Chapter 506: Chu Xi's Information

However, Luo Feng's rise was too rapid, and he quickly replaced the patriarch at that time, dispatching Jiang Ling's father, who had pressured him, to handle matters in an outer domain.

The result, of course, was that he perished directly in the outer domain.

Jiang Ling, on the other hand, was an innocent casualty; not only was her engagement with Luo Feng broken, but she was also sent to handle matters outside the domain.

However, Jiang Ling had some opportunities of her own and did not encounter any accidents.

But, after her mission to protect Luo Xingchen failed, Luo Feng directly controlled her with the Time-Space Star Tower.

He ordered her to find the person who had killed the Fortune Clone and bring them back to the Luo Family for his disposal.

Yet, Jiang Ling did not do so; instead, she began observing Lin Yu's actions.

When Lin Yu battled the Yanjiang Star River, causing chaos among the forces of the Jinyan Star Region, and even escaped from the hands of the Luo and Ye families' experts, she knew her chance had arrived.

A chance to break free from Luo Feng.

She might even be able to avenge her father.

She didn't believe for a second that her father's death had nothing to do with Luo Feng.

This was also the primary reason Jiang Ling sought out Lin Yu.

Because, according to Jiang Ling, within the Immortal Burial Ground, the Time-Space Star Tower's control would temporarily fail, and she needed Lin Yu to find a way to remove the Time-Space Star Tower from her during that period.

She even had a method for removing it in mind.

However, she didn't elaborate on the specific method, only saying that she needed a partner with strong fortune and considerable strength.

As for Chu Xi's situation, Jiang Ling also explained it.

She was the little princess of the Chu Family in the Crazy Spirit Battle Domain.

The Chu Family was famous for its battles; it was an Immortal King Family forged through conflict, the kind that would fight at the slightest disagreement!

And the Crazy Spirit Battle Domain was right next to the Luo Family's Dragon Abyss Star Region, with a very long shared border.

Over time, friction would naturally arise, and animosity between them was normal.

The reason Chu Xi appeared on the Eternal Continent back then was the result of a conflict between the two great Star Regions.

Moreover, it was Luo Feng who personally set the trap at that time.

On one hand, it was to cause internal problems within the Chu Family; after all, Chu Xi was a peerless prodigy of the Chu Family at that time, and her father's beloved treasure.

With the little princess missing, their focus would inevitably shift to finding her, loosening their management of the border between the two families.

On the other hand, it was also to set up his Fortune Clone.

So that Luo Xingchen could have a hidden, strong backer on the Eternal Continent, as Jiang Ling's strength at the time prevented her from taking action on the Eternal Continent.

She could only play a guiding role; Luo Xingchen's true backer was actually Chu Xi.

And Luo Xingchen and Chu Xi were not mother and son at all; it was entirely a reincarnation illusion that Jiang Ling had created for Chu Xi back then.

However, Luo Feng's plan was only half successful.

That is, he successfully diverted the Chu Family's attention, allowing him to plan the internal disintegration of the Chu Family.

As for Luo Xingchen's side, it was completely ruined by Lin Yu's appearance, needless to say.

But, Jiang Ling also said that Luo Xingchen, as a Fortune Clone, had only just been separated and had not yet matured, so he was not important.

What was important was the Chu Family.

When Chu Xi returned to the Chu Family from the Eternal Continent, the Chu Family's internal divisions were already very severe.

Furthermore, her father had previously been misled by Luo Feng and made a Great Dao Oath, vowing that if Luo Feng could bring Chu Xi back, he would marry Chu Xi into the Luo Family for a political alliance.

The result was obvious: the credit for Chu Xi's return naturally fell to Luo Feng.

And the person who conveyed this news to Luo Feng was Jiang Ling.

At that time, she was still working for the Luo Family, and after learning that Chu Xi had left the Eternal Continent, she immediately sent the news back to Luo Feng.

This led to Chu Xi becoming Luo Feng's, the Luo Family patriarch's, fiancée.

The only thing to be grateful for was that Luo Feng's main body had already left the Luo Family for a long time at that point, so the marriage did not happen immediately.

And Chu Xi, having someone in her heart, was naturally unwilling to accept such an arrangement, so she also began to venture out, hoping to change her life's trajectory through her own abilities.

The reason Chu Xi's matter was related to their cooperation was that Chu Xi had entered the Immortal Burial Ground prematurely for some unknown reason.

In other words, at the very moment they were speaking, Chu Xi was already in the Immortal Burial Ground.

The reason Jiang Ling was so detailed was that she wanted to exchange Chu Xi's information for an opportunity to cooperate with Lin Yu, and she had been monitoring Chu Xi's movements for a long time.

Lin Yu quickly sorted through what Jiang Ling had said.

He looked up at Jiang Ling, his eyes slightly narrowed.

To be honest, if he didn't have two tasks related to this woman, he would have gone back on his word and refused to cooperate.

Because this woman's current predicament was entirely her own fault.

She knew her father's death was related to Luo Feng, yet she wholeheartedly helped the Luo Family before she was completely controlled.

Most importantly, during this period, she also helped the Luo Family do many things that harmed him and Chu Xi.

Such a woman, even if she were killed, would not be pitiable in the slightest.

Only when her life and death were completely controlled by others did she realize she needed to resist, and she didn't even mention any intention of avenging her father.

It was only her identity as the female lead that saved her life.

Therefore, even if they continued to cooperate, it would be a purely transactional relationship.

He was only doing it to complete the system tasks.

After all, he was very covetous of the doubled cultivation points and that Immortal Emperor Heart.

Actually, it was very simple for him to achieve Jiang Ling's goal; he didn't need her to go to the Immortal Burial Ground to accomplish it.

His inner world could achieve the same effect as entering the Immortal Burial Ground, and he also had a way to remove the Time-Space Star Tower.

Xiao Ling's true form was not just for show; she could devour the Hun Yuan Cauldron, a top-tier Immortal King Artifact, very early on, so devouring a Time-Space Star Tower of the same grade would not be difficult now, and it wouldn't even take long.

But, he wouldn't do that.

If he helped this woman achieve her goal prematurely, his system tasks would lack the female lead.

And who knew if this woman would turn on him later?

After all, in his recent deduction, this woman didn't seem to be someone who valued emotions.

Calling her two-faced was being kind; to put it less nicely, she was someone who followed whoever benefited her and could bite the hand that fed her at any time.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ling felt a chill run down her spine from Lin Yu's gaze.

Just now, Lin Yu had been teasing and flirting with her, but how did he suddenly become... become someone she wasn't used to?

Those narrowed eyes were like a killer's, exceptionally cold and devoid of any emotion.

"Did I say something wrong?"

She asked herself with a slight unease in her heart.

But after thinking it over, she didn't feel she had said anything wrong.

In her opinion, Lin Yu was a hero, a man destined for great things, and his view of human relationships should also be based on self-interest, believing that there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

She was catering to his preferences, believing she hadn't said or done anything wrong.

They might have been enemies before, but now they shared a common enemy, and cooperating was perfectly normal.
