We will proceed according to plan.

In his heart, he didn't believe Ling Yushuang was that kind of person.

But the Chu Xinghe before him was highly experienced.

He could tell from that small test just now.

Ling Yushuang definitely had other thoughts about Chu Xinghe now.

This made him feel a bit frustrated.

"I've said it before, I really have no interest in her."

Lin Wentian was talented in cultivation, but when it came to the girl he liked, he was emotionally dense.

"Brother Lin, she dislikes you right now; you need to change her mind."

"A woman from a great Family like her doesn't lack suitors. You need to consider your strengths and weaknesses; playing to your strengths and avoiding your weaknesses is the right path."

Lin Wentian sighed.

Chu Xinghe stopped speaking.

These Children of Destiny were all cautious and unwilling to trust people easily.

However, Chu Xinghe had plenty of ways.

"What should I do?"

Lin Wentian pondered for a moment and looked at Chu Xinghe, asking.

Chu Xinghe was right; he truly had no advantage.

Even his efforts over the past few days weren't as effective as Chu Xinghe appearing for a single day.

This made him feel somewhat indignant, but he had no other choice.

"Brother Lin, if you trust me, I can help you win the beauty's heart, but I don't know if you're willing to sacrifice a few things."

"Why?"

Chu Xinghe took a sip of wine.

"Because the current you is quite similar to how I used to be."

"Except back then, I was even more desperate than you are."

Hearing Chu Xinghe's nonchalant words, Lin Wentian actually found it hard to believe.

Perhaps this was why Chu Xinghe had come up with methods to pursue girls.

"Let's go, let's find a quiet place to chat. Since you trust me, I will definitely help you."

"When the time comes, just return what she owes me as soon as possible."

Lin Wentian placed both hands on the table.

"Brother Tianming, why are you so persistent about those things?"

Seeing Chu Xinghe's extraordinary bearing, he shouldn't be lacking in such minor things.

Why was he so fixated on them?

Chu Xinghe stood up.

Lin Wentian followed beside him.

"This world is a giant chessboard, and everyone has their place. I saved her—that is the cause. Because I saved her, I must have offended some people—that is the effect."

"The powers in the Grand Void Heaven Realm are intertwined. Perhaps the people I offended are acquainted with my Family; at that time, these things will serve as an apology."

"Her background isn't simple. Since those people dared to kill her, they certainly don't care about her influence."

"Doing this is also to tell those people that my actions were unintentional, nothing more."

Lin Wentian fell silent.

He felt that Chu Xinghe was a heartless person.

However, this might also be related to his past experiences.

"I've said what needs to be said. As for whether you believe me or not, that's your business."

"Besides, if it weren't for Ling Yushuang, the two of us wouldn't have had any interaction at all."

Lin Wentian sighed.

"When I was young, I was homeless and wandered constantly. Just as I was about to starve to death, I was fortunately saved by someone."

Chu Xinghe nodded.

So she was that kind of White Moonlight.

"As for my strength and background, it's not convenient to reveal them. When I left, the Sect said that I shouldn't expose them until I reach a certain Realm."

"I'm just one step away, but I don't know how to take that step."

"Master said I've trapped myself, which is why he let me come out."

"He also told me that the person who has me trapped is in Tai Prefecture."

"When I descended the mountain, Master wrote a letter, saying it was all he could do for me, and hoping that when I return, I will have become a brand new person."

"Do her Family members know about you?" Chu Xinghe asked.

Lin Wentian nodded.

"I've met them once. I can only say they weren't disgusted, but they weren't close either."

"However, I could see dislike in her parents' expressions and behavior."

Chu Xinghe stopped walking and turned around to look at Lin Wentian.

"Your strength can't be exposed, and your background can't be exposed; that is indeed a bit troublesome."

"However, it's not like there's no room for manipulation."

Hearing Chu Xinghe's words, Lin Wentian's palms began to sweat from nervousness.

"Brother Tianming, do you really have no feelings for her?"

Chu Xinghe sighed.

"If I had feelings for her, I wouldn't be teaching you this. There are limits to how much I can help you, and some other methods might need to be used in the process."

"I don't know if you can accept that?"

Lin Wentian nodded after some thought.

Since the other person was already helping him like this, there was nothing to be concerned about.

Chu Xinghe also knew that this Child of Destiny wasn't particularly easy to deal with.

Especially the power behind this guy.

It would likely be a bit troublesome to handle.

The next steps would require Shifting the trouble elsewhere.

"First, what we need to do is clear her hostility toward you."

Lin Wentian's expression became serious.

"No matter what happens next, don't go rushing in eagerly."

"That will only make you look cheap and deprive her of any sense of novelty."

Lin Wentian seemed to be in thought.

"I'm afraid I can't do it."

"Even if you can't, you must."

"I will try my best."

Chu Xinghe nodded.

"You should know some beautiful female cultivators, right? Ones whose bearing and strength are not inferior to hers?"

Lin Wentian nodded.

"Then have them come over to provide an assist. If she looks down on you, but someone no less than her takes an interest in you, she'll get jealous."

"The prerequisite is to dispel her hostility toward you."

Lin Wentian nodded.

He felt that what Chu Xinghe said made a lot of sense.

"She told me a Secret Realm will appear here soon. We can use this time, plus the period after the Secret Realm ends, to win her over."

"Also, you must obtain the heavenly saint opportunity within that Secret Realm."

"Only then can you create a side of yourself that stands out."

Lin Wentian had already pulled out a Small notebook to take notes.

After Chu Xinghe finished speaking, he took out a contract.

"Sign it."

Lin Wentian looked at the contents, rendered speechless.

"Destiny helps Lin Wentian pursue Ling Yushuang. Lin Wentian shall be responsible for everything that occurs during this period and owes Destiny one heavenly saint opportunity."

"Brother Lin, if it's acceptable, just sign it to save yourself from doubting me."

Lin Wentian opened his mouth.

Come to think of it, doing it this way really did leave less room for doubt.

"Is Brother Tianming really that lacking in opportunities?"

Chu Xinghe sighed.

"All my previous opportunities were used to nurture others, and it all went down the drain. That's why I ran away; now I have to rely on myself for everything."

Lin Wentian gave Chu Xinghe a look of helpless sympathy.

It seemed this guy had truly been betrayed, and even the resources he gave were wasted; he was quite pitiable.

Only after experiencing such things would one need money so badly and summarize so much experience.

"Now, we begin the first step of the plan."

After seeing Lin Wentian sign his name, Chu Xinghe put it away.

"Saving a beauty in distress is the most effective method, but since you were like a simp before, saving her now would only make her feel repulsed. So, we need to use a different approach."

As Lin Wentian listened to Chu Xinghe explain the plan in detail, his eyes lit up.

"Good, this plan is brilliant."

The corners of Chu Xinghe's mouth curled up.

"Next, the plan will proceed in secret."
