Chapter 446 So perceptive

Before coming to see Master Lingyun, Yu Zhiyi had already sent out the paper crane.

This time, she had ample time to prepare, so although the paper cranes did not reach Taixu City, they were able to reach dozens of inhabited places and spread their conversation.

Master Lingyun was more perceptive than she had imagined. At least within the Heart-Questioning Stone, Master Lingyun hadn't detected anything amiss. Yet, at this moment, he slightly raised an eyebrow: "Are you stalling for time? Are you waiting for the people from the Heavenly Mystery Sect to come and rescue you?"

He seemed to be pondering: "Isn't the True Woman Hongchan here?"

Yu Zhiyi: "..."

Bad news.

This person was very shrewd and perceptive; he guessed her ulterior motives after she only said one sentence.

The good news is that, due to limited sensitivity, we haven't yet detected her true intentions.

Fearing that further delay would inevitably lead to trouble, Yu Zhiyi decided to act quickly. She said in a deep voice, "My master is inside the sect. She wanted to protect me, but I refused."

"I understand the principle that one should take responsibility for one's actions."

Her blank expression turned cold: "I just don't understand, all I wanted was to save my own life, what did I do wrong?"

"With your sect's capabilities, I don't believe you can't find out the reason why Master Qingfeng was killed."

Her expression was cold and stubborn: "If he hadn't tried to kill me to protect his beloved, and hadn't attempted to interfere in the internal affairs of the secular world and manipulate the power transition of the Great Sheng Empire, why would I have set up a killing trap to protect myself and maintain the stability of the Great Sheng Empire?"

Master Lingyun raised an eyebrow: "So, you admit it?"

Yu Zhiyi was taken aback, then laughed in exasperation: "After saying so much, all you heard me do was admit it?"

"I've heard that Master Lingyun was once a chivalrous and passionate cultivator a hundred years ago. He once stormed the gates of a sect to help an ordinary mortal who was being bullied by a cultivation sect. How come your heart has turned cold now that the Taixu Sect is the one bullying others? You've become an accomplice to evil."

"Oh no, calling you a 'changgui' is inappropriate; you are the tiger that the changgui relies on. You and your sect are now completely rotten!"

"The dragon-slaying youth eventually became the dragon himself."

Master Lingyun's face was ashen.

He stared at Yu Zhiyi for a long time, then suddenly said, "You are sending a message to the outside world."

Yu Zhiyi's heart skipped a beat.

Their expressions were both colder than the other, but Master Lingyun was able to accurately capture the change in Yu Zhiyi's expression: "You are very cunning."

The familiar feeling of suffocation returned, exactly the same as the feeling inside the Heart-Questioning Stone, clearly reminding Yu Zhiyi that she had been locked in by some special force, and that her words could no longer be transmitted.

However, she wasn't worried.

She fought alone inside the Heart-Questioning Stone, but now, she has the Heavenly Mystery Sect behind her.

She was no longer the helpless Yu Zhiyi, nor did she need to fight to the death anymore.

"Even ants try to survive, let alone a cultivator. Cultivators are meant to fight against heaven and earth, and while seeking opportunities, they must also strive for the first chance."

"I have heard that you were on good terms with the seniors of my Tianji Sect a hundred years ago. You should understand that the people of my Tianji Sect are willing to risk their lives to enter the Dao and would never intentionally do anything to harm others."

"I have a clear conscience regarding the matter of Master Qingfeng."

"If the Taixu Sect really intends to kill me for this, I have nothing to say. The Taixu Sect is a large and powerful family, and I am naturally powerless to resist. But even if I am to die, I will not submit to slaughter. You can guess how many tricks I have up my sleeve to expose your true colors."

Master Lingyun stared at him coldly for a long time before saying something strange: "It really wasn't her."

Before Yu Zhiyi could react to the meaning of those words, his figure disappeared from the spot.

Yu Zhiyi: "?"

He said nothing, neither about his attitude towards her nor towards the Jiang family.

It wasn't until long after he left that Yu Zhiyi's tense mood finally calmed down.

She touched her heart, which had regained its steady beat, and took out the Five Emperors Coins.

The great misfortune has passed.

The Jiang family will no longer suffer retaliation from the Taixu Sect.

As for the Gao family...

My master said that the Gao family is nothing to fear.

And the calculation results do indeed confirm this.

As long as the Taixu Sect doesn't try to take over, the Gao family won't be a problem for them.

Yu Zhiyi originally planned to leave after resolving the crisis, but her master only had a few months left to live, so she decided to stay a few more months.

Whether it's raising money to participate in the auction for the Longevity Pill or thinking of other ways, she must find a way to extend her master's lifespan.

Those who enter the path of Tao through their lives believe in fate, but do not accept it.

If one accepts fate in everything, then the ability to glimpse destiny loses its meaning.

"Yi'er, there's no need to trouble yourself." Knowing that Yu Zhiyi was preparing to go to Shoushi City, Hongchan Zhenren said calmly.

She didn't care about life or death, but there was still one regret.

"If I fail to find your senior sister's reincarnation before I die, then please help me find her."

Logically speaking, cultivators should take life and death lightly and should not have any attachments.

What makes us human is that we have hearts, love, and feelings.

Tianyin's death has always been a wound in her heart, a pain that she feels unbearably agonizing whenever she thinks about it.

She had secretly vowed in her heart that she would protect her and help her become a god in this lifetime.

No one expected that Fairy Tianyin would die in the siege that didn't even appear on the Destiny Chart.

This is an inner demon, and the fundamental reason why Master Hongchan has been unable to break through it.

Yu Zhiyi pursed her lips: "I will search for the reincarnation of my master's ancestor, but I will not give up the opportunity to extend your lifespan."

"If possible, I hope that Master will personally find Senior Sister's reincarnation and take care of her personally, after all, that is a bond that belongs to you. As for me, I have my own bonds, and I don't want to bear a fate that doesn't belong to me."

Hongchan Zhenren was taken aback, then said, "I'm sorry, I was confused."

Yu Zhiyi left Hongchan Zhenren's room with a blank expression.

Fifth Senior Brother Chu Qianhan walked over: "Junior Sister, don't blame Master. The death of Sixth Junior Sister was a huge blow to Master. She has been unable to get over it all these years."

Yu Zhiyi shook her head: "How could I blame Master? I just think that perhaps this is the reason why Master's cultivation is blocked. I hope she can think more positively, so that she can have a chance to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm and solve the problem at its root."

A master at the Nascent Soul Realm can extend their lifespan to one thousand years, adding five hundred years to their lifespan.

Most importantly, only by breaking through to the Divine Transformation Realm can one have the opportunity to ascend to heaven and live as long as the heavens and earth.

If she hadn't come to the Hidden Realm, and all her relatives and friends were mortals with lifespans of no more than a hundred years, she certainly wouldn't have forcibly extended the lifespans of those around her.

Because the absence of others with immortality sometimes means suffering.

But the master is different.

My master was originally a cultivator, and I've heard that my former master was also a remarkably talented genius in the hidden realm.

However, he lost his fighting spirit because of his senior sister's death.

No matter how insightful and open-minded a person may be, they cannot truly remain indifferent to the life or death of their closest relatives.

Yu Zhiyi admitted that she was ultimately just an ordinary person.
