Chapter 336: Can You Even Save Them All?

"Gu Yutong, no, is Heroine Gu truly at such a realm?"

"That's right, I reckon she should be coming out of seclusion soon!"

"This..."

Such news left Su Ningxue speechless for a moment; didn't her master say that South Willow North Gu were merely juniors? How could one be a top-tier expert of the True Soul Realm?

An ordinary heroine is different from a True Soul Realm bigwig, and furthermore, Shen Yu even said the other party might still break through; if that were the case, wouldn't even her master be no match for her?

You dare to snatch my man? Believe it or not, she could carry her sword and hunt them down to their mountain gate, then charge in and out three times, with no one able to stop her!

At the mere thought of that scene, Su Ningxue felt a headache; she couldn't afford to provoke her!

But there isn't a second person in the entire pugilistic world like Shen Yu; compared to him, everyone else is truly eclipsed.

Even if their realm is barely passable, the youngest would be seventy or eighty years old. Should she really go and marry those old men? Refining the heart might be a true refinement, but she really couldn't bring herself to do it!

She is a heaven-sent talent, having reached her current realm before the age of twenty, enough to look down upon everyone in the world.

She even received the inheritance of her founder, learning a secret technique that no one in her sect had mastered for hundreds of years, and her cultivation has progressed by leaps and bounds ever since.

Now that her realm has reached a certain level, if they were to truly fight, there would be almost no one among her sect's elders who could be her match.

It is a pity that once this secret technique reaches a certain level, it is difficult to advance any further; one needs to experience the mortal world to refine the heart. Only in this way can one reach a higher level, and after that, the path is smooth with no more obstacles!

That is why she came down the mountain wanting to marry and have children, and her first choice was naturally a legendary figure like Shen Yu, who is just like Mu Zishan.

But now, not only is he unwilling, but facing Gu Yutong, whose strength and realm exceed her own, she herself is a bit afraid.

Is she really going to commit herself to an old man, or marry an ordinary person? Such an outcome is truly frustrating!

But she can no longer advance, and with the Spiritual Qi Surge already upon them, it simply won't give her too much time.

The world is already showing signs of chaos; once it truly becomes chaotic, it will be impossible to experience the mortal world.

Her master said those old monsters kill everyone they see, leaving no blade of grass behind wherever they pass. She must complete her training as quickly as possible and return before the mountain gate is sealed.

Otherwise, once the mountain gate is sealed and hidden within space, she would never be able to find it on her own.

Her sect would never leave any information for her, because once that information was obtained by those old monsters, the entire sect would be slaughtered.

"Miss Su, how did your master teach you? Rolling through the mortal world isn't something you can just experience by finding anyone to marry."

Seeing the other party struggling with something, Shen Yu kindly offered a reminder.

Shen Yu could also see that this young woman in front of him had clearly lived in a mountain gate for many years and knew nothing or only had a half-baked understanding of things outside.

If you don't know, doesn't your master know? Finding any random man to marry in the mortal world and then having children is just finishing the job; that's like playing house, what kind of training is that!

If that were effective, the world would have been full of experts long ago.

Refining the heart in the mortal world—if you don't move your heart, how can you train? Just going through the motions mechanically, besides becoming a mother by chance, what else can you gain?

"Miss Su, since it is refining the heart in the mortal world, you need to move your heart and feel emotions, right? Let me ask you a question: you want to marry me, but do you like me?"

"I like you. Who wouldn't like a young talent like you? Even my master said that if she were sixty years younger, she would definitely come looking for you too!"

"Your master is right, but this 'like' is not that kind of 'like'!"

After thinking for a moment, Shen Yu then explained, "Miss Su, let me ask it another way: can you die for me?"

"This..." This question made Su Ningxue hesitate. Do we even know each other? You want me to die for you; have you no sense of reality?

But she couldn't beat Shen Yu, so should she make up a lie to trick him?

"You are unwilling, aren't you!"

Looking at her conflicted expression, Shen Yu said with a smile, "You need to find someone for whom you are willing to die, someone who can make your face flush and your heart race, someone for whom you would give everything. That kind of person is your choice."

"If there is someone among your fellow disciples who can move your heart, you could also choose them; it doesn't necessarily have to be someone from outside. Didn't your master tell you this? Your master isn't married, is she!"

"This, my sect's Cultivation Method is special; everyone in the sect, including teachers and fellow disciples, remains solitary. Only my Cultivation Method is different from theirs; after reaching a certain realm, I need to refine my heart in the mortal world, so..."

"Impressive!" So it's a sect that forbids having feelings, a bunch of bachelors hanging out together; it sounds miserable.

But the Cultivation Method of the person in front of him requires one to move their heart once it reaches a certain level. Having a bunch of bachelors teach others how to move their heart and how to find a man—is it really that bizarre?

"Forget it, walk around this world a bit more, and perhaps you will find your true love. Of course, a friendly reminder: it's best to make this face of yours look a bit more ordinary."

"Otherwise, what you get won't be true love, but hypocrisy; most people will just be lusting after your body!"

Hearing Shen Yu's words, Su Ningxue didn't respond; this was also different from what her master had told her.

Her master said that with this face of hers, she would definitely be invincible, and she should just finish her training quickly and come back. Relying on her face, even if she made a mistake, everyone would be a bit more lenient with her, and everything could be settled quickly!

So who should she listen to now?

"Alright, I won't say anything more; how you choose is up to you, Miss."

"Can you tell me, Miss, who are the people creating the Poison Person, and where are their Poison Persons hidden?"

"This..." At this moment, Su Ningxue hesitated again; this was the condition she was supposed to use to trade with Shen Yu, and it was her only bargaining chip.

Her master told her that Magistrate Shen Yu hates evil as much as he hates a personal enemy, and as long as she brought this information to him, combined with her proud appearance, she believed he would definitely not refuse.

As for today's events, she had actually been here for a long time and was even clearer about the impact after the Poison Person outbreak. Therefore, Shen Yu would definitely come after learning the news, and she only needed to wait.

But before the Poison Person's poison even broke out, Shen Yu had already arrived. However, the problem now is that not only did he reject her idea of committing herself to him, but he also wants to get her information for free.

She can't beat him, so what can she do?

"Miss Su, I must remind you of something. If you withhold information, and the poison from the Poison Persons in various places breaks out and harms others, then you are an accomplice."

A faint killing intent permeated the surroundings, and Shen Yu's expression also turned cold. "I have never been soft on accomplices. Have you and the sect behind you prepared to face my wrath?"

"Absolutely not, Magistrate Shen, we are not accomplices!"

"Since you are not, then tell me everything you know!" He smiled lightly; it seemed his feeling was correct, this was just a young girl who had not yet seen much of the world.

Under his Super Perception, every detail of the other party fell into his eyes.

He could feel that she was not lying; of course, it could not be ruled out that her memory had been tampered with, so she might not even realize she was lying.

It was just that he couldn't penetrate her spirit or pry into her memories, so he couldn't judge for the moment. But he was probably overthinking it; how could there be so many bad people in this world?

"This, then, if I tell you, Magistrate Shen, can you agree to my request?"

"Hmm? Are you negotiating with me? Didn't I make it clear enough just now? Accomplices are as guilty as the perpetrators, and will be killed without exception!"

"Think it over clearly; I am not trying to scare you!"
