Wu Sha—the intermediary between me and Sikong Yan—told me to stay hidden, saying that if I performed well, I might get a chance to retrieve Nannan’s body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Xian gave a self-deprecating smile; even the other party probably didn’t believe that lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing felt a heavy oppression in his chest, making it hard to breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He silently watched Gao Xian, unsure how to comfort him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So the Four Flowers Gathering Top formation plate from Tianji Men—that was your work?” Zhou Qing asked, having calmed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Xian nodded slightly, a faint trace of exhaustion flickering in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, all of Zhou Qing’s confusion finally found its answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, Master, have you ever heard the name Lin Jin?” Zhou Qing suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Xian slowly shook his head and replied, “Why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing said, “Nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Master had never heard that name, perhaps he was just overthinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll wait until next time to see if I can successfully bind it with [Heart-Viewing].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, there’s one last thing I haven’t figured out—I beg you to enlighten me!” Zhou Qing paused, his expression serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Xian said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing took a deep breath and said slowly: “During the Canglan Mountain battle, Cangyan Dao Palace betrayed its ally Tianji Men, further weakening an already frail faction.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yet Xuanji Zi and the others still chose to submit—why? Or rather, what clues have you and the Sect Master uncovered over these years?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Xian looked at Zhou Qing; the sorrow in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by unreserved admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve thought this far—that’s impressive. But we haven’t uncovered the exact reason. Still, we have a theory,” Gao Xian mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing immediately asked, “What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Xian said: “Cangyan Dao Palace seems to hold some secret that Tianji Men possesses—or something that forces Cangyan Dao Palace to compromise on certain matters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing felt even more puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this is why Tianji Men feels so confident?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Cangyan Dao Palace is vastly stronger than Tianji Men—how could Sikong Yan, with his power and methods, allow such a constraint to persist this long?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossible to comprehend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Gao Xian seemed to sense something, his expression shifting as he pulled out his communication token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Sect Master is calling me—Yuan You Immortal Lady has arrived and wishes to discuss something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Xian turned his gaze to Zhou Qing, his eyes revealing a hint of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re the second person, besides the Sect Master, whom I’m willing to confide in wholeheartedly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing felt an indescribable mix of emotions and bowed: “Disciple understands.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Xian nodded and departed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing sighed deeply; everyone’s life is far less carefree than it appears on the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, under Qi Sheng’s guidance, he descended the mountain and returned to Xiao Ling Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wonder if Second Uncle has escaped yet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he had fully mastered the cultivation insights of the three formation masters and the jade slip gifted by Zhang Wanbao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, he felt lost, unsure what to do next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s still the Inscription-level Divine Art!” He suddenly remembered and pulled out the scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he could only sigh helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Second Uncle, even nine out of ten Zhan Ling cultivators have never seen this, let alone cultivated it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d copied it from the No.6 Restricted Zone long ago, but still couldn’t even begin—its content was far too obscure and incomprehensible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it. Better to focus on finding a way to keep the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree alive!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing had just tucked away the scroll when he suddenly frowned and pulled out the Shenyu Tian Gong token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The token emitted strange ripples, spreading outward in concentric waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a never-before-seen purple dot appeared, flickering faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing froze, then immediately understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This means a new member has arrived?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, the next moment, the No.4 Green Ball, No.5 Blue Ball, and No.6 Cyan Ball all appeared simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When I first entered Shenyu Tian Gong, it must’ve looked like this,” Zhou Qing murmured, inexplicably feeling a surge of excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly replenished spirit stones and plunged his spiritual sense inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he opened his eyes again, he stood in a dark space, the massive vortex still slowly rotating before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around the vortex floated four frozen, massive screens—no fifth one had yet formed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing looked closely: beside the No.6 Cyan Ball, a purple ball had appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the purple ball, an ancient character “ Qi ” glowed faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Welcome! Warmest welcome!” The No.4 Green Ball shouted first, sounding overly enthusiastic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shenyu Tian Gong has nine tokens total; five have now been gathered—only one more is needed to unlock the second layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If all nine are collected, a physical gathering can be held, unlocking the third layer of Shenyu Tian Gong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The true major opportunity lies hidden within the third layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahem, I’m Gongsun Liu. May I ask your name and whereabouts?” The Green Ball asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing was speechless; this guy was just like he’d been when he first entered—eager to extract information, even using the exact same phrasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The No.5 Blue Ball, No.6 Cyan Ball, and even Zhou Qing’s own No.1 Red Ball remained silent, watching the purple ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple ball seemed to survey the surroundings, then fixed its gaze on the No.4 Green Ball and said coldly: “Fuck off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The genderless voice caused everyone to freeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the No.5 Blue Ball burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing nearly laughed too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would’ve thought the No.7 Purple Ball was so blunt and unceremonious?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serves him right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The No.4 Green Ball was clearly stunned, then flushed with rage: “What kind of attitude is that? I welcomed you with good intentions, you—you—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Want to know my name? Fine—if you can answer my question, I’ll tell you,” the purple ball said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though furious, the Green Ball gritted his teeth: “Fine, spit it out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing and the others grew curious but stayed silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The No.7 Purple Ball said: “Once, a little white rabbit got lost in the forest. Soon, it met a little black rabbit and asked how to get out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The black rabbit said, ‘Let me have my fun, and I’ll tell you.’ The white rabbit agreed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But the white rabbit got lost again and asked a little gray rabbit, who said, ‘Let me have my fun, and I’ll tell you.’ The white rabbit agreed again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eventually, the white rabbit escaped the forest—and became pregnant, giving birth to a baby rabbit. What color is the baby rabbit?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone fell into thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spotted?” The Green Ball blurted out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple ball shook its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“White?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Black?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gray?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the purple ball still shake its head, the Green Ball felt mocked and was about to protest—when the No.7 suddenly spoke: “Do you want to know the color?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Green Ball clenched his teeth: “Yes. Tell me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me have my fun, and I’ll tell you,” the No.7 said lazily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire space fell into silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing burst into laughter first, followed by the No.5 and No.6.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green sphere, upon regaining its composure, felt a chill run down its spine and trembled with rage, its face turning ashen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’ve got the guts, give me your address!” the green sphere roared in fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In all these years, it had never suffered such humiliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the seventh sphere paid no mind, replying calmly: “I’ve got no guts—why don’t you come over right now and try to hurt me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the green sphere, powerless and humiliated, Zhou Qing felt an unexpected surge of satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, this new seventh sphere seems to be a hyper-reactive type—light a match and it explodes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better keep my distance from him in the future; if he snaps back at me, I’ll just go home and sulk alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Welcome, Seventh!” Unexpectedly, the sixth sphere, blue, spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came the fifth sphere, green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment’s hesitation, Zhou Qing said, “Welcome.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the seventh sphere, having just berated the fourth, suddenly seemed to transform—turning to face the three, its tone softened, sincere: “Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene once again enraged the green sphere, but it could only glare helplessly from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a wisp of airflow suddenly emerged from the massive vortex and settled upon the seventh sphere, purple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As spiritual energy wove through the air, this space finally unveiled its fifth image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The image burst forth with a crimson sky, countless twisted, tumor-like clouds hanging low and writhing, as if about to drip pus and blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground was not soil, but layered with countless pale arms, each finger twitching and scratching like living things, emitting a grating “click-click” of bone against bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At its core stood a towering bronze tower, its surface covered in bulging, vein-like patterns, crowned by a massive eyeball—grotesque beyond words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All who saw this felt a primal dread crawl up their spines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this the terrifying forbidden zone the seventh sphere, purple, had encountered?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder he’s so volatile and twisted—he must’ve been affected by it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? This image—” The seventh sphere visibly froze, surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, as if spotting something fascinating, his gaze sharpened toward the cover of Zhou Qing’s image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhou Qing’s eyes narrowed instantly, alarm bells ringing in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fifth sphere, noticing this, felt a sudden insight and asked: “What? Have you seen the forbidden zone image of Number One?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forbidden zone image?” The seventh sphere turned his gaze to Zhou Qing, staring at the 【 Yi 】 on the cover, then smirked, lips curling into a cryptic smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you’re a fellow townsman!” the seventh sphere chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing’s heart clenched, pounding violently, his eyes locked on the other with intense suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he seen the scenery inside Taiqingmen’s Sky Cave?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could that be? No ordinary person could enter that place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Supreme Elders?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Masters of the Thirteen Peaks?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, countless theories flooded his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that the seventh and the first were fellow townspeople, the other three spheres immediately grew curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were about to ask, but the seventh sphere turned his gaze instead to the forbidden zone images of the other three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fascinating. Looks like we’re all fellow townspeople—I’ve been to this place!” the seventh sphere said lazily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other three frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you’re lying?” the fourth sphere scoffed, dripping with contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To their surprise, the seventh sphere nodded. “Yes. Ancient texts say entering here requires making yourself mysterious. Didn’t you all feel a jolt just now? Didn’t you get startled?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Madman!” the fourth sphere cursed and immediately withdrew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d already seen the forbidden zones he needed to see; he hadn’t touched any of them, and he’d already offended this guy—staying would only bring him more trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhou Qing’s expression grew heavier than ever. Others might think the seventh sphere was joking, but Zhou Qing had a strong feeling: this man might truly be from Lingyun Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, a strange sense of danger rose in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Divine Ruin Tiangong concealed grave secrets of a Level Seven cultivation nation. If outsiders learned of it—and especially if they narrowed their suspicion to him—not only Lingyun Mansion, but the entire Shengwu Empire might face annihilation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since he recognized the forbidden zone Zhou Qing had seen, yet Zhou Qing had never seen his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who exactly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to introduce yourselves—I’ll go in and test it now. We’ll chat another day!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the seventh sphere stepped eagerly into the simulation, his image turning solid purple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire space now held only three floating spheres in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This guy’s hostile and mentally unstable. Watch yourselves from now on!” The fifth sphere, green, said, then withdrew as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing’s heart leapt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just recently, he’d spoken with Senior Brother Gao Xuan about a man with a damaged mind—one who was also his fellow townsman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that’s impossible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man seemed to know every detail of the Divine Ruin Tiangong, unlike Zhou Qing himself, who’d needed the sixth sphere to explain everything when he first entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he recognized the forbidden zone Zhou Qing had seen, he should’ve hidden it quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, if Zhou Qing ever got exposed over the Divine Ruin Tiangong, wouldn’t that drag him in too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Number One!” As Zhou Qing pondered, the sixth sphere spoke softly, “Please come in for a chat!” She gestured toward her own forbidden zone image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing nodded and stepped inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the crooked jujube tree, Zhou Qing stared at the ground littered with paper money and the distant, shadowy black ancient ship, then turned to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First, congratulations—you’ve ended your seclusion and clearly gained much!” Zhou Qing smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the sixth sphere didn’t respond immediately. She stood still, her hazy form leaning slightly forward, as if scrutinizing Zhou Qing closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong?” Zhou Qing felt uneasy under her gaze and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… do you know me? And know me well?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why ask that?” Zhou Qing forced calmness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sixth sphere stepped closer: “Last time you left, you specifically asked if I liked lotus seed cake, steamed sponge cake with honey, glutinous rice balls in wine lees, and mung bean cake.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing’s face flushed awkwardly. “I just asked out of sudden curiosity…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I love eating those!” the sixth sphere cut him off sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way—could Lu Shimei really read minds?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You know my tastes so well—you must be someone close to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And last time, you gave me the long-lost Four-Color Array: the Taiyin Soul Refining Array—to trap that corpse cloth. Clearly, you knew I’m a Level Four Array Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And you advised me to have someone refine the Bingli Lingque Herb into Bingli Shengling Pills—useful for the Severing Spirit Realm. So you knew I’m already in the Severing Spirit Realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, the sixth sphere drew nearer, her hazy form radiating an invisible pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing smiled awkwardly and stepped back instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So—who are you? This matters to me!” The sixth sphere’s gaze locked onto Zhou Qing, pressing again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing took a deep breath. “I truly don’t know you. This is all coincidence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t believe it. You saw Seventh just now—he’s erratic, dangerous. If he’s truly your townsman, what if—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sixth sphere trailed off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing sighed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s afraid he’ll find me, then, because I know her, he’ll find her too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How far ahead she thinks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, I’m the one with the biggest headache right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve helped me greatly—I’m truly grateful. Since you already know me, perhaps we should meet, even ally to counter Seventh’s probing, what do you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sixth sphere proposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing chuckled dryly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve only just reached Soul Transformation. Back at Canglan Mountain, even Xuan Yuan Shuo, who was already mid-Severing Spirit Realm, couldn’t outmatch you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can sense hidden legacies deep in the abyss with your immense spiritual sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with those Bingli Shengling Pills, you might even leap two realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, you’re either late Severing Spirit or full completion—and as a Level Four Array Master from a Level Five cultivation nation, why would I possibly meet you? I’d be asking for death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the hazy sixth sphere before him, Zhou Qing suddenly felt playful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to meet,” Zhou Qing’s lips curled slightly, a glint of mischief in his eyes. “But I do have one question.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the sixth sphere’s glowing outline dimmed instantly, her voice soft with disappointment: “Please ask.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing paused slightly, then spoke slowly: “Many years ago, who was the person who visited Simu Jiuyao with you? Back then, you’d just condensed eight thousand spiritual seals.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, Zhou Qing clearly saw the sixth sphere’s hazy form tremble violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared at him with eyes full of disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time froze. The entire space fell into absolute silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long silence, No. 6 finally spoke slowly, her voice trembling with shock: “You really know me...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing was about to say something, but she suddenly laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When the true becomes false, the false becomes true—I think I know who you are. After all, few know about your visit to Master Situ. I suppose we’ll meet soon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No. 6 finished speaking, her figure instantly turning ethereal, then retreating away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing, who had been within her domain, was likewise repelled by an invisible force, and he stared blankly at the space before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could she be going to see that man who admires her?” Zhou Qing muttered to himself, a bitter smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head, then turned his gaze back to the purple light screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you, really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Zhou Qing withdrew, he repeatedly pondered every word No. 7 had said, searching for any clue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps there’s another way!” Soon, Zhou Qing’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His talent skill [Heart Mirror Vision] had also risen to Level Five, granting him six additional slots compared to before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I can bind Kong Yan, maybe I’ll see something,” Zhou Qing murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t know whether the notes would display normally after entering the Divine Ruins Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having made up his mind, Zhou Qing was about to set out and investigate Kong Yan’s movements when Cao Zhengyang arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you guess why Lady Xuanyou and the others came?” Cao Zhengyang asked with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing shook his head—he had no interest in anything else right now; his top priority was eliminating all possible candidates linked to No. 7.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Zhengyang seemed not to notice Zhou Qing’s distraction, still speaking enthusiastically: “Marriage alliance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Marriage alliance? With whom?” Zhou Qing’s eyes widened instantly; his scattered attention snapped back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",3227,"2026-06-19T20:13:54.632Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2b8d4cd0b9db494fc43fc11b66d0992061780b0ba723d15322255c6965e88e50","my-master-s-elder-brother-just-took-on-a-female--chapter-235","my-master-s-elder-brother-just-took-on-a-female--chapter-233",302,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-master-s-elder-brother-just-took-on-a-female--cover.jpg"]
