Su Chen said, "This is very simple. When you go to kill Jiang Biehe, bring back a maid named Jiang Yuyan along the way."
"What is so special about Jiang Yuyan that makes Mr. Su specifically ask for her?"
Lianxing asked subconsciously, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
"Jiang Yuyan is the illegitimate daughter of Jiang Biehe, born when he frequented brothels."
"More than ten years ago, she came to seek refuge with Jiang Biehe with her mother, but Jiang Biehe drove her out."
“Now that her mother has passed away, she has come to Jiang Biehe’s house, partly to find someone to rely on, and partly out of resentment.”
"Jiang Biehe was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he made her a maid in the mansion."
"As for why I want her, it's simply because I need a maidservant and want her to serve me."
"Although this girl comes from a poor background, she is clever and quick-witted, and with a little guidance, she can be put to good use."
Su Chen said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Yaoyue and Lianxing both breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's simple."
"Let's head back to the Jianghu of the Ming Dynasty."
"After this is done, I will return to Snowmoon City and fulfill my promise to protect you for the past three years."
"Inviting the Moon" said crisply and decisively.
After expressing their gratitude, Yaoyue and Lianxing left Dengtian Pavilion together.
Ye Ruoyi watched their departing figures before relaxing and telling Su Chen what had happened on the sixteenth floor.
"Have all sorts of experts started fighting over the Heavenly Secret Token?"
"Is Prince Xu Fengnian of Beiliang willing to offer 100,000 taels of gold to purchase the Heavenly Secret Token?"
Su Chen raised an eyebrow, not expecting the Heavenly Secret Token to become so sought-after so quickly.
Moreover, he seems to have found a way to make money.
Su Chen quickly considered various methods in his mind and came up with several ways to utilize the Heavenly Secret Token.
However, we don't need those things for now. The most important thing right now is to give this pretty young lady some compensation.
Since agreeing to become Su Chen's maid, Ye Ruoyi moved into the next room and arranged his daily life in an orderly manner.
Su Chen had seen all of this, and now that he had obtained a healing elixir, he naturally wanted to help her use it.
Without even thinking, he said, "Come and sit down."
He pointed to the spot in front of him, "Let me tell your fortune."
Ye Ruoyi obediently sat down, blinked her beautiful eyes, and asked curiously, "Doesn't Mr. Su only have his fortune told once every seven days?"
Su Chen coughed lightly and said in a serious tone:
"There are fifty in the universe, forty-nine in the heavens, and one in man."
“Even heaven and earth have imperfections, and my rules are not immutable. I will make an exception for you today.”
Will you make an exception for me this once?
Ye Ruoyi showed a touched expression after hearing this.
She had witnessed firsthand how coveted the Heavenly Secret Token was, how many martial arts figures fought each other for it, and how many were willing to pay exorbitant sums to obtain it.
"How silly of you to be so easily moved."
Su Chen looked at her expression and shook his head inwardly.
Although he possessed the Jade Marrow Rejuvenation Pill, fortune-telling still required following proper procedures.
After all, Ye Ruoyi has a noble status and profound fortune; having her fortune told once would bring many additional benefits.
Soon, Su Chen began to tell her fortune.
When Ye Ruoyi saw Su Chen holding her hand, her face flushed and her heart pounded like a herd of deer.
In fact, she had fantasized about this scene countless times, but each time she had to stop because her heart was beating too fast.
Now that her fantasy has come true, she finds it even harder to suppress the feelings in her heart.
"The fortune telling for Ye Ruoyi was successful."
"Congratulations, host, you have obtained a Martial Arts Deduction Card."
The cold system notification sound instantly cheered Su Chen up.
Martial Arts Deduction Card!
He knew all too well how powerful this treasure was.
In just one hour, he was able to fully comprehend two of the supernatural abilities in the "Zhouliu Liuxu Gong" and his cultivation level soared from the third rank of martial artist to the peak of the Free Realm.
The "Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique" I obtained this time is a true cultivation sword technique, even more difficult to learn than the "Circulating Six Void Technique".
Now that we have the Martial Arts Deduction Card, things have become much easier.
"Mr. Su, what...how am I?"
Seeing Su Chen withdraw his hand, Ye Ruoyi immediately asked nervously.
She had a congenital heart defect and had seen many doctors, but was never cured.
She had already given up on the idea of becoming a normal person.
But after meeting Su Chen, a glimmer of hope rekindled in her heart.
Now she fears that this hope will be dashed again.
Su Chen noticed her worry and smiled, saying, "Don't worry, I've already calculated it. There's someone in this world who can save you."
Ye Ruoyi's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"
"Far away, yet so close."
Su Chen smiled and flipped his hand, revealing the Jade Marrow Rejuvenation Pill in his palm.
"This is..." Ye Ruoyi blinked, still somewhat confused.
"This pill is called the Jade Marrow Rejuvenation Pill. It is made from the jade marrow of ten-thousand-year-old cold jade. You will be cured after taking it."
Su Chen patiently explained it again.
Ye Ruoyi was initially pleased, but then, recalling Su Chen's expression earlier, she hesitated and whispered:
"This pill is too precious; I dare not accept it."
Su Chen realized she had misunderstood and quickly said:
"This pill is nothing special, you can just accept it."
"My expression was somber just now not because I was reluctant to part with the pill, but because I had considered something else."
Ye Ruoyi then accepted the Jade Marrow Rejuvenation Pill with relief, and then asked curiously, "What did Mr. Su foresee? Is it about me?"
Su Chen nodded, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and slowly said, "Would you like to hear a story from me?"
"Mr. Su, please speak."
Ye Ruoyi sat upright, listening intently.
Seeing her earnest expression, Su Chen was quite pleased. He then gently unfolded his folding fan and began to speak slowly:
"Many years ago, the Beili Dynasty was in complete chaos, with fires raging everywhere and arsonists running rampant."
"At that time, many children lost their parents, including a brother and sister who were not even ten years old."
"They could only hide in a dilapidated temple and survive by begging."
"But back then, even the landlords didn't have any surplus grain, so who would feed them?"
"As the days went by, they ate up all the food around them."
"They were both starving."
"My brother forced himself to go out to find something to eat, but he couldn't find anything."
"The girl in the temple received half a cake from a kind person."
"The younger sister didn't eat any; she waited for her brother to come back and gave the pancake to him."
She also lied to her brother, saying that a kind person had given her two cakes, and that she had already eaten one.
"Upon hearing this, my brother ate the pancake without worry and thus got through that coldest night."
"But when the brother woke up the next morning, he found that his sister's body was already cold; she had starved to death."
"Only then did the brother realize everything his sister had done for him, and his heart ached terribly."
"From then on, the brother vowed that no matter what the cost, he would bring his sister back to life."
"Later, an old Taoist priest who happened to be passing by saved him and took him as his disciple."
"This old Taoist priest is called Qingfeng Daoren. He is the head of Huanglong Mountain and is very capable."
"He saw that his brother was a martial arts prodigy, so he taught him well."
"My brother didn't let him down either."
"He became a master of the Vajra Mortal Realm at the age of ten, the Free Earth Realm at the age of twelve, and the Carefree Heaven Realm at the age of sixteen."
"By the age of twenty-four, he had become even more powerful, breaking through to the Divine Travel Realm!"
"But he didn't want to become famous. Instead, he went directly to the overseas immortal mountains to find a way to revive his sister."
"He drifted overseas for sixteen years without finding a solution. He was so conflicted that he eventually went mad."
"But he can't become a demon. If he does, who can save his sister?"
"So he used his willpower to suppress his demonic nature and switched to cultivating the Ghost Immortal realm, his cultivation level becoming similar to that of a terrestrial immortal!"
"He has now been at the Ghost Immortal realm for over twenty years."
"But he never gave up."
