Cave 692

Ma Lanyou indeed grew cautious, or rather, Ma Lanyou had never trusted Lin Feng in the first place.

It made sense, after all, cultivators were all about the survival of the fittest, quick to escalate conflicts into fierce battles, with life and death at their whim!

Lin Feng's arrival had already alerted Ma Lanyou; how could a few short sentences possibly earn her trust in him?

If Lin Feng's strength had been inferior to Ma Lanyou's, she might have felt somewhat assured, since even if Lin Feng exhibited signs of betrayal, she could strike him down on the spot to eliminate any future threat!

But now the situation had changed, Lin Feng's strength far surpassed that of Ma Lanyou, having easily broken the Seven Emotions Illusion Array, she stood no chance against him!

Therefore, it was best to remain cautious!
