Chapter 670: I'm Not Trying to Scare You

"Gu Yutong, no, does Heroine Gu truly possess such a realm?"

"Yes, I estimate she should be coming out of seclusion soon!"

"This..."

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

An ordinary heroine and a True Soul Realm bigwig are not the same thing, let alone the fact that Shen Yu also said the other party might still break through; in that case, wouldn't even Master be no match for her?

You dare to snatch my man? Believe it or not, she could carry a sword and chase them all the way to their mountain gate, then go 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 have to be seventy or eighty years old; does she really have to go and marry those old men? The "refining the heart" might be genuine, but she truly couldn't bring herself to do it!

She is a heaven-sent talent, possessing her current realm at less than twenty years of age, enough to look down upon everyone in the world.

She even received the inheritance of the founder and mastered a secret technique that no one in the sect has been able to cultivate 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, even among the elders of her sect, there are almost none who could be her match.

It is a pity that once this secret technique reaches a certain level, it is difficult to advance even an inch further; it requires experiencing the mortal world to refine the heart. Only then can one reach a higher level, and after that, it will be a smooth path with no more obstacles!

That is why she came down the mountain wanting to marry and have children, and the 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 submit to an old man, or marry an ordinary person? Such a result is truly unwilling!

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.

Master said those old monsters kill everyone they see, leaving no blade of grass where 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.

The sect would never leave any information for her, because once those old monsters obtained such information, everyone in the sect would be slaughtered.

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

Seeing the other party struggling with something, Shen Yu kindly spoke up to remind her.

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

You don't know, but doesn't your master know? Finding any man to marry in the mortal world to experience it, then getting married and having children—that's just like playing house; that's not experiencing anything at all!

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 experience it? Just going through the motions mechanically, besides becoming a mother, what else could you possibly gain?

"Miss Su, since it is about 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 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 change the question: 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; should she make up a lie to trick him?

"You are unwilling, aren't you!"

Looking at her conflicted expression, Shen Yu smiled and said, "You must find someone for whom you are willing to die, someone who can make your face flush and your heart race, someone who can make you give your all—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, is alone. Only the Cultivation Method I practice 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 moving one's heart; a bunch of bachelors hanging out together—that 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 hearts and how to find a man—is it really that bizarre?

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

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

Listening to Shen Yu's words, Su Ningxue didn't respond; this was also different from what Master had told 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 who those people creating the Poison Person are, and where their Poison Persons are hidden?"

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

Master told her that Official Shen Yu hates evil as much as he hates a personal enemy, and as long as she brought this intelligence to find him, plus her proud appearance, she believed he would definitely not refuse.

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

But before the Poison Person's toxin even erupted, Shen Yu had already arrived. However, the problem now is that not only did he reject her idea of submitting to him, but he also wants to get her intelligence 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 toxins of the Poison Persons in various places erupt and harm 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-hearted toward accomplices. Have you and the sect behind you prepared to face my wrath?"

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

"Since you are not, then tell me everything you know!" He smiled lightly; it seems his feeling was correct, this is just a young girl who has 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 the other party was not lying; of course, it could not be ruled out that her memory had been tampered with, so she herself might not even realize she was lying.

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

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

"Hmm? Are you negotiating with me? Didn't I make myself clear just now? Accomplices are as guilty as the perpetrators—they shall be executed without mercy!"

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