A sobbing sound came from behind him, and Lin Yu's heart stirred slightly. He quickly realized that it seemed to be Feng Nianzhi's voice.
Could it be that this water droplet person also kidnapped Feng Nianzhi just now?
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. Putting aside everything else, the security system of the Shouyang Daoist's residence is quite strong. The reason why the Water Drop Man was able to succeed with Lin Yu was entirely because Lin Yu did it intentionally.
After sensing that mysterious power, Lin Yu deliberately withdrew his protective measures, just in order to compete with this mysterious power.
As for Feng Nianzhi, there was nothing unusual going on. Logically, the protection system shouldn't malfunction, so the Water Drop Man naturally had no opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
However, nothing is absolute. According to Lin Yu's previous thinking, no matter how powerful this mysterious force was, it would not be a match for him.
However, it turns out that this mysterious power does indeed have some tricks up its sleeve.
Lin Yu's brain instantly went into high-speed mode as he pondered the ins and outs of the whole matter.
Upon careful reflection, he realized that the entire attack had occurred in such a hurried manner that he had overlooked some details.
This resulted in Lin Yu not actually knowing why he came to this place, or why he was trapped here.
Especially since the system hasn't been contacted yet; it only issued a notification sound before that gust of wind.
"Did you hear that little girl's voice? If you don't hand over the stuff obediently, this little girl's life is in danger!" the Water Drop Man said menacingly.
"I heard everything! Didn't that crazy old man from the ancient Phoenix Clan hand this little girl over to you? You promised that old man you'd take good care of her."
"Are you going to go back on your word, hehehe..."
As the water droplet spoke, it let out a childish laugh, somewhat like a baby's, but it sounded strangely eerie.
Hearing the water droplet man's laughter, it seemed as if he had already won, and was certain that Lin Yu would obediently hand over the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Piece.
However, Lin Yu fell into deep thought. Since this water droplet person had brought him here, it could only mean that this place was conducive to his performance. If the other party was truly powerful, why would they need to choose a specific location?
Moreover, since just now, Lin Yu has only heard Feng Nianzhi's voice, but has not seen Feng Nianzhi herself.
During the time Lin Yu was thinking, Feng Nianzhi's crying did not stop, but became more and more shrill.
Lin Yu frowned upon hearing this, but suddenly sensed something was amiss.
It was clearly Feng Nianzhi's voice, but Lin Yu felt it was very out of place.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yu understood why he felt something was wrong, but couldn't put his finger on it at first.
It turned out that the crying sounded too childish/immature.
Although it sounded like a child crying, it just felt out of place coming from Feng Nianzhi!
Although Feng Nianzhi was imprisoned in the body of a child, she was still, in essence, the Phoenix Lord of the ancient Phoenix clan, with a very mature mind and spirit.
Such a childish voice might be normal coming from a small child, but it seems somewhat abnormal coming from someone like Feng Nianzhi, who is in a "higher position".
Lin Yu immediately sensed that something was amiss.
This water droplet-like figure, in the end, is nothing more than a fragment of a piece used to mend the sky.
Before this, Lin Yu had fought against fragments of the Heaven-Mending Sword before, and he knew all too well how much power a single fragment could possess.
Upon discovering this, Lin Yu felt as if the clouds had parted to reveal the clear sky.
Before gaining sentience, this water droplet certainly couldn't freely change its form, but after acquiring sentience, it could transform into various forms.
Of course, there's nothing particularly special about these things, because the cultivation of any living being is actually like this, with different stages, and at different stages, one can possess different levels of strength.
Before learning the true nature of this fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone, He Buxian and Lin Yu both regarded it as a "mysterious power," but now it seems that this fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone truly does not live up to its name.
His spiritual power might not be as strong as Lin Yu initially imagined.
Although the water droplet knew about the black-robed high priest's previous instructions to Lin Yu, this did not prove anything.
Perhaps it's just that the other party coveted the fragment of the Heaven-Mending Sword in my possession, and thus lurked around me.
"You really want this fragment of the Heaven-Mending Piece that much?!" Lin Yu raised an eyebrow and asked in a nonchalant tone.
The water droplet-like man's eyes darted around, clearly unaware of what had happened to Lin Yu. He had initially shown obvious panic when he heard Feng Nianzhi crying.
How come Lin Yu returned to normal in the blink of an eye, and even started chatting with him about these random things?
"Nonsense, hand over the stuff right now!" the Waterdrop Man said without any curiosity.
Lin Yu chuckled leisurely upon hearing this, "Haven't you ever thought about why you yourself are so eager to obtain the Heaven-Mending Fragment?"
"That goes without saying, I want its power!"
"Power?! But there are so many rare and precious materials in this world, why are you so obsessed with the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone?" Lin Yu laughed again upon hearing this, his tone gradually becoming more assertive.
"You crave the power of the Heaven-Mending Stone not for any other reason than that you are also a fragment of it. Because you were once part of the Heaven-Mending Stone, that's why you want to obtain this power."
"After gaining spiritual awareness, didn't you sense anything amiss? Is this spiritual awareness truly something you absolutely need?"
"Didn't you ever think that one day, the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone would come together again and be restored to its original state?"
Lin Yu's series of questions left the Waterdrop Man stunned for a moment, then he actually laughed and covered his mouth with his hand.
"Hahaha, what's so great about re-synthesizing the Sky-Mending Stone? It's nothing compared to how carefree I am now!" the Water Drop Man said dismissively.
"As long as we master the complete power of the Heaven-Mending Stone, what difference does it make whether we combine them or not?" The water droplet man said smugly, his gaze towards Lin Yu filled with arrogance.
Although his features were blurry, Lin Yu could still sense his meaning.
This water droplet person actually thought that Lin Yu was the naive one.
