As she continued to follow this line of thought, Fei Ke Xin became more and more alarmed.
She sat up from the bathtub all of a sudden, panicking and exclaiming in a low voice, “Mr. Luo is a six-star martial artist, if he can’t see any cultivation on Ye Chen, then only two possibilities exist, either Ye Chen doesn’t have any cultivation at all, or he must be above a six-star martial artist!”
“Moreover, if it’s above a six-star martial artist, then it may not be a seven-star martial artist, but rather above the top!”
“If Mr. Luo was really killed or controlled by him, then his cultivation level is, as Master Yuan said, already at the Dark Realm!”
“And! He also chose the place for today’s meal, deliberately choosing such a remote place, was it really just to give me a taste of the local specialties?”
“Coincidentally, the only thing that went wrong with the CCTV footage around the place he chose was that he didn’t find any valuable clues!”
“Moreover, Ye Chen wasn’t with me the whole time we were eating, he went out to take a phone call in between! If he was a Dark Realm expert, then the time he spent answering the phone would have been enough for him to make a move on Mr. Luo!”
Thinking of this, Fei Ke Xin felt her heart suddenly beat more than twice as fast, the intensity of her heartbeat even shook her chest with a sharp pain!
In her heart, she knew very well that if her guess was right, then it would prove that everything Ye Chen had shown in front of her was all a show, or even a deliberate attempt to confuse herself.
Fei Ke Xin was instantly flustered.
There was only one possibility for Ye Chen to act in front of himself, and that was that he had recognized himself and knew his true motives, so he wanted to give himself a trick.
Fei Ke Xin also knew that if she was really recognized by Ye Chen, it would prove that her mission to come to Jinling this time was a complete failure.
Moreover, not only would her plan to find the Spring Return Pill fail, but even if Ye Chen knew her true identity, it would probably implicate her grandfather’s plan to attend the auction normally.
If that was the case, wouldn’t she become a sinner in grandpa’s eyes?
Thinking of this, Fei Ke Xin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Her greatest fear now was that Ye Chen would not only detect her motives, but also find out her identity as Fei Ke Xin.
If that was the case, she would be completely powerless.
If Ye Chen only detected her motive but did not discover her true identity, then there was still a silver lining to the matter.
After all, she and her grandfather had originally planned to adopt a double insurance approach; even if this path of her own was blocked, at least it would not affect her grandfather’s ability to come to the auction normally.
As long as Ye Chen did not know her true identity, she would be able to isolate the risk by not following her grandfather to the auction at that time.
As soon as the call was answered, she hurriedly said, “Grandpa, I am at risk of being exposed, so from now on, until the end of the auction, I will not contact you again, and you do not need to contact me. I won’t be attending this time.”
Fei Jianzhong was shocked and asked, “What’s going on? Did something unexpected happen again?”
“No.” Fei Ke Xin said truthfully, “I am afraid that I have been exposed in front of the owner of the Spring Return Pill, and I now suspect that he is behind Mr. Luo’s disappearance, in which case I have probably offended him, and if he finds out about my relationship with you, I am afraid that it will affect your participation in the auction.”
