Chapter 329: You Are Not from This World
Facing Gu Yi for the second time, Lin Rui felt more cramped and nervous than the first time. Gu Yi is still the uncle with a smile and kind expression, but Lin Rui, who had already felt Gu Yi's strong strength just now, could no longer face it so calmly.
"Thank you for coming, Phantom Knight. We should thank you and Mr. Stark for what happened last time, if you hadn't discovered the anomaly in the first place and isolated the area, there might have been unnecessary casualties. While Lin Rui was still staring at him, Gu Yi said while taking two steps towards the center of the room.
Call~
Walking to the floor in the center of the room, the ancient one sat down directly.
"Uh...... That's what we're supposed to do. And we didn't really do anything. Hearing Gu Yi's words, Lin Rui couldn't figure out his intentions, so he could only follow his words.
"Come and sit, don't be so restrained. He had already sat down, and Gu Yi greeted him with a smile after seeing Lin Rui still standing there.
"Mr. Phantom Knight, please. After Gu Yi greeted him, Master Yunmeng, who was standing in front of Lin Rui, also walked over with a smile and stretched out his hand to speak.
"Oh! Okay! Thank you!" Seeing Master Yunmeng's movements, Lin Rui reacted and hurriedly agreed.
Call~
After a few steps, he walked to the opposite side of Gu Yi and sat down, and Lin Rui had almost completely recovered at this time. Only then did he realize that the two mages Daric and Devon, who had come in with him, had left without knowing when. However, Lin Rui won't care too much about these things now.
After Lin Rui sat down, Master Yunmeng naturally poured him a cup of tea. didn't speak again, Gu Yi took a sip of the cup in front of him first.
"Thank you. After thanking Master Yunmeng again, Lin Rui politely picked up the cup and took a sip.
Drinking the warm tea made Lin Rui feel like his whole body was gradually warming, and the taste of this tea was also very fragrant, anyway, it should be the best tea Lin Rui had drunk in his two lives.
"Yunmeng, you go to the back first, I have something to talk about with Phantom Knight alone. Seeing that Yun Meng sat aside and didn't move after pouring a cup of tea for Lin Rui, Gu Yi suddenly said.
Hearing Gu Yi's words, Master Yunmeng's eyebrows furrowed slightly, she didn't expect Gu Yi to let her leave. Yun Meng, as the most talented mage under the Ancient One, is also the most trusted person of the Ancient One, and the Ancient One rarely has anything that she doesn't know. However, although there were some doubts in his heart, Yun Meng still nodded and stood up silently and left.
Seeing the beauties around him get up and leave, Lin Rui could only watch silently. In the end, there were only two people left in the entire room, Lin Rui and Ancient One. And the Ancient One Mage had a smile on his face from the beginning, and Lin Rui couldn't guess what the Ancient One was going to say now. So, he could only wait.
Call~
Just as Lin Rui was silently waiting for Gu Yi's next words, the wind that blew in from nowhere blew in front of Lin Rui, and the tea in the cup on the coffee table in front of him rippled slightly.
"Phantom Knight, you're not from this world, are you?" Just as Lin Rui's eyes were looking at the cup of tea in front of him, Gu Yi's voice came again, calm as if it was an inconsequential matter to someone.
......
Lin Rui: "!!"
Gu Yi's tone didn't sound like there was any change, although Lin Rui didn't look up at Gu Yi, he could also guess that Gu Yi must be smiling at this time. However, Gu Yi's sudden words directly made Lin Rui's whole body freeze there.
Although it was a question, it was clearly an affirmative sentence in Lin Rui's ears. Gu Yi, the supreme mage of the earth mage lineage, he actually knew that he was not from this world! His biggest secret was directly seen through in front of Gu Yi! This was the only thing Lin Rui could think of at this time, and it was also the reason why his whole body was tense and frozen.
Call~
Another breeze blew, and Lin Rui's frozen body slowly returned to normal. Then, Lin Rui, who lowered his head slightly, slowly raised his head after his face changed many times.
"Ancient One Mage, do you really need me to answer this question?" Looking at the Ancient One in front of him with a flat look, Lin Rui asked calmly.
Now that his biggest secret has been seen through, Lin Rui will no longer plan to forcibly pretend to be stupid. For Tony, Lin Rui can pretend to be stupid, after all, Tony can't know his secret, and he won't do anything to himself. But Gu Yi is obviously different, as a supreme mage, Gu Yi revealed his biggest secret as soon as he saw him, Lin Rui didn't feel that he still had the need to pretend to be stupid.
"Hehe, you're very calm. Okay, take off this somewhat shielding suit on you, it's not going to work for me anyway. Seeing Lin Rui's calm attitude, Gu Yi was a little surprised, but he didn't care, and then said to Lin Rui.
"In the face of the Supreme Mage, you can't be calm!" A wry smile appeared on his face, and Lin Rui replied as he put away the phantom suit.
Call~
In front of the Supreme Mage Ancient One, the phantom suit on Lin Rui's body quickly faded, and finally all of them contracted and disappeared into the bracelet on Lin Rui's left hand. Then, Lin Rui's slightly immature face, which had not yet fully grown, appeared in front of Gu Yi.
At the moment when he saw Lin Rui's real face, Gu Yi, who was still very calm and kept smiling, still showed an obvious look of surprise. The phantom suit's shield of spiritual power really couldn't stop a supreme mage like Gu Yi, but Gu Yi hadn't fully seen such a young face under that mask before.
"How old are you, are you eighteen?" staring at Lin Rui's face for a few seconds, Gu Yi finally couldn't help asking.
"It's almost seventeen, but is there anything important about this?" was a little surprised Gu Yi asked such a question, but Lin Rui still answered honestly.
"Seventeen, that's really young! But, like you said, it really doesn't matter. Hearing Lin Rui's answer, Gu Yi said with some emotion.
Speaking of which, Lin Rui didn't know the age of the ancient one, but at least he was more than a hundred years old. Although these mages are much older than ordinary humans, the ancient one is now considered an advanced age, and he doesn't know how many years he can live. So Gu Yi sighed when he saw that Lin Rui was so young and already had such strength.
"So, Ancient One, can you tell me now how you know? "He has already shown his truest side in front of Gu Yi, and Lin Rui now just wants to know how Gu Yi knows that he doesn't belong to this world. After all, Lin Rui thought that he should not have revealed any flaws.
Hearing Lin Rui's words, Gu Yi's eyes, who were still a little emotional just now, suddenly became a little sharper and looked at Lin Rui.
"Your soul does not belong to this world. When Lin Rui was once again stiffened by Gu Yi's look, Gu Yi gave an answer.
