charm as quiet night.

Quickly, the figure turned into a woman, and her hair was high coiled with a black hollowed wooden phoenix hairpin. She looked very young with white and delicate skin. While her azure pupils were full of indifference, which belonged to the superior.

The well-fitting black gown outlined her slender figure vividly. A black gem ring on her slender white right little finger looked like a staring pupil, whose color was as black as night.

Queen of the Dark Night!

A woman, who was classical, elegant, dignified and beautiful, radiated a kind of quiet dark temperament all over her body.

The darkness could swallow up souls and destroyed everything!

But in the eyes of the old man, there was nothing but a graceful figure from the darkness!

“He isn’t from the Feiyun Village.”

The old man lowered his head slightly and his voice was gentle and calm, “I explored the Purple-abyss Mine Prison, which was abandoned by the Founding Emperor in person. Three months before Lin entered the Feiyun Village, the Mine Prison was completely destroyed overnight, leaving no trace.”

On the white-bone throne, Queen of the Dark Night fell silent for a long time before she said, “You mean, he is the child in that event?”

The old man shook his head and continued, “I’m not sure. I have searched all the ways from Purple-abyss Mine Prison to Feiyun Village. What puzzles me is that it should take him at least one year to enter the Feiyun Village since Lin was just on the second level of Martial Realm at that time. But the time he appeared in Feiyun Village was three months later.”

The voice of Queen of the Dark Night was cold and low, “This is not strange. Lu Boya could arrange a spiritual formation for transfer and send Lin out of the Mine Prison in an instant.”

The old man’s eyes narrowed and he seemed surprised, “Didn’t Lu Boya die?” Queen of the Dark Night answered, “To tell you the truth, one year ago, the reason why I insisted on going to Three-thousand Mountains was that I wanted to visit Lu Boya.”

The name of Lu Boya destroyed the old man’s inner peace and he fell in a trance with a complicated expression on the original benevolent and gentle face.

After a long time, the old man sighed with emotion, “No wonder Lin has remarkable attainments in spiritual tattoos. Since I received the news from Shue Jin, I has been wondering who he actually learned all this from; it turns out that Lin learnt the spiritual tattoos from Lu Boya…” He came to understand it suddenly.

There was a touch of shock and doubt on his face. He could not imagine why Lu Boya, who had been proved dead long ago, could still survive!

“The death of Lu Boyao was always a mystery, but I know that both the upper class of the Empire and the old guy on the observatory were cheated by Lu Boya.”

There was a slight fluctuation in her voice, which indicated her unquiet emotion, “But now, Lu Boya might be really dead.”

Her voice had a trace of unwillingness and regret for Lu Boya’s death.

The old man also fell into silence. Even Purple-abyss Mine Prison, which was built by the Founding Emperor himself, had been destroyed. How could Lu Boya survive?

“So, Lu Boya hid in the Mine Prison with the child who should have died in that event. But he didn’t expect that a misfortune suddenly came and eventually destroyed his life.”

The old man sighed with complex emotion in his eyes as if he was recalling the past.

The voice of the Queen had returned to the usual indifference, “I am curious at present whether the murderer who destroyed Purple-abyss Mine Prison target Lu Boya or Lin Xun?”

The old man’s eyes suddenly narrowed. This was a key problem. If he wanted to kill Lu Boya, it proved that the murderer didn’t know Lin Xun’s identity. If he aimed at Lin Xun, he might not know Lu Boya, who was proved dead in those days, was also a person full of mystery.

Of course, there was a possibility that the killer wanted to kill Lu Boya and Lin at the same time!

“Only Lu Boya knew the event clearly, otherwise Lin Xun could not survive at all. Unfortunately, it would be difficult to reveal the reality of that mystery with his death.”

The Queen sighed.

The old man thought for a moment and said, “Miss, not to mention the past; as we recognize Lin Xun’s origin, whether…”

Before finishing the words, he was interrupted by the Queen, “Put it aside!”

The old man was confused, “Put it aside?”

The Queen said indifferently, “Only Lu Boya knew the reason of that incident. Since he is unwilling to tell Lin the reason, we don’t need to tell Lin either. Lin will be entitled to know all this unless he has enough power to change my mind someday.”

The old man nodded.

At this point, slight footsteps arose in the depth of the castle.
