352 Arcane Ring (1/2)
”Well, Cousin Leon, how do you know we are going to the Tulan Mountains?” Lin Yun sounded like he was just very casually asking a question, but unbeknownst to the others, he poured mana into the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel.
If Leon's answer was problematic, Lin Yun's Ten Thousand Spell Wheel would burst out in an instant, ready to add another Elder to his list of victims.
Only three people knew about the plan to go to the Tulan Mountains: Ross, William, and Lin Yun himself. Perhaps one might also count the Draconic Beastman who had been slumbering for two months.
But now, Leon mentioned his destination. How could this not raise Lin Yun's vigilance?
Ross and William wouldn't leak the information. Lin Yun trusted them. As for the Draconic Beastman, he couldn't even if he wanted to.
Since that was the case, where did Leon's information come from?
Lin Yun could only think of one possibility, which was that Leon had been peeping all along and might have accidentally heard about it in one of Ross and William's discussions.
This was something intolerable for Lin Yun...
After surviving in that crazy era, Lin Yun knew more than anyone how dangerous it was to be stalked.
And Lin Yun usually used the same method to deal with any sort of danger.
Even now, if Leon couldn't give Lin Yun a satisfying answer, this 7th Rank High Mage from the Cloud Tower would be exterminated.
”Hold on, hold on!”
Lin Yun had been pouring mana into the Spell Wheel very covertly, to the point that even Ross and William didn't notice his killing intent.
But Leon paled when heard Lin Yun's words, and he shouted while retreating, as if he knew Lin Yun was planning something for him.
”Hmmm?” Lin Yun was secretly startled. This reaction was so different from how Leon had behaved in Thousand Sails City.
At that time, he was still speaking nonsense even after being Mana Shackled. How come he was now so timid, already panicking when a bit of mana was poured into the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel?
He had changed quite a bit after a few months.
This was quite interesting...
After thinking about it, Lin Yun dissipated the mana that he'd poured into the Spell Wheel. ”Talk…”
”It's a misunderstanding, Cousin Mafa, this is a misunderstanding…” A relieved smile appeared on Leon's face when he saw Lin Yun lowering his guard. He wasn't as confident as before and fear could be felt in his voice, but his hands were no longer shaking. ”Because I know some secrets regarding the Tulan Mountains…”
”Oh?”
”As for the specifics, I'll come back to them later... Rest assured, this matter is not troublesome to Cousin Mafa, so I won't hide it from you. First, how I knew that you were going to the Tulan Mountains…” After stopping, Leon looked at Ross with a strange expression. ”In fact, I learnt of your destination because of Ross…”
”Nonsense!” Ross rebuked.
If Lin Yun weren't there talking to Leon, Ross would have already attacked him. 'That bastard Leon, slandering me. It's on you if you know our destination, don't go framing me, is there such great hatred between us?
