Jiang Caiying’s mouth curled up: “Yang Chen, stop pretending. You’re the first one to enter the Heavenly Palace, and you must have obtained that map. The only person who could have come to this inner area earlier than me would be you. Don’t think that you can hide from me just by changing your appearance. Although I don’t know what method you used, I’m sure that you are Yang Chen without a doubt.”

Seeing that he couldn’t continue to hide it, Yang Chen didn’t have any other choice: “What do you want?”

“It’s simple, Yang Chen. I don’t want to waste words either. You are a genius as well, and it’s not easy for me to deal with you. However, you should know that the difference in our martial arts cultivation is too great, and it’s impossible for you to win against me. So just hand over the key obediently. Only those who know the current affairs are the true heroes, and I believe that you should have the courage to do so.” Jiang Caiying shouted.

Upon hearing this, Yang Chen was not happy: “Why should I give the key to you?”

“In that case, let’s fight.” Without saying anything else, Jiang Caiying moved her hand, and in an instant, unlike the single rainbow needle she used just now, four or five rainbow needles appeared at the same time.

These four or five Rainbow Needles appeared simultaneously, each entwined with a rainbow thread that seemed like a real needle thread. Yang Chen was very clear about the power of the Rainbow Needle; the most powerful part was not the needle itself, but the rainbow thread behind it. This rainbow thread was formed by streams of True Qi and was extremely powerful!

If one was hit by it, they would either die or suffer severe injuries.

Seeing Jiang Caiying take action once again, Yang Chen felt his scalp tingle and quickly said: “Jiang Caiying, what’s the rush? Do you really think that your Rainbow Needle can do anything to me?”

Hearing Yang Chen’s words, Jiang Caiying couldn’t help but pause, looking into Yang Chen’s eyes: “From what you’re saying, it seems like you know a lot about my master’s secret technique, the Rainbow Needle.”

“What do I know about the Rainbow Needle?” Yang Chen said seriously: “Jiang Caiying, is your master Mei Xiuying?”

Jiang Caiying’s delicate body trembled slightly, looking at Yang Chen in shock, full of disbelief: “Yang Chen, my master never reveals her real name when meeting people, and she has been living in seclusion for decades without showing herself to others. How did you know my master’s name? Speak up, or I will take your life!”

Jiang Caiying was shocked, but Yang Chen was even more shocked.

At first, Yang Chen was just trying to test her, but he didn’t expect that Jiang Caiying’s master was indeed Mei Xiuying!

Who was Mei Xiuying?

In his previous life, among the many geniuses he had taught, there was a young girl named Mei Xiuying. She was only fifteen or sixteen years old when Hua Wanru assassinated him and killed him. The cultivation method he passed down to Mei Xiuying was this Rainbow Needle Technique.

This was a technique he had acquired from ancient books, and no one in the world had practiced it before. Moreover, practicing the Rainbow Needle required a unique physique, making the conditions extremely strict.

Therefore, when he saw the Rainbow Needle just now, he was a bit surprised and asked Jiang Caiying about her master curiously!

This question was the most shocking part for him…

A girl who was only fifteen or sixteen years old back then had now become a respected Elder, and she had been keeping a low profile for decades. It showed that Mei Xiuying was no longer the ordinary girl she used to be but had become a famous master known to all.

The question lay here!

How many years had passed between his death and reincarnation in this life?

At the beginning, he rarely thought about this issue and didn’t think there would be much time between the two. Different regions recorded time in different ways, so it was challenging to verify, and he was too lazy to think about it.

Now it seemed that there might not be just a moment between his previous death and this life as he thought.

“Yang Chen, tell me now.” Jiang Caiying pointed at Yang Chen and shouted loudly.

Yang Chen’s face tightened, and then he smiled faintly: “Jiang Caiying, my master and your master are best friends. So, we are family.”

“How can I believe you? How do I know that your master and my master are friends?” Jiang Caiying asked.

Hearing this, Yang Chen was almost sure that Mei Xiuying hadn’t told her disciple about himself. If she had, Jiang Caiying would have shown different reactions upon hearing his name instead of being so calm since his name remained the same in this life as his previous one.

Perhaps Mei Xiuying had forgotten about him since she was just a girl in her teens at that time.

He reckoned that after this incident, Jiang Caiying would tell her master about it. He wondered what kind of reaction the woman would have when she heard the name Yang Chen again. With so many people sharing the same name in the world, Mei Xiuying probably wouldn’t show any significant reaction.

With this in mind, Yang Chen sighed softly, feeling the coldness of the world, and said: “I once heard my master say that your master has a plum blossom mark on her left shoulder.”

“How did you know about that?” Jiang Caiying frowned, thinking that it was quite strange.

She knew what kind of person her master was, and for all these years, her master had never been intimate with any other man.

The secret of the plum blossom mark on her left shoulder was even more obscure. Only someone who had been very close to her master could know about it. Who was this man’s master, and how did he know?

Nevertheless, Jiang Caiying was almost convinced that he was telling the truth and said: “So, it turns out that your master and my master are friends; we’re not actually enemies.”

“I’m glad you think so.” Yang Chen shook his head with a wry smile.

He didn’t expect to meet the descendant of a girl he had taught back then.

And this descendant had lived longer than him in his previous life.

Yang Chen said: “Miss Jiang, since we are on the same side, let’s put aside our differences. I do indeed have the key to enter the inner area, and we can share it. However, the condition is that we will be on the same side from now on.”

“Of course.” Jiang Caiying agreed without even thinking. Since her master knew Yang Chen’s master, she was friends with Yang Chen.

Seeing Jiang Caiying agreeing so readily, Yang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

He couldn’t gauge how strong Jiang Caiying was, but he knew very well how powerful the Rainbow Needle Technique was that he had personally handed down. Considering her level in the secret realm, he thought she might rank in the top three even if she wasn’t the first(place).

Having such a powerful ally was certainly something he wanted to see.

As for sharing the key and entering the inner area together, it wasn’t a big deal.

With this thought in mind, Yang Chen waved his hand, “Miss Jiang, please.”

“Please.” Jiang Caiying was also very polite.

So, the two of them turned hostility into friendship, and together they stood in front of the gate of Tiandu City.
