Jiang Wanyin may simply be a Taoist incarnation of Wen Rushui.

Ling Yushuang's expression shifted; if Chu Xinghe hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten.

She suddenly looked at Chu Xinghe before her.

Was the name Destiny fake?

Could it be that this fellow in front of her was the person she had treated?

"It seems you've remembered."

Chu Xinghe stood with his hands behind his back.

[Pah, pah, pah! Master is truly shameless, deceiving a young girl.]

[This female lead is also truly foolish.]

"You're that little brat?"

Chu Xinghe turned his head to look at Ling Yushuang.

"You're the little brat; I'm older than you."

Ling Yushuang was still a bit skeptical.

However, after Chu Xinghe described that previous scene, Ling Yushuang no longer had any doubts.

"Who could have thought that the little brat I saved back then would grow up to be like this."

Ling Yushuang couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.

"Why did you lie and say your name was Destiny? If you are Lin Wentian, then what's the deal with the Lin Wentian inside?"

"You saved my life before, and I saved yours later, so I gave myself this name."

"Lin Wentian is already a very distant name, so distant that I've almost forgotten it."

A look of reminiscence appeared in Chu Xinghe's eyes.

Coupled with his previous experiences, a sense of loneliness and solitude welled up.

It made Ling Yushuang feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Actually, you shouldn't have been involved in this matter."

Chu Xinghe faced Ling Yushuang.

"What do you mean?"

"Back then, I wasn't a beggar; I had a happy family. Everything was destroyed by a faction. I only know that faction is called Mount Sumeru; I don't know anything else."

"He should be from Mount Sumeru. He hid it well, but I can never forget that loathsome aura."

"My existence has already made certain people wary once again."

After Chu Xinghe finished speaking, he inadvertently revealed a hint of his True God Realm cultivation.

Ling Yushuang stood frozen in place.

This money-grubbing fellow before her...

...was actually the person she had saved when she was a child.

And now, he had even broken through to the True God Realm.

It was practically like a fairy tale.

At a similar age, she was only at the Emperor Sealing Realm. Above that were the Heaven Ascending, Void God, and finally the True God Realms.

If he were given a bit more time, there's no telling what achievements he might reach.

"Once they sensed my existence, they were bound to strike again, and you are their target."

Ling Yushuang was stunned.

"Why?"

Chu Xinghe's expression was serious.

"Without the you from back then, there would be no me today."

"Remember the person I mentioned in the restaurant?"

"Actually, that person was you."

"It's just that I couldn't say it in front of them."

"I wasn't sure how much they knew about the history between us, and I didn't want to deepen our connection, or else your life would be in danger."

Ling Yushuang stood there, dazed.

Looking at Chu Xinghe's sincere gaze...

...she couldn't help but feel a bit excited.

"Actually, I know about your Physique."

This single sentence made Ling Yushuang freeze.

"What's my Physique?"

Ling Yushuang laughed it off.

"A Physique suitable for dual cultivation," Chu Xinghe said bluntly.

Ling Yushuang fell silent.

Chu Xinghe took out a jade pendant.

"If you trust me, take this. It can mask your Physique. Your parents didn't cover it up carefully enough."

This item of Chu Xinghe's was naturally condensed through his cultivation.

It wouldn't last for very long.

However, the Destiny Void Body was inherently untainted by Karma and could not be divined.

It could help mask Ling Yushuang's presence.

Only in this way could the play continue.

And only then could he gain more benefits.

"He already suspects my identity and might send reinforcements."

"You must not trust anyone. If necessary, don't even trust me."

"Mount Sumeru's methods are insidious; sometimes, I might not even be myself."

Chu Xinghe said no more and turned to leave.

Ling Yushuang stood there, at a loss.

For a moment, she didn't know who to believe.

But one thing was certain.

Chu Xinghe was indeed the person she had saved as a child.

He even knew the details.

"Father, Mother, please investigate Lin Wentian. He seems to know about my Physique."

[The female has developed killing intent toward the Child of Destiny, and the rift between them has widened. The Child of Destiny's destiny value has decreased by 10,000, the female's by 5,000, and Master has gained 500,000 destiny value.]

Upon hearing this, the just-departed Chu Xinghe's lips curled upward.

Truly not bad.

He glanced at the System interface.

Master: Chu Xinghe

Age: 20

Strength: True God Early Stage (5,000,000)

Physique: Destiny Void Body

Cultivation Technique: Void Derivation Scripture

Martial Skills: Teleportation, Heart Demon Lure, Heaven Intercepting Finger

Weapons: demon refining pot, purple gold gourd

Mount: nine dragon carriage (Great Saint Early Stage Pure-blood Flood Dragons)

destiny value: 1,533,500

Inventory: None

He had already obtained 1.1 million destiny value.

It seemed that only by killing a Child of Destiny or a female could one obtain a massive amount of destiny value.

Qiu Sirou from the Tianyan Holy Land and that Shui Nianji weren't dead yet.

However, Chu Xinghe didn't dare to send anyone there right now.

That Wen Rushui was no joke.

While Chu Xinghe was strolling about...

...the people nearby were all leaving in a hurry.

Chu Xinghe was completely bewildered.

"I heard the Goddess of the Zhongli Family has come to cause trouble for the Hong Family."

"Is that the person who wiped out the Shui Family and drove the Hall Master of the Killing God Hall and the Great Yu Emperor to their deaths?"

"Yes, that's the one with the Devil Body. It was found that someone named Chu Xinghe had appeared at the Hong Family before."

"Hurry up and leave Yuan City. Once that female devil goes crazy, the entire Sea City might be devastated."

A look of surprise flashed in Chu Xinghe's eyes.

That female devil was actually quite cute.

The "cute" Zhongli Qingmeng Chu Xinghe spoke of...

...was sitting in the seat of honor at the Hong Family.

Every member of the Hong Family was kneeling in the main hall.

The hall was pin-drop silent.

Everyone was breaking out in a cold sweat, terrified of offending the ancestor sitting above.

"Young Miss, no one saw Young Master Chu appear."

Hearing these words, a bloodthirsty red light flickered in Zhongli Qingmeng's eyes.

Just who was it that killed you?

You didn't even give me a sign.

"Young Miss, some clues were found in a dried-up well thirty kilometers away."

Shadow One stepped out of the void and spoke to Zhongli Qingmeng.

"Let's go."

After Zhongli Qingmeng left, flames soared into the sky over the entire Hong Family.

Illuminated by the firelight, Zhongli Qingmeng looked like a flaming rose.

She looked up at the distant sky.

"Anyone who is suspicious, I will clear them out."

"No matter who they are or what their background is."

"Until I can no longer lift my blade."

"Or until I am dead, only then will it end."

"As long as I live, I will find a way to resurrect you."

"Even if I have to sacrifice the entire Grand Void Heaven Realm."

"Young Miss, there is news from the Heavens Secret Pavilion regarding the matter you asked to investigate."

Zhongli Qingmeng stopped in her tracks.

"What did they say?"

Shadow One hesitated; she didn't know if the Young Miss would go mad after hearing this news.

"Stop hesitating; where are your manners?"

"He is already dead; there isn't much left for me to care about."

Shadow One steeled herself.

"Jiang Wanyin might only be a dao body of Wen Rushui."
