A reincarnated girl, who begins by possessing a cultivator.

This is Su Chun's strategy of retreating to advance.

She bet that Qu Xinyao had feelings for her eldest apprentice, and if she did, then the other party would not do such a thing.

Chapter 4 Being targeted

The fact that Su Chun even brought up the idea of ​​soul searching is a way of showing Qu Xinyao his attitude.

This put Qu Xinyao in a dilemma.

If she doesn't want to believe Su Chun, then nothing Su Chun says will make a difference.

On the way to the Xuan Yue Sect, Su Chun had been anticipating possible situations, including Qu Xinyao's distrust.

Cultivators in the cultivation world are all very shrewd; there are hardly any fools among them.

Qu Xinyao looked at Su Chun, whose face was full of grievances, hesitated for a long time, and then slowly withdrew her nascent soul pressure and divine sense.

"Hey! Yuqin, don't blame your master for being cautious. Your master has no choice. I hope you can understand. Come in and tell your master what exactly happened back then."

Qu Xinyao's originally serious and sharp gaze quickly softened.

Although she seemed much gentler, her divine sense was still observing Su Chun's subtle reactions.

Although Su Chun's subtle facial expressions had some minor issues, they were still within the normal range. After all, when someone possesses another person's body with a remnant soul, they will definitely be affected by that person's personality.

Su Chun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she did not completely let her guard down. She went into Qu Xinyao's residence and began to recount everything that Ding Yuqin had experienced back then.

Why didn't Qu Xinyao wait for Su Chun to explain what happened before questioning her?

That's because she didn't want her judgment to be affected by Su Chun's words beforehand.

After the earlier probing, and considering what Su Chun said, Qu Xinyao had a general idea of ​​the outcome.

That means regardless of whether the girl in front of him is his apprentice Ding Yuqin or not, Ding Yuqin has most likely disappeared from this world.

Even if the person in front of him wasn't his disciple, he had already absorbed everything about his disciple.

When one person possesses all of another person's memories, then in a sense, that person is also a continuation of the previous person's life.

For Qu Xinyao, a living disciple is always better than a dead one.

The two sides talked for half an hour.

“Yuqin, although you were once the Grand Elder of the Xuan Yue Sect, you also know that in the cultivation world, strength is the ultimate authority. Now that your cultivation has fallen to the Qi Refining Realm, I cannot forcibly send you back to the position of elder. That would be unfair to the other elders and disciples of the sect.”

"So I think you should return to the Xuan Yue Sect under the identity of Su Chun."

Su Chun was slightly taken aback when she heard this, because she felt that this was not like her master's personality.

But upon closer reflection, it might be because she doesn't fully trust herself yet, so she wants to keep her away from the center of power.

But that's enough. She didn't come to the Xuan Yue Sect to become the former Grand Elder again; that would only make it easier to expose her identity.

"One should do what one is capable of. I understand this principle. I am willing to give up everything I have before and start over."

Su Chun went along with it, which would also reduce Qu Xinyao's suspicions.

"That's good. Let your junior sister arrange your new identity. I trust she will handle it properly."

Thus, Su Chun returned to the Xuan Yue Sect using Ding Yuqin's identity.

With Ding Yuqin's identity, even if she becomes an ordinary disciple, no one in the Xuan Yue Sect should dare to provoke her.

After all, her master was a mid-stage Nascent Soul ancestor, and her junior sister was the current ruler of the Xuan Yue Sect. It was good to have a powerful patron.

A moment later, Qu Xinyao called Yue Ningxuan over and explained her intentions to her.

After hearing this, Yue Ningxuan looked slightly helpless, but still left with Su Chun.

"Senior sister, don't blame Master. Master has his own difficulties. With your current cultivation level, you can only be a disciple. But don't worry, with me here, no one will dare to cause you trouble because of your current level."

Su Chun sighed heavily.

"Oh! It's not a pleasant feeling to fall from the sky to the ground, junior sister. My future depends on you."

Yue Ningxuan smiled and led Su Chun to the steward in charge of disciple allocation and management at Xuan Yue Sect.

"Elder, Elder, why are you here?"

A female cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage was startled when she saw Yue Ningxuan.

After Ding Yuqin disappeared, Yue Ningxuan became the Grand Elder, and she has now reached the peak of the Core Formation stage.

"I've brought a descendant of an old friend of mine to join the sect. Please make arrangements for her. Her name is Su Chun, and she will be a disciple of our Xuan Yue Sect from today onwards. Please find her a quiet place where she will not be disturbed."

Yue Ningxuan's failure to reveal Su Chun's true identity was actually a form of protection for Su Chun.

What Su Chun needs most right now is a safe and undisturbed environment.

"Oh, I understand. I will definitely arrange a very good place for her."

The female cultivator instantly understood Yue Ningxuan's meaning.

Yue Ningxuan immediately greeted Su Chun, then leaped up and left.

After she left, the female cultivator finally abandoned her humble attitude and looked Su Chun over again.

"A pseudo-spiritual root with five attributes—if it weren't for the connection with the Grand Elder, you probably wouldn't be able to join our Xuan Yue Sect. Little girl, come with me. I'll take you to the Xuan Yue Sect's herb garden. You can look after the herb garden from now on; it's quiet there and there's not much to do."

Upon hearing the suggestion of visiting the herb garden, Su Chun smiled, thinking to herself that she had a deep connection with herbs, and she was very satisfied with this place.

The Xuan Yue Sect hasn't changed much from a hundred years ago. With Ding Yuqin's memories, Su Chun knows this place very well.

The herb garden is one of the forbidden areas of the Xuan Yue Sect. Usually, not many people come here. Only the disciples of the Alchemy Pavilion come here regularly to collect herbs. Su Chun only needs to register them.

But this herb garden used to be guarded.

The other party was definitely unhappy about Su Chun's arrival, but upon hearing that she was an old friend of the Grand Elder, they didn't dare to say anything more and could only obediently pack their things and make room.

After settling Su Chun in, the female deacon left without explaining the rules of the place to her.

"Strange, they dumped me here without even explaining the rules. Does Yue Ningxuan also suspect me?"

Su Chun was right.

After leaving the herb garden, the female deacon came to Yue Ningxuan's side.

"Elder, Su Chun has been settled. Is there anything else you need?"

Yue Ningxuan looked in Su Chun's direction with a complicated expression.

"That's all. Just keep an eye on her from the shadows."

After saying that, Yue Ningxuan left and went directly to Qu Xinyao's place.

However, Yue Ningxuan and Qu Xinyao did not expect that as soon as they settled Su Chun in the herb garden, an uninvited guest came to find her.

Su Chun was currently in the attic at the entrance of the herb garden, checking out the environment of her residence.

She was quite satisfied with everything here.

"Yuqin, I never expected you to still be alive."

A melodious and charming female voice suddenly rang out behind Su Chun.

Su Chun's heart tightened, and she quickly turned around to look at the person who had come.

Upon looking behind her, she discovered a woman in white who appeared somewhat delicate and charming standing there.

The woman exuded a bewitching and alluring aura, especially her snow-white body, which was faintly visible beneath her moon-white dress, making her particularly eye-catching.

The other person was looking at her with a smile.

"Uncle-Master Xiao?"

The one whom Su Chun could call his senior uncle was naturally another Nascent Soul stage elder of the Xuan Yue Sect.

The visitor's name was Xiao Mei.

"Hehe, I really didn't expect that you could survive by possessing a body. This is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune."

Su Chun didn't think the other person had come just to greet her; they must have had other motives.

So she looked calm on the outside, but inside she was incredibly nervous.

"Yes, it was truly a near-death experience. Uncle-Master, what brings you here all of a sudden?"

Xiao Mei gives off the vibe of a seductive vixen who loves to seduce men; her pure white dress can't hide her alluring charm.

"Nothing much, just came to see you and wanted to ask if you still have the Yin-Yang Harmony Ring that your master gave you back then?"

Upon hearing this, Su Chun's expression changed, and her heart skipped a beat.

She almost forgot that she was currently a Qi Refining cultivator. It was not a good thing for a low-level cultivator to possess such a powerful treasure.

But she hadn't thought of this at first because she had her own master, and the other members of the Xuan Yue Sect shouldn't dare to provoke her.

Now that Xiao Mei has suddenly arrived, it means that there may be some changes in the sect that he is unaware of.

"Huh? This?"

Su Chun didn't know how to respond to Xiao Mei.

But Xiao Mei didn't care what Su Chun was thinking and continued talking to herself.

"Yuqin, although you have been resurrected through possession, your cultivation has dropped to the Qi Refining Realm, making it impossible for you to use the Yin-Yang Qi Harmony Ring. Keeping it on you will only attract unwanted attention. Why not give it to your uncle for safekeeping, and return it to you when you return to the Core Formation Realm in the future?"

Su Chun's first reaction was definitely disbelief.

He thought to himself, "I don't believe you for a second. Once it's in your hands, there's no way I'll get it back."

But Su Chun also understood that if Xiao Mei could think of the Nascent Soul level magic treasure on her body, why couldn't others?

Chapter 5 A Powerful Man Arrives

Su Chun's mind raced; she now had several options.

First, tell Xiao Mei that the Yin-Yang Harmony Ring is lost.

However, this explanation is hard for others to believe, and it will also keep Xiao Mei watching her closely. Although the other party probably wouldn't dare to do anything to her openly, being watched by a Nascent Soul cultivator would probably keep her up at night.

Second, tell Xiao Mei that she returned the Yin-Yang Harmony Ring to her master, Qu Xinyao.

In that case, Xiao Mei had no choice.
