"A gentle and kind demeanor, radiating an intellectual grace."
"This must be Teacher Tang Yimian, right?"
"I heard from Weiwei that you brought some colleagues and friends along today."
"Though I don't know their names, I assume the young lady beside you is also a teacher."
"..."
"An artist should be serene yet persistent, sensitive yet dedicated."
"The girl who fits the artist's image the most here is this one."
"Ye Mengfu—Xiao Fu, just as Weiwei described, is the girl in the apartment who exudes an artistic aura at first glance."
"..."
"A young woman who enjoys working with computers and makes a living from it is often unconventional and values personal comfort."
"This must be Mo Shangying, little Ying'er, right?"
"..."
Du Ruxue guessed each one correctly, leaving everyone present utterly astonished.
On one hand, they were amazed by Du Ruxue's sharp intuition.
She managed to identify everyone solely based on Xia Yiwei's introductions during the journey.
On the other hand, they were in awe of her extraordinary memory!
So many unfamiliar names and professions, yet she remembered every single detail flawlessly from the trip.
She didn’t deliberately try to showcase her abilities, yet at the very first meeting, she subtly revealed her exceptional skills.
This, in turn, dispelled some of Lin Yu's suspicions.
It seemed Du Ruxue hadn’t resorted to any extreme measures like doxxing for this reunion with old friends.
After identifying all the girls, it was Lin Yu's turn.
Du Ruxue stared at him for a long time, scrutinizing him repeatedly.
Lin Yu couldn’t pretend not to notice her gaze.
Not wanting to embarrass Aunt Qi Meng, he stepped forward and said,
"Aunt Ruxue, it’s impressive how you guessed everyone correctly just by looking at them once."
"Truly eye-opening. You don’t need to guess me—I’m the only guy in the apartment."
"My name is Lin Yu. Thanks to Aunt Qi Meng’s care, I got the chance to attend university."
"I’m the same age as Maomao, and we’ve recently become good friends."
Lin Yu humbly extended his hand, displaying impeccable manners.
Du Ruxue maintained her usual smile and lightly placed her fingers in his palm—a practiced handshake, restrained yet polite.
The moment their hands touched,
a familiar information panel appeared beside Du Ruxue.
Lin Yu wasn’t surprised; in fact, it was exactly what he expected.
As anticipated,
a woman connected to multiple sect members must be a lost member of the sect herself.
Lin Yu casually glanced at Du Ruxue’s information panel.
But the moment he did,
he nearly lost his composure…
[Du Ruxue]
[Age: 35]
[Sect Identity: Joyous Sect’s Holy Maiden]
[Intimacy Level with Host: 1% (First Realm: "Hazy Glimpse")]
[Number of Dao Companions (Soul Cultivation/Body Cultivation): 1/0]
[Dao Companion Identity: Joyous Sect’s Holy Son (Lin Yu)]
[Attribute Skills: (Intimacy level insufficient, currently unavailable)]
[Additional Info: (Intimacy level insufficient, currently unavailable)]
[Current Mission:]
[Enemy of the Bewitching Array (Urgent Mission): Not long ago, the sect’s Holy Maiden underwent trials in the Bewitching Array, only to lose her purity to a fellow sect member within it. Now, she is desperate to uncover the identity of her enemy (Find the online opponent who outsmarted her).]
Lin Yu: "!!!"
Wait a damn minute—
There were too many absurdities here, and Lin Yu didn’t even know where to start!
Holy hell… the sect even has a Holy Maiden?
What kind of qualifications do you need for that?
Is this just a fancy title for a single woman in her thirties?!
Lin Yu had clawed his way up from the bottom as a lowly disciple to earn his current status.
He was just a step away from becoming the acting sect leader—all he needed was to donate a bit more money and merit.
And now, out of nowhere, a Holy Maiden drops in?
Is there no justice?!
No rules?!
Who the hell do I complain to about this?!
The rest of the info in Aunt Ruxue’s panel wasn’t worth fussing over.
It made sense for the intimacy level to be low since they’d never met before.
When he first met Xiao Fufu, it was also at 1%—the "Hazy Glimpse" stage.
Given time and opportunities, with [Virtual Aunt] as his guide,
their relationship would naturally deepen…
That was the normal way to think about intimacy levels, right?
But but but—
A soul cultivation dao companion?!
They’d only crossed paths briefly online, with zero real-life interaction.
How did that make them dao companions?!
This was even more baffling than the situations with Antique Sister and Xiao Jiu!
When he saw the [Urgent Mission] section,
the absurdity of their dao companion relationship finally got a half-baked explanation.
During their online encounter,
Lin Yu had indeed outmaneuvered Du Ruxue, making her suffer losses without her realizing it.
He’d even doxxed her, exposing her private information.
So that’s what "losing her purity" meant?
And the "Bewitching Array"?
Could you be any more dramatic?!
“So dashing, maintaining such masculine charm even surrounded by a group of girls.”
“Lin Yu, you’re still young, but you really carry yourself like the man of the house.”
“Yiwei mentioned you’re multitalented—if this were ancient times, you’d be called a scholar and a warrior, wouldn’t you?”
“With so many beautiful girls around, is there someone you like?”
The entire room: “!!!”
The moment those words were spoken,
several girls in the room subtly showed signs of unease.
Even Maomao, standing beside Du Ruxue, had a slight shift in her expression.
Lin Yu: “!!!”
Holy crap!
This woman is way too dangerous!
How could she ask such a question outright in this setting?
Man of the house… scholar and warrior… beautiful girls… who he likes…
A single conversation with Lin Yu
had far-reaching implications.
Lin Yu couldn’t help but suspect—was Du Ruxue doing this on purpose?
No matter how wildly his heart raced, his expression remained completely unchanged.
He scratched his head and replied with an awkward, boyish smile:
“Aunt Ruxue, don’t tease me. A guy like me is hardly noticeable—who’d even look my way?”
“All the sisters here today are far more outstanding than me.”
After careful consideration, Lin Yu gave a diplomatic answer.
He avoided hinting at any particular girl,
leaving everyone feeling subtly flattered by his words.
Just as he expected,
the moment he finished speaking,
a rapid series of system notifications chimed in his mind!
[Ding!]
[Masterful move! Sincerely praising your companions in front of others, filling their hearts with joy!]
[Reward: 50 spirit stones.]
[Ding!]
[Masterful move…]
[Ding!]
[…]
Just as Lin Yu thought he’d dodged the bullet,
Du Ruxue dropped another bombshell that stunned the room:
“Lin Yu, don’t be so modest.”
“I was just telling Mengmeng earlier—you and Maomao would make a perfect match.”
…

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
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.
