Do you know what happened?
Zhang Yu immediately sensed the hidden meaning in her words and quickly pressed her for an answer:
Why do they hate the Sheng Family so much?
Zhang Lingyun crossed her arms and looked Zhang Yu up and down, seemingly reassessing him, her eyes filled with inquiry and a hint of doubt.
I'm not entirely clear on the specifics either.
She frowned slightly, seemingly sorting through the distant memories belonging to Jiang Ling in her mind:
"But regarding the Sheng family royal family of the Eastern Sheng Kingdom, there are indeed some... well, quite famous characteristics that have been passed down."
"Characteristic?"
Zhang Yu's heart tightened; he sensed it wasn't going to be anything good.
"First,"
Zhang Lingyun held up one finger, her tone carrying a strange, teasing tone:
"The Sheng Family members seem to generally suffer from a terminal form of Love Brain."
Once they fall in love, they give their whole heart and soul, remaining devoted until death.
As a result, they committed many unbelievable and absurd acts, unleashing countless bloody storms in the Eastern Sheng Kingdom.
Zhang Yu: "..."
Love Brain?
Terminal illness?
What kind of Lineage trait is this?
No wonder the original owner of this body was so infatuated with Jiang Luohan, even willing to tear out her heart and soul.
Is it Lineage disease?
"But, no... something's not right."
She shook her head:
"As far as I know, the Sheng Family's Love Brain is incurable."
Once it strikes, it's almost incurable; intelligence plummets to zero, and behavior becomes irrational. But you...
She stopped and looked directly into Zhang Yu's eyes. "Why have you suddenly stopped fawning over Jiang Luohan lately?"
Zhang Yu's heart skipped a beat. Had she figured out that he wasn't the original owner of this body?
He forced himself to remain calm and countered, "People always change. After experiencing life and death, seeing through some things, and coming to your senses, isn't that normal?"
"Wide awake?"
Zhang Lingyun chuckled as if she had heard a joke:
"If the Sheng Family's Love Brain were so easy to sober up from, it wouldn't be called a 'terminal illness'."
That's a stubbornness etched into our blood, something more deeply rooted than Curse. Unless...
She paused, her gaze becoming even more peculiar, filled with scrutiny and disbelief:
"Unless, you're not a member of the Sheng Family at all?"
Or rather, what's wrong with the Sheng Family bloodline in you...?
Or perhaps...
She seemed troubled by the problem, her brow furrowed.
Zhang Yu quickly changed the subject, guiding the conversation. "Besides Love Brain, do the Sheng Family have any other characteristics?"
Zhang Lingyun was interrupted from her thoughts. She glanced at Zhang Yu, temporarily suppressing her doubts, and continued:
"The second characteristic, or rather, the Curse, is that the Sheng Family members have extremely poor talent for cultivation and are born with bad luck."
"No talent for cultivation?"
Does it also bring bad luck?
Zhang Yu was taken aback.
In the original owner's memories, he was indeed a complete failure in cultivation, and his life was miserable and extremely unlucky.
If the entire Imperial Family is like this, how did they manage to rule Eastern Sheng Kingdom for thousands of years?
"So,"
Zhang Lingyun concluded, her gaze sharpening once more as she scanned Zhang Yu from head to toe:
"Combining these two points, he has a terminal illness, a Love Brain, almost no talent for cultivation, and bad luck."
The you who was bullied by your Lineage, who was willing to die for Jiang Luohan, Cultivation was low—that's quite typical of a descendant of the Sheng Family."
"But,"
She abruptly changed the subject, her tone now filled with strong doubt and inquiry:
"It's a bit illogical that you're neither Love Brain nor possess such considerable Cultivation in such a short time."
"The contrast is so stark, it's almost impossible for them to be the same person."
Zhang Lingyun's eyes turned dangerous:
So, who exactly are you?
Or... something else took over his body?
Her aura fluctuated slightly, and a glint of light flickered in her dark purple eyes, clearly indicating that she had strong doubts about Zhang Yu's identity.
Zhang Yu's heart tightened; he knew he had to answer this question carefully.
Should he just say he's not the original owner of this body?
The risk is too great.
However, a complete denial would be difficult to convince Zhang Lingyun was clearly suspicious.
He steadied himself and gritted his teeth, saying:
"Now that things have come to this, there are some things I must tell you."
Zhang Lingyun raised an eyebrow slightly, but did not urge him; she simply waited quietly.
Zhang Yu's gaze drifted into the distance, as if lost in some kind of memory, and he slowly said:
"Actually, while I was in the Heavenly Prison, I awakened my Past Life Wisdom, or rather, I remembered certain fragments of my past life."
The Great Being Reincarnation —this was something Xiao Xuan had imagined, and Zhang Yu just happened to use it.
"Past life?"
Zhang Lingyun's eyes flickered slightly; this statement was not unusual in her long life.
The Great Being Reincarnation, the awakening of Past Life Wisdom, and the unsealing of past life's Cultivation are rare in the cultivation world, but not without precedent.
"Good."
Zhang Yu nodded, trying to sound calm and confident:
"It was the memories of my past life that gave me a sudden enlightenment, allowing me to instantly see through the Love Tribulation and find a way to break the Bloodline Curse."
His words were half true and half false, packaging the system's existence as awakened innate Past Life Wisdom and the methods from his past life memories, thus explaining both why his Love Brain was cured and why his Cultivation leaps and bounds.
Moreover, the Great Being Reincarnation and the awakening of Past Life Wisdom have a theoretical basis in this world, which is much more credible than simply saying that I am a time traveler.
Zhang Lingyun listened quietly, the doubt in her eyes gradually fading, replaced by a sense of realization and inquiry.
"No wonder."
She whispered, seemingly accepting the explanation:
"You probably didn't just awaken recently, did you?"
The Sword Bone Pill you gave me three years ago was not something an ordinary Alchemist could refine.
"That Pills, you obtained it from your memories of a past life, didn't you?"
She mentioned the Sword Bone Pill, which is excellent evidence.
The original owner was infatuated with Jiang Luohan, but at the same time, he was also extremely kind to his younger sister Zhang Lingyun, and once spent a lot of effort to refine the Sword Bone Pill to improve her physique.
This also explains why a Love Brain loser could produce such a precious Pills.
Zhang Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he nodded accordingly:
"That's right, the Pill Formula for that Sword Bone Pill is indeed... recorded in my memories from my previous life."
My memories were fragmented back then, and many things were a blur. It wasn't until this life-or-death ordeal that I truly began to awaken to some of my former state.
Zhang Lingyun was clearly more accepting of the idea that the person Great Being Reincarnation.
This explains the contradictions in his behavior compared to the characteristics of the Sheng Family, and also explains why he could undergo such a drastic change in temperament and "progress" in Cultivation in such a short period of time.
"I see."
Zhang Lingyun nodded, the doubts in her eyes mostly dissipating, but her curiosity deepened, as if she were quite curious about Zhang Yu's past life.
However, she didn't delve into it; everyone has their own secrets.
Then, she changed the subject:
"If that's the case, please refine a few more Sword Bone Pill for me when you have time."
The Profound Yin Heavenly Sword Bone was ultimately formed Houtian, and was not perfect or pure enough.
I'll absorb and refine a few more to see if I can further enhance this Sword Bone Body, or even make up for some of its shortcomings."
This is also a major reason why Jiang Ling insisted on finding Zhang Yu after Body Seizure Zhang Lingyun's body.
She needs more and higher-quality Sword Bone Pills to strengthen her acquired sword bone body so that she can recover her strength more quickly.
"That's easy to do."
Zhang Yu readily agreed.
Alchemy was not a difficult task for him, and he was naturally eager to use it to solidify his relationship with Zhang Lingyun.
"Oh, right,"
Zhang Lingyun seemed to suddenly remember something, a glint of light flashing in her dark purple eyes as she looked at Zhang Yu:
"I remember that your Dong Sheng Kingdom royal family seems to possess several rather special treasures, which would greatly benefit my recovery of cultivation."
Since you are of royal blood from the Eastern Sheng Kingdom, perhaps you can do something about it?
She absorbed Jiang Ling's memories and knew many ancient secrets.
The Sheng family of Dongsheng Kingdom has a long history. Although their own cultivation is not good, they have indeed collected a lot of good things by virtue of their special bloodline and the legacy of their ancestors.
Although Zhang Lingyun and Jiang Ling's souls have merged, their physical bodies are still very weak due to the reconstruction of their sword bones, and their strength has not yet recovered.
At this moment, the thought of the treasures that might exist in the Eastern Sheng Kingdom makes my heart itch with excitement.
If she can obtain it, her recovery speed will be greatly accelerated.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu smiled bitterly to himself.
Eastern Sheng Kingdom?
He is now considered by the Eastern Sheng Kingdom to be Remnants of the Imperial Family and a source of trouble that must be eliminated, and is being hunted down with all efforts.
Returning to the Eastern Sheng Kingdom to retrieve the treasure?
Isn't that just walking into a trap?
Seeing Zhang Yu's doubt, Zhang Lingyun said, "Don't worry, the Sheng family has been able to sit on the throne of Dong Sheng Kingdom for thousands of years, so naturally they have their special qualities."
As she spoke, she saw several enormous ships faintly visible on the horizon and nodded silently. "The Sheng Family's Trump Card has arrived."
