The stolen magic is a bit magical

“I never intended to hide it from the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect,” Lin Xiaosu said.

"Why?"

"Because I need them to know that everything they are about to suffer is because of their previous invasion of the Great Xia!"

Lin Weiyang was slightly taken aback: "You already have a plan targeting the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect."

"The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect was the main sect that invaded the Great Xia Realm in the early stages. They directly sank 101 to the bottom of the sea, causing the deaths of countless compatriots. How many people sacrificed themselves on the South China Sea defense line? Because of their invasion, how many families in the Great Xia Realm were torn apart, with wives and children separated and homes destroyed? How could I let such a sect go? Therefore, after gaining a foothold, I have already made a plan to deal with them."

"It is a top-tier sect, one of the Six Paths and Nine Gates. It's not like those scraps you wiped out when you went down to Jiangnan."

"Yes, that's why I only decided on the specific timeline for action today."

"when?"

"After the Lantern Festival!"

Where?

Lanzhou!

Lin Weiyang let out a long sigh: "I am pleased with your answer, but I am also very disappointed."

"Oh?"

"I'm gratified to see Lin Xiaosu who hasn't changed her original intentions, and I've also seen an old friend who treated me honestly!" Lin Weiyang said, "But do you know where the disappointment lies?"

"consult!"

Lin Weiyang sighed, "Don't be too honest in the game of strategy, especially when it comes to important plans. Don't trust people too easily!"

Lin Xiaosu smiled: "I don't trust others easily, I only trust you!"

Lin Weiyang finally smiled: "Shall we have a cup of tea instead of wine?"

"We already have wine, why substitute tea?" Lin Xiaosu raised her hand, and a wine bottle appeared in her palm, Dreamland Spring.

A grand melody from that world, and old friends from that world.

With a gentle clinking of glasses, the aroma of the wine fills the air.

One sip, and you taste the flavor of home.

"Don't dwell on old friends and homeland, let's try the new tea with the newly kindled fire... Have a cup of tea I brought from my hometown and let's talk about something new." Lin Weiyang raised her hand and poured Lin Xiaosu a cup of new tea.

This cup of tea was indeed brought from that world by Lin Weiyang, and it was even tea from Lin Xiaosu's hometown: Xianglu Yunwu.

"It tastes just like home!" Lin Xiaosu took a small sip. "Tell me!"

"You just mentioned the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, now it's time to talk about the Heart Sect or the Heart Path," Lin Weiyang said. "What are your thoughts on this super giant?"

“I originally had a plan, but now I’ve changed my mind!” Lin Xiaosu said, “I would like to hear your opinion, Professor.”

Why did you change your mind?

“Because… I think the professor is more suitable to deal with it!” Lin Xiaosu said.

"Just because I took down six of its pavilions?" Lin Weiyang said.

"Not only that, but also because... Professor, through a grand operation, you can establish your foundation in this world, so that the two of us can truly stand side by side again in this great calamity and create the era we desire!"

Lin Weiyang slowly raised her head and looked at him quietly: "You want me to rise to your level? So you want to give me an achievement?"

"Yes!"

What kind of achievements?

"Completely disrupt the Heart Path's plans, making the Heart Path and Heart Gate intolerable to the world!"

Lin Weiyang took a deep breath: "Let me see the chips you have."

Lin Xiaosu stretched out her hand!
In his hand was a booklet.

The booklet is very new, and the ink still smells fresh.

Lin Weiyang opened the book, and the records inside were so shocking...

"On the first day of the fourth month of the 3865th year of the Ancient Era, the Heart Gate initiated the Yan Kingdom's 'Seed Replacement Plan'. The Heart Gate's Holy Son had an affair with Lady Liu of Donghe, resulting in her pregnancy, and helped her enter the palace as a concubine... On the third day of the eighth month of the 3866th year, the 'Prince' was born. In the same year, the eldest prince was eliminated. In the eleven years, all the other princes were eliminated, and the surviving offspring of the Heart Gate's Holy Son succeeded to the throne... On the 17th day of the sixth month of the 3886th year, the cause and effect was activated, forcing the Yan King to acknowledge his ancestors and return to his clan. The Yan Kingdom was subdued."

Lin Weiyang suddenly looked up: "The King of Yan is actually a descendant of the Heart Gate?"

“There are many such incidents!” Lin Xiaosu said, “The Heart Gate has played out all sorts of dramas in reality. The Yan Kingdom is the most thorough, directly replacing the emperor with their own people. The Chu Kingdom and the Ye Kingdom have similar situations. However, this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is their infiltration into the major sects. The sects listed in this book include Tiandu, the Underworld, and Xuanhuang. Currently, only Cangyuan is not recorded.”

Lin Weiyang's back was covered in sweat: "Such a record should be a top secret. Where did you get it?"

“Some of it came from the Heart Pavilion in the Desolate Capital, some I deduced by connecting various materials, and some I even obtained by refining the primordial spirit of the Heart Gate elders,” Lin Xiaosu said. “These top-secret materials from the Heart Pavilion were destroyed by the Heart Gate’s Xuan Kong using primordial secret techniques. However, what they didn’t know was that before we truly confronted the Heart Pavilion, I had already used espionage methods to infiltrate the top-level data room, and I had seen all of these materials.”

“Alright, I have no doubt about your methods!” Lin Weiyang said, “You gave me these documents hoping I would present them to His Majesty, is that right?”

"Yes!"

“The Great Wilderness is currently engaged in fierce warfare with the four kingdoms. During national wars, no means are spared. If His Majesty knew these secrets, he would definitely release them publicly, igniting a war of words among the four kingdoms and throwing the enemy into chaos!” Lin Weiyang said.

"Yes!"

"The war of public opinion among the four countries has been ignited, and Xinmen and Xindao's plans in the four countries have suffered a major setback. They will definitely retaliate against His Majesty."

"Yes!"

"His Majesty feels immense pressure from the Heart Gate and Heart Path and will ponder a way to break the deadlock. At this time, I will give His Majesty another batch of secrets to introduce the pressure from the three sects of Heavenly Capital, Xuanhuang, and Underworld, as well as the other five paths and eight gates, onto the chessboard, making the Heart Gate and Heart Path the target of everyone's attacks and leaving them unable to take care of themselves, is that right?"

"Yes!"

"And I have done so much for His Majesty, so it is only natural that he will promote me again and again, so that I can be like you, starting from scratch and advancing ten ranks in half a year!"

Lin Xiaosu laughed: "So Professor Lin is the one who is on the same wavelength as me."

Lin Weiyang sighed softly: "I really want to be on the same wavelength as you, but there's something I don't understand. You clearly obtained this pile of information a long time ago, and you clearly wanted to get promoted quickly and occupy a favorable position in the officialdom, but you didn't use this information. Instead, you chose the much more difficult path of going to Jiangnan, leaving this shortcut to me. Is it really because we share the same surname and clan?"

Lin Xiaosu stopped laughing and stared at Lin Weiyang.

Lin Weiyang also looked at him quietly.

Youying looked at this and that, completely bewildered.

She was never stupid, but she seemed to have to admit that when these two were talking, her mind couldn't keep up with her ears.

I had just begun to understand a little bit of what was going on when I was quickly confused by new information.

"Professor Lin, there are two answers to this question, one that sounds quite agreeable, and the other that doesn't. Which one should we choose?"

“It sounds nice!” Lin Weiyang said.

“Hmm…” Lin Xiaosu said, “I get along very well with the professor, and I especially like his character.”

Lin Weiyang's expression was unreadable: "What if it's something you don't like to hear?"

"Didn't you already choose the one that sounds good? If it doesn't, then let's skip it?" Lin Xiaosu said.

"Let me tell you, otherwise I might imagine it to be even more complicated," Lin Weiyang said calmly.

Lin Xiaosu sighed: "The reason is actually very simple. Announcing this news is extremely dangerous. I, Lin Xiaosu, am a person with a life of my own, and I would do my best to avoid death if possible."

In short, Shadow's eyes widened in surprise.

Lin Weiyang glared at him fiercely: "So what? I'm useless, I can die?"

"Sacrifice is inevitable in revolutionary work. In such a large-scale operation as ours, sacrifice is a normal option. If you sacrifice yourself, I guarantee that your name will be engraved on the Tenglong Monument."

Lin Weiyang closed her eyes: "Xiao Su, what day is it today?"

"The second day of the Lunar New Year!"

Lin Weiyang said, "In our world, if you go to someone's house on the second day of the Lunar New Year and curse them to die, do you think it's normal or not?"

Lin Xiaosu blinked her eyes: "I understand, I'm leaving! You don't need to rush me!"

Lin Xiaosu quit immediately.

He turned his back and disappeared.

Lin Weiyang looked at him quietly, her stern face slowly relaxing, and finally a smile appeared on her face.

"Teacher, you two have been talking for so long. I heard every word and understood every word, but when put together, it seems like I've only heard a few words and nothing at all." Youying blinked, a hint of resentment in her eyes.

Lin Weiyang laughed: "This kid is really shrewd! Even more shrewd than ever before!"

"shrewd?"

"He seemed to be giving me a path to rapid advancement, but in reality, he was testing me!"

What are you testing for?

“Naturally, he is testing me!” Lin Weiyang said, “From that world to this world, he has never truly believed me! The Six-Eared Left Guardian on my table has formed a deep prejudice against him.”

Youying's expression changed: "He guessed your identity?"

"That's impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Lin Weiyang said, "But he still suspects that I am a member of the Heart Gate or the Heart Path!"

Youying let out a soft sigh: "So, he gave you this pile of top-secret information. If you were truly a member of the Heart Gate or the Heart Path, you would never have made this information public."

"Yes, if I were a member of the Heart Gate or the Heart Path, I would use every means to kill him and silence him!"

"But he's wrong! The teacher really will make this information public!"

"Yes!" Lin Weiyang said, "I will request an audience with His Majesty in three days!"

Lin Xiaosu and Qingying returned to the Marquis's residence.

After returning to the Marquis's residence, Lin Xiaosu sat down in the gauze pavilion.

"My lord, have you seen this Lin Weiyang?" Qingying asked.

"seen!"

"Is he...is he really that amazing?" Qingying asked.

Lin Xiaosu laughed: "An ordinary person, without even cultivation, yet he has a Daoist master who becomes his loyal subordinate. Don't you think that's amazing?"

Qingying's eyes widened: "Zhidao?"

"You didn't expect that, did you? I didn't expect it either!" Lin Xiaosu said.

He was telling the truth.

He had seen the shadow before. In another world.

When he and Ding Ruoshui were "honeymooning" in the South China Sea, and when he set up the plot to lure and kill the Utopia Lord for Lin Weiyang, he saw Youying for the first time in his life.

He immediately sensed that the shadow was extraordinary.

Ding Ruoshui knew that Youying was no ordinary person.

However, at most, the two of them regarded Youying as a standard template for a certain enlightened being who fell into the mortal world.

In that world on that day, the Heavenly Dao had not yet undergone any changes. Although it had a great suppressive effect on the Enlightenment Realm, at most it could only prevent the Enlightenment Realm from exerting its combat power, and it did not prevent the Enlightenment Realm from living as a "top-level Heavenly Gazer".

However, he never expected this.

The Shadow is not actually in the state of enlightenment; she is in the state of attachment!
How to describe the difference between enlightenment and attachment? It's roughly the difference between a candle flame and the moon.

When he saw Lin Weiyang today, his gaze was no longer the same as before.

He could clearly see that Youying was a cultivator in the realm of execution, practicing rules of darkness.

Youying didn't actually hide it from him. Right in front of him, she waved her hand lightly and created a soundproof circle of standard Realm-level quality out of thin air.

Knowing this, Lin Xiaosu didn't ask a single question about the entire process of Lin Weiyang taking over Xin Ge.

He doesn't need to ask.

Because he already knew the answer.

Six pavilions of the heart, free from attachment.

They had no power to resist the Judgment Realm.

Lin Weiyang possesses the Moon Lotus, one of the three treasures of a demigod, and his demigod cultivation has always been above Lin Xiaosu's. He couldn't see through Lin Weiyang's specific cultivation level back then, and he still can't see it now.

He had some reflections...

He and the people he passed by generally followed a certain rule. At first, Lin Xiaosu regarded them as celestial beings from the heavens, but soon, the distance between them was closing, and he could even easily step on their heads.

For example, the Bloodstained King on that day.

For example, Mad Blade of the Mad Blade Sect.

These were all people he initially regarded as the heavens above him, but now seem insignificant.

Lin Weiyang is different from Youying.

Lin Xiaosu's cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds. After entering this world, he successively crossed the three major barriers of Enlightenment of Body, Enlightenment of Spirit, and Enlightenment of Rules. His opponents were initially at the Enlightenment of Body level, but now, he can kill at the Enlightenment Realm with a wave of his hand. Their cultivation levels are vastly different. However, the gap between him and these two has not widened at all.

My impression then is the same as my impression now.

Scary, isn't it?

terrible!

That's why he set up this test for Lin Weiyang; he genuinely suspected that Lin Weiyang was a person of the Heart Path or the Heart Gate!
Only such profound and unfathomable "doors" and "ways" could have people that even he couldn't understand!

Qingying sighed softly: "It's highly illogical that someone without cultivation can command the Dao. My lord, is it possible that this is just a smokescreen? Or is the situation reversed? In reality, everything is being orchestrated by that Dao, and Lin Weiyang is merely a decoy she's using?"

It must be said that Qingying was never just a pretty face.

The situation she described does exist and is logical.

How can a great being who upholds the Way be driven by ordinary people?

Lin Xiaosu gently shook her head: "Impossible!"

"Why?"

Lin Xiaosu said, "Because this Daoist is a woman, and he has already taken her to bed and done it countless times. There is only one possibility for a woman to be willing to sleep with a man: she truly admires him."

The bluebird was silent.

Lin Xiaosu glanced to the side and her eyes fell on her flushed face.

I rely on!

Lin Xiaosu quickly explained, "Qingying, don't misunderstand, I... I didn't mean that."

"My lord... if you have no other plans, I'm going into seclusion!" Qingying said.

"Go!"

Qingying's figure flashed and disappeared.

With her gone, Lin Xiaosu can also choose to go into seclusion.

Anyway, he didn't have any friends in the officialdom in this world, so he didn't plan to visit those officials. Most of them were people promoted by the former crown prince, and they had a lot of grudges against him, so it was unlikely that they would come to visit him.

Very well, he's become a taboo marquis in the officialdom, so he can just shut himself in and cultivate himself in seclusion.

He also has many things to do in his spiritual practice.

For example, the blossoming of the Dao Seeds of the Seven Heavenly Daos will keep him busy for a while.

When he returned from his trip to the south of the Yangtze River, his Time Law Dao Seed blossomed.

While accompanying Gu Suixin on his business trip, his primordial spirit remained constantly engaged in comprehension before his mental mirror, studying the laws of chaos and the sword strike from Cang Yuan Liu Ye…

Even when he was singing and playing music with the Moon Demon or arguing with the Cold Smoke, his primordial spirit in front of the mirror was always focused on cultivation. This is the advantage of having two primordial spirits.

Now that I'm in seclusion, I no longer need to keep a primordial spirit for daily use. I can bring out both primordial spirits at the same time and comprehend them simultaneously.

Without further ado, Lin Xiaosu sat cross-legged in the bedroom, and her two primordial spirits began to comprehend the laws of life simultaneously, each performing its own task. One primordial spirit comprehended the laws of life, and the other comprehended the laws of reincarnation. The seeds of life and reincarnation rotated before the Heart Mirror, and the laws were analyzed simultaneously in two areas, left and right...

And so, time flowed by outside the window.

The Lunar New Year celebrations have moved from the second day of the Lunar New Year to the Lantern Festival...

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, a major event occurred.

A great event began in the inner palace.

Lin Weiyang, the deputy director of the four departments of Zhentian Pavilion, requested an audience with His Majesty and presented a stack of papers.

His Majesty stared at this stack of papers for a long time, his expression shifting dramatically.

"Minister Lin, where did this news come from?" His Majesty's voice was exceptionally gentle.

"Your Majesty, I have captured six Heart Pavilions and collected a considerable amount of information from them. After integration, the thirteen secrets on this stack of papers should be enough to respond to the four kingdoms and alleviate the current border concerns," Lin Weiyang said.

His Majesty nodded slowly: "Take a look at them all!"

As soon as the voice fell, the imperial seal projection displayed the thirteen secrets on the stack of papers in the void.

Below, Minister of Justice Song Lifu and Zhentian Pavilion Master Lei Tianlun were both terrified...

The thirteen secrets all record the royal families of Yan, Chu, Ye, and the Central Region Kaiyuan Kingdom, which attacked across the sea, and the contents are incredibly explosive.

The most exciting one was the Northern Yan.

The Emperor of Yan was originally the offspring of the Holy Son of the Heart Gate. The process of his conception was precise down to a specific day, and the operation chain was precisely linked to a specific person, making his credibility extremely high!
If such a secret were to be released, the Yan royal family would immediately become a scandal that would last for ages, and the royal family would inevitably fall into chaos!

The imperial family is bound to fall into chaos!

As the royal family, which places the greatest emphasis on bloodline inheritance, how could they allow a so-called emperor who has no royal bloodline to sit on the dragon throne?

As for the other three kingdoms, what Xinmen did was equally unacceptable. The current frontline commander of Ye Kingdom is a member of Xinmen, the crown prince of Kaiyuan Kingdom is a member of Xinmen, and the prime minister and minister of war of Chu Kingdom are all members of Xinmen.

This isn't just a statement; there are concrete examples of their collusion with the "heart gate" (a metaphor for a powerful, influential figure).

"Your Majesty!" Lei Tianlun said, "If this secret is released, these four kingdoms will surely be thrown into chaos!"

“Indeed, this will greatly reduce the pressure on our border!” Song Lifu said. “This old minister believes that it should be issued immediately!”

"What does Minister Zhou think?" His Majesty turned his gaze to another person below the stage, Zhou He, a first-rank official.

Zhou He trembled slightly and bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, since ancient times, there have been countless instances of rumors spreading about matters of privacy. If this secret is true, Your Majesty's public announcement would be a brilliant strategy to repel the enemy. However, if this matter is untrue, blindly releasing it would only nail our Great Wilderness Royal Family to the pillar of shame. People throughout the land will surely say that our Great Wilderness Royal Family fabricated the privacy of another country and maliciously framed you, which would damage Your Majesty's reputation and the grandeur of the Great Wilderness Dynasty. Therefore, I believe that a thorough investigation is necessary, and we must not release it blindly."

His words were quite reasonable and logical.

At least, you can't find fault with it from a moral standpoint.

It's not that publishing is prohibited, but rather that caution is advised.

First, we need to find out if it's true before taking any further action.

Blindly releasing false information would truly damage the royal family's reputation. People would say that the Great Wilderness Dynasty was a childish and despicable scoundrel who fabricated the privacy of other countries' emperors and defamed their reputations. Anyone who did such a thing would damage their own reputation, let alone the monarch of a great nation.

Lei Tianlun and Song Lifu exchanged a glance, both seeing something unusual in each other's eyes.

Zhou He has been quite restrained lately.

However, he became increasingly cautious in his actions, and every word he uttered was impeccable. Yet, he always managed to prevent them from accomplishing what they wanted to do.

For example, the matter at hand.

Although what he said made a lot of sense, it was not practical at all.

You want to announce a secret, but he says he needs to verify it. How can you verify that? The emperor's identity—can you just verify it whenever you want? In reality, there's nothing that can be done. He uses it as an excuse not to announce it. That's called a reason that's flawless, but it just prevents you from getting things done…

His Majesty stared at the seemingly docile first-rank physician, his mind filled with all sorts of thoughts.

This doctor was once a high-ranking official under the former crown prince.

His relationship with the former crown prince was extraordinary.

He did not want this high-ranking official to occupy a prominent position in the court for long, especially since he had just executed Song Yuncang's paternal clan.

Zhou He is Song Yuncang's father-in-law.

The death of Zhou He was not affected by the death of his paternal relatives, but Zhou He still harbored resentment towards his son-in-law.

This further strengthened His Majesty's desire to capture him.

However, the imperial court is the imperial court; how easy is it to take down a first-rank official?
Just then, Lin Weiyang spoke up: "Your Majesty, I believe that what Lord Zhou said makes sense. It is indeed inappropriate for the Great Wilderness Court to release this news before it has been verified."

Your Majesty frowned slightly. You also know this is inappropriate?
If it's not right, why the hell are you showing it to me?

However, Lin Weiyang continued, "However, facts are facts. Once the news gets out, there will naturally be various forms of confirmation. I believe that there is no need for our Great Wilderness Dynasty to release this news. We only need to secretly arrange for a few people to post this news in the form of big-character posters throughout the streets and alleys of the four kingdoms' capitals overnight. This will naturally create the trend we want. As for our Great Wilderness royal family, we can just sit back and watch the show. Why should we go looking for trouble and plunge into the quagmire of 'verification'?"

This can be considered a direct counterattack against Zhou He.

The act of "seeking verification" is directly characterized as a "quagmire." (End of Chapter)
