You are Chu Xinghe? A terrifying guess.
Even if Chu Xinghe really wanted to kill Wen Rushui, he couldn't show it.
Through the matters of Gongsun Wuji and Lin Wentian, he could see Wen Rushui's maneuvers.
She was testing whether he was still alive.
Chu Xinghe's gaze calmly met Wen Rushui's.
His eyes even held a trace of amazement and surprise.
Those emotions flashed and vanished.
A ripple arose in Wen Rushui's heart.
A completely different look in his eyes.
But just now, this Chu Xinghe had that aggressive Aura.
And his methods were exactly the same as that disciple's.
"I'm sorry, I cannot give you this Face."
Chu Xinghe refused directly.
He had finally caught an opportunity.
Of course, he wouldn't give it up.
Wen Rushui took a step forward.
She suddenly leaned in close to Chu Xinghe.
There was only a fist's distance between the two of them.
"Why didn't you tell me you were alive?"
Chu Xinghe subconsciously took a step back.
His expression held surprise, strangeness, and the look one gives an idiot.
"What do you mean?"
Just as Chu Xinghe asked, he seemed to have a sudden realization.
"Holy Lord, you have the wrong person; I am not him."
Wen Rushui's eyes were calm.
"You are him. There's no need to act. How much longer do you intend to maintain this disguise?"
"I am very familiar with you. Even if you change your Face, I still recognize you. You are him. Chu Xinghe, do you truly hate me this much?"
Hearing this, Chu Xinghe's eyes showed impatience.
"Holy Lord, I respect you, so I call you Holy Lord, but I am myself, not someone's substitute."
"If your head is sick, go get it treated. What kind of madness are you venting here? Does the Holy Lord think I, Chu Xinghe, am easy to bully?"
"Or is it because I refused the Holy Lord, so you want to find a reason to kill me?"
At this moment, Chu Xinghe's tone was full of dissatisfaction, but there was no killing intent.
Releasing killing intent toward a super-powerful expert was an act for fools.
This was the world of Cultivation; did she think it was a game?
Human life was the cheapest thing here.
Wen Rushui watched Chu Xinghe's series of changes.
She sighed in her heart.
Is it really not him?
Why were the methods so familiar?
Even the way he dealt with these people was somewhat similar.
Always pressing them step by step.
It was as if he were invisibly weakening the Luck of such people.
It was the same for the previous few people as well.
Moreover, just now, Chu Xinghe's eyes held pure dissatisfaction.
He could even endure and restrain his killing intent.
If it were Chu Xinghe, his reaction to her words just now would have changed.
But the Chu Xinghe before her did not show those emotions.
Or perhaps...
He had anticipated this scene long ago.
He had rehearsed it countless times in his mind.
Only then would he behave like this today.
"Pardon the intrusion."
Wen Rushui turned and left.
After taking just two steps.
She suddenly whipped her head around.
She met Chu Xinghe's gaze.
It was a look that said she was crazy and boring.
There were no other changes at all.
Chu Xinghe's heart suddenly began to beat faster.
He became guarded.
He put on a look of "what are you going to do now?"
At this time, he couldn't show normal emotions.
Otherwise, this woman would truly become suspicious.
This woman was not someone a Supreme could deal with.
From her move that day, Chu Xinghe could sense it.
The Wen Rushui before him should be at the Pseudo-Emperor Realm.
Many people took note of Wen Rushui's behavior.
Inside the private box, Zhongli Qingmeng watched Wen Rushui's performance.
Her eyes held a trace of surprise.
"What do you think?"
The Shadow looked at Chu Xinghe outside.
"His performance is normal; he likely isn't Young Master Chu."
"Wen Rushui is also testing him. Even she isn't sure if Young Master Chu is still alive."
Zhongli Qingmeng sighed.
"I wonder what Wen Rushui is actually trying to do. Even if she knows he's alive, so what?"
The Shadow shook its head.
"Her thoughts are hard to fathom. Even the Matriarch has said many times that she doesn't understand Wen Rushui's thinking."
Zhongli Qingmeng sighed.
This Shadow was someone by her mother's side.
It knew Wen Rushui.
Yet even it couldn't guess Wen Rushui's thoughts.
"Young Miss, if Young Master Chu is still alive, how do you think we could make him appear?"
Hearing the Shadow's question, Zhongli Qingmeng instinctively began to think.
Suddenly, she thought of someone.
She blurted out.
"Jiang Wanyin."
The Shadow nodded.
"Indeed. If Young Master Chu is truly alive, there is only one person who can make him come out, and that is Jiang Wanyin."
"Young Miss mentioned before that Jiang Wanyin underwent Reincarnation and her current location is unknown. Furthermore, the Reincarnation Divine Body is very mysterious, making it extremely difficult to investigate. However..."
The Shadow did not finish the rest of its sentence.
Zhongli Qingmeng already understood its meaning.
"If it's truly as the Heavens Secret Pavilion says, that Jiang Wanyin is Wen Rushui's dao body, then Wen Rushui will definitely make the Reincarnation Divine Body appear to test if he is still alive."
"If he really is still alive, he will definitely show up."
"Of course, it's also possible that Wen Rushui can deduce the location of the Reincarnation Divine Body and use Jiang Wanyin to force him out."
"But with Wen Rushui's continuous testing, what on earth is she up to?"
"The Heavens Secret Pavilion only said there was a seventy percent chance; they didn't state the result as a certainty."
Zhongli Qingmeng was also a bit confused.
Hmm?
She didn't know what she had thought of.
Zhongli Qingmeng's eyes narrowed.
"Do you think there's a possibility that the Heavens Secret Pavilion was also created by Zhongli Qingmeng?"
Hearing this, the Shadow's eyes were filled with surprise.
"That's unlikely, isn't it?"
"Wen Rushui is from the Ancient Era, but the Heavens Secret Pavilion has existed since the heavenly ancient era Era; they are separated by an entire Great Era."
Zhongli Qingmeng shook her head.
"What I said is also a possibility."
"Void, Chaos, Innate, Gods and Demons, Ten Thousand Races, Desolate Ancient, heavenly ancient era, Ancient Era, Primeval, Middle Ancient—plus this era—who knows how many things are hidden."
"After the great war of the Gods and Demons and the Age of Ten Thousand Races, the Grand Void Heaven Realm was a desolate wasteland in the Desolate Ancient Era, devoid of life. The Heavenly Dao intervened, creating the heavenly ancient era Era, and only then did the Grand Void Heaven Realm continue to develop."
"This Wen Rushui might be one of the measures arranged by the Heavenly Dao after its intervention."
"After the Desolate Ancient Era, it was almost impossible for Great Emperor experts to appear in the Grand Void Heaven Realm."
"At that time, some experts predicted that a Great Emperor would appear in the Ancient Era, but our Zhongli Family knows that no such Great Emperor appeared."
"No one could have predicted why things turned out this way."
"Even our Zhongli Family cannot deduce it."
"If Wen Rushui really is one of the measures reserved by the Heavenly Dao..."
Zhongli Qingmeng suddenly stood up.
Her pupils quivered.
The Shadow also thought of something, its pupils contracting.
Its body even trembled slightly.
"After Chu Xinghe appeared, he constantly helped me, allowing me to grow rapidly."
"But when Chu Xinghe died, she didn't show her Face."
"This was the situation she wanted all along."
"During the Ancient Era, my Zhongli Family was targeted once. Later, my mother and father cooperated, which allowed the Zhongli Family to escape."
"Wen Rushui withdrew from the struggle for the Great Emperor position, and no Great Emperor appeared in the Ancient Era; could that have been Wen Rushui's arrangement?"
"In this life, my Zhongli Family is being targeted again. A change might occur, and my Zhongli Family might have an opportunity. What Wen Rushui wants to do is completely stifle this opportunity."
"That's why she turned a blind eye to Chu Xinghe's death."
Zhongli Qingmeng felt that everything could now be explained.
