OMG! I Transmigrated into Four Books at the Same Time!-Chapter 439 - 415

This gathering was originally meant to celebrate for Chen Xuan, but Chen Xuan fainted straight away, and Qiong Yu suddenly became a hidden master, which naturally left no reason to continue the gathering.

After Emperor Wan Hua spoke, everyone hastily dispersed.

Emperor Qiong Yu also returned to the Jade Pavilion with Ling Yun and Shi Nian, looking worried and distressed.

Everyone was shocked.

In front of such a large crowd, would Chen Xuan really dare to disrespect Master?

Just as everyone was about to ask, Ling Yun began excitedly, "You didn’t go to the scene, it’s such a pity. Master today took on two arenas and outright made Chen Xuan and Jin Hua, the teacher-student duo, flee in utter defeat. Even the Sect Master acknowledged our Master’s strength personally."

Everyone: "???"

Everyone looked at Emperor Qiong Yu in surprise.

They had followed the Master for so many years, could it be that Master had hidden her abilities so profoundly? 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

For a moment, the eyes of everyone observing Qiong Yu were gleaming.

Seeing the admiring looks from everyone, Qiong Yu felt somewhat overwhelmed.

She wore a pained expression, "Do even you not believe me? Where would I have the capability to defeat Jin Hua? That attack that made Jin Hua admit defeat wasn’t even sent out by me."

These are all insiders; there is no reason for Emperor Qiong Yu to not tell the truth.

Ling Yun was also startled.

"Master, if the attack wasn’t sent out by you, then who did?" Ling Yun couldn’t help but ask.

Qiong Yu shook her head, "I don’t know either. It must have been someone secretly giving a helping hand."

If there really is such a person, their abilities, which fooled everyone from top to bottom in the Wanhua Sect, likely surpass that of an ordinary Immortal Venerate.

Why such a capable person would help her in secret?

Qiong Yu couldn’t help but look at Shi Nian.

This incident, it could be said, was completely instigated by Shi Nian.

This new disciple she took in seems not that simple.

Qiong Yu glanced at Shi Nian and said, "Come in with me."

"Yes." Shi Nian obediently complied.

"Master, it wasn’t intentional by little sister Hua." Ling Yun hurriedly spoke up.

Emperor Qiong Yu shook her head, "I’m just going to talk with her, no need to worry."

Ling Yun knew that their own Master was not a person to nitpick, and after giving Shi Nian a reassuring look, he stepped aside.

Shi Nian followed Qiong Yu obediently into the inner chamber.

Qiong Yu sat down and sighed, "Little Hua, is there anything you wish to confess?"

Shi Nian stretched out her hand, and her features suddenly changed, transforming back to her real appearance.

Shi Nian spoke softly, "Master, please don’t blame me, my real name is Shi Nian, and Jin Hua was just a casual alias."

It seemed that Qiong Yu had already guessed it, and she said with a worried look, "How can I possibly carry the title of your Master?"

Isn’t she a fool?

Shi Nian kept advising her to enter the arena, and then, Chen Xuan and Jin Hua were defeated in this inexplicable manner.

It was clear to her that someone was secretly helping her, and that helper must be related to Shi Nian.

The situation at hand, it might very well be Shi Nian herself.

This new disciple she had taken in must at least have the power of an Immortal Venerate level!

What virtue or ability does she truly possess!

Shi Nian blinked: "Master is surely up to the task."

Qiong Yu wore a troubled expression: "Miss Shi, I wonder what important matter brings you to Wanhua Sect? Whatever it is, I am merely a recluse and I’m afraid I may not be of much help."

Shi Nian spoke softly: "Master, I have no schemes against Wanhua Sect. My making you high-profile this time serves two purposes, one is for the Heavenly Dome Secret Realm. I am very interested in those Divine spirits who suffered calamities; the Heavenly Dome Secret Realm may harbor the secrets of the Divine spirits, and I wish to investigate."

Qiong Yu didn’t look surprised at all, merely nodding her head.

She is not fond of conflicts, but was born with an astute heart; from earlier circumstances, she had already guessed most of Shi Nian’s thoughts.

"Secondly," Shi Nian paused, then said: "I once encountered a person like Chen Xuan."

Qiong Yu was taken aback: "A person like Chen Xuan?"

"Does Master really think that Chen Xuan is a cultivation prodigy with astonishing talent?" Shi Nian countered.

Qiong Yu was somewhat puzzled: "Isn’t he?"

The talents of Chen Xuan were clear for everyone to see.

Shi Nian shook her head: "The person I encountered was fundamentally a complete good-for-nothing. However, someone behind the scenes gave him something called a system. This system, named the Affinity System, allows him to gain energy by gaining the favor of others. They call this act ’conquering’. Once someone is completely conquered, he can seize all of their talents and make it his own."

Qiong Yu’s expression immediately became unsettled.

Shi Nian didn’t say it, but at this moment, Qiong Yu already thought of Hua Ranyue and others.

They were once the favored daughters of heaven, but after getting close to Chen Xuan, their talents gradually faded until they became indistinguishable from ordinary people.

Could it truly be because of Chen Xuan?

Conquering?

This is even more detestable than the most evil Demon Technique.

"Little Hua, that person you encountered..." Qiong Yu’s eyebrows twitched, reverting to her previous way of addressing Shi Nian.

Shi Nian said: "That person was not influential back then, and by now has already scattered soul and spirit. Chen Xuan can be considered to have made some achievements, but stepping up to the level of an Immortal Emperor is very difficult. His next target is clearly you, Master."

Qiong Yu guessed it too, but she was somewhat puzzled: "Why so? I don’t consider myself to have any particular talent or ability."

The ones Chen Xuan conquered were those blessed with exceptional innate gifts; although her own cultivation is passable, she is definitely not a genius type.

Shi Nian smiled and said: "Master, when you cultivate, have you ever encountered any bottlenecks in the Soul Realm?"

Qiong Yu nodded, then became even more perplexed: "Isn’t the Soul Realm supposed to grow naturally? How could there be bottlenecks?"

Shi Nian was somewhat speechless.

This Qiong Yu was the type who focused solely on her cultivation, never sharing insights with others, yet she thought it was normal for there to be no bottlenecks in the Soul Realm.

You should know.

Most cultivators are often trapped by the Soul Realm, many spending thousands or tens of thousands of years unable to progress.

Qiong Yu was also a bit puzzled; she asked: "Could this also be considered a kind of talent?"

Shi Nian: "...Maybe. If Chen Xuan can completely conquer you, Master, there’s a high chance he could advance to the Immortal Venerate Realm. But you, Master, will end up like Hua Ranyue and the others did."

End up like Hua Ranyue and others?

Not only losing all their talents but also deeply smitten with Chen Xuan?

Qiong Yu shuddered involuntarily; if that were the case, she would rather die!

But then again, if truly fully conquered, she fears even dying might not be possible.

That really would be too terrifying.
