Primordial Emperor-Chapter 1613 - 1612: Impersonation

The next day, Lin Chen left early in the morning. When he passed by the Martial Arts Practice Ground of the Yellow Hall, he unexpectedly saw Zi Ling pacing around near the Martial Arts Arena, occasionally glancing at the current Yellow Hall.

"Senior Sister, good morning! I didn't expect you to be up so early today." Lin Chen greeted Zi Ling immediately upon seeing her.

Usually, he rarely saw Zi Ling up this early. This violent girl was always one to stay up late and sleep in, giving them a hard time during daily training.

...

Zi Tianyi had been in a coma for thirty-six years. Today, she awoke early and wandered around the Yellow Hall, determined to see what changes had occurred in the Yellow Hall over the past twenty-six years.

It must be noted that the Yellow Hall was initially established by her, and she was its bona fide mentor. She had always lived there, long considering it her home, even having built her cultivation site within it.

At this moment, as the morning sun just emerged, Zi Tianyi saw a handsome young man walking out from the direction of the Yellow Hall accommodation.

Looking at the young man, Zi Tianyi immediately recognized his cultivation at only the Eighth Layer of the Nirvana Realm, recalling the Lin Chen mentioned by Zi Ling.

Zi Tianyi was about to greet him when she saw Lin Chen already waving and calling towards her.

Clearly, Lin Chen mistook her for his daughter Zi Ling.

Seeing this, Zi Tianyi did not rush to correct Lin Chen. She decided to assume Zi Ling's identity to learn more about Lin Chen and see what kind of person he truly was.

"Junior Brother Lin Chen is up so early." Zi Tianyi looked at Lin Chen with a faint smile, her demeanor revealing tenderness.

Lin Chen was stunned as he looked at Zi Tianyi's smile, then glanced at Zi Ling, noticing her simple attire, unlike her usual flamboyant self.

Today, he felt something seemed different about Senior Sister Zi Ling, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was off.

In the past, Zi Ling was never one to smile, let alone with such serenity.

But today, Lin Chen was dressed simply and smiled with calmness. If she didn't step in to discipline someone, who would have thought she was that violent maniac who would lash out at the slightest provocation?

The woman's speech, conduct, and demeanor were all completely different from the Senior Sister Zi Ling he knew.

Lin Chen's heart secretly sneered. He decided to go along with it to see who was pretending to be his Senior Sister Zi Ling and what their true motives were.

Skeptical, Lin Chen activated the Abyssal Eye and found the woman before him hadn't used any disguising technique, indicating she truly was his Senior Sister Zi Ling.

But the question was, why was Zi Ling acting as if she was a different person today?

"Senior Sister Zi Ling, why are you dressed like this today? At first, I thought someone had the audacity to impersonate you in the Yellow Hall." Lin Chen looked at Zi Ling, curiously asking.

Under the scrutiny of his Abyssal Eye, all illusions were laid bare, and from Lin Chen's observation, the woman wasn't an impostor. Perhaps Zi Ling had some peculiar ideas and thus dressed like this.

However, Lin Chen could never have imagined that the woman before him wasn't his senior sister but Zi Ling's mother, Zi Tianyi.

This couldn't be blamed on Lin Chen. After all, Zi Tianyi looked very much like Zi Ling, and Lin Chen had never met Zi Tianyi, so it was natural for him to mistake her.

Hearing Lin Chen's words and seeing his initial suspicious gaze, Zi Tianyi thought Lin Chen had seen through her identity.

But hearing what Lin Chen said now made her feel that although Lin Chen was doubtful, it seemed he hadn't recognized her.

Yet, because of Lin Chen's earlier expression, Zi Tianyi was also a bit puzzled, secretly pondering whether Lin Chen's words were deliberately testing her.

After all, according to Zi Ling's description to Zi Tianyi, Lin Chen was quite crafty, and she feared falling into his trap if she wasn't careful.

"Hmph, if you want something from me, just say it. No need to beat around the bush and test me like this." Zi Ling looked at Lin Chen, letting out a soft snort.

Zi Tianyi, although not having been in contact with her daughter for more than twenty years, still understood her personality quite well.

Listening to Zi Tianyi's words, Lin Chen broke out in a cold sweat. It seemed Zi Ling was still the same, her violent temper unchanged. Perhaps she dressed like this to change herself?

Worrying that his sudden disruption might annoy her and provoke a beating, who could he complain to then?

"Senior Sister Zi Ling, you've misunderstood. How dare I have any designs on you. I still have matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first." Lin Chen bowed to Zi Ling and prepared to leave hastily.

However, just as Lin Chen was about to leave, he suddenly noticed an extremely sinister Yin Sha Qi surrounding Zi Ling's heart veins.

This was a black aura, the most intense Yin Sha Qi Lin Chen had seen so far.

Lin Chen's expression changed dramatically at the sight. He immediately stepped forward, grabbing Zi Tianyi's wrist with a serious look.

"Senior Sister Zi Ling, when did you contract such a deadly poison? This fierce Yin Sha Qi..."

Zi Ling looked at Lin Chen, secretly laughing to herself.

She had initially thought of finding some excuse to keep Lin Chen here for further conversation, wanting to learn more about Lin Chen and her daughter's affairs.

After all, Zi Ling was grown up now and wouldn't tell her mother everything, especially regarding her personal matters with Lin Chen. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

However, just as Lin Chen was about to leave, he suddenly returned, grabbing her wrist and bringing up the "excuse" of Yin Sha Poison. Clearly, there were untold secrets between him and Zi Ling.

Although Zi Tianyi was aware that the Yin Evil Cold Poison inside her wasn't completely eradicated and was suppressed within her heart veins to the extent that even a Creation Realm Peak cultivator might not detect it, how could Lin Chen possibly see through it?

"While in those Ancient Ruins, I fell victim to a plot by those Black Yan Hall individuals. It's no big deal." Zi Tianyi naturally assumed Lin Chen deliberately used this reason to "get closer" to her, so she went along with Lin Chen's words, intending to see what Lin Chen was really up to.

"What do you mean, 'no big deal'? This Cold Poison Evil Yin Energy has already reached your heart veins and could erupt at any moment. Not even gods could save you then."
