"Oh, Huo Yan wanted to head home to have a look, so I brought him back. I spent some time wandering through the mountains and doing some training while I was at it."
Lin Fei had his excuse ready. He knew there was no way to hide his late-night activities from his Seventh Martial Uncle, who possessed a keen Soul Sense. However, he wasn't worried about Huang Huoyun discovering Qingqing’s presence; the Trapped Dragon Pool was protected by a powerful isolation array. Unless Qingqing intentionally gave herself away, it would be impossible for anyone to find her. The only reason Shen Yue had discovered her last time was that Qingqing had accidentally leaked her spiritual aura while practicing.
"Hmm, very good. With that kind of diligence, you’ll certainly have a good shot at the sect’s newcomer martial arts tournament!" Huang Huoyun nodded slightly and offered a word of praise. His mission was to supervise and train Lin Fei, with the specific goal of getting him into the top ten of the newcomer tournament. Seeing Lin Fei so motivated, he was naturally pleased.
