Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 525 - 303: Who is the Mole? (Part 1)_3

Lu Yu nodded, thinking there was such a possibility, "But why didn't she ask us to explore together?"

Chen Qingyun said in a deep voice, "It might be because of what happened a year ago—when Qingqing and Su Peng encountered an almost certain death situation, Su Peng desperately stayed behind to let Qingqing escape."

"So she doesn't want her companions to be put in danger because of her, that's why she decided to explore alone. If there were good things in the castle, Qingqing would definitely call us to go in together," Chen Qingyun affirmed.

"Lin Qingqing and Su Peng?" Lu Yu asked with some curiosity.

You can't blame Lu Yu for being talkative, it's just that the castle was too big. After all, it covered an area as large as the foot of a mountain, and there weren't any monsters or such opponents inside, making it hard for Lu Yu to become tense.

In boredom, he had to find something to talk about with Chen Qingyun, who also happened to want to understand Lu Yu and how he managed to train both Spiritual Power and Body Refinement simultaneously, reaching such a degree.

"Our squad is called the Qingpeng Squad, you should be able to guess the origin of the name?" Chen Qingyun said.

Lu Yu nodded and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it was founded by Su Peng and Lin Qingqing."

Chen Qingyun nodded and said, "That's right, the Qingpeng Squad was created by Qingqing using Su Peng's and her own names. The squad had only just been formed a year ago, and it was still a newly promoted low-level Celestial Tier squad."

"At that time, the squad urgently needed to develop, often taking on relatively difficult tasks. That way, the squad would receive better evaluations, making it easier to attract strong members to join."

"However, there was a major error in the mission intelligence one time, as Celestial Wind Academy underestimated the difficulty of the task, leading to significant losses for the Qingpeng Squad."

"During that incident, Su Peng desperately held back the enemies, allowing Qingqing to successfully escape back to the camp. Qingqing immediately sought the tutors of Celestial Wind Academy to rescue Su Peng, but by the time they arrived, Su Peng was already gone."

"After they killed the enemy, they still didn't find Su Peng's trace. At that time, Qingqing thought he was dead and was heartbroken, regretting daily that she should have lived and died with Su Peng instead of fleeing."

"However, a month later, Su Peng miraculously appeared at the camp's gate, with even greater strength, having broken through the Qi Sea Realm bottleneck to become a Core Formation Realm Martial Cultivator."

"As to where Su Peng went during that month and what happened, we still don't know."

Chen Qingyun looked at Lu Yu and said, "Aren't you his close brother? Maybe you can ask him. This matter has become a thorn in Qingqing's heart. Perhaps you can help Qingqing and Su Peng remove this thorn and restore their relationship."

After hearing Chen Qingyun's story, Lu Yu had some guesses in his heart.

If he wasn't mistaken, Su Peng might have really died at that time, sacrificing himself to give Lin Qingqing a chance to escape, killed by the enemies.

However, since Su Peng was a player, he possessed the Seed of Demons, allowing him to resurrect.

His disappearance for that month might have been the time when he had just revived and his strength was restoring, hence he didn't appear to others.

As for the breakthrough in realm, for players, isn't that an easy thing? As long as the conditions are met and experience points accumulated, breaking through a realm is just a matter of moving a finger.

"What about you? How did you manage to cultivate both Spiritual Power and Body Refinement at the same time?" Chen Qingyun asked curiously.

Lu Yu said calmly, "Just like that, training. Every day I practice a bit of Spiritual Power Cultivation Technique, then a bit of Body Refining Technique."

Chen Qingyun felt a bit frenzied inwardly, roaring internally, "How is that possible, be honest with me."

Although he really wanted to know how Lu Yu managed to double cultivate without falling behind in his cultivation, Chen Qingyun also understood that cultivation is a core secret for a Martial Cultivator, even family might not necessarily be told, so he didn't continue pressing.

Boom~ Suddenly, there was a sound in the empty corridor. The two were startled, but quickly reacted, exchanged a look, and saw the look of excitement in each other's eyes.

The boredom was really too much, just walking all the time. Both of them were impatient to encounter the castle's monsters.

The two quickly sped up, running toward the source of the sound. After two turns, they saw a prison cell, where the sound had just come from.

Lu Yu looked into the prison cell, surprise appearing in his eyes.
