Although the girl's face was covered by a piece of white veil at the moment, Yan Baibai could still tell at a glance that she was the only junior sister in the Tiandao Sect's team who had had a big quarrel with the Yaodan Sect in front of the Bingxin Yupo Fruit that day.
Yan Baibai shifted her gaze from the water curtain and looked around. Sure enough, she spotted the Tiandao Sect group. They were at the front of the crowd, while the junior sister had fallen to the ground, her upper body held by Wu Jianyi, seemingly unconscious.
The Tiandao Sect team's attention was all focused on the scene of the water curtain. They looked tense and dared not breathe too loudly. The one who behaved the strangest was Wu Jianyi. He was holding the hands of his junior sister in his arms tightly with both hands, his eyes were red and bloodshot.
"What's wrong with him?" Yan Baibai felt strange and asked the system in his mind.
"The system detects that Wu Jianyi's affection for the little junior sister in his arms is 100%." The system looked at the data detected on the screen and said to Yan Baibai without any defense: "In your human terms, Wu Jianyi is in love with his little junior sister."
"System, do you also have the function of detecting people's emotional values?" Yan Baibai quickly grasped the key point.
"..." The system wanted to slap itself, and immediately made amends: "Sometimes... under special circumstances... it is possible."
"Why are you so nervous? Are you hiding something from me? Tell me!" Yan Baibai narrowed his eyes and his tone became stern.
Seeing the system fall silent, Yan Baibai thought for a moment and quickly figured something out. He then asked, "Besides the Darkening Value... you can also measure the quest protagonist's emotional value towards me, right?"
"...Yes, host." Seeing that it could no longer be concealed, the system could only answer the teacher.
"Why did you hide this from me?" Yan Baibai was a little puzzled.
"Because, many of the hosts I have led in the past were overly dependent on the emotional value of the male protagonist of the mission. Some hosts even took advantage of this favor and became arrogant and did not complete the mission properly... Host, I am very afraid that you will become the same as them..." The system's tone was full of loss and pleading.
"I understand. Don't worry, System. I won't follow in the footsteps of my predecessors."
Yan Baibai comforted the system, but now that she knew about this, her future path would be much easier.
Yan Baibai focused his attention on the water curtain in front of him.
At this moment, the Shenxiu clan on the water curtain had stopped their chanting, and the entire altar fell into silence.
"Saint Nian Yue, please allow me to offer the sacrifice on your behalf." The man in the center of the altar suddenly knelt on one knee, crossed his hands on his chest, and humbly pleaded with the saint.
"Back then, the Saint Nian Yue did not let this man replace herself." The ancient wise tree explained softly to everyone present.
"Waiter Chaoxi, this is my mission, you... please leave quickly." The saint looked at the waiter kneeling in front of her with her clear eyes. A flash of deep love passed through her eyes. With a wave of her sleeves, the waiter named Chaoxi was gently blown off the altar by a soft breeze.
"Senior, is the 'man' you are talking about the waiter named Chaoxi?" Yan Baibai asked softly. She believed that the Ancient Wisdom Tree could hear her.
"It seems he is indeed the man who loves the Saint." The Ancient Wisdom Tree also quietly explained to Yan Baibai: "No one has ever thought that after the Saint's sacrifice, he would go crazy and destroy the entire Shenxiu clan."
"Senior, does the Saint of Nian Yue...love that servant who serves her day and night?" Yan Baibai asked again.
"This... this happened ten thousand years ago. I... don't know." The ancient giant tree continued, "But every female cultivator who enters the Dream Realm will be more or less influenced by the years and their personalities. They will also fall in love with Bai Chaoxi under my suggestion."
"Senior, is this considered cheating?" Yan Baibai asked with some confusion.
"It's not entirely true to say it's a deception. Every girl I sent to the Dreamland truly loves Bai Chaoxi!" The Ancient Wisdom Tree sighed, then paused and continued, "But it seems like all of you girls have cultivated the Way of Indifference. Under my strong hints, they also became cold and indifferent to Bai Chaoxi. It's really strange!"
Yan Baibai also saw the problem at this time. Although all the female cultivators who were sent to the Dream Realm fell in love with Bai Chaoxi under the suggestion of the Ancient Wisdom Tree, none of them expressed their love.
Would Bai Chaoxi's resentment disappear if he could only make him feel loved? The words of the Ancient Wisdom Tree gave Yan Baibai an idea.
On the water curtain, the most critical moment had arrived. This time, the young apprentice sister of the Tiandao Sect was different from the four female cultivators before her. She made the same choice as the Saintess of Nian Yue—they pushed their lovers away and happily accepted death.
