"Who... who are you?" Gao Suyin gulped as she stared at the middle-aged man standing with his hands behind his back.
"That's what I should ask," The middle-aged man spoke. His voice carried a pressure, and the aura around him gave off an air of nobility.
"I am... I am Yin Su." Gao Suyin lied.
"Yin Su?" The middle-aged man smiled, "Or is it... Gao Suyin?"
A flash of shock passed through her expression before she regained her composure and frowned, "Who?"
"Gao Suyin." The middle-aged paused for a moment and continued, "Holder of the Token of Reality."
"You..." This time the shock in her eyes couldn't remain hidden. After a moment of thought, she removed the facade and accepted her identity. Her expression turned serious as a spear appeared in her hands.
With a heavy tone, she asked while taking a fighting stance, "Who are you?"
Her actions amused the middle-aged. "Child, you're a hundred years too early to challenge me. As for my name... you can call me Third Prince Ye."
Gao Suyin frowned, "Third Prince Ye...?"
Is he from the Great Ye Clan? Impossible!
"How are you related to Ye Tian Yun?" She asked with a careful tone and carefully watched the man's expression.
Third Prince Ye's smile receded a little, "How do you know Ye Tian Yun? He's not someone you would have met."
"What is it to you?" Gao Suyin tightened her grip over the spear, "Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun is a well-known figure, who has heard of the Great Ye Clan but hasn't heard of him?"
Third Prince Ye slightly nodded, "Indeed. Anyway, we're not here to introduce ourselves. Tell me, Gao Suyin, how did you enter the Nine Heavens Continent?"
Gao Suyin frowned but remained silent.
Gao Suyin frowned, "That's none of your business."
The Third Prince Ye shrugged, "Fair enough. Well, the reason I came here is that you entered the dungeon. But before I could reach here, your party was full - that meant, no one else could enter the dungeon."
"The minimum criteria for a party is two hunters. I only see you alone... where is the second hunter?"
Gao Suyin pursed her lips, "I don't know."
"You don't know?" Third Prince Ye frowned, "You both were able to kill the Burning Wolf King... I am sure he's at least in the Peak Foundation Establishment Realm. How come he failed to come out? Did the Scorching wolves take him out?"
"I... don't know." Gao Suyin lowered her head. She was now truly worried about Ye Tian Yun's well-being.
'He came in to find me... I hope he's safe....'
Third Prince Ye stared at her for a moment and said, "Let's go in."
"Hm?" as Gao Suyin stood there, the middle-aged man approached and went past her.
As for the buried, which was earlier blocking her, it disappeared as if it never existed.
"This..."
She was confused.
"Why are you not following?" Third Prince Ye paused his steps and then went through the soul gate.
Gao Suyin hesitated for a moment and then stepped towards the Soul Gate, and then, taking a deep breath, she went through it.
There are many questions yet to be answered, especially how this mysterious Third Prince Ye was able to see through her disguise and even knew her identity.
Still, the most important right now for her was Ye Tian Yun's whereabouts.
