Chapter 1156 Xuanyu 12
What was originally just an ordinary stone has now acquired the chilling aura of the essence of Gui water, making it look extraordinary.

The star chart jumped up and down: "Your essence of Gui water... wasn't it meant for me?"

"How big of a face?" Tan You tossed the one-fifth of the star map's original form: "This is what I prepared for the blue stone chessboard. Your things are here."

The Star Chart grumbled, "If you give me the essence of Gui Water, I can also improve my abilities..."

“You have an independent mindset, and if you want to improve your abilities, you should find your own way.” Tan Youcai wasn’t so selfless: “We’re not related, so of course I’ll prioritize myself when there are benefits.”

Star Chart: "I can sign a destiny contract with you."

“Really, I don’t need you,” Tan You scoffed. “I don’t engage in close combat, so I don’t need you. My bluestone chessboard is just fine.”

The star chart is helpless. Are there really people so clear-headed and rational that they wouldn't even accept a windfall?

The beauty system whispered to Tan You, "Host, isn't the Life Contract amazing?"

"Who would dare sign a contract with someone whose background is completely unknown?" Tan You instructed the little system: "What if you get sold out and still end up helping them count the money? Anyone who's eager to give you benefits must have some grand scheme in mind, and they'll end up making money off you in the end."

The beauty system understood: "So...it's not a good person?"

"Maybe, we can't say for sure right now, but we should try to have as little contact with it as possible. Who knows what it is?" Tan You narrowed her eyes: "The timing of its appearance is too coincidental. Why did it appear at the very moment I was undergoing my tribulation?"

"It's such a coincidence that he even fantasized about becoming my savior."

The beauty system cautiously suggested, "Then...should we separate from it? It's not good for it to always be around us, is it?"

“It comes and goes without a trace, and we can’t do anything about it, but it’s best not to have any connection with it.” Tan You pondered, “As for whether it wants to follow, then let it follow.”

Despite the Star Chart offering even more benefits for forming a contract with it, Tan You remained unmoved. On the contrary, she silently raised the danger level of the Star Chart to another level.

This guy has been lobbying so hard, and now it's the one eager to form a contract with me. Why is it in such a hurry? This guy definitely won't tell the truth, so Tan You doesn't care anymore; it's not her who's in a hurry anyway.

Perhaps the Star Chart realized it had been too hasty, because it didn't mention the contract again, but instead told Tan You about this revenge.

"I thought you would kill Yin Yue, Jin Jiao, Sang Lin, and Yu Yan. Now Sang Lin is seriously injured, Jin Jiao is unharmed, and Yin Yue and Yu Yan have been imprisoned for a thousand years. Your revenge is too light."

Tan You smiled faintly: "Of course I could kill them directly, but it's not worth it. I'm all alone. Sang Lin, Jin Jiao, or Yin Yue all have powerful backers."

"On the surface, I've avenged myself, but Jin Jiao is the only one still alive and able to walk independently. Would she let Yin Yue off so easily?" Tan You said, clenching her fist and making a firework-like gesture. "And in that formation, I deliberately left Jin Jiao's aura behind."

“Jin Jiao is not someone to be trifled with. With Sang Lin seriously injured, her days in the Dragon Palace will certainly not be easy.” Tan You sneered, “To vent her anger, she will definitely cause trouble for Yin Yue.”

"As long as she gets there..." Tan You chuckled, "Will Yin Yue still be alive then?"

Star Chart: "What if? What if Jin Jiao lets Yin Yue go?" "That's fine too," Tan You raised an eyebrow: "The spiritual energy in the trench is scarce. If there is no external supply, Yin Yue will surely die within two hundred years at most."

"No matter where she goes, Yin Yue is doomed. But can Jin Jiao wait patiently for two hundred years? Either way, I won't lose out."

"If she had died at Jin Jiao's hands, I would have avoided a karmic burden."

The star chart sighed, "You've gone too far with your calculations."

Tan You said casually, "Once you see through people's hearts, you'll understand everything."

The Star Chart finally understood: "I was wondering why you came to the Dragon Palace so early and why you personally delivered the spiritualized Purple Essence Grass to Sang Lin. Now it seems it was all for the revenge we have now?"

“That’s natural,” Tan You said, not surprised that the Star Chart had seen through her intentions. “The Purple Essence Grass is indeed helpful for stabilizing one’s realm, but too much of a good thing can be bad. If Sang Lin hadn’t been injured, he could have slowly refined the medicinal power.”

“But Sang Lin is seriously injured, and the Queen is very concerned for her. If she gives Sang Lin Huang Yuan Dan again, the effects of the medicine will clash and only worsen Sang Lin’s injuries.” Xing Chen Tu finished her sentence for her: “If the Queen does not give Sang Lin the pill, Sang Lin will only need to recuperate for several decades.”

"But now, Sang Lin will not be able to cultivate again for at least a hundred years."

Tan You snapped her fingers: "I knew you could tell."

The star chart fell silent, believing it could now deduce the secrets of heaven. But now, looking at Tan You, she usually fiddled with the chessboard, saying nothing and rarely prying into the secrets of heaven.

But just a small action brought about this series of consequences. Even when investigated later, no one would have guessed that she was the one who secretly did it.

After all, the Queen gave Sang Lin the spiritual herbs, and the Queen also gave Sang Lin the Huang Yuan Dan. In the end, the Queen was the one who took the blame for Tan You.

She's incredibly accurate in her calculations.

Tan You looked up at the sky: "It's not that I'm accurate, but if Sang Lin were just an ordinary cultivator and didn't have that many resources, he would have seriously injured himself, and that would have been the end of it."

"Who made the Dragon Palace so powerful and wealthy? But on the other hand, if Sang Lin were an ordinary person, there wouldn't be these grudges between him and me. It's just a matter of fate."

Tan You felt she had already avenged herself, and she could foresee the fates of Jin Jiao and Yin Yue.

The Queen was not someone to be trifled with. Even though Jin Jiao was framed, Sang Lin was her most promising son. Sang Lin had brought such a disaster upon himself because of Jin Jiao; if they could eliminate him completely, it would be fine.

Yet, they still managed to come knocking on their door, openly trampling on the Dragon Clan's dignity. And with Sang Lin still seriously injured and unconscious, the Queen naturally blamed Jin Jiao for this.

She herself selectively forgot that she was the one who gave Huang Yuandan to Sang Lin; after all, people are good at shirking responsibility. A mother-in-law who wants to control her daughter-in-law always has a way.

Especially when her son was still unconscious and unable to protect his wife, the Queen resorted to even more cruel and malicious methods to Jin Jiao.

What could Jin Jiao do about all this? She could only endure it. If she hadn't listened to Yu Yan and fallen into Yin Yue's trap, how could she have ended up in this predicament?
People like them will never look for the reasons within themselves.
