We hit it off like old friends, brother, but the last person I hit it off with was the Diviner

Although Lin Yu was somewhat surprised that Jian Cunyi had developed feelings for the Duxuan Sect, and because he needed to be mindful of Jian Cunyi's feelings before taking any further action...

However, this is also a Dual-bladed Sword.

Once a person falls in love, or even actively embraces love, their judgment will inevitably be affected.

Although I will need to find some excuses and concoct some pretexts when I move things from the Duxuan Sect, in order to prevent Jian Cunyi from having any resistance.

But on the other hand... if he could please Jian Cunyi, he might be able to take a few more things with him.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu also spoke up, "I've heard that the cultivation of Daoist techniques in the Prison Mountain Realm is closely related to one's state of mind... Brother Jian, you've received the inheritance of the Duxuan Sect, so it's truly a rare opportunity for you to return to the Duxuan Sect. Should we wander around the Du Duxuan Sect and see if we can help you gain more insights and understanding, thus further mastering the inherited Daoist techniques?"

As Lin Yu spoke, Jian Cunyi thought for a moment and nodded.

"Since you put it that way, Brother Lin, I won't stand on ceremony with you any longer—since we'll be spending the long night Duxuan Sect at Du Xuan Sect until dawn the next day, we might as well take a leisurely stroll around the sect."

"After all, our original purpose was to find more heritage and relics... Searching more meticulously can also prevent omissions."

Upon hearing Jian Cunyi bring up this matter, Lin Yu followed suit and continued the conversation.

"It was one thing not knowing this sect was the Duxuan Sect before, but now that I know... I'll leave the inheritance here, the 'Magical Artifacts' and other relics left behind by this sect untouched."

"After all, this sect has a connection with you, Brother Jian... and I'm not lacking in [Item] or methods."

"The sights within this sect have so deeply moved you, Brother Jian. In my opinion... it would be better to preserve them exactly as they are."

Lin Yu spoke with utmost sincerity.

Jian Cunyi shook his head. "There's no need for that— the Duxuan Sect has indeed been destroyed for a long time. Although I do have some special feelings for this sect because of my inheritance... this is the Prison Mountain Realm."

"If the elders of the Duxuan Sect were aware of this, they would surely hope that the sect's heritage and magical Magical Artifacts would not be left to gather dust again, nor would they fall into such a state of being unused. Instead, they would hope that they could contribute to the great cause of slaying demons and monsters in the Prison Mountain Realm."

Jian Cunyi paused here, then continued, "Moreover, you're not entirely unrelated to the Duxuan Sect —since this address was given to you by Layman Yun Fengyang, it means that Layman Yun Fengyang himself might have been on good terms with the Du Duxuan Sect back then, and might even have been an honorary elder of the Duxuan Sect —after all, I've heard of Yun Jushi's great name; back then, he held positions in half of the Daoist Sect after his travels."

"Therefore... your Named Disciples who received the Yun Jushi's Legacy, and your coming to inherit the legacy of the Duxuan Sect here, is not without just cause."

Lin Yu said, "But if we preserve this place as it is, you'll be moved every time you come, and you might even gain some insight or understanding. That would be a reward in itself."

Jian Cunyi smiled and shook his head, "While what you said isn't entirely hopeless... it's still far too unrealistic!"

"Besides, even if you take the inheritance, this sect might change, but it won't be completely destroyed—I can still return here from time to time to experience and understand."

Lin Yu nodded. "That's true... But no matter what, although I have inherited the Yun Jushi tradition, on the level of 'legal principles,' I can't compare to Brother Jian, who directly inherited the legacy of the Duxuan Sect senior."

"Therefore, if there are any more inheritances and Magical Artifacts within this sect, it would be more appropriate for you, Brother Jian, to inherit them."

Jian Cunyi looked at Lin Yu and chuckled, "As a mere 'Tier 4,' do you think I lack [Item] or this little bit of inheritance? It's more appropriate for you to take it!"

Lin Yu said seriously, "Brother Jian, you said that more than half of your [Item] are prepared to target 'Diviner' —so you may not be as well -Item as you think."

Jian Cunyi chuckle turned into a loud laugh, "Haha, Director... you're clearly a very smart person, how come you can't get it right on this point?"

"No matter how much my [Item] target 'Diviner'... how could my ranking on the Rankings be fake?"

"Besides... those [Item] are said to be aimed at 'Diviner,' but they're all [Item] that can be used against 'Diviner.' Wouldn't they be useful against other people too?"

Jian Cunyi smiled and patted Lin Yu on the shoulder, "Don't worry about me being too weak at the Tier 4... Now that I want to become stronger, the number of [Item] is no longer important -- finding the right path for myself is the most important thing."

Lin Yu listened to Jian Cunyi's words and showed a thoughtful expression, then nodded. "Alright, since Brother Jian has said so... then I certainly will not disgrace the legacy of the Duxuan Sect."

"However, when you receive the inheritance or find any Magical Artifacts, please take a look first, Brother Jian. If those things can help you, you should take them first."

Jian Cunyi nodded. "Don't worry, if I really need it, I won't stand on ceremony with you, Brother Lin."

At this point, Jian Cunyi sighed again, "However, I've seen many 'Player'... but those as sincere as you, Brother Lin, are rare these days."

We really do get along well!

Jian Cunyi said earnestly.

Lin Yu laughed, "I feel the same way... Brother Jian and I have a feeling of instant connection—although this is only our second meeting and we haven't known each other for very long, being with you really makes me feel relaxed and comfortable."

Jian Cunyi and said, "That's wonderful—Brother Lin, in my opinion, you have a bright future ahead of you. You might even become a leader in 'Order' someday."

"If you become the one who holds sway over 'Order'... remember to do me a favor."

Lin Yu looked at Jian Cunyi and smiled helplessly, "That won't do, Brother Jian... No matter how much I admire you, I can't possibly agree with your idea of stuffing people from the Ten Realms into the Real World —in fact, I might even increase the level of surveillance on you."

Jian Cunyi laughed and said, "Hahaha, that's what I admire about you—even though you haven't become someone with real power and decision-making authority in 'Order' yet, you can say whatever you want to hear to make me happy, but in this situation... you still refuse to say things against your conscience."

"You really are... very sincere!"

Upon hearing Jian Cunyi's assessment, Lin Yu shrugged. "To be honest, I'm actually quite cunning and good at lying... or rather, I think I just know how to be flexible and prioritize 'results' in my actions."

"But there are some things I really don't want to compromise on... especially when I said I 'felt an instant connection' with you, Brother Jian, it wasn't just polite talk. I genuinely feel that you and I might be able to become friends."

"If you were just an ordinary 'Tier 4' colleague who was temporarily working with me, I would definitely have said some nice things to make you happy, but... I don't want to Deception or fool my future friend."

Lin Yu spoke seriously, Jian Cunyi for a moment, seemingly not expecting Lin Yu to speak so earnestly and directly.

He also stopped smiling and said seriously, "To be honest, Brother Lin—I feel the same way as you."

"Although I came to you only because you are a 'necessary and suitable candidate' for me on my path to dealing with 'Diviner'... but now, being with you, I truly feel... that we get along very well!"

Jian Cunyi was speaking, Lin Yu spoke up.

"Since Brother Jian feels the same way, it means my feelings weren't just a figment of my imagination—however, I must admit that besides not wanting to deceive my future friends, I also said those things because I just realized..."

"What did you realize?"

Jian Cunyi asked curiously.

Lin Yu looked at Jian Cunyi with a smile, "I realize that you might actually be happier if I say these things."

Jian Cunyi burst into laughter. "Hahahaha--Brother Lin, you are truly a wonderful person!"

"I think there's a 50/50 chance that we can become very like-minded friends, or even close confidants."

Jian Cunyi spoke, Lin Yu also became curious.

"Only half? What is the other half?"

Jian Cunyi maintained his smile, clapped his hands, and looked at Lin Yu: "As for the other half... we might become mortal enemies."

At this point, Jian Cunyi slowly began, "After all, the last guy I met made me feel like I was basking in a spring breeze, like we were long-lost friends..."

"... It is indeed a 'Diviner'."

Lin Yu's smile vanished instantly upon hearing Jian Cunyi's words.

But he didn't show any signs of panic; instead, he looked thoughtful. "Really? It seems that guy disguised himself very well back then, actually fooling you, Brother Jian..."

"But considering it's that 'Diviner' guy, it's not surprising at all... that person's cunning and scheming are truly unfathomable."

Lin Yu analyzed seriously.

Jian Cunyi: "Indeed... that's why I had to kill him—such a scourge, if left in the world, will only continue to create disasters and become the source of countless tragedies."

At this point, Jian Cunyi moment. "But before that, let's first find the location of the Duxuan Sect's legacy. Although this sect is abandoned, everything is so well preserved. Perhaps when the predecessors of the Duxuan Sect left this place, they had already arranged the legacy, specifically for future generations to open."
