Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability

Chapter 1793: Chapter 1793: Just an Excuse

“It’s been a busy time, and only now have I found a moment to come and see Young Sect Master Xie. I haven’t even had lunch yet.” Wan Yan said with an embarrassed smile, and quite pretentiously reached out to pat his own stomach.

“I don’t know if you’ve had your meal, how about, you join me for lunch?” he asked.

Upon hearing, Wan Yu’s lips curled into a slight smirk.

He had never before seen Wan Yan trying so hard to ingratiate himself with someone.

He couldn’t help but think to himself with a grim amusement: if Wan Yan found out that the person he was trying so hard to flatter was the illegitimate son he had always disdained, would he simply vomit himself to death?

“I…”

He was about to refuse, not wishing to get involved in any affair of the Thousands of Demons Sect.

But before he could finish, the telepathic message from Qian Jiyun reached his ears, suggesting that he should go and take the opportunity to learn more about the Thousands of Demons Sect.

His gaze flickered, and though he did not know what Qian Jiyun meant, he still decided to follow his advice.

“Then I will humbly accept the invitation, I’m afraid I am imposing on Young Sect Master Wan,” he said.

“Not at all, not at all, you are too modest,” replied Wan Yan, his heart easing immediately when he agreed, quickly shaking his head to indicate it was no trouble.

He was extremely curious to find out whether this inter-plane traveler’s arrival at the Thousands of Demons Sect was accidental or deliberate.

If it were deliberate, their own Thousands of Demons Sect rose to power relying on Wulong Mountain, which honestly did not have much to do with Huayan Peak.

Yet if it were accidental, such coincidence was surely too convenient.

In his heart persisted a nagging suspicion: could it be that Huayan Peak and Wulong Mountain had developed some sort of disagreement and Huayan Peak was now vying for influence over Wulong Mountain in the major planes?

But Wulong Mountain had never been a place one could simply enter at will, including the current state of the Qianyuan Plane, where few had access to Wulong Mountain.

With Wulong Mountain as their backbone, the Thousands of Demons Sect would naturally welcome an additional support.

Yet if they were asked to forsake Wulong Mountain for allegiance to Huayan Peak, that would undoubtedly be impossible. If that were the case, they must think about how to deal with this inter-plane traveler.

That was also his father’s intent in having him attempt this probe.

If the inter-plane traveler couldn’t be seen, then information might still be gleaned from his followers.

So, he was ready to lead Wan Yu to his palace, but Wan Yu just stood there immobile, causing Wan Yan to feel puzzled and he stopped to look at him.

“Young Master, you…”

“Didn’t Young Sect Master Wan come to visit Young Sect Master Xie?” Wan Yu reminded him.

He did not wish to be alone with Wan Yan. Although the man seemed inoffensive at first glance, he was quite scheming on the inside, and he feared a careless move might reveal his true identity.

With Xie Qi present, the dynamic would be different; Xie Qi was talkative and often knew how to divert attention.

Wan Yan: “…”

He had merely used Xie Qi as an excuse just now.

Of course, he couldn’t exactly voice that out loud, could he? Therefore, he could only feign a sudden realization, raising his hand to slap his forehead.

“Right, if you hadn’t reminded me, I would have forgotten,” he said.

Inside the tightly shut room, Xie Qi: “!!!”

How could he have forgotten? It was clear he had never held him in mind at all.

Hehe, so he was just an excuse when needed, and now that his purpose was fulfilled, he was cast to the back of his mind?

Taking a deep breath, Xie Qi, leaning on the door, spun around, ready to open it, but then he heard the voice of the fifth elder from behind.
