Luo Jiayin's face changed slightly: "Xuantian Domain... Then you..."
"I will find her." Lin Che said decisively, his tone carrying unquestionable determination.
"Oh." Luo Jiayin lowered her head, her voice inexplicably somewhat disappointed, "Then go. I wish you good luck."
"Wait." Lin Che suddenly moved closer, his index finger lifting her chin, smiling like a fox who stole a chicken, "You seem disappointed? Can't bear to part with me?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Luo Jiayin was both embarrassed and annoyed, slapping his hand away, "Who... who can't bear to part with you!"
[System: Detected target's heartbeat accelerating, blood pressure rising, emotional fluctuation index +200. Host, you're playing with fire.]
"Playing with fire is fun." Lin Che chuckled, taking her little hand again, "Besides, don't you want to know why your memory has Xuanjian Sect matters?"
Luo Jiayin's pupils constricted: "How... how do you know about Xuanjian Sect?"
The corner of Lin Che's mouth curved into a bad smile: "That golden light just now also interpreted some memory fragments in your soul as a bonus. Including... your pitiful appearance when you were bullied by Xuanjian Sect elders as a child."
"You! You peeked at my memories!" Luo Jiayin was both embarrassed and angry, trying to break free from his hand, but he held it tighter.
"Don't move." Lin Che suddenly restrained his smile, his eyes becoming deep, "Some things are better said than bottled up."
Luo Jiayin looked at him blankly, not knowing why, but the defense she had built up for years in her heart had a crack.
She slowly spoke, her voice carrying unprecedented exhaustion:
"Heaven's Mystery Sect is merely a pawn of Xuanjian Sect from Xuantian Domain in Canglan Realm. Their mission is to plunder resources in Canglan Realm and then offer tribute to Xuanjian Sect."
Lin Che stroked her little hand, occasionally pinching it as if playing with a fun toy. But his mouth asked seriously, "What about Mount Emei? Also a pawn?"
"En." Luo Jiayin bit her lip, enduring not pulling her hand back, "Mount Emei... is also a new branch developed by Xuanjian Sect. They forced us to work for them, plundering various resources in Canglan Realm. To quickly grow stronger and break free from Xuanjian Sect's control sooner, we had no choice but to seize others' inheritances everywhere... this is the truth."
"The Sect Master is my grandmother. She doesn't want to submit, but fears Xuanjian Sect's power." Luo Jiayin's beautiful eyes held tears, "All of us were forced."
[System: Detected Host taking advantage of her. Suggest knowing your limits.]
"I'm comforting her, understand?" Lin Che defended inwardly, but his hand didn't loosen at all.
His other hand also took the opportunity to wrap around Luo Jiayin's slender waist, pulling her into his embrace: "Continue, I'm listening."
"You!" Luo Jiayin's face was red to her ears, but for some reason, her body felt soft and weak, unable to muster strength.
She could only let him hold her and continue: "Xuanjian Sect is too strong. They have five Refining Void ancestors. We simply cannot contend with them..."
"Who says we can't contend?" Lin Che interrupted her, his eyes filled with battle intent, "Since we can't beat them one-on-one, then build a force stronger than them!"
Luo Jiayin was stunned: "You... you mean?"
"From today on, I will create the 'Killing God Pavilion'!" Lin Che enunciated each word, his tone carrying unquestionable dominance, "Specializing in killing Xuanjian Sect's lackeys, robbing their resources, and breaking their schemes!"
"I want Xuanjian Sect to know—Canglan Realm is not their backyard!"
[Ding! Main quest changed: Create Killing God Pavilion!]
[Quest Objective: Establish a force powerful enough to contend with Xuanjian Sect and kill all Xuanjian Sect lackeys!]
[Quest Reward: Slaughter Points cap +50,000, unlock God of War "Ghost Schemer·Jia Xu" complete form!]
Luo Jiayin looked at the man before her, beautiful eyes gleaming.
She suddenly said softly: "Actually... I have another secret I haven't told you."
"What secret?" Lin Che raised an eyebrow.
Luo Jiayin bit her lip, her voice so low it was almost inaudible: "Every Mount Emei Holy Maiden... cultivates a forbidden technique called 'Jade Maiden Heart Sutra'. This technique allows cultivation to grow extremely fast while one remains a virgin. But once one joins with a man... 80% of the cultivation will transfer to the man."
