124: Chapter 124 A Thousandfold Return, The Secret of the Previous Word!!

Lin Yi suddenly spoke.

"It's quite rare to see you like this."

Su Yuxi glared at him.

"You seem quite pleased with yourself."

Lin Yi shook his head.

"It's not being pleased."

"It's being happy."

"At least this shows that you've put me in your heart."

Su Yuxi's face heated up.

"Stop being so full of yourself."

Lin Yi didn't argue with her, raising his hand to bring that strand of golden Dao Rhyme before her eyes.

"This thing was originally meant for you."

Su Yuxi looked at the strand of Dao Rhyme, her breath hitching for a moment.

The Imperial Dao Laws within it were extremely dense.

It also carried ancient insights.

Wang Lie's Ancient Emperor Saint Body had originally inherited a portion of the Imperial Dao traces.

After being refined by the immortal burial coffin, all the Impurities were gone, leaving only the purest Dao.

She knew better than anyone how precious this thing was.

"For me?"

"Then what about Qingyue?"

Lin Yi said,

"I have other arrangements for her share."

"Take yours for now."

"You've been undergoing the Fusion of the Dao Fruit recently, so you're exactly in need of this."

Su Yuxi looked at him, and most of the sourness in her chest dissipated instantly.

She held back a smile.

"You certainly know how to coax people."

Lin Yi pressed the Dao Rhyme directly into her palm.

"It's not coaxing."

"It's that you should have been ranked first; you're the boss!"

Su Yuxi's fingertips trembled.

She looked up at Lin Yi.

The emotions she had been suppressing for a long time suddenly vanished completely.

She had wanted to keep a straight face for a bit longer.

But when Lin Yi's words struck her, she actually found it a bit hard to hold out.

"You really know the right things to say."

Lin Yi said,

"It's just the truth."

Su Yuxi gripped the strand of Dao Rhyme tightly.

"If you had also stuffed this thing into Wanqing's hands today, I wouldn't have acknowledged you tonight."

Lin Yi smiled.

"Then I really wouldn't dare."

Su Yuxi rolled her eyes at him.

"Is there anything you don't dare to do?"

Lin Yi raised his hand and tucked a stray lock of hair from her temple behind her ear.

"Yes."

"If I make you truly angry, I'll have to spend a lot of effort to coax you."

The tips of Su Yuxi's ears turned even redder.

She swatted Lin Yi's hand away, her voice lowering considerably.

"Don't give me that."

"I'm not that easy to coax."

Lin Yi leaned back.

"Is that so?"

"Then give me back that thing in your hand."

Su Yuxi immediately pulled the Dao Rhyme into her palm.

"You want to take back something you've already given?"

Lin Yi sighed intentionally.

"As expected."

"The Female Emperor has a stubborn mouth, but her hands are fast."

Su Yuxi couldn't hold it in this time, and the corners of her lips curled up.

Just as her smile appeared, the Innate Dao Fetus began to circulate on its own, and the golden Dao Rhyme in her palm vibrated gently.

The next moment.

The entire hall lit up.

Ancient runes spread out from her palm.

Golden light cascaded down.

Imperial Dao pressure filled the surroundings.

Su Yuxi sat cross-legged, her long hair falling, her dress swaying gently as she instantly entered a meditative state.

Lin Yi put away his smile and raised his hand to set up several layers of Restrictions.

As soon as the Dao Rhyme entered her body, the Innate Dao Fetus within Su Yuxi resonated with it.

An ancient Dao Seal lit up on her forehead, and strands of fragmented Imperial Intent were drawn out.

Even a portion of the Dao Fruit left from her previous life began to slowly rotate.

The golden light grew brighter and brighter, suppressing the entire Imperial Garden.

Shen Qingyue, who was guarding outside, looked up and raised her hand to add another layer to the Barrier.

"It seems Yu Xi's harvest this time is not small."

Inside the room.

Su Yuxi formed seals with her hands, Dao Rhyme flowing around her body.

Lin Yi stood by and watched, when a familiar notification suddenly sounded in his ear.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the host for gifting the Destined Female Lead Su Yuxi, Imperial Rank High Grade—Ancient Great Emperor's insights!]

[Triggered Thousand-Fold Return!]

[Obtained Reward: Imperial Rank Top Grade—Qian Secret!]

[Qian Secret: One of the Ancient Nine Secrets. When activated, one can seize the initiative, predict the trajectories of all laws, and glimpse into the immediate future!]

The voice faded.

A massive amount of information surged into Lin Yi's Sea of Consciousness.

His body stiffened, and the veins on his temples bulged.

The next moment, everything around him changed.

Where the steam from the teacup would drift.

Which path the Spiritual Qi would flow along.

When the fallen leaves outside the hall would blow in.

He could even see clearly which way the lamplight by the window would flicker in the next instant.

Not only that.

This secret technique targeted the Primordial Spirit directly.

It allowed for deduction, prediction, and the ability to lock onto killing intent a step ahead.

Lin Yi stood in place, his internal Qi fluctuating as he instantly immersed himself in it.

Su Yuxi was refining the Dao Rhyme, but she still kept a strand of her mind on him.

She sensed something was wrong and immediately opened her eyes.

"What's wrong with you?"

Lin Yi suppressed the vibration in his Sea of Consciousness and uttered two words.

"Epiphany."

Su Yuxi didn't ask further.

She waved her hand, spreading out Dao light to cover Lin Yi as well.

"Then sit down and refine it."

"I'll watch over you."

Lin Yi sat cross-legged.

The methods of the Qian Secret unfolded bit by bit in his Sea of Consciousness.

Details that were difficult to capture in the past were all clear now.

The power of his Primordial Spirit within his body grew rapidly.

An invisible ripple spread from his forehead and was quickly retracted.

The sound of the wind outside the hall grew even softer.

Shen Qingyue stood outside the door, her sleeves fluttering as she blocked all noise for the two of them.

Time passed bit by bit.

Su Yuxi finished refining that strand of the Great Emperor's insights first.

She opened her eyes and flipped her palm, several golden Dao patterns flowing at her fingertips.

Her aura had deepened by another layer compared to before.

Just as she was about to speak, Lin Yi also opened his eyes.

However, as soon as he opened his eyes, he glanced toward the hall door.

"In three breaths, Wanqing will rush in."

Su Yuxi was startled.

"What nonsense are you talking about now?"

Lin Yi continued,

"The first thing she says will be:"

"'There are too many accounts, I'm not going to be the Imperial Daughter anymore.'"

Su Yuxi stared at him.

"Did you break your brain while Cultivating?"

Lin Yi didn't reply.

He raised his hand and poured himself a cup of tea.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Just as the third breath arrived.

The hall door was pushed open with a "bang."

Chu Wanqing rushed in holding her skirt, followed by Shen Qingyue carrying a large stack of account books.

Chu Wanqing shouted as soon as she entered.

"Brother Lin Yi, there are too many accounts, I'm not going to be the Imperial Daughter anymore!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her footsteps also stopped.

Because Lin Yi was holding his teacup, and even the rhythm of him raising his head hadn't faltered.

Su Yuxi set down her teacup, looked at Chu Wanqing, and then looked at Lin Yi.

"You actually got it right."

Chu Wanqing was stunned, blinking her large eyes as she said:

"Brother Lin Yi, Sister Yu Xi, were you eavesdropping on me?"

Lin Yi took a sip of tea.

"No."

"Your next sentence is: 'Which old accountant brought over three hundred years of old records?'"

"'And making me read them page by page? If my father keeps this up, I'm running away from home.'"

Chu Wanqing's mouth hung open.

She froze on the spot.

Behind her, Shen Qingyue walked in carrying a stack of Jade Scrolls, her steps steady, though her sleeves couldn't quite hold the scrolls down.

Su Yuxi really burst out laughing this time.

"Wanqing, your little thoughts have been completely seen through today."

Chu Wanqing tossed the small booklet in her hand.

"Something's not right."

"Something's very not right."

"Brother Lin Yi, you've actually learned how to foresee the future?"

Lin Yi put the teacup back on the table.

"More or less."

"In another three breaths, you will stuff the thickest one into my arms."

Chu Wanqing subconsciously looked down.

In her arms, the thickest Jade Scroll was indeed right on top.

Before three breaths were up.

She had already stuffed that Jade Scroll into Lin Yi's arms.

As soon as she made the move.

Chu Wanqing herself was stunned.

"I..."

Su Yuxi leaned against the corner of the table, her shoulders shaking with laughter.

"It seems it really wasn't eavesdropping."

Shen Qingyue put down the Jade Scrolls and also gave Lin Yi a look.

"Qian Secret?"
