Chapter 1190 Xuanyu 46
Jin Ming quickly calmed down, and her gaze towards Xuan Qi turned fierce, as if she would be the first to strike if Xuan Qi dared to have any bad intentions.
Jin Han pressed her down: "This is an adult's family matter. We should just watch. It's not your place to take action."
Xuanqi sat down opposite Tan You: "When did you find out?"
"I only had a vague guess before," Tan You admitted frankly. She even poured Xuan Qi a cup of tea, even though Xuan Qi didn't have a physical form, but the gesture was enough.
“You and Xuan Yu…you are both really smart,” Tan You chuckled twice. Soon another phantom appeared beside Xuan Qi, which was Xuan Yu, who should have been “sleeping” at this time.
However, Xuan Yu was surrounded by layers of arrays.
“She hasn’t woken up yet, what are you doing…” Xuanqi glanced at Xuanyu, seemingly indignant on Xuanyu’s behalf.
Tan You chuckled: "Who said she hasn't awakened? Xuan Yu had already awakened when I was still in the lower realm and only at the seventh level of cultivation. The moment she awakened, I knew you were still alive. It's just that you haven't shown yourself all these years, so I knew you had a grand plan."
Xuanqi remained silent: "When did you realize something was wrong?"
“I knew it the moment you appeared,” Tan You said frankly, “Your timing was too perfect. If it were anyone else, they would be grateful to anyone who lends a helping hand in times of crisis.”
“But I don’t need that. No one can be my savior. On the contrary, the moment you appeared, I raised your danger level to the highest.”
"Only after I completely merged with the bloodline of the Xuanwei Merfolk did I realize that you have a talent skill: stealing the sky and changing the sun. From beginning to end, the one who wanted the identity of the second daughter of the Helian family the most was you."
"You want the destiny of a god, even if Xuan Yu is your daughter."
Xuanqi laughed instead of getting angry: "You are really smart. Yes, I do want the destiny of a god. I have been planning this for so many years, but I never expected that you would see through it all."
"I sensed your arrival and made preparations accordingly, but I didn't expect you to be so wary. Wouldn't it be great if you obediently became my nourishment?"
Tan You wasn't angry: "I don't have the habit of sacrificing myself for others. Xuan Yu and you... are truly siblings. You both harbor the same intention to devour me, don't you, Xuan Yu?"
At this moment, Xuan Yu, who was "sleeping" in the formation, opened her eyes and looked at Tan You: "You found out, sister."
Tan You looked at her carefully, and after a long while, she smiled and said, "Xuan Qi, I've never seen anyone as ruthless as you before. You've stolen the sky and switched the sun; you've planted your spiritual imprint deep in Xuan Yu's soul."
"If Xuan Yu can remain calm and use the special relationship between us to devour me, then you can use your spiritual imprint to perform the 'Heaven and Earth Replacement' skill. In that case, everything Xuan Yu has will become yours."
"You can start thinking about the divine destiny you've been eyeing."
Xuan Yu's expression changed. After a quick internal examination, she indeed discovered the extremely well-hidden spiritual imprint deep within her sea of consciousness. She thought she was the mantis, but she never expected that the biggest oriole was actually her own mother.
Xuanqi remained expressionless: "Those who achieve great things are not bound by petty emotions and love. It is her honor to contribute her strength to my path to immortality."
“Everyone’s a villain,” Tan You sighed, shaking her head. She had seen a lot of darkness, but she had never seen anyone like Xuan Qi who could scheme everything.
"Qi Jue, who seduced Yin Yue back then, was actually a fragment of your soul, wasn't she?" She seemed to remember something: "You used Yin Yue to temper Xuan Yu. Only by belittling her into the mud could she possibly summon me." "Yes, Yin Yue is indeed useful," Xuan Qi said frankly. Of course, she wouldn't deny what she had done: "I only revealed some information about the Nine Heavens, and Yin Yue took the bait. She really is an excellent pawn."
“You treat others as pawns, but little do you know that one day the pawns will break free from your control.” Tan You slowly undulated the bluestone chessboard: “Now all your plans have failed. Xuanqi, you really are a gambler, extremely bold.”
"If you weren't targeting me, perhaps we could become very good friends."
Xuanqi scoffed: "It's just a matter of being one step behind. If you had made a pact with me back then, I wouldn't be in this situation where I've lost everything."
She sighed regretfully, "If I were to devour you, I could spare Xuan Yu's life, and then I would find her a new immortal body in the Nine Heavens."
“But you didn’t fall for it, so I have no choice but to take the second path. She is indeed my daughter; she also has the desire to devour you. We were born to be mother and daughter.”
Tan You's expression was somewhat subtle. In the cases she had taken on, the clients had all suffered tremendous injustices. They trusted her wholeheartedly, relied on her, and never thought of harming or scheming against her.
But Xuan Yu really opened her eyes. How could she have encountered such a client?
Sure enough, I need to be more careful when going out on missions in the future, lest I one day find myself caught off guard and fail miserably.
Jin Ming was dazed: "It's so complicated? My brain really can't handle it."
Tan You: "That's normal. Xuanwei merfolk are good at deduction. Their ability to see ten steps ahead is the most basic level."
Xuanqi stared at Tan You: "Now that you know everything, what do you intend to do?"
"I don't want to do anything," Tan You said indifferently. "Although you tried to scheme against me, your scheme didn't come true. At most, the only thing between us is that I can't stand you."
"As for you and Xuan Yu... that's between you two. I just want to quietly cultivate to the rank of High God and fulfill my mission in this world. I don't care who has the last laugh."
Xuanqi breathed a sigh of relief, while Xuanyu looked at Tan You and asked, "Sister, are you going to abandon me?"
"I wouldn't dare to interfere with you," Tan You chuckled. "I've already helped you enough, yet you dared to try and devour me. You can't do anything to Xuan Qi, whose remnant soul is weak?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Tan You succinctly tossed Xuan Qi and Xuan Yu into the Star Array. The Star Array would only be removed once the two had finished their battle.
To put it bluntly, neither of these two are good people. In her heart, Tan You think there's nothing wrong with fighting against fate, but she doesn't approve of someone as ruthless as Xuan Qi, who schemes against his own daughter.
So she added some embellishments to Xuan Yu's story. No matter how bad Xuan Yu was, she still managed to portray herself as the victim.
One day, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred at Biluo Ridge: the phenomenon of the bright moon over the sea reappeared. At this moment, Tan You was promoted to High God. Compared to her previous status as a quasi-High God, she was now a true High God, and she had the ability to establish rules.
