Long Qingtian certainly didn't have such means.

However, his own master's wife did possess them.

Now, when his master's wife told him that her strength wasn't as formidable as Long Qingtian's, Wang Ye truly didn't believe it.

Mian Xiaoxue, seeing Wang Ye's disbelief, felt somewhat helpless and spoke to Wang Ye, "Actually, it's not just me who can do this, you can too. It just puts some strain on the body."

Only then did Wang Ye realize that, although he was fine, Mian Xiaoxue's body was covered in blood. It was clear that, in the moments before, Mian Xiaoxue's arrival had caused her body great strain.

"The reason Long Qingtian didn't do this might be because, in our era, due to the wars of the past, a large number of powerful beings perished, and the weaker ones simply never cultivated to that level, resulting in a gap in the continuum of levels."

"Thus, it's highly possible that he either doesn't know how to apply this aspect of power or, maybe he knows that such a method exists but just doesn't know how to use it," she added.

It was then that Wang Ye believed Mian Xiaoxue's words. After all, Mian Xiaoxue was his master's wife and should have no reason to deceive him in this regard.

"You can achieve this too. Next, I will teach you how to do it. If you can master this skill, it will give you a significant advantage in escaping from those foreigners," she explained.

"Deal!" Wang Ye said with a smile, quickly agreeing.

After all, the ability to tear through space and move directly from one end to the other was just as magical as described in fantasy novels. If he could master this ability, it would be incredibly exhilarating.

It would make many things much more convenient.

"Alright."

Mian Xiaoxue turned her head to look around. Despite this place being a mountain peak covered in snowdrifts and flurries of snowflakes, neither Wang Ye nor Mian Xiaoxue felt the slightest chill.

After all, with their strength, such temperatures posed no threat to them.

Yet, Wang Ye was curious.

Although the weather had started to get cold, the sudden drop in temperature had only happened in the last half a month. After this sharp decrease, it was still early November, so the weather was quite warm.

When he was wandering around Suye Group, he could hear employees saying that autumn had arrived—a season when one could see girls in 'bare-leg artifacts.'

The boys knew that the girls were wearing these 'bare-leg artifacts,' and even though they couldn't touch them, just the sight was enough to make them feel contented.

However, here, the snow was falling thickly. Although Wang Ye wasn't afraid of the cold, he could feel that the temperature was already below minus ten degrees Celsius.

Wang Ye judged that this place should be near Changbai Mountain.

In Dragon Country, probably only the Changbai Mountain area would have such temperatures.

Mian Xiaoxue spoke to Wang Ye, "There are ruins in the Changbai Mountain area. Many of the older generation of Martial Warriors knew this and many have come here to explore, but they all returned empty-handed."

"Legend has it that a man named Guo Yi came here to Changbai Mountain, discovered powerful forces, enhanced his own strength, and dealt with what was called an Assassin organization."

Mian Xiaoxue relayed this information to Wang Ye while he listened and surveyed his surroundings. He could see nothing but the vast expanse of pristine snow, and beyond that, nothing else was discernible.

Wang Ye, a bit stiffly, turned his head in the direction of Mian Xiaoxue and, fighting the urge to vehemently complain, asked her:

"Mistress, you couldn't possibly be thinking of having the two of us scour this place and unearth the ancient ruins right here and now, could you?"

Wang Ye felt that Mian Xiaoxue must be joking.

After all, so many people had come to this mountain in search of it, with plenty of time to spare, yet none had managed to find the exact location of the ancient ruins.

And now, with only a limited amount of time left, for Mian Xiaoxue to want to bring him here and find the ancient ruins was simply an impossibility.

Never mind whether there were ancient ruins here in the first place, even if there truly were such ruins, it wasn't as if one could just say they'd be found and they'd be found just like that.

"Of course not."

Mian Xiaoxue looked at Wang Ye with some disdain; she felt that Wang Ye's intelligence was far inferior to Wang Yifeng's.

Given the tight schedule, she naturally wouldn't bring Wang Ye to undertake a task that was uncertain.

Since she had already taken Wang Ye here, that meant she had long since discovered the ancient ruins.

"Your master, together with me, had once come to this place and found these ancient ruins. At the time, because your master's technique of discovering ancient ruins was so formidable, many people followed us here, and after we discovered the ruins, they planned to get rid of us," Mian Xiaoxue explained.

"They wanted to take possession of the ruins for themselves."

"However, your master's techniques were too powerful, and they didn't even get a chance to use their tactics before they were dealt with by your master."

As Mian Xiaoxue spoke, her face was filled with pride: "Only, that old fellow really thought I was dead and returned to his own world."

Having spent a great deal of time with Wang Yifeng, Mian Xiaoxue was privy to many things; as Wang Ye listened, he pondered the meaning behind her words.

"At that time when we entered the ancient ruins, your master and I decided not to inherit the items inside. Your master mentioned that neither of them was compatible with the relics within the ruins," Mian Xiaoxue recounted.

"He warned that taking out the items from the ruins rashly might provoke the beings within, asserting that he would cultivate someone compatible with the ruins, who could then safely retrieve the items."

After speaking, Mian Xiaoxue looked at Wang Ye.

Without Mian Xiaoxue having to say anything more, Wang Ye understood that he was the one Wang Yifeng had nurtured—to be compatible with the ancient ruins, as Mian Xiaoxue had alluded to.

"So, from the very beginning, my master had already left quite a few trump cards for me?"

Wang Ye was suddenly moved.

Though Wang Yifeng was gone,

He hadn't completely left.

He was still helping him.
