NOVEL WEB Chapter 506: Who Is Qing Yan?
"Can you catch up?" Blue Demon grabbed him.
Lin Xiaosu glanced at her: "Are you forcing me to say my motto? You can doubt my character, but not my track!"
Blue Demon took a deep breath: "So now it's tracking time, right?"
"Yes!" Lin Xiaosu said, "I'll drive!"
Blue Demon flipped over, seamlessly sitting beside Lin Xiaosu.
Lin Xiaosu moved from the passenger seat directly to the driver's seat.
"Driving won't affect conversation, right?" Blue Demon said.
"Of course it won't, say whatever you want." Lin Xiaosu's car started, speeding onto the road ahead.
"After discovering his origin, Gu She actually came to find his sister. You used a term not suitable between siblings — 'obsessively' looking — to imply something, he still has a familial concept, right?"
"Yes!"
"Does it indirectly show there's hope for him?"
"It's premature to conclude, but at least there's a slight chance." Lin Xiaosu's car turned, driving onto the highway.
"I understand, now it's about winning Gu She's cooperation!" Blue Demon said: "What kind of plan did you design to move him?"
"Find him, give him something, and say a few words."
"That simple?"
"Things are inherently simple!" Lin Xiaosu showed a slight smile.
Blue Demon looked at him, eyes full of doubt.
In Blue Demon's dictionary, and indeed in almost all of Qianlong's dictionary, persuading a traitor is a profound study, you need to accurately grasp the psychological vulnerabilities of the traitor, you need to use all kinds of methods to conduct a defection.
How can yours be this simple?
However, in Lin Xiaosu's dictionary, the matter itself is indeed simple.
His magical tracking technique made incredibly complex matters simple.
As soon as Gu She appeared, he could trace Gu She's action chain in reverse, where he came from, he would know soon.
The mysterious Lord, no matter where he hides on earth, once he starts being with Gu She, will be exposed.
Blue Demon believed that Gu She's cooperation with them was the most crucial element of a successful action.
But, this has been overturned.
If Gu She is willing to cooperate, it will only form Gu She's personal redemption, not change the outcome.
Blue Demon couldn't understand, she couldn't have imagined that Lin Xiaosu's miraculous detective skill had already gone beyond the magical boundary and entered realms unknown even to the contemporary people or even the high-level mentors on the Cultivation Path.
His Reverse Time, strictly speaking, isn't called a technique, it's a law, it's the Time Law!
What is the Time Law?
On the Cultivation Path, the pinnacle is the Heavenly Dao Seven Techniques, among the Heavenly Dao Seven Techniques, time is the sovereign, space is the king!
Blue Demon took a deep breath: "I remember what you said half a month ago... if Gu She doesn't show up, you actually have another way."
"Yes!"
"That method is your real reason for confidence." Blue Demon said: "Can you tell me, where does your confidence come from?"
Lin Xiaosu laughed: "Qing Yan!"
"Qing Yan? You... you know who Qing Yan is?"
Lin Xiaosu said: "I have to say, there's an old saying that's very true, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. During a long journey, I once met a Tibetan girl, her name was Dawa, we teamed up to enter Miyan Road..."
This encounter, strictly speaking, wasn't that long ago.
From the perspective of time, it was merely two years.
However, the true sentiment of things changing doesn't only take time as a dimension, it also considers many upheavals.
At that time, he didn't yet know the Cultivation Road.
In terms of cultivation, he was equivalent to a "Broken Seer."
He didn't know the Underworld.
He only knew the place name of Kun Cang, the mysterious veil hadn't been lifted at all.
He tried to explore Kun Cang, went into Miyan Road, and along the way encountered a group of people, one of whom was Dawa.
Dawa, in Tibetan means "moon."
She fully embodied the meaning of this name.
Kind, pure beyond comparison.
Lin Xiaose weaved a love story for her, such an idealistic, heavily sugar-coated love story, so common it would fall flat outside, unconvincing even for middle schoolers, yet she fully believed it, embraced a strong romantic mindset, helped him into Miyan Road, helped him find the poison antidote "jietai fruit"...
However, on Miyan Road, she exhibited a power that made Lin Xiaosu's heart pound.
This power seemed to be able to drain the vitality from any creature that neared her in an instant.
For example, the evil wolves on Miyan Road.
Others killed wolves by either chopping off the head or throwing them off a cliff to die, but she would directly extract the vitality. Wolves touched by her tender palms felt like wolves that had been dead for months.
Lin Xiaosu himself didn't feel this horror because Dawa appeared to him like a kind neighbor's little sister.
Not only innocent, but also very moving.
For example, she entered Kun Cang, specifically to find him the precious antidote "Holy Branch Dew," such a rare detoxifying holy medicine she sought especially for him, waiting on campus just to give it to him.
Because she wished to see Lin Xiaosu and "little Ye," to see their sky.
This story, recounted for the second time.
When mentioned for the first time, they faced Chang Ye.
The second time it was mentioned, it was the Blue Demon.
The results of mentioning it twice were naturally completely different.
The first time, Chang Ye was a bit moved, not knowing what to say.
But when it was mentioned to the Blue Demon this time, the Blue Demon's expression changed: "Such an innocent and kind-hearted young girl, could she really be the deepest hidden Nirvana of the Nine Headed Snake? Are you sure?"
"Pretty sure!"
"Just because her unbelievable special ability aligns perfectly with Qing Yan?"
"Of course, it also has to do with her hometown and origins!" Lin Xiaosu said, "After sealing off Kun Cang last time, I searched for a lot of information about her..."
Searching for her information, Lin Xiaosu contacted someone.
Who?
The White-clothed Professor Xiang Yixiu.
Xiang Yixiu was commissioned by Qianlong to guard Wuxiang Temple.
For him, this charming professor, guarding Wuxiang Temple was originally unacceptable, but he managed it with flair, because by guarding this gateway, he could obtain a lot of resources from the Otherworld, like skins, meat, crystal cores, and even live Exotic Beasts, perfect for Xiang Yixiu's research, right?
Moreover, Qianlong opened many doors for him after taking over Wuxiang Temple, and several of his female graduate students often came to inquire about scholarly matters. Note, not just one, but several...
This temple, once a pure land of Buddhism, became his secular paradise.
His accomplishments today are greatly owed to Lin Xiaosu.
As a result, upon receiving Lin Xiaosu's call, this professor immediately started the investigation without a second thought.
Through this investigation, Dawa's basic situation was fully uncovered...
Dawa once told Lin Xiaosu things, half-truths mixed with lies.
She indeed came from the Tibetan Mo Ye Valley, and her clan indeed called Pengfen.
However, she wasn't ostracized by her clan for her "Plague God" constitution causing cattle and sheep deaths. Her childhood was actually happy, and she hadn't yet manifested the Plague God constitution then.
She and her parents lived happily together, but when she was ten, she was abducted.
She completely disappeared from her clan's world.
This time on Wushen Mountain, Lin Xiaosu contacted Xiang Yixiu again, and he told him a new piece of information:
On October 11th, Dawa entered Kun Cang.
"No Plague God constitution manifested in her childhood, but it did after she went missing!" Blue Demon said, "Due to Nirvana!"
"Yes!"
"The timing aligns perfectly, as does the origin!"
"Yes!"
"She went into Kun Cang over a month ago... could there be any scheme?" Blue Demon asked.
"Note this timing, October 11th!" Lin Xiaosu said, "We completed the operation on Kney Island on October 7th, and October 11th is the day after the global list of Nine Headed Snake members was announced."
The light in Blue Demon's eyes flickered slightly: "You mean, Nine Headed Snake knew their end was near, so they plan to use the forces inside Kun Cang for a desperate breakout!"
"There are two possibilities, one very pessimistic and one very optimistic," Lin Xiaosu said. "The pessimistic outcome, as you inferred, is she might be a pawn of the Nine Headed Snake, infiltrating Kun Cang! The optimistic outcome is... Qing Yan knows she's facing the Lord's summoning, so she enters Kun Cang to evade the Lord's control."
Nine Headed Snake, such a massive organization, it's like a centipede that won't easily die.
Besides, isn't it just half-dead for now?
The Lord's influence is basically severed, and his strength is no longer substantial.
So, with all lines lost on the periphery, the only strength he can possibly use might be the last cards by his side, such as the strong Nirvana practitioners.
Qing Yan's ability is extremely terrifying.
The likelihood of utilizing her is very high.
Qing Yan, indeed might really hide in Kun Cang to escape.
"Let's not dwell on the pessimistic; let's talk about the optimistic you mentioned..." Blue Demon said. "If Qing Yan truly intends to rebel against the Lord, why doesn't she take the initiative to contact us... hmm, you?"
"She doesn't dare! She still has her parents, her clan! She knows the Lord's strength; she can't entrust her family and clan members' lives to us." Lin Xiaosu said.
"You always seem to believe that the moon in your heart remains untainted." Blue Demon said.
"The sky is uniform without specks of dust, a solitary bright moon in the sky... perhaps this is also a beautiful yearning!" Lin Xiaosu said, "After finishing the current work, I also want to go through Kun Cang once."
"What are you going to do in Kun Cang?"
"I don't know what major event will happen on the third day of March next year, but I always need to make some preparations." Lin Xiaosu said, "I want to borrow some people from Kun Cang!"
"Qianlong... is not enough to handle it?" Blue Demon felt a mix of emotions inside.
"I plan to use arrays! Arrays require a large number of cultivation experts. Qianlong doesn't have many cultivation experts." Lin Xiaosu said.
Cultivation experts!
That indeed is an irrefutable reason to enter Kun Cang.
Qianlong has many experts, but mostly Genetic People, few Ancient Martial Cultivators.
Blue Demon sighed softly, "As the battle progresses step by step, I started feeling my inadequacy, that maybe someday in the future, I... I can't keep up by your side."
"Don't say that, senior sister. We've walked side by side until today, and you've always been the brightest moon above me, you have to guide me."
Blue Demon chuckled, "Oh, you. How should I put this, using sweet words indiscriminately... I'm telling the truth! Even if I want to accompany you at that time, I won't be able to keep up with your pace."
"Senior sister, have you ever thought, you actually... actually might be able to... upgrade!"
"Impossible! I'm a Genetic Person! The characteristics of Genetic People dictate being at the peak right from the start."
