I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

After watching the river flow eastward all night, Wang Jinxuan wasn't just emptying her mind and letting her sadness flow; she was also thinking about how to move forward.

Revenge was inevitable. When that fox left her brother's body, it gave her a mocking and provocative look. In her eyes, it was probably just a farce.

Wang Jinxuan vowed that she would definitely avenge this!

Given her abilities, it would be very difficult for her to rise above others and become powerful enough to avenge her family without relying on others.

And now, the only person she can rely on is Lin Yi...

Therefore, in front of Lin Yi, she chose to be honest about all her experiences and thoughts, without hiding anything.

The most crucial thing is the answer of whether it's strange or not.

Wang Jinxuan admitted that there was an element of gambling involved, but she had no other choice but to gamble.

Under Wang Jinxuan's anxious gaze, Lin Yi finally spoke: "Learn from me well in the future, and you'll have your day of revenge!"

Wang Jinxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Yi hadn't abandoned her; that was wonderful.

"Thank you, Master."

"You've already called me Master, how could I possibly ignore you?"

A teacher for one day, a father for life.

Lin Yi does indeed feel like he's raising a daughter now, but having already raised Xiao Cao, he wouldn't mind having Wang Jinxuan as well.

Besides, they're all grown up now, so I don't need to worry about them too much.

Lin Yi was at a loss for words when his own apprentice was so full of bitterness and resentment.

Is this a kind of unusual fate?

In the distance, Yan Qingqiu, who was secretly observing the scene, also smiled. She had not misjudged Wang Jinxuan. She had successfully stayed by Lin Yi's side and even won Lin Yi's sympathy.

Truly ingenious chess pieces leave no obvious traces of arrangement.

Who could have imagined that Wang Jinxuan, who seemed to be just cannon fodder in the entire Demon Emperor's Secret Realm incident, was actually her most important pawn in another game of chess?

Unfortunately, her plan to seize the Dragon Qi in the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm failed due to the unexpected appearance of Jiang Linglong. Therefore, she needs to speed up her pace in other areas.

After all, she doesn't have much time left.

She has been delaying the seventh great calamity for a long time, hiding her strength and rarely fighting with others. But her time is coming to an end, and she can't stop just because she wants to.

Yan Qingqiu looked at Jiang Linglong with a mixture of fear, hatred, and, most of all, confusion.

Where did this guy come from? I've never heard of him before.

Moreover, the demon-slaying sword she's holding is most likely the genuine article.

A woman of unknown origin who can run around with genuine immortal artifacts is a real headache.

"I hope she won't interfere again next time, otherwise, I'll kill her even if it means I have to undergo my tribulation right now!"

Yan Qingqiu was filled with resentment and angrily turned and left.

There's no need to observe further here.

……

Lin Yi and the others soon boarded the ship returning to port.

The ship was left behind by the royal family; it was very large and spacious, and there were also some royal servants and guards.

Wang Qian went into the water to look for people, but he didn't take everyone with him; he left some people to guard the boat.

These people are now the only survivors.

Everyone who went down with Wang Qian died.

Wang Jinxuan was, after all, the third young lady of the Wang family. Knowing that there were still people here, she came here specifically to find the boat and prepare to dismiss the servants and guards.

After searching around the ship, Wang Jinxuan found a closed cabin.

They broke down the door and went inside; everyone was stunned.

These are the valuables that Wang An carried. After a rough inventory, there were nearly 100,000 taels of gold, hundreds of pieces of jade, dozens of boxes of antiques and paintings, and a number of other treasures. Looking at the wealth on the ship, Lin Yi wanted to exclaim, "Wow!"

Wang An seems to have a reputation for virtue, but I never expected him to be so good at accumulating wealth. The fact that he can accumulate wealth without causing any problems shows that Wang An is indeed a talented person.

Unfortunately, they still went down the wrong path.

"Master, aside from some of these treasures that I intend to use to dismiss those servants and guards, please give the rest as my initiation gift!"

Lin Yi: "..."

Are you sure you want to give this much at once?

He Dong followed them into the ship's warehouse, and his eyes were dazzled by the light.

She had worked so hard for so long and had never saved up so much money before. When she heard Wang Jinxuan say he was going to give it to Lin Yi, she almost nodded in agreement for Lin Yi.

She floated to Lin Yi's side like a ghost, tugged at his clothes, and looked at him expectantly.

"want to?"

He Dong nodded.

"What do you need all this stuff for now?"

Lin Yi was somewhat confused about He Dong. In the past, she was greedy for money because money was the foundation of her cultivation. Now, he was feeding her yang energy every day, wasn't that enough to satisfy her?

This question surprised He Dong as well. She hesitated for a moment before answering, "Maybe it's just a habit!"

That seems to make sense. Even if someone who is always obsessed with making money doesn't need it now, their love of money isn't something they can change in a short time.

Jiang Linglong scoffed at the sight.

"why are you laughing?"

He Dong and Jiang Linglong don't get along at all, so naturally they're arguing now.

Jiang Linglong calmly replied, "It's nothing. I just didn't expect someone to lose their composure over such a small amount of money. I was a little surprised."

Lin Yi: "..."

Although Jiang Linglong's attack was directed at He Dong, he was also caught in the crossfire.

He's never seen so much money before!

Leaving aside jade and precious stones, just considering gold, based on Lin Yi's previous salary, he earned six taels of gold a year. How many years would it take him to earn 100,000 taels?

"Look at you, so powerful! You think you have that much money?"

“My burial goods are more than what's here.”

"Empty talk is useless. I could say my burial goods are a palace!"

"What's wrong with that? I have one too."

He Dong: "..."

Judging from Jiang Linglong's calm tone, it sounds so real.

Did I meet a real rich woman?

When the poor man realized for the first time how vast the gap between the rich and poor was, his mentality suddenly crumbled.

Jiang Linglong felt incredibly satisfied seeing He Dong being bullied.

Is this the female ghost who pretended to be Lin Yi's wife?

Is that all you've got?

You might as well make room for me!

"Alright, whether you are poor or rich, money is just an external thing. I think what you value most is the good character you possess."

Lin Yi interrupted their argument at the right moment, and then said to Wang Jinxuan, "I don't want this money, but I can save it for you. I'll pay you back when you've completed your apprenticeship."

Without further ado, Lin Yi stuffed the entire warehouse of treasure into his cloud bag, which was almost overflowing.

While packing his things, Lin Yi suddenly noticed a small, exquisitely designed box.

He casually opened it, intending to check the contents, but upon opening it, he found only a few strands of hair.

Recalling the scene on the day Wang Jinxuan left, Lin Yi quickly understood what it meant.

He could only sigh. Wang An was heartless and ungrateful for pushing Wang Jinxuan away as cannon fodder, and he even held on to Wang Jinxuan when he was about to die. This was so bad that it was impossible to whitewash it.

However, he left Wang Jinxuan's hair in the cabin where the treasures were kept. Does this mean that he still has some tenderness in his heart?

Lin Yi thought for a moment and decided to hand the brocade box to Wang Jinxuan. Just as he was about to close the lid, Lin Yi suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something underneath.

He touched it, tore off the brocade covering, and saw a human-shaped doll underneath, with Wang Jinxuan's hair wrapped around the doll's head.

"This is a witchcraft doll. Judging from its appearance, it's not intended to harm people; it's more likely for tracking purposes."

Xiao Se appeared beside Lin Yi at some point, saw the thing, and quietly explained it to him.

She also left some unsaid hints.

They could be found wherever they went, and at this point, the mole finally surfaced.

Of course, that doesn't matter anymore.

Lin Yi silently closed the lid, and a ball of flame appeared in his hand, quickly burning the box, hair, and doll together, as if these things had never existed.

While human nature is indeed complex, there are indeed individuals who are completely devoid of humanity.

Lin Yi was somewhat angry at Wang Jinxuan. After trying to calm himself down, he suddenly remembered that Xiao Se also had a troublesome father—

Okay, he's not his biological father either.

Since it was quite troublesome, Lin Yi asked Xiao Se, "What are your plans next?"

Xiao Se looked at Lin Yi and answered very seriously, "Big brother, I want to be the emperor!"

Chapter 253 Senior Brother Encounters a Ghost

Upon hearing Xiao Se's plan, Lin Yi was stunned.

My second brother has such lofty ambitions, that's remarkable!

However, to avoid being tricked by Xiao Se, Lin Yi still confirmed again: "You really want to be the emperor?"
