Above the Xianyun Lake,
Under the starry valley, the promise between a boy and a girl unfolded slowly in a phantom image.
“Then we’ll always meet on the moon, you fool!”
When Gu Yun called out with a laugh, the air around Xianyun Lake fell still.
Silence.
A brief silence.
The cultivators who had been discussing the plot found themselves growing speechless as the story progressed.
In just a few minutes of recollection, all the earlier foreshadowing was brought together!
Why was Gu Yun’s wish to go to the Moon Realm?
Because he had promised Lin Xi that if they ever got lost or forgot each other, they would meet on the moon!
Why had Gu Yun forgotten the reason he wanted to go to the Moon Realm?
Because the Forgetfulness Gu had erased his past, including the promise with Lin Xi!
Why had Lin Xi always kept that ugly platypus plush toy, and why had she nearly jumped off the cliff when Gu Yun threw the sandbag away?
Because it was the token of their first meeting!
Why did Lin Xi keep folding blue-and-yellow paper rabbits?
Because these were memories they had created together!
Why did Lin Xi fold paper rabbits over and over? Why did she give up her beautiful long hair and cut it short? Why did she repeatedly ask Gu Yun to describe the paper rabbit?
Because her Ice Heart Bloodline prevented Lin Xi from expressing her inner thoughts, forcing her to clumsily recreate the scene of that night, hoping that Gu Yun might remember the promise of their first meeting!
…
All the lingering doubts from before—each one was foreshadowing.
Like hooks, they lured the cultivators into searching for the truth.
And in the end, every hook turned into a blade.
Piercing into everyone’s heart.
Someone in the crowd sniffled.
Grief spread like an infection among the cultivators.
Everyone’s eyes turned red, and they wiped their tears.
Because everyone knew how cruel the life ahead would be.
“Given Miss Lin’s personality, I’m afraid she’ll come here every year to wait for Gu Yun.”
“What a pity… she’ll never meet him…”
“She has the Ice Heart Bloodline—each time her heart is chilled, it worsens her symptoms, doesn’t it?”
“But even so, when Miss Lin saw Gu Yun again, she still chose to trust him without hesitation…”
“No wonder Gu Yun invited Miss Lin to watch a play, and she hesitated so long… because the last promise had her waiting for ten years.”
“Ten years! How many ten-year spans does a mortal have? And she was still a child—that was practically her whole childhood, wasn’t it?”
“Old Demon Lu indeed lives up to his name—a fiend who toys with hearts! This old man’s eyes are stinging!”
“What do you think, how desperate must Miss Lin’s life have been?”
“She knew everything, yet could say nothing… such torment, such torment!!”
“Elder Guo’s expression doesn’t seem right?”
“If this doesn’t draw a reaction, that’s not ruthlessness—that’s just having no heart at all…”
…
In Guo Yunfeng’s illusion.
As the story unfolded, she felt a faint sense that something was wrong.
She had initially only wanted to satisfy her curiosity, to understand Gu Yun’s past.
After all, there were too many mysteries in Gu Yun’s earlier memories.
But when Lin Xi appeared, an intense feeling rose in her mind—
She had been tricked!
This “love story” in the illusion wasn’t about her and Xu Ci.
It was about Gu Yun and Lin Xi!
Guo Yunfeng realized this and tried to pull away—to ignore it, not to understand, not to listen.
But…
She couldn’t!
The Fear and Love Alignment Array had fully activated; the thirst for knowledge had been carved into her subconscious.
By the time the mystery was about to be solved, she couldn’t escape.
And she sank deeper and deeper…
Her long-frozen emotions burst forth like a flood breaking a dam—
Shock, heartbreak, tears, regret…
Countless tangled emotions surged within her, making her nose sting, causing her to sniffle.
‘No, I can’t cry… I can’t disgrace the Emotionless Sect.’
Guo Yunfeng’s eyes felt sore, but with her warrior's will, she swallowed the feeling down.
‘Close call…’
Guo Yunfeng stared at the pair in front of her—a farewell that was also an eternal goodbye.
The corners of her eyes were faintly red.
Luckily, in the night, no one outside could see clearly.
‘I almost fell for it… almost.’
Guo Yunfeng sighed in relief, still tensing her mind, afraid that even a slight relaxation would make tears spill.
She understood her situation all too well.
She had come just a hair’s breadth away from losing to Lu Ze.
Thankfully, the mystery was solved, and the story should end.
…
…
In the main world of the server.
“What a pity…”
Lu Ze shook his head, feeling a slight regret.
“That old fox still holds out well.”
“Can I act now?”
The remnant of the Heavenly Dao rolled up its sleeves, itching for action.
The challenge of making a slightly capable ant cry without being seen felt fresh to it.
And the deal Lu Ze had offered was sweet enough.
“Not yet—this is just the beginning,” Lu Ze said with a smile.
He had planned this for a long time just to make an Emotionless cultivator weep.
In the first half, the Fear and Love Alignment Array used “curiosity” as an entry point, drawing Guo Yunfeng unsuspectingly into Gu Yun and Lin Xi’s story.
By now, her emotional gate had been opened.
Next, the Fear and Love Alignment Array would guide her emotions toward “sorrow.”
And the story “Going to the Moon Realm” was far from over…
With this combination of moves, even the Grand Elder of the Emotionless Sect would have to shed tears!
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.

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?!
