"The Seven Peaks Martial Tournament is of utmost importance." Lu Xueqi withdrew her gaze, gripped the Tianya Sword in her hand, and the chill around her gradually subsided.
After understanding the function of the Chat Group, she realized that the All-Heavens Chat Group connected all realms and was full of unknowns and mysteries. She worried that her master might not understand it or that it might cause unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, he did not tell his master about it, but instead bore the burden alone.
As for Lin Yu, he had been quietly lurking in the group ever since the new members joined.
Upon learning that the newcomer was Lu Xueqi, Lin Yu's eyes flickered slightly.
Lin Yu stared at the Chat Group panel, his fingertips unconsciously tapping his palm.
There are many good things in the Zhu Xian World, especially the five volumes of Tome of Heaven.
With his own comprehension, Lin Yu wondered what he could possibly glean from it.
However, he suppressed the thought as soon as it arose.
The Zhu Xian World and the world it inhabits share a nearly identical stubbornness regarding the "inheritance of cultivation techniques".
The law should not be passed on lightly.
Lu Xueqi possessed exceptional talent, yet Shuiyue never fully imparted the Qingyun Sect's martial arts techniques to her, let alone a secret treasure like the Tome of Heaven.
Members from other worlds in the group have a precedent of uploading their cultivation techniques to the in-game store.
Even though Lu Xueqi knew about the mall's functions after joining the group, she never considered uploading any cultivation techniques, which shows her adherence to the sect's rules.
Lin Yu clicked his tongue lightly, recalling his mindset when he first joined the group.
If the system hadn't updated the revenue-sharing mechanism, he would never have easily uploaded the Maoshan martial arts manual.
Thinking about it this way, to see the true face of the Tome of Heaven, one must first find the right opportunity; one cannot rush it.
Just as he was pondering a solution, the group chat started buzzing with messages again.
Wong Wing-fat the first to tag Lu Xueqi.
[Wong Wing-fat: Miss Xueqi, I wonder what point in the Zhu Xian World you are in now? If it's still early, there's still time to make preparations. Otherwise, you'll be riddled with holes by the Demonic Sect!]
As soon as these words were spoken, the group fell silent instantly. Even Huang Rong, who had been spamming the chat, stopped, clearly wanting to know Lu Xueqi's timeline as well.
Lin Yu's eyes lit up; this was exactly what he wanted to know!
If the treasure hunt at Mount Kongsang had not yet taken place, the first volume of the Tome of Heaven would still be hidden in the Blooddrip Cave.
Once he gets Lu Xueqi's consent, he can go into her world to obtain it.
Otherwise, if the first volume of the Tome of Heaven ends up in the Ghost King's hands, he'll have to get the Ghost King's permission to study it, and he might even have to sit through a whole ordeal.
Then, the difficulty of accessing the Tome of Heaven will increase several times over.
Lu Xueqi stared at the messages in the group chat for a moment in silence before slowly replying.
[Lu Xueqi: The Seven Peaks Martial Tournament is currently underway, and Zhang Xiaofan has just finished a match.]
Lin Yu looked at the reply and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
If it were during this period, everything would be much easier to handle.
When Lu Xueqi and the others go on their training, he can then go to her world and get his hands on the first volume of the Tome of Heaven.
[Ning Caichen: In that case, after Xueqi's battle with Zhang Xiaofan, they will immediately begin their sect training, and the first volume of the Tome of Heaven will also be introduced.]
[Xiao Yan: That's right, @Lu Xueqi, you have to seize this opportunity! That's Tome of Heaven; you might even be able to comprehend some unparalleled martial arts technique from it.]
Lu Xueqi looked at the group chat, where her friends were offering her advice, and she began to ponder.
[Huang Rong: So that means from here on, Xueqi will be involved with Zhang Xiaofan?]
[Omniscient and Omnipotent: @Huang Rong, don't interrupt. Besides, Zhang Xiaofan isn't a fickle person.]
[Omniscient and Omnipotent: Zhang Xiaofan was inherently a kind and good person. Biyao died for him, and his morality simply wouldn't allow him to abandon Biyao.]
For the first time ever, Su Xiaoxiao explained things to Zhang Xiaofan.
Lin Yu also silently went into hiding. He also reread the novel "Zhu Xian" posted by the group owner, and it was indeed as Su Xiaoxiao described.
Zhang Xiaofan would always bring food to Puzhi, who was homeless, but it was this kindness that trapped him.
When a friend is willing to die for him, given Zhang Xiaofan's personality, he would absolutely become obsessed with it.
The group chat was quiet for a moment after Su Xiaoxiao's explanation, before the focus returned to Lu Xueqi's situation.
Xu Xian was the first to raise the crucial question.
[Xu Xian: Miss Xueqi, now that you know the plot, how do you plan to deal with it? Telling your sect directly probably won't work.]
[Xu Xian: The elders of the Qingyun Sect are always stubborn. Without evidence, if you mention the infiltration of the Demonic Sect or the appearance of the Tome of Heaven, not only will they not believe you, but you may also be suspected of being tainted by demonic energy, which could bring you trouble.]
These words struck a nerve with Lu Xueqi, and her grip on the Tianya Sword tightened slightly.
She had considered revealing the Chat Group to her master, but her master couldn't see the light screen.
Upon seeing this, Huang Rong quickly typed...
[Huang Rong: Yeah, yeah, those old fogies are the most stubborn. Don't be foolish enough to try and prove yourself.]
[Huang Rong: In my opinion, it would be better to hold back for now. After the Seven Peaks Martial Tournament ends and the sect training begins, you can take the initiative to go towards Mount Kongsang. Then, you can act according to the situation. This way, you can obtain the Tome of Heaven and also be on guard against the Demonic Sect in advance!]
Everyone in the group was offering their advice and suggestions for Lu Xueqi, but Lu Xueqi's brows remained furrowed as she looked at the messages on the screen.
While these suggestions are feasible, they lack a certain confidence.
It's not that she's unwilling to remain inactive and know the future; if she does nothing, it's better not to know at all.
The thought of the Qingyun Sect being infiltrated by the Demonic Sect and its fellow disciples suffering in the future made the passive waiting feel too agonizing.
Just then, Lin Yu, who had been lurking online, finally sent a message, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
[Lin Yu: Your suggestion is sound, but it lacks initiative. Miss Xueqi, perhaps you don't need to rush to hide the Chat Group. Master Shuiyue is your teacher and has always trusted you. If you can prove the Chat Group's miraculous properties, she might just believe you.]
The group fell silent immediately after these words were spoken. Huang Rong was the first to retort.
[Huang Rong: Lin Yu, your idea is too risky. Those old fogies are most averse to unorthodox methods. Chat Group, which supposedly allow one to know the future, will only be seen as evil magic if mentioned.]
[Lin Yu: I'm not suggesting she directly mention the future, but rather gradually, revealing other functions of the Chat Group. Setting aside the plot, the Chat Group is a treasure; it allows travel between worlds, and points are omnipotent.]
Lin Yu then added.
[Lin Yu: You can casually mention these features of the Chat Group to your master in private, letting her know that you've acquired a priceless treasure. Once Shuiyue trusts you, you can casually reveal one or two small things that are about to happen to your master, such as the result of an upcoming competition or a minor incident involving a fellow disciple.]
[Lin Yu: Once things are verified, your master will completely trust you. You can then gradually raise the concerns about the Demonic Sect's infiltration and the appearance of the Tome of Heaven. Master Shuiyue is not a pedantic person; if she knew of the impending crisis, she would definitely take precautions in advance.]
These are all Lin Yu's personal experiences. At first, he didn't know how to mention the Chat Group to his master, but eventually, the Chat Group was exposed in their daily interactions.
However, as a master, everything is for the sake of the disciple. The more one says and the more one exposes, the greater the danger becomes.
That's why Lin Yu, who knew all this, was able to make Lu Xueqi trust her master.
Lin Yu's words stirred something in Lu Xueqi's heart.
She recalled her master's teachings, which, though strict, were always full of concern. If she could prove her words true with small things, her master might actually believe her.
Moreover, with the master's support, both cultivation and dealing with the demonic sects will be much more efficient and reliable than acting alone.
