Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

Wei Qi calmed his turbulent emotions.

[His stiff face softened into a genuine smile: "Mr. Wen, I am about to embark on my campaign. I have heard that you intend to travel the world, and I will be unable to see you off."]

You chuckled and shook your head: "Between brothers like us, there's no need for formalities."

【"brother……"】

Upon hearing this, Wei Qi murmured in a daze.

Then he burst into hearty laughter.

"Haha, yeah, bro."

Wei Qi is gone.

The figure in dark red armor disappeared into the snowstorm.

[He commanded the Imperial Guards to march north.]

Even from the distant imperial gardens, you can feel the tremors of the military might.

[Xu Kun, the black cat, is perched on the roof.]

I watched them go from afar.

The inner demons, a collection of worldly emotions and distractions, have all lost their interest in speeding through the White Deer.

[Thinking back to the bustling scene in Yongzhou back then.]

The brothers are now scattered across various places.

Thankfully, I still have you as my older brother, always by my side.

[If only it could be brought back to the time when it was imprisoned in the Tomb of the God of War.]

[This may be the most painful torment.]

Having never possessed something, one will not fear losing it.

[Those who have experienced it firsthand will undoubtedly defend it to the death.]

The black cat, usually so comical and unreliable, was unusually resolute at this moment.

[Looking down at you, pen in hand, at your desk.]

This bond, it will be protected at all costs.

[Before your desk, you spread out the Xuan paper, pick up your brush, and begin to write.]

"Senior sister, it's like seeing you in person..."

[After you put pen to paper and finished writing the contents of the letter.]

Place the items on the table.

[The foundation upon which the innate divine and demonic body is composed of azure cubic jade.]

[A white jade longsword imbued with sword-like charm and destiny.]

[The waters of the underworld.]

[The core of the world's end.]

[Then, the items were packed together with the letter and sent using the Holy Sect's Deputy Sect Master's token.]

[Send this to my dear senior sister, Yu Ji.]

[You were still weighing your options before, whether or not to hand these things over to your senior sister.]

After all, these were all the answers she gave when she was questioned.

Could this be part of Yu Ji's scheme?

Did you obtain these things through your own hands?

But whether that's true or not is no longer important.

[Because in the realm of forbidden research, no one is more skilled than my senior sister.]

Entrusting these tasks to her will allow her to better realize their value.

As for whether you were truly deceived, your good senior sister has let you down.

That's alright, I'll make her pay back double next time.

Moreover, even at a minimum, we can deduce how these items are used based on Yu Ji's research findings.

Next time, you won't need to use someone else's connections.

[Besides, you're also worried that your senior sister doesn't have much time left.]

According to Shang Qingdai's account, this happened not long after Chen Chao launched his rebellion.

Yu Ji then entrusted the sect to Gong Si.

Then it disappeared.

[They may pay a price for forbidden research, or they may obtain what they desire, continue their pursuit, and detach themselves from the human world.]

[Regardless of the circumstances.]

Now is the time to seize the last bit of her potential and make the most of her expertise.

"Don't let your junior brother down..."

You sighed softly, watching as the token tore through space, teleporting the letters and items away.

The tone of the expression was still gentle and lingering.

The token responded immediately.

The space was torn open once more by mysterious talismans, revealing surging darkness behind it.

A primal sense of crisis sends chills down your spine.

The threat of death drives you to want to escape immediately.

【Humph! 】

A rational, cool hum rang out.

[Suppress the distorted, indescribable darkness.]

Then an item was teleported over.

[Ding-dong.]

The item fell onto the table with a crisp sound.

The spatial passage was instantly severed, and the token revealed a desolate, lifeless state.

Before it even hit the ground, it turned to dust and disintegrated in mid-air.

[Gurgle.]

You swallowed hard.

Goodness!

Is my senior sister playing with fire?

That indescribable eeriness can probably only be countered by your own "ominous signs of old age" in your twilight years.

[While you are still shaken.]

I couldn't help but be curious.

What exactly has my dear senior sister researched and discovered?

[I originally thought Chen Chaomang was the result of her research.]

In retrospect, Chen Chaomang may simply be a positive application of my senior's research findings.

[This is an aid left behind for the Holy Sect.]

Her true research lies hidden behind that forbidden door.

[You calmed the dizziness and nausea in your heart.]

[Looking at the items that had fallen onto the table.]

[It was my dear senior sister who went to great lengths to teleport me here.]

【"lens?"】

This is something you're familiar with.

These are the lenses of the rimless glasses that Yu Ji usually wears.

[This adds a touch of aloofness to his scholarly demeanor.]

Did my senior sister notice my gaze back then?

You used self-deprecating humor to alleviate your earlier shock.

[Pick up the lens.]

[Clear and pure, yet now riddled with cracks.]

[It ruined the perfect texture.]

[Does this lens have any special meaning?]

[You moved your fingertips, testing with your spiritual power, but didn't trigger anything unusual.]

[It's like a simple, luxurious crystal sculpture.]

[Without further investigation, I put the lens into my pocket.]

Since my dear senior sister has responded, it seems she won't abscond with the money.

However, you are somewhat worried about her current situation.

[To find oneself in such a bizarre situation.]

This is undoubtedly a reckless flirtation with danger.

One wrong step, and you'll be doomed.

But considering my senior's character, she might pay any price for her research.

[It was all her own choice, wasn't it?]

[You sighed softly.]

Then, looking up, she saw the black cat standing frozen in place at the threshold.

You crumple a piece of Xuan paper into a ball and throw it over.

"What's wrong?"

The black cat's eerie green eyes darted around, revealing a thoughtful expression.

"Meow~ Big brother... I just sensed a familiar presence, which stirred up missing memories."

"A familiar scent? Memories?"

You were surprised.

Could it be that the environment my senior sister was in was related to her inner demons?

You did not disturb Xu Kun (the black cat).

Hopefully, it can recall its missing memories.

After all, this young man is a long-standing figure.

[Anything you can recall is important intelligence to you.]

[After a moment, the black cat shook its head.]

The claws scratched its face in frustration.

[Spread out both claws.]

"I can't remember."

Then it grinned and muttered, "My memories were definitely killed by that 'Military Genius' guy."

You were not disappointed upon hearing this.

[He silently memorized it, sensing a familiar aura emanating from where his beloved senior sister was.]

It's a pity that my dear senior sister isn't someone I can communicate with normally anymore.

Otherwise, you could ask her.

Now, even the contact tokens have turned to dust.

Not long after Wei Qi left.

You immediately received Wei Zhi's message.

What a petty woman.

Only after seeing Wei Qi off did he dare to fulfill his promise of cooperation.
