In her past life, her genius elder sister drained her heart's blood to treat a supposed heart ailment. Her most trusted relatives did not plead for her or mourn her death; they even sold her co...
Liu Yunqing instinctively wanted to refuse the big secret that Liu Yunzhao was talking about.
When Liu Yunqing looked up and met Liu Yunzhao's somewhat meaningful expression, she swallowed the refusal that was on the tip of her tongue and nodded instead:
"Whether or not to consider it depends on whether the secret is worthwhile, and even more so on how to cooperate and what benefits this cooperation would bring to me."
"Please consider these questions carefully, Fairy Yun Zhao. Give me a frank answer next time, and I will consider them again. Please wait."
After saying that, Liu Yunqing got up and left the teahouse without lingering.
Liu Yunqing had a premonition that the secret Liu Yunzhao was about to reveal was indeed something she wanted to know, or rather, something she wanted to confirm.
Just as Liu Yunzhao could guess that he would be interested in the secrets she knew.
Unfortunately, the two were not on the same path, and trust, which was already scarce in the cultivation world, was even more impossible between them.
The contest between the two is essentially a test of who is more anxious.
Clearly, Liu Yunqing is the undisputed winner.
Because Liu Yunqing can wait, but the remnant soul within Liu Yunzhao's body cannot.
However, on the third day, Liu Yunzhao found Liu Yunqing again.
This time, the annoyance and anxiety in Liu Yunzhao's eyes were so obvious that they could no longer be concealed.
"I lost."
Liu Yunqing glanced at Liu Yunzhao and asked:
"It can't be suppressed anymore?"
"I'm a little curious. That remnant soul shouldn't be an ordinary remnant soul. It shouldn't have possessed someone for no reason."
Liu Yunzhao reached up and pressed his temples, smiling wryly:
"Unless I become that remnant soul, a puppet to be manipulated at will, or a more suitable candidate is found."
"The current situation is that the remnant soul cannot find a more suitable candidate, and I am unwilling to become a puppet. I always anger it by not doing things according to its requirements, so it wants to possess me."
Liu Yunqing had some guesses about the remnant soul in Liu Yunzhao's body, but there were many things she didn't really know, so she was very puzzled when she heard this.
"Based on what I know, the story of the Daughter of Heaven's Fortune should come from that remnant soul."
"Moreover, the patriarch of the Myriad Wonders Sect and your master should all know about this matter."
"So, what is it that makes you unwilling to act according to that remnant soul's demands?"
Speaking of this matter, Liu Yunqing wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Liu Yunzhao trembled slightly, and at the same time, the expression on his face was one that Liu Yunqing had never seen before, so real and solemn.
Unfortunately, just as Liu Yunzhao was about to say something, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't utter a single word.
At the same time, Liu Yunqing keenly sensed that another aura was beginning to awaken within him.
Liu Yunzhao quickly gave Liu Yunqing a wink, then ignored Liu Yunqing and used all his strength to fight against the remnant soul.
Liu Yunqing's eyes held an inscrutable expression. As her aura vanished from the room, she was actually thinking that this might be a good opportunity to kill Liu Yunzhao.
The thought only crossed Liu Yunqing's mind for a moment before she suppressed it.
She wanted Liu Yunzhao dead, but she didn't want the trouble to get even bigger after Liu Yunzhao's death.
A remnant soul that could make the powerful ancestors of the Sun Realm bow down and be trusted by so many powerful beings is probably not a remnant soul at all, but comes from a place that even the powerful ancestors cannot reach.
Liu Yunqing naturally didn't want such trouble unless she wanted to die.
That's probably why Liu Yunzhao didn't even dare to tell Cheng Yunyun and the powerful figures in the sect, but instead chose to cooperate with him, the unsuspecting sucker.
It's a pity that after being chosen as the daughters of destiny for so many years, why were they so naive to think that they, as two small fry, could fight against the people of the upper realm?
Although it sounds like Liu Yunqing absolutely had to do this, she had no idea before that the ultimate goal came from the upper realm.
After figuring out the reason, Liu Yunqing sighed inwardly, unsure whether "ignorance is bliss" or "know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle" could comfort him more.
Inside the room, Liu Yunzhao noticed that Liu Yunqing's presence had completely disappeared, and knowing that she had understood his meaning, he finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
With a sigh of relief, the remnant soul finally found its opportunity and roared at Liu Yunzhao:
"Hmph! You're getting more and more defiant towards me!"
"Trying to expel me? I advise you not to waste your time. No one in the entire Sun Realm combined has that ability."
"The only thing you can do is offer up your body or obediently listen to me."
After saying this, the remnant soul, seeing that Liu Yunzhao did not respond, began to survey its surroundings.
"You've made an appointment? Are you planning to find help?"
The remnant soul spoke with a contemptuous yet confident tone, even tinged with a hint of nonchalance:
"You do have some courage, but it's a pity that you can't even bring yourself to say the words 'I am the one'?"
Liu Yunzhao's face remained calm, but his lowered eyes held only disgust and hatred. His voice, however, was steady as he spoke:
"Senior, you are overthinking it. I am just passing through on my journey. I heard that the Red Moon City has a magical spectacle on the day of the Red Moon, so I came to experience it for myself."
The remnant soul clearly didn't believe it, but because it disdained Liu Yunzhao's methods and felt that a Golden Core cultivator couldn't cause any trouble, it didn't bother to argue with her and directly commanded:
"If you don't want me to torment you, obediently relinquish control of your body. I have to go see someone, and I'll return it to you afterward."
When Liu Yunzhao saw that the other party had woken up and was indeed asking for control of his body, he was about to refuse.
The next moment, I felt an itch in my palm, followed by a mark running across it.
It must have been to prevent the remnant soul from noticing that the gestures were made very quickly. Liu Yunzhao thought for a moment before he could piece together the word.
"allow."
Seeing that Liu Yunzhao did not respond for a long time, the remnant soul was about to scold him when Liu Yunzhao suddenly replied:
"Okay, but I hope you can keep your promise and return my body to me after you've seen the person."
"Otherwise, even if it destroys this physical body, I will not let you succeed again."
The remnant soul thought for a moment. It had consumed a lot of power in its previous appearances. If it really had a falling out with Liu Yunzhao now, it might not be able to possess her body. In fact, it might even make her soul weaker.
So, the remnant soul didn't hesitate much, and although it was impatient, it still agreed.
After receiving approval, Liu Yunzhao simply relinquished control of her body, but her own soul firmly occupied her sea of consciousness, not giving the remnant soul any chance to take advantage.
The remnant soul scoffed at her behavior, thinking how naive mortals were.
With her true strength, possessing the body of someone in the lower realm would be effortless, even for a powerful being undergoing tribulation. A mere Golden Core cultivator's efforts would be no match for even a flick of her finger.
Unfortunately, the remnant soul itself said that it wanted her true power.
Now, she is nothing more than a remnant soul, unable to even detect the tracking of a Golden Core cultivator.
Of course, this is not her fault, because the powerful ancestor also failed to discover it.
Seeing Liu Yunzhao gracefully walk in, Qi Yunguang's expression turned quite unpleasant. He casually cupped his hands and said:
"Is this time for real, or is it just another bluff by that little golden core cultivator?"
