"Hmm? A Son of Destiny, out in the middle of nowhere?"

"Could it be Ye Xing or Xiao Rui?"

[Impossible. The System has already marked and located any Sons of Destiny who have appeared. Both of them are currently staying safely at Azure Cloud Palace.]

"Oh? It's a new Son of Destiny! Then I absolutely have to go make my presence known!"

"System, give me the coordinates."

[Does the Host intend to approach the Son of Destiny using their current identity?]

"Of course. Xia Wantang's identity has already flirted with two Sons of Destiny. What if a love triangle situation arises with three people?"

"Besides, I rarely use the Tang Wan identity. If I gain forty to fifty points early on, it'll be a long time before we meet again. I might as well treat it as picking up Faith Points for free."

"After all, most of the time, I can only earn points using the 'Xia Wantang' identity."

[The Host speaks the truth! System navigating, I will serve you wholeheartedly.]

But Xia Wantang didn't know that because of a small decision she was making now, she was laying the foundation for a major downfall in the future.

The town where the Son of Destiny was located was called Luoshui Town. Hearing the town's name, Xia Wantang felt a sense of familiarity.

Despite the town's beautiful environment, resembling a paradise, it held a hidden secret within: the headquarters of an evil cult.

This cult was named the Heavenly Demon Cult, known for its rampant acts of murder, arson, and plunder.

Their leader, Ye Shang, specifically captured large numbers of ordinary cultivators and used their lives for blood sacrifices to attain higher cultivation. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him utterly insane.

These were things Xia Wantang learned from the novel's plot. When the author mentioned place names, they only specified Luoshui Town without indicating its exact location. Otherwise, she would have definitely destroyed this demonic cult in the early stages.

However, this was all late-game plot. They were still in the early stages now. She didn't know the current situation in Luoshui Town, whether the Heavenly Demon Cult had appeared, which Son of Destiny was here, or why they would be here.

With these doubts, Xia Wantang officially stepped into Luoshui Town.

The moment her graceful figure landed, she attracted the attention of many cultivators.

On one hand, the body she currently inhabited was exceptionally beautiful, making it hard not to draw attention.

On the other hand, although she looked young, she could fly in the air without the aid of any magic artifact. This indicated that her cultivation was above the Spirit Channeling Realm, meaning she was very strong, at least stronger than everyone present.

Four young men and women with outstanding looks, dressed in white immortal robes, also noticed Xia Wantang.

Among them, a handsome young man held a folding fan and sighed, shaking his head.

"I, Qu Shengwen, never expected to see such an ethereal and stunning beauty in this remote little town."

Sitting beside him was a pretty young girl, his sister Qu Zhuowen. She had a sweet appearance and blinked her large eyes, saying, "But Brother, this fairy sister can actually fly in the air! Doesn't that mean her cultivation has reached the Spirit Channeling Realm, making her even more powerful than Holy Son Yan Wen?"

The man with the coldest demeanor among the four, Ling Xuan, chimed in, "Although this fairy's cultivation is high, she might not be young. Perhaps she just has techniques to maintain her youthful appearance."

"In the East Hill Domain, who doesn't know that Holy Son Yan Wen is the number one prodigy in the domain?"

Yan Wen, who was mentioned by the two, was present. He was the Holy Son of the East Hill Domain's foremost sect, Asking Dao Valley.

Of course, unlike Xia Wantang and Ye Xing, the two imposters, he was a genuine, bona fide Holy Son.

The other three beside him were direct disciples of the elders of Asking Dao Valley.

Asking Dao Valley was isolated from the world, and its cultivation methods primarily focused on Dao cultivation. It was a mysterious and powerful existence throughout the Questioning Immortals Realm. Furthermore, they only had Holy Sons, no Saintesses.

All disciples of the sect wore the same attire, with only jade pendants to distinguish their identities, in line with Asking Dao Valley's low-key and frugal style.

Yan Wen, barely in his twenties, already possessed late-stage Profound Heaven Realm cultivation, which was astonishing among his peers, hence his title "East Hill Domain's Number One Prodigy."

At this moment, the other three turned their gazes to Yan Wen.

Yan Wen's appearance was outstanding, exceptionally handsome, with a face like polished jade, eyes like shooting stars, a nose like a hanging gall, and lips like smeared rouge.

His brows exuded a divine gentleness, and his deep eyes made it impossible to look away.

Even more commendable was his overall demeanor – refined and elegant, truly a picture of a perfect gentleman, worthy of his status as Holy Son.

Seeing all three looking at him, Yan Wen spoke faintly, his voice as smooth and soft as silk.

"Don't be arrogant. There's always someone better, and there are skies beyond the sky. My reputation comes from within the Valley. There must be many outstanding reclusive cultivators practicing low-key in this world. This young lady might be one of them."

As he spoke, he raised his gaze and looked intently at Xia Wantang.

[Tang Wan gained 5 Favorability Points from Yan Wen. Current Favorability Points: 5. Converted to 50 Faith Points.]

Fearing confusion between the Favorability Point notifications for the two identities, from now on, the System would use names to differentiate them during broadcasts.

Hearing the Favorability Point announcement, Xia Wantang understood—

So it was Yan Wen, one of the novel's male leads.

Among all the ensemble male leads, Yan Wen had the most ideal family background and the most transparent and simple identity.

His name was derived from the poem "Divine radiance pierces the gloomy air, new sun enters the warm atmosphere."

It's not hard to tell from the meaning of his name that he is showered with the ultimate favor of the Heavenly Dao and the author.

He was born noble, the legitimate eldest son of the Yan Family, the largest clan in the East Hill Domain. From a young age, his exceptional cultivation talent was discovered. He possessed dual spirit roots of fire and light, and an extremely rare cultivation sacred body—the Pure Dao Sacred Body, though few knew about it.

It could be said that his growth path was smooth sailing. Compared to him, male leads like Xiao Rui had a much more tragic journey.

Up until the novel's conclusion, Yan Wen was the male lead involved in the fewest romantic entanglements.

Furthermore, his looks could rival Ye Xing's.

Keep in mind that Ye Xing was the peak of attractiveness among all the males in the novel.

It's just that the two of them had completely different styles of handsomeness.

Ye Xing possessed a sharp beauty that was androgynous and refined, with a hint of coldness, while Yan Wen was like a piece of warm, beautiful jade, gentle and reserved.

Xia Wantang stealthily glanced around with her peripheral vision, quickly locking onto her target.
