Chapter 151: Clear Dao Heart, Scenario Selection Quest

Lin Yu’s reaction clearly showed that he recognized her, which truly surprised her.

Many people had heard her name, after all, she was the Saintess of the Wu Wang Immortal Sect in the Central Region.

But very few had actually met her; those were only people she was quite familiar and intimate with.

Even Supervisor Qin, who had brought Lin Yu in, had only heard her voice and never seen her face.

This was the first time since she began cultivating that something had surprised her.

Compared to this person’s relationship with Lin Yu, she was more curious about how this Lin Fei knew her.

She investigated Lin Yu entirely because Ye Xuan’s only enemy during his lifetime was Lin Yu.

This was the only useful information she found after learning of Ye Xuan’s death.

“Hmm… how should I put this? I wouldn’t say I know you, but I once heard a deceased good friend mention someone with an image like yours!”

Lin Yu’s mind raced, and a flash of inspiration struck him, instantly coming up with a solution. As for whether it would work, he could only wait for Shangguan Yunxi’s reaction.

Since the other party hadn’t seen through his true identity, there was still a way to maneuver.

Moreover, Lin Fei’s image was appearing for the first time, so it didn’t matter what he said.

As he spoke, he also took out the Dry Cauldron.

If he wanted her to believe him, he needed to produce some evidence.

“Dry Cauldron!”

Shangguan Yunxi murmured as she saw the small cauldron in Lin Yu’s hand.

A look of reminiscence appeared in her eyes.

After many years, things had changed, and people were no longer the same.

Ye Xuan’s death still had a certain impact on her.

After all, that was the obsession in her heart before she came to the Wu Wang Immortal Sect.

Her childhood memories had always remained.

She came to the Northern Frontier this time by taking advantage of the Sect’s search for someone; otherwise, her master wouldn’t have allowed her to come here.

And this time, she wanted to take Ye Xuan away.

After all, in the Central Region, she was not only the Sect Saintess but also one of the behind-the-scenes holders of the Wanmeng Chamber of Commerce.

She had her own power and could have allowed Ye Xuan to grow rapidly in the Central Region.

But, the person was gone, and even the Dry Cauldron she had left behind had fallen into someone else’s hands.

“Um, Yunxi, actually, there’s no need for you to be so sad. He had actually secretly married a Fox Girl from the demon race and even spent some time in the bamboo forest where you two were when you were young.”

Seeing Shangguan Yunxi lost in thought, Lin Yu decided to add another bombshell.

As long as the other party no longer dwelled on who killed Ye Xuan, he would be safe.

He still remembered that he had seemingly deliberately left behind a video of Ye Xuan and that Fox Girl engaging in intimate acts.

Now was the perfect time to use it.

With that, he placed the previously recorded memory stone on the tea table.

The content inside was quite explosive, and he wondered what Shangguan Yunxi’s reaction would be after seeing it.

Although everything he said was false, who could know?

The memory stone contained genuine evidence.

“Hmm? He… has a Dao Companion?”

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yunxi’s delicate body trembled slightly, and an indescribable bitterness surged in her heart.

At the same time, a clear trace of disbelief appeared on the peerless face hidden behind her mask.

Because, in her investigation, she had not found out about this matter!

Her beautiful eyes instinctively turned to the memory stone placed on the table, and she gently picked it up with her jade-like hand.

Accompanied by a faint flash of light, the memory stone was successfully activated.

However.

In just a brief moment, Shangguan Yunxi’s originally fair and jade-like slender hand tightened abruptly, and with a crisp “crack,” the memory stone instantly shattered into countless fine powders, slipping from her fingers.

At the same time, a faint blush quickly spread across her exquisite face.

Followed immediately by an extremely intense look of shame and anger.

She never expected that the scenes recorded in this memory stone would be so indecent and vulgar, simply a defilement of her eyes!

And what made her even more furious and annoyed was that Ye Xuan would actually do such a sordid thing with another woman in their secluded bamboo forest!

This… was unforgivable!

She was both ashamed and exceptionally enraged.

She had been thinking of bringing him to the Central Region.

Now it seemed she had truly been wishful thinking.

However, there was nothing more to say now, as Ye Xuan was already dead.

But the thought of avenging him had completely vanished.

Moreover, it was still uncertain whether it was Lin Yu or not, as there was no direct evidence yet.

At this moment, she no longer had any desire to continue investigating.

“You may leave!”

Shangguan Yunxi no longer had the desire to continue speaking with Lin Yu and said coldly.

Then she turned and walked back towards the riverside.

She had called Lin Yu here for Ye Xuan’s matter.

Now that she had dismissed that idea, there was nothing more to say.

As for whether the person in front of her was related to Lin Yu, it no longer mattered.

“Oh? This cauldron… you’re not taking it back?”

Upon hearing this, the stone hanging in Lin Yu’s heart fell.

However, what he didn’t expect was that this woman didn’t even intend to take back such an important cauldron; she didn’t even want to look at it again.

“This cauldron was his; it has nothing to do with me anymore. You can take it!”

Shangguan Yunxi, who had just shown a hint of emotional fluctuation, suddenly seemed to transform into a different person, instantly becoming exceptionally cold.

As if there was nothing left in the world that she cared about.

Tsk tsk tsk… her state of mind was truly remarkable.

Looking at Shangguan Yunxi’s back, Lin Yu couldn’t help but praise her in his heart.

In matters of emotion, she could pick up and let go; with wealth and treasures, whether to take or not, she didn’t consider their value, only what her heart desired.

She truly could achieve mental clarity in everything she did.

Adjusting her state of mind could be done in an instant, truly unique among all the people he had seen.

No wonder she could control her own destiny under the Heavenly Dao and become a Child of the Plane.

“Ding ~ Child of the Plane Shangguan Yunxi’s data has been generated. Please check it yourself.”

“Ding ~ Scenario selection quest triggered. Quest content is as follows:”

“Scenario Quest: 1. Kill Shangguan Yunxi, reward: Dao Proving Immortal Pill +10. 2. Conquer Shangguan Yunxi, reward: Destiny Shard +1, Destiny Kill Limit +5%.”

[Dao Proving Immortal Pill: After consumption by an Earth Immortal, one can prove the Dao to the Profound Immortal realm, ignoring Heavenly Dao rules.]

Just then, the familiar system prompt suddenly sounded in his mind.

Lin Yu had already grown accustomed to it and wasn’t surprised.

It would be strange if there wasn’t a system sound when such a powerful Child of the Plane appeared.

However, this scenario quest was somewhat novel to Lin Yu.

It was the first time he had seen a selective scenario quest.

One was to kill, one was to conquer, and the rewards were also different.

And each had its own benefits.

He had obtained Destiny Shards and the Kill Limit before, and they were indeed good things.

He had already integrated three Destiny Shards into his Main Star within his body.
