Lure the snake out of its hole.

The System expressed that it couldn't understand its Master's thoughts.

However, following the Master's footsteps would certainly not be wrong.

【Master, what exactly is this Wen Rushui doing? Didn't she take the initiative to seek out the Child of Destiny? Why does she want to kill him now?】

"I do have some guesses, but I can't be sure yet. Once that plan ends, I should be able to see Wen Rushui's purpose."

"Also, do you know why that fat sheep cannot be touched?"

【I don't know. 1.2 million destiny value, it's such a pity. I wonder what kind of Child of Destiny can be matched with such a high-luck female.】

【I really want to catch them and kill them.】

"Do you think it's possible that she was intentionally lured out by Wen Rushui?"

【Intentionally lured out? Why?】

"Haven't you noticed that, unconsciously, Wen Rushui is always able to discover the traces of the Child of Destiny?"

"Whether it's by using me or using Zhongli Qingmeng, she is killing those Children of Destiny."

【I don't understand; you humans' thoughts are too complex.】

"Perhaps she is experimenting, looking for someone she can control, who also possesses my methods for dealing with the Children of Destiny."

"This time, she is thinking of using a Child of Destiny to deal with a Child of Destiny."

"But every Child of Destiny is not someone who can be easily manipulated. Even when facing a strong opponent, they dare to gamble on that little bit of cunning."

【If that's really the case, why not choose the Master or Zhongli Qingmeng?】

"Zhongli Qingmeng is not someone who can be easily manipulated. Don't forget, the Zhongli Family also has many old monsters. What if they see through her schemes and cause trouble for her?"

"The second reason is, haven't I already died?"

【That's right, the Master has already died. It's just that some methods make her feel like the Master is still alive, which is why she keeps testing.】

【If the Master keeps not appearing like this, and she can't find you, won't she use Jiang Wanyin?】

Chu Xinghe nodded.

"You're right. That's why next, I need to let her deduce some traces, to make her believe I am still alive."

After Chu Xinghe finished speaking, he raised his finger to stroke the strings of the immortal demon zither.

A layer of light flickered on the strings.

"Old friend, I have to use you again this time."

Chu Xinghe's eyes were filled with calculations.

【Master, do you have other tricks?】

"The fat sheep cannot be touched, but that doesn't mean we can't lure the snake out of its hole."

【Forget it, I'll go look for loopholes.】

In Guanxin Tower.

Dantai Jingyue looked at the person in front of her.

His demeanor was restrained, like a scholar.

But he also gave her a very dangerous feeling.

"You don't even say your name, and you even say that I am about to die. Do you know what this sentence could bring upon you?"

Shi Jingfeng felt the pressure from Dantai Jingyue, but his expression remained calm.

He sat down calmly and poured himself a cup of tea.

"A Named Disciple of Mo Ru; it's not worth mentioning."

At these words, Dantai Jingyue's expression changed slightly.

This guy was actually able to get Mo Ru to take him as a Named Disciple; he does have some ability.

"Was this a message Mo Ru asked you to bring me?"

Shi Jingfeng shook his head.

"It is something I wanted to tell the Saintess. You being out of the Family means you are in danger."

Dantai Jingyue was almost amused to the point of laughter.

"So, you're saying I can only stay in the Family and cannot come out?"

Shi Jingfeng shook his head.

"It doesn't matter if the Saintess comes out alone or with others. If Wen Rushui takes the initiative to call you out, you are in danger."

This was the first time Dantai Jingyue couldn't understand a young person.

"I am actually a bit interested. Tell me more."

Shi Jingfeng stood up.

"That is all I will say."

After saying this, he left without any hesitation.

Dantai Jingyue was stunned.

What kind of person is this?

Acting all mysterious.

This feeling of being left hanging is really uncomfortable.

Who are the young people learning this from nowadays?

Not straightforward at all.

Dantai Jingyue rubbed her temples.

"Grandpa Xin, can you see through this young man?"

"This kid cannot be underestimated. If I am not mistaken, he is Cultivating his heart, not his strength."

"I can vaguely feel a Saber Intent on him; I reckon it should be the Heart Blade."

Dantai Jingyue's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"To have cultivated the Heart Blade at such a young age... even for people from ancient clans, with the assistance of elders, it would be very difficult to succeed, right?"

"This thing depends on Comprehension Ability. Some people can't touch it even in their entire lives, while others can enter it very quickly."

"As long as this kid doesn't fall, he will definitely become a titan in the future."

"Young Miss, are you wanting to take him in as a subordinate?"

Dantai Jingyue nodded.

"He is just a Named Disciple of Mo Ru. I can provide him with resources, find him a Master even more powerful than Mo Ru, and enable him to increase his strength rapidly. I wonder if he would be tempted."

"Young Miss, try thinking from a different perspective." Grandpa Xin's voice rang out.

"What?" Dantai Jingyue didn't understand.

"He came over on his own initiative, clearly knowing your background, Young Miss. If I were him, I would say I am a Disciple of Mo Ru. As for whether it's a Named Disciple, being vague makes no difference."

"But he still took the initiative to mention it, which can only mean that in his heart, Mo Ru is not worthy of being his Master."

Dantai Jingyue's eyes widened.

"It can be like this?"

"Yes, I'm afraid Mo Ru might even be proud to have a Named Disciple. The young people nowadays are truly remarkable."

"Moreover, I can vaguely feel that he seems to be following in someone's footsteps."

Dantai Jingyue took a deep breath.

"We'll just have to investigate it."

After Shi Jingfeng left, he found Chu Xinghe.

Even though he had now cultivated the Heart Blade, he still couldn't understand Chu Xinghe's unconstrained ideas.

The two of them carried wine flasks.

Sitting on the cliff edge.

Looking at the full moon in the sky.

Blowing in the cold wind.

"Are you used to being out?"

Chu Xinghe asked.

"It's just a little bit unaccustomed." Shi Jingfeng didn't hide it.

Chu Xinghe looked up at the sky.

"This world is like this; there are too many things to get unaccustomed to."

"But if we want to survive, we must adapt to the world, not have the world adapt to us."

Shi Jingfeng didn't answer, clearly deep in thought about something.

After a while, he revealed a smile.

"You are right; it is we who need to adapt to the world."

"Unless we can create a world of our own; only then can we make the world adapt to us."

Chu Xinghe nodded.

"Even though I can Cultivate the Heart Blade, my state of mind is still not as good as yours." Shi Jingfeng took a big gulp of wine.

"Look down." Chu Xinghe said.

Shi Jingfeng looked at the bottomless cliff.

It was pitch black, like a layer of black cloth covering it.

Shi Jingfeng carried the wine flask and leaped down.

His eyes were already closed.

Chu Xinghe shook his head.

He also leaped down.

Both of them let their bodies fall naturally.

A quarter of an hour later, the two reached the ground.

Their feet touched the solid ground.

Shi Jingfeng looked up.

"The abyss eventually has a bottom, but the heart has no bottom."

"It was I who bound myself."

Shi Jingfeng closed his eyes.

Adjusting his breathing a few times, he seemed to merge with his surroundings.
