Chapter 7: Ling Lan’s True Identity

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As she continuously walked over, the fog that originally enveloped her face slowly dissipated.

This sexy and tall woman finally slowly revealed her true appearance.

The moment he saw her face, Xu You’s pupils suddenly constricted, and his expression was a little shocked.

“It’s you!”

Xu You did not expect that the person whose strength surpassed the Great Elder of the Treasure Pavilion would be her.

Ling Lan!

He had just seen this person walk out of the fog. When he saw her figure and the charming and sexy aura on her body, he had some thoughts.

However, in the end, he did not associate the person in front of him with that Ling Lan.

After all, the strength displayed by the two of them was really worlds apart.

After seeing her face clearly, Xu You became certain.

The person in front of him was Han Yi’s passionate girlfriend back then and the person who had framed him.

Back in the cave, she had almost been seen by Han Yi during the process of intercepting the information about the Treasure Pavilion.

Xu You happened to pass by at that time and became her scapegoat.

Then, she deliberately fabricated everything about her relationship with Xu You and said in front of Han Yi that she had a private meeting with him before escaping.

It was also because of this that Xu You was hated by Han Yi, causing the subsequent series of events.

When he thought of this, Xu You’s expression became a little ugly.

“Who are you? How did you walk out of the cave?”

Xu You had previously felt that it was strange. When he was in the cave, the other members of the exploration team were all there, but Ling Lan was nowhere to be seen.

When Ling Lan heard this, she covered her red lips and chuckled.

After a long time, after finally stopping laughing, Ling Lan spoke again, “Xu You, you don’t have to worry about how I walked out of the cave.”

“As for who I am… I’m naturally Ling Lan.”

As she spoke, Ling Lan’s gaze sized up Xu You, and some interest slowly appeared in her eyes.

“Let me tell you something. I’ve taken a fancy to you. That’s why I let you have it easy previously and spent the night with you.”

“However, I thought that you would die in the cave this time. I didn’t expect… you to actually give me such a huge surprise.”

“You can escape from Han Yi and even obtain the treasure inside… It’s naturally worth my approval.”

Hearing this, the expression on Xu You’s face changed slightly.

From what Ling Lan said, he roughly knew some information.

From the beginning to the end, he had been treated by her as a scapegoat.

When he thought of this, Xu You’s eyes focused slightly and he said, “Then you spent so much effort and hid your strength. You didn’t even hesitate to spend the night with me.”

“What… is this for?”

Hearing this, Ling Lan chuckled and simply snapped her fingers.

“You’re very smart. You got to the point immediately.”

As she spoke, she rubbed the space between her eyebrows as if thinking about how to answer this question.

After a while, she spoke again.

“Thousand Chance Building… have you heard of it?”

Hearing this, Xu You immediately raised his eyebrows.

He naturally knew the organization of the Thousand Chance Building.

Just like the Treasure Pavilion, the Thousand Chance Building was also an organization that explored mystic realms and treasures.

The strength of this organization was similar to the Treasure Pavilion. In the early stages, it had many conflicts with the Treasure Pavilion.

After so many years, not only did the hatred between the two sides not resolve, it even deepened because of various conflicts.

Today, there was no doubt that the two organizations were sworn enemies.

When Ling Lan suddenly mentioned this, Xu You made some connections.

Looking at Xu You’s expression, Ling Lan chuckled.

“Yes, you’re right. I’m from the Thousand Chance Building.”

Seeing Ling Lan admit it so bluntly, Xu You was a little surprised.

“So, what’s your goal in coming here this time?”

When Ling Lan heard this, she chuckled.

“As a spy planted in the Treasure Pavilion by the Thousand Chance Building, I’m naturally here to steal the secrets of the Treasure Pavilion.”

“I came to the cave this time because of the secret treasure inside.”

As she spoke, her gaze swept past the corpse of the Great Elder not far away.

“I helped you deal with the Great Elder this time. I’m helping you and also helping myself.”

As she spoke, she sized up Xu You with surprise.

“Originally, I came this time because I had obtained information that there was a Dragon Pearl in the mystic realm here.”

“This thing even tempted me. Therefore, I simply followed you into this cave.”

“I didn’t expect… you to be one step ahead and obtain the Dragon Pearl.”

When Xu You heard this, the expression on his face became slightly serious. He subconsciously took a step back.

Ling Lan naturally noticed his change. She chuckled and said, “I don’t have to snatch the Dragon Pearl in your body, right?”

Xu You did not relax at all and still looked at Ling Lan in fear.

The method that Ling Lan had just displayed made him have no choice but to be wary.

Seeing this, she shook her head helplessly.

“I’ve already told you that I’m no longer interested in your Dragon Pearl, but I’m very interested in you.”

As she spoke, Ling Lan continued, “I have the mystic realm map of an A-rank mystic realm, the Fallen City. I obtained this by chance.”

“To explore this mystic realm, I don’t want to rely on the Thousand Chance Building or benefit the Treasure Pavilion. The cost of involving these two organizations is too much.”

“Therefore, I want to be independent and find someone to explore this mystic realm with me.”

As she spoke, Ling Lan’s gaze slowly locked onto Xu You.

“You are the person I want to find and cooperate with.”

Hearing this, the expression on Xu You’s face changed slightly, but Ling Lan did not care about his reaction and continued to speak.

“In the next period of time, try your best to organize your own treasure-seeking team.”

“At that time, I’ll support you in entering the Fallen City.”

“As for the treasures we obtain at that time, the two of us will rely on our own ability. How about it?”

Hearing this, Xu You did not answer immediately. Instead, he stood on the spot and fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Ling Lan did not rush him. Instead, she stood on the spot confidently and looked at Xu You’s changing expression.

“Phew…”

Xu You’s gaze froze.

He had to admit that after his relationship with the Treasure Pavilion fell out, there was not much he could do.

According to the Great Elder, it would not be long before the Treasure Pavilion sent people to pursue him!

The suggestion proposed by Ling Lan seemed to be the best path he could take!

Thinking of this, Xu You nodded. “Alright, I promise you.”

Hearing this, Ling Lan immediately smiled.
