Feng Yu's mind was now in a state of shock, but he didn't dare to show it outward as he looked at the familiar face etched to detail on the jade slip. While doing this, he couldn't help but ponder to himself as he feigned indifference.

"How can this be? Who is this woman to have such a clearly defined image of Uncle Junling?" He thought while now shifting his eyes to look at the beauty before him, but it was at this moment, he noticed that she was staring intensely at his face with a curious expression.

Cliff Leader Wen looked at Feng Yu's reactions in detail, even going as far as to use her energies to sense any slight changes that might have occurred within him. However, other than when his arm slightly trembled, his reactions were mostly considered to be average.

She frowned while in thought, "This fellow, he faltered only for an instant before returning to normal. He certainly knows something about that man..."

As she said this, her frown changed into a smile as she spoke, "Practitioner Yu Feng, please call me Wan Jia. I am sure we don't want to continue wasting each other's time, I know for a fact that you know that man, now all I ask is for you to give me an answer. What is your relationship with him, and where is he right now?"

Feng Yu hesitated for a bit as he thought to himself, "Tsk! This woman is truly too sharp; I can't deny it now as her senses are far greater than mine. It would seem that I'll have to improvise, as for how she could possibly be related to Uncle Jungling; I'll leave that for another time..."

After organizing his thoughts, Feng Yu smiled and replied with a distant expression on his face, "Ah... Senior Wan Jia, you meant my master, I've only ever met him once during my travels. The day I left my family, I stumbled upon him in a chance encounter, he saved my life from bandits you see... from that moment he imparted to me a few life-saving techniques and martial skills before telling me to seek my destiny. As for where he is now, I have no idea..."

As Feng Yu spoke, he made sure to keep his expression to one of a disciple that missed his master, casting a peek at Wan Jia's face from the corner of his eyes. Yet, what Feng Yu didn't expect was that Wan Jia's face had transformed into an expression much like that of his own.

Soon, a few teardrops could be seen rolling down her cheeks as she spoke in a trembling voice, "S-So h-he's still out there. Still traveling... thank goodness, I thought I-I'd never see or hear about him again, I'm glad... I'm happy that he wasn't just - a fantasy..."

"This woman... just what's the story between her and my uncle?" Feng Yu muttered as he was astounded, much like the surrounding cliff elders who know her personally far more than he did.

Still, though surprised, Feng Yu didn't want to waste any more time pondering her and his uncle's past, he knew that Feng Junling had been a roamer for a long time, ever since they came to the outer content, it's only natural that he'd make quite a few 'encounters.'

Feng Yu took the chance when Wan Jia was caught up by her mood, as he swiftly bypassed her form and headed towards the entrance, leaving behind only his voice, "Well, I'm heading off, Senior Wan."

As if roused by his words, Wan Jia soon came to her senses, but before she could even do anything to gather more details, Feng Yu had already entered the chamber.

"Damn! Such a troubling boy, he dared to give this lady the slip!" Wan Jia cursed as she looked at the open entrance with a hint of anger, but soon, her face turned to one of amusement as she muttered.

"Heh, I guess it's like master... like disciple, no different from how he used to avoid my 'mood swings.' Oh well, since I know he's still out there and hasn't wandered off to the unknown, I'll have plenty of time to find him and interrogate him personally." As she said this, her eyes shone in an obsessive light, causing the eyes of even elder Han Zhifang and Pin Shou to shake as they muttered.
