When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1153 Xuanyu 9
Jin Jiao could no longer kowtow. She collapsed to the ground, looking at Tan You with almost despair: "What...what exactly do you want to do?"

“Of course, it’s a blood debt must be repaid in blood,” Tan You snapped her fingers, “but if your answer satisfies me…”

Jin Jiao looked up at Tan You with a pitiful expression; "What...what do you want to know?"

Tan You held the blue stone chessboard in one hand and calculated the secrets of heaven with the other: "How could it be such a coincidence that day? I had just obtained the Starfall Grass, and you, Sang Lin, and Yu Yan just happened to arrive at Star Moon Cliff?"

Jin Jiao racked her brains and finally remembered why she and Sang Lin had gone to Star Moon Cliff that day: "It was Yu Yan, it was Yu Yan who told me that the nine-colored flowers at the bottom of Star Moon Cliff were about to bloom, and that they were especially beautiful..."

"Yu Yan?" Tan You raised an eyebrow, her gaze falling on Yu Yan. Yu Yan's expression changed drastically, and she knelt down with a thud: "It's because you, Eighth Prince's Consort, like brightly colored things! I've heard that the Nine-Colored Flower of Star Moon Cliff blooms only once every hundred years, and is the most beautiful and mysterious flower in the sea..."

"I heard it?" Tan You chuckled. "Who told you that?"

Hidden in the crowd, Yin Yue almost lost her balance. She hid behind her mother even more, knowing that she was likely to be in grave danger today.

More than a hundred years have passed since then, and Yu Yan never took Xuan Yu to heart from beginning to end. Now she has to think very carefully to recall even a few fragments.

“I remember… I remember Miss Yin Yue came to the Dragon Palace once before,” Yu Yan said, racking her brains. “She said that you, the Eighth Prince’s Consort, usually like red the most, and coincidentally, the Nine-Colored Flower is likely to be red this time.”

Seeing the accusations escalating to Yin Yue, Yin Yue's mother, Hua Ling, panicked: "You're talking nonsense! When has my daughter Yin Yue ever said such a thing? Xuan Yu, she's just making baseless accusations..."

Before she finished speaking, Tan You flicked her fingers, and a bolt of heavenly lightning struck Hua Ling. Hua Ling immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and her cultivation level dropped by two ranks.

Yin Yue was anxious. Her own mother was being hurt like this in front of her, but she didn't dare to confront Tan You directly. She could only glare at Tan You hatefully.

With a casual gesture, Tan You sent a transparent stellar energy around Yin Yue's waist, pulling her close. Yin Yue, caught off guard, stumbled and fell awkwardly beside Jin Jiao and Yu Yan.

Yu Yan now hated her to the core, and whenever she saw Yin Yue, she would try to strangle her. The two then began to fight in the palace, their usual dignified and elegant demeanor completely gone.

Tan You coughed lightly, and Yu Yan immediately stopped. She knelt on the ground with her eyebrows drooping and eyes downcast: "Your Highness, this servant did covet your Starfall Grass, but it was really not this servant who persuaded the Eighth Prince and the Eighth Princess to go to Star Moon Cliff. It was Yin Yue who provided the information."

Tan You glanced at Yu Yan. She didn't have time to seek revenge on a maid right now, since the person she really wanted to find was still ahead of her.

After circling Yin Yue, Tan You clicked her tongue and said, "You're strange. How come I can't divination your secrets? Who's been deceiving you?"

Yin Yue shuddered, but still stubbornly insisted, "I don't understand what you're talking about."

"It's alright, you'll understand soon enough," Tan You chuckled, moving the chess pieces on the bluestone chessboard around her. Soon, a small array appeared around Yin Yue.

Yin Yue froze, feeling as if she were completely locked in by this formation. The next second, Yin Yue was stunned. Before her eyes, a transparent light screen appeared, displaying her memories from the past few hundred years. Some things she vaguely remembered were now presented so openly to everyone.

Hua Ling cried out in alarm and tried to stop her, but she was blocked outside the formation and could not stop Tan You from captivating Yin Yue.

In Yin Yue's memory, she was the most esteemed member of the Silvertail Clan, and she remained perfectly normal until she turned eighty. It wasn't until after she turned eighty that another person, Qi Jue, gradually appeared in her memories.

The other party will give Yin Yue all kinds of rare and precious materials, guide Yin Yue in cultivation, and even make a vow with Yin Yue that as long as Yin Yue ascends to immortality, they will become Daoist partners.

What Yin Yue needed to do was to keep a close eye on Xuan Yu's every move and inform him immediately if there was any unusual activity. It was also Qi Jue who told Yin Yue about the blooming of the Nine-Colored Flower at Star Moon Cliff.

Yin Yue's father, Yin Zheng, also saw all of Yin Yue's memories. He glared at Yin Yue with disappointment. It was obvious that this Qi Jue was a celestial lord from the upper realm. Why would a celestial lord keep an eye on Xuan Yu all the time?

After Xuan Yu was born, the clan naturally knew that she had fallen from the upper realm, so they usually ignored her. But he never expected that his daughter would do so many things behind his back.

In her memory, the bullying of Xuan Yu was basically instigated by her behind the scenes.

At this point, Tan You understood that Qi Jue from the Realm of Emotions had been watching her all along. But who exactly was this Qi Jue? How could he have predicted things so accurately? How did he know the original owner would go to the Star-Picking Grass?
Things are getting more and more interesting.

With a light snap of her fingers, Yin Yue shuddered. She crawled two steps on her knees, trying to grab Tan You's skirt to beg for mercy. However, Tan You slightly turned her head and said, "Now I understand why you have been so diligent in your cultivation all these years. Your plans are indeed grand."

"Since he can contact you at any time, how come there's been no movement from him now that you're in my hands?" Tan You bowed slightly: "Idiot."

Seeing Yin Yue's wide eyes, Tan You said with a hint of boredom, "How many times have you seen him in the past hundred years?"

Yin Yue collapsed to the ground, wanting to defend herself again, but how could she convince herself? She wasn't truly stupid; she was merely a pawn in Qi Jue's scheme to monitor Xuan Yu.

Although Yin Zheng was furious that Yin Yue had caused all this trouble behind the scenes, she was still his daughter, and he had to clean up the mess she had made. He cupped his hands to Tan You and said, "We really didn't know Yin Yue had done all this behind the scenes, but you're still alright. Could you please consider that she was also deceived and let her off the hook?"

“You have quite the heart of a loving father,” Tan You scoffed, “You’re much more humane than Jin Sheng.”

Jin Sheng, whose name was called, stiffened. At this moment, he had no choice but to plead for Jin Jiao: "Jin Jiao has been spoiled by me and her mother. Please, have mercy..."

“You all begged me to be lenient,” Tan You chuckled, “but back then, when Yin Yue schemed against me, and Jin Jiao tried to steal my Starfall Grass for Yu Yan, neither of them blinked an eye.”

Jin Jiao immediately started kowtowing again: "I was also deceived, please forgive me this time, I beg you!"

Tan You remained silent, her gaze falling on Sang Yue: "Sang Yue, why don't you tell me, how do you plan to clean up the mess after your son and daughter-in-law have done such a thing?"
