There were still a few closing events left at the Starry Sky Tournament.
Taking advantage of this time, Chen Yi invited Wu Yue to meet in a private room at an inn on the Wonder Magic Planet.
Wu Yue arrived right on time.
She had changed into a more magnificent outfit, and her temperament was even more ethereal, making her look like a banished immortal.
After the two sat down, Chen Yi kept staring at Wu Yue's face, comparing it feature by feature with the memory of his second sister.
She looked just like her.
There was no mistaking it. This was exactly what his second sister would look like when she grew up!
"Brother Yi, you've been staring at me for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Did you invite me out just to have a staring contest?"
Chen Yi coughed to cover his embarrassment.
"Well... actually, I have something to ask you. What is your real name?"
Just in case, Chen Yi still didn't directly reveal his own identity.
He needed to confirm Wu Yue's identity first.
"Wu Yue."
"No former names?"
"Of course not. I grew up in the Carefree Sacred Ground since I was a child. My master gave me this name, so why would I have a former name?"
"This..."
Could it be that his second sister also didn't want to expose her true identity?
Chen Yi thought for a moment.
"Miss Wu, I want to tell you a story."
"A story?"
Wu Yue's expression seemed to say: Can you just get straight to the point?
"I have a friend who has an older brother. Once, the two brothers went up the mountain together to gather firewood.
When they reached a pool of water, the older brother told the younger brother to watch the firewood while he went to relieve himself.
The younger brother waited there for a long time but didn't see his big brother return. Instead, a snake came and bit two bloody holes in his butt.
Only later did he find out that the older brother had actually gone to the pool to peek at a girl taking a bath...
Haha! Don't you think that's funny?"
Wu Yue remained expressionless.
"Not funny."
"I have another story, still about that older brother..."
Chen Yi spilled all of his eldest brother's embarrassing moments in Luoding Village.
Some things seemed to be known only to the two brothers, but in reality, Chen Yi had long shared them with his two sisters. Only his eldest brother was kept in the dark.
Wu Yue kept a cold face the entire time.
She even looked a bit impatient listening to him.
Chen Yi was confused.
After hearing so many things that only the Chen family children would know, Wu Yue was still completely indifferent?
Was she not his second sister, but simply looked like her? Just like him and Yi Qianjun?
Or was she his second sister, but had lost her memory? Or perhaps she couldn't acknowledge her relatives for some other reason?
"Brother Yi, how many more stories do you have? I think I should go back to cultivate."
This meeting ended on a somewhat sour note.
Wu Yue didn't hear what she wanted to hear.
Chen Yi also didn't get the result he wanted.
After Wu Yue left, Chen Yi sat in his original seat, drinking tea in a daze.
"Did I really make a mistake..."
Acting in reality was quite inconvenient.
It would be better to investigate thoroughly by going to the Carefree Sacred Ground in a future simulation.
Actually, he was supposed to go to the Sacred Ground in his next simulation anyway.
Neither the Five Regions nor the Shen family had a stable method to break through to the Martial King realm; only the Sacred Ground did.
Chen Yi didn't want to take the risk of failing the breakthrough and having his cultivation realm drop, so he definitely had to go to the Sacred Ground.
On the Wonder Magic Planet, the Starry Sky Tournament came to an end.
At the closing ceremony, Shen Yue, the patriarch of the Shen family, stepped forward and stated.
"In this Starry Sky Tournament, we have seen far too many geniuses and outstanding figures. Our human race is producing talents in great numbers. This is truly an era of great contention!
Therefore, my Shen family has decided that regardless of whether you obtained a quota in the various competitions or not,
all parties who came to participate in the Starry Sky Tournament this time will receive one quota to enter the Star Source!"
The various factions cheered thunderously.
The Shen family's prestige rose once again.
Shen Yue was extremely satisfied with this.
After the tournament ended, each family began distributing their quotas.
As someone who had earned a quota, if Chen Yi wanted one for himself, according to the prior agreement the Sword Sect had made with its disciples, he absolutely had to be given one.
Although an elder tried to persuade Chen Yi that he hadn't yet reached a cultivation bottleneck and that it would be better to give the opportunity to a senior brother who needed it more, with the sect offering a massive amount of resources as compensation.
But Chen Yi still insisted.
In the end, it was the Sword Master who stepped forward and made the final decision.
"The quota Qianjun earned should naturally be given to him if he wants to go. The elders need not say any more."
The disciples from various factions who received quotas headed to the Star Source Planet under the escort of their elders.
The Sword Master personally escorted the two disciples from his sect.
On the way, he suddenly approached Chen Yi and spoke out of the blue.
"Where is that worthless disciple of mine right now?"
Chen Yi instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
Turning his head to look, the Sword Master still wore a smile, looking at him amiably.
Chen Yi knew that the Sword Master had seen through him.
Confess honestly for lenient treatment.
"He is on the Barren Grass Planet. He is perfectly fine."
The Sword Master did not stop flying, and the two continued heading towards the Star Source Planet.
"That Martial King who trespassed into the star domain a while ago must have been you, right? Should I hand you over to the Shen family to be dealt with?"
Chen Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead, his brain working so hard it was practically smoking.
"Sword Master, I was once your disciple too. You are my most respected senior.
It's just that, in this time and space, I cannot explain everything clearly to you.
I trust your character and foresight, and I ask you to believe that what I am doing is for the sake of more people, for the sake of this world.
I absolutely have no malicious intent!"
The Sword Master stared at Chen Yi, his gaze as sharp as a sword, as if trying to see right through Chen Yi's eyes and into his heart.
"The sword path you used in the competition was inherited from me, but you have already reached the ninth level. That child Qianjun has only learned up to the third level, and he has never seen the sword path insights from the sixth level onwards, so it's impossible for him to have learned them."
Speaking up to this point, the Sword Master paused for a moment.
"Therefore, you have read my personal notes. But I am certain that without my permission, it is impossible for anyone to see the contents of the ninth level in my notes."
"You can understand it as me coming back from the future. In order to prevent a terrifying disaster, there are some things I must do."
The Sword Master's eyes revealed a lack of trust.
What time travel? You aren't an immortal who has mastered the Great Dao. This is too absurd.
"I find it very hard to believe you."
"'Sword Master Skincare Notes', Chapter Three, Skin Maintenance: Take three tender gardenia buds daily, boil them with golden lotus water, and apply them to the left and right cheeks..."
"I believe you."
The Sword Master was certain that it was impossible for a second person to have seen his exclusive secret beauty recipe.
Nor would anyone be bored enough to steal his secret beauty recipe. The key point was that no one even knew the Sword Master had written such a thing. He always kept it close to his person and recorded in it at any time.
Although the Sword Master believed him a little, he still adopted a relatively conservative response.
"I can choose not to hinder your actions, nor will I reveal your secret to others. But if I find out that you are plotting against the Sword Sect or the human race, I will kill you without mercy!"
Chen Yi hadn't extravagantly hoped to get the Sword Master's help either.
Given the Sword Master's cautious style of doing things, it was impossible for him to help someone "who came back from the future" to prevent a worldly disaster in advance or anything like that.
That was a trope only hot-blooded youths would believe.
Besides, the truth was indeed like that. Chen Yi hadn't been to the future; he had only peeked into future timelines through the simulation.
The future was not set in stone; it could be changed through present efforts.
The Sword Master escorted Chen Yi to the Star Source Planet and vouched for his identity, allowing Chen Yi to safely enter the Star Source Planet.
The Sword Master stood with his hands behind his back, watching the skies above the Star Source Planet for a while longer.
"Sword Master, are you worried about your disciple? But on this Star Source Planet, divine sense is rendered useless and a thick fog blankets everything. You wouldn't be able to see them from here anyway, right?"
A friend of the Sword Master had come over to chat.
The Sword Master replied nonchalantly.
"You have a point. I might as well go attend the evening banquet arranged by Patriarch Shen."
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
