12: The system reappears, and Jiang Zhiyi is angry

“What was that sound?”

Jiang Zhiyi became alert, looking around.

“Ding, this System is derived from the Heavenly Dao, an Opportunity of Heavenly Mandate, exclusively for the Host. Only the Host can hear its voice!”

“Ding, the Affection Rank interface has been unlocked. Increase the Affection Rank of your Heavenly Mandate Dao Companion to receive corresponding rewards! (Rewards are granted when Affection Rank reaches 10, 100, 500, 1000..., the higher the Affection Rank, the better the reward.)”

“Heavenly Dao Opportunity? What nonsense is this?”

“Jiang Lin is the younger brother I raised. How could he be my Heavenly Mandate Dao Companion?”

Jiang Zhiyi’s heart inexplicably panicked, feeling a bit uneasy.

“Ding, this Opportunity fully adheres to the Host’s voluntary principle. Apart from the confidentiality clause (this System must not be revealed to the outside world, or the Host will immediately Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering), there are no negative penalties. You can choose to abandon this Opportunity at any time, and any rewards obtained previously will not disappear!”

“All the above clauses are bound by the Heavenly Dao, please rest assured, Host!”

“Tip: Reach 1000 Affection Rank to obtain the Great Accomplishment Pill Formula!”

“Current Affection Rank: To Be Tested (Test can be performed!)”

“Completely voluntary? Can be abandoned at any time? The reward is actually the lost Great Accomplishment Pill Formula!?”

“I’ve been researching the incomplete Pill Formula for three years with no progress.”

“If I obtain this Pill Formula, I can leave the imperial palace!”

Jiang Zhiyi was tempted, but when she thought that her Heavenly Mandate Dao Companion was Jiang Lin, she felt both shy and annoyed.

“Does Lin’er know about this System?”

“Ding, the other party is completely unaware. This System is exclusively for the Host!”

“Then will it have any impact on Lin’er?”

“There will be no impact whatsoever. As long as the Host collects the other party’s Affection Rank, rewards can be unlocked.”

“Phew, that’s good!”

“I’ll just treat this as an ordinary Opportunity.”

“Just ignore that ‘Dao Companion’ label!”

“After obtaining the Great Accomplishment Pill Formula, I’ll just cancel the System, and everything will be fine.”

“I’ll just consider it making up for not caring about Lin’er for a long time during this period!”

“Lin’er was quite angry about me entering the imperial palace, so he probably has a lot of opinions about me.”

“It won’t be easy to accumulate 1000 Affection Rank now.”

“Ding, detecting that the Host and Heavenly Mandate Dao Companion ‘Jiang Lin’ have a relatively high initial Affection Rank. After unlocking the Evaluation Rank assessment interface, you will receive one Divine-Grade lottery chance.”

“Evaluation Rank: Complete the assessment questions to obtain a corresponding evaluation Rank. The higher the evaluation, the more generous the additional rewards when receiving Affection Rank rewards!”

“No need to think, proceed with the assessment!”

“Assessment begins!”

“Please answer, do you truly understand Jiang Lin...?”

“Lin’er was raised by me. How could I not understand him?”

Jiang Zhiyi dismissed the question with disdain.

“Question One: Who does Jiang Lin care about the most?”

“A. Himself”

“B. Zhang Wanmeng”

“C. Jiang Zhiyi (Host)”

“D. The common people”

“I taught Lin’er from a young age that if one is not for oneself, heaven and earth will destroy them!”

“A man of great ambition must be self-centered to achieve great deeds!”

“I choose A. Lin’er still listens to me a lot...”

Jiang Zhiyi answered confidently.

“Ding, incorrect answer. Please listen to the next question!”

“Slam!”

Jiang Zhiyi slammed her hand on the table in anger.

“Lin’er, stand up for me!”

Jiang Lin instantly woke from his infatuation with the long legs.

“What happened? She was praising me just now, why the sudden change of face? This woman is just dangerous!”

A sense of oppression from his Soul made Jiang Lin stand up obediently, like a child who had done something wrong.

“What have I always told you?”

Jiang Lin was even more confused; he had no idea what was going on.

“What’s wrong? Why are you so angry...”

Jiang Zhiyi had a look of disappointment: “How many times have I told you, a man of great ambition must not be obsessed with romantic love! A single Zhang Wanmeng has you completely bewildered, it’s truly shameful!”

“Isn’t it just a woman? After some time, I’ll put pressure on that old man from the Zhang family and make that girl obediently come to our door. Just play around with her, that’s all!”

“Your focus should be on cultivating the Great Dao, understand?”

Jiang Lin was stunned for a second, then reacted.

“Is she talking about how I’ve been fawning over Zhang Wanmeng recently?”

“Did the original body’s actions displease this great immortal?”

“But listen, what kind of outrageous things are you saying?”

“Just play around with her?”

“No wonder she raised someone like Jiang Lin.”

“By the way, you’re also a woman!”

“Thinking about this person with vast connections, if she really pressured the Zhang family, perhaps the Zhang family wouldn’t be able to resist and would send Zhang Wanmeng to the door.”

“Wouldn’t that be just like the plot?”

“Then Xiao Dong would step out, be a hero saving the beauty, win the beauty’s heart, and incidentally suppress Jiang Zhiyi’s status.”

“I’m not doing that kind of experience-giving work!”

“Next, I’ll just lay low and develop, conquer a few female leads, and then wait until I have enough trump cards!”

“I understand. I’m no longer interested in Zhang Wanmeng. I won’t actively seek her out anymore. You can rest assured, I will focus my mind on cultivation!”

Hearing Jiang Lin soften, Jiang Zhiyi didn’t continue to flare up.

But that didn’t mean she believed Jiang Lin.

She still understood the kind of person she had raised.

And men are all two-faced creatures.

They always covet what they can’t have.

She just needed to find a way to make him tired of playing.

In fact, she had already arranged this yesterday.

Didn’t the Qin Sect leader fail to break through his Bottleneck and suffer severe Divine Soul injuries?

She took out two life-extending pills in exchange for Zhang Wanmeng accompanying him for a period. That old fellow didn’t agree, but Zhang Wanmeng herself agreed directly...

“Question Two: What does Jiang Lin love to do most on a daily basis?”

“A. Eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, bullying men and women”

“B. Traveling, enjoying scenery, listening to music, drinking tea”

“C. Cultivating diligently, improving Rank”

“D. Helping others, saving all beings”

“A man of great ambition’s goal must be to cultivate diligently and pursue the Great Dao!”

“Although Lin’er is naturally playful, I believe he still knows what’s important.”

“I choose C!”

“Ding, incorrect answer. Please listen to the next question!”

“Slam!”

Another angry slap on the table.

“You useless thing, who told you to sit down!”

Seeing Jiang Zhiyi’s expression soften, Jiang Lin had just sat down when he was startled by this sudden rebuke.

“What is this woman doing?!”

He couldn’t help but mutter, “What else is there?”

“I ask you, what is the most important thing a man of great ambition should do?”

Looking at the furious Jiang Zhiyi, Jiang Lin recalled Jiang Zhiyi’s educational philosophy from his memories.

“Do not let worldly desires blind your eyes, cultivate the Great Dao through thousands of years of arduous practice!”

Jiang Zhiyi nodded, her anger half-extinguished.

“You remember that very clearly. I hope next time you’ll remember it in your heart!”

“If I ever find out you’re neglecting your duties for trivial pleasures again, I won’t spare you!”

Jiang Lin felt confused: “I’ve been very diligent lately, I’m already at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul...”

Feeling the Nascent Soul Late Stage Qi from Jiang Lin, Jiang Zhiyi’s anger completely vanished.

“Consider yourself diligent lately, but you must not let your mind wander!”

“After becoming a Dao Child of Dao Heaven Sect, honestly cultivate your Dao Heart in the Dao Realm, then come out!”

“Also, suppress your cultivation. Do not enter the Nascent Soul Perfection stage unless you achieve a High Grade Nascent Soul, understand?”

“Combining with your Bloodline, I have prepared the seventeenth-ranked Poison Heart Demonic Nascent Soul for you, which will definitely yield twice the results with half the effort!”

Looking at the extremely serious Jiang Zhiyi, Jiang Lin nodded, not daring to refute.
