After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

Xiaxia tightened her grip on Shi Yan's arm. "Sister... what's wrong?"

She knows it.

My sister and I were sent back from Youzhou when we were little.

Xiaxia even has memories of herself and her sister riding their father like a horse.

However... there are very few scenes featuring the mother.

Even fewer and fewer...

"Does Xiaxia know about the Love Sea Demon Sect?" Shi Yan reached into the girl's arms with his left hand and held her hand to comfort her.

aside.

Shiya had already vaguely realized it.

Back then... one of Sister Ru Mu's pipa skills was "Overwhelming Love".

The relationship between Sister Mu and the Demon Sect of Love is quite deep.

This was the first time Shi Yan had told Xia Xia about his background.

It's not Xiaxia's...

Xiaxia was brought back by her father from who-knows-where to be his 'waiting-for-the-year-old daughter-in-law'.

Sometimes Shi Yan really felt that her cheap father might have something wrong with him, otherwise what normal father would say... that his daughter was going to be his daughter-in-law?

Are they afraid their daughter isn't gay?

Do we have to start teaching someone to be gay from a young age?

Thinking about it this way... in Shi Yan's memory, Shi Minmo had indeed been subtly instilling the idea that Xia Xia was his possession since childhood.

What else did he say...?

"You'll thank your dad sooner or later."

"This is a man's... um... a girl's romance!"

Then his mother grabbed his ear and dragged him back inside, and it took him quite a while before he could stagger out of the room.

If I remember correctly... my cheap father had taught Xiaxia some strange rules, like only allowing her older sister to touch her when she grew up, and not letting anyone else ride her.

Tsk—

That old man is a scoundrel.

“Mother…” Shi Yan grasped Xia Xia’s hand, then smiled slightly, “Mother’s name is Wen Rumu.”

Shi Yan raised his head and looked at Qin Suhuai in front of him.

Qin Suhuai sat there in a daze, her mouth unconsciously agape in shock.

"Wait...!?"

"Wait a moment!?"

Xiaxia saw Qin Suhuai's astonished expression and realized what was going on—

The gentle and beautiful woman I remembered seemed to be more complex than I thought.

"Sister Suhuai?" Xiaxia looked at Qin Suhuai.

The older sister raised an eyebrow at Su Huai, clearly wanting Su Huai to tell her something.

goo—

Qin Suhuai swallowed.

“Wen Rumu…” She looked at Shi Yan’s small face, and then recalled the bewitching and captivating aura that Shi Yan had exuded when she used her demonic power a few minutes ago.

"She is... the former Holy Maiden of the Love Sea Demon Sect."

"Back then, the line of suitors for Wen Rumu stretched from Youzhou all the way to Qingzhou."

"But thirty years ago, Wen Rumu suddenly disappeared."

Rumors circulate among the Ten Holy Lands that Wen Rumu eventually married an unknown man. It's said that this man possesses great fortune...

"so...?"

“That’s how it is~” Shi Yan shrugged.

It seems that information is not entirely shared among the ten holy lands.

Like the Star Celestial Bureau.

Xingcai knew that the man Wen Rumu married thirty years ago possessed the aura of a "naturally born holy body".

When it came to Qin Suhuai, she was still stuck on 'rumors'.

certainly--

It's also possible that Qin Suhuai wasn't interested in anything other than swordsmanship.

However, Shi Yan believed that Qin Suhuai would still be very interested in Shi Yan's teachings in the future, and might even... submit to them.

"Mother is the Holy Maiden of the Love Sea Demon Sect!?!" Xia Xia was shocked.

She originally thought that the Shi family looked down on her mother, which was why her father eloped with her mother.

Now it seems... the situation may be completely the opposite.

"so..."

Shi Yan held Xia Xia's hand tightly, weighing the demonic token in his hand again. "Someone is targeting the Love Sea Demonic Sect."

"How could I just stand by and do nothing?"

Shi Yan looked at Qin Suhuai, then at Xia Xia and Shi Ya, "This demonic token is actually not as simple as it seems—"

"This is the 'Return to the Netherworld' order from 'Tongyou Valley'."

"Although... I don't know why I can read the information above." Shi Yan guessed that it was probably related to his magic power value.

What does it mean to have a "999" magic attribute?

He's practically a demon king on earth.

Wen Ruya's magical attribute is only a little over 600 points.

Ran Menghuan, who has committed numerous evil deeds, has a demonic attribute that is even lower than Wen Ruya's, at only a little over 300 points.

The only person around Shi Yan whose demonic attribute can reach "999" is Jun Qianrou, who chose the "One Lifetime Demon Lord" route.

"But I roughly know what they want to do."

"Three more months—"

"Three months from now... the Love Sea Demon Sect will select the next Holy Maiden to succeed Mother."

"Those four demonic sects planned to cause trouble at that time."

"And a very important step in that process... is to infiltrate the Love Sea Demon Sect."

Qin Suhuai suddenly looked up, "Shiyan!??"

She had a vague idea of ​​what Shi Yan wanted to do.

Shi Yan sat there upright, raising her hand. A wisp of demonic energy flickered at the tip of her right finger, like a black candle flame that could devour light.

"They want to participate in the selection tournament of the Love Sea Demon Sect."

"Ran Meng is just one of the many pawns they've placed on the chessboard—"

"I've sealed Ran Menghuan's position, so I'll just give them a pawn in return."

Shi Yan looked at Qin Suhuai and then at Xia Xia. Under the influence of demonic energy, he revealed a seductive smile that made Xia Xia's heart flutter and Qin Suhuai's sword heart tremble.

What chess pieces are there...?

"Could it be compared to an orphan girl abandoned by a former saintess, or a primordial witch blessed with demonic destiny—"

"More suitable."

Qin Suhuai was speechless for a moment.

This is... this is a spy within a spy within a spy.

But... it also seems so natural.

at the same time--

The teacher also had a premonition.

In Youzhou, she will meet another person.

Another woman... whom I haven't seen in a long time—

Gentle and refined.

-

-

-

Now that the decision has been made to go to Youzhou, and the selection conference is in three months.

In addition to the long journey and the arrangements made before and after, there was also the fatigue of travel.

Shi Yan said it was time to prepare to set off.

But before that... Shi Yan still needed to say a tender goodbye to the girls.

With Yunshang around, it's very convenient for Shiyan to even go to Frost Rainbow Valley.

Whether it was Wenren Ermo or Wenren Jiu, Jun Qianrou or the tavern owner, Shi Yan bid them all farewell.

Even Ming Zhongqing... Shi Yan made a special trip to the Ming family.

Ming Zhongqing's attitude towards Shi Yan seemed to have returned to freezing point, and he didn't even leave the mansion to see Shi Yan.

But... Shi Yan looked at the bright 'reflection' behind the Ming family's gate under the sunlight.

She knew that Ming Zhongqing was there.
